a COAL OH HoRRoR-Stockia0 Fate of
FoHR1 GirI.-The Cincinnati Gazette OF Monday
says: Last evening about half past nine O'Clock
q terrible affair occurred at No. % Race street,
which may result in the death of young girl,
but nineteen years OF age. Jacob Cinmer,
mIddie-a aged man, engaged as a barber in the
Gibson House shop, sides at No. %, which is
in a disTeputable neighbOrheOd, with his wife
and her children, he being her second hus-
drunk last evening when be went into the room
of his step-daughter and raised a row with her.
She told him to go out, as she did not want any
disturbance in her room, but instead of leaving

it at her. In an instant she as in the midst of
flames, as the lamp broke and scattered the
burning Oil all over her. Her light summer
clothes burned rapidly, and the flames leaped a
foot over her head. a neighbor, John Maxwell,
came to her relief and threw several articles
about her, ameng other things, a woolen com
forter, which stifed the flames, but not before
the girl had been terribly burnt. The room
also caught fire, and a portion of the floor was
burnt but this was soon put ont. The girl was
carried back to the room, for in her terror and
anguish sue had run down stairs into the open
air, and DR.. HOlcomb summoned. The lotion
prescribed for the wounds and the opiate, did
not seem 10 be effective, as, at midnight, she
was writhing in pain and moaning piteously.

A TENNESSEE CLOUD BURsT.-we learn
from parties who arrived to day some of the
particulars of the great rain storm on the Nash
vile and Chattanooga railroad line on Satur-
day night, August 90. Residents stated that
the rainfall was terrific. Crow Creek, at a
point on the lire about sixty miles distant from
the city, at the head of the canal, swollen be-
yond all precedent, struck the solid railroad
embRnkment, which at this point was about
forty feet high, and perhaps fifty feet at the
base, and composed of rock. This was carried
away by the water ia the width OF 100 feet or
more, leaving the railroad iron and cross ties
suspended in the air, sustained only by the
fishbars. Below, a distance OF POI or 800 yards

A Railway Under the Sea.

For many years European people
nave talked freely of some way of get
ting themselves and their freights from
the continent to England and back
again without the delay and discomfort
OF that horrible two hours passage
from Calais to Dover. Swinging cabins
nave been proposed tried, if we are not
mlstaken-to relieve passengers of the
prostratlng nausea that they feel there,
IL nowhere else. Immense steamers
were planned-we believe their build.
ing commenced-which should ferry
over railway trains without change of
load. One intellectual idiot spent much
money in perfecting plans for bridge
TO be erected on immense piers resting
on the ocean bedrock, and, finally, the
wild chimera Gas we then called it, of
submarine tunnel was projected.
But the world has advanced since
then, and the chimera has assumed
realistic appearance. We have forced
hole through the Hoosac range, we
have tunneled Mont Gents we have
run the sea through the Isthmus of
Suez; we have stretched telegraph
round the world /; and, finally, we begin
to imagine, why shouldn't we tunnel the
British channel? tits only twenty-five
miles of boring.
And SO work in the first stages has
commenced quietly, but understanding
~. Eminent biologists are making ex-
ploratlons to discover whether the rock
strata are of character to sustain the
weight of the water above, without too
much masonry. Upon that rests the
whole question. If, as believed, it
proves that the gray chalk which
forms the channel cliffs stretches across
the channel bed in sufficient thickness
to encase the tunnel in it's waterproof
armor, the scheme has no insuperable
mechanical obstacle. The expense is
then the only question and it is be-
lieved that that can be readily pro-
vided for.

Ancient People of Colorado.

Tradition has it that once in the cen
turtles gone by there lived a people in
comfort, elegance, and a reasonable
high estate Of civilization-the loyal
Aztecs. Cortez came, the Montezuma
called, their religion and their govern
ment were peril, and, leaving home and
comfort and country, these true leges
of sovereign whose throne rested on
the centuries, went down to the city of
Mexico to fight for their traditions and
flag and faith-fought and lost and
died. Certain is it that in Pueblo
county, there are traces Of civilization
and of substantial OF ulence, of which
the very tradition has passed away
here, and which is neither Spanish nor
Indian. Certain it is that, while the
Indians, awed by the visible manifesto
tons of the hand Of God, came there to
worship on state occasions, they did
not use it as one of their permanent
hunting grounds or winter abodes. For
centuries it seems hardly to have known
the face of a man as dweller, and
now, at flash, it is open to all the
world, and the silence Of ages is broken
by all the confused orchestra of modern
life, the scream of the locomotive, the
busy hum of industries, the whirl of
machinery, the sounds Of the gong and
revelry, the crack of the rife, the voice
of prayer and praise, the music of chill
dren's voices, and the quiet rhythm Of
ha11r,v homes

Breathing Through the Nose.

The pernicious habit of breathing
through the mouth, while sleeping or
waking, is very hurtfuI There are
many persons who sleep with the mouth
open, and do not know it. They may
go to sleep with it closed, and wake
with it closed; but if the mouth is dry
and parched on waking it is a sign that
the mouth has been open during sleep.
Snoring is a certain sign. This habit
should be overcome. At all times, ex-
cept when eating, drinking or speaking,
keep the mouth firmly closed and
breathe through the nostrils, and retire
with firm determination to conquer.
The nostrils are the proper breathing
apparatus the mouth. A man may
inhale poisonous gases through the
mouth without being aware Of it, but
not through the nose. = Science Of
Health.

Rubber OvershOes for Horses.

Rubber overshoes for horses are a
recent invention, which promises to be
a boon to the equine inhabitants of
paved cities. The shoes are made and
lined in precisely similar manner to the
article of apparel worn by the human
race, and, in fact, presents no points,
OF difference save in it's shape and it's
manufacture of the best quality of India
rubber. 1t is designed as substitute
for the iron shoe, and as a means of
preventing the many maladies to which
horses feet are subject. Horses suffer
ing with cracked or contracted hoofs
and similar painful hurts, it is said, are
quickly cured by the substitution of
the rubber covering for the unyielding
metal shoe. The elasticity of the
former allows the hoof to remain in its
natural shape, while protected from
abrasion against pavements by the
heavy rubber sole beneath. The de-
vice is easily removed from, or put on
the hoof, and hence while standing in
the stall or turned out to pasture, the
horse may be left barefooted. In win
ter time, the covering serves as a pro-
lection against illness, due to the COM
mon practice of mingling salt with the
Ice and snow in city streets, while the
roughened surface of the rubber be-
meath serves to give the animal foot
hold in slippery weather. AS compared
with iron shoes, the cost of the rubber
ones is about one-third more, and their
weight is some 40 per cent. less, while
they are very durable. Sixteen sizes
are manufactured, so that accurate fits
may be obtained.

September. On that day typhoon swept
over the country surrounding the cities of
Hong Kong and Macao, destroying 1000 per-
sons at the former and over 10000 at the
latter place. The loss to property was beyond
immediate computation. The people were
unable to bury the decaying bodies with
safety to their own lives, and tar was poured
over the corpses after heaping them
and the whole burned. A tidal wave and
earthquake accompanied the typhoon, wreck
ing nearly all the shipping on the coast.
Bodies were washed ashore for many days

D~IsRAELI's NIsIf TO- IEELANp.-It is
rumored in London that the English
Premier will go to Ireland on q pros
pectinS tour. His chief business will
be to find n suitable spot for the pro-
posed royal residence, which is the
latest panacea for Irish discomfort. II
may be also that Mr.. Disraeli wants to
take a peep at the melancholy cea
which he has so feelingly described,
though he never saw it. What a
strange commentary it is on the rela-
tons OF the two countries that Mr..
Disraeli, though he has governed Ire
land, has never visited it! His recep-
ton is not likely to be very warm, and
unless he happens to find the iour-
leaved shamrock his royal residence
scheme will scarcely be productive of
any very remarkable revolutions in
Irish opinion.

THE LABOR QUESTION IN ENG.
LAND.

The relations between capital and la
Dor in England are evidently not sat
i>fac,ory to the mass of werkingmen
i'll that country. Forty thousand mi
ners assembling in the old cathedral
town o. Durham, nominallv to pro-
test against a proposed reduction of
their wages, but in reality to denounce
the system under which they live, is
All incident of singular significance.
The English are essentially 4 slow
moving race, not much sub
iect to those sudden e~xcitements
which lead to revolutions in Con-
tinental countries, but they have cyer
exhibited = dOsyed resolution in seek
ing the redress Of their grievances.
Discomfort has smculdered during
many years in the north of England.
and seems likely to be famed into 4
flame by the struggle which the CAPT
talists have unwisely challenged. In
the past generation the discomfort of
the workingmen was easily suppressed
because they were ignorant and pos
sessed nc organization, but the power
to-day welded by the trade organiza-
tons has no example in the history of
labor. 1t is not reassuring for the do
mestic peace of England when forty
thousand Of the hardest working
men i'll one county assemble and
publicly denounce the system of class
government under which they have
hitherto lived. Even the throne
was not respected. and these
forty thousand toil-strensthened men
inquired why, il the times were
80 bad, the wages OF royalty
should not be ext down ?
That question shows the existence OF
a dangerous spirit. The old traditions
of the monarchy have lest their sane
,ity, and they must now expect TO be
weighed and examined, and if found
faulty to be cast aside. The evident
drift of this labor movement is toward
re~publicanism. The people want to
exercise their legitimate influence in
the government of the country, and
have come TO the conclusion that the
absorption of the land by 4 few noble
families is All infringement of the nat
aral right of man-that is, England is
approaching the French Revolution.
The people want back their share of
the national domain.
