Dreadful Fall Down a Shaft.

The Rockville Republican relates an escape from death thatis almost incred- ible:
 . Nelson Whitemarsh and Patrick Con- don are employed in the shaft of the Union Goal Company, of La Salle, Ill. A few mornings since, having stepped upon the cage to descend, after having the signal all right, the drum around which the cable runs, and which at the time was somehown disconnected from the other machinery, began to revolve rapidly, and they knew that they were riding to perhaps 8 horrible death. They struck the bottom, distance of 253 feet, and breaking through the three-inch planking, were plunged into the stump, which contained about ten feet of water. Wonderful to relate. neither of them were killed, but com ing to the surface they clambered up on the boards. The car which was ascend ing at the same time they were going down, reached the surface with awful momentum, and tore through the upper works and wrecked nearly everything in the immediate vicinity. Assistance was sent below, and the injured men brought to the surface, where a vast crowd of people had assembled. They were carried home and medical aid summoned. Whitemarsh sustained a fearful concussion on the hip, and is bruised in several places. Condon was not so seriously injured. No bones were broken, and hopes are entertained that with proper treatment they may

Curious Electrical Phenomenon.

A party of surveyors belonging to the United States geological survey expedi- tion of 1872, had novel experience on the summit of peak near Cinnabar mountain. When they were within five hundred feet of the top, storm came up and they were enveloped in clouds. The ascent was very difficult, as the fragments of rock were sharp, and most of them loose, sliding from beneath the feet of the party as they clambered up ward.
 One of the company, however, suc- ceeded in reaching the highest point and depositing his instruments, when he discovered that he was in the midst of an electrical cloud, and his feel ings not being of the most agreeable sort, he retreated. As he neared the remainder of the party they observed that his hair was standing on end, as though he were on an electrical stool, and they could heara series of snapping sounds, as if he were receiving the charges of a number of frictional elec- trical machines.
 Another member who attempted the ascent soon received shock which de- tered him. The peak was appropri- ately called Electric Peak. Its altitude, as measured the following day, is 10, 992 feet above the sea.

The Burning of Children by a Prairie E:E= Fire in Nebraska,

Our readers, says an Omaha paper, are unfortunately somewhat familiar with accounts of prairie fires, but one Division of the Omaha and South western Railroad, which surpasses in its terrible results any we have ever known. It was indeed 8 prairie fire on a large scale. It started somewhere near the Otoe Indian reservation, southeast of Beatrice, and travelled at least twenty-five miles. The long dry grass was fitting food for it, and the flames Gercely licked it up and swept on across the prairie at an appalling rate of speed. Its route lay east of Bear Creek, and six miles east of Beat rice.
 Near Wilbur, and ten miles south of Crete, this advancing avalanche of flame approached a shool-house filled with children. The teacher knew that the house had been provided with the usual safeguard, that it had been plowed around, and endeavored to keep the children there as the safest place. But they saw the fire coming and sprang out in panic to run from it. Ten were overtaken, three were burned to death on the spot, three others so se- verely that they cannot live, and four more terribly maiemd by the fire, but it is believed they will recover. Most of the children were little girls about seven and. eight years of age, but there was certainly one boy among the suf- ferers, and perhaps more.
 Mrs. Mercy is the name of the mother who saw three of her children in the appalling situation we have de- scribed. She ran to their rescue, and was herself enveloped in the flames, and so terribly burned that she will not recover.
 Several houses and large quantities of grain were destroyed by this fire. It spread terror throughout that section of the country, and the inhabitants turned out en masse to subdue it.
 Dr. De Bar, of Crete, hastened to the spot where the children were burn ed, and, with the people of that vicin. ity, did all that was possible to relieve them. He said that he had been through the war, and had seen men maimed and suffering in almost every form, but had never witnessed sight which so completely unnerved him as this. The school-house from which the children fled is still standing, and the teacher escaped by remaining in and about it. a ~-

Wood Carnetinos

The Scientific American describes the new wood carpeting which is con- ing into extensive use, as follows: 'The fabric is made of slats or more orna- mental shapes, glued or cemented up- on cloth backing. The slats or strips of wood are of different colors. and are arranged to produce all the effects of tesselated floors, mosaic work, etc., and being about quarter of an inch in thickness, they will wear many years. They are finished in oil and fit together so tightly that the joints are as perfect as inlald work. The surface thus pro- duced can therefore be scrubbed, wash ed and oiled when needed, precisely like other floors made of ornamental woods, which floors they resemble in all respects when laid."

Do Not Hurry.

- People are talking of the way in which the brilliant French physician, the late Dr. Nelaton, used to perform operations. While most finely accu- rate, he was also calm and cool to a marvel. One of his doctrines was that there was no danger when a correct diagnosis had been made, and when the surgeon knew what he was about. eff you have the misfortune to cut an artery" he would say, remember that syncope will not occur for two minutes, and death only about as long after. Four minutes is four times as long as is necessary to place igature on blood-vessel, provided that you do not hurry" Never to hurry was one of the elements of his power. Once upon time he gave voice to 8 clever paradox which deserves to be remem- bered by all surgeons. "You are go- ing too quick" he said to an assistant :; "we have no time to lose."

Affairs in Khiya.

A telegram from St. Petersburg re- ports that the Russian government has been specially informed by dispatches from Central Asia of the inception and contiued existence of frightful condi- tion of affairs in Khiva since the retire ment of the imperialist Muscovite troops from the Khanate territory. The city of Khiva was captured, plundered and razed by force of revolted You meds after the departure of General Kaufmann and his army. Sixteen hun dred Persians, just emancipated from slavery, have been slaughtered by the lUsbeks-a very sad and exceedingly serious affair. His Highness the Khan is, it is alleged, calling out for the Rus sians to return, so as to enable him to restore order. Such is the imperialist account of the present fruits of the Czar's military mission to Khiva.

A PRovIDENT1A1 MAN.-This title now justly belongs to 8 physician who has added to the list of medicines a new remedy, which appears to include all that is most valuable in the old pharmacopeia, and mot to include any of the drawbacks with which the so- called specifics of the Faculty are chargeable. The Providential man is DR. JOSEPH WALKER, of California, whose VINEGAR BITTERs have achieved, in the short space of two years, a degree of popularity never before attained by any advertised preparation in this coun- try. We have too much confidence in the shrewdness of the American people to suppose that this sudden and sur prising celebrity is the outgrowth of a delusion. Indeed, we have reason to know that it is founded on innumerable and we'll authenticated cures of almost all the bodily ills that flesh is heir to. Not the least among the merits of the famous Tonic and Restorative, is it's entire freedom from alcohol, as we'll as from all mineral drugs. It is composed exclusively of rare vegetable extracts. -GOH1

FUNNY.-An exchange tells of an agreeable incident that occurred few days ago. The lady had man bred to the business to put down her carpets. While thus engaged he held the tacks in his mouth, and they natur- ally embarrassed him in articulation. Noticing his fruitless effort to answer one of her questions, and understand ing but one cause for the trouble, she sped out of the room in search of a spittoon, and after some fifteen minutes of overhauling and tearing down, found the article, and returning with it to the room, sat it down in front of the man, with the brief injunction to ''spit in that" He looked up at her for an instant, and then got his head down in time to enable the spittoon to catch the velley of Jacks that followed the ex- plosion.
