THE COLL[ERY EXPLOSION.

London, June 8.-The explosion in the
Evans coal mines in Haydook yesterday oc
Cured at IL in the morning. The Wood Pit
coliery consists of two mines, the Ravenshed
and Florida. The explosion was confined
to the last named mine. The men went to
work at 6 A. NJ The condition of the mine
had been examined as usual, and ten minutes
before the disaster it was, to all appearances,
safe. There were 250 men in the Wood Pit
colliery, 10 in the Ravenshed and the remain
der in the Florida mine. The men in the
Ravenshed were got out immediately-one
dead, and the others much affected by the
after damp. The two mines are connected by
a tunnel, and it was in the working of the
Florida beyond the tunnel, that the explosion
occurred. 1t is the general opinion that every
man in that part of the mine is dead. Ex
plorers have found the dead bodies of men
and harses on every side, fearfully burnt and
mutilated, giving evidence of the dreadful
force of the explosion. great fall of coal
occurred. The men engaged in exploring the
mine are working day and night endeavoaing
to reach the place where most of the bodies
are supposed to be.
Great crowds of men, women and children
have assembled in the vicinity of the pit, and
general grief prevails, nearly every family
in the vicinity of Haydock having suffered
loss of one or more of its members. No
powder was used in the mine. The manager
of the mine went down the shaft FIVE minutes
after the explosion, and finding number of
men at the bottom lying on their faces,
opened the ventilating doors and thus saved
the lives of eighteen men in the Ravenshed
mind The bodies already found are all much
disfgured 1t may probably be days before
all the bodies are recovered. The explorers
have suffered greatly, and have had to be con-
stanty relieved. A large staff of doctors are
in attendenre Crowds Of women have sur
rounded the pit since the explosion, weeping
and begging for news from the explorers, but
on the whole the people are very quiet and
orderly.

was summoned hence in his youth? Doubt, IS
the Creator meant that we should desire life
and love many days, that we may see good ;
vet not to the dead come silence and empti-
ness, and the grief of clay cold body for
warmth and breath and beauty. All these he
left in leaving life, and passed on to another
world to new surroundings, to plans and pur-
poses, to interests and enjoyments as full, as
keen, as absorbing as those that engrossed
him here; to friendships not more tender,
perhaps, but perhaps more wise; to compan-
ions and guardians who shall not supplant the
old, but who shall satisfy his yearnings and
forefend the pangs of loneliness and heart
hunger, and homesickness of the heavens
Out of life he goes, but into life. The wick
eddy wanton bullet could smite earth with a
lasting sorrow, but it carried no disaster to
the skies. The young eye grew dim, and the
strong arm failed, and the right hand lost its
cunning; but, entering his new world, no
power was weakened, no keen possibility was
dulled, not charm was lost, not a grace

where is thy victory9'"

THE STRIKE IN BODIE.

OF the recent strike in the Bodie mine at
Bodie, the Standard of Tuesday informs us
as follows
Bodie stock has for several days been stead
lily advancing in price, and from one dollar
per share week ago, it was yesterday quoted
at IS. so OF course there was good deal of
speculation as to the cause of this advance,
and now it is out. In the main west cross
cut of the $50 foot level rich vein of ore has
been cut
Superintendent Irwin, in his report, states
that the leoge is about two and one half feet
wide OF a high grade ore, and that there is
also two and a halt feet of horse" the walls
being we'll defined, and FIVE feet apart
Along the hanging wall there is strip of
about two inches of extremely rich ore, which
will assay as high as 81 600 per ton, and
which Will bring up the average of the entire
ledge to probably 800 per ton.
The Bodie is about the lowest mine on the
hill, the hosting works being 70 or 100 feet
lower than the Standard, which, added to
the $50 feet, would make it considerable
more than 300 feet below the surface at the
Standard. This settles the question as to
whether there is more than one good mine in
the camp, and settles it in our favor.

LOTTERY SwINDLEs.-The lottery
swindles are also receiving a share
of public attention. 1t is only in
a few of the States of the Union
that these swiudling concerns are
permitted to ply their nefarious

is Louisiana. The concern STYLED

their money into the Golfers of the

Good Advice.
IN. @. Christian Advocate

IN. @. Christian Advocate
In money making the only safe
course is to make haste slowly, and
40 learn thoroughly the great les
son, that money can not be hon
estly made ont of nothing. Cap
ital, labor, skill, are the founda-
4ions, and where there is not this
real base the superstructure is a
bubble and a fraud. Our young
men should start out with this prin.
ciple. We do not say that they
should not aspire to be rich, but
the aspiration must be made sub
ordinate to honest industry, and to
the conscientious purpose never to
risk other peoples money, and
never to peryert trust funds to their
own use. Steady industry, thrifty
habits and uncompromising integ-
rity will usually bring competen-
cy, and in the long run these will
succeed better than reckless indif-
ference to pecuniary obligations.
But if it were otherwise-lf hon.
esty means for us lifelong power
fy, continual privatlon and unre-
uniting toil-the true resolve
should be not to be rich, but to live
and die an honest man.
