Raising Ene EuryA .ce.

The beautiful English ship Eurydice, which
went down with all it's crew last spring only
two out Of $50 escapng-has been wrested
from the sea. HaWser5, seven and eight
inches in diameter, carried by four vessels,
were attached to the wreck by divers, and
then by pumping some 2000 tons OF water
into the four vessels they sunk to the requi-
site depth of five feet. A Popoff air-bag, an
immense turret ship, fastened by wire ca
bles, to act as tug, and a flotilla OF small
craft, took part in the resurrection. Divers
were sent down to see that ''all the elaborate
arrangements Of jewel ropes and toggles were
in good trim" and then, at the signal, every
hawser was drawn taut, the pumps set to
work to tighten the raising vessels of the
water previously pumped into them, and, as
they rose, the 'tgreat drowned ship" began to
nounced the Eurydice free. She had gone
down just an hours distance from the land.
Between the decks lay the remains of the
crew all streWn with seaweeds and shells.
The Eurydice was launched at Portsmouth
in 1843, and soon acquired the reputation of
being one Of the swifrest cruisers in the navy.
She had been almost rebuilt in 1877, and was
one of the handsomest ships OF the navy.
Never before was SO vast weight raised
from such depth in the face OF such diff
cuIties OF situation and tide. The work was
accomplished under the direction and man
agement Of Admiral Foley.

sanitary reform Millions for cleanliness was
tho cry. But 1t gradually died away and was
lost In the hum of reviving trade, and the
purpose of which it was the shibbOleth was
pushed aside in the eagerness OF all to repair
The wastes Of the terrible war, The great
work Of making II sewer out OF tho bayou
was put out OF sight with the death list, and
In year OF two the Cheap Johns Of the city
government began to nibble ut the SANITARY

of the municipal wagon, until from $4,000 its
yearly allowance was cut down to $4,000, with
which pitiful sum DR.. Erslsine and his CO.

year, most Of which has been done within
the past two months, want Of funds prevent
ing an earlier beginning, And now VIC are
paying for it-paying for 1t in the loss of life,
In anguish Of heart, in great sorrow, In woes
unnumbered and sutferlngs SO painful as TO

had pointed out as essential to the public

HEAT IN THE MINES.
The Sick and DeiiriOus, and the Rough
TreatmenC They Get.
Virginia City New Enterprise

Virginia City tNevl Enterprise
Those who have not recently explored the
lower levels OF the leading mines OF the Com
stock can have but a very faint conception Of
the heat prevailing therein at the present
tlme The heat is terrible even In the winter,
when the air flowing naturally into such
mines as have downcast shafts and forced
into others with blowers is freezing cold,
but now that the air on the surface has
a temperature Of fromo 775 to 800 it is
simply killing. Not only is the air as hot as
the breath of a furnace, but in most places
where men are obliged to work it is deficient in
oxygen, that life-supporting ingredient having
been burnt out by the many candles used
and in various ways absorbed and exhausted.
A temperature of 1909 to 1902 is so much
above blood heat that the process OF cooking
begins in the human frame. But for the floods
Of perspration covering the body the flesh
would really be cooked to a certain extent. A
temperature above the natural heat of the
body undoubtedly attacks it and causes the
flesh to undergo the first stages OF cooking.
This happens to a miner the moment per-
spiration ceases to flow from the pores of his
skin. The stomach is first affected, then the
brain. It is probably through disorder OF and
sickness at the stomach that perspiration is
checked. AS soon as perspiration ceases to
flow the body begins to cook, and first Of all,

LONDON, Aug. 40. Dispatches from Vi
emma represent that much excitement and
distress prevails there In consequences Of tte
news from Bosnia, and orders TO increase the
modified army to 10000, as WIS stated in
these dispatches some days ago, would be
done. The report Of tho defeat and capture
of Count szaparys division In Bosnia has not
yet been confirmed, but it ID feared that the
news may be true
Two weeks ago it was known that szapary's
division was In an isolated and dangerous
position, and that 1t was impossible for him
to do more than to remain OH the defensive
until retnforGements could reach him, but re-
inforcgtnents could not be sent ut once, owing
to tho fact that the possible resistance Of the
Bosnials had been underrated, end neither
were men ready nor whs the supply seryice
equal TO the emergency. Count Szhpnry, Ii
was known, had been compelled to foil back.
His draught cattle had given out; he was
short Of provisions and Of ammunition, and
his situation was critical. IL now, as re-
even driven from his line Of defense, Cen
Pbillipovich Is placed in danger, and the
most active measures must be taken to pre-
vent D calamity.
1t will be remembered that Count Szar-
pary,s division, on the fourth and eighth of
this month, fought two engagements, the
first OF Grasanica, the second at Hamper Kay
aCh. On the ninth and tenth he WIS ats
tackled In front OF Tu1la, and at the close Of
the fighting Oh the tenth he found himself
compelled to fall back on Grasinaea, harassed
all the way by the enemy, Since then he has
been on the defensive, with very limited sup
plies and his defeat and capture are possible.
The forces operating againgt Szapary are
composed largely Of regular Turkish troops,
and the whole country is said to be ablaze
with the fiercest fanatieism. Mussulman
fakirs are preaching q holy war, and all
classes Of the people are determined to resist
the Austrian rule.

LONDON, Aug. 20.-A dispatch from Rome
catcgorlcally denies the truth Of the report,
either in letter or spirit, that the Pope in
tends to dispense with the services Of those
Of his advisers and assistants who are mem
bers of the Society Of Jesus, or, as the dis
patch puts it, ITO sweep the Jesnits from
the Vatican" This statement Is understood
to have emnnated from the same source that
circulated several other statements concern
ing the intentions of the Pope, oil Of which
proved wholly false.
The action Of the Pope in every instance
thus far has been in perfect harmony with
the advice of his Jesuit counseiors, and it is
asserted that it Is false to say at this moment
there exists at the Vatican anything like

Our Platform.
IRichland ReacOn.l


1t is true that party platforms are general
ly good In the main, and are regarded as
promises easily broken-fn fact are seldom
redeemed In full-but the Democracy Of Lou
isiana has come as near redeeming Its
pledges made heretofore as any political or
ganiZatiOn ever did. Our Governor has dis
charged the difficult and onerous duties de-
volved upon him with the most scrupulous
care, self-sacrlficing patriotism and ire
proachsable integrity and honor, winning. for
tion OF even his political opponents, and to
the perfect satisfaction, we believe OF his
sanguine friends. Not q word Of complaint
or dissatisfaction has been urged by any of
point to our State administration with pride
and satisfaction. Hence, we can enter upon
the present campaign with full confidence
that at least the most important pledges of
oul party will be redeemed, and that It will
eventually lead us out Of our present wilder
ness Of difficulties and place us once more
upon the high road to prosperity and content
ment, ii the people will only exercise the same
discretion, forethought and wisdom in the Sc
lection OF their lawmakers and Judiciary
that they did in the selection of their Gov
ernor in 1876 Let them select the men best
qualified to discharge the duties Of the offices
to which they are elected, regardless of per-
sonal consideration, and then hold them
strictly responsible for the manner in which
they discharge those duties, and our State Is
safe.
There is no need of a Greenback or Labor
party in Louisiana. Our platform is broad
enough and sound enough for them all. The
party, through its convention at Baton
Rouge, has planted itself firmly and unmis-
takably upon greenback platform, and
espoused the interest of the workingman; so
that neither can object to the principles laid
down by the party
In short, we indorse the entire platform
and here pledge ourselves to the carrying OF
1t out in all OF its parts, SO far as our ability
and influence extends.

THE GREAT PLAGUE OF LONDON.
some Particulars of One of the Most Ter
rfhle EpidennLca of Modern Times.

The plague ragged in London during the
spring, summer and autumn Of 1865 1t first
appeared during thu previous year in the par
ish Of st. Fields, and was believ-
ed to have been brought over from Holland
It spread SO fast through the poorer sections
Of the city that year that the greatest appre-
hension was felt lest it might become general.
But the cool weather OF autumn and winter
checked and Was believed to have killed it.
Upon the return Of warm weather
IT BROKE OUT AGAIN,
and the season, like the present one, proving
unusually hot, it spread with alarming rapid
ity. The utmost precautions were taken TO
arrest it's progress. The city was quaran-
tined-no one was allowed to leave 1t having
once entered. An effort was made to enforce
cleanliness. People were INJURED In their
houses. Families afflicted by the disorder
were kept off the streets. In May and June it
entered the city proper, and several fatal cases
occurred in the best quarters. In July the
King and his court fed to Salisbury, leaving
the city In charge Of the Duke OF Albemarle.
The condition OF the city from this out is
graphically described by Defoe: s'Ihe face Of
London was strangely altered-1 mean the
whole mass Of buildings, city, liberties, sub
urbs, Westminster, Southwark, and all to-
the city, Or within the walls, that was not yet
much infected; but in the whole, the face OF
things, I say, was much altered. Sorrow and
sadness sat upon every face, and though some
parts were not yet overwhelmed, yet all
looked deeply concerned, and as We saw it ap-
Darently cOmtngson, so every one looked on
himself and his family as being in the utmost
danger. = London might we'll
