PER!Ls or THE MINE.-Th many

fully understood except by those who

How many of those with whom we have
been associated or acquainted, who have
been called from earth by mining ucci-
dents. Since the invention Of "giauts -
however, this class ofaccidents are, hap
PLY few, yet every little while we see an
item in some one OF our mining cxchang

manily from danger for the miner. The
OroviIle Nelc'uy gives an item in rela-
tlon to the death OF Isaac Kirk, a miner
OF Cherokee, in that county. Friday he
was missed from his cabin, but it being
supposed he had gone TO Orovile no no

A PROPOSED SALE.-The latest big
thing " on Government is the proposed
sale to it of the Palace Hotel. 1t is
claimed that all the Federal Offices such
as the Post Office, Land Office, United

in the building instead Of scattered over
the city as now. Fo doubt Sharon finds
the Palace an elephant on his hands
which it would be a relief to get rid Of at
almost any price, but that is no reason it
should be purchased unless it is suitable.

cannot and will not pay the interest
on her out standing indebtedness.
In the Times of late date, CORES

OF q plan whereby the demands of

and mandatory proceeding of judicial
tribunals may be set at nougkt. The
plan proposed involves the continual
resignation Of members of the board
of County Commissioners, by whom
1t Is claimed legal levies can only be
made. 1t begins to look as though
some OF the older counties are deter
mined to rid themselves of the incu-
bus Of an onerous Indebtedness, by a
resort to the most desperate means.

q sample of the third cutting of alfal-
IA this season, on the farm of Hon.

was made from thirty days growth,

the second cutting was thirty days
growth, In April, and measured four

VOICE OF THE PRESS!

HTNHERE IS NO a country more pic
turesque and richly beautiful than
that through which the Missouri Kan
sas h Texas R'y runs, and no road in our
experience has smoother track, neater
coaches more commodious sleeping cars,
better eating houses and better accom-
modations generally, or more courteous
officers and employees. Every one connected
with the Missouri, Kansas 4 Texas railway
seems to take particular paius to make the
passenger comfortable, and to point out and
describe the various points of interest. Have
you ever been to Texas, the land of sunbeams,
beautiful prairies and lovely valleys? If not
then you have missed grand trip. We went
and Re took the Mil souri,, Kansas & Texas
railway, the Great Pioneer Line, and the first
to enter Texas from the north. Somebody
was wise when they chose its route. The ride
through the picturesque Indian Territory is
grand; il Is one OF the most beautiful conn
tries we ever laid our eyes on; in fact, the
whole route from Hannibal, st. Louis or Kan
sas City is one continual pleasure trip, pass
ing through rich valleys teeming with grain
across magnificent prairies, dotted here and
there with clusters of timber and pretty farm

Japan Theatres.

In Japan, the drama is an institution
of very long standing. The Japanese
are passionately fond of the drama; and
the true play -goer, regarding his theatre
in the light of big tea house, will sit
out, day after day, the course of one of
the mystic, romantic pieces so dear to
his mind; and rather than miss an Incl
dent Of story, will provide himself as for
distant excursion, and even be ready to
sleep in his box. Every town, almost
every village, has its theatre, and the edi-
flee, especially on the eve of perform
ance, cannot easily be mistaken. The
building itself is generally plain and un-
pretending enough, save, perhaps, that
its roof is trife higher than those OF
the neighboring houses, and that huge
doorway gapes in the place of the lat
ticed shutters which are so characteristic
of nine japanese houses out of ten. But
on the advent of performance, huge
flags stretch from side to side Of the
gables; platform appears from the up
per story, on which musicians-such
m usicians keep up an incessant clamor
of fife, gong and drum; shops which
were emporiums for the sale of clothes,
or sweets, or hardware, reopen as restau-
rants, and are turned internally upside
down in order to afford sleeping-room
for guests; and the dull, sleepy old street
awakens to an animation and hustle
quite peculiar to these occasions. The
interior OF the theatre is peculiar. From
the stage, running through the midst Of
the audience to the passage behind
passes platform along which the
most important actors make their ex
its and entrances; professions pass, ano
travelling litters or sham animals are in
troduced. Above the stage is cage
with blinds, are the orchestra-singers
fife, drum, cymbal, guitar, and gong
players. The stage itself is marvel o.
ingenuity and handness; that part on
which the actors are is circular, ano
works on windlass beneath; thus the
hurry and confusion so inseparable from
shifting flies and scenes is obviated by
the simple expedient of turning the stage
round, so that the half hitherto behind
appears as the new scene. The green
rooms, property-rooms and dressing
rooms, are situated behind and above the
stage,

A HORRIBLE PUNIsHMENT.'-The Per.
sian government inflicts terrible punish
ment upon robbers who are captured by
the authorities. Barbarous expedients
are resorted to in order to frighten them
from their illegitimate calling. Of fifty
who were recently captured, twenty, three
had their throats cut Others were cru
CITED, being nailed to the wall of the
town by their hands and feet, and then
left to perish slowly of exhaustion and
starvation. Others again we're buried
alive in pits of brick-work, in which they
were placed erect, with their heads just
above ground. Pinioned and naked, the
robbers were placed in these short, open
columns of brick-work and white
plaster, not unlike plaster Paris, was
then poured neck deep over their bodies,
around which it set into the hardness Of
stone. In their dying hours the misera-
BILE men were barbarously ill-treated, on
their exposed and defenseless heads, by
the rabbe and the soldiery of Shiraz,
Despite the adoption of these frightful
measures for the punishment of highway
robbery, the crime is of constant occur.
renee, especially in Southern Persia, and,
except in the most bitter weather in win

KINDNESS TO ANIMALS - Van Am.
burgh could handle his lions and tigers
with impunity. No animal will fail to
respond to kindness and uniform good
treatment. And especially will the no.
BILE horse respect and contide in and
faithfully serve master who deals kindly
with him. We have ourselves taken q
spirited Morgan mare which had been
rudely handled and become entirely un-
manageable through harsh treatment,
and, by appealing to her intelligence and
respecting her needs, in three weeks
time made her entirely safe and reliable
Tor wife and children, and all who would
treat her kindly and handle her gently,
and we have, after FIVE years, seen the
same mare resume he: old vicious habits
when again under the control Of one who
resorted to arbitrary or brutal treatment.
Always appeal to the better instincts OF
the horse, the mule, the OK, the cow, as
well as the dog and other domestic ami
mails, and they will never become vicious
or unmanageable.

VINEYARDs.-In 1S46, the vineyards Of
this country amounted to little over one
hundred acres. At this present time,
taking from Maine to Utah, and includ-
ing California, there is estimated by a
writer in the Wac and Fruit Reporter
nearly one hundred and sixty thousand
acres, devoted to the grape as vineyards.
If we put the numbers, and give space
therefor that are in gardens, we may
safely estimate the acres, so occupied, at
two hundred thousand. Calculating at
two tons to the acre, we have yearly a
product of four hundred million pounds
of grapes.
