That Wood Cut Libel.

The Oakland Tribune thus explains
the manner in which the San Francisco
Chronicle obtained the plate from which
ii printed the recent hbolous caricaturc
Of James Lick:
Frank Leslie's Illustrated Journal used
to publish ON its fourth page what pur-
ported to be u Photographic likeness Of
missing people and unknown persons
found drowned. The Chronicle has
bought up = lot Of these cuts and pro-
poses TO perpetrate them upon its
readers. The last Sunday edition OF
that paper contained n picture OF a
corpse which was picked up in East
River some four years ago which was
identified. The Chronicle calls it
James Lick. We expect to SEQ n of
these cuts trotted ont next Sunday

Eureka Mining Items.
From the sentinel, August 81

The amount Of charcoalreceived at the
various furnaces during the past month
has been rs follows: Eureka Consolida-
ted, 81, 900 bushels; Richmond Consoli.
dated, 65, 900 bushels: Ruby Consolidated
90 600; H~oosac, 1850 bushels, in all.
1893, 250 bushels, being $3.50 bushels
less than was received at the Richmond
for the last ultimo month. This branch
Of industry. now that the recent troubles
with the manager Of the last named COM
pany are happily adjusted upon a basis
satisfactory to all, will o again be-
come active and rcmuneratiye TO produ-
GERS, for tho price agreed upon, all things
considered, IL an equitable n enough
while the weather remains fine. There
is an identity Of interests established
between consumers or producers, or
ought 10 bo II there Is not, which should
not be lost sight Of by either party. Peace
once more reigns in Warsaw, and we are
glad Of 1t, for all concerned.
The monthly bullion product has been,
Eureka Consolidated, - days, 500, 900
pounds; Richmond, l.iG0,0 900 pounds;
Ruby Consolidated, 23G, 900 pounds;
Hoosac, lGO, 7iipounds, which makes,in
all. 2,O57. 7l3 pounds. nearly l,O29 tons.
This, when We take into account the
drawback OF the month just passed, is no
inconsidenblc amount. OF this amount
the Richmond, ii will be observed, pro-
duced a tribe over one.half OF what has
boon turned out altogether. This show
ing, we are glad to say, sustains the rep
utation Of the Richmond mine.
Bullion shipments for the month:
Eureka Consolidated. 5l9,5Oi pounds;
Richmond, l,0i0,00O pounds; Ruby,
3i2, li2 pounds; which leaves now on
hand, Hoosac, l00. 900 pounds, making

A ROPE WALKERS DOOM.
Terrible Fall and Death Of a Can
adam Acrobat.
trrom N, PORT Hons (c.n.ds) rimes.l

From the Fort Hope lCanadp Times.I
Shortly after the performer who
was to meet such q horrible death APP
peared on the top OF one Of the houses,
dressed in his fancy attire, and looked
for a moment at the assembled thou
sands, and then began to make prepar-
tons to facilitate, as il proved, bis own
destruction. He had the appearances Of
n slightly built man, and did not show q
great amo Int Of bodily strengthen
fact. Is the sequel disclosed, not sufi-
cient to carry him through the arduous
feat which he attempted. The rope
having been secured, he seized his ball
ancs pole and started; but he only
walked u few steps whom he hastily re-
treated and gave further directions to q
couple Of men who held the ends OF the
| guy-ropes nearest the house. His or
ders having been obeyed he again start
ed of, and with apparent ease walked to
the center OF the rope. Here two iron
rings, about a couple Of feet apart, hung
three feet or thereabouts from the
ropes. The rings were just over the
middle Of tho road. which was thickly
covered with gravel aud as hard rs rock.
When the performer had reached
these rings he halted, stopped down and
fastened his balance pole to the rope.
He then proceeded to let himself down
to the rings, where he once or twice per-
formed an easy feat. He then let him
self down to the full extent Of his arms,
and, pausing q moment, raised himself
slightly, put his feet through between
his arms, and went backward az far rs
no could, waiting m instant, and then
bringing himself back again to his orig
inal position. This 10 a feat requiring
immense strength OF arm, and should
never be performed at q dangerous dis
tancc from the ground, as the slightest
failure Of muscle or q bend too far back
would DO instant death. This feat the
young man performed successfully

rent he was making an immense tax on
his strength, and those present who un.
derstood q little about gymnastics, felt
anxious, as they knew he no had yet q
difficult move to make. which was to re.
gain the rope. He did not let himself
back so far this last time, for the thought
seemed to have apparently oppressed him
that his strength was failing. He has
tily brought himself to the original po-
sition, but scarcely had he done 80 than
he let 60 one ring with his right hand.

To the Republicans of PenusylyH-

\ on are called upon, once more, to make
u stand in defense Of your principles. The
party which, by its political heresies,
plunged this country into a bloody war,
stands arrayed against you on precisely
grounds which it occupied in 1880, and
proposes to reopen all the old controversies
which it was thought had been settled by

LOOK AFTER THE EYEs.-Multitudes of
men and women bare made their eyes
weak for life by the too free use of eyesight,
reading small print and doing fine sewing.
In view of these things, it is we'll to observe
the following rules in the use Of the eyes :
Avoid all sudden changes between light
and darkness
Never read BY twilight, or on n very
cloudy day.
Never sleep SO that on waking the eyes
shall open on the light of The window.
Do not use eyesight by light so scant
that it requires an effort to discriminate.
Never read nr Sew directly in front of the
light of the wiudnw.
Ii is best To have the light from above, or
o5liqurly "r over the left shoulder.
Too mulch hight creates glare and pains
and cnufuses the si.ht. The moment you
are sensible of an etlnrt to distinguish. that
moment stop and talk, walk or ride.
AS the sky is blue and the earth green, it
would seem that the ceiling should be a
blush tinge, the carpet green, and the
walls of some mellow tint.
The moment you are instinctively inclin-
ed te rub the eyes, that moment cease TO
use them.
If the eyelids are glued together on wax
ing, do not forcibly open them, but apply
saliva with the finger, and then wash your
eyes and face with warm water.

Union and its perpetuity, as they desire the
permanent establishment of the protective
policy, as they value honesty, integrity,
and fidelity in their public servants, to put
on fresh zeal for their sacred and righteous
cause, to renew their hearty devotion to
their principles and the welfare Of the coun-
try, and by a strong and determined rally
at the polls, to crush out at once the hopes
of those who would light again the fires of
rebellion at the South, and the purpose to
cooperate with them which animates their
Democratic coadjutars at the North.
