A Miners Apathy.

My friend Nickerson told me the
story--a bit of his experience in Corn
wall, England. IN company with .
gentleman of his acquaintance he made
visit to one of the most celebrated OF
the Cornish mines, and though he can
now relate the incident with consider
able relish, we venture the assertion
that his heart was anything but light at
the time. Thus it was:
He had descended to the bottom Of
the mine--I forget how many hundred
feet, and having seen all that was
deemed worth seeing, they prepared
for the return to the upper regions,
Nickerson's comrade went up first.
The ascent was by means Of q bucket,
lifted by common hempen rope, and
only one person could 60 at a time with
the miner who had charge of the prim-
tive vehicle. BY and by it came his
turn to step in. which he did quickly,
for he had been down there in the bow
els of the earth long enough. He stood
upon one side Of the bucket, while the
miner stood upon the other, both grasp
ing the standing part Of the rope.
When two-thirds of the way up Nick
erson observed that the rope was worn
and frayed, seeming, in places, to be
really unsafe. Said lie TO his compan-
ion:
"Say, my friend, Isn't it about time
you had a new rope herep'
The miner nodded assent at once, and
then volunteered the information thai
they made a practice of changing the
old rope for new every three months,
at the furthest; and sometimes, when
the rope has become unusually WORK,
rs was the case at present. they made
| the exchange at an earlier date.
.Mercy!" cried our friend, casting
Mortified glance down into the Stygian
| darkness of the awful abyss below him.
and then looking at terribly demor-
allied section Of the hoisting-rope,
"and when do you intend to put new
rope on heree"
..Wal." answered the miner, as cool
" as could be, Iii we get oop alive,
VII whole rope. She II have new ono
afore she goes doom agin!'
Fancy the feelings OF the visitor dur

The Legend Of Miss Ki.
The Chinese have story answering
very closely to the popular and, as onc
might suppose, national legend Of st.
George and the Dragon. In the East
ern version. however, the conqueror OF
the dragon is q heroine named HI, dis.
tinguishcd for her flial piety and cour-
age. The monster, as the Chinese story
goes, had devoured nine maidens, and
was clamorous for more victims. but
none could be found willing to satisfy
his urgent demands. Then Miss XII OK
pressed her willingness to 60 to the
dread dragons cavern. Armed with .
trusty sword, and accompanied by 2
dog that was accustomed TO attack
snakes. she sailed forth, taking win
her several measures Of boiled rico
mixed with honey which she placed -
the mouth OF the cavern. AT night the
| dragon came forth. its head as large -
| n rice stock, and Its eyes like two mir
urs. two feet across; when. percelving

Meyerbeer and the Goat.

Speaking of Meyerbeer in London we may
state that the illustrious master was exceed
ingly anxious about the goat in "Le Pardon de
Ploermel." He first wanted the one from tn
Sale Favart to be conveyed across the Straits
of Dover, but Messrs. Gye and Aug. Harris de-
clared that there were goats in England, and
that national self-esteem must be respected.
The bridge, the torrent, and the goat must be
thoroughly English. Meyerbeer submitted. A
every rehearsal, however, he asked for his
goat, but, like Sister Anne, saw nothing come.
Messrs. Gye and Harris always replied, phleg-
matically: make your mind easy, NJ. Meyer

Magazine Notices.

The subject of Art, which the public ex-
poets to find treated, in some form, in every
number of Scribner, is represented in the
July number by two papers, by w. G. Brown
ell. One of these is the third of the series on
The Younger Painters OF America, with con-
sideration or illustration of the work of Mr.
Sargent, Mr.. Bunce, Mr.. Maynard, Mr.. Tif-
fany, Mr.. Volk, Miss Oakley, Mrs Whitman,
Miss Bartol, Miss Knewlton, and Miss Cassatt.
The other discusses the much talked of "Dec-
oration-i in the Seventh Regiment Armory. and
is accompanied by numerous and detailed
drawings by Mr.. Brennan of the principal de-
signs in the Veterans Room and the Library.
Politics is represented by first paper on The
Peoples Problem, by Albert Stickney, Esq,
author of A True Republic. In fiction there
are the concluding parts OF Mr.. Cables Mad
anne Delphine and Mr.. Howells's Fearful Re-
sponsibility and "a second installment of hu-
morous folklore of Georgia, under the title A
Rainy Day with Uncle Remus-the fables be-
ing entitled, Mr.. Rabbit Secures Mansion
Mr.. Lion hunts for Mr.. Man, and finds him
The Story of the Pigs-Mr. Benjamin Ram and
his wonderful Fiddle-Mr. Rabbits Riddle.
DR.. Dollinger and the Old Catholic Movement
in Germany is treated candidly by Prof George
P. Fisher, of Yale College. and the fine portrait
of D0llinger, by Lenbach, is engraved by Fred
Juengling, the size of the Scribner page. An
illustrated paper Of special interest is The Sea
Horse (walrus) by Henry w. Elliott, who was
the first to discriminate the Atlantic from the
Pacific species. and who writes fr om intimate
personal knowledge of his subject. OF particu-
lar interest tn Philadelnhians is Mr. Maurice T.
Egan's account of A Day in the Ma'sh--such
being the local name for the swampy resorts OF
rail and reed birds ON the lower part of the
peninsula, between the Delaware and Schuyl-
kill rivers An Old Virgnian, by John Esten
Cooke, is a study of the courtly type Of f. f.
", which, he says, is rapidly passing into =
tory. Railway, Church-yard, and Cemetery
Planting is brief and suggestive illus
trated paper by Samuel Parsons, Jr. Perhaps
the most popular paper in the number is Mr..
Murfree's illustrated and descriptive account Of
The Levees of the Mississippi-a topic which is
just now of special moment to the central and
southern sections OF the country. The writer,
however, does not deal with the economic Or
scientific sides of the subject, but with the "big
water of 1884," the practical construction of the
levees, fighting crevasse, etc. Iu the depart
ments, which have the usual amount and va
rety, mention is made OF discussion of COOP
GRAFTON, by reviewer who thinks America an
unfavorable field for it, sketch of old Now
York Bohemianism, and accounts of an i'm
proved system of ventilation, gas fuel com
bined plow and harrow, etc. Some Sonnets
from the Afghanese appear in Bric-aBrac.
