a BALL IN THE BOWELS OF TIE EARTH. -
A ball was last night given by Captain Matt
CanGvan at the New York mine, Gold Hill, OF
which miue he is superintendent. The bal
took place at tho now station opened OF tie
depth Of / ,040 feet below the surface. This
station is quito as large as 40 ordinary ball
room, well f,ored, walled 10 with substantial
tmbers and has quite lofty ceiling. The sta.
tion is cool and comfortable, was appropriately
decorated Tor the OCCASION, and was lighted with
lamps suspended from the ceiling. The ladies
were dressed in calico aud tho gentlemen in
correspondingly inexpensive raiment. The
furniture was 10 keeping with the pla;e, and
while there was furnished everything necessary
to comfort nothing very eXtravagsnt was seen.
Never before in tho United States-if any where
in the world-has there been given a ball at
the depth of nearly quarter of mile beneath
the surface Of the earth. There was DO trouble
about persons slipping iuto the ball room with.
out lickela. 1t was queer way, too, Of going
to bell, this stepping upon cage Instead Of
into carriage, and being darted straight down

EARLY GRAss.-Vcry many farmers, aud
otherwise good dsirymeo. think that they save
money by turning their cows upon the pasture
on the appearance Ct srs.s, and that thereafter
| all The feed given at hcme is thrown away
| There Is rotlos more fsccious If you have
plenty OF pasture anu il will net poach under
foot give The stock chauc, at it BY all means,
but do not fail TO give tho usual feed right and
morning SO long es they will eat. Tho young
grass will tend TO clear the system Of bumor,
and act as an alternate to the other food given.
1t will also quickly iup prove the color and flavor
Of butter. If pasture is not plenty it is fer
better TO keep them 10 the yards unit! the grass
grows to fair bite. II is tho worst possible
policy to try and save hay aud grain 10 the
spriug between fodder a1d grass. Such stock
will show this lnlse economy oil through the
season.
Another mistake is 10 supbosiag that cattle
stabbed ali winter may be turned out IN the
spring and exposed TO cold storms Of wind and
rsio. Pull off your winter hannel5 the fret of
April, and SEQ how it is yourself. Stock, espe
oally dairy stock. and all animals giving milk,
should be carefully protected from storms in the
spring until tho days aud nights are warm. A
cold storm will not only distres, milking ani.
NAL severely, but the milk will shrink from
single exposure, often to such degree that it
will not be regaired during the whole summer.
1t is far easier to briog the milking yield up to
maximum, than, once lost, 10 recover it. There
fore give plenty of good feed and good shelter
all through the spriDg.-Frairie Farmer.
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT was aboihed four
years agoin Switzerland. aud sirce then there
has been such az increase 10 that country of

thousand persons have signed petitions to the
Federal Council asking fer the restoration of

prceipitatel5, has given six months to careful
Investigation Of tho subject, and has finally
decided that tho statistics of four years are not
enough to enable the1 to make up satisfactory
opinion. They have Inquired into the statistics
of crime 10 other oounIias where the death

Alice and one Of her children, at Dam

attention ofthe Home Secretary has beeu

to him by bigh medical authorities that

Puts q Stop 10 Them.

Secretary Sherman repeated his asser-
tion yesterday that he should pay out to
creditors the kind Of currency which
they prefer, as that would be the only
way in which double standard could be
maintained. As one of the immediate
effects of resumption, national banks will
no longer be able to obtain new notes in
smaller determinations than IS, nor will
they be able to have their mutilated
notes OF smaller denominations exchang-
ed for new ones of similar character.
Several Eastern banks, evidently igno-
rant ofthe terms of the National bank
law, made application yesterday to the
Treasury for the redemption Of consider
able sums of mutilated notes in denomi-
bations Of 81 and 81, Their application
was refused, and their attention called to
