WEST GRANITE.
The Butte crossctlt is in 62O feet. The
face for the last two days has been in
very promising looking granite. From
the number OF tale seams encountered
it is believed that the header is approach
ing vein, which, according to the pap
should be the Elizabeth.
On the 4O1-foot level Of the Rattle
snake a crcsscut is being run to the
north. The vein split near the line OF
the Fraction and the main header fol-
lowed spur to the south as it was the
most promising looking. The crosscut
to the north is to intersect the vein that
was left when the spur came in. The
crosscut is making good headway in a
porphyritic granite out of which comes a
large flow of water.

Damp Cellars.

The most prominent causes of damp
cellars are:
l. Dampness permeating the walls.
>. Dampness from saturated soil ap-
pearing below the walls
3. Dampness from imperfect plumb
ing.
4. Moist ground air permeating cellar
bottom, forced in by air pressure.
The iirstis an evidence of either poor
workmanship and material or imperfect
drainage. Should it be the former. and
discovered IN time, a compulsory re-
moval of the work is the best remedy.
A good wall Cstone is here UNDERSTOOD
should have every space completely
filed. Small fiat stones make the best
work when carefully bonded and fitted.
Look out for walls showing nothing but
large flat stone on the outer faces. as
such are often but dry concrete in the
center If the work has progressed too
far 10 allow the wall to be taken down,
the remedy is thorough coating of ce-
ment on the outside-from grade to
footing backed by careful drainage Of
tie immediate vicinity. Great care is
necessary to keep the surface water from
the building on all sides. 1t will not
suffice to keep it five, ten, or twenty feet
away, and then allow it to pool,
as the ground will absorb it, and if the
strata should happea TO incline in the
direction of the cellar, conduct the
moisture to the wall, where although
perhaps not appearing in drops on the
surface, still keeping the Joints damp
enough to affect the atmosphere and
cause the mortar to decay.
Good. clean, yellow clay, well pud
died and rammed around the walls, is an
excellent protection, and one that should
never be omitted
Frequently, in neighborhoods thinly
settled, where the wage system is i'm
perfect, or, rather, not completed, the
ground becomes waterlogged, or so satu-
rated with moisture as to cause any shall
low excavation to collect water, and it

a rain all these depressions hold the
water with great tenacity In fact, the
soil seems unable to absorb any more.
Cellars sunk in such ground will be

while any small knoll, caused by unegen
excavation, may be perfectly dry on top,

Transport Department. 4 huge male
elephant. aged. according to oiHcial re
cord, ninety-two years, the property of
Government, was condemned to death
for a long and hardened course OF iniqui-
ty. He had been long in a chronic must
state, and in this condition had taken a
human life at Poona about couple of
years ago. He would not work, and was
source of apprehension to all about
him and a perpetual cause OF anxious
concern to Government. The fiat went
forth that he must die The Maharaja
Holkar and the Rajah of Dhar each sepa-
rately teiegraphed to headquarters and
tried for reprieve. One offered to buy
the grand looking sinner for is. 1000,
and the other offered to exchange a fe-
male elephant of gentle manners for the
savage brute: but the Government Of In
dia were determined on ma ing the
criminal expiate his sins. These offers
were refused, and a private notice was
sent round the station that the execution
would take place on Thursday morn
ing. Several peope, including volunteer
executioners, hurried to a spot indicated
outside of Cantonments where the male
factor was already chained and secured
between two death-plan trees. The vol
nnteer marksmen, armed with 12-bore
express rifles, were selected to carry out
the execution. The elephant was sitting
down when the crowd began TO Assem-

Infantry, placed a bullet in the centre of

His Majesty Excepted.

The celebrated court preacher, Kober,
once preached very powerful sermon
against intemperance. The Grand Duke
OF Saxony, whose nose looked like Chi
nese lantern, happened to be present, and
he naturally regarded the remarks as re-
ferring to himself consequently he
looked very severely at the eloquent
court preacher, who, catching the Grand
Ducal eye, modified his remarks by say
ing:
drunkenness is undoubtedly a great
and heinous sin, against which every
true Christian should be warned, except
ing, of course, our beloved Grand Duke,
whom God preserve to us many years
yet.-FliegeHde Biaetter.
