A woman living near Livermore,
California, has shown o good deal Of
true perseverance nnder difficulties
sush as would have crushed the aver.
age man beyond recognition. Her
husband was away on business
whole week recently, and one day
while he was absent the pump gave
out. The nearest nsighbor lived
long distance. SO she hoisted up the
pipe herself, and found that the
trouble lay in the suction leather,
which was too much worn 10 work

new one, using the old one as pat
tern. On returning, she found that
large hog had fallen into the open
well. Nothing dauuted, she got
strong rope, made slip-noo'e, fitted
1t around the squealing porker, and
then lifting as hard as she could, made
the end fast to the curb, thus raising
the animal partially out Of tho water
and preventing it from drowning.
She then harnessed a horse, hitehed
him to the rope, and in less time than
it takes to toll it, that hog,
All dripping with coolnsss, arose from the
we'll.
But before the rescue Of the parent

around in The water at the bottom.
Instantly the hog was rescued, our
heroine set about the recovery Of the
pigs. She procured ladder, which,
however, though long enough to
touch the water, was not long enough
to reach the bottom Of the well.
Necessity is the mother of invention,
and procuring teuce.rai, she thrust
it through the top round, resting both
ends on the curb. Then climbing
down the hanging ladder she rescued
the two pigs, bringing both safely to
the surface. This done she quietly
completed the job by putting in the
new suctien leather, lowering the pipe
into the we'll, closing the curb and
pumping water for her weeks wash

A GOOD BILL.

One Of the beet and mos! practical mess.
ures before the present Legislature, and one
that cannot fail to meet the cordial appro-
baton of the public at large, is the bill in
troduced by Mr. Thomas P. Gable, for sink
ing coal shaft, By convict labor, at the
Peniteniiary. This is work which, in.
stead OF bringing convict labor into COM
petition with the eforts OF the mechanic or
day lsborer, makes use Of the labor Of the
corvics at a kind OF work
that nobody elseI wants to do,
and the effect of which Will be to cheaper,
to the public al large, one OF the most val
uable and essential OF the "necessaries o:
life" Cheap fuel il a matter of benef. to
everybody, and Of injury to nobody-e1-
cept rlvsl coal companies, and they are
aburdartly able to take care Of themselves.
From this point Of view every argument
is in favor Of the measure; and considered
from the other side, as measure Of utility
aid profit to the State, 1t ia also q one
sided question, and that side in favor OF
the State. The State works at the prison
consume large Quantities Of fuel, and the
saving TO be effected BY having an sbun-
dent supply of fuel on the ground, mined
by prison labor, would soon reimburse the
State for the outlay necessary to sink the
shaft, leaving out of the account altogether
the profit to he derived from fuel sent TO
market.
The measure is an excellent one-good
for the State and good for the public, and
ought to pass the Legislature without or
petition.
