A Plucky Woman.

A woman, aged between forty five and fifty years, called on ticket-agent Kimball, of the Union Pacific, Omaha, and applied for a pass. It appears that she has husband and son at North Platte, and she was on her way from Atlanta, Ga., to meet them. The money they had sent only paid her travelling expenses to St. Joe. On arriving there she pluckily determined to walk to North Platte, a distance of 300 miles. So she started, and arrived in Omaha, having walked 140 miles, after suffering considerable on the way. When she reached Omaha she found the weather had suddenly become 80 cold that her courage and endurance failed her, as she was thinly clad. MT. Kimball fur nished her pass to her destination, and she expressed her grateful thanks with tears in her eyes, and as she left the office we heard her ntteS "God bless you."

How to Trim Apron Fronts,

The long apron fronts of over-skirts are now the objective points for trim ming, fashion journal says. There is fancy for trimming these aprons with three curved or horizontal rows that give the effect of borders for three aprons. Black cashmere overskirts have three rows of jet fringe headed by passementerie across the apron front. and dividing it into three equal tiers, Plain colored camel's.hair aprons have three bias bands of plaid curved across them. Tall ladies are especially pleased with this trimming. Short ladies, and particularly those with very long waists. use perpendicular rows of jet galloon on the apron to give the appearance of greater length below the waist. Very slender figures use the triple apron which is three short aprons overlapping each other, edged with fringe, and drsped or festooned across the front breadths. The best plan for those who are too stout is to have five bias bands of velvet sewed down the front breadths of the lower skirt from the belt to the fiounce at the foot, and thus dispense with 8 separate apron.

A Mine on Fire.

A fire broke out in the shaft of the Belsher mine, Nevada, while the miners were at work. The fire was first discovered by persons down ill the mine, but it soon made itself manifest on the surface in the dense volume of smoke that rose up from the mouth of the shaft and ascended to a perpendicu- lar height of 300 or 400 feet. This huge column of smoke was one of tho grand est sights imaginable. The air was perfectly calm and the smoke assumed the form of huge balloons rolling up- ward, one over the other, and all of pitchy blackness.
 The wives and children of the miners, and all who had friends and relatives in the mine, hecked by hundreds, weep ing and wailing as they ran, in the di- rection of the mine. To attempt to de- scribe the wretchedness and despair of these people would be futile. After the vast pillar of smoke had rolled steadily upward from the mouth of the shaft for twenty minutes or more, and when 8 great crowd was collected about the spot, there came flash as of light ming; there was & dull report, which was heard at the distance of mile, and a sheet of flame shot upward to the height of 300 or 400 feet. Instantly the dark column of smoke was gone-was consumed in the leaping sheet of flame. The flame then fell back to the height of about fifty feet, and to this height it continued to dart for over an hour. This great tongue of flame shot upward with roar that could be heard at 8 dis tance of quarter of mile. Large pieces of flaming wood shot out at the mouth of the shaft, and immense quan- titles of live ooals, many of them as large as @ mans fist, were darted fifty feet into the air, waited away, and fell in showers on the roofs of buildings and on all around for great distance. At a distance the fire bore striking re- semblance to an active volcano. What wind there wss came from the north, and to the southward to the distance of over 100 yards, the ground was com pletely covered with coals.
 The miners and people in the neigh borhood fought the fire so gallantly that those in the mine were rescued, al- though number of them were severely burned. The escape of any of them was miraculous.

An Eccentric.

A handsome inheritance has come to some lucky heirs residing in Iowa and Nebraska. Three generations ago 8 wealthy and publio-spirited citizen, who was Mayor of Norwich, England, died, leaving the municipality a large sum of money upon the condition that in the third generation of his family the accumulated interest on the sum donated to the city should be paid to the helrs of the donor. The descend ants of this generous and eccentric man were we'll aware of the provisions of his last testament, and accordingly have kept trace of the funds. Lately the last heir of the second generation died, and the third generation, who are residents of the United States, have been notified to appear on the 24th of November and claim their property. The amount inherited is about $500, 900, American currency, and will be divided among several people. Representatives of these heirs came East last week, and sailed for Europe from New York on Saturday.

THE EDDY FAMILY.
What Dr. Beard Thinks of the Vermont
 SpiritualiSts.


 spiritualists.
 Dr. George M. Beard, of New York city, has in preparation a paper giving in full the details of his late visit to the spiritualistic seances of the Eddy brothers, at Rutland, Vermont. In conversation with members of the press, Dr. Beard unhesitatingly qualities the spiritual phenomena observed as pure trickery. The seances are classified as light, dark, and materialistic. The chief trick in the light seance is the production of music by supposed spiritual hands. An individual is acted on in each instance. "The medium clasps the arm of the individual in both his hands. A shawl hides the hands of both, and screen divides the two from the table upon which the musical in- struments lie within easy reach of the medium. This circle completed, 8 jangling of guitar strings and tam bourine makes poor apology for heavenly music, and during the inter- acfoss the face of the passive party. grasp of the two hands is never once 1OAOtsSGO 4AO1n AAS u11AAs ttAA 6O COAOAtANSS that spirits agitate the guitar strings" The success of this trick, Dr. Beard observes, "depends on on interesting, well-known physiological fact, namely, that when the arm is barred and cold hands are clappedss on it and pressed hard, the sensation is so benumbed that if the lower hand be removed the person operated on will not know it. ;"
 The materializing of spirits he de- clares to be an old trick, though the Eddys produce the spirits in greater numbers than usual. "Their success is due partly to the fact that it is so dark in the room where the materializa- tions are going on." Although my eyesight is perfect, I found it impossi- ble, at the distance of even few feet, to distinguish more than the form and the general outline of the features. /" "The face of child could not be dis tinguished behind those curtains and in that darkness from the face of a monkey, the face of an angel, the face of dog, pocket handkerchief, or the top of boot" Dr. Beard endeavored to apply an electric shock to some of the spirits, but was not allowed to manage the battery himself. He thinks if man of muscle should seize Honto, his physical identity would be mani fested. "The key points of the de- ception are the physical fexibiity of the family and the benumbing of the arm trick in the light seance. All those who deal with the insane and with criminals know that there are persons so flexible and Timber that they cannot be kept handcuffed or tied in any way" :" Nearly all, if not all, the tricks classified as spiritualism depend on some physio- logical fact or peculiarity which would not be recognized or understood, and might not be detected, by any man, however we'll versed in literature, art, or even in other branches of science.

Investment with Positive Return.

No financial securities yet offered in the market have become so readily and gener- ally popular as tho first mortgage premium bonds of the Industrial Exhibition Company of New York, and there exists many patent reasons for this marked preference. In the first place the bonds are placed at the attain able price of $20 each, and tho return of the principal is assured beyond contingency {; further the holder of each bond participates in every quarterly Premium drawing until it is redeemed-principal and interert. The pre- miums range as high as $10O,0OO for single bond. The next Premium Drawing will be held on the 7th of December next, at Steinway Hall, New York. The character of the gen tlemen who have the management of this great enterprise in hand, is of itself ample assurance that the plan will be carried through to successful consummation, and that the interests of the bondholders will be faithfully guarded.
 By addressing Morgenthau, Bruno & Co.,, tho Financial Agents, at No. 23 Park Row, N. Y., circulars giving full explanation may be obtained.-Com.

Whisky and the Weed.

Intelligent physiologists and patholo- gists admit that all so-called medicines containing alcohol-whether they ema- nate from the regular pharmacopoeia and are called tinctures, or from the empirical rum mills, and are labeled "Tonics "-are essentially dangerous and destructive. The only way in which drunkenness can be arrested is by restoring the integrity of the nerves Especially the nerves of taste and the great sympathetic nerve), and purify ing the animal fluids; and these ob- jects are more certainly and swiftly ac- complished by the use of Dr. Walkers Vinegar Bitters than by any other means. Hence, probably, the opinions now so generally expressed. that this pure preparation is 0 sovereign remedy for the evils referred to. Should it be clearly ascertained that Vinegar Bitters is not only specific for indigo stion, liver disease, nervousness, scrofulous ulcers and eruptions, and host of other disorders, but also for inebriety, thousands will rise up and call the dis coverer blessed.-Cone.

Prosperous Northern New York.

The Watertown Times says: "The season, now drawing to 8 close, has been one of the most productive our husbandmen have ever known. The yield of grass and hay has been unpre- cedently large, the grain and root crops have been fully up to, if not more than an average, while the production of our dairies has probably never been equal ed. To crown the whole, prices are ex- cellent; so if ever people had cause for gratitude and thankfulness, it is those of Jefferson county and Northern New York. It seems to us that all sorts of business in our towns ought to be brisk and paying during the fall and coming winter"
