Virginia City Enterprise.

Virginia City Enterprise.
In striking water in the 1000 level of the
Julia they struck a stink of mammoth
proportions. 1t is a stencil the like Of
which has never before been tapped ON the
Comstock. 1t "smells to heaven" It ap-
pears to. be a pungent combination OF
stenches. In speaking of the sweet-scept-
ed town of Cologne, Coleridge said:
counted two-and-seventy stenches.
Allwell defined, and several stinks.
The stencil that arises from the water
tapped IN the dropsieal Julia is different.
1t appears to be a villainous compound of
two-and seventy stenches. The miners
say the smell is not as bad now as when it
was first tapped. This may be so, but we
do not see how it could well be worse.
One may now cut it down slices in with
knife-then they must have been obliged
to cut a way through it.
Those who have been about sulphur
springs and mineral springs of various
kinds, including tar and petroleum springs
may imagine they know something of the
stencil that confronts them in the Julia;
combined stenches of all the springs that
ever flowed from the ground are not
marker to that which assails the nostrils of
the visitor to the Julia works.
4 1'be smell pervades the entire works
holds the fort. How the miners who are
in the incline and down at the 1000 level
to endure it, heaven only knows.
The water came in as clear as any water
ever seen-h ad such mild and innocent
loek-therefore the stencil it involved was
a surprise to all.
It should be anslyzed. Such water must
be powerful for good or evil. For all that
that is now known it may be u regular
medical bonanza. Tie Julia Company may
have a fortune in that water. It should
sell for $40 per bottle if valued according to
its nastiness. 1t is the best article ofstink
ever brought to light. its temperature as
it comes to the ground is 400 degrees Fab
renheit, therefore 1t might be untitled for
baths Of all kinds, as well as taken in the
form of beverage. ltqs IL M I.
We are curious TO see what the Julia
folks will run into when they stop cross
cutting. The indications now seem good
for finding a vast deposit of carcasses Of
antediluvian animals, birds and reptiles,
but we fear they will prove to be in bad
state of preservation. n

JOSH BILLINGS on BEER.
WHY HE BELIEVES TT WILL NOT INToxI--
" CATE-HIs FAMOUS BEER TEST ACT.

/ hev finally cum to the conclusion that
lager beer as beverage is not intoxica-
ting. T2af @s -j
Ihev been told SO by German who said he
had drunk it all night long just to try the
experiment, and was obliged to go home
entirely sober in the morning I hev seen
this same man drink is glasses, and if he
was drunk, it was in German, and nobody
could understand it, @4k arE
It is proper enuf to state that this man,
who kept a lager beer saloon, could have
no object in stating what was not strictly
true. sa5 s 5sz a A
believe him to the full extent of my
ability. / never drank but three glass of
lager in my life, and that made my head
uptHist as though it hung on the end of q
string, but was told it was owing to my
bile being out of place: and guess that it
was so, for 1 never billed over wus than
did when got home that mite. Ny vito
thot [ was goin' to Gie and I was afraid
that | shouldn't, for it seemed as tho every
thing had ever eaten in my life was CON-
ing to the surface, and believe if my wife
hadn't pulled off my boots just as she did,
they would hav cum laundering up with
the rest. s-is-. -.
o, how sick wuz "A years ago and can
taste it now.
never had SO ,auch experience in so
short time. aE.....
If any man shud tell me that lager beer
was not Intoxicating sbpd believe HIM;
bnt If be shud tell me that / wasn't drunk
that mite, but that my stomach was out of
orde, shud tell him to state over in q few
words just how man felt and acted when
he was set up.
lf warn't intoxicated that mite, had
some of the most ratnral simtums that
man ever had and staid sober.
In the first place, it wuz about so rods
wide from where I had the lager to mi
house, and wuz jest over two hours ON
the road, and hole busted thro each one Of
my pantaloon neez. and didn't hav my hat,
and tried to open the door by the bellpull,
and hiccupped awfully, and saw everything
in the room trying to get around on the
back side of me, and sitting down on
chair, [ did not wait long enutf for it to get
exactly undor me when WIZ going round,
and sat down q little too soon. and missed
the chair about 10 inches, and couldn't get
up soon enuff IT, take the next one that
came along; and that amt awl, mi wife
sed was drunk as beast, and, as sed
before, began TO spin up things quite
faeely.
If lager beer is not Intoxicating 1t used
me most almighty mean, that know.
Still hardly believe that lager beer IL
intox lcating, for hav ben told so; and ]
am probably the only man living who ever
drunk emmy when his liver waz not plum.
/ don't want to say anything against a
harmless temperance beverage, but if ever
I drink emmy more it will be with mi hands
tied and mi mouth pried open. .Ss#
don't believe lager beer is Intoxicating,
but if remember rite, think it tasted to
me like glass of soap suds that pickle
had been put tew soak in.

A MAoH1xE THAT VIII TELL Coul

A MACHINE THAT VIII TELL CoUN-
TERFElF IN.-Closely following the re-.
turn to silver currency comes rernarka-
bly, ingenious device for the detection Of
spurious sshalves.'' quarters, and
dimes. 1t is called the g Pocket Coin De-
tector,, and is SIMPLY q circular piece of
nickel, not as large as silver dollar, hav-
ing upon it's surface concentric circles.
whose diametess are the same as those OF
genuine coins upon its periphery three
rectangular inches, at equal distances
apart, and within the circumference three
triangular holes. TO test half-doilar
a knife blade is ran into the hole farthest
from the center, and the s'balfn is liked
in the nearest niche, which is just large
enough to receive it. The knife-blade is
made to act as fulerum, and the coin, il
good, will overbalance all that portion OF
the nickel On the other side of the hole
and win fall ;aotherwise, it viii be out
weighed and will rise to q point directly
the blade. By q similar use OF the other
holes and inches quarters and dimes can De
unerringly tested. Considering the fact tnat
the inches are necessarily Of different sizes,
therefore, displace different weights OF
metal, and that the heavier the coin the
nearer to the circumference the hole must
be made, while, at the same time. the ma
ker has to take into his calculation the
d;snIaeements caused by the other two
holes. II is seen that this invention is The
result Of no small amount of mathematical
ingenuity and mechanical skill.

Nice Question of Law.

A nice question of law has been raised
by the simultaneous drowning of Mr.. SUIT
ton and his wife at Battle Creek, Michigan.
He had an insurance on his life in favor of
his wife. AS she died at the same time
that he did, and as they had no children,
the point has been raised as to whose rela-
tives-his or hers-the money goes. 1t is
argued that in cases Of this kind, woman
being the weaker of the two sexes, would
expire first, consequently the money would
revert to his relatives.

Powder ExpIoslOn at Pottsvllle.

PoTTsv1LLE, Pa, August 17.-During
storm, about four o'clock this afternoon,
the powder magazine Of II. A. Weldy &
Co., on the outskirts Of this place, was
struck by lightning. There were eleven
hundred kegs of powder stored in the
building, and o terrible explosion immedi-
ately ensued-completely demolishing the
magazine, and scattering the debris with
terrible force in an easterly direction =
making gap in the woods fifty feet
wide.
A pcnicking party was assembled in the
woods short distance below the maga-
zine, and several of the party were more
or less injured by the flying stones, tim
bers, etc. John Wasler, boy named
Waugh, and son of Andrew Gallagher
were killed. A daughter of William
Brazier had her legs crushed SO badly that
amputation is necessary. Richard Stevens,
leg badly cut; David Thomas foot crush
ed i; Henry James, brushed about the
body and legs broken; VIM. Reese, leg
crushed-amputated.
The house of Henry Stealey was nearly
torn down, and Mr.. and Mrs. Steaey both
received wounds about the head. Many
cattle in the vicinity were SO badly injured
that they had to be afterwards killed.
Loflin & Rhoads' magazine, near by, con-
tanning several hundred kegs of powder,
was badly shattered, but fortunately no ex-
plosion occurred there. Fishers coal
breaker, one hundred yards west of the
Weldy magazine, was also badly damaged,
portion of the engine-house being de-
molished.
The explosion was heard eleven miles
distant, and caused great excitement in the
city. The large plate-glass windows of the
Pottsville Bank and the Mountain City
Bank were broken, as was also many win
dows in the Courthouse. The ceilings in
a number of residences were thrown down.
The house of James Galbraith, at Mount
Hope, is complete wreck. The loss is es-
timated at $4,000.
PoTTsvILLE, August 19.-The scene of
yesterdays explosion was visited by sever
al thousa nds persons to-day, many coming
from the neighboring towns. Among the
wounded that it is thought cannot recover
are Mrs. Steahle an elderly lady, whose
skull was fractured, and Richard Stevens,
sixty years of age, who had his leg severe
ly cut and refused to have it amputated.-
The Coroner's jury find no persons GEN.
surable for the explosion, and believe that
it was caused by lightning.
