Ancient Mortar.

In examining the other day, says
a contemporary, the remains OF Old
Sarum, an Old Roman fortress in
the south of England, near Sails
bury, we were surprised at the re-
markable strength of the mortar by
which the hints and sandstones were
held together. We find tho mystery
explained in the following para
graphs from an authority ON the sub
ject:
1.-THE ancients were so very scrupu
lous in the process of mixing their
mortar that it is said the Greeks
kept ten men constantly employed
for a lorg space of time to each basin.
This rendered their mortar of such
prodigious hardness, that, Vertuvius
tells US, the pieces of plaster falling
off from old walls served to make ta-
blss.
1T was a maxim among the old
masons to their laborers that they
should dilute the mortar with the
sw eat of their brows; that is, labor q
long time instead of drawing it with
1.-THE weakness Of modern mortar,
compared to the ancient, isa COM
mon subject ofregret; ard many in
&c lious men take it for graLte that
the process used by the Roman archi-
tects in preparing their mortar is one
of those arts which are now lost, and
have employed theusel yes in MAX
i'm experiments or its recovery.
"But the characteristic of all mod
ern artists, builders among the rest,
GEMS to be to spare their time and
labor as much as. possible, and to in
c ease the quantity of the article
they produce without rlch regard to
the goodness; and perhaps there is
nothing 30 remarkably exemplified as
in the preparation of common NOR
tar.

CUT IN PIECES.
Terrible Accident on the National
Park Branch.
Living ston Enterprise.

A fatal accident occurred yester-
dav morning on the Park branch at
the siding near Yankee Jim's, forty
n miles from town. The victim
was a man named Ringo, who, until
recently, had been employed as a
restaurant waiter, and in various
capacities around Livingston, and
sometimes was known by the can't
alias of "Soupbone." At the time
of the accident he was acting as
brakeman on conductor COlford's
train. Out at the end of track siding
he was coupling a carload of iron to a
moving train and in order to make
the coupling, stopped down to see
beneath the projecting rails, as they
were piled on the car. While thus
engaged his fingers were caught be.
tween the iron bumpers, MASKING
them to a jelly, and it is sup
posed that from this painful hurt he
forgot his usual caution and slipped,
falling between the car and across
the rail. The loaded car passed over
his body about the region of the hips,
cutting him so that only his clothes
prevented a complete severance. In
some manner his legs also got under
the wheels and were cut so that they
hang only by shreds of flesh. In
spite of these terrible injuries he lived
three hours from the time Of the &C
cident, and seemed conscious of the
awful pain he was suffering. His
comrades hurriedly placed him on
the train and ran from the seen of
the occurrence to Livingston-forty-
one miles-in one hour. The dying
man was taken to the hospital, and
with everything done to alleviate his
suffering, died at about 10 o'clock.
He came to this country from Ohio,
where his relatives new live.

A Short Study for Boys,

THE life of Charles O'Connor the
eminent lawyer, shows what dill
gence and perseverance will accom-
pli-h. 80,
When eight years old he was an
ofice-boy and newspaper-carrler.
His father published a weekly news
D and Charles. besides attend
ing in the office, delivered the jour
nal to it's subscribers in New York,
Brooklin, and Jersey City. Ee used
a skiff to cross the rivers, and fire.
ouently would be cut all Saturday
night serving his route. 1t is said
that he never missed a subscriber.
When he was seventeen years old.
he entered a'lawyer's office as Grand
boy. He borrowed law books, took
them home and read them by the
light of a candle far into the night.
Several lawyers, noticing the b'ys in
dustry, aided him in his studies.
When he was twenty-four years
old he was admitted to the bar, and
even then it was said that young
O,Connor's legal opinion was worth
more than that of many other law
yers..
Young lawyer, and it was not, until
his thirtieth year that clients recog--
nized the legal learning and skill
of young. O'Connor. He was vely
noor. but industry and ability were
his capital. He worked hard at the
smallest case, level sighted any
trust. and in time secured the repu-
tation of a man who would do his
hest for those employing him. 10
this conscientiousness and industry
he owed his success.

Conclave

The preparations for the approach
ing Triennial Conclave Of the
Knights Templar in San Francisco
are upon q scale of ma&nificence
hitherto unknown, even in that city
of magnificent ideas. Among the

How a Kentucky Newspaper
Got even.
Henry Watterson.

AANlAy
A newspaper in Cincinnati was
making it the business of its life 10
descant upon crime, chiefly murder
of course, al the south. A newspa-
per in Louisville did what it could 10
barry these blows. It deprecated
the spirit of the attack; and in many
cases proved both malevOlence and
falsehoed. AL to no purpose. The
su cam was Bitter creek, and thelamb
had muddied the water very high
up At length there was nothing
left for it but reprisal, the southern
paper began at first by publishing
every day a column or two columns
of "Ohio crimes reported to and
taken bodily out of the Ohio press.
These ran, however, so far ahead of
the crimes reported from the entire
south that in a little while it became
necessary, in order to give the single
Buckeye state a full ard fair show,
to issue an 'Ohio crime supple
ment." l venture to saythat never
such a chastity array of lawlessness,
fro,n murder to arson, appeared IN a
single sheet. 1t covered the opera
tions of one week, and contained for
ty columns. AS a guarantee OF
good will and an assurance of good
humor, it bore as its trontispiece a
picture of my amiable aud estimable
friend, the editor OF the Cincinnati
paper in question, standing upon a
stack of bibles, totally oblivious to
the killings, wife-beatings, and
other dreadful and inhuman acts
going on right about him, but gazing
wistfully and absorbedly through a
spv-elass leveled toward the south.
There was no further controversy
that ended it.

The a Beaten.
CMOf'

CfIuD.
A farmer came into a grocery
store the other DAY and exhibited to
the eyes of an admiring crowd an
enormous egg, about six inches long,
(which he avowed to have been laid
by one of his own hens. He had it
packed in cotton. and wouldn't allow
any one to handle it for fear of
breaking the phenomenon. The
grocery man examined it with the
rest, and intending to chaff the coun-
tryman, said:
"Pshaw? I've got something in the
egg line that will beat that"
"I'll bet you five dollars you hav-
emit" said the countr. man getting
excited.
'Take it up" replied the grocery
man and going behind the counter
he brought out a wire egg teater.
''There Is something in the egg line
that will beat it, I guess" said he,
reaching for the stakes.
Hold on there" said the farmer;
"lets see,y you beat it." and he banded
it to the grocer. The latter held out
his hand for it, but dropped it in sur
prise on the counter, where it broke
two soup plates and a platter. 1t
was of solid iron, painted white.
"SoMe folks think they are darna'
ton cute" murmered tho farmer as
he pocketed the stakes a nd lit out,
"but faint no use buckin' against
J the solid facts"

New York Copper Views.
Engineering and Mining Journal, Aug. 4.

Engineering and Mining Journal, Aug.4.
Ia a quiet way, copper is the sub
iect of considerable discussion in the
trade, and there are many who are
inclined to take a hopeful view of its
future. It is argued 10y many, that
prices cannot 60 any lower, while the
likelihood is that they will move up
ward. The situation is tolerably clear
on this side Of the Atlantic. We
Nave shipped abroad, and are still
shipping, large quantities of refined
and crude copper and furnace mate
rial and ores, and have latterly begun
to export largely also manufactured
goods. At present prices here and
abroad, this movement will continue
undated, and it may increase in vol
ume should prices abroad harden.
They are now under an artificial in
f1uence, a business firm, well known
as having been formerly an extern
| sive Spectator in tia, having been
holding the market for a long time.
| Should its movement prove saccess
full. we may look forward toa hard
ening of prices here. But the trade
! must also face the possibility of a
failure of the speculation alluded to;
and in that case, the future OF
our market would not be SO bright.
It might check our shipments, and
turn into home channels considerable
quantities of metal, under which the
market would find it hard to rally.
So far as our production goes, it is
undoubtedly heavier in almost every
quarter than it has been. The lake
mines are in the aggregate increasing
their output, and, taken all in all, the
Southwest, including Arizona and
New Mexico, will be ahead of last
year. The Northwest, Montana
principally, is developing wonder
fully, but the great bulk Of the mate
rial produced there goes abroad. The
weakest spot in Our markets, the out
side brands, are now showing COM
paratiyely more strength than Lake;
q proof that for the present the sup
plies available to our refiners are not
by far us heavy as they used to be.
Altogether, the situation here is good,
but it is imperilled by whatever may
happen in England, and there the
future is not so we'll defined as it is
here.

An Indian iynching.

N. G. Springer, who lately visited
Ruby Valley, Nevada, tells how the
Shoshone Indians do when they
Fix a man." One of their number
got mad at his squaw and killed her
in a cruel and horrible manner. He
first broke her arms and legs, and
then, while still alive, covered her up
in a grave. The members of his
tribe concluded to ''ix him." which
they did by taking him out among
some trees, tying his hands behind
him, then tying his feet together,
they took strong cords and tied
his feet to q tree, the Indian
lying on the ground on his back. A
long rope was then placed once
around his neck, with asingle loop,
the ends extending out on either side.
A number of big strong bucks then
took hold of the rope ends and with
a strong and steady pull choked the
Murderer until he became a good
Indian. They went away perfectly
satisfied with their work.-SUH Lake

the unfortunate woman was dread

Miners Union Picnic.

The second annual picnic of the
Butte Miners Union at Poplar
Grove tomorrow will be par excel
lence the picnic of the season. 1t is
expected that at least five hundred
pleasure seekers will be in attend
ance. A brass band will furnish
music for the occasion and among
the amusements provided are sailing
on the lake, dancing in the spacious
pavilion, target practice, foot racing,
including the ludicreus sack race,
and a prize game of base bal. Those
who do not care for these diversions
will find pleasure in strolling about
the beautiful grounds or perhaps
climbing the hills or exploring the
glens and dales which abound in the
neighberhood. The Unien boys are
evidently bent upon having a glori-
GUS "day out" and that mean no
end of fun fer all who attend.

In the Tolls.

The Ogden Pilot has the following
account Of the exploits in that city
of Charley Taylor a well known
Butte hummer: There was a party
registered at the Central Hotel . few
days ago, under the name of Ed. H.
Orr, Butte, Montana, who, when
brought before the police magistrate
on Monday. answered to the name of
Charley Taylor. We are informed he
is a hard case generally, that he has
been beating board bills here and oc-
cupying himself in no other way
than sitting around hotel offices and
bar rooms, foully slandering unpro-
tected females. Some of his stock in
trade was a collection of most OBJ
scene pictures imaginable which he
would incautiously show to young
ladies when an opportunity afforded
itself. Some of his victims are happy
to know ne has changed his occupa-
ton and is now doing service with
the chain gang.

Horribly ManRled.

The Dillon Tribune has the follow
ing particulars of the death of James
McAuley which was briefly noticed
in the MINER specials atthe time of
the accident:
On last Sunday evening, July 22d,
James McAuley met a horrible death
at Barrel Station on the U. & N. In
making an attempt to board the
south bound freight train while it
was in motion, McAuley fell between
the cars and the train passed over
him. He was horribly cut up by the
wheels. The body was cut in two,
the legs cut apart, the hands taken
off, and the heart, liver, lungs and
entrails were scattered for a distance
along the track. The head was the
only part that escaped mutilation.
The remains were collected together
and putinto a sack. Coroner Hirsch-
man being notified proceeded to the
station and held an inquest on the
remains, at which the facts related
above were given in testimony.

Disastrous Cloud Burst.

Madisomi0n: On Sunday afternoon
about 3 O'Clock, an immense cloud
burst occurred between the head of
Idaho and Jack creeks, on the uppe
Ruby. The water, it is said, rolled
down the hill-sides in vast sheets, es
timated at several feet in depth,
washing large bodies of debris down,
and completely flooding the lew
lands in the valley. The new ditch
of the Pioneer Ditch Company is
completely filled up, and will have to
be re-dug throughout. Large guam
titles of hay and some grain have
been damaged. The loss to the par
ties in the course of the flood will not
fall short of 81, 500 or $1,000, the great
er part of which will fall upon Alex.
