SUGGESTION TO 4INERs.-The abrupt
change from bright sunshine to the in
tense darkness Of mine often causes
temporary blindness, where the journey
from the top to the bottom of the mine
Is made quickly, To allow the miners
70 recover their sight, it is the custom,
in some mines, to have a well lighted
Whitewashed room at the foot Of the
shaft, where the miners can sit while
recovering the use of their eyes. To OBJ
viate this delay, it is suggested that, if
one eye be closed a moment or two before
entering the pit, and kept closed till the
bottom Of the shaft is reached, on open.
ing the eye the miner will be able to see
distinctly the moment the lower dark
ness is reached. This custom is already
carried out by miners in Mexico. who
come to the daylight, and then return at
once, Keeping one eye closed during their
brief excursion to the sunlight.

Whas a Great Newspaper says Of the
Coming Great show.

7 Unquestionably, by far the greatest
Menagerie- and Circus that has ever visited
this place will reach here by its special
trains, on Monday of next week, and that
is the Great European Seven Elephant Rail-
road Exposition Of the Sells Bros. Its
proportions are simply enormous, and its
educational and amusement resources al
most beyond computation. 1t is also as
superior in refinement and elegance Of
presentation as it is oYerShadoWing in vast
ness, and comes recommended and iudors-
ed in the highest and most unqualified
terms by the entire press wherever it has
pitched its mammoth tents. Such indis-
putable authority as the Pittsburgh Daily
Dispatch emphatically praises itas follows:
''The elephants to which such prOmi-
nence has been given in our advertising
columns, arrived by the Pan Handle yes
terday together with the balance Of the
big new mensgerie and circus by which
they are employed as a distinctive title.
The really superb and sensational parade
on the South Side in the morning, together
with the highly original and successful ad
Yertising escapade of the tWO-hOrned
rhinOcerous, gave the show such first
class send-off that business was excellent in
the afternoon and extraordinary at night,
when the smOke-tinged Drawn and muscle
Of Birmingham rallied in admirable dis
order to forget the furnace, factory and
forge in the presence Of Tropical Terrors"
and the ''Monarchs Of Muscle" Well
recommended as the show has come, and
liberal as we're its promises, it fully merits
the one and redeems the other. Much lib
erality, originality and ingenuity is dis
played in its street pageant. which seems
to compass the limits Of possibility in that
direction, and give an excellent free idea
Of what comes after for pay. The menag-
erie is very large and complete, and nota-
bly, cosmopolitan. The circus troupe is an
unusually large one, and combines a vide
diversity of talent. The bareback riding
is Of the best, and the various gYmnastic
feats command continued applause. Willis
Cobb's educated dogs, monkeys and goats
give most entertaining and laughable va
riety to the programme.

INTRODUCTION OF THE PoTATo.-Sir
Walter proved to be one of the greatest
benefactors to his own country, and
eventually 10 the United States, by the
introduction of the potato, in the year
1884. The root was first planted on
Raleigh's estate at Younghall, which was
afterwards sold TO the Earl of Cork, and
the person who had the management of
the estate, mistook the flower or fruit, as
be called It, for the valuable part, and on
tasting the potato ball pronounced It q
perpicious exotic, Sometime afterwards,
on nturning up the earth, it was discovered
that the root had spread largely and in
considerable quantities; and from this
source Great Britain's potato supply
commenced and then gradually the cul-
tYation was extended through North
America, The potato is supposed to
have been native Of Mexico.

ECONOMY THE FAsHIoN.@One of the
greatest changes in the times is that it i.
no longer fashionable to live at undue
expense. Fashionable people now parade
their economy as much as a few wears
ago they paraded their wealth. We think.
too, that a greater respect is constantly
being manifested for industry. Idleness
is held in contempt, and idle people have
no place In society. These are encourag-
ing signs. Under such state of things
the depression in business can hardly
continue much longer. And when VIC do
enter upon a new career Of prosperity,
it win be founded on a more solid and
enduring basis.
