Cleaning a Chimney.

Judge Pitman's chimney has been
foul for some time; ardas he mentioned
the fact at the drug store. Mr.. Squills
said no could easily clean 1t out by eI-
ploding q little powder in the fireplace,
The idea seemed to Pitman to be n good
one, and no bought almost ten pounds
Of powder in order to do the work at the
first blast. The men were graveling his
roof that day, and just as the Judge was
about TO touch OF the charge, q work
man named Snyder leaned over the top
OF the chimney to call to the men below
10 send up more tar. Then the Judge
lit the slow match. The view which met
tho eye Of Mr.. Snyder rs he went up
was q fine one. embracing, rs II did,
Cape May. and Omaha, and C~onstanti-
nopls. and Baltimore. and the Sandwich
Islands. and when he got enough OF
drinking in the scenery he came down
in the river, apparently with the inten-
ton OF exploring the bottom. When hc
was fshed out ho was glad to learn not
only that the judges chimney was thor
oughly clean, but that ii would need
about four cart loads OF brick 10 repair
damages. After this tho Judge will
clean his fues with q brush fastened to
a clothes prop.-Mdr Addr.

0nIy q Mistake.


A young man in the town, who parts
his hair in the centre, says the Cincin'
natl Eagdrer, is said to have made a
slight mistake at the opcra last night.
In order to obtain u clearer perception
OF a high note hs reached in his coat
tail pocket and brought forth what he
thought was m o~pera-glass, but what
indeed proved to be q revised compila-
ton Of Deringer. People In his imne-
date vicinity were surprised and some
what frightened to see him elevate the
ordnance TO his eyes and s~teadfastly
gaze down into its dark caverns OF death.
II was, upon first impression, thought
to be cool. deliberately planned suicide,
but when he quietly put II back in his
pocket and brought tho real article into
requisition, the horror melted from bo-
fore his eyes, and II became apparent
that Is was only n mistake after all. A
few hairs, whose beat lay on the lar
board side Of the young mans skull,
had by soma mean gotten on the star
board side. Hence tho slight alteration
OF mind.

This company are pushing work

We have seen o specimen OF ore taken
out q few days ago. weighing about

Of silver and iron pyritss iutermiIed.
Tho black sulphurets OF silver indicate
that ut q depth down an incline which Is
being run now from the foot-wall, the

this large boulder OF ore was taken out,
a solid mass OF black heavy ore fully
TIVE feet wide is now being worked and
the quality and quantity increases in
this particular location. The average
assays from several OF the most COM
petent assayers run over 500 to the
ton. They have now ON q separate dump
about sixty tons OF this first quality OF
ore. which will be reduced 10 bullion
probably before the first Of January.
They are awaiting for the McGlsw fur
mace to start up, and II is the intention
Of both the Paymaster and Golden
Fleece-the two principal companies in
Psavins Mining District-to start
in the moment the mill is put in
condition. which is expected to be ready
about the Esd or oath OF this month.

A SINGULAR and horrible accident took
place recently in q house in the Rue dss

married people. n. and Nine. Chal.
ban, who occupied the second floor Of
that house, were tho fortunate possess.
sors OF O fine infant two weeks old, and
also OF a pair OF splendid blue and scar
let parrots. Recently the young couple
quilted tho room for a short time, leav.
ing the child asleep in its cradle and the
two parrots sitting on their respective
perches. When they returned what was
their horror in beholding the parrots
perched upon the sides OF the cradle,
and engaged in tearing the face OF the
baby with their powerful beaks. The
father, in the first excess OF his fury and
distress, killed tho two birds, but ho wa
too late TO ave his child, who died In a
few hours from the wounds inflicted
upon 1t. II was a fortunate circum-
stance that II did not survive its In

destroyed. Jealousy Is supposed to have
been the motive that impsllsd the par
rots to this unusual act Of ferocity, as,
before tho birth Of the infant, they had
been much pettsd and caressed, and
since that time they had been compar.
atiyely neglected.

Tho Southern Nsoro.

Geo. O. Esslsston,, in his "a Rebels
Rscollsctions." Just finished in the A.
laniic Monihly. says:
When the mon Of the South were
nearly all in tho army. the negroes were
left in large bodies on the plantations,
with nobody to control them except the
women and q few old or inirm men.
They might have been insolent, insub-
ordinate II they had chosen. They
might have gained their freedom by as.
serting 1t. They might have overturned
tho social and political fabric ut any
time. and they knew all this, too. They
were intelligent enough to know that
there was no power on the plantations
capable Of resisting any movement they
might choose to make. They did know.
too, that the success Of the Federal
arms would give them freedom. The
fact was talked about everywhere, and
no effort was made " keep tho knowl-
edge OF II from them. They knew that
to assert their freedom was to give i'm
mediate success to tho Union cause.
Aud yet they remained quiet, faithful
and diligent throughout, very few OF
them giving trouble OF any sort,
even on plantations where only . few
IN remained to control them. The
reason for all this must be sought In the
negro character. and we Of the South,
knowing that character thoroughly,
trusted II implicitly. We left our homes
and our helpless ones in the Keeping Of
the Africans OF our households without
any hesitation whatever. The
negro Is constitutionally loyal to his OBJ
legations as no understands them, and
his attachments, both local aud personal
are uncommonly strong. He speedily
forgets IN injury, but never q kindness.
and so he was not likely to rise In arms
against the helpless women and children
whom he had known intimately, and
loved almost r%evcrentially from child
hood, however. strongly he desired the
freedom which q rising would secure to
him. And 10 throughout the
war they acted after their kind. waiting
for the issue with tho great, calm pa
thence which is their most universal
characteristic.
