The Subterranean Avenues.

When the flooded mines of tho
Comstock were relieved. by the
completion of the Sutro tunnel,
the intimidation Of the shaft was
reduced 100 feet in eight hours. Mr..
Sutro when honored with a serenale
made the longest speech of his life.
" 1t is almost Is years." said he, "since
first proposed the construction of a
deep tunnel from the Carson valley to
the Comstock lode, and almost 10 years
ago the first pick was stuck in, beginning
a work which has been continued since,
by day and night without any interrupt.
ton, with an expenditure of Sc, 600, COO.
To-day for the first time, the water from
the Comstock mines flowed through the
Sut1o tunnel, and it gladdened ali your
hearts to see the stream of limpid water
that had caused many of the mines of
the Comstock lode to lie idle for years
in impotent efforts to free them from it,
make its appearance at the tunnel en-
trance. Some people who had foresight
sufficient knew more then 10 years ago
that the day would come when these
mines could be worked no longer; but
the great minimizing mass, who only
live from day to day, looked upon the
undertaking of piercing these mountains
as one 80 giant and protracted that they
ridiculed the idea, and gave it but little
encouragement. The day will come
when there will be avenues un Ter these
mountains in every direction, with trains
OF cars coming and going throughout
the day and night; and when we shall
reach under the top of Mount Davidson
at q depth of 8, 800 feet beneath its sum-
NIT, treasures may be unfolded of which
none of us have any conception"

A Snake al q Phvslcian.

The presiding elder of the Murfrees-
boro district of the Virginia Conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church
South, when boy, went out one day
with his bow and arrows and loitered
leisurely along the roadside, testing his
Workmanship upon various objects.
Coming to where shallow brook, called
in the south a branch, crossed the high
way, he observed snake, of the deadly
species known as the moccasin, basking
in the sunlight. He shot all his arrows
at the formidable reptile, wounding him
in several places, and repeated the pas
time, till the snake was, to all appearance,
dead. Seeing party of colored persons
approaching at distance, the boy took
the wounded snake in his hands and laid
him in a coil in the middle of the path,
and then hid himself in the bushes to
see what the negroes would do when they
came to the spot. In few moments
another snake of the same kind glided
out from the thicket and went up to his
wounded fellow and examined him.
Then darting back into the covert he
returned with some leaves in his mouth,
pieces of which he placed carefully upon
the wounds making them adhere like
plasters. The apparently dead snake
Immediately began to revive, and soon
recovered his power of locomotion and
crawled away into the woods. Have
the snakes doctors? This incident looks
that way.

What ! IN HeiforP

Five bad young men took a heifer to
church in Ephrata, Pa, last Sunday
evening. The animal was about one and
a half years old. One of the men caught
it around the neck, two others by the
shoulders, two by the hind quarters, and
one took hold of its tail and gave it an
extra twist. The heifer was very much
scared, and its "bawl" was very low
and unnatural. Suddenly, springing
open the door, they gave the heifer VIC
lent push and twist of the tail, and the
brute yelled terribly az it showed its
white face in the centre aisle. The
women screamed, and the brave men of
the congregation jumped up to put the
animal out. The Methodist minister
said it was not the devil, but a heifer.
THE Prince Imperials saddle, with
the holster torn away, has been brought
to Chiselhurst and carefully examined.
An Euglishman, Lord Gerard, says that
the young Frenchman was a nimble
horseman, and tells how one day, riding
with him in the country, the prince
sprang up and stood on his saddle and
thence vaulted into tree under which
they were passing.

"THE American heroine is in the air,
a new product like some rare orchid.
No woman was ever injured by too much
education, though some have insulted it
by making it appear pedantry; Others
have called an unsexed strong-minded-
ness learning, but that was because they
did not know quite enough. No learned
woman will ever forget that to be charm
ing is the highest accomplishment. No
American heroine will ever forget, how.
ever she may study or work, that she is
to be the bright consummate flower of
some mans life, and that to make him
happy was the object for which she was
born. America has created and reared
her rare and beautiful orchid simply
that an American man may pluck it and
wear it next his heart"
