One of the PeriIs of Nevada
Mining.

At the Julia mine last Wednesday
a powerful stream of hot water was
struck in the crosscut on tho two
thousand level. The Burleigh drill
was set to drill hole in the face OF
the crosscut at point about two feet
from the bottom. When the drill had
advanced about two feet into the rock
there occurred tremendous burst of
hot water from the hole. The stream
of water was equal to twenty-four
miners inches, and it was scalding
hot. 1t was spouted to the distance
Of several feet diagonally across the
drift, spreading as it flew till all the
open epace was filed with the scald-
ing spray and steam.
The stream also filed the end Of
the crosscut where stood the man
who had been running the drill. He
was held a close prisoner, as he could
not pass out through the jets of boil
ing water, and even in his prison was
in danger Of being suffocated and
cooked by the steam and heat. He
would probably not have escaped
alive but for the drill. He opened
the exhaust valve and allowed the
whole head of compressed air to rush
out in full and steady stream, and
this not only furnished him pure air
to breathe, but also cooled and pro-
tected his head and the whole upper
part of his body.
His fellow-worknen were soon
aware Of his perilous position-for
the roar and rush of the water could
be heard at a great distance-but
they could no more pass in to where
he was than he could pass out. Fin
ally, the men went out and procured
some heavy gum boots, reaching to
the hips, and large and heavy gum
coats. Guarded by these, one of the
men dashed in through the steam and
scalding spray, carrying to the pris'
oner like outfit. Shielded by their
heavy gum clothing, the pair rushed
forth and waded out along the drift
AS it was, the miner had his legs
pretty badly scalded. - Virginia

An Unenviable Position.

Editor Journal I'm reading the
report Of the committee appointed by
our astute Council for the purpose of
investigating Bailiff Smiths return
Of dog-tax, we gee the following:
Your committee find it proper to
acquit the BailiF of any attempt to de-
fraud the corporation in the matter of dog
tax.
And this:
We think that the testimony shows the
charge cannot be sustained that the Bailiff
has retained or neglected to return any
dog tax with a view to appropriate the
same to his own use or to defraud the cor
poration.
Now, will those conscientious gen.
tlemsn who have sworn duty to per-
form, tell US why they brought suit
which fastens debt of $50 for costs
on the city, and why they dismissed
an efficient and Trustworthy officer if
the charges could not BE- sustained
Gentlemen, We await an explanation ;
until we hear from you your position
before the people is far from enviable.

beauty and utility will surpass any
improvement made in our town for a

The material is of the finest quality

DEADwooD, the celebrated mining
town in the Black Hills, which for
long time enjoyed a very questionable
reputation, is reported to have settled
down intoa remarkably quiet, order
ly, law-abiding town" Not only has
it become law-abiding and orderly,
but religious organizations have been
established, schools founded" and
many educated and refined people
have made their homes there. Dead
wood contains population of about
5000, and all kinds of legitimate
business ale said to bsin a fourishing
condition. It is wonderful how soon
these frontier towns pass from semi
savage condition into one of almost
perfect civilization.

Wealth of the Bonapartes.

The first Napoleon endowed all his
family splendidly, as the master of
Europe might have been expected to
do. The records of st. Helena show
that a sum variously estimated at
from $2O,0OO,OOO to $lO0,0OO.O0o of
our money was at the command Of
the exiled Emperor in Amsterdam,
Frankfort, and London. Notwith-
standing the idle stories which have
been current for years as to the Pc
cuniary endorsements of Napoleon
III. before he became ruler of France,
it is absolutely certain that at the
death of his father, the ex-King of
Holland, at Leghorn, in l846, he in
herited a very handsome property.
He had always enjoyed, too, a liberal
allowance from his father, excepting
for time after the affair of Strasburg,
of which the ex-King entirely disap-
proved. Joseph Bonaparte died i'm
mensely rich, as did Lucien also, and
Jerome was wealthy not only through
the liberality of his brother but in
right of his wife, Princess of Wurt-
emberg. The fortunes of the Bona
parties came by the sceptre and the
sword, like a good many other for

AN EYE REMoyED.-With his usual
skill DR.. W. F. Fundenburg, tho eel
ebrated Oculist, of Cumberland, Nd,
removed the left eye Of Jacob Hause,
on Tuesday, at the Dale House. The
history of the case, as We have
been able to gather it, is as follows:
About a year ago Mr.. Hause, while
engaged in mining ruptured the left
eye internally BY injudicious and ex'
pressive lifting; it soon commenced
enlarging and to SO great an extent
as to press upon the nerves and en-
danger the sight of the remaining eye,
rendering the removal OF the injured
member imperative. The operation
was performed With that skill and
rapidity only acquired by extensive
practice. He will not only retain
the sight of his single eye, but there
is every reason to believe that 1t will
rapidly improve its functions, now
somewhat weakened. - Aeysrsda!s

The protective tariff that it il pro-
posed to levy on American lard and
bacon imported into Germany is caus-
ing much protestation there. These
articles of consumption have been
sold there at considerable lower pri-
ces than the domestic articles, great
ly to the rejoicing of the poorer class
es, of whom many find it hard to live
at all. Even the farmers are said to
sell their pigs alive and to buy the
imported product. The proposed du-
ty will thus fall directly upon the
poorer classes, and since lard and
pork form considerable part of their
diet. will be more oppressive than a
similar duty upon almost any other
article of food.
