REMOVAL
JOHN McGAUGHEY

Would respectfully notify the public generally
that he has removed his Grocery Store from
shaw's Row, to the building formerly occupied
by J. Miles Kratrer, on Second street, next door
to Bigler's hardware store, where be intends

he stopped to feed or drink; and scat.
tering of sand and gravel will tell when
he was startled by any strange sight.
In all this two things are needed-sharp
sight and careful training. The ele-
phant often makes a very curious track
as he walks; if he suspects danger, he
scents the ground with the tip of his
trunk, and this makes q well-marked,
serpentine line in the dust. Elephants
have changed their tactics since rifle
pits were introduced. Formerly, when
their chief danger was pitfall, the
leader of the herd felt the ground inch
by inch and if he detected the covering
of trap, tore it off and left it open.
Now they rely mnch more on scent, and
in this way, often from great distance,
detect the hunter lurking near their
drinking-places. If SO, they will some
times travel fifty or hundred miles to
another stream or pool.

THE sUTRO TUNNEL.

A correspondent of the Engineering
and Mining Journal declares the Sutro
Tunnel second to no enterprise in the
West. He says: ats mouth is in the
valley of the Carson River, a stream
which washes the eastern base of the
Washoe Range, in which the Comstock
lies. 1t has been driven total dis
tance of 1900 feet up to date, and is
making progress at the rate of 800 feet
per month. Not more than $500 feet
now intervenes between the breast and
the nearest mine on the Comstock, the
Savage, so that, if the present
rate of progression be maintained,
about ten months more will
suffice to complete the connection. The
lode will be cut at a depth of about L.
800 feet perpendicularly below the sur
face, and very nearly the center, meas
uring by the extent of the surface work.
ings. 1t is then proposed, either by the
Sutro Company or by combination of
owners along the vein, to run drift
north and south through each claim un-
til the ends of the veins laterally are
reached. This will connect every mine
on the vein with the tunnel; will drain
the entire workings; and, should these
lateral drifts be put under one manage
ment and made common highway, will
afford the means of working the entire
vein through one opening. 1t is now
eight years since the work was first be-
gun at the town of Sutro on the Carson
River. The expense of prosecuting the
work has averaged about $1,000 per
day, and when the Comstock is reached
the total cost will have amounted to
about So, 100000. The tunnel is double
tracked, as straight as an arrow in
its course, and a rise just sufficient for
drainage. Three air shafts have been
sunk along its course. At the mouth of
the tunnel the Sutro Company have laid
out town, have secured magnificent
water powers, and expect to realize
largely on that part of their investment
by the removal of most of the mining
and milling operations on the vein from
Virginia City to Carson"

A PLAN OF DEALING WITH
PAUPERISM.

would like to see every charitable
organization existing in this city, in
Guiding my owu enterprise, swept out of
existence. would like to see established
in their place single organization
whose grand purpose it is to work a
radical cure of pauperism. I would like
to see the city government, which is di-
rectly responsible for more than half the
pauperism we have, united in admins
tration with the chosen representatives
of the benevolence of the city, in the
working out of this great cure I
would like to see the city divided into
districts SO small that one man can hold
in each, not only registry of every
family living in it, but obtain and pre-
serve a knowledge of each family's cir
cumstances and character. l would
have a labor bureau in every
district, in connection with this
local superintendent's Office. would
have the record of every man and wom-
an even more complete than any that
has ever been made by your mercantile
agencies. 1 would have such vagrancy
as we find illustrated by the tramps and
dead beats who swarm ahnnt the city,
sufficient crime for condemnation to
hard labor in prisons and factories
built for that purpose. I would make
beggary on the street a misdemeanor
punishable by Imprisonment. would
have every helpless person understand
where help in emergencies can always
be had by representation of facts, SUBJ
ject to immediate and competent exami-
nation. 1 would see the matter so
arranged that a premium would be put
upon the truth, and a ban upon false
hood. Temperance and intemperance
should always be considerations in deal
ing with the poor. There is no limit
to the benefits which such an organiza-
tion as this would have the power to In
augurate and perpetuate, and, gentle
men. I verify believe that under its in
telligent and faithful administration we
could Danish beggars from the streets,
introduce new era Of prosperity and
virtue among all the suffering poor, and
save ourselves forever from the terrible
pauperization that curses and almost
kills the cities of the old world.-Nich-
olas Minturn, IN Scrfbner.

PROFITS OF PoETRY.-Longfellow,
the most popular American poet and
quite as popular in Great Britain as
here, has not had from his works more
than 100000. He is independent in
eircumstances-probably worth $780,
900 to $500, ,OOO-but the greater part
of it has come to him through his wife,
long since deceased, who was rich in
her own right 1t should be remem-
bered, too, that he has been writing
most industriously, and that he is now
seventy.
Whittier, charming poet that he is,
has within few years earned some
thing by cultivating the Muse; but If
he had not from the beginning pursued
rigorous economy he might have come
to want. Like most thrifty New Eng
landers, he owns his own house, and be-
meath its humble roof, it is said, he has
sometimes subsisted-he is bachelor
you know-on $500 year. Such often
are the wages of poetry.
Holmes is as well off by the practice
of the medical profession. by marriage
and by inheritance, albeit not by poems,
lectures, novels, nor Autocrats of the
Breakfast Table. All that he has writ
ten has not brought him $4,000, and
but for his independence he would not
have felt able to give as much of his
time as he has given to miscellaneous
literature.

TRACKS AND TRAILS.

One of the most remarkable features
of uncivilized life is the power savages
show of tracking men and beasts over
immense distances. Many travellers have
spoken of this as something almost mi
raculous, yet it is only the resultof care
full observation of certain well-known
signs and we have here before US col
lection of very common-sense hints on
the subject In countries like ours ev-
cry trace of footprint or wheel-track on
roads and paths is soon obliterated or
hopelessly confused /; but it is otherwise
in the wilderness, where neither man
nor beast can conceal his track. In
Kafirland, when cattle are stolen, if
their footprints are traced to village,
the headman is held responsible for them
unless he can show the same track going
out. A wagon track in new country
is practically indelible. "More espec-
ially," say our authors, sis this the case
if fire sweeps over the plain immedi-
ately after, or if the wagon passes dur
ing or after a prairie fire. We have
known fellow-traveler recognize in this
manner the tracks his wagon had made
seve1a gears before, the lines of charred
stumps crushed short down remaining
to indicate the passage of the wheels,
though all other impressions had been
obliterated by the rank annual growth
of grass fully twelve feet high" Some
times the original soil being disturbed,
new vegetation will spring up along
the wagon-track, and thus mark out the
road for miles. Even on hard rock a
mans bare foot will leave the dust cak-
ed together by perspiration, so that a
practised eye will see it; and even if
there is no track, stone will be dis
turbed here and there, the side of the
pebble which has long lain next the
ground being turned up. If it is still
damp, the man or beast that turned it
has passed very recently. If a shower
of rain has fallen, the track will tell
whether it was made before, during, or
after the shower similar indications can
be obtained from the dew and another
indication of the time that has elapsed
since man passed by is furnished by
the state of the crushed grass, which
will be more or less withered as the time
is longer or shorter. Other indications
are drawn from the direction in which
the grass lies this tells how the wind
was blowing at the time the grass was
crushed and by noting previous changes
of the wind, one learns the time at
which each part of the track was made.
Much, too, can be learned from the form
of the footprints. Savages generally
turn their toes in, in walking; white
men turn theirs out A moccasin print
with the toes turned out would indicate
that white man in Indian walking
gear had gone by and almost every foo
has print of its own, which enables ar
experienced tracker to follow single
track amongst dozen others. Similar
ly the character of the print will tel
whether the man who made it walked
freely or was led by others; whether hi
was in hurry or travelling slowly
whether he carried burden and if h'
were sober or tipsy. A horse-track i
equally well marked. 1t tells when th'
horse galloped, where he walked, wher

A CATASTROPHE.

No human being
Who saw that sight
But felt a shudder
Of pale alright,
He sat in the window
Three stories high
A little baby
With no one nigh.
A stranger saw him,
And stopped to stare;
A crowd soon gathered
To watch him there.
A gleam-a futter
In airy fight,
Came past the window
A butterfly bright,
From fields of clover
And perfumed air,
Wayfarirg insect
What brought you there?
The baby saw it,
And eagerly
Reaching to catch it,
Growing with glee.
What fat pink fingers,
Reached out and fell
The awful horror,
No one can tell,
Poor little baby,
So sweet and bright
Pale faces quivered
And the lips grew white.
Weak women tainted,
Strong men grew weak,
Up rose a woman's
Heart-piercing shrek.
Hurrah for the awningl
Upon the fly
1t caught the yOungster
And tossed him high,
The bounce prodigious
Made baby scowl;
He caught his breath, sir,
And set up a howl.
All blessed the awning
That had no flaw;
But a madder baby
You never saw.

Killed for q Due Bill.

BRUNsoN, S. c., August S.
A fatal shooting affray took place here
last night about dark, between r. T. Gill
and d. J. Martin, both white and resi-.
dents of this place. which resulted in
the instanr death Of the latter. The cir.
cumstanccs that caused the difficulty
were about rs follows: Some time in tho
day Martin and Gill had some words
concerning due bill for some ycry
small amount, which apparently passed
of satisfactorily to both parties. But to
the surprise Of the citizens, some time
afterwards Martin repaired to Gills resi-
dence with double barrel gun, and en-.
tered his house, searching through the
same. Gill, knowing the character he
had TO deal with, escaped through the
back way with his wife. Martin, after
fruitless search, started back to his own
house, about thirty step; distant. Be-
fore, however, reaching his gate no stood
his gun against the fence, and returned
Q second time; it is supposed 10 hunt for
Gill again. Gill, mes.!ns him on the
door steps, fred at him with a Colts
navy :evolyer, the hall going through
Martina heart. He turned, made a few
steps of and fell. Gill fred again, and
the shot took effect in his back. The

matter. Gil: has fled to parts unknown.

NATIONAL IMMIGRATION BUREAU.

Maj. j. G. Hess. the general agen: of
the National immigration bureau OF
Philadelphia, is in Anderson, and will
be pleased to furnish information rcla-
tive TO tho aims end objects of the Blu
reau to any person desiring it. This
Bureau has been recently formed for the
purpose of importing desirable immi-
grants from Europe to this country, and
if properly supported will accomplish
great results for the portions of the
American Union which are sparcely
settled and in need of immigration.-
The building used for the purposes of
this worthy object is the celebrated Ma
chinery Hall Of the Centennial Exhibi-
ton. The following extract from their
circular is worthy Of the attention of
our readers:
"In this building thcro will be cxhibi-
ted, free Of charge, all contributions .he
different States and Territories NAV see
tit to make. These are expected to en..
brace specimens Of minerals, vegetable
products, manufactures, works of art the
laws. statistics and rates of taxation of
the different States; maps, charts, and
full descriptions Of lands for sale; togeth.
or with an abstract of titles and speci.
mems of all kinds, that will represent the
resources of each State and Territory, so
as to enable the manager of the Bureau
TO answer any question emigrants may
want to ask. Everything Contributed
will DO thoroughly exhibited free Of
charge, and without pnrtiality or favor
itism.
'The object OF this Bureau is to foster
and encourage immigration in ell the
States and Territories that desire it.
Hence they should oil be represented.
SPecinen5 of their resources should be
on exhibition for the enlightenment of
emigrants who arc selecting new homes.
Parties having inducements to offer
immigrants, should be full and explicit
in their descriptions, so as to be readily
comprehendI3. Those who have lands
to offer cannot be too particular in Civ
Ing locations, descriptions, titles, prices,
character of soil, &C."
