How He Got His Start.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.1
The humble hod-carriers on build
ing in process of erection on Green
street were busilv engaged the other day
in toiling up and down the ladders to the
walls, when a street peddler drove up.
He was a negro, and his horse and
wagon were in state of tottering decay.
The bones of the nag, outlined under the
tufted and withered sun-burned hide,
could readily be traced and counted
He was blind, spawned and hamstrung.
He sighed and tottered as he stumbled
along, dragging the creaking wagon
which clattered behind, with one spring
broken and the bed broken and patched.
There were few sticks of loose wood in
the bottom. The driver, perched up on
the seat, was a fit companion for his
turnout. He stopped few minutes to
watch the weary toilers of the hod and
ladder, and then, as he jerked up his
old nag and staggered off, yelled:
"That's right; work away; work hard
that's how I got my start!''

Just Like a Man.

Letter from an English Army Officer
At Sangua, Central India, when I was
stationed there I had little monkey
that was exceedingly fond.of swimming
and diving. One day, on taking him to
the pond at the bottom of my compound,
he jumped off of my shoulder and dived,
like man, into the water, which was
three or four feet deep. He had his
chain on at the time, and when he dived
in the chain caught in some grass or
root at the bottom and kept the monkey
down. He was just able to come to the
come to the surface of the water. Feel
his chain had caught, he dived down I'M
did the chain, and continued to swim
with the chain in his hand He swan
just like a man, as far as I could see
from the motion of his arms. Several of
my brother officers came to see him
swim, of which he was very fond, and
very quietly and cunningly trying to
catch the frogs that low floating ON the
top of the water.

Cobblers who Have Gone Beyond Their
Last.
From the New York Tines

From the New York Times.J
No one but a shoemaker thought Cole
ridge serious in his strange saying that
the shoemaker's bench had produced
more eminent men than any other handi-
craft. The Shoe and Leather Re
porter has, however, compiled a "bill
of particulars in the shape Of list of
famous cobblers which seems to act as
an effectual estoppel on all jealous
craftsmen. Hans Christian Andersen,
who needs no introduction, may head
the list. and Hans Sachs, of Nuremberg,
who, though he made shoes all his life,
yet also made 5000 poems, plays, farces,
and rhyming tables, may be put next.
Sir Cloudesley Shovel was shoemaker
until he enlisted in the navy, and so was
Sir Christopher Minis, another English
admiral John Hewson, one of Crom-
wells colonies, and signer of Charles
|. S death-warrant; Samuel Bradburn,
the Demosthenes of Methodism," as
well as bishop; James Lackinton,
whose catalogue of publications reached
the total-enormous for that time-of
80, 900 volumes In 1797-all these were
cobblers at first, if not at the last. Con-
tinuing the English list, William Clifford
whose memory is preserved by compli-
mentary allusion in Byron's "English
Bards and Scotch Reviews" and whose
body is buried in Westminster Abbey;
George Fox, the arch-Quaker; William
Carey, missionary famous a century
ago, and who read the proofs of the
Bible in twenty seven Oriental lam
guages; Samuel Drew, "the Lock of
the nineteenth century," whose expe-
rience as an author led him to formulate
the sad truth that 8" the man who makes
shoes is sure of his wages, but the man
who makes books is never sure of any
thing" Thomas Holcroft, whose name
is not nearly so well known as that of a
single one of his plays, "The Road to
Ruin" the Bloomfield brothers, whom
Byron thus apostrophized:-
aye tuneful cobblers still your notes prolong
Compose at once slipper and song;"
John Pounds, whom school children
cried at being turned away from-all
these, and lesser lights too numerous to
mention, were English shoemakers. Com
ing to our own country, Roger Sherman,
one OF the "signers, lead the list in
time, but Vice-President Henry Wilson
in rank. Besides these were congress-
men Sheffey and Noah Worcester, not
the photographer, but hefounder Of the
Massachusetts Peace society. And ex-
Governors III. P. Bald win of Michigan
and William Clahin of Massachusetts.
if theynever made shoes, atleast dealt in
them largely enough to be named here.
Altogether, the list is sufficiently i'm
posing and convincing tojustify YER
dictin favor of Coleridge's saying.

Customs Which Did not Agree.

Labouchere saye: "An English lady
accustomed to travelling abroad and able
to converse fuently in the languages of
the countries she visited, recently found
herself alone in railway carriage in
Germany, when two foreigners entered
with pipes in their mouths, smoking
strong tobacco furiously. She quietly
told them in their own language that it
was not smoking carriage, but they
persisted in continuing to smoke, re
marking that it was the custom of the
country, upon which the lady took from
her pocket a pair of gloves and COM
menced cleaning them with benzoline.
Her fellow-p passengers expressed their
disgust at the nauseous eff1uvium, when
she remarked that +" it was the custom Oh
her country She was soon left in sole
possession of the carriage"

CONVERSE WITH NATURE.
BY WORDSWORTH.

Happy j. the man who lives to understand
Not human nature only, but explores
ALI natures to the end, that he may ind
The law that governs each; and where begins
The union, the partition where, that makes
Kind and degree among all visible beings:
The constitution, powers ard faculties
Which they inherit-canpot step beyond
And cannot fall beneath; that do assign
To every class it's station and it's Office
Through all the mighty commonwealth of thugs,
Up from the creeping plant to sovereign man.
Such converse, directed by meek
Sincere and humble spirit, teaches love:
For knowledge is delight, and such delight
Breeds love; yet suited as it rather is
To thought and to the climbing intellect.
1t touches less tolove than to adore,
II that be not, indeed, the highest lore.

The Terra Mine Disaster

.Deadwood, d. T., 2O.-The nine
men which had been imprisoned in
the mine since Z o'clock last even
ing, were all rescued this afternoon
at o'clock. None of them sus-
tanned any injuries. This leaves
only three, Thomas Green, James
Farley and James Beakey, killed,
and five slightly injured. Farley
was single man. Beakey leaves a
wife and family, who are now en-
route to the Hills. Green also leaves
wife and five children. The work
of clearing the tunnel out is pro-
crossing rapidly and it is thought
by Sunday the mine will be entirely
clear, although no delay has been
occasioned by the accident. Sub
scriptions for the relief of the home
less and destitute have been called
for by the press of the Hills and peo-
pie have responded literally. The
disaster has been the principal topic
of conversation to-day and there are
many conjectures as to the cause,
but no blame can possibly attach
either to the company or anyone
else. The prompt and heroic efforts
of the managers of the mine and
volunteers, to rescue their fellow
laborers, is deserving of the highest
praise.
