one such thread to our feet, Snd it will be
found to be shining wire rope, worn
white with constant use. And here on the
edge or brim, called, as we know, the
reef" we find scene of life and labor
even more animated than ,below. All
around, but chiefly on two opposite sides,
is erected strong framework of timber
called the staging" estimated to have cost
$26O, 600. 1t is built In three tiers, like a
c-story house, and each tier is hoored
to afford standing room for laborers. Firm.
ly set all along each tier of this staging are
hundreds OF wooden wheels about four
feet in diameter, with crank on each side,
to be turned by four Katfirs The iron
ropes run from every part of the circumfer-
ence, but lffcr greatly in length, some
extending vertically down the recf, some
'tar out into the centre of the mine, and
others to varying intermediate distances,
but each to its own claim. Such rope il
stretched from the bearings of each wheel
on the staging to Its corresponding claim
below, where 1t is made fast to post sunk
firmly in the ground. Thus, wheel, a
wire rope and ''clalm," he it only six
teenth, are inseparablc, and equal in num-
Der. On these wire ropes the ''bluc stuff"
is hauled in buckets by aid OF the windlass,
up out Of the mine.

SONGS or THE SOUL.

Oh the wonderful songs t at never are sung
With words Of an outward token;
But 60 sing ng themselves for aye in the soul
In language that never is spoken.
Songs that are sWeeter than pools or penned: /:
All their power aud beauty excelling;
With melody purer and tenderer far
Than the notes that their numbers are swell
Ing.
Songs every true love sings to his love,
Born Of hts deep-hidden feeling;
suotl ss sing themselves low In the pure
maiden's breast,
For fear OF an outward revealing
Songs that the mother-heart sings to the babe
In peace on her bosom reclining;
That give spir voice to her hopes and her
fears.
Tender beyond al defiaing
Wild, thrilling songs, that awake every chord
When tha soul is exullsnt with gadness;
That Sigh through Its chambers like voices OF
night
When they utter Its burden and sadness;
That br athe through the spirit with soft whis.
peri"g notes,
Like winds over june roses sghing
When passion is stillod and peace reigns
within,
suoh songs are sung through all the wide
world
And never oncs known are the singers,
But their mu 10 IL echo d from heart into
heart,
And It's sweetness and power ever lngers
And but for the singing Of suoh voiceless
songs,
In souls filled with hoping and longing,
Oh! dreary indeed would be the dark road
Esrth's children are hurliediy thronginY.
70 many the poets whose number arc formed
IN the unwritten language OF spirit
While few are the ones who in words tho lips
frame
Tho power to express them inherit;
And rare Is the voice that ia perfectly tuned
When VIZ rds are the outward token,
But never a eoul but oan sweet music make
In tho language that never is spoken.

FungOid Origin OF Wh0Oping Cough.

1t Is worthy of note that the funguid
origin of whooping cough, asserted some
years since by NJ. Svctzcrich, seems to be
confirmed by the researches of NJ. Yschmar,
who states that he has found certain lower
organisms IN the spittle of whooping cough
organisms not met with in any
other disease accompanied by cough and
expcctoration. He asserts, further, that
the organisms In question are identical with
those which, by their agglomeration, form
the black points on the skins Of oranges and
the pairing of certain fruits, especially ap-
pies. Thus. NJ. Yschmar, by inoculating
rabbits with this dark matter, or even caus-
ing IL to be inhaled by men, produced fits
OF coughing several days in duration, and
presenting In every respect the peculiar
characteristics of the convulsive whooping
cough.

A South African Diamond Minos

From whatever direction ono comes from
the surrounding plain, the most prominent
sight Is tho lofty range of sand mounds,
rising up from out the centre of the town
and overtopping everything. These are
composed OF earth from the original thirteen
surface acres of the Kimberly mine, and
thrown up from around the edge of tho
gradually deeponed pit, just as tho ant on
smaller scale piles up circular ridge
around Its hole. BY diamond "mine" In
Africa is meant pipe of several acres s,,-
pericial area and unknown depth, running
straight down through stratifed layers of
shalc Each pipe, and there arc only four,
is filled In to the level of the general sur
face Of the plain with sand, tufa, and q
diamond-bcaring breccia or soft rock. The
Kimberly pipe or mine has now been ex-
cavated to depth Of about two hundred
and fifty feet. Most of the streets of the
town converge to it. We walk to tho edge
OF rocks which surrounds it, called the
'reefs," and before and beneath us extends
All abyss--a huge oval-shaped caldron---
open full to the skies. Over Its edge lies a
sheer descent Of two hundred and flfty
feet across 1t, from side to side a stretch
OF q thousand feet, or fifth Of O miie.
Coming even as one does from the life and
stir OF the town, the first look into the mine
Is fascinating and bewildering one. Lit
tie by little the facts unfold and steal upon
the attention. One talks to his neighbor as
to a deaf man, for stead hum or roar fills
the Air, chiefly made up of human voices
and the whlr OF buckets ascending and de-
scending on their wire ropes. Ten thous-
and men are working below and around US,
In the pit and around Its edge. All is in
plain eight, for there Is no burrowing under

Voices Of Animals.

Even IN animals, there Is marked char.
acter Of voices. I have observed that the
bravest and largest wild animals always
have deep voices, and that they are gener.
ally melodious, full Of music, rs 1t were,
while the small fry, which would run from
a common cur, have high, sharp voices.
The bravest hunte Of the West have heavy
tones as a rule, and ! deduce from thi,
that the highest order of animals, those
that were brave and daring, were also deep
IN voice, and that their intonationa never
Jared on tho ear. Deep.toned men are
generally braver than those possessing light
voices.

NEW YORK, July I3.-The following
letter, without preface. Just received:
To Gen. Hancock, July 18th, 1880:
SIR-The national convention of the
Democratic party, which assembled at
Cincinnati on the 22d of last month, unan-
imously nominated you as their candidate
for president of the United States. We
have been directed to inform you of your
nomination for this exalted trust, and
request your acceptance, in accordance
with the uniform custom OF the Demo
cratic party. The convention have
announced their views upon the impor-
tant issues which are before the country,
10 a series of resolutions, to which we invite
your attention. The resolutions embody
the general principles upon which the
Democratic party demand that the govern
ment shall be conducted. and they also
EN- phatically condemn the maladminis-
tration By the party in power. its crimes
against the constitution. and especially
against the right of the people to choose
and install their president. which have
wrought SO much injury and dishonor to
our country. That which chiefly inspired
your nomination was the fact that you
had conspicuously recognized and exempH.

ple for reconciliation and brotherhood
under the shield of the constitution, with
all its jealous care, and guarantees for the
rights Of persons and of states. Your
nomination was not made alone because,
in midst Of arms you illustrated the high
est qualities of the soldier. but because
when war had ended and when, in recoe-
nition of your courage aud fidelity you
we're placed in command Of a part of the
union undergoing process OF restoration,
and while you were thus clothed with ab-
solute power, you used it not to subvert but
to sustain the civil laws and rights they
were established to protect. Your fidelity
to those principles manifested in import
ant trusts heretofore conhded in your
care, gives proof that they will control
your administration and OF the national
government. and assures the country. that
one indissoluble union of indestructable
states. and the constitution with it's wise
distribution of power. and regard for the
boundaries of state and federal authority,
will not suffer in your hands; that you
will maintain the subordination of the
military to civil power and will accomplish
the purifcation of the public service, and
especially that government which we love
will be free from the reproaoh or stain OF
sectional agitation or malice in any shape.
or any form. Rejoicing 10 common with
the masses of the American people upon
this bright promise for the future of our
country, we wish also to express to you
personally the assurance of general esteem
and confidence which have summoned you
TO this high duty, and will aid you IN its
performance.
Your fellow citizens,
