ia ~ 49,
VIRGINIA, New, Feb. 24.-About Q
O'Clock yesterday morning Thomas Quinn,
a top carmsn at the Grown Point shaft,
Gold Hill, was badly and fatally injured.
He was loading mining timbers on the
lower deck Of a double cage from the floor
Of the carpenter shop. when the engineer,
in obedience to a bell signal to hoist.
started the cage in the other compartment
Of the shaft. The engine being of double
acting style the & have to move at the
same time, one going down as the other
com up. Consequently, the cage Quinn
was loading suddenly started downward.
He was leaning forward, placing a timb Der
on the cage when struck by she upper deck
and knocked down, falling with head and
shoulders over the shaft. The upper deck
Of the descending cage came down across
his back. The cage, with its load Weighing
between two and three tons, came with
crushing force, and the space between the
cage and side of the shaft being only about
four inches the only reason why he was not
cut completely in two was that the eccen-
trics or ~safeties at the sides of the cage
acted promptly on being partially relieved
OF tho weight OF the cage, and Immediately
arrested its further descent. Assistance
was close at hand. The engineer promptly
raised the cage, and the unfortunate man
was extricsted from his terrible position.
Surgical assistance WAS Immediately sum
moned. He could speak, but he breathed
with difficulty, his breast being evidently
badly crushed from contact with the edge
of the floor and the shaft. He was in ter
rible pain, and could only breathe when
sitting up, and in that position was taken
to St. Mary's Hospital. in this city. where
Drs. Kirby and Weber attended him. The
bones OF his breast, including several ribs,
were found crushed, some OF the broken
bones penetrating his lungs. His breath
thus escaping with tho cavities of his chesi
caused a fearful swelling Of the neck and
throat which was partially relieved by
surgical incisions to let out the air, and
ander the influence of opiates the pain sub
sided. lie died at midnight, and will bt
buried tomorrow.

Senator Gorman's Nutmeg.

Senator German was in the city looking
after certain department matters which he
desired to arrange preparatory to going
away on his summer vacation. Mr. Cor
man tells the following story on himself
For many years he has been sufferer from
regular attacks of neuralgia. On some
occasions he has been confined to his home
a day or two, SO intense was the pain. An
old lady friend once called upon him while
he was suffering from one of his attacks.
She displayed SO much sympathy that she
almost forgot to name the request she had
to make-but she did not. Upon learning
that the senator was troubled with neural
gia she volunteered to give him an infalli-
bic remedy, provided he would promise not
to laugh at her or accuse her of being
believer in conjuration, spells, etc. The
senator, in good-natured way, informed
her that he was under treatment of an en-
inent physician who sometimes afforded
him temporary relief. The old lady finally
prevailed upon the senator to give her
remedy fair trial. whereupon she suggest
ed that he should get an ordinary nutmeg,
such as is used in cooking, drill hole
through it, attach it to piece of string or
ribbon, and wear it. around his neck con-
tinually.
The senator while suffering one day,
determined to give the nutmeg remedy
trial. He followed the old lady's direc-
tions, and in few hours felt greatly re-
lieved. He has worn the nutmeg ever
since and is seldom troubled with neural
gia. He has consulted several physicians
on the subject, and they state that the nut
meg possesses certain virtues which may
have effect on neuralgia pains Washing-
ton correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.

A FLOWER.

(Written for the Democratic AdUocate.)
send you, friend of other years,
A tiny little flower
found to-day, through binding tears,
In Deaths lone bower.
You know the spot-ah yes, how well!
Sad memories cluster there
There loved ones sleep-ah, who can tell
The lone despair
That o'er us steals in sorrows hour
When Heaven seems far away
In musing VIII ere found this flower
All lone to-day.
o, sympathy the spirit Graves,
As down life's western vale
The shadows fall, mid gathering graves
Twill sometimes fail.
We sadly count how few the props
On which we may rely;
Our dreams are vain-the curtain drops,
And life's gone by.
Then, friend of other, happier years,
Cherish the tiny flower
That grew beside her grave-when nears
Life's waning hour.
'Twere sweet to think that when we wing
Away from Times sad isle,
That she with seraph minist'ring,
And olden smile.
Will greet us on that other shore
Her influence fingers yet;
o, what were life if hope were DER,
And we forget?
o, let us strive to meet each peal
Ofwoe that rends the breast;
And mid the deepest agony, feel
Surety of Rest.

The Meaning of Bonanza.
mn the PHILADELPHIA Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
In an English magazine an attempt is
made to give series of Americanisms;
that is to say, words coined or invented in
America. Under the word Bonanza the de-
fnition is given -"Spanish, a big scheme by
which, honestly or otherwise, much money
is made" Upon this critic pounces and
says that bonanza means ''good fortune or
good luck" Bonanza is indeed Spanish
word, and very naturally came into use in
California or Nevada But it does not
mean "a big scheme" or 'good luck 1t
is a nautical-a seagoing word, and means
fair weather at sea. IF the reader viii re-
fer to ST. Matthew, viii, 26, he viii read
that, after the Lord rebuked the wind and
the sea, "there was great calm And
if reference is next had to the Spanish
version of the New Testament he will find
the phrase there given, tuna grande bonan-
"a" 1t is easy to understand how the
word came into its figurativeu use-as mean-
ing a happy, calm and good hope after
weary search.
