ion and beauty, Every one wa. anx-
ious to get view Of the Chief Magistrate
and his wife. The reception took place
in the blue parlor, which was rendered
conser DRY by the profusion Of
flowers and plants with which it was
decorated. The President was in good
spirits d received the showers Of con-
gratulations with quiet dignity and re-
pose Of manner. Colonel Casey intro
dued the callers, and any number Of
ushers found employment in keeping
the crowd within bounds and preserving
order.
Mrs HAYES wore Princess dress Of
black silk, with loops and folds fared
with pale blue silk. The dress was very
plain. but extremely elegant, the slee' es
and throat finished with point Lace.
Her abundant hair, black and iIne, and
glossy, was brushed smoothly over the
temples and gathered into large coil
at the back, the Only ornament being

Anecd0te OF Miss Cushman.

SAYS writer in the Dramatic Neies:-
Harry Jarrett told me the other night
about that Cushman farewell at Booths
Theater. The arrangement was that Mss
Cushman should receive $500 night, and
it was distinctly agreed that the engage
ment should be advertised as the actress
farewell to the stage. The nights all
paid well, but special efforts were put
forth to make the last an ovation. The
public got wild over it, and seats sold at
tremendous premium. One hundred
and fifty dollars were paid for box.
Seats sold at IS, 81, and $40 Miss
Cushman saw all this going on, and the
day before the last Saturday she said to

said: Don't you think 81 900 check

knew you were good physician The
extra 81, 900 were given her, and she
played. In Philadelphia, the week fol-
lowing, business was again immense, and,
when the farewell night came near, Miss

had come back to the very point from
which he had set out, and where the lac-
cident had occurred. He summoned up
his fast-failing strengths and made am
other effort, still taking Quinn on his
back, but after proceeding short dis
lance he grew faint, and was unable to
go further with his precious burden.
Then, laying the dying man down in as
comfortable a position as he could,
Mooney crawled on his hands and knees
toward what he thought was the slope.
AT half past six. O'Clock a party of
miners, while proceeding down No. 6
slope, were startled by the apparition
which their lamps revealed. It was
Mooney crawling slowly up the slope on
his hands and knees, his face black and
bloody, and his whole body sore from
contact with the jagged pieces of coal
and rock. His eyes were at first dazzled
by the light; he had been in darkness so
long and trying to see, and he was
speechless with JOY for some seconds to
find relief at last. This was eight hours
after the accident had happened, and they
were eight hours Of awful mortal agony.
AS soon as Mooney found words to
speak he related the story in brief, and
begged the party to hasten to the assist
ance of Quinn, who might yet be saved.
They hurried to the spot indicated and
found the unfortunate fellow IN the con-
dition already described, with one leg
severed from his body and the other
crushed to pieces. He was still alive
and they took him up in their arms to
carry him to the slope, but he never
| reached it alive. He died in the arms of
his comrades. Mooney, who is severely
wounded, is expected to recover. He
played the part of hero in the unselfish
manner in which he risked his own life
trying to save his comrade.-N. Y,

Perils Of the Mine.

One of the most heartrending accidents
which has been recorded for some time
has just occurred at the Empire mine,
near Scranton, Pa. Two men named
John Mooney and Patrick Quinn, were
employed in No. slope, laying track, a
distance of about two miles from the
opening, and mile from the other work
men. When they last dreamed of dan
ger there was sudden convulsion over
head, and an instant later they were over
whelmed by a fearful fall of the roof
The terrible accident put out their lights
and they were in utter darkness. Mooney,
after considerable difficulty, succeeded
in extricating himself from among the
massive powders, which fell upon him
in such a way as to form. a sort of cave,
and upon freeing himself his first thought
was for his companion. He called aloud
for Quinn, but received no answer-only
the echo of his own voice beaten back
by the rocks. He felt himself growing
faint, and realized that he was seriously
injured, but was determined to ascertain
the condition of his fellow-miner After
calling aloud in vain for some time he

How to carry him to the light of day
was the next trial, but he was determined
to do it; and, taking him upon his back,
he began cropping his way through the
pitchy darkness in the direction OF what
he considered was the foot of the slope.
For two hours he wandered about the
living tomb, with his dying comrade on
