The Depth of Mining Shafts.

Twenty years ago the deepest mining
shafts in the world reached only about
1000 feet below the surface. The very
deepest, we believe, was Il mctalIilcrorIs
mint IN Hanover, which had been carried
down to the depth Of 900 feet. The
deepest perpendicular shaft to day is the
Adalbcrt shaft in u silycr-lcad mine in
PriHibram, in Bohemia, which has reached
Il depth of $3.50 feet. The attainment
of that depth was made the occasion of a
three days festival, and still further no.
ticcd by the striking off Off large num-
Der of commemorative silver medals of
a form each. There is no record of the
beginning of work on this mine, although
its written history goes back to 1877.
Quite recently an elegant commemo,a-
tive volume has been written and printed,
which is most interesting to those who
have Il taste for either the actualities or
antiquities of mining industry. There
are two ether localities, however, where
agrcatcr depth has been reached than at
the Adalbert shaft, but not in a perpen-
diCular line. These are /. The Rock
salt bore hole, near Spcrenburg, not far
from Berlin, which n f1w years ago had
been bored to a depth of 4,l75 feet. 9.
The coal mines Of Viviers Remus, in
Belgium, where the miners by,,shaft.sink-
ing, together with boring, have reached
a total depth OF 3,5I2 feet. Turning from
these two mines, no shaft in unbroken
perpendicular line has as yet exceeded
the depth of $3.50 feet. Although the
depth to which the shafts enumerated
have penetrated into the interior of the
earth in the art and practice of mining
may appear mighty, and may be an cx.
prcssive witness of the great progress
made in mining pursuits, yet on the
other hand, the above results may be
considered insigniiicantly small when
we compare them with the extent of the
carth's crust and the diameter of the
earth. The deepest bOrchole in the world
Is the artisan spring at Pottsdam, in
Missouri, which reaches Il depth of $500
feet.

still remains the object of your curiosity,

subjccting himself TO no law of civiliza-
tion, %contending determinedly against
all efforts to win him from his chosen
mode of life. lie stands in the group
of races solitary and reserved, seeking
alliance with none, diStrusting all. Civil
l~izltiUn may do much for him, but he
can never be civilized. Nature intended
him for Il savage every instinct, every
impulse Of his soul i%nclincs to it. The
white race might fall into n barbarous
state, and afterward he reclaimed and

The Chances Of Hayes Electl on

No news has been received which war
rant the slightest change in our table Of
States which have cast their votes for the
Republican candidates. Dispatches from
Democratic sources all but give up South
Carolina by reducing the claims for Til.
den's majority to about 100. The pre-
pOsterous absurdisy Of figuring like this
on returns which have not been received,
is too obvious for comment, South
Carolina will probably be given up by
the Democrats in their next dispatch.
The State has never been doubtful on the
basis OF returns actually received
and Democratic papers have never
honestly d believed that; II vas.
Florida remains where II did
certain, according to trustworthy re-
turns, for the Republicans. Inregard to
Louisiana the same fabricated returns
are given out which have been current
during the last day or two. The nature
Of these can be judged Of from the fact
that Democratic majority OF 4,046 is
claimed from the parishes Of Ayoyelles,
East and West Feliciana, Morehouse and
ouachita, whic h gave in 1874 a Republi-
can majorityofS ZOE, and in 1879 q major
ity oi4,144. The seven parishes set down
as Estimated" cannot by any poss ibil-
ity have been heard from at all. On fair
and free election, Louisiana is good for a
majority OF 10000. There is
no evidence whatever that Democratic
and intimidation have reduced
the natural majority Of the State below
