BLASTING WITHOUT DRETIs.-An Aus
trian engineer has discovered new
method of disintegrating rocks. The
chief feature of his system is to EN-
ploy hollow cylinder like a gas-pipe,
and tn place dynamite cartridge, not
as heretofore in hole bored into the
rock, but in the cylinder in question
The cartridge only touches the sur
face Of the rock which 1t is desired to
shatter. The explosion Of the dyna-
mite is effected by means of electrici-
". and the effect is said to be greater
than the usual cartridge in the hole
bored in rock. The rock is shat
tered into fragments SO small that
fair stream is able to wash them away
without help, whereas in the case Q:
gunpowder the rock is only split up
in blocks more or less troublesome To
remove. The system IS calculated -
effect 4 saving of fully 40 per cent a.
compared with the old system.

MINING NOTES.

they will not be idle during the winter,
As it is the intention of mine owners
to keep the roads on both mountains
open. as the yield of several Of the
mines will warrant the expense.
Some exceedingly rich ore has late
~ been encountered in the War Eagle
and about 3n0 tons will shortly be re-
duced at the company's mill, that will
pay handsomely. The mine, wa have
often stated, is good property that
can be made to pay we'll; but consid-

that is accomplished the development

pieces Of ore recently taken out that

Superintendent Kellogg informs Us
that the rich ore encountered in the
Owyhee winze still continues to go
down, and indicates that there is
body Of it. These two
mines aud the 20-stamp mill owned by
the Boston company form property
of which the owners may justly be
proud, and one that will ere long
greatly assist to make this lively
camp.
The Empire State IS yielding more,
and better ore, than ever before.
Teams are now hauling quartz from it
to Scales Il Wagner's arastra, where
it is being reduced, and within a few
days there will be a $4,000 shipment
of Empire State bullion. Wm. H.
Dewey, tue owner Of the mine, has
leased Leonard's mill for year, and
in future will reduce the ore there, OF
as much Of it as the mill can get away
with, and many q thousand dollars
will be put into circulation from the
Empire State within the next twelve
months.
At the Dubuque the tunnel is being

Dick started and looked back quickly.
He was almost sure he had heard low
grunt in the direction of the corpse, and
a slight rustic of the Counterpart. But
no: everything looked as before, and
perfect silence reigned. His ears must
have deceived him.
''You re a smart fellow, Dick" he said,
commendingly, tapping his not ever
well developed forehead - you're a
smart fellow, there's no denying it. It's
not every one who would have thought
of altering that check as did when 1
found it lying on Uncle Dads desk,
trusting to the old fools sealing it up
without noticing the change"
This time there was no doubt as to the
movements of the corpse. Springing up
it caught Dick by the collar and shook
him till his teeth chartered.
"You thought was dead, did you?"
roared Uncle Dad, in tone that made
Dick tremble. ga fine story, indeed, if,
at my time of life, man meeting with

in honor of the occasion, can't tumble

his room to sleep off his spree, without

order his funeral and take possession of
his property! So it was you, you scoun-

clearly defined and his instinct is
quite as aggressive and prehensile
as in the case of the vcrtablc

Yet Englismen, when they have been
hopelessly distanced by the canny

A Chinese Court.

At Shanghai. says the Pail Mall Ga
zette, where we and some other European
nations and the United States have estab-
lishments, natives are dealt with by what
is called mixed court" It is so called,
no doubt, because European or Ameri-
can consul or other resident sits with the
Chinese Judge; but in other respects it
has little pretention to its title, for its
course of procedure and its punishments
appear to be of Chinese barbarism, I'M
mixed with any European sense of hui
manity. Thus, u prisoner who refuses to
divulge the names of his accomplices, is
ordered to receive fifty blows on the face;
and il these administered apparently on
the spot fail to overcome his contumacy
another fifty may be ordered. Beating
the ankles with hammers, and kneeling
on chains with feet braced up, are other
methods of persuasion which are en-
ployed by this mixed tribunal, graced as
it is by the countenance and sanction of
an officer of some great Christian power.
According to tabulated report, pre-
pared by Mr.. E. Parry. for the Supreme
court and Consular Gazette" the pun
ishment consists of terrible fioggings, or
else of the cangue, or heavy table, in
which the wearer's neck is inclosed, and
which prevents him from lying down or
feeding himself. That such practices
should go on from years end to years
end with the placid acquiescence Of in
fiuential European communities seems
hardly credible. 1t is to be hoped, at
all events, that they will not long sur
vive the publicity which Mr.. Parry has
given them. IT the European assessor
is to sit on the judgment seat. simply to
give the countenance of civilization and
Christianity to the stupid and horrible
barbarities of the Chinese--to concur
with a mandarin in administering blows
on the mouth or hammering the ankles
of prisoners who refuse to confess or
to "peach" sooner he is removed
from SO shameful post the better for
himself and the civilized power which
he represents.

Hunting Cats.

No. was she cat of the gray brin-
died kind, which / believe is the Scottish
breed. She, like Nimrod, was mighty
hunter. Hares, rabbits and partridge
all fell victims to her sporting propensl-
ties. What is remarkable, is that what
ever she killed she invariably brought
home and laid at her mothers feet. If
they were worth keeping, as they often
were, they were appropriated, while
Pussy sang her song OF pleasure; if they
back to her, and she devOured them
lifted and then thrown down to her
again. She was fond of fish, but, unlike
other cats, she was willing to wet her
feet for them. Often has she been
watched sitting on the burn-bank
until trout came within reach,
when down went her paw and out
came the trout almost without fail. No.
5 was Tom-cat, red and white. Like
No. l, he was mighty hunter. At first
he brought the fruits of his chase home,
but afterward became more selfish and
devoured what he could on the spot.
What was left he kept hidden until it
was required. Perhaps, your readers
may consider what follows about him as
incredible, but it is fact, nevertheless.
He seemed to become weary of the lying
in-wait process Of catching game, and &C.
tually endeavored to run down hares by
speed of foot. Ever after that we CON
sidered him as having "a want" He

"That you cease smoking until give

"Never! I'd rather let the thing kill

unless one can smoker"
The doctor was O smoker himself and
