The attention OF every miner, me.
chanic, engineer, foreman and superin.
tendent employed in mining in this State
is called to the rulings Of Judge Sawyer
in the United States Circuit Court, at
Carson, and published in the Virginia
Enterprise of the 10Th instant. in the
case Of Buckley against the Gould and
Curry Company. The legal accountable.
ity for accidents to life and limb involves
the consideration Of some very delicate
points. Judge Sawyer forti6es his ruling
with wealth Of illustrations which will
make it clear to the dullest understand
ing. The principle Of law that the master
is not liable for an injury to one servant
from the negligence Of fellow-servant
in the same line Of employment is one
which, when thoroughly understood,
will be very likely to induce co-workers
in any form of industry to adopt and en-
force measures of common protection
against negligent, Enthusiastically or un-
skillful workers.

A thrilling incident was witnessed in
Lewiston, Me-, Saturday. The painters
who are at work on st. Joseph's Church
have raised chain Of ladders to the top
Of the spire. While the workmen were
at dinner some passers-by saw a man
climbing the ladders, now and then wav-
ing his hat and uttering strange shout.
1t became evident that he was intoxi-
Gated. The form was soon recognized as
that OF a drunken Lewiston rag man. He
seemed impelled by an insane desire to
reach the cross at the summit OF the
steeple. He mounted ladder after lad
der. A crowd gathered. At times the
climber wavered, and all who saw him
thought he would fall and be dashed to
pieces. He gained the cross, put his hat
on it, and then began his descent. Two
men went up and helped the fellow. But
for this timely assistance he probably
would have fallen. The crowd watched
with eager eyes until he reached the
ground, pale and disordered. and stag
gered of, after one delirious shout OF ex-
ultation.

For . week past rumors have been

ever before found in the Paradise mines.

ANTIQUITY OF WEAyISG. -Archaolog
ical researches have shown indisputably
that the art of weaving was practiced in
prehistoric times. 1t may even date
back nearly to the creation of man, as
fragments OF woven cloth have been
found among the relics of the Lake
Dwellers, who are supposed to have been
about the first representatives of the
human race. The Bronze age furnished
specimens which placed the art above
most others in degree Of perfection, even
fabrics Of wool being found in the re-
mains OF Denmark, Scandinavia and Eng
nd-the remains OF France and Swift
erland yielding linen fabrics. The oldest
historical reference to the art Of weaving
is furnished by the Bible job lamented
that his days were passing with the fleet
ness Of a weavers shuttle, and Joseph's
coat attired in ''yestures Of fine linen"

The Calcutta Englislilnan publishes a
report OF the death OF snake-charmer
at Puddoopookur, entirely through over
confidence in his power Of handling with
IMMUNITY good-sized cobra. The rep
tile, it appears, was discovered in shop
by some natives, who were about to take
measures for destroying it, when man
named Chose, veil known as a pro-
fessional snakc-charmer, asked them not
to do so, and volunteered to tame and
subdue it. He had managed to seize its
head with one hand and its tail with the
other, after the fashion Of his tribe, and
was in the act Of putting it into an
earthen "chally," when the snake sud-
denly turned and bit him on the left
thumb. Even then the man refused to
be taken to the hospital or to be treated
surgically, saying that he could cure
himself by the use Of a remedy known a,
mantras. This he repeated, but his ef-
forts proved unayailing, and he finally
expired about an hour and half after
the moment OF the bite

The cotton crop now being gathered is
the largest ever raised in the United
States. The estimate is seven million
bales. In 1880 the yield was 6, $50, 900,
and the largest up to that date There
was falling off in 1881 of more than a
million bales, and,an estimated gain this
year of nearly half million There is
much complaint about the scarcity OF cot
ton pickers. The river improvements
give permanent employment to so many
hands that the supply for temporary pur-
poses is limited. Planters in some locali-
ties pay rates that enable good pickers to
make from three to four dollars per day.
The cotton crop is not being produced at
the expense of Other products. The grain
crop is the largest ever produced in the
South. Texas and Tennessee have raised
wheat enough for their own needs, and
throughout the South there is an unusu.
ally large crop OF corn.

FOTISG ~ CASADA.-There are some
good objects to be attained by the secrecy
OF the ballot, but they are defeated By
the system OF conducting elections, under
which the polls are surrounded By par
tisans from whom the voter has to obtain
his ballot and in whose presence he has
to cast it. The method Of voting in
Canada, where the voter, passing from
public sight, enters a room where he Is
furnished by an official with ticket of
each party, thence passes to second
room, where, unobserYed, he selects the
ticket he wishes to vote and destroys
the other, and then, entering a third
room, deposits his ballot and passes ont,
is the best method extant for securing
not only secret but free and indie
pendent ballot. 1t ought to be adopted
everywhere. Trenton American.

We have often heard Of fish being
rained from the clouds. but have never
seen an eyewitness to the phenomenon
until last week. :. ?. Thompson. one Of
our leading prairie planters, assures Us
that on the 18th OF October last he saw
three fish 81 the perch variety fall into
his front yard during a shor er Of rain.
Mr.. Thompson gathered up the fish.
which were still alive, notwithstanding
their long and rapid journey through
space towards the center Of gravity, and.
after satisfying himself that they we're
only ordinary perch, placed them in an
adjacent stream, where they swan oil as
lively as il terraneln streams and not
celestial vapors were their natural ele-
ment. Mr.. Thompson says that he is
not natural philosopher enough to explain
this strange occurrence. but that he is
absolutely certain that the fish did fall
from the clouds. Ex.
