closed by a lockwood cover, traversed by
twenty-seven sharp iron points, which
plunged at their base in the ore. All the
system was united to the earth by a
large chain. The enemies Of Diwisch.
Jealous of his success at the court of Vi
emma, excited the peasants Of the locality
against him. and under the pretext that
his lightning rod was the cause of the
great drought, they made him take down
the lightning rod which he had utilized
for SIX years. What is most curious is
the form of this first lightning rod.

He concluded that II was necessary for
him to have a gunboat with which to
patrol the river No regular boat could
pass the shoals to come far enough up the
Tennessee river for the purpose; besides,
II he asked the government for gunboat
the war might end before he could get 1t.
He found an old mule ferryboat This he
patched up, and mounting gun forward
set her afloat under the name of the
"Gunboat Tennessee" There is some
thing ludicrous in the military gravity
with which he gave his instructions to its
commander. When one considers the inn
mense resources that were placed at the
disposal Of other generals and the make
shifts of Mitchell, working with nothing
except what he could improvise, there is
something more than ludicrous in this
order. 1t is pathetic;
CAPTAIN; You are placed In command
of the Gunboat Tennessee, now lying at
Whitesburg. You will find one piece Of
artillery on board the boat. You will
take ON board crew Of armed river men
from your own company such as you may
deem necessary. You are also authorized
to take ON board volunteers from the de-
tachment of the Fifteenth Kentucky, now
at Whitesburg. Go prepared for any
emergency to work your boat should the
horses and mules be killed"
The Gunboat Tennessee did good SER
vice. Steam soon replaced the mules, and
the peculiar looking craft continued to
patrol the river till Gen. Mitchell left the

mer and General.

Education Among the Chinese.

As a people the Chinese males are better
educated than any other race Of people in
the world. Education to certain extent
is compulsory for all Chinese males,
although the mass cannot DO much more
than read and write; still to that extent
they are all educated. 1t has been the
policy Of the Chinese government for
hundreds of years to select a certain num-
Der Of boys from each district and educate
them for historians and writers. Their
work is never completed, for as long as
they live and are able to do anything they
continue to study and write. Every five
years they pass an examination, and, ac-
cording to their proficiency, they are pro-
NOTED to office or rank. AS rule no
Chinese can hope to attain prominence in
any civil or military Office pertaining to
| the government unless he has succeeded
as a scholar, for the Chinese believe no
man can succeed as scholar unless he
has ability, and if he possesses ability,
why then, as a matter of course, he is q
suitable person to hold office; but no mat
ter how high the Office may be, he must
| continue his studies, the duties of his
office being generally performed by a
deputy.-San Francisco Cor. Chicago

SPAFFORD.

The worst blizzard Of the season,
and some of our oldest citizens
say the worst they ever witness
ed in this vicinity, passed through
here last week, Thursday. About
Is inches of light snow fell and the
wind blowing gale piled it up in
great heaps, blocking the highways
and stopping all public travel. The
Springfield stage failed to make its
trip and, / think, for the first time in
six years or since the writer has liv-
ed here. The road was broken out
so the stage was on time Saturday.
The snow was piled around many
farm houses in fearful manner,
blocking front doors so as to take
considerable shoveling to open paths.
TAKES HIS HOLE In AFTER HIM.
Moses March, who keeps his own
house living about mile, cross lots,
from the station, upon going to his
door the next morning found that he
was completely buried, the drift be-
ing up to the roof of his house. Not
feeling quite ready to be shut out
from the outside world he took his
shovel and commenced shoveling, ia
king his hole in after him, actually
tunneling through the drift.
A SAD CASUALTY.
Loren Brooks bright eyed little
girl aged about Z 1-2 years was look
ing out of the window seeing the wind
play with the snow when clump of
snow crust was blown against the
glass, breaking it and pieces striking
her face. Besides cutting her lip
one piece struck in her eyeball cut
ting zigzag cash about 3-8 of an
inch in length running from near the
sight. DR.. Emerson of Chester was
called the next day, as soon as he
could be got here for the drifts, and
dressed the eye, and on Sunday
while under the influence of anas.

cash. She will probably lose the eye
