The Dying Hour in a Mine,

"Aye, Master" said Cornish miner
in Colorado, cit be true hard loife,
but we uns are brought up to it loike,
and begout the danger we'll emile itsame
loike o'you the air bout you. Aye, it
be, master, dark, but don't think'ee
we can't tell e day an noight. Aye,
can we, an make a moighty difference
atween e noight an day. No mon can
sleep e same in day as noight he
cawn't fix it up nohow, an we do
know when noight come on to e minute,
when e sun go down. But worst O. all
be that we uns call e dyin' hour O. the

There e best O. us gins e hammer a

Experience in the mines proves that
curious fact that there is a "dying
hour about 3 or o'clock in the morn
ing, and though one would think day
and night the same in this Egyptian
gloom, the miners find a vast difference.

Discoveries at Chatham HarbOr.

washing away of the land opposite
the opening of Chatham Harbor, Massa-
chusetts, has disclosed large bodies of
peat filed with stumps of trees and
other relics of woods and swamps which
at some remote period must have e1-
tended into what is now the harbor
and probably into the ocean. In a
newly exposed bed ofpeat were found the
footprints of cloven-footed animals of
various sizes, from two to five or more
inches in diameter. Around the stump
where once stood a large tree, the ami
mails seem to have found peculiar
attractions, and imbedded in the hard
mud are considerable quantities of
coarse hair, in locks of considerable
size, and in q good state of preservation;
in appearance like that of the buffalo
or moose. In another part of these
beds of peat were the prints of human
footsteps Of various sizes, from that of
a small child to medium sized lady's
foot. They were all barefoot, and al
though the waves from the ocean at
every food break upon them, so per-
fectly are they preserved that the prints
of the toes can be distinctly seen. The
impressions are from two to three
inches in depth, and quite narrow, and
were made when the peat was soft.
The foot is wide and spreading at the
toes.

Prepared. Laudanum.

A Bennington, VT, druggist sold it
under the name of laudanum. A sim
pie sort Of fellow from Woodford
was sitting in the drug store the other
day, when a man came in and said he
did not feel we'll, and would like some
prepared laudanum. The apothecary
went into the back room and prepared
good-sized glass, and the man drank
it. Woodford remarked that the fellow
wouldn't live long after taking SO much.
Presently another man came in and got
a drink Of laudanum. The Woodford
chap followed him to the door and
watched him for long time as he went
down the street, and remarked, as he
came in and sat down That fellow
stands it well-he must be used to tax
ing it, By and by third man came
and took large dose of laudanum and
went out. This rubbed up the dull in
tellect Of the Woodford man, and step
ping up to the counter he said, "See
here, boss, I'll take dose of that LODI
lum; it don't kill anybody, and folks
seem to like it.

color three times day. It is spoken
Of as another wonderful evidence of
Chinese art in leading nature out Of
her customary paths. It is not more
remarkable than floral freak ofSouth-
ern Australia, beautiful flower, SINH
lar to our well-known morning glory,
with f'.e streaks of color on its bell
shaped calyx. In the early morning
the color streaks are pale-biue. Toward
noon they turn to a rich purple tint,
which changes to light pink during
the afternoon. AS the day declines,
the color fades, disappearing entirely
after sunset, when the flower closes and
dies.

England COuntenancing Slavery.
NJ. D. Conway's London Letter to the Cincinna,
Commercial.

M. D. Conway's London Letter to the Cincinnati
CONNER cial.
l have already informed you of the
arrangement which they have made for
making slavery systematic feature of
the new government to be established
on the west coast of Africa. Let it not
be thought that there is anything half
way in the matter. The government
was cross-examined on the subject last
night, and uttered some fine sentiments,
but it gave no promise of any intention
to alter its plans. The ugly fact re-
mains that the slave trade really goes
on in the west of Africa under the same
flag which is engaged in suppressing it
on the east SIDE The Fantees and the
Ashantees have reopened their trade,
and the slave-market is under the very
shadow Of Cape Coast Castle, the Brit
ish headquarters. The British Judge
at the castle is assessor for the native
population, and one of his occupations
is to return fugitive slaves. If a newly
purchased slave runs away, the English
Judge issues to the master a warrant for
its apprehension.

now the stars which we call Castor and
Pollux. He had box which he com.
manded her never to open. She dis
obeyed, and as she took off the cover a
cloud of five colors spread from it and
rose up to heaven. He summoned the
cloud to come to him, and having
mounted on it be assembled to heaven.
His wife followed after him. But he
had already crossed the river. Know
ing that she could not follow, she fell
on her face and cried, confessing her
disobedience to his command. Then
he appeared on the opposite bank, and
said they could not live together as be-
fore, but would be seen together in the
evening of the sixth day Of the seventh
month in every year, and then the river
would be in condition to be crossed.
Thus they always live on the opposite
sides of the river, and can meet only
once year.

Thanksgiving day was celebrated
the memben Of the Disciple churcl-

ceremony Of the ordination Of Elders

blythe customary religious preliminaries,
at the conclusion Of which, Chaplain
Jones delivered an impressive sermon,
demonstrating the importance of church
government according 10 apostolic prin-
ciples. Following him, the charge 70
the newly elected officers was deliver
ed in an earnest and imposing manner
by Elder j. W. Ingram, Pastor. Tho
following is list ofthe officers ordained
upon that occasion: Elias Walcutt,
Thomas Vanhorn, Charles +. LAiblin
and John Whitacre, Elders, and George
Sipes, William Clemens, James Meyers,
David Hill and Cyrus BombeFger, Dea-
cons. Elder Ingram seems to be very
popular among his people, who have
greatly increased in membership under
his labors. The church is evidently toe
small for the convenience of the increas-
ing congregation, and we are glad TO note
that steps are being taken for the con-
struction Of larger edifice, though the
present building now presents a more
attractive interior than ever, having
recently been newly papered, carpeted
and painted, and received new sFRt
cushions. A protracted meeting is now
being held nightly in this church, under
the direction of the pastor, which prom
ises success.
