New York, Nov. 29.-Chas. O'Con-
nor is lying dangerously i'll at his
residence, Fort Washington. Prayers
for his speedy recovery or happy
death, were offered in the Catholic
churches yesterday and to-day.

A letter from Wilkesbarre, Penn,
states that the most extensive and
serious mining casualties ever known
in Wyoming Valley. occurred at the
Chauncey and Grand Tunnel mines,
between Plymouth and Nanticoake,
about two and a half miles south of
the former place. About two weeks
ago Mr.. Roberts, one of the proprIe-
tors of the Chauncey Mines, noticed
that the roof opening was working in
most extraordinary manner, and
was convinced that the mine was
doomed to certain calamity. About
ii O'Clock on the morning of the 10th
inst, he gave orders for the men to
leave the mine as soon as possible and
remove as much of the Company's
property as could be taken on the spur
of the moment. The miners, to the
number of lbs, left at II O'Clock, taking
with them the implements of their
calling, and two hours later the mine
caved in. The effects of the cave were
terrific; huge boulders were thrown
out of the mouth of the tunnel by the
compressed air, as If they had been
pebbles, and the shock of the crash
was like an earthquake.
A dispatch from Fort Washington

js dead and says that he is improving.

the confidence OF the Sisters of Charity
in charge that, after an unusually short
period Of probation she was allowed the
run of the prison without being
watched. Awaiting herself of this priv
ilege she slipped into one Of the sisters
cells, and, speedily dressing herself in
the costume of a nun, walking straight
out into the street, the wardens sa'
luting her as she passed. She was not
missed till three hours after her escape,
and the efforts of the police to appre-
bend her have hitherto been u~nsuccess-
full. Being well known 10 her country
men of the light fingered fraternity
domiciled in Paris, it is supposed that
their gallsntry has found means to send
her to London.

Nothing is more strange than the re-
production of old thoughts under the
guise of new and advanced opinions,
1t would seem as if the human mind.
with all its restless activity, was destined
to ~revolve in an endl IS circle. Its pro-
gress is marked by many changes and
discoveries; it sees and understands far
more clearly what lies along the line Of
its route, and the modes or law undet
which these facts occur; but this route
in its higher levels always returns upon
itself. Nature and all its secrets become
better known, and the powers OF nature
are brought more under human control;
but the sources of nature aud life and
thought-all the ultimate problems
of being-never become more clearly
ineligible. Not only so, but the
last efforts of human reasoning on these
subjects are even as the first. Differing
in form, aud ever sometimes not greatly
in form, they are In substance the same.
Bold as the course Of scientific adven-
ture has seemed for a time, it ends very
much as it began; and men of the nine
teenth century look wei the same
abysses of speculation as did their fore
fathers thousands of years before. No
philosophy of theism can be said to have
advanced beyond the book Of job; and
Professor Tyndall, addressing the world
from the throne Of modern science
which the chair of the British Associa-
ton ought to be-repeats the thoughts Of
Democritus aud Epicurus, as the best
guesses of the modern scientific mind.
