The Women Of Normandy.

On the coast of Normandy the wo.
men are tough and hard to kill. A
few weeks ago the wives of three fish.
ermen, having filled their baskets
with shell-fish, were going home,
when they found themselves suddenly
in the midst of a dense fog, which pre-
vented their seeking land. But they
knew their way, and walked on. This
was about 6 o'clock in the evening.
When they thought they were near
home they were surprised by the tide.
They walked as long as they could,
but at length had to stop. The water
was then up to their knees. They
had to remain in the water till the tide
receded, the fog being still dense
They screamed as loudly as they
could, but heard no voice in reply, and
they were finally overtaken by the
morning tide. Meanwhile their hus-
bands were running up and down the
sands with lighted torches, screaming
with all their might; but neither par
ty saw or heard the other. at last
the fog cleared away and the tide ran
out, and the three fishermcn's wives

ia yesterday evening. From him we
learn that the Buffalo mine and mill
shut down on June 1st. They were
obliged to shut down on account OF

real cause is thought 10 be reduction

SING ULAR SUPERSTJTIONs.

SING ULAR SUPERSTJTIONS.
How Some Miners Think They are
Forewarneu Of Death.
There are wonderful things to be
studied in the vast laboratory where
nature has stored her treasures.
The mon who toll in the caverns of
the ground and tread the endless
windings of the drifts have their
presentiments of coming calamity,
and ut times feel the touch of death
in the very air. A Virginia (Nev.)
Chronicle reporter was talking with
IN old miner few days ago who
implicitly believed that no death
ever took place in the mines with
out warning Of some kind. "You
see" he said, "death never comes of
a sudden upon the men in the mines.
You reporters write up accidents
and tell how something gave way or
fell quick md killed somebody.
Now, this amt 80. There's always
some warning. When I see my
lantern begins to bum low down and
blue, I know there is danger ahead.
If it keeps on for few days and
then begins to waver and flicker, I'll
watch it close to see where it points.
Now, yon may set me up for q fool,
but what I'm tellin' is the gospel
truth. When the fame leans over
(as if it was being worked by blow
pipe) and points to man, death
has marked him. Some years ago
when Bill Hendricks was killed in
the Savage, the flame of my lantern
pointed right to him for over an
hour, and when he moved the flame
would turn, just rs if Bill was q load
stone anl the fame was mariner 8
needle, I knew he Was gone, and
toll him to be careful about the
blast. We'll, he g1t through that all
right, and got Oh the cage. AS we
went up, the candle kept acting
strangely, and at times the fame
would stretch out long and
thin towards Bill. At length it gave
q sudden flicker, and Bill reeled
to one side and was caught in the
ti.nbers. I heard his dreadful cry
as he disappeared down the shaft t,
and while he was bounding from
side to side, dushing out his brains
and scattering his flesh down to the
bottom, my light went out. I
never lit that lantern again. It
hangs up in my cabin now, and it
always will. There's more in a
candle fame than people think. I'd
rather see q cooked revolver point
cd at me than candle flame; q
revolver sometimes misses, but O.
candle flame is sure to kill when it
starts towards man. I must start
for my shaft now. Don't give my
name to anybody. There are some
who would laugh at me-" The man
here picked up his bucket and
walked away. There are plenty of
miners on the Comstock who have
just such supersitions. Some be-
lieve that bad and good luck come
in streaks, just as quartz and
property. For three years past
there had been no accidents in the
North Consolidated Virginia until O
few days ago, when Champion had
his thigh crushed. The miners
said at once that q "bad streak" had
been struck, and more accidents
might be expected. Yesterday two
more men were injured by falling
thirty feet into the sump. This was
caused by the breaking of two
inch plank that seemed able to bear
O dozen men.

BEN BUTLER'S BIOGRAPHY.
WHERE He CAME FROM--INCI-
DENTS IN HIS CAREER.
What a Reporter Learned in Ride
With the Essex Statesman--Ben Tells
His Own Story.


His Own Story.
From The Ne,o Yorlc Sun
The weary way was enlivened by
General Butler relating many re-
minlsceDces of a varied and active
life. I picked up, in this way, some
scraps of biography. General But
ler's grandfather and father we're
seafaring mon. His grandfather
served, however, a., n cavalry officer
i'll the revolutionary army until he
was rendered unfit for duty by a
broken leg. He then fitted out a
privateer and captured an East
Indian SO large that he hoisted his
little craft on deck and sailed into q
port Of Portugal. His grandfather
on his mothers side was also 2
privateersmap.
General Butler was
BORN IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
His father died six months before
at ST. Christopher, in the West
Indies. "The piece of land on
which I was born" General Butler
said, twas SO stony that in driving
the COWS mile to pasture r often
jumped from one stono to another
the whole distance. When he was
nino years Of age his mother re-,
moved to Massachuse It's, where an
old uncle lived. There were but
few houses at Lowell then.
Il have shot squirrels in the
woods on the hill where my house
stands" General Butler said. IL
have lived in that house twenty
eight years. There all my children,
and Sue and Blanche were born"
With some emotion, after Il pause,
he added: "For more than forty
years I have lived among the people
OF Middlesex county, coming in and
going out before them. 4 man is
known by his neighbors. do not
believe you will find one of mine
who will lot tell you I have been
a good citizen, good husband and
a good father"
General Buffers uncle assisted
him to prepare for college at Dexter
Academy, and to go through Water~
vile College. <I was wild boy,
General Butler said, "but not bad
one. I did not lead in all the
schoolboy pranks, but I was we'll
up with the foremost. It was an
orthordox Baptist institution, and
the Rev. Mr.. Smith, the same, by
the way, who wrote My Country,
'tis of Thee was our chaplain. We
had to get out of bed at 5 o'clock
in the morning to attend prayers,
and were obliged to go to church
twice ON Sunday and lectures once
n week. It is true," the General
said, laughingly, "that I helped put
a horse in the chapel one night, and
1 learned then how to make horse
go whom he doesn't want to go, q
trick that served me more than
once in the army. After the boys
had tried in vain to lead or drive
the old horse, I took him by the
head and backed him down the
stairs I often showed my men
how to get horses on q boat during
the war by backing them along o
plank"
