DESCENDING THE HUMBOLT MINE.

ENTERINGa a rough wooden building,
IL you see steam-engine turning an
immense drum, around which is coiled
wire rope. On chair sits, with each
hand on lever, the bright, watchful en-
gineer, his eyes fixed on the drum, now
nearly covered with the coil. In another
minute, click the machinery has stop
ped, and out of an opening in front, like
Harlequin in Christmas pantomime,
has come grimy figure, who stands
there smiling at you, with lamp fixed
on the front of his cap, and his feet on
the rim of great iron bucket. He steps
off, the bucket is emptied of the load,
not of rich ore, but of very dirty water,
which it has brought up, and there is an
air of expectancy among the workmen,
and an inquiring smile on the face of
Mr.. Thornton, the superintendent
Something is clearly expected of you,
for IL is established that you are not
what is called by the miners "speci-
men fiend," or unmitigated sample-col-
lecting nuisance, and it is assumed that
when you came hither to investigate you
"meant business" You take the hint,
and follow Mr.. Thornton to room,
where, amid good deal of joking, you
put on some clothes-and such clothes
If you have one spark of personal vani-
ty, call hope abandon, ye who enter
here" for even your kind guide has to
turn away to hide smile when he sees
you in overalls which will not meet in
front, and are precariously tied with
ragged string, and ancient flannel shirt,
the sleeves of which hang in tatters
around your wristbands, and cap which
might have come over in the Nay
Fgo,per, and has smoky lamp hooked
into its fast decomposing visor. AS you
approach the mouth of the shaft, the
engineer genially remarks that there
saint much danger" and when the
bucket has come up and been partially
emptied, the by-standers repeatedly ad-
wise you to be careful about getting in.-
AS you climb perilously over the side,
you think of the Frenchman who,
starting in the fox-hunt, cried out:
" Take noteece, mes amis, Eat / leaf
everything to my !" And when you
are crouched down so that Mr.. Thorn
ton can stand on the rim above, you do
not think at all, but know, that you are

A Darkey Describes a Shell.

ONE day, down in the Peninsula,
" after Mcclellan IS battles, wounded
darkey was brought into camp. He
had been shot in the leg with piece of
shell and was really very badly hurt.
He was plantation negro and entirely
non-combatant. After he got better,
he was describing to the doctor one
afternoon how he had been hurt, and
did 1t in this manner;
Ye see, Boss, / was OIL de ole plan
tation when dem Yankee gun-boats dey
cum up de ribber. Ole Massa and Misses
had done gone days afore and we niggers
were lef on de plantation. When we
see de Yankees comm up de ribber
we all run away and hid in de woods.
By-um-by de boats begin to shell de
woods and Lor massa what noise dey
did make. Shells as big as flour barrels
were frowed into de wood and knocked
de trees down. 1t was awful hot, tell
you, and / thought de world was d
comm to de end. De niggers prayed,
but it didn't do no good, as de Yankees
only frowed de more shells, and de Lord
seemed deaf to de partitions of de collud
persons. Some of dem shells would go
high up in de air and say, 'Whar is he?
whar is he p like as if dey was lookin'
70 somebody. Den, by-um- by dey would
say, see him, 1 see him, and wild dat
would bust and all de little pieces go
skirmishin' around de woods after de
niggers. 1t was one of desc little pieces
dat kotch me in de leg, and dat's how
got hurt. 1t was a powerful warm
day, Massa, a powerful warm day, /

Hours And Minutes. .

Why is one hour divided into sixty
minutes and each minute again into
sixty seconds? Why not divide our
time as we do our money, by tens, count
ing ten, or fifty, or one hundred min
utes to the hourY The answer is this:
We have sixty divisions on the dials
of our clocks and watches, because the
old Greek astronomer, Hipparchus, who
lived in the second century before Christ,
accepted the babylonia9 system OF reck-
oning time, that system being sexigesi-
NAL. The Babylonians were acquainted
with the decimal system; but for COM
mon and practical purposes, they count
ed by sossi and sdri, the sossos, repre-
senting sixty, and the sarOs, sixty times
sixty, is thirty six hundred. From Hip
parchus, that mode of reckoning found
its way into the works of Ptolemy,
about $50 A. D., and thence was carried
down the stream Of science and civiliza-
ton, and found its way to the dial plates
of our clocks and watches.

This Farmey SmytEe said, patting his
young friend on the shoulder in q very
friendly way.
Jeremy said he would remain week
or two and then return home, as no
doubt his parents were anxious about
him.
AT the end of a month Jeremy started
homeward with his great heart over
flowing with happiness. He and Hep
talina had made contract for life. Just

five miles, and as soon as he was in
sight of the old homestead his father
and mother both hastened to meet
him, and rain tears of love on his
neck.
Jeremy was reminded of the account
given of the Prodigal Son, still was
aware that their cases varied, as he had
not wasted much in riotous living.
Nor was the fatted calf killed, although
the joy of those parents heart was great
at his return, for Jeremy had been a
good, obedient boy and was all their
dependence.
He could not gather courage at first,
to tell them of his engagement to
Heptalina, but when he did he was told
by them both that the old house should
be enlarged, and that they would all live
and die in the same place.
Thus Jeremy resumed his labor on the
old farm, never leaving it again to
secure an agency. After haying he
brought home his bride, and all went

wAsuIscroS, Oct. IA profound sensa-
ton has been created in the post Office de-
partment by the discovery that large sub
sidy to the Pacific Mail Company had been
smugsled through Congress. Last Water,
Davis, of California, was anxious to have
provision made by which a certain portion
OF the price paid. the United States for trans
continental transportation of mails be re-
funded to the New Zealand and New South
Wales colonies. These colonies. it was
said, had nothing to do with it, as the money
was paid by England, amounting to $SO,0O0
yearly The colonies were poor and under
contract to pay the Pacific Mail $4,000 q
year, but could not afford to renew 1t. If
the $50, 900 is turned drcyer to the colonies, it
would be clear gift, as the scheme Is
nothing more than a subsidy to the line.
