A Horrible Story

The author of Siberian Pictures
says that, having on one occasion lost
his way, he drove up at night to a large
hut whence he saw light shining,
Cautiously looking in at the window
before entering or knocking he saw a
hideous sight. Two or three men were
ranging dead bodies, which they brought
up through trap-door from some un-
foreground store-hOuse, around a room
while another lighted large fire. As the
fire burned up, the bodies, which seemed
at first stark frozen, began to thaw and
to exhibit signs of life, or at least move
ment. Then the principal performer
advanced and deliberately disemboweled
them one after another. The onlooker
naturally thought that he was either
dreaming or was assisting at some fright
full and unholy rite. But the real
explanation was very simple. Russia

Of winter the visits of doctors are rare,
and it is the custom to freeze the bodies

a Rich Zinc Mine in ENGLAND,

The remarkable find of blende (zine
ore) at the Maybe mine, Derbyshire,
which was briefly noticed in the Times
of Friday. is exciting great interest in
mining circles all over the country The
mine is situated near Blackwell, in High
Park, and has been worked for three or
four hundred years with the exception
of short interval from 184S to 1869
In the latter year it was again opened
out, but the proprietors had a prolonged
struggle against water, the great enemy
of lead mining in North Derbyshire
For nearly two years pumping was car
ried on at an expenditure of 50 tons of
coal per week. During this period the
owners raised $4,000 worth of ore at a
considerable profit, but in consequence
Of the great expenditure of coal it was
thought advisable to suspend pumping,
and to get rid of the water by driving a
level. This work was begun in 1873
and was finished in 1881, at cost of
fl4,000, the level, nearly 1900 yards
long, unwaterlng the mineto depth of
1876 yards. A few weeks ago Mr. Sim
mons, the captain of the mine, made
the discovery of seam of blende ) feet
wide, which increases in width the fur
Their it is explored. MIR. Simmons re-
CARDS the discovery as most wonderful
and altogether unparalleled in this

least $4,000 tons of ore in the seam,
worth IS 1Ss. cd. per ton. The com
pany are now making roadway to
their rich deposit and laying down a
four-feet track, on which the ore will be
conveyed out of the workings. Twenty
yards from this find of ore the work
men came upon an immense natural
cavern, % yards long, extending for u

much interest was manifested. One of

asked if he had Bible and he replied
negatively. The good man advised him
to buy one and take it home and read it.
He said he had no money to throw away
on Bibles. Then the minister offered TO
give him one and he refused TO take it,
He went home and repaired 10 his farm.
While in the field an angry raincloud
came, and soon vivid flashes of lightning
began to play around in the
neighborhood of the wicked young man.
Soon a bolt came along and knocked him
winding over the cotton rows. The
falling rain-drops in his face revived hiua
after few minutes, and he proceeded
toward the house but Just before enter
ing the gate he received another shock
which laid him PROSTATE and helpless on
the ground. Reviving again he went
into the house and related to his wife the
ordeal he had just passed thTouagh, and
how near he had approached death.
Next day he went to town, bought a
