Virginia City (Nev.) E%nteTprise.l
About as tight q place as | ever got
into, said a Comstock miner, was some
years ago at the old Empire shaft, Gold
Hill. Myself and another man were
down in the shaft for the purpose Of
trimming II up, as the swelling ground
was squeezing In the sides and 1t was a
good deal out OF shape.
We were not on a cage, but simply
on a platform of planks with ropes
going up from the corners to the main
cable, which was of hemp. When we
reached a tight place in the shaft we
stopped and trimmed out the guides,
then went OF till another such place
was reached. At one point, having
given the signal to lower, we went
down some distance, when we finally
stuck. We reached for the bell-rope In
order 10 give the signal 10 stop, but
we had iouhd that 1t would round q
nail some distance above and we could
not use 1t. The engineer knew nothing
OF our trouble and continued to lower
away. There WAS no station near, and
on all sides rose the smooth walls Of
the shaft, leaving us suspended over
the horrible chasm.
Down upon US came the heavy cable.
We feared every moment that the
platform would turn over or would be
pressed through the tight place and
drop from under us. All WI could do
was to get hold Of the cable and keep
the coils Of II under our feet as il came
down. Should the platform turn over
or drop from under lie, we might be able
10 save our lives by hanging on TO the
cable. We shouted up tho shaft ill we
we're hoarse, but no one heard our
cries, and steadily down came the
cable, cau.iug US great trouble to keep
on top OF its coils. We felt that the
great weight must soon start the
platform when bo'h would most
likely be hurled to the bottom Of the
shaft.
Finally, to our great relief, the cable
ceasedto descend. For a long time we
waited in Suspense, not knowing what
would be the next move OF those above.
At last, however, we heard the voice
OF a nan shouting down 70 VA from
the nearest station above. We cX.
planned our perilous position in a few
words, and at length the great cable
began TO crawl slowly up the shaft
again. Still being afraid he platform
would give way, we were obliged 10
keep hold of the rope aud dance about
on the coils as they unwound.
II was tedious business, aud was all
The time a matter Of tie toss of 4
penny whether we got out alive or
went TO the bottom, but at last the
platform frightened up under us and we
began TO ascend. Oar work was over
then and we felt safe.
On arriving al tho surface we found
that the engineer had concluded that
we were going too far, aud without
halting or stopping his engine, had
sent q man down to the station to find
if any thing had gone wrong.
may have been in more dangerous
places in the mines, but WAS never in 8
place where the danger lasted 20 long
aud all the time up to fever heat. L
was TOO long q time for any mans hail
10 stand on end.

Cincinnati Exposition.

The Board of Exposition Commissioners
met yesterday to take some further action
regarding the proposed Exposition this
year.
Mr.. Means, a member of the Committee
appointed to confer with the Music Hall
Trustees, reported that they did not give a
positive answer, but he thinks that they
would not object to the erection of merely
one building if they have subscription of
at least $75, 900 for its erection. 1t was the
general opinion that this amount could not
be raised, and since one of the conditions
upon which the money was signed was, that
said money could not be collected until the
whole amount was raised. Under these
circumstances many would go back on it.
A favorable suggestion was, that the build
ings of the inclined planes could be used,
but after considerable discussion, motion
that the Commissioners should not take any
decided steps in regard to holding an Expo
sition this year until 500, 600 was raised.

A Pen Picture.

A few months, or even weeks, since, her
paid couptenance was the very type OF ruddy
health-the delight Of the school and the pride
OF the household She was always welcome
wherever duty or pleasure led her. Diligent,
punctual and exemplary, In the classroom,
obedient aud loving at home, she won the
hearts OF all. But alas those glowing cheeks
and lips are now blanched by consumption.
The voice once SO enchanting In laugh and
song is feeble, husky and broken by hollow
cough. Let us approach her couch and gent
ly take her bloodiess hand In our own. Do
not shuddcr because Of its feeble passionless
grasp. The hand once so warm and plump
shows its bony outlines, while the cords and
tortuous veins are plainly mapped upon its
surface. The pulse that bounded with reple
ton, imparting beauty, vivacity, health and
strength, to the system, is delicate to the
touch. The enervatcd heart feebly propels
the thin, scanty blood. Must We lose her
while yet so young and so fair! No. There
is relief. But something more is required
than the observance OF hygienic rules, for en-
feebled nature calls for aid and she must have
It. Administer this pleasant medicine 1t is
invigorating. 1t allays the irritable cough,
improves the appetite and digestion, and sends
Il healthy Jingle through her whole being. The
blood is enriched, nervous power increased,
and the heart bounds with new impulse.
Her face brightens-the blood is returning,
her voice is clearer and her requests are no
longer delivered in that peevish,. fretful tone
so deadening to sympathy. Her step is still
faltering, but strength is rapidly returning.
Let us take her out in the warm, life-giving
sunshine. In few weeks she will go with
out our aid and be able to join her compan-
ions in their pleasant pastimes and feel her
whole being "warmed and expanded into per-
feet life" The change is so great that we
think she is sweeter and nobler Than ever be-
fore. And the medicine which has wrought
this transformation, We look upon as q bless
ing to humanity, for there are other loved
ones to be rescued from the grasp Of the in
sidious destroyer. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery has raised her. 1t will raise
