ladders, through a hight Of from 600 to
900 feet, before he can reach his cot.

food aud sleep. This climbing of the
ladders is performed hastily, is al
most gymnastic feat, and throws
a heavy strain amounting from
one-eight to one-quarter of the whole

tired miner during the half-hour that

the Cornish miner, who is fed chiefly on
dough aud fat, finds himself greatly dis

Finally one of the party who had been ST.
lent during the ferocious combat of
words, turned upon our American hero

retreat, followed by a hearty laugh and a
shower of imprecations. Weare glad the
incident occurred. for thereby We have
