Two miners, who were prospecting in an
old tunnel, near Auburn, recently had a
curious adventure. While at work in the
tunnel, which is over 200 feet long, they
struck an old shaft, thirty or forty feet
deep, which was filed with water. The
water rushed out with great force, and
carried them out of the tunnel, and down a
bank of thirty feet in hight, bruising them
badly.

A Cup of Tea.

To those who love the beverage that cheers but not inebriates some develop ments of recent case in the Rhode Island courts may prove interesting. A man who had been manager of tea company" was charged swith embez- clement, because he had not made re- turns for some of the goods at the prices fixed by the owner. He pleaded in defence that he had sold eighty cent tea for seventy-fve cents, and sixty cent tea for fifty cents, because the grades called for were not in stock, and besides, the articles sold cost no more than those which had been marked lower. The manager was acquitted :; strangely, however, nothing was done to the owner, although the prices at which he proved to have sold were far higher than any corner grocery would have dared to charge, the selling fig ures gravitating between twice and thrice the cost price, different retail prices being made upon certain grades of equal cost apparently for the sole purpose of seeming to have 8 great as- sortment. All this shows that the dealers have discovered that the public, instead of knowing one cup of tea from another, is so in the habit of drinking something made of hot water, sugar and favoring matter, that not one in fifty knows good tea from bad.

The Popular Vote.

A correspondent asks the N. Y. Sur, if it can give the exact vote (popular) for Hancock and Garfield. Tue Sun replies:-No. There is no official record of any popular vote for Hancock or for Garfield. The popular vote was cast not for the candidates for President,
 but for the candidates for Presidential Electors. Some Electors received more votes than others on the same ticket,
 so there is no exact index of the vote in- tended for Hancock, or of the vote in- tended for Garfield. You can estimate it in every State, and then add up the totals, but the result will be only ap- proximate. You can estimate Hancock's popular vote, for example, in given State by putting it at the figures of the Democratic Elector who got the highest vote on the ticket or you can estimate it at the average of the votes for all the Electors in that State and then when you come to Maine, where Democrats and Greenbackers voted combination ticket for Electors, you can estimate it in any way that helps out your favorite theory. These incertitudes explain why some arithmeticians are able, without falsifying the returns, to reckon up small popular ajority for Garfield !; while others can perform the same en- tirely superhuous service for Hancock.

Advice to Our New Brass Band.

Gentlemen: You have now entered upon the most serious undertaking of your lives. It is solemn thing to put the brazen serpent to your lips. It is no idle act to blast brass viper or set pair of cymbals putting. True, there is no harm in gnawing upon a trombone, even after one has his cornet, but we repeat that it is solemn thing to startle the world with sudden |" brass music" Therefore, brethren, we would enjoin care and painstaking. Be ye not puffed up, as the wind instruments of winding brass. Temptations bestrew your path. There is always snare set for the drummer, and no drummer knows when he may become base. To the oymbal player we would say, "Strike, but hear" Yours is higher calling .than that of the punster. He plays upon words. You play upon symbols. To him who plays upon the brass boa-constrictor with grasshop- per attachment, you are peculiarly sub- iect to temptation. The temptation is to keep the piston rod ever in motion. It strengthens with years. It becomes grim habit with practice, so that men operate it by muscular action, merely, after they are dead. An admonitory word to the young man who has chosen the yellow clarionet. Yellow clarionets tend to melancholy-sometimes to sui eide. Either he who plays the yellow clarionet, or his nearest neighbor, must commit suicide, otherwise the clarionet is not yellow one, or it is out of order. Yellow clarionets are not compatible with long life. A man with an iron con- stitution may possibly live to fifty years on the flute, but yellow clarionet is as dangerous as the deadly and anaconda- like accordeon. To him that handles the stupendous and contentious tuba we mean the brass monster that gapeth and grinneth like a hippopotamus on the river brakes-think what wakeful capacity this instrument has The bel lowings of famished thunder are in it's brazen bowels, and its expansive mouth u.tereth earthquakes. Whisper in her lightly, my boy, and the whole world will be obliged to you

A Fresh Water Spring.

The Savannah (Ga.) Ne,Os says One of the most remarkable displays of na- ture may be seen on the Atlantic coast, eighteen miles south of St. Augustine. Of Mantanzas Inlet, and three miles from shore, @ mammoth fresh water spring gurgles up from the depth of the ocean with such force and volume as to attract the attention of all who come in its immediate vicinity. This fountain is large, bold and turbulent. It is no- ticeable to fishermen and others passing in small boats along near the shore. For many years this wonderful and mys- terious freak of nature has been known to the people of St. Augustine and those superstitious ones have been taught to regard it with a kind of reverential awe, or holy horror. as the abode of super natural influences.
 When the waters of the ocean in it's vicinity are otherwise calm and tran quil, the upheaving and troubled ap- pearance of the water shows unmistaka- ble evidences of internal commotions. An area of about half an acre shows this troubled appearance - something similar to the boiling of washer woman's kettle. Six or eight years ago Commodore Hitchcock, of the United States Coast Survey, was passing this place, and his attention was directed to the spring by the restless upheavings of the water, which threw his ship from her course as she entered the spring. His curiosity becoming excited by this circumstance he set to work to examine it's surroundings, and found six fathoms of water everywhere in the vicinity while the spring itself was almost fath- omless.

A STORY OF CARLYLE. There is 8 story current" says the London Cuckoo {" that the late MT. Carlyle was terri ble domestic tyrant. At breakfast time he would come down grumbling, and, glancing at the we'll spread board, de- clare the food to be unfit for dog. Mrs. Carlyle thereupon would order the girl to take the despised viands back to the kitchen. Presently when the phil osopher was beginning to get desperate ly hungry, his spouse would order the same dishes to be brought back, which her husband immediately proceeded to devour with infinite relish and without any more ado. No wonder that the sage considered his wife 8 greater woman than either George Sand or George Eliot"

She could not mistake the sincerity of his tone or the look of the brown eyes, and she answered simply and naively:
 'T thought you had forgotten me-"
 |" Forgotten you ?"
 She could not have told how it hap pened but somehow she found herself seated on the step of the stile with Walter beside her, and her cheek close -ah very close-to his, whilst all the world around seemed transformed into a strange beauty and glory. Such work in our lives.
 As they walked slowly homeward to- gether, he told her that one thing and another had prevented his seeing her, and among the rest, Bill having told him confidently at the church that she was too sick to come down stairs that day-a statement which he had unfor- tunately credited, and when this morn ing he had called and learned from her mother where she had gone, he lost no time in following.
 "But, Walter," said Hetty, hesita- tingly, edo you know that heard something about you and-Miss Mitchell"
 He laughed.
 "Miss Mitchell is to be married shortly, Hetty, to our junior partner.
 She has been very kind to me, and so has her uncle, my employer. Indeed, Hetty, l wanted to tell you of my good fortune and prospects, and to ask you, darling, if, when"
 And the words which had been for a year delayed were spoken, and Hetty wondered, as she came in sight of her home, whether this could be the same world that it had been on that dark, dark day, yesterday.

Mangled by a Buzz Saw.

Dallas Wilder, sawyer in Viola, Wisconsin. had his hand on the feed lever of buzz saw when his attention was attracted to another part of the mill by man calling his name. As he turned his head to see what was wanted the saw cut the thumb of his left hand off. The unfortunate man then must have fallen toward the saw, for, to the horror of the others in the mill, his left arm was instantly taken off at the shoulder and his head severed from his body. The deadly saw continued its horrible work, cutting the right arm off and cutting the body in thousands of pieces, producing instant death. This was all the work of second. The horror-stricken men in the mill did not have time to reach him before the hor- rible work WAS accom- plished. Wilder's remains were scattered over the prem ises in the shape of human sawdust.

A Little Dog Story.
EAGLE LOWERING OVER GARFIELD's s HOUSE ALL HOLLOW.

The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnatti Commercial tells this little dog story: A little yellow dog, which followed Garield's carriage in the inau- gural procession, has history. About a year ago, the same dog followed Gen. Garfield from where he got off a street car to his house, corner of Thirteenth and street. The general, noticing the dog, threw him 8 piece of meat, and forgot the occurrence until he met the aame dog on the same corner the next day. Following him home agsih ho was rewarded by another piece of meat. Finally, the dog made Gen. Garfield's house a kind of temporary headquar- ters. When Gen. Garfield went to Chicago as delegate to the convention that nominated him, the dog followed him to the depot. Before the news reached here of the nomination of Gen. Garfield, the dog set up joyful bark ing that was almost unbearable. "Something has happened" said one of the ladies in the house, "and here is telegraph messenger. The message contained the information of the nomi- nation. When Gen. Garfield came here, some weeks after his nomination, the story was told him, and he said he would take the dog to Ohio with him j; but when the time for starting arrived the dog could not be found, the animal being of rowing nature. Gen. Garfield never saw the dog since, until yester- day, when, riding out with friend, there he was Calling him by his name, "Bob," the dog recognized the voice and appeared to be happy. As the general arrived at the Riggs House the dog again disappeared. He saw nothing of him until to-day as the pro- cession was moving from the White House. The dog followed the carriage all the way to the Capitol.

A Hudson River City.

Poughkeepsie, says the HaaOkeye man, is about the size of Burlington, in point of population. In fact it may be justly considered the Burlington of Duchess County. It is built on the hills and plateau, 200 feet above the level of the Hudson. From the summit of College Hill, you can see 22,000 square miles of country. Or may be it is only 2,5OO. Or, possibly it is 25O,- GOO. It is one of the three. Pough- keepsie was the home of Prof. s. F. B. Morse, the inventor of the electric telegraph. It is the birthplace of Dr. T. H. Livingston, and Bishop Hedding, and is the home of Josh Billings and Wallace Bruce. The name of the city is spelled in forty-two different ways on old maps and records. And if they had had time, or had they known how, they would have spelled it in forty-two more different ways, each way more different than any others. Our fathers were the boss spoilers. It never puzzled them whether the or came first, or how many Is there might be in parallel. They spelled by ear, and the bestspeller was the man who could work in the most letters. The favorite way of spelling the name now, among the na- tives, is Po'keepsie. Whether for the sake of economy or because of the proud look the apostrophe lends the name, nobody knows, except Davids, and he won't tell.
 The Dutch settled Po'keepsie. The Dutch of that day would settla any thing they sat on.

SET AT LIBERTY the do uble headed eagle of Russia no slaveryis per mitted, and the hoisting of the Russian standard on the ruined ramparts of the Turkoman fortress was the signal for the emancipation of 700 wretched Per- sian captives. Half-naked, starving, and covered with bruises, after being compelled to work all day, they were chained at night hand and foot to stakes and guarded by dogs. No words could describe the rapture of these unfor- tunate men when the Russians told them they were free to return to the province of Khorassan, from whence most of them had been carried off by the Tekkes. Within the fortress the Russians found about 4, 900 Turkoman families, or about 1000 individuals, whose astonishment knew no bounds when, instead of being butchered or enslaved, they were treated with scrupulous kindness, and confded to the care of the Russian Red Cross So- ciety.
