Cured in the Wellington coal mine on
the 14th instant and several lives were
lost by an explosion in the mine.
The following particulars are furnished
by the telegraph:
On Tuesday morning fire was dis
covered in No. 10 level OF the Yelling
ton coal mine, Departure Bay. 1t was
supposed to have been extinguished until
the following day, and on Thursday
morning, when rs or 80 miners entered
the level to resume work, an explosion
occurred, blowing the workings of the
level into ruins, killing II men and seri-
ously injuring others. Three Cinnamon

hope for them. Volunteers who entered
the level in the afternoon report the foul
air 80 strong they cannot remain below

OUR NATIONAL EMBLEM.

1t may have been noticed that thus
far have made no allusion to the
American eagle, the national trade mark,
patent applied for. but it is not that do
not appreciate the position that species
of poultry occupies on these occasions.
The poet. abiding to the eagle says:
This is too true. He is high old
bird, and the committee that selected the
eagle as national emblem should have
been arrested for disorderly conduct.
0, great bird! You live on mice. You
soar aloft on pinioDs airy, until you see
a poor little mouse with one leg broken,
and then you swoop down like a ward
constable. and run him in. You are
nice old bird for trade mark for a ma
ton OF heroes. you old coward. You sit
on rock and watch peasant woman
hanging out clothes; when she goes in
the house to turn clothes ringer, you,
great bird. emblem of freedom, you re-.
preventative of the land of the free and
the home of the brave, you swoop down
on the old plantation and crush your
talons into the quivering flesh of her
little baby, take him to your home high
in heaven, and pick his innocent little
eyes out. You bald-headed old repro.
bate, you would turn tail and run at the
attack of bantam rooster. o eagle you
look well on dress parade but you are a
unanimous coward and you eat snakes.
The bird that should have been selec.
ted as the emblem OF our country, the
bird OF patience, forbearance, persever.
anoe, and the bird of terror whom aroused,
is the mule. There is no bird that com.
bines more virtues to the square foo,
than the mule. With The mule emblaz
oned on our banners, we should be ter.
FOR to our foe. We are nation of un.
complaining hard workers. So is the
mule. We allow parties to get on and
ride as long as they bshave themselves
So does the mule. But when any ma
ton sticks spurs into our TANKS and
tickles our heels with straw we come
down stiff legged in front, our ears lool
to the beautiful beyond, our voice is Gu
loose and is shrill for war, our subse
quent end plays the snare drum on any
thing that gets in reach of US, and striker
terror into the hearts OF all tyrants. S,
does the mule. When the country i
older, and Congress has time to get i,
its work, an eagle will be superseded b,
the national trade mark, and in its plac
will rise the mule in all his glory.

BEN Buffers BACKoUT.-Benjamin
Butler was in his youth destined BY his
mother to become Baptist minister,
and she sent him to Waterville College
for preparation. Mr.. Bland, a new bio.
grapher, relates that one of the professors
delivered sermon in the chapel, in
which he said "1.-None but the elect
can be saved. 2.-Of so.called Chris
tians probably not more than one in a
hundred will be saved. 3.-Heathen
people will have more consideration OF
the Almighty in future life than men of
Christian nations, who hear but do not
profit by the word of God" After hear.
ing this sermon the young Butler petit.
toned the faculty to relieve him from
further attendance upon preaching, upon
the ground that according to the proper.
ton stated, not above six persons in the
college could possibly be saved; as there
were nine worthy professors all of whom
were doctors OF divinity, it would be
presumptuous for him, a poor student,
to hope for even the remotest chance OF
salvation; hence in attending church he
was only making his damnation more
certain and terrible.

WATER PURIFIED BY BOILING.
When the late David Thomas
conduct d the company OF ex-
ploring engineers for the Erie
Canal between Rochester and
Buffalo, he directed all his assis-
tants to drink no water in that
newly settled region, that had
not been boiled. Those who
adhered to this order remained
in health through the season !;
those who disregarded it all be-
came sick with fever. An Eng
lish commission on this subject
say, in their report, that boil
ing the infected water for half
an hour is a probable means Of
destroying its power OF commu-
nicating these diseases" They
allude to cholera and typhoid
fever.
TEST FOR WATER.-TO ascer-
tain that water is free from or
ganic matter, fill a quart glass
jar, perfectly clean, with the
water, and set it uncovered in a
closet free from dust, and 1t 1t
will remain bright and sweet for
several weeks, it may be regard
ed as good and pure.
Water is sometimes poisoned
by remaining in lead pipes. II
there is much tendency to collie,
and if the gums have a slightly
blush color, lead poisoning may
be strongly suspected. When
ever lead pipes are used, al

FERTILIZERS FOR COTTON
Two hundred pounds OF good
ammoniated superphosphate Is
about the quantity to be used on
an acre Of cotton. A soil abound
ing in vegetable matter will pay
a much better per cent with
commercial fertilizers than one
having but little Of this sub
stance. A large amount of fer
tilizers say half a ton per acre)
will not pay with low priced cot
ton. With good cultivation,
good fertilizers will pay even at
the lowest rates of cotton ; but
with bad cultivation they will
hardly pay at any price. Stable
manure, either fresh or rotted,
applied with a high graded SUI
perphosphate, makes a very eff
cient fertilizer for cotton. Cot
ton seed applied with the germ
killed Tor green, if put in deep)
in conjunction with a good SUI
