Using Dynamite 60 Break TIRE Ice
Gorge &c Sc. Louls-~NarroW Es-
cape Of q Workman
EAST sT. Louis, I'LL. Feb. 20-An
employee Of Virgins Ferry company,
named John Evans, had a narrow
escape from death by dynamite yes.
teFday. He was one Of a party en-
gagged In using dynamite in trying
to break the Ice gorge in the
river opposite ChOteau avenue.
Evans had been placing dynamite
cartridges In holes In the Ice, and
had succeeded In getting al in
but one and was In the act Of putting
this down, when an electric current
was turned on and an explosion took
place. Evans was hurled a consider
able distance, and those who saw him
tumble expected to find his body in
shreds. However, he was not killed
and not even necessarily dangerously
injured. He received several severe
cuts on the head and face, and one
hand and arm were considerably LAGER
ated. It was a narrow escape and the
wonder is that he was not killed and
mangled in pieces.

passionately: "Oh, God my heart is

shortly after arrested. When he saw

himself upon it, and expressed great
sorrow, saying he was the cause of it
all.

The Demands OF the Knights of Labor.

Ralph Beaumont, James Campbell and
John j. Mccartney, the committee OF the
Knights OF Labor appointed at the meeting
OF the general assembly held at Cleveland,
have sent letter to Speaker Carlisle.
Copies have also been sent to Representa-
tives Randall and Morrison. The letter
states:
Washington and ask the passage OF certain
bills, for which petitions bearing
100000 signatures will soon be pre-
sented. The bills are: Repeating
the timber culture, preemption and desert
land acts; for the adjustment OF railroad
and other land grants; forfeiting all rail
road land grants, the conditions of which
have not been strictly complied with; or
sanizing the territory OF Oklahoma; open
ing portion OF the great Sioux reserva-
ton to settlement; prohibiting aliens from
holding lands in the United States; making
presidential and congressional election
days holidays. and Furnishing bribery;
directing the disbursement ofat least $780,,
900, 600 treasury surplus and substitute
ing treasury notes for bank notes re-
tired. In making these requests, the COM
mittee say, we feel that we are not enumer-
ating any new doctrines, but we find the
groundwork OF nearly every one OF them
laid down in the Democratic platform
adopted at Chicago in 1884, on which the
present majority of the dominant party
was elected. We are not asking anything
from the dominant party, only to fulfill
the promises that it made to the people.
We only look to you and your party to
see that the measures are brought forward
and submitted to the house for it's action,
and we are willing to trust them to the
good judgment Of the members regardless
Of party.

A Sense of HllmOr.

There is somewhere in George Eliot
a remark to the effect that dissimilar
taste IN jokes is great strain upon af-
fection, innumerable families might
serve as melancholy instances of the
truth of the observation. Many mar
riage has come to an unhappy ending
from the lack of sense of humor to
serve as sort of lubricating oil to the
wheels of daily life. There was pro-
found practical wisdom in the advice
given by shrewd and worldly wise old
women to her granddaughter on the
latter's wedding day: ''Feed your
husband well and learn how to amuse
him. and it is safe to say that if the
bride succeeded in filling these two in
functions her married life moved on
with smoothness and happiness. some
body has described humor AS the sixth
sense, and certainly the unfortunate
mortal who lacks this is deprived
of as large a part of the pleasure
of life as man who has lost one of
the five which are reckoned the right
full inheritance of all humanity. 1t is
true that majority of mankind are
more or less lacking in this respect, and
that a genuine and delicate apprecia-
ton of humor is rarer even than
musical ear; yet it is fortunately true
that in most of us exist the rudiments
which may be cultivated into very re-
spectacle capability of enjoying the
ludicrous. Only one man in thou
sand can compass a philosophical
superiority which shall enable him to
regard the accidents of life with undis-
turbed equanimity; but if one can culti-
vate the habit of discovering in all
things a subject for laughter or for
smiles, there are few lots which may
not be very comfortably endured. Up
on him who persistently smiles at fate,
she is very apt to bestow the opportu-
nifty of smiling with her. The sense of
humor, moreover, serves as common
meeting ground for nature which with
out it must forever remain separate.
1t is the password to a secret brother
hood in which the good fellow
ship is perfect. Those who possess it
are never strangers after occasion has
brought recognition of this powerful
bond of sympathy. No matter how di-
verse the tastes, the circumstances, the
ambitions, the sixth sense makes of
one race all who are endowed with it,
and the fact that the exquisite delight
they enjoy must forever remain mys-
terry to ordinary mortals increases the
strength of the bond that unites them.
A comforter in sorrow and misfortune,
lightener of life's burdens. quality
that heightens joy and lightens mysery,
there are few human qualities so well
worth cultivation as sense of humor;
and there is no other which does SO
much to render it's possessor pleasant
to live with or SO much aids him to
avoid the sharp corners and ungracious
characteristics of his fellow mortals
who go through life endowed with but
five senses.-Boston Courier.

Great Decline in Foreign Exports.

The bureau OF statistics has issued a
statement showing that our exports OF
merchandise continue to decline, while the
imports OF foreign merchandise show a de-
cided increase over values for the preceding
year. For the eleven months closed with

$623, ,431 ,67O, a decline OF $40, ,275, ,O65
compared with the same period OF the last

900 compared with the eleven months
ending May 81, 1881. For the past
six years the average value of merchandise
exported for each period OF eleven months
ending with May 81 was $71S, 700, 231, SO
that it will be seen that the exports for the
eleven months just closed fall nearly $1OO-,
600, 900 below the average. The value OF
foreign merchandise imported during the
past eleven mouths was $581, 142, S42, an
increase of $33, 100000 over the same

chandise exported over that imported for
the eleven months was $40, 268, S3S, against
$65, 492 ,O5S for the corresponding period
OF the preceding year. An examination OF
the movements of gold shows a large loss
for the past eleven months, the amount ex-
ported having been $34, 572 ,O4S, against
$40, ,354, $50 imported, net loss OF over
$14, OOO,0 900. In the same months of the
preceding fiscal year our exports OF gold
were S7,735, 900 and the imports $26,-
461, 933. The exports OF silver were $27,-
64S,O and the imports SIG, 63S, O6S,
the excess of imports being about SILL
OOO, 900, against about $14, 600, 900, for
the eleven months of the preceding fiscal
year. The total value OF merchandise, coin
and bullion exported for the period named
was $6S5, ,651 ,8O6 and OF that imported,
$61S, 135, $50, the excess of exports being
SGT ,516, 246, against S161, 256 497 during
the eleven months of the fiscal year oi
1885.
