Hot water Fish.

The following fish story comes from
the mining regions of the West and is
told in the Territorial. 1t is about
most singular discovery, as the editor
truly says, that was made in the mines
called the Savage, Hale and Norcross.
Living fish were found in water that
is now flooding those mines. The fish
found were five in number, and were
hoisted up the incline in the large iron
hoisting tank and dumped into the pump
tank at the bottom of the vertical shaft.
The fish are eyeless, and are only about
three or four inches in length. They
are blood red in color. t
The temperature of the water in which
they are found is one hundred and
twenty-eight degrees Fahrenheit-alm
scalding hot. When the fish were taken
out of the hot water in which they were
found, and placed in bucket of cold
water, for the purpose of being brought
to the surface, they died almost instantly.
The cold water at once chilled their life
blood.
In appearance these subterranean
members of the fnny tribe somewhat
resemble gold fish. They seem lively
and sportiye enough while In their ma
tive hot water, notwithstanding the fact
that they have no eyes nor even the
rudiments of eyes. The water by which
the mines are flooded broke in at a depth
of twenty-two hundred feet in drift
that was being pushed to the northward
in the Savage. 1t rose in the mine
| also in the Hale and Norcioss, the two
mines being connected-to the height
|, of four hundred feet; that is, up to the
eighteen hundred foot level. This would
seem to prove that great subterranean
reservoir. or lake had been tapped, and
from this lake, doubtless, came the fish
hoisted from the mine.
Eyeless fish arc frequently found in
the lakes of large caves, but we have
never before heard of their existence in
either surface or subterranean water the
temperature of which was so high as il
the water in these mines. The lower
workings of the Savage mine are fal
below the bed of the Carson river, below
the bottom Of the Washee Lake--below
any water running or standing anywhere
within distance of ten miles OF The
mine.

Reminiscences Of the Elder schurz.


The Chicago Inter- Ocean says that
Christian Schurz, the father of Senator
Carl Schurz, now of New York, and Mrs.
Edmund Jussen, of this city, died in
Monee, Will county, Illinois, on the 18th
of February. He was born In 1876, In
the small village of Duisdorf, in the
Rhenish Provinces of Germany. He
was a school-teacher in the village of
Liblar, near Cologne, where his son Carl
was born, and formed no exception to
the general rule which consigns the Ger
man teacher to life long poverty. But
in spite of his poverty he resolved to
give his son the best education then to
be obtained in that part of Germany.
The untiring energy and ambition of the
life of the elder Schurz in this direction
were truly remarkable. He compelled
his son Carl to walk almost daily dis
tance of nearly ten miles, when be was
still of very tender years, to take lessons
on the piano; and, when the boy had
reached the age of ten years. he per-
formed with great success at several con-
eerts,to the infinite satisfaction Of his
father. s-
At very early age Christian Schurz
placed his boy at the Gymnasium of
Cologne, one of the best educational in
stitutes in the Rhenish Provinces, and,
though he was poor, he managed to raise
funds to keep Carl at this school until
he passed an examination for admittance
to the University at Bonn.
Next door to the village home of Carl
oh fh<ara - fhnca mid 1oa
simple public halls which, on feast days,
served as ball room for the young peo-
pie of the village. Here was the first
theater of Carl Schurps eloquence. The
old gentleman used to conduct his son
Carl to this hall and place him on the
platform erected for the village musi-
clans, and command him to reciIe either
some composition of his own or to de-
claim the classic poems of Goethe and
Schiller. And while the shrill and boy
ish voice of the young student was re-
sounding through the room the old man,
solitary and alone, would pace up and
down before the improvised rostrum,
and sharply eriticise the youthful orator.
The revolution of 1S4S brought dark
hours of sorrow and grief to Christian
Schurz. A true republican at heart
himself, he was proud of the eminent
position which his son held among the
rebels. But the day came when Carl
was taken prisoner at Rastatt, and was
sentenced to be shot. He wrote to his
father a last farewell, and the grief
stricken old man at once started for
Rastatt to recover, if possible, the body
of his son. In tears, and staggering
under his terrible grief, he called on the
young commander of the Prussian gar
rison and demanded the remains of the
young martyr to liberty. His joy may
be imagined when he was told that Carl
had escaped from the fort the night be.
fore the morning fixed for his execution.
He returned home with light and joy
GUS heart, and did not see his son again
until he met him on the soil of the
United States in 1852. Since then the
old man has led a truly happy life. He
has lived for his birds and his flowers
and fairly reveled in the eyer-increasing
renown of his boy.

WE have heard of a great many mean
men, but here is one who towers above
ordinary folks as Mont Blanc among
surrounding hills. He went to church
regularly, for the religious instincts
seem not to have been entirely obliter-
ated; but he always sat in the very last
pew, the one nearest the door. Why ?
do you ask. Well, because by so doing
he saved the interest on his money until
the contribution box reached him.
