How Caluphor Is Made,

The Philadelphia Press says: Cam
phor is made in Japan in this way:
After tree is felled to the earth it is
cut up into chips, which are laid in q
tub on large iron pot. partially filled
with water, and placed over slow fire.
Through holes in the bottom of the tub
steam slowly rises, and heating the chips,
generates oil and camphor. Of course,
the tub with the chips has closely fit
ting cover. From this cover bamboo
pipe leads to succession of other tubs
with bamboo connections, and the last
of these tubs is divided into two COM
partments, one above the other, the
dividing floor being perforated with
small holes to allow the water and oil GO
pass into the lower compartment. The
upper compartment is supplied with a
straw layer which catches and holds the
camphor in crystals in deposit as it
passes into the cooling process. The
camphor is then separated from the
straw, packed in wooden tubs, and is
ready for the market. The oil is used
by thenatives for illuminating and other
purposes.

Mr. Beecher's Trayful Of Gems.

Mr.. Irving and I dined with Mr.. and
Mrs. Beecher, and in the interval be-
tween two of the courses Mr.. Beecher
sent one of his little grandchildren up
stairs. Shortly afterward the child re-
turned with a tray, and handed it to
Mr.. Beecher, who in turn passed it to
me. On it was a collection of the most
superb and valuable gems, and when
Mr.. Beecher told me to select one I
thought him joking, SO in the same
spirit took one and passed the tray
back, saying no more. Something in
the way the people sitting near looked
at me made me feel that I had made a
mistake, for I scarcely thanked him ard
did not stop to express my pleasure.
Leaning over to Mrs. Beecher I said.
Does he really wish me to have this ?''
Her answer was, Eyes, my dear; and so
do 1. You can imagine my feelings at
becoming the possessor Of SO valuable a
jewel and at such distinguished hands.

An Explosion in Virginia Mine Proves
the Doom OF early Two Hundred Men.
There was an explosion in the coal mines at
Pocahontas, Tazeweu county, Va, Wednesday
at 1880, and 40 to $50 miners were killed.
The mine has always been considered danger
Gus one, the soft coal fonnd there being per
fectly saturated with the deathly fire damp.
There is no hope entertained of rescuing
those in the mine. They must all be
dead. Such perfect scene of destruction
is hard to picture. The passages in the mine
have been entirely destroyed, and the entire hill
will have to be eAcavated to get to some of the
chambers The fact that the mine is on fire
makes the operation of rescuing
all the more difficult,
A number of bodies were discovered. horribly
mangled, some of them with their heads torn
from the trunks, others with the limbs all gone,
| presenting an appalling spectacle. The work
OF destruction was not confined entirely to the
interior of the mines but houses, 2g0 or 300
feet removed from the mines were overturned
and IN several instances demolished A
large yenhlator of the Southwest Improvement
| company was blown to atoms and the mines
cannot be entered till another is constructed for
the purpose of freeing the atmosphere of the
suffocatlng fumes.
The men OF the mines are mostly Hungari-
ans without families a number of negroes
| from the surrounding section are also en-
| ployed there. The mines had not long been
! open, bnt the company had gotten well under
way and were supplying a large section of
country with coal The prospect was most en-
couraging. Alarge coalng stationfor the sup

Old John Browns Widow.

The Philadelphia Times publishes an
interesting interview with William
Still, the well-known colored man, who
was one of the leading spirits in the
underground railroad" movements,
regarding the widow of Ossawatomie
Brown, who died in California recently.
Mrs. Brown was at MI. Stills residence
in Philadelphia when her husband was
executed. "Dec. 2, the day of the ex-
ecution," said Mr.. Still, ''was cold and
clear, and Mrs. Brown was the first to
come down that morning She came
down to the breakfast table calm and
collected, without a sign of tear or of
mental suffering. In fact, she seemed
rather cheerful and light spirited. No
reference was made during the break
fast hour to the sad event of the day.
and not until the hour set for the exc
cution did Mrs. Brown show any signs
of grief. But when the clock struck
ten she grew deathly pale, and, as she
sat with her hands folded across her
breast as if in silent prayer, tears rolled
down her marble-hued cheeks, and she
presented a picture Of heroic grief that
[ can never forget. For nearly an
hour she seemed lost to all about her,
but when the first feeling of bitter
despair wore off, she said, We'll I sup
pose the law is avenged, and the people
are satisfied She then spoke Of her
husband cheerfully; Of his inten lions, of
his zeal, of his honesty. She had al
ways been in full sympathy with him in
his undertakings, and had full knowl-
edge of his plans"

The first fast through mail train from
New York reached ST. Paul in 43 hours
from New York and IL IL from Chicago.
Postmaster General Gresham and First
Assistant Hatton who were on the train,
explained as to an extension of the fast
mail service to points west and north
west of st. Paul that no plans are now
agreed upon, and none are contempla-
ted. The present change affords these
sections great relief, and it is time
enough to think of fast mails beyond st.
Paul some distance in the future. The
saving of time by the new arrangement,
for points west of Fargo is twenty-four
under the present winter schedule, and
twelve hours to various other points.
The mail train does nottake passengers,
but can do SO at the option of the rail
road
