THE DEPTH OF MINING SHAFTS.

Twenty years ago the deepest min
ing shafts in the world reached only
about 100 feet below the surface. The
very deepest, we believe, was metal
fIierOus mine IN Hanover, which had
been carried down to depth of 2,29O
feet. The deepest perpendicular shaft
to-day is the Adelbert shaft in silver
lead mine in Prizibram, in Bohemia,
which has reached a depth Of 8, $50
feet. The attainment of that depth
was made the occasion of three days
festival, and still further noticed by
the striking of a large number of COM
memorative silver medals of the value
of florin each. There is no record of
the beginning of work on this mine,
although its written history goes back
to 1857. An elegant commemorative
volume has been written and printed,
which is most interesting to those that
have a taste for either the actualities
or antiquities of mining industry
There are two other localities, howev-
er, where a greater depth has been
reached than at the Adelbert shaft, but
not in a perpendicular line. These
are: L, The ROcksalt bore hole, near
Sperenberg, not far from Berlin, which
a few years ago had been bored to a
depth of 4 $50 feet; ,, The coal mines
of Viviers Remus, in Belgium, where
the miners, by shaft sinking, together
with boring, have reacheda total depth
Of 5, ,542 feet. Turning from these two
mines, no Shirt in unbroken perpen-
dicular line, has yet exceeded the
depth of $3.50 feet. The deepest bore
hole in the world is the artesian spring
at Potsdam, in Missouri, which reach
es depth of ) 800 feet. -BALTIaORE

A TRUE SOUTHERN DEMOCRAT
Noble Speech by the Next Democratic Gov
J fEcl q ernOr OF L0aisiana. 3 sial1ff

The following is portion of the ad-
mirable speech made by Gen. Frank
i. Nichols on accepting the rlomina-
ton for Governor of Louisiana at the
hands of the Democrats of the State !:
:" If / am elected Governor of the
State 1 will go and take my office un
trammeled by any man or set of men.
Twill do my whole duty, and after the
interval between this time and the time
I shall take my oath as Governor of
this State, shall cease to represent the
Democratic party. and be. the repre-
sentative of the people-not of one set,
but the whole. recognize, gentle
men, each and'every obligation incum-
bent upon me under the Constitution
of the United States, and all the recent
amendments thereto, and under the
Constellation Of the State of Louisiana
and the laws under them, and 1 pro-
pose, in so far as it is in my power, to
enforce them without regard to race,
color or previous condition.. Tn regard
to the vilservice, if am elected to the
office of Governor, 1 wish it distinctly
understood that NO friend of mine shall
receive any appointment ut my hands
by reason of that fact. [Applause. +
wish it distinctly understood that any
mai, if there be such, who supported me
under conviction or hope that 1 would
so far forget myself as to give him per-.
sonal consideration, they are woefully
disappointed. 1 propose to bring back
q proper tone in public affairs. pro-
pose to do right myself. aud So Car as
can control the doing right of other
parties, 1 intend others shall do right.
There is one thing about which wish
to make mention. I refer to our col
ored citizens. L believe, gentlemen.
that you have elected as your standard
bearer to-day agman who las always
felt kindly, in fact L don't know man
who has kindlier feelings toward the
colOred people than 1 have. Tap
plause.l My record oR that point does
not date from to-day, nor from the war,
but it goes back from the earlier period
of my childhood, and it is well known
among the colored people of Assump-
ton and want them to know, that
l will unfiinchingly protect them in
all their rights. I feel satisfied that
none of you are disposed to interfere
or deprive any one of their rights, and
if you are SO disposed you will find me
opposed to you. AS said before, if Il
should be elected by the people of this
State, I want, when my administra-
ton shall close, to have it said that no
man holding office under my appoint
ment shall bear and be the proof of
by the simple fact of his
being gentleman and an honest
man." ifi-E7 @ai &uiGd23 81 ato p
