Wonderful Retention of Heat.

The following statement is from the
Virginia (Nevada) Enterprise of April

shaft of the Belcher mine, then COM
pleted to the 1000 foot level, took fire
and was destroyed. The timbers of the
shaft all burned out, and the rock fell in
and blocked it up. After deliberation, it
cheaper to sink n new shaft than to try
to clear up the old one, so badly were its
sides caved, and so great was the quantity
of rock that had tumbled into it. The
new shaft was sunk short distance to
the west of the old one. 1t has now
reached point to the 1000 foot level,
where it will be continued down on an
incline. The incline was started mt the
1,000-foot level, and carried up to meet
the vertical portion of the shaft. The
course of this incline carried it through
the remains of the old vertical shaft, but
as it was tapped the men found they
could do nothing in it on account of the
ashes, burned earth, and rocks that
poured down into their incline. A tun-
mel was then run until it had reached a
point short distance west of the old
shaft, when vertical upraise was made
to the line of the proposed incline to be
run up to meet the new shaft. The men
then began working down on the incline
in order to reach the point from which
they were driven in trying to come up.
They have succeeded in getting into the
bottom of the old shaft, where, much to
their surprise, they find the rock still red
hot. In trying to put in timbers they
were set on fire, and in order to wosk at
all it is found necessary to bring a line
of hose into the place and play stream
of water upon the rocks wedged in the
bottom of the old shaft. There is no tim
Der on fire among the rocks. They seem
to have been heated to degree so in
tense at the time of the fire that they
have remained red-hot ever since. Near
ly three years after the great fire in the
Yellow Jacket Mine places were found in
the lower levels where the rock was still

man fell back in Ne stiffness of death.
All this time the murderer's hand had
been upon his throat, and no distinct cry
had escaped his lips.
An hour later, the murderer, having
noiselessly let himself out was at his ho-
tel. Here he changed his clothing,
burned his linen, carefully removed the
blood stains from his outer garments,
and then actually lay down and slept
peacefully until nearly noon. In fact,
Us he told me, he had barely time to
make his arrangements and arrive Mt the
steamer before the hour for departure.
I" But this was his last peaceful sleep.
The stings of conscience had been more
than he could bear. He had reached
London; but, after lying i'll long time
in that city, had seen in a New York pa
per the account of the arrest and indict-
ment of Roberts, for the crime he had
himself committed, and determined to
return, and if possible save him. OF
course, we had a long consultation. l
did not let my new client leave me; but
after he was safe for the night, sat and
pondered the matter, for / found myself
placed in most trying position.
"Next day L appeared in court, and /
afterward knew, to my cost, that as
tonished and surprised the audience, and
all concerned, by the wildness of my
opening speech. No one can imagine
with what trembling solicitude watched
the course of the trial. L had contrlved
all in my power to give it a favorable
turn, and was more than pleased to see
that some evidence was elected on the
part of the defense which went clearly to
invalidate the charge.
"After a trial of four days-days of
intense anxiety to me, the murderer,
whose pallid face and burning eyes
haunted me continually as he sat in
court and to his friends-the case went
to the jury. Twenty-four hours were
passed before their verdict was rendered,
and / know that the words not guilty
were not more welcome to poor Roberts
than to myself. He was acquitted and
discharged. The nine days wonder
passed, but even now the profession of
ten talk of the manner / managed the
prosecution, and pronounce that my lem
iency alone saved Roberts and defeated
the ends of Justice. Doubtless the first
is true. But the ends of justice We're de-
feated by the compulsory secret 1 have
borne with me ever since-my knowledge
of the true murderer"
"Andwhat became of him., questioned
the doctor, breaking silence for the first
time since the commencement of the
tale.

WHO MURDERED HIM!

Two gentlemen sat slipping their wine
after dinner, and talking in the leisurely,
disconnected way which, together with
their attitudes, showed that they both
were taking mental as well as bodily rest
after the labors of the day. They were
representatives of two of the learned
professions, each a man of mark III his
calling, the one tall, strongly-built, with
"A massive head and thoughtful and
benevolent aspect; the other much
smaller, wiry, agile, with keen, marked
features-a man evidently profound as
well as astute, and though not handsome,
one calculated to arrest attention, wher-
ever encountered.
The first was distinguished physi-
clan, the other an equally distinguished
lawyer. The physicians investigation
and testimony as an expert had been
procured in a case just closed, in which
his legal friend was the prosecuting
attorney. The labors of both had been
arduous, and neither was averse to the
rest and qlietude which the close of the
trial made possible to them. They were,
and had long been, warm personal
friends, and were now dining together
at the lawyers rooms, and indulging in
the easy converse, broken by long
.silences, which their familiar friendli-
ness warranted.
The case had been decided against the
prosecution, the jury, after not more
than half an hours absence, bringing in
verdict Of not guilty, which had been
received with cheers and other express
sions of appreciation by the closely
crowded audience which had listened to
the closing scenes of the trial, and many
of the persons composing which had
attended day after day through its entire
continuance

An American Surgeon. General i'm Egypt.

The appointment of DIR. Cornelius
Falling Brown to the position of Surgeon
General of the armies of the Khedive of
Egypt, with an annual salary of $1,000,
and a valuable outfit, has elected much
surprise to the Doctors old friends and
acquaintance in Niles, Mich. Some
five years ago two young men from Chi
cago took up their habitation in that
town, and, purchasing a stock of dry
goods, flung to the breeze the euphonious
firm name of Brown & Copeland. The
senior member of the firm, Cornelius
known, "Corney Brown" was not then
OF age. He was a pale, but not intel
lectual-looking youth, a college graduate,
but man of apparently no positive
force in any direction. Most of the
time of the members of the firm was
taken up in buggy riding and other such
innocent pleasures, to the neglect of
business, and soon the stock of goods
ran down, and the remnants were finally
taken to one of the lake shore villages,
when the senior member of the firm re-
turned to Chicago, and subsequently led
to the hymeneal altar one of that city's
fairest bellies, the daughter of well
known medical professor. The bride
and groom, accompanied by the brides
mother and several letters of introduction
and of credit, took in Europe on their
bridal tour. Soon the parties returned
from Europe, the bride and her mother
to their former home, and the groom to
parts unknown. The bride, securing
divorce, has since been welded to an
other.
1t now transpires, however, that after
young Browns return from his European
bridal tour he turned his attention to the
study of medicine, and has been APP
poll ted Surgeon-General of the armies
of the Khedive of Egypt, with a salary
of 81, 900 in gold, and was furnished an
outfit of 500. The young, and the
world will say the fortunate, doctor sailed
for his new field of labor some time ago,
accompanied by his mother.-7otedo

Dutch Patience.

There is no field of human enterprise
in which their success has not been at
one time or another notable. At the
bottom of it all, apparently at the bottom
of the character on which their success
has been founded, we find their tradi-
tional jealousy of every acre of water which
covers good land. Neglecting the poorer
lands, they have dived into the fertile
deposits lying under water and peat, and
sought there wealth that no other
soil can equal. Seeking this they have be-
come patient, long enduring, sturdy, hardy
and resolute. If lake is to be drained
they sit quietly down and count the cost,
and then devise the means for the most
effectual performance of the work this
done, the undertaking proceeds with the
regularity and the persistence of the
work of ants. If obstacles cannot be
made auxiliaries they are overcome.
The clamors of dissatisfied people are
idle, not rs the wind-for the wind is
not idle in Holland-but they pass I'M
needed, and steadily, day by day, the
toiling goes on until the end is gained,
and new territory has been added to
the earth's domain. Waring, in

THERE was grand battle among the
Chinese residents of Virginia City, Ne.
vada, recently. The trouble opened with
a slight skirmish between two small par
ties of the contending factions, and this
aroused the warriors in all parts of the
town, who, with revolvers in their hands,
rushed to the scene of the conflict.
Then the fight ragged on all sides, and
one hundred shots were fired. Bullets
shattered windows, splintered fences and
awning posts, and lodged in the sides OF
the houses; but not one hit human
mark. One fellow got a bullet through
the crown of his hat, and he is consid-
cred the big warrior of the Flowery
Kingdom. Generally there was no aim
taken, the report seeming to satisfy the
Celestial thirst for blood.

brief visit last year. Mr.. Charles Temp

this accounts, perhaps, for his delay in
seeking the perquisite of his kinship Also,
he may have spent some of the intervening
time in looking through the registers and
over the map to find proper place. .a.i
He has now, however, made choice,

added that, under the rule of Mr.. Shep.
