the soii is principally clay. The well
reached the depth of sixty feet Wednesday
night and Mr. Prior, who was at the bot
tom, felt quite dizzy when he came to the
top at night from what he thought to be
the effects OF black-damp, which abounds
in that kind of soil. Thursday morning
before descending the well the large tub
used for hauling up dirt was lowered and
raised to the top of the we'll some fifteen or
twenty times, after which lamp was let
down and burned without any apparent
difficulty. Thinking that the gas had all
been famed or brought out NIP, got in
to the tue and was lowered. but when he
had reached distance Of forty feet below
the surface, SO far as he could judge, he
began to feel the effects Of the poisonous
substance and hallowed twice to be raised,
and Immediately lost CONSCIOUSNESS. Hav-
ing had similar experience he had pres
ence of mind enough to drop into the tub,
which enabled the men on top to raise
him imme dlately and saved his life, 9th
erwise he would have been dashed to the
bottom of the we'll and killed by the fall
or died before assistance could have
reached him. On reaching the top the
men commenced to work with HIM and
after vomiting every thing off his stomach
he was gradually restored to consciousness.
One of the top hands thought Prior was
playing off on the boys, and arope was
tied around his body aud properly fastened
into the tub and let down, but when he
had been lowered to within ten feet of the
bottom he squealed and was Immediately
raised. He, too, did not GENE to until he
had raised the contents Of his stomach. Up
to last night Mr.. p. was ,shll'quite dizzy
and had not sufficiently recovered to be
able to work though they expected to re-
new the work this morning. This we'll is
located about three miles from the we'll In
which three men were suffocated, about
three years ago"

The Talk About Tilden.
Washington Sentinel.I


Henry Watt erson, who is under
pecuniary obligations to Mr.. Tilden,
has recently been visiting the old
man at New York, and. most likely
in order to tickle him little, tried to
set in motion a new presidential
boom for the wise man of Creamery.
The Republican papers have sup
ported him in that undertaking most
vigorously. because nothing better
could happen for them than a renom-
ination of Mr. Tilden by the Demo-
Gratis in 1884.
We think it about time to stop that
nonsense. Tilden is played out, dead
and gone, and ten thousand Gabriels
of the Watterson stripe will not be
able to galvanize him into life. A
mummy cannot lead the Democracy
to victory.
If the Democracy wants to get in
power again it can only be done under
live leader, who can enthuse the
masses and inspire them with victory.
To win the battle the Democratic
host must not rely on a defensive
policy, but take the offensive and at
tack the enemy in his strongholds.
Thanks to the many Republican rats,
the latter are no longer what they
used to be, and can easily be preached.
No Chinese pyrotechnics, however,
will do it.

The st. Louis Republican says:
There will be no hesitation among
Democrats to hold the Republican
party responsible for the great scan
dals and shame brought on the coun-
try by the methods pursued by the
Dorseys, Bradys and their associates
in the campaign of 1880. They used
the treasury of the country to cor
rupt the voters. They secured the
aid of rich men by promising them
the profits of the management of the
treasury and the public debt. They
took all the money they required to
effect their purpose. How much
more they would have taken if they
had deemed the exigeney required it
is only matter of conjecture. No
other party under this government
have ventured to do what the Repub-
lican campaign leaders, with the APP
proval. and indeed, at the suggestion
and iustances of the nominees for the
presidency and vice presidedcy, did in
1880. The only motives they had or
defence to offer for the audacious
struggle for success then made were
love of power and greed of the emolu-

THE investing officers say that they
propose investing in United States
three per cents, knowing that they
may be disposed of after while with
out loss. Then why in the name of
common sense did they not decide to
invest in four per cents? If 100000
of threes can be sold without loss,
100000 tours can be sold as well
without it, and the latter would give
$40,OOGin interest, while former would
give only $399 600? Remember they
defend the investment on the
ground that the same cash may be
realized on the sale of bonds as it will
now take to buy them. Wall street,
say the members of the investigating
board, was convulsed by the news
that Texas wished to buy a paltry
million of United States bonds, and
that the price of securities went up in
consequence That will do for finan-
ciers who have not yet brushed the
dust of one-horse villages from their
shoes.
