were distinguishable. The reporter was in
formed that this was the smoke of the candles
by the light of which the men work in the
shaft. Fifteen or eighteen pounds of can.
dies are consumed by them in day, and the
smoke they create is great hindrauce to the
work, although only the very best adamantine
coach lights are used: The electric lights,
which emit neither smoke nor heat, will soon
be used in the place of candles. One light
over the we'll and one in the shaft will supply
all the illumination that is needed. Work
in the tunnel never ceases. 1t is prosecuted
by three gangs, each gang working eight
hours Sometimes the men eat their meals
in the shaft, but as often they come out and
spend half an hour on the earth's surface.
Theirs is no dainty work. The earth they dig
out is mixed with water in the bottom Of the
shaft, and when it has reached certain
depth and consistency, it is blown out into the
great brick well by the air pressure in the
shaft through pipes that lie at the bottom
of the excavation, and that are built out
to follow the workmen as they extend the
shaft. Whenever it is necessary this mud is
bailed out of the we'll to make way for more.
AS the tunnel is now it has the shape of a
gigantic bottle, the air-lock taking the place
Of cork in the bottles neck. The neck of
the bottle is formed by the narrow bore that
was gradually widened until the permanent
diameter of twenty. one feet was reached. As
the excavators work they are closely follow
ed by men who line the shaft with plates of
riveted iron, and these in turn are followed by
masons who construct the arched brick-work
that forms the tunnel wall. Nearly one hun
dred feet of the permanent tunnel have been
completed. No date is set for the beginning
of the work on the New York side of the
riyer.-New York Sun, 9Th.

FOOtprints In the Desert.

On the prospecting trip to the north
east of San Bcrnardino, about one hun
bred miles from which Barney Carter
and j. G. Reed have just returned, they
discovered the spot where George }. Lee,
well known in San Bernardino as n vet
eran prospector, met violent and sudden
death at the hands of II party OF Chime
hueva Indians. Mr.. Lee left San Ber-
nardino last summer to explore this
unknown country, and, months clapslng
without his return, his friends appre-
hended that some calamity had befallen
him, and search was made for him. A
popularity of the soil there retains any
imprint on its surface for ages (the wagon
wheels track of q Government surveying
expedition in 1854 can be seen there to-
day., and the old mans tracks were dis
covered and traced for days, but nothing
definite was found. On their last trip
Mcintosh and Carter followed his foot
prints, and came to the spot where he
was killed Some bloody clothing lay on
the ground, and on examination showed
that Mr. Lee had been walking leisurely
along when party OF Indians In ambush
behind some bushes fired upon him; he
reeled and sank, digging his elbow into
the soft earth land may that impression
remain till the judgment day as an evil
dence against his cowardly murderers).
The Indians then revealed themselves,
and placing his body on horse carried
it off into the mountains. Single pros
pectors are in peril Of their lives in
trayersing this region both from the row
ing bands of Indians and the danger OF
being lost and dying from starvation and
thirst. San BerndrdinO (Cdt) Times.

OdLErHoRPE (Ga.) Echo: Some time
since Patsy Grigsby, an old mulatto
woman of Lexington, came to lawyer
and told him that she had sure proof
that certain woman had murdered her
husband, and she wanted the case prose-
cuted. Upon being asked to give her
evidence, Patsy replied that the night
before Christ had come into her cabin
and told her all about it; that she knew
it was the Savior, for her apparition was
as white as snow, and had three little
heads growing upon its breast Cher crude
idea of the Trinity. To Aunt Patsy
was explained the difficulty in getting
her celestial visitor to appear in M
earthly court as a witness, and told
her that she must confine her case
to humber testimony. Many negroes

Good Words for the Skunk.

A fuller acquaintance with the habits
of the skunk would lead us to consider it
one of our most valuable friends. We
make our first acquaintance with it,
however, through the sense OF smell, or
the death of young chickens and ducks,
Of which the skunk is very fond. The
intense odor of the skunk is oppressive,
and it makes its presence known in n way
that is unique and searching. While
the fragrance of the skunk is sui generis
and overpowering, it is not damaging
MS that from sewers and sinks and neg
lected potato bins and cabbage pits.
Judging the latter from odor alone, they
must be condemned more surely than the
odoriferous skunk. We know the uses
of potatoes and cabbages, and think of
their good qualities. But not so with
the skunk. Let us see if we cannot
afford to endure them on the farm, and
allow them an occasional chicken or duck
for change of diet. The skunk is pre-
eminently an insectivorous animal. He
diligently pursues his calling at night
when insects are most abundant, and
when his enemies, dogs and men, are
asleep. He devours even the Colorado
potato-bug (dcceno-tineata), and finds a
rich morsel III the strawberry grub
| UachoneStra). He makes hearty meals
on cut-worms, and gorges himself with
white grubs, the larvae Of the May
beetle, which he roots after in the loose
sod, or the decaying hay or straw about
stack yards. He plows through the
litter and leaves gathered in the hooks
and corners of the fields, which are the
coverts and breeding-places of the
myriads of clinch bugs. He reaches
millions of enemies in secluded places
which man cannot reach with the pillow,
or rake, or fire. We may clear the litter
and trash from our fields, but the cor
ners and fcnce-rows harbor the enemy
we try to destroy. A kind providence
has sent to our aid this half-domestic
animal that seems to increase like the
Norway rat in populated districts, and
for the common reason that his food Is
moro abundant there. We wish we
could see some like compensation in the
presense of the rat, but science has not
yet revealed it, and American civilization
has not, like Chinese, found use for it..
The skunk, unlike the rat, pays as he
goes We can afford to take care Of the
chickens and ducks and let the skunks
multiply. Build the walls of our porches
and dwellings so the skunks can not get
under them, and they will keep at such a
distance from our homes as not to Of
fcnd us. The old Greek motto, "Know
thysclf, " is good one, and it suggests n
good one for us, Farmer know thy
friends. "A Farmer, IN Cincinnati

Laying on Fat.

We have complaints from England
that the beef which we send there is not
sufficiently "mottled to suit the tastes
of the English consumers, that the fat is
laid on too much in compact masses,
which has to be cut away for tallow and
thus causing too much waste. We had
supposed that the opposite of this was
the rule, that the English-fed beef was
much fatter than the American, but now
the tables seemed to be turned against
lis, and American beef is charged with
carrying too much tallow; not, they say,
that it really contains more fat, hut that
it is not distributed as evenly ms the fat,
in the English beef, and hence the result
named. The Americans run their stock
along for few years, then commence
feeding heavily with corn, converting
lean animal, in few months, into a very
fat one. Such an animal has light
muscle, and the corn lays on the fat
heavily, while the English beef is fatted,
in great measure, on their rich pas
lures, and till the time it is slaughtered
it is kept in fattening condition the
whole time, one object only being in
view-to place it upon the market ready
for slaughter. Linseed meal is fed
heavily, but this contains large amount
of flesh-forming matter as well as being
n fat producer. 1t seems that mistake
has been made in this matter. The de-
mand was for fat beef and without con-
sidering where the fat was wanted, we
went to work and put it in the wrong
place
Do not let lis run into error in this re-
spect and say that it is the fastidious
taste of the Englishman, for if we intend
to supply him with beef we must con-
suit his taste. We must not say it Is his
prejudice. This avails us nothing, for il
he is prejudiced we must conquer his
prejudice by meeting his wants. But
this complaint of piling the fat upon the
animal in Jumps does not come from
England alone. Our own marketmen in
the city of Boston, and other cities, make
similar complaints, not only with regard
to beef but also of mutton and pork
The breeds of sheep which in England
are noted for nothing their meat do not
do so in this country, and the breed of
hogs which are there so highly priced
for hams and shoulders lose that poculi-
arity here. They want the notified hams
and shoulders and deep cuts of lean
meat, with n small amount of outside fat.
Their middles are cured for bacon, which
requires a strip of fat and another of
lean. Here the demand for middlings
for the pork barrel is that they should be
all fat, and in order to procure solid,
fatted middlings, we, in great measure,
injure both shoulders and hams. This
is a difficulty with pigs slaughtered fs
fresh pork, too much attention being
given to fat, and to little to lean. The
pigs should be fed with more hesh-pro-
ducing matter and less corn-more
clover, shorts, and malt dust, mixed with
fair share of corn. Commence fatten-
ing the steer as soon as he ceases to be a
calf, and be sure and keep the calf well;
do the same with the wethers, and we
shall have meat which will not only suit
the English market, but our own.

Out of one dollar bill "a" he clips a
piece through the head of Washington
three-eighths of an inch wide, and cut
with artistic irrcgularity. The two ends
of the bill are brought little closer to-
gether than they were before the piece
was taken out, and rough continuation
of the lines of the head is made with
ink upon the white surface of the gum,
med paper beneath. The bill is then
artistically dirticd, and is ready for shov-
ing. Bill "B" is then taken up, and n
section three quarters of an inch, or
twice as large as that taken out of "a" is
then removed; the piece taken out of
ga" is then inserted between the two
ends of "B,' the pasting, mixing and
dirtying repeated, and this bill is also
ready for the market. A section an iuch
and half wide is then removed from
&C." and the three-quarters cut from
"B" let in, and so the process is con-
tinued, each bill, instead Of its true
length of seven and three-quarter inches,
being only seven inches. The first one
is the most dangerous, because it is hard
to doctor up the head of the Father Of
his Country in way that tine children Of
the same will not recognize the old
gentleman, and hence this bill is left the
longest of the lot.
It is easy to see that out of every nine
bills there is an extra bill left over,
making ten dollars for nine. Working
as hard as he could, Mr.. Hill could not
have made more than from three to five
dollars per day-rather small sum for
the risk he ran, MS it was necessary to
shove fifty of the mutilated dollars to
make five.

The Lost Well.

In the Sahara desert only few wells
are found they are looked upon with
reverence as the gift of God. 1t Is not,
as some suppose, vast flat region, but
interspersed with mountains rocks OF
vast size are as common as sand NO
country is so difficult to traverse, for
there are no landmarks the only trace
a caravan leaves is the bones of the
horses or camels that die by the way.
Those who travel the desert carry water
and food enough to last them from well
to well ; and, if they lose the route, they
all usually perish.
An old legend tells us that certain
tribe had found well among the noun
tains, and around it they lived in per
feet happiness. The summer months
they passed on the banks of the Nile. 1t
was so curiously hidden that it was i'm
possible to find it except in this way :
One of the tribe stayed all summer
there, and on a certain day watched for
the return of the others they having
arrived at certain white, camel-shaped
mountain, made q fire, and the watcher
seeing this, built one on his mountain !;
thus were they guided to'the oasis.
At one time the tribe returned and
built fire, but no response was elected !;
they waited, they sought for the path,
but all in vain, and they were obliged to
return to Egypt, losing from hunger
and thirst very large number OF the
tribe; the secret of the approach to tho
well had disappeared; it existed only In
tradition.
Nearly 100 years passed, and young
man having escaped from the oppression
of the chief, made his way into the
mountains. He travelled three days in
search of we'll, wandering among the
valleys; finally he was obliged to as
cend a mountain of dazzling Wilderness.
He remembered the tradition-it was
shaped like camel. Looking there, he
deserted in the far distance what looked
like the green tops of some palm trees.
Toward these he pressed. almost over
come with heat, thirst and WEAKNESS.
II was beautiful spot; the palm trees
had grown luxuriantly and tall only an
aged man resided here, surrounded with
a species of antelope. He was the
watcher who had been left. he had
been unable to build the fire, having
fallen from the rocks. Nor could he
find the way out. Since then stones
have been set up to mark the way

A Sad Change.

A manufacturing population tends
steadily downward, at least to fearfully
low level
1t was long supposed that the United
States were going to prove the exception
in this respect. Thirty years ago our
factory girls were above the average Of
females in intelligence, refinement, be-
nevolence and general character.
Indeed, many Of them were simply ac-
cumulating means for the completion of
their education at the higher seminaries.
Dickens and other English travellers
looked on them with amazement. The
Lowell O6cring, n magazine conducted
wholly by the operatives, commanded
universal esteem.
But already this happy condition is
passing away. The greed Of corporations
asks only for profits. Nomatter how low
the grade of workers, provided only the
work is done. The life may he early
crushed out of the employed, but are not
their places kept always full?
The poorer and more dependent they
are, the more ready they will be to let
their children work in the mill, when
they should be at school, or out In the
sunshine at play. If things go on as they
are now, it is only n question OF time
when the manufacturing population OF
New England shall be as hopelessly de-
graded as that of Old England.
1t is evident that it behoOves the State
to stand between the corporations and
their operatives. 1t owes this to its own
welfare. 1t can not do everything, but
what it can it should do with strong
hand and persistent will.
1t can secure to children their right to
n proper education, and their exemption
from labor that shall dwarf them in body
and brain. 1t can limit the hours OF
labor for all to what is physically safe;
It can, by means Of honest and qualified
inspectors, keep a sharp eye on all the
inherent abuses Of the system. - Youths
