AsroNIsHED M1NERs.-Down in the Flowery district, day before yester- day, says the Virginia Enterprise, some miners, who were prospecting about two miles north of the Lady Bryan mine, had quite en astonish- ing experience. They were drilling hole into quartz vein on thesside of mountain, preparatory to put in 6 blast. One of the men was holding and turning the drill while the other was striking. Suddenly a blow of the hammer sent the drill out of sight. Instantly a stream of water spurted up to the height of forty or fifty feet The water came out the full size of the drill hole, and spurted for over an hour, when it gradually failed and ceased to flow. The men finally put in blast, and blowing the top off the quartz vein, discov- cred some four feet below the sur face, large crevice or cavity, which extended up the hill as far as they were able to probe it.

The A. & P. Land Grants.

General Williamson, land commis sioner of the Atlantic and Pacific railroad, has gone east to visit his family in Chicago, and will go thence to Washington to be absent for sev- Orsl months on business. The New Mexican says in relation to his trip east.
 General Williamson has been ac- lively engaged for the past few months in getting the Atlantic and Pacific lands Tn New Mexico and Ar izona in condition for the market This has now been accomplished in the most admirable manner. Be tween the Rio Grande and the Col orsdo river, the Atlantic and Pacific company have about 14,OOO,O0O acres of land which they have earned by the construction of the railroad, and which is now offered for sale. The townships have been surveyed, the character of the land noted, the pur pose for which they are best adapted whether fitted for agricultural pur- poses, grazing or mining, or whether it iS timbered, and the amount of money necessary to be expended on 1t by the purchaser before it would bs adapted to use-all these points have been fully considered and in Vestigsted, and the valuation of the land arrived at by this means.
 No uniform price can be put upon it, owing to the different qualities of the land. The entire land in posses sion of the road is ranged into five classes, and all land will be sold ac- cording to the price of the grade in which it belongs. The classes de- termIned upon are these: coal, tim Der, agricultural, grazing, and graz ing land without water. In all classes but the agricultural, no sales for less body than half 8 township will be made. The agricultural lands will be sold in small quantities to suit even the poorest man.
 General Williamson explains that the United States government offers ; land to settlers on certain conditions for nothing. But every such free gift of 160 acres costs the settler, in land office fees, witness fees, and other expenses from forty to fifty cents an acre. This where there is no litigation. The A. < P. will sell their land for but little more money than 1t costs to prove up on govern nent homestead, and an absolutely good title is given to every purchaser. The road proposes to offer the most | liberal figures and the easiest pos sible terms to all who desire to buy. | They have DO desire to deceive colon ;sts by selling them land on which a poor man cannot make living They rather desire to induce men of | large capital to put money in large tracts of land suitable for grazing purposes.

The Nihilists are reported to be considerably interested in new ex- plosive that is making quite a stir in Europe. It is the invention of Eugene Turpin, and glories in the name of "panclastite'' or "brisetout. 3 It is said to be composed of two lio- uids, each non-explosive when alone, but when mixed together, just as wine and water are mixed, fulmin- ating compound is produced which can be exploded either by ignition or percussion. Experiments made at Cherbourg by the iron plate and the lead cylinder tests showed it to be much more powerful than dynamite, while by trial it was shown to be much less sensitive to a blow.

a good book-keeper gets a week, anyhow
Twenty or twenty-five dollars" said the
reporter, al a guess.
'Well, there are very few book-keepers in
New York who carr $25 week-very few.
There are not many who make $50. The
average pay of an ordinary book-keeper is
from SIS to $1S week l will undertake to
furnish hundreds of good book-keepers at
from $40 to $15 week"
why, that is only 50 day"
Precisely, and there are not many OF the
5000 unemployed boOk-keepers who would
not take it. Yet it was only three months
ago that l read in the public prints that 1T
was not possible to secure competent pohce-
men on the Brooklyn bridge at 81 day"
"What is the condition Of things in other
lines of employment?
81 can't speak for the number OF ordinary
laborers, for we seldom have applications for
them The other business men who want
help send to US, and we have continually on
our books number of applicants who say
that they can do this thing or the other
thing, and if we cannot fill the bill from
those on hand we advertise. Our fee comes
from the man employed. The fact is a man
must pay fee before going on our books.
He then has chance for a certain length of
time for getting employment through
us. He may or he may not get it,
1t does not pay him to say he can
do certain kind of work unless he really
can do it. If he says ne is bar-keeper and
pays US fee for getting him such position
and is afterward discharged for incompe-
tency you can see that he gains nothing by
the operation except experience, and he will
probably come to US and say that he is will
ing to go as assistant bar-keeper and learn
the business. We have great many appli-
cants and a great many places to fill in the
bar-keeping line. The applicants are mostly
Germans, and the employers generally pre-
fer Germans. A few years ago nearly all the
bartenders were Irish We get runs on
the different nationalities at times. During
the dynamite season a few months ago we
found it was very hard thing to find a
berth OF any kind for an Irishman, though l
am not sure that dynamite had anything to
do with it. After book-keepers and bartend-
ers we probably have most applicants for
porters; yet there are ten times as many APP
plicants for the places as there are porters
wanted, Indeed, every line of employment
is overcrowded and has been for two years"

TALK WITH ONE OF JAMES, COUNSEL.
Louisville Courier-Journal.
The sentiment of the people is almost
unanimously in favor of James, the only
enemies he has being the railroad, which is
pushing the prosecution more than the State
is. The verdict will, think, most certainly
be one of acquital, and as for hanging him,
there are not enough men in Missouri to do
it. The evidence has been strongly in favor
of James. While he did not prove perfect
alibi, he showed conclusively that he was as
innocent OF the Blue Cut, Glendale and Win
ston robberies as am. The only evidence
against him was that of Dick Liddell and
Mrs. Bolton, a sister of the Fords. Liddell,
it was clearly proven, made a false state
ment. He testified on the stand that he had
not told Governor Crittenden that Frank
James was not in that part of the country at
the time of the robbery, and that Jesse was
there. The Governor testified positively that
Liddell had told him so, and the statement
had great weight with the jury. A verdict
in the case may not be looked for before
Saturday, and | feel confident, as L said be-
fore, that he will be acquitted Frank

Five Thousand Unemployed BOok-Keepers-

Five Thousand unemployed BOoR-h eeperS-
The Wages They Receive.
New York Herald.
There are fully 5000 men now looking for
positions as book-keepers in the city," said
the manager of weH-establish$ri S@ploy-
ment company, which advertises almost daily
for men to fill this or that position. They
are men of all ages, but mostly between
twenty-five and thirty-five But | should
say that fully 10 per cent. of them are men
who are we'll on with or already beyond the
middle age. These are the hardest to find
places for. They are too much set in their
own notions of business to adapt themselves
readily to others notions, and then those
who want book-keepers prefer younger men
who can grow with the business These ell
derby applicants have, as general thing, seen
better times Many of them have been in
business for themselves and failed, or have
been by accident thrown out of good posi-
tions in which they failed to lay something
by for the rainy day My estimate OF the
number of woud-be book-keepers is a careful
one, and is based upon long experience in
this line of business. There are 80 900 book
keepers employed in the city, and more than
quarter as many more unemployed You
would be astonished to learn the number of
able-bodied men who could work at hun

An English Hog His Travels-The Alb
surd Professions of an Alleged Earl.

surd Pretensions of an Alleged Earl.
Chicago News.
As Uncle Rufus has lived through his
troubles, and by this time has probably paid
for the last beaker of champagne which his
English dudes will have charged up against
him, we shall direct our attention to the case
of the alleged Earl of Onslow This person,
whose importance lat 'ome" is not taken by
an unbelieving world at his own valuation,
solicited an invitation to join the Northern
Pacific excursion. AS an earl's title is not
to be sneezed at when the brains of the
party have been already provided for from
other sources, he got it, and put i'll an appear
ance with three unlimited hangers-on of his
own. He insisted upon having an entire
Pullman car to himself, and the report is,
'sent his servants to sleep with the guests in
the other cars, whence, however, they were
very properly fired. In the dningc cars he
insisted upon being served before the other
guests, and at Hotel Lafayette, at Lake Min
netonka he keeps up his absurd pretensions.
His latest reported trouble relates to pre-
cedenCe in the procession at st. Paul.
We commend the case of this
hoggish peer to the careful con-
sideration OF the noble army of American
funkeys and toadies That he is fraud
goes without saying. Men with sense, even
if they do have the misfortune to ne earls,
do not behave after this manner. The right
disposition to make of him is to give the
cowboys the wink and let them have fun
with him. And, possibly, from the harmless
cowboy the Earl of Onslow might acquire a
fraction of gentlemanly manners which he
has managed to avoid in England. We
ought also to add that, in comparing this
bad-mannered peer to the four-footed vari-
ETY., we mean no disrespect to the latter. But
isn't he daisy?
