Properly Estimated.

An amusing incident occurred the other
day in this city, which shows pretty con-
clusively that the worthless Herald is
properly estimated by the public. A
young clerk in leading Main street bust
ness house desired five tickets in the lot
terry scheme, and in order to secure them
he was compelled to take a years sub
scription for the paper. Having paid his
$40 for the tickets, he attempted to dis
pose of the subscription 1t was first
offered at So, but no one had So to
throw away on such an object. The price
was then reduced until the years sub
scription was offered at $3.50, and vic
tim was found at that price. But the
clerks conscience still upbraids him for
having charged 81. As more for an article
than it was worth.

A SHOCKING ACCIDENT.
II. h. Petit Meets am Untimely Death
by the Accidental Discharge
of a Gun.

One of the saddest and most shocking
events that has ever occurred in this
community transpired yesterday after
noon, in which B. B. Petit, a young
man who lived with his parents, in the
Fifteenth Ward, met his death. The
circumstances were as follows:
Young Petit, accompanied by a
younger brother, Louis, and two friends,
Matthew and Sanford Cochran
started out at about l o'clock
yesterday for an afternoon duck
shooting. They had enjoyed their sport
during the afternoon and at O'Clock
were in a small bayou connecting Hot
Springs lake with the Jordan river, about
a mile and half east of Levi Reeds.
They were just preparing to return home
and Petit and companion were stand
ing in the water alongside the boat. Pet
tits gun was lying in the boat in what he
considered rather dangerous position
and in order to avoid accident he raised it
up for the purpose of turning the muzzle
in another direction. He grasped
the gun near the muZZle
and Just as he was in
the act of laying it down and when it
was pointing directly toward his body,
the hammer struck the side of the boat
discharging the load and the entire
charge took effect in Pettit's abdomen,
just below the naval He sank back in
to the water, but his companions raised
him and assisted him into the boat.
"Boys, am a dead man." he exclaimed
upon being placed in the boat, and
in five minutes he expired. Sanford
Cochran Immediately started for
Mr. Reeds house ON the opposite side of
the Jordan, for assistance, being COM
PEELED toswim the river three times to
reach his destination The body was
taken home and DIR. Benedict called, who
dressed the wound.
An inquest was set for ~ o'clock to- !
day, but, as no doubt existed as to the |
cause Of the death, the coroner did not
any investigation necessary.
The deceased was "a years of age, hay
ing been born on Long Island, in March, |
1861. The melancholy event is an over |
blow to the family. The young
man was in the best of health and spirits |
when he left home and the grief of his |
parents when his dead body was brought
back was unspeakable.
No time has yet been set for the funeral,
but it will not take place before Saturday
Dr. Sunday.

FATAL EXPLOSION.
Two men Killed by premature
Blast i'm the Eureka Mine.

Special to the DEMOCRAT.
SILVER CRY, Utah, April 9.-Dan
Kennedy and Pat Sullivan were killed by
a premature explosion in the Eureka
mine yesterday afternoon. No one knows
how it was done, but when the night
shift went on they found the two men
dead. 1t is suppose they were loading a
hole when the blast went off, as part OF
the powder and the fuse with cap was
found near them. They had put in
four foot hole and were supposed to be
hurrying to load and discharge it before
quitting time and the giant cartridge got
stuck, when in trying to force it, it ex-
ploded. Sullivan is supposed to have
been loading, as his arm is shattered
The other man was close at hand proba-
bly, preparing the charge and tamping
the material

"During eight centuries" says a
correspondent OF Nature, zones direct
ancestors amount to a far greater
number than would be contemplated.
Taking three generations to a CEN
fury, one has father and mother
(two) grandparents (four) the great
grandparents, (eight). Attic end of
the second century the number OF
ancestors springs to sixty-four. Fol
lowing the calculation, you will find
that at the end OF eight centuries one
is descended from no less than 49,
100000 ancestors. Intermarriage, OF
course, would reduce this estimate,
and there is no doubt it must have
largely prevailed. But the figures are
SO enormous that, in spite Of ALL, I
venture to suggest that the words,
All We are brethren are literally true"
Certainly, and if the calculation goes
far enough back, it must inevitably
narrow down to the original pair,
the commonfather and mother. 49, 4~

Tiles i'm Place of CARPETS,

The wonderful strides made by the
tile-makers in their manufacture dur
ing the past ten years has become q
serious thing for the manufacturers
and dealers in carpets. "T'here is no
doubt" said a Broadway carpet deal
er. ''that the substitution OF tiles for
carpets and wood flooring will in time
become universal. Even now these ex-
ouisite little blocks from the ovens Of
the tile manufacto ries are used at the
expense of less co9tly foorings. Some
of them are much more beautiful than
those found in the old Italian and
Greek churches. The labors Of the
tile-makers are no longer confined to
the manufacture of the plain ugly
coIored blocks of concrete. Copies OF
the most celebrated art works, enl-
bodviny all the dciicate shades, are
reproduced in the squares OF clay.
Sometimes each tile is a gem in itself;
then, again, each tile represents only a
portion one immense design. When
the public becomes educated up to the
worth OF the tile, am afraid the car
pet and wood companies must 60.
That the fears Of the carpet men are
not unfounded is proven by the fact
that in some OF the mansions uptown
the entire house is tiled from garnet to
cellar. Not only is this the Case in
foorinss, but in decorations formerly
wrought in wood, plush and velvets.
Thomas Mast, the caricaturist, has
in his residence at Morristown, New
Jersey, mantle and fire place built
entirely Of exquisltely wrought tiles,
representing scenes from Shakespeare;s
Midsummer Nights Dream. Edwin
Booth has in his Newport home cab
met wrought in similar manner,
while in many of the homes OF the
wealthy New Workers, the wainscotings
and ceilings are made OF chaste and
curiously designed clay squares. There
is hardly a house among the upper ten
that has not one or more ''jardlnlers'
made of tile. So also in ship archi
lecture have theseprettyli little squares
been utilized. The saloon and music
room of the Red Star steamer Noord'
land are Respondent in tile work.
