accident happened last Thursday.
His father yesterday gave us the iuil
particulars. II WAS three-tyned
f,rk, and the tynes drove through
his abdomen just below his stomach.
Two ,ynes passed clear through,
coming out of his back the third
struck his spine and broke off, lesv-
ing about three inches of it pralru-
ding from his aldo en-. The first
person who reached his side drew
this tyne ou'. He was carried home,
his friends expecting every moment
that he would expire but since the
accident he has complained very ill.,

Popularity Of English Journalism

There is a popularity about English
journalism which distinguishes it more
than anything else from the press Of other
countries. The editor of an English paper,
notwithstanding the unlimited power he
possesses in conducting his journal, is very
| countries the name of the editor is either
| printed on the paper or is known by all its
| readers, even If it is not daily inserted
right under the title of the paper. In
America, as we'll as on the Continent of
Europe, the. pnblic always wish to know
which they select as their advisor and pur-
veyOr of daily news. In England on the
contrary, nine men of ten do not know even
as much as the name of the editor of their
daily paper.
One of the consequences of this state of
affairs is that you frequently see Radical
conducting Conservative paper or writ
ing for il, aud staunch Tory supplying
leadiog articles for an ultra Liberal paper.
The individuality of a journalist is thus
completely etfaced aud all responsibility
for Inconsistency of political opinions is
taken off of the inurnaist's shoulders.
TOjndge by the London Times the Eng
lish pubic rather likes this readiness of the
English journalist to change his views at
any given moment. AT all events, the
organ of the city of London is, politically
speaking, probably the most Inconsistent
paper in the world, yet it is the most pros
porous and the most influential. Its etaff
is composed of men of all political colers
bnt none of them would ever thiak of ex.
pressing his personal views. They have to
write in the tone prescribed by DR.. Delane
and Delane gets his keynote from the mass
of letters which daily reach him from every
part of England. An Englishman would
think himself quite wanting in his duty as
patriot, if he had not written at least four
or five times year q letter to the editor of
the Times on some subjects he might be ia
terested in OF familiar with. Hundreds of
these letters daily reach the Office in Printing
Square without ever being printed. but all
of them are read aud serve DE-. Delaue as
basis for his opinion of public sentiment
He has frequently said that he did not
know of better political aud social indi-
Gator than that which forms itself from the
views expressed by unknown
persons of all stations of life aud of all parts
of the country.

Stability Of Commercial Houses in Europe.

In England and on the Continent of Eu-
| rope there are mercantile and banking
| houses in active operation to day which
celebrated their centennial festivals Ion g be-
fore DETERMINATIONS of the American Union
| were laid. Only the other day, and as q
| consequence of the frantic and dishonest
speculations engendered in Germany by
the sudden flow into that country of the
French milliards, q banking house sus
pended ayments in Lubbock which had ex-
listed and done business in that pictures
que old Hanse town for more than three
hundred years under the same firm name.
This is believed to have been the very
oldest business house in Europe. But there
are firms in Amsterdam and in Bordeaux of
an antiquity hardly less imposing. The
publishing house of Firmin Didot in Paris,
as all the world knows, has been notable
among men from the early years of the
eighteenth century; aud there are hotels
in France as well in Germany which have
been kept up and have prospeged under
one ensign from the time of the Thirty
Years War. Over the doorway, indeed, of
one each inn, the Kaison Rouge, st Rheims,
an inscription reads that within it's walls
the father and mother of the Maid OF
Orleans found shelter and good fare with
the heroic Maid herself. daring the tri-
umphant coronation of CHARLES V. of
France. The most striking instance of this
numerical longevity in England perhaps

The French having just given up as i'm .
practicable their project of turning the Sa
hara into an inland sea. an American en-
gineer now warns the Russians that they
have no time to lose if they desire to pre-
vent their great inland sea, the Caspian,
from turning itself into q Sahara. This
gentleman, Mr.. Spalding, has just submit
ted to the Russian Government a remarka-
BILE report on the Caspian and the Black
seas, in which he maintains that the Cas-
plan is drying up and will slowly become a
desert, while the diminution of rain fall will
destroy the surrounding territories. & This,
he says, has already occurred in historic
times, whole countries having been desc
lated by the shrinkage of the Caspian. He
recommends that deep and broad cutting
should be made from the Caspian west,
ward, to q point where it would be q I've
metres below the level of the Black Sea,
and smaller cutting from that point to
the Back Sea. The water of the latter,
which ia fifteen metres higher than that of
the Caspian, would then cut deep and
broad channel for itself, and refill the Cas-
plan to its old level, giving, in fifty years,
straight ocean communication between the
Mediterranean and Persia. The distance
between the Black Sea and tne Caspian 10
160 miles. The period required for refilling
might be reduced one half by G cut con

How A CHRoNo IS MADE.-First We must
have the drawing or picture to be copied
in chrome. 1t is placed on level surface
and over it is spread a sheet of transparent
oiled paper, through which every line of
the drawing can be distinctly seen. The
arLIst now goes to work, and with great
, car makes perfect trace of the drA wing
upon the transparent paper. Having com
pletsd it, be reverses it upon the smooth
surface of q Telegraph stone, and subjects it
to heavy pressure which transfers the
trace to the stone much after the manner
that the copy of letter is made in the
copy book with a copying press.
The next step is to compare the original
with the trace now appearing on the stone,
and to correct any defects that may appear
and fill out to perfection any places that
are found imperfect or may have been
traced in mere outline.
In this way he makes parts of the draw
ing on just as many stones as there are to
be colors in the chromo. For instance, one
stone has on it the red parts of the picture,
another the green, another the black, and
so on to the end of the list.
All being complete the stones are
placed into galvanic bath, which acts up
on them, cutting away such portions as are
not protected by the chemicsls used in the
drawings, thus doing the work of an en-.
graver, but doing it as no eDgraver could
possibly do it-true to q hair, and finer, if
necessary, than the naked eye can trace.
One of the stones is next placed upon
the photographic press, and all the sheets to
become cromoes are next printed upon it
in one color. Then comes the next stone
with the next color, and SO on until all the
colors have been printed and the chrome is
complete. 1t is a slow process, and one
that requires great care, as the sheets must
go on exactly right to make the color come
TO precisely the right place. From twenty
to thirty times the sheet must 60 through
the press, in many instances, to make a
perfect chrome.

Eighteen Hundred Years After Death
A correspondent of Appleton's Journal,
writing of excavations at Pompeii, says:

A correspondent of Appleton's Journal,
writing of excavations at Pompeii, says:
"Among the most interesting of the OBJ
jects found recently are two skeletons,
one of a somewhat elderly man, the other
of woman. They were found in the Via
Stabia among the ashes of the last cru ption,
evidently overtaken in their flight and
buried in the cinders. According to the usual
method employed to preserve the external
appearance of objects, liquid plaster was
poured into the cavity, which serving as a
mould, fac smile of the forms was OBJ
tanned; and thus perfectly preserved, the
statue like bodies were placed in glass
cases in the POmpeii Museum. While ap-
preciating all the horrors of such a death
and the suffering endured, as shown by the
position, l cannot but imagine what would
have been the astonishment of that man OF
woman had some prophet informed them
that eighteen hundred years after their
death their forms, and even as much of
their garments as were not consumed in
the eruption, would be placed in q museum
for inspection by multitude of eight seers,
some from lands, the existence Of which
they had never dreamed of.
The poor woman Is lying on her face,
hind, is seen. Doe arm shields her fore
head, and she is supported by the other.
Her stony limbs are we'll formed, and
traces of garment are seen passing in
folds around her. The man, although
placed on his back 10 the exhibition, when
found was tnrned on his aide. One arm
rests on his hip the other is uplifted. The
face is somewhat distorted, but massive and
smoothly shaven. Even the form of the
fastenings of the sandals around the ankle,
and of the long button higher up on tho
leg to hold IL en-, is clearly seen. The
limbs are partly drawn up. The skeleton
of a tolerably large dog, also recently
found, is in the Museum of Pompeii, his
whole form preserved, in plaster, in the
same manner as those just mentioned. He
is lying gu his back, writhing in suffering,
biting his hind leg. The rings and collar
are plainly seem"

A PETRIFIED FoREsT.-From Mr.. Ride
ont, who has been engaged in preparing a
section of q petritied tree for the Centen-
NAL Exhibition, the Winnemucca (Nevada)
Star learns the following relating to the
petrified forest in the desert of northwest
ern HumbOlt: " On the plain, about thirty
miles from the Blackjack range of noun
tains, stands one of the greatest natural
curiosities ever discovered in Nevada. 1t ia
petrified forest, in which the stumps of
many Of the trees, now changed into solid
rock, are still standing. There are no living
treeS or vegetation of any kind, other than
stunted sage- brush, in the vicinity. Some of
these ancient giants of the forest, which
AoUrished, perhaps, thousands of years ago,
when the climate of Nevada was undou6t.
edly more favorable for the growth of lux
nriant vegetation than at present, rival in
aize the big trees of California. Stumps
transformed into solid rock stand in an Rp-
right position, with their roots imbedded in
the soil as when growing, that measure from
fifteen to twenty six feet in circumference,
and the ground in the vicinity is strewn
with the trunks and limbs which retain
their natural shape and siEe. Mr.. Rideout

these trees for the Centennial Exhibition
