Horrible Death.

On Wednesday of last week, says a
Clyde letter In the Rochester Democrat,
one of those horrible accidents that hap
pen only once in hundreds of years, and
by which a human being is unexpect-
edly, in the twinkling of an eye, hurried
into eternity, occurred on the farm of
the Widow Kettles, in the town of
Junius, few miles south of here. Par
ties were engaged in threshing grain, land
at the time of the accident were thresh-
ing loose oats, and Theodore Bodine was
feeding the machine. In some unex-
planned way a coil of fence wire had been
brought in with the grain, and, unseen
by the pitcher, was pitched upon the
platform and showed into the machine
with the oats. One end of the coil was
caught by the rapidly revolving cylinder,
and the other end, in a very mysterious
way, wound around Mr.. Bodine's neck,
and in a shorter space of time than it is
possible for one to conceive, the unfor-
tunate mans head was drawn into the
machine, torn into atoms and carried out
with the straw, while portions of the
brains passed through the separator and
came out of the spout below with the
grain. It was some time before the
other workmen realized the nature of
the dreadful accident. Mr.. Bodine was
seen leaning over the platform in front
of him, but his position being somewhat
elevated, it was not discovered that his
head was in the machine, and it was only
when blood and brains we're seen coming
out of the spout with the threshed grain
that the man attending to that part of
the work called the attention of the
others to the fact that something awful
had taken place. We understand the
unfortunate man leaves a wife and two
children to mourn his terrible death.

On the whole, we regard it as fortunate
that the Indians were SO orltrpgeously
exorbitant in their demands for if they
had come anywhere within the neighbor-
hood of the Commissioners offer we
fear the. barter would have been made,
and at least Sc, 100000 in money, if not
more, would have been thrown away, in
addition to the enormous expenses already
incurred for exploring. Prof. 'Jenney's
mature judgment, after a patient and
laborious exploration OF the territory, is,
that the Black Hills are not worth more
than S500,G00 for purchase outright.
That is, an individual or company desir-
ing exclusive privileges for mining might
possibly make it pay after purchasing at
that rate. The Government Commits
sioners eff red twelve times that amount
simply as an indncement for the Indians
to move little further back into coun-
try much better suited to their purposes.

A Oleer Railroad.

There has just been completed one of
the most crooked and costly railroads in
the United States. 1t is callel the Tahoe
and Carson Narrow Gauge. The road
bed runs along the lake for about a
mile, until it reaches huge gorge in the
mountains, up this dark and uninviting
canon, through long cuts in the solid
granite, over high trestles runs the track
until after attaining an altitude of some
thousand feet it reaches the summit of a
giant mountain. To most civil engineers
this peak would be an obstacle unim-
passable not SO with Mr.. Anderson, the
company's very skillful surveyor. The
summit of that peak had to be reached,
and if the grade was too heavy up an
angle of less than As degrees, there was
still another way to attain the summit,
and that was a zig-zag road In the shape
of the letter z, piled one on another
across the face of the old bald mountain,
and then, instead of turning curve,
rams its catcher into corner of the z,
and backing out and up the grade, con-
tinues in that manner until the summit
is reached, distanceof seven and half
miles from Flenbpook. From there
across fertile little valley which crowns
the summit, the road runs past Spooner's
Station, a relic of the ante-railroad days,
situated on the old Placerville freight
road to Sacramento. Through tunnel
48O feet long pushes the road until a
short distance beyond it reaches the
fume station.--SGn Francisco Ledger.

Sentimentality.

Sentimentality is an element of dlsln-
tegration in every work of art into which
it is permitted to enter. If the books OF
the Bible had not been free from it, they
would not have lasted till this day. No
piece of sentimental writing has come
down to us from the far past and no
work of literary or other art of our own
day, no matter how wide its present
vogue, can exist long if it has this poison
in its blood. It is truth that lives, not
falsehood. We may look with keen re-
greet upon the fading away of regulations
dear to us !; we may deprecate the les
SEEMING acceptance, both with ourselves
and others, of some contemp oraneous
book which had lesson for us-that
once held us by charm not altogether
sentimental but the law is memorable.
The instances which viii occur to the
reader of works in which there is the
sentimental quality, but which still have
held their own quite well, and promise
q longer life than is consistent with the
foregoing remarks-these apparent ex-
captions may possibly prove the rule,
for it may be in spite of their sentimen-
tality, and by reason of other vital and
overpowering qualities, that they retain
the consideration of mankind. The
poison, then, is mere surface matter-
it has not entered the blood. -Scribgser
for NOvenaber.

BLACK Hills ROmancing.

AS an Eldorado the Black Hills coun-
try has not proved a success. The only
paying thing about it, as near as we can
discover, is sthe price which the Indians
had the effrontery to demand for ces-
sion Of their rights. There was one
other feature which came very near being
fabulous, and that was the price which
the Government Commissioners offered
them. The Indians wanted $40, 900, 900,
and the Commissioners offered Sc, 900,
900: one was little more out Of the way
than the other, but notmuch. The gov
eminent might just about as reasonably
pay the Indians $40, 900, 900 for the ces-
sion of exclusive privileges granted by
the government, of no value to them, IN
exchange for other exclusive privileges,
as to pay $6,OOO,OO0 for this exchange.

The Duration of Life.

The following facts on the duration of
life appear in the DeutSche VorSicbtauegS
ZeitaGag: In ancient Rome, during the
period between the years 200 and 300
A. D., the average duration of life
among the upper classes was 30 years.
In the present century among the same
classes of people, it amounts to SO years.
In the sixteenth century the mean dura-
ton of life in Geneva was a. 81 years !;
between 1914 and 1888 it was 4068,
years; and at the presenU time as many
people live to 20 years of age as 300
years ago lived to the age of 49,

A PIECE of property near Bloomington,

a PIECE OF property neaf bloomington,
H., was transmitted in peculiar way by
recent decision of Judge Upton. A
lady, dying, left it to her daughter; the
father married again, and on June 2,
1874. the girl died; on June 20, 1874, a
son was born to the father by his second
wife. The question was whether the
girls inheritance reverted wholly to her
father, or whether, under the statute, the
half-brother was entitled to the estate.
1t was decided that the half-brother par
took of the inheritance, even though
eighteen days elapsed between the time
of the girls death and his birth.

act according to their own generos-

Gently speak, ~ d softly tread,
For our darling ones lie dead.

With the curls npon their brow;
Beautiful in life they seemed,
Lovely, Oh thrice lovely, now;
Can it be ,hat death so soon
Called away our darling ones 3?
Yes. Their brows are marble cold
flushed the music of their voice
Nevermore with song to make
Every heart that hears rcjol-c--
Yet their songs in Heaven will be
From all earthly passion free
Oh twas hard to give them up;

How we struggled with our woe;
But the Savior heard our prayer,
He gave us s,rng b our grief to bear

near Linden. We DO not know
how great the surprise was; bat we
have an idea how great was the
coldness, for, although the party did
not have tip-over, they had a
turnout that blasted many fond
hopes and cooled many warm
wishes. After reloading, and End
