According to an official return made
In 1877 to the Mining Commissioner for
the United States Silver Commission, 28
persons met their death from accidents
In the Comstock mines during the oslen.
dar year 1875. Although the Commits.
sionrr has requested later returns from
the local authorities, none have been
received at this Office to date. From
other sources, however, II has been
ascertained that during the "a months

persons, and woundipg 20 others.

A Chiltl's Heart.

From the Detroit Free Press.
The other day curious old woman,
having bundle in her hand and walking
with painful effort, sat down on curl
step, up Woodward avenue, to rest, She
was curious because a smile crossed her
wrinklcd face as children passed her. 1t
might have been this smile that attracted
a group of little ones the oldest about nine.
They stood in front of the old woman, say
ing never word, but watching her face.
The smile frightened, fingered, and then
suddenly faded away; and the corner of
her old calico apron went up to wipe away
a tear. Then the eldest child stepped for
ward and asked:
"Are you sorry because you haven't got
any children?'
al had children once, but they are
all d-dead," whispered the woman, a
sob in her throat.
"I'm awful sorry" said the little girl
as her own chin quivered. "ld give you
one of my little brothers here, but you see
| haven't got but two, and don't believe
I'd like to spare one.
"God bless you child; bless you forev-
er," sobbed the old woman, and for full
minute her face was buried in her apron.
"But I'll tell you what III do" serious
ly continued the child. "You may kiss us
all once, and if little Ben isn't afraid you
may kiss him four times, for he's just as
sweet as candy!"
Pedestrians who saw three well-dressed
children put their arms around that
strange old woman's neck and kiss her
were greatly puzzled, They didn't know
the hearts of children, and they didn I
hear the old woman's words as she rose TO
go:
"0h! children, I'm only poor old wo
man, believing I'd nothing to live for, but
you've given me lighter heart than I've
had for ten long years.
