MORE SAFETY Z D

Ii 10 evident, from the terrible acci-
dent In the Yellsw Jacket mine this
morning. whereby two good msn were
hurled Into eternity aud four others
were more or less seriously injured,
that better arrangements should DO
made and moro efficient precaution
taken to proven. the possibility Of such
calamitous accidents. 1t 10 true that
the "glrafrs" or cage, which went to
destruction, was provided with the best
known safety attachmsnt-ths toothed
escen.rlcs-such as are In use on the
cages at all the principal mining
shafts; bat. for some reason that can.
not now be ascertainsd, the safety at
tashmsnt failed to catch, as 1t should
have done, a. soon As the cable fasten-
Ing gave way. Had 1t been In good
condition. 1t should not have failed to
act, and tho cage would have been
stopped Immediately. Only about ten
daysags some men were being letdown
the incline on this same cage, when
something checked their progress and
slack cable was lowered, but the safety
attachment. did not fall to act aud the
cage was held firmly BY IL I'LL the I'm
pediment was renewed and the proper
strain brought upon the cable again
Il 10 thought by some that a 'tone OF
other obstruction must have got Into
the safety apparatus this Time pre-
venting i,s working. or it might have
become rusty. The best OF safety APP
pllanecs should not only DO always IN
use, but the same should be always
kept clean, we'll oiled, and In the
most perfect order. The miners them
selves should, for their own safety,
see that thls Is done.

Those MOIasses.

Senator Jones tells story of a queer
character we once had in Nevada by the
name of Pokebury. He was a lawyer of
some promise, but came to nothing through
drink. Losing all his clients, he went to
mining, and Joined rough miner by the
name of Spokes. At the end of week
Pokebury appeared in town with black
eye, swollen nose and lacerated garments
Of course we were anxious to know all about
it. Well, you see,' said he, Chilly and
were partners, and liked Billy, forhe's a
well-meaning man for an uneducated cuss
But Billy and dissolved partnership we
settled and struck--leastwise we struck
each other, and Billy settled. Our first lit
tie difference was of an astronomical char
acter. We divided the day different. Billy
divided on 6 A. NJ, and divided on 10 A.
NJ, and Billy, instead of allowing for astro-
nomical difference, said was lazy dog.
But didn't mind that, for Billy was my
partner, you see, and had q right to his
views. Then we differed on ablution. Bill
ly abluted before breakfast, and said was
a dirty dog, for you see always ablute after
breakfast. But did mt mind that, 6Rr peo-
pie will differ, and so Tonga the difference
don't affect business, what's the odds ?
But the third difference was just little too
much for me. We we're sitting down to
beans and slap-jacks, and Billy blowing
about my being greedy hog, when udden-
lryk k1,a fol ~ a. "a
those molasses." This was too much-no
man can say those molasses" to me and
live and just took him in the counte-
nance with a right-hander that settled him
and his darned insulting bad grammer to-
gether. That's the way we dissolved. I'm
in town, and l guess Bill will be here in a
couple of weeks"

what to Teach.

The daily newspapers are discussing,
with well affected surprise, the question
why nearly half of the young men named
for Cadets at West Point failed to pass the
very light examination required there. If
anybody understood the reason, we should
have supposed the editors of the newspa-
pers did. Does not the whole drift of the
so-called education of the country run to a
pretence in what people call the higher
branches, rather than to solidity in the
three Rs,-reading, writing, and arithme-
ticp And does any one know this better
than the editor of a daily newspaper, con-
demned to read articles badly written, badly
spelled, and based on very bad calculation ?
If, by some miracle, the Civil Service Rules
can be held on to for generation, so that
Commercial Colleges which teach nothing,
shall be fitly disgraced, and so that any
school which cannot teach boy to spell
shall be truly reported before the commu-
nifty, there will be, gradually, in the results
of the Civil Service examinations, stan
dard given which the country will heed as
to the working education of the schools.
1t is not West Point alone, which rejects
half the people who apply for admission.
There is not bank which wants new
teller, there is not an importer who wants
new clerk for correspondence, there is
not clergyman who wants new amanu-
ensis, there is not merchant who wants
a new book-keeper, who does not reject
nine applicants out of ten, for the very
reasons for which West Point has rejected
these boys, because they cannot spell, they
cannot write, and because they do not know
what the rule of three means. And thus
we come round again to the question,
Would it not be better to teach three
things thoroughly, than a thousand things
i'll ?"

A Strong Witness.

Some years ago law suit occurred out
West, growing out of the destruction of a
quantity of growing corn, belonging to a
Mr.. Wilson, by hogs owned by Mr.. Brown.
The latter owned eight hogs, and Wilson
declared that they were all in his field, aud
that, consequently the havoc was immense.
Brown protested that he didn't believe any
of his hogs were in Wilson's field, but if
any at all, certainly not more than one or
two, and therefore the damage could not
have been as great as represented.
Wilson had witness on his side named
Jerry Parker, not "a very bright young man,
but noted for having wonderful imagina-
tion. He came in late, and had not very
distinct idea as to how the case stood, but
he had very vague notion that it was for
Wilson's interest to make the number of
hogs appear as large as possible.
When he took the witness-stand he was
questioned by Wilson's lawyer, who asked;
Jerry, did you see the hogs in Mr.. VIII
sons cornfield, on the day in question:"
ayes, sir, did," replied Jerry.
"Do you know exactly how many there
were ?"
"No, didn't count 'em but I'll take
my oath there warn't less than thirty"
The CONSERVATION of Wilson and his law
yer at this unexpected reply, may be i'm
agined and it was not lessened when
Browns lawyer arose and said
"Your honor as my client has only eight
hogs it is very evident that those which
destroyed Mr.. Wilson's corn belonged to
some one else, and ask Judgment for the
defendant"
The court granted the request, and poor
Wilson, by having too strong Witness lost
the case

in charcoal. Have we an artist among us
Who occupies this room P"
"The kitchen-boy, Thomas, your Emf.
nence."
+" "A kitchen-boyp But so great genius
must not be neglected. Call the kitchen
boy Thomas" Thomas came up in fear
and trembling. He never had been in the
mighty cardinals presence before. He
looked at the charcoal drawings on the
wall, and then into the prelate's face, and
his heart sank within him.
"Ihomas, you are no longer kitchen
boy" said the cardinal, kindly.
Poor Thomas thought he was dismisse d
from service,-and then what would be-
come of PeterP
Don't send me away ~ he cried, i'm
ploringly, falling on his knees. 81 have
nowhere to go, and Peter will starve-
and he wants to be painter so much %
Who is Peter?" asked the cardinal.
&" He is a boy from Cortona, who boards
with me, and he drew those pictures on
the WALL and he will die if he cannot be a
painter"
"Where is he now P'' demanded the car
dinal.
He is out, wandering about the streets
to find something to draw. He goes out
every day and comes back at night
"When he returns tonight, Thomas,
bring him to me-" said the cardinal
"Such genius as that should not be allow
ed to live in a garrett"
But, strange to say, that night Peter
did not come back to his boarding-house.
One week, two weeks went by, and still
nothing was heard of him. At the end of
that time, the cardinal caused search
for him to be instituted, and at last they
found him in convent. 1t seems he had
fallen deeply in love with one of Raphaels
pictures which was exhibited there. He
had asked permission of the monks to
copy it, and they, charmed with his youth
and great talent, had readily consented,
and had lodged and nourished him all the
time.
Thanks to the interest the cardinal took
in him, Peter was admitted to the best
school for painting in Florence. AS for
Thomas, he was given post near the car
dinals person, and had masters to instruct
him in all the learning of the day.
Fifty years later, two old men lived to-
gether in one of the most beautiful houses
in Florence. One of them was called Peter
of Cortona, and people said of him, "He
is the greatest painter of our time" The
other was called Thomas, and all they said
of him was, Happy is the man who has
him for friend ~
And he was the boy who took boarder.

A Mad Candidate.

We won't vouch for the truth of it, but
good story is told of certain candidate
in this county. He stopped with farmer
the other day. He shook hands with him,
inquired kindly after the family strolked
the cat, kissed the baby and handed a
cracker to the dog then walked out on the
farm. He praised the horses and the cat
tie and went into ecstacies over the poul-
try was just three-quarters Of an hour in
getting the calves from one pasture into
another; held down couple of sheep
whilst the young men sheared them turn
ed the grind stone while the old man
ground the axe and scythe, and then made
the discovery that the farmer hadn't been
in the State long enough to vote. 1t is
said If that candidate was to spend the rest
OF his natural life in prayer he couldn't
mend what he did in those few minutes
after making that discovery.
