"TOILERS OF THE DEEP"

A brief dispatch brings to us the
narrowing tale that one hundred and
sixty-six miners have persisted in
Belgian coal mine from fire-damp.
This loss Of life is horrible to con-
template, and brings to mind
similar catastrophe which occurred
in some Of our prominent mines
few years ago. 1t appears that not
withstanding all precautions such
calamities will occur, and the miner
who delves in the subteranean
chambers OF the earth is q drawer
man than he who marches into bat
tie. He has no wild enthusiasm to
fire him; no strains of martial
music to inspire him with courage;
no plaudits to greet his return, or
greatful country to reward his
efforts. He may have q wife and
children-in the cid country it is
generally so-and they are the only
impetus to his dangerous vocation.
The last smile at the door, the
childish good-by of his little ones,
invoke such q love in his honest
heart that the danger seems less,
and he walks in its midst with .
noble consciousness, q fearless
pride in his labor, that never
brightens the soldiers life. These
mon will soon be returned to earth:
not in her depths where the fire.
damp turks; where huge masses OF
earrn may crush; not where hidden
reservoirs may burst forth to
quench his life, but to the narrow
cell she now gives him, where there
is no danger; she at last holds him
in her arms while he sleeps the
sleep of peace. After such &C.
cidents dire suffering must follow;
the support is gone; the arm that
earned the bread Of life is power
less, and widows tears and orphans
cries do not always win the sympa-
thy that gives to the poor. 1t ap-
pears to us that some law should
govern largo corporations, or that a
certain amount be given each month
to fund for the support or assist
ance Of widows and orphans OF
mines who have persisted in their
work. Poverty is the greatest
enemy known to public morality,
and often the fearful farewell on the
graves threshold is a knell to hope,
peace. happiness and virtue.

GOLD in COLORADO.

From . Colorado exchange we
learn of some important discoveries
being made in that Territory near
Manitou, in the vicinity of Colorado
Springs. The Legal tender silver lode
on North Cheyenne Greek yields
about $50 per ton in silver and in
creases in richness as depth is at
tanned. This mine led to further
prospecting which resulted in the
discovery by DIR. N. S. Culver Of a
rich lode, called by him the ute
Pass Lode" and is located in Iron
Springs Canyon. The assays from
the rock average $50 to $110 in
gold, showing very little silver. This
find also led to more prospecting,
and Major McAllister and Mr.. W. B.
Sherman (brother to Charley and
jack, old residents of this place. },
were tho next fortunate men and
made their location about one-fourth
of q mile northeast of the Culver
mine. It is q surface deposit of fine
grain quartz of a red color. How
far under the ground it extends from
the point of discovery is not known.
Pieces Of quartz assay from "a to
$50 per ton in gold, with trile Of
silver. The mine is so located that
il can be worked at cost of not over
a per ton. Major McAllister and
Mr., Sherman have located seven
claims, the ore on which in sight above
ground has been estimated to con-
tain, at $40 per ton, over $780,
100000 in gold. We are informed
that 20 sure are the owners of these
claims Of the value of their discovery
that . 40 stamp mill is now on the
way there aud will be located at
Msnitou ON arrival. The excitement
has been intense. The hills from
Msnitou to Glen Eyrie are dotted
with eager, cropping, picking" hu-
man beings, all in search of the
precious metals. Recently there
were over five hundred people 80 en-
gagged in the day time, and at night
hundreds of lanterns may be seen
sparkling and fitting along from
place to place over the hills. Up to
this time the ground has been staked
of by claimants all the way from the
point of discovery to Glen Eyrie,
over 800 acres having already been
staksd of. Many other mines have
been sampled and yielded satisfac-
torily. We wish them all possible.
success and hope the golden dream
of Pixies Peak may at last be real
lied.

SNAKEs.-The Eureka sentinel
tells a snake story which we think
entities the editor to the first prize.
1t is to the effect that while two men
were sinking shaft, at the depth of
twelve feet they found it necessary
to put in a blast, which exploding
opened small cave of four or five
feet, in which they discovered seven
teen rattlesnakes. Rather unconge-
NAL companions to meet in the bot
tom of shaft, but being winter they
were in a dormant condition. No
passage to these serpents' tabernacle
from the surface could be discovered,
although subjected to the most dill
gent search. How did they get there
is the question that agitates the phil
osopher of Eureka. 1t would be un-
kind to think the editor had been ex-
| aiming a pair of his old boots, still,

EDITORIAL NOTES.

We commend the course pursued
by Justice Dyckman, of New York,
regarding the writ of habeas corpus
in the Stokes case, and believe it
will meet with universal approval.
The penalty awarded the prisoner
was ridiculously made-quite to his
offense, and there is no good. much
less legal reason, why he should be
pardoned. 1t is seldom that any
crime is justly punished, and when
conviction is obtained it should be
vigorously executed.
We are of the opinion that there
exists q great similarity between
the Beecher case and our State
Prison muddle. The more it is
stirred up. the blacker and nastier
it becomes. They are both dis
graceful, and serve to lessen ones
faith in human nature, for from the
salvation of Beecher souls, to the
manufacture of State Prison soles,
it is but step, and that step is
down in proportion to the elevation
of the parties. Both cause much
hard swearing: for while the former
results in eternal damnation, the
latter causes everlasting damning.
WORLDS ALMANAC.-We are IN
receipt of the almanac yearly issued
by the New York World" 1t is
probably the best published con-
tanning the most correct astronom-
zeal calculations and calendars for
every quarter of the United States.
Its records of the important events
of 1875, are very full and complete;
its political record is also valuable
for referenie. 1t gives the full elec-
ton returns by geographical divis-
ions; also our diplomatic relations
with other countries, who represent
them at our National Capital, and
who represent us at theirs ; the
names of the members Of Congress
and the Senate and their political
complexion the most important
laws regarding postage and other
matters of importance which will
daily interest the intelligent
reader. The "World" is in itself q
valuable paper, welding power
full influence in its party.

the ground with a muskct, for We found below
him on the sill to the vestry door and 10 the
ground the holes made by the bucksbot. AS
we picked him up the broken bones grated to-
gether, though he was at the time twelve hours
dead.
Mr.. Whitaker met with a worse fate, for he
was brought in alive, suffering teariully. from
buckshot through his stomach, and huge hacks
of flesh taken cut of him by an axe or hatchet.
lIachicottc was the first man killed. lie may
have been, but he first shot poor Whitaker Ia
