A Ball Down in the Silver Mine

browning festival of all festivals, where
Joy was unconfined." we ever did At

large chamber 500 feet from the surface

the mouth Of the Marshall tunnel, on
Wednesday October 18th. 1875. We
never saw any public or private party
20 brilliant in all its appointments and
SO full OF solid enjoyment and real
pleasure "a was the assembly in The
subierrancan chamber on No. 3 lode.
Never before in any country on earth
did 80 many Intelligent men and beauti-
ful aud accomplished women meet In
the heart OF a mountain 10 celebrate an
event 30 full OF significance 10 the min

From early morn till the high moon
of night. the road leading from George
town TO the Marshall tunnel was lined
with carriages. horsemen and prdeetrl-

lovely beyond description. The noun

The tunnel and chamber were brilliant
ly illuminated. The walls of the cham
Der were decorated with flags and ban
ners. The spectacle looking out Of the
tunnel from a point opposite the cham
Der. was impressive and picturesque.
The waving light of hundreds Of can
dies placed on either side of the floor
OF the tunnel. with the glare of sun
slime at its mouth, was a scene worthy
the pencil OF the artist. And then
music was heard for the first time deep
down in the mines. Gordon's string
band struck M some lively airs that had
a musical effect on every one present.
Away went stately danes and virgins
tair with their lords of creation into the
merry dance. and thus the festivities
of great event in
affairs were fully inaugurated.
An ample lunch, with hot coffee and
lemonade. was prcprred by some one.

STRIKES

There has been too much Of this
business done in every part OF the
conntry, especially in the North it
has been Of late quite over done, and
the heavy stone the strikers were
combining to roll up the hill is recoil-
ing upon themselves. This work is
really working iddleness and ruin
II is better to be content with fair
wages and constant work. We learn
shasthis bad example is being follow
Cd here in the South, snd that the
Section hands between Branchvillc
and Columbia are on strike for
higher pay, it is quite q question how
ever about their gaining anything in
tl.a operation.
we are in favor Of strikes against
the use Of tobacco and wlliiiskkcy, and and
al! kinds of intemperance and extrav-
snce. Anincrease of wealth does not
depend 30 much on what we earn as
%bat NC save. From the first, not
6neof thc agitators for more, wages
and fewer hours Of work has intimatcd
thgt among themselves there was any
tiling to be changed-any habits to
he improved, any effort Whatever to
be made for better way Of life, eN-
cept to obtain more pay for fewer
hours work. The leaders OF the work
ingmen's movement are blin'l TO the
simplest principles Of domestic and
political economy. There has been
noindication whatever by them that
they know that IN improved condition
depends not less upon savings than
on earnings.
The worlingmcn, if they wish to
better their way Of life, must do it as
all others must--that is, begin at
home. they cotinue to spend their
earnings tloughtlessly as most OF
them do, they must always be poor
no matter what their wages may be.
In this country the workingmen may
always, as q body improve their con
d:tion and attain q position of COM
petcnce, comfort, and respect, if they
will observe the conditions that are
absolutely necessary 10 that end-the
conditions by which only others have
risen to such positions and by which
they also maintain them.
Applause is the spur Of noble
minds the endand aim Of weak ones.

ABOUT EATING.

"Do not 90 to bed when you are hungry"
says one phys i'm, while another counsels
an opposite course but tn, following ad-
vice seems reasonable. Eating hearty
meal at the close of the day is like giving
a hhoring man l full days work to 10 just
as night sets in although he has been toll
ing all day. The whole boly is fatisucd
when night sets in, the stomach takes it's
due share, and to elt hearty at supper and
then go to bed is giving al the other por-
tions and functions of the bo o1y rcpose,
while the stomach has thrown upon it four
or five hours more of additional work, after
having already laborei four or five hours
to dispose of breakfast, and still longer
time for dinner This ten or twelve hours
of almost incessant work has nearly ex-
hausted its power; it clnnot promptly di-
gest another fall meal, but labors at it for
long hours together, like an exhausted gall
ley-slave on a newly imposed task. Had
it voice, it might 'strike;' lacking it, the
duty is silently performed. The result
is that by the unnatural length of time
which the food is kept IN the stomach, and
the imperfect manner in which the ex-
hausted organ manages it, it becomes
more or less acid; this generates wind, this
distcnds the stomach this presses up it.
self against the more yielding lungs, con-
fining them to 4 largely diminished space
hence every breath taken is insufficient for
the wants Of the system, the blood becomes
foul, black, and thick, refuses to flow, and
the man dies, or in dclirium or fright leaps
from a window, OF commits suicide. Let
any reader who follows IN inactive life for
the most part, try the experiment for
week Of eating absolutely nothing after
a one or two clock dinner, AMI see if
sounder sleep and q vigorous appetite for
breakfast and Il hearty dinner are not the
pleasurable results, to say nothing of the
happy deliverance from that disagr, lble
fullness, weight, oppression, or acidity
which attends overeating. The great rem
ovating and vivacity which u long, deli
cious, and connecting sleep imparts. both
to mind and body, will of themselves more
than compensate for the certainly short
and rather dubious pleasure of eating a
supper with no special relish.

The PRoDUCTloN OF ARSENIC IN COPPER
MINEs.-In 1878 $40 tons of arsenic were
produced in England. More than q third
of it came from the Devon Great Consols
mine. Sometimes 200 tons Il month are
sold from this mine, quantity of white
arsenic sufficient to destroy the lives of
more than 5OO,OOO,O0O of human beings.
The Commissioners of Mines saw, stored i'll
the warehouses, of the mine, ready packed
for sale, a quantity Of white arsenic proba-
bly, sufficient todestroy every living animal
upon the face of the earth. The Commits
sioners consider that, i'll the case of mines
in which arsenic is actually manufactured,
it is only reasonable that the manufacture
of poison SO virulent should be subject to
special state supervision; and they submit
that an officer should be empowered to re-
quire that the best practicable means be
taken not only to prevent the poisoning of
the air by the voIatHzation of the arsenic,
but also to hindef(tfle access of the poison
to running water.
