The Buttercup Mine.

In consequence of the damages
occasioned by the snowslide which
occurred last week at the Buttercup
mine on Willow creek, Superintend-
ent Childs has suspended further
operations at the mine until spring.
The closing of work during the win
ter will no doubt be quite a draw
back to the Development Of the
mine, bat the casualty which has
caused the cessation of work for the
present was beyond the power OF
human efforts to avert. There is
nothing, perhaps, that starts so 81
lilently and suddenly, carrying de,
vastation before it, as fearful
snow avalanche. 1t gathers mo-
mentum with every inch in Its
course so rapidly that there is moth
! ing before it that can Withstand Its
furious force; and the miners who
were at the Buttercup at the time
of the catastrophe ought to tee
thankful that they escaped the tate
Which befell their poor comrade
! who, without warning, was so quick
| ly ushered into eternity.

We were on the train and hearing

Washington Press, the only Republi-

charging bulldozing of negroes by

for Mr.. Andrew Price to present him
self in the hall of the House Of Repre-
sentatives with certificate signed BY
one Nichols, who calls himself Gov
ernor of Louisiana, asking for seal
in Congress. The farce will end then
and something serious will happen
Price will probably be asked to stel
aside. In fact, there is very lfttl
doubt of this, as the people Of tn
North are tired OF these electian farces
where the will Of the majority
set aside by fraud and force, and tn

How to Get TO Sleep.
New York Tribune

New York Tribune
The suggestion recently made IN
this column in regard TO methods Of
inducing or promoting slerrineSs has
been put to practical test by one
constant reader Of the Tribune with
most gratifying results. The sug-
gestiou was that sleep could be wooed
successfully by method of counting
in this fashion: !, 2; |, ., 3; |, ;, }, /;
|, =, 3, i, >, etc, up to %. The eN-
pcrimenter relates his experience IN
the following language: My plan IL
not to count rapidly, bat to call OF
mentally one figure with every cx-
riratou of breath. y person IN COOL
health counts at that rate about
twenty II minutc. Before reaching
% in this scale h. must count for
about sixteen minutes, AZ the sei,"'
mounts up to so counted straight
ahead. Bat have found one decided
advantage over counting IN regular
| order. That can be done mcchani-
cally, without any mental activity
whatever. The other method Is not
burtlensome to my mind, but furnishes
lust enough material to keep the
thoughts off ether subjects. often
find myself forgetting the number at
which ought to stop and return 10

Times -Democra,
Frankfort, Ky.--A. NJ. Pulliam,
until few months ago judge Of
Breckenridge County Court, is now an
inmate of the penitentiary here, where
he will remain fifteen years, unless
death releases him sooner. He has
donned the stripes, and was put to
work-probably with men he had
himself sent to prison for their mis-
deeds.
When sentence was pronounced on
Judge Pulliam at Brandenbarg, he
did not make a speech, but read an
address to the court, in which lie held
that he should, according to the law,
have been either sentenced to death
or acquitted. 1t was defense in
which he insisted that he only acted
the part of slayer to avenge the out
ragged sanctity of his home and his
own honor. His provision for his
burial, in case he should die in prison
is remarkable.
