The Horrible Disaster at the Braik-
wood, H., Mines.

AT IL 80 Friday forenoon while 800
men ana boys were at work in the
Diamond mine ct the Wilmington Coal
Mining Compony near Braidwood, ILL.,,
q section of prairie land 40 by 90 feet.
over which the foods had extended I'M
til the water stood three or four feet
deep suddenly caved in, resulting in
the instantaneous flooding of the mine
and the drowning of sixty-nine men
and six boys. The miners were caught
ike rats in hole, many of those who
made their escape wading through the
water from waist to neck deep. As
soon as possible the work of rescuing
the bodies of the dead was begun aud
is being pushed rapidly forward. A
dam is being built around the sink hole.
as it is called in mining parlapce, and
several pumps, each capable of throw
ing seven-inch stream Of water, are
being placed at the mouth ofthe shaft.
The work Of rescue will undoubtedly
take several weeks, as the passage ways
of the mines extend over, or rather I'M
der, nearly three hundred acres and
are connected with those of the old
Diamond. These are completely flood.
ed, the water reaching to the mouth of
the shaft and in this place,being eighty
five feet deep.
Several million barrels of water will
have to be pumped out of tie mine
after the water is damned from the
sink hole. The roof of the mine being
softened by the water is liable to flake
of in large bodies and cover the dead
with mud and slate, and the probabili.
ties are that when the water is pumped
out an immense amount of digging will
nave to be doue in order to reach many
of the victims. But the men from the
ncighborhood are all willing to help
along the good work of rescue,
and swear that they will not mine any
more coal until everybody is brougt to
the surface. The pumps are being
worked day and night, and everything
possible is being done TO recover the
bodies as soon as possible.

A Cats Chicken.

The following story was told the ST.
Louis Globe-Democat: 81 was paying a
visit to my friend, Mrs. Linchey, in
East st. Louis, While tn ere | observed
a big black cat playing with white
Len. | called my friends attention to
the extraordinary spectacle of the cat
purring at the hen, when the lady re-
marked; 'Oh, that's nothing; that cat
is the mother of that hen" Mrs. Linch-
then told me that the cat had driven a
sitting hen off her nest last spring, and
shortly afterwards there was a nest full
of kittens and one chicken. From the
time the chicken struggled through the
shell to the present day it has been 81
member ofthe feline family. The cat
has at all times eyinced q maternal
care over its feathercd ward, and the
latter had been frequently seen to
perch beside its foster mother. They
are frequently together in the barn
yard, and enjoy each Others com
pany.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

All flowers will droop in the absence
of the sun that walked their sweets.
The temperate are the most truly
luxurious By abstaining from most
things 1t Is surprising how many things
we enjoy.
| have lived to know that the secret
of happiness is never to allow your
energies to stagnate.
Prosperity is no just scale; adversely
Is the only balance to weigh friends.
Advice is seldom welcome. Those
who need it nust take il least.
When angry, count ten before you
speak; II very angry, a hundred.
The greatest pleasure I know is to
do good action by stealth, and have
1t found out 10y accident.
The certain way to be cheated is to
fancy ones self more cunning than
others.
Girls we love for what they are:
young men for what they pro mise to

all who call and at the same time trans
act the business of the state with an at
tention to details that can scarcely be
paralleled BY any executive Office in
the country. We mention these things
meerly to show our esteemed contem-
pories in other states, that, so far as
democratic simplicity is concerned,
Georgia easily takes the lead.
