Unslaked lime compressed into car
tridges, or used loosely and well tamp-
ed down in the hole, using water or
other liquid to saturate and expand it,
is now proposed for use in fiery coal
mines. 1t is claimed that the advan-
tages to be derived from its use are
economy in the production of coal;
making less slack than by using ordi-
nary blasting powder; lives of colliers
are in less danger; the breaking or

A STRANGE MEssENGER.-A pro-
fessional diver said he had in his house
what would probabably strike visit
or as a very strange chimney orna-
ment-the shells of an oyster holding
fast piece of printed paper. The
possessor of this ornament was diving
on the coast, when he observed on the
bottom of the sea this oyster on rock,
with piece of paper in its mouth,
which he detached, and commenced to
read through the goggles of his head

coming to him thus strangely and un-
expectedly, so impressed his uncon-

Few men have been more fortunate
as book makers than Alexander II.
Stephens, whose Constitutional View
of the War;" two volumes, has sold, it
is said, to the extent of 10000 copies.
He has received royalty of twenty
five cents volume, and has, in con-
sequence, made s35, 200 from the work
more than most professional authors
make in their lives. All this and
more he lost by his partnership in the
Atlanta Sun, Of which he was for
some time political editor as well as
co-proprietor. He is not a man to
keep money, for which, indeed, ex-
cept so far as independence goes. he
cares nothing. Although for many
years in receipt of handsome income
from his law practice. and notwith-
standing his simple tastes and habits,
his unlimited hospitality and constant
giving to all who need, or assumed to
need help, have prevented his acquisi.
ton of any thing like a fortune. In
fact, to-day he is ranked as a poor
man, largely owing to the Atlanta
Sun. Journalism is always an expen-
sive experiment. and has been the
consumer of boundless capital.

To MAKE HOLE IN GLASS. -NeiO
Remedies describes the following easy
method of making a hole in plate
glass: Make circle of clay or cement
rather larger than the intended hole;
pour some kerosene into the cell thus
made, ignite it, place the plate upon a
moderately hard support, and with a
stick rather smaller than the hole re-
quired, and hammer, strike a rather
smart blow. This will leave a rough
edged hole, which may be smoothed
with a file. Cold water is sail to an,

GAMBLING IN A CAThEDRAL.-The
Roman Catholic Church is greedy for
money. Money il m list have, and it
tramples upon the law of the land to
get it. During the great Fair which
it held in this city the Cathedral was
turned into huge lottery shop. Fool
ish visitors were coaxed into taking
chances for all sorts OF things; such
as a diamond ring, billiard table, a
house and lot, a horse and carriage, an
excursion ticket to Europe, and a
United States bond to the value of five
hundred dollars. The latter was to be
rafiied at one dollar a chance, and as
there were two thousand chances, this
must have turned into the church
treasury the comfortable little sum Of
fifteen hundred dollars. Truly a bril-
liant stroke of business. OH ye Ken
lucky lottery dealers, hide your faces!
The "HOly Mother Church" beats you
at your own game, and comes out
ahead.-[N. Y. Methodist.

The Metropolitan Elevated Railroad

The Metropolitan Elevated Railroad
on Sixth avenue in its first six months
has carried over 100000 passengers,
and the travel, it is said, increases
constantly. Over 1000 trains are
run daily on this road, and during
certain hours of the day the trains are
crowded, many are standing up near
ly the whole distance. The conven-
ience and comfort of these elegant,
well.warmed cars are beginning to be
appreciated as the stormy days of win
ter are coming on. In two months
more we shall all doubt whether we
could actually have lived without
them. The poor dumb animals who
have dragged 75 or 100 passengers in
a street car through the snow Of many
winters might wonder still more how
they could have lived.-[N. Y. Oh

The New York Shipping List says;
The Mexican dollar is refused by most
tradesmen, except at a discount Of 10
per cent. II weighs on an average,
4l5.6s grains, and is 901 parts fine,
so that it contains 374.53 grains, near.
ly, of pure silver. That is four ard
one-quarter more than our standard
silver dollar, and three and one.haif
grains less than the Trade dollar.
At the present rate of silver, the
standard dollar is worth SO cents, the
Mexican dollar, go cents, and the
Trade dollar, 90.9 cents. The Trade
dollar which is nc more legal tender
than the dollar Of Mexico, will soon
be thrown out also. The standard
American dollar having an enforced
legal value, it may be used to pay
debts already incurred, but for cash
payments in large amounts, it will
only be accepted at a large discount.

Some fifty years ago, a gang OF Bel
gian miners, angry with another set Of
underground workers, set a mas Of
coal on fire to smoke out their COM
rades. How well they succeeded, let
the record of half a century tell. Years
have passed away, a generation has
faded, the angry passions of those who
thus sought revenge has become a
thing of the past; but the fire started
in that mine long ago blazes on, and
no earthly skill has yet found the way
to extinguish it. Burning on, ever
consuming, it is fitting type of the
unceasing power Of sin and passion,
and of the never-ending fire which
they kindle.

An attempt has recently been made
to establish hOgging as a punishment
for certain offences in the State Of
California. In England, where fog.
ging had become almost extinct, II has
been largely re.established, and in
some Of our oldest States, where il
was abolished many years ago, there
is a good deal Of talk about returning
to a custom which, in modern times,
has generally been spoken of as "l ar.
barous." As TO that, however, all
punishment, especially so tar as it con-
tains any element Of revenge, is of a
savage nature. The question is wheth-
er certain degree of savageness does
not necessarily inhere to the highest
state Of civilization? Old States like
Delaware, which have never abandon
ed the use Of the lash. say they find il
wonderfully efficacious. There are
many arguments which may be urged
in favor of this mode of punishment.
1t is summary; and that is one of the
chiefest elements in the efficacy of
punishment. 1t Is irrevocable. A
tender. hearted Governor cannot take
of the stripes which have once been
laid on. 1t is greatly dreaded both on
account of the physical pain and the
asting public disgrace attending upon
Is infliction. Criminals who care lit
lie tor painless imprisonment blanche

io.ng Wan From the country.

On Tunday afternoan bobIail cal
Of the City" Line, going Missionward
was crowded. The seats were all Ia
ken, and many were standing; still,
ever now and then the car would STOP
to take on additional passengers. A
pretty and fashionably attired young
lady boarded the conveyance, but she
looked just little disappointed on dis
covering that she could get no further
than q few feet from the rear door, and
would be compelled to stand. Grasp
ing hand strap, she threw a wistful
glance around her. One Of the occu.
pants Of the seats was young man
from the interior, and he surrendered
his seat to the last arrival. Smilingly
she accepted his offer, and the gentle.
man took up his station near the front
door. An instant after she had set
tied herself in her seat and shaken out
the folds of her elegant dress, she took
a half dime from her purse and passed
it to the young man that he might
drop il into the fare-box. He, howev-
er, was not versed in metropolitan
st reet.railroads, his own fare having
been paid by city friend who was
with him. Thinking the money was
offered HIM as the price of his seat, he
quietly put it into his pocket, unob-
served by the lady, but to the great
amusement Of those OF the passengers
who witnessed the transfer. Conscious
that a fare was lacking, the lynx-eyed
driver, after ringing the bell several
times to no effect, opened the door
and demanded the missing ticket or a
half dime. A malicious urchin, on
mischief intent, spoke out and accused
the unconscious countryman Of steal.
ing the money given him by the ladies
to put in the box. This so exaspera.
the now bewildered youth that he at
once knocked down the impertinent
speaker. The boys mother,a nervous
dame of fifty years, swooned away; a
timid citizen by her side blew a police
whistle; the driver stopped the car. A
scene of wild confusion and tumult
ensued until the arrival Of an officer,
who was about to take the rustic into
custody, when the young lady who
had been the indirect cause Of all the
trouble II ade an explanation, the
countryman made an apology, the
saucy lad recovered, the nervous moth
er was conveyed to an adjacent drug
store, the uimid' gentleman alighted,
the officer disappeared, and the car re-
sumed its way as though nothing bad
happened. - San Francisco Chronicle.
