dent on Wood and Diamond streets swells
the total number to sixty seven persons
up TO noon. Eleven are dead and eight
fatally injured; twenty-five seriously in
jured; fifteen slightly injured and eight
are missing. 1t is known positively that
there are other bodies under
the ruins and all possible effort
is beng made for their rescue,
but scarcely a hope is entertained that
any more will be removed alive. The
work Of ~eXcavating the debris is progress
ing Systematically and throngs OF PEG

where twenty nine unfortunates are being
cared for it was found necessary TO sta
ton police officers at the doors to hold
the throng Of anX Gus inquirers for miss
ing friends in check. The remains of
DR.. Reed and Willie Golman are still in
the ruins and owing to the extremely
dangerous condition of tottering walls
their removal cannot be effected in safety
for several hours. The coroner will be.

scientific industry, demanding capi-
tai and skill. A rich orc is by 10
r,eans synonymous with large pro.
fits. The presence of gold is ne
cessary element of success, but
equally essential elements are the
tractablc character of the ore, the
situation of the mine, the supply OF
water and fuel and the labor ques-
ton. The problem is II commercial
one, how much gold can be got from
a ton of ore, and at what cost? re
illustrate this by one example
Many times assaying over one ounce
(2O pcnnywcights) of gold per ton
have failed to pay. On the other
hand, a well known Australian mine
since 1857 has raised over a million
ton of quartz, the bulk of whicl,
averaged only 81 dwt. per ton, and
some less than i dwt., yet it has
yielded gold to a value approaching
two million pounds sterling, and has
repaid the original capital many
times over in dividends.
One Of the great charms of gold
mining us an investment is that the
market value of the product is con,
slant, there are no fluctuations in
the price of gold as there are IN
those of other metals, hence sound,
ly established undertaking can never
fail through depressed markets

itself. - Gentlemon's Mogo:ine

Holy Land Railway.

Application has been made by
JOS. Elias, formerly government Gu
gineor for the Lebanon, for a conces-
sion Tor railway from lIaifa, on the
Mediterranean, about midway be-
tween Tyre and C@sarca, by way of
Lake Galilcc, over the river Jordan
to Damascus. Authority for the
navigation of the lake and priori-
ty of right for the extension of a
line over any other applicant for
three years is asked. The line is to
follow the river Kiihon for six miles,
going within three and three quar-
tcrs mile of Nazareth, and then as
ccnding the valley to the watersheds
of the Jordan. The line will pro-
cccd along the Northwest Of the

TuE PYRAMIDS.-Thc old Euyp-
tianS were better builders than those
Of the present day. There arc blocks
Of stone in the pyramids which weigh
three or four times as much rs the
obclis,, in Central Park. There is one
stone, the weight is estimated Mt $50
tons. There are stones thirty feet in
length when fit so closely together
that a pcnknifc may be run over the
surface without discovering the break
between them. They are not laid
with mortcr either. We have no
machinery so perfect that it will make
two surfaces thirty feet in length,
which will meet together in unison as
these stones in the pyramids meet.
1t is supposed that they were rubbed
backwards upon each other until the
surfaces were aSsimilatcd.

TO show the power of praise as an
incentive to noblcr effort, the reader
need but recall the familiar story OF
Ben iaman West. Left alone in the
house with his baby brother, who was
sleeping in a crib, the little fellow,
taking pencil and paper, made 4
crude sketch OF the sleeping babe. On
his mothers return he showed hcl
the picture. Delighted with tho
effort, imperfect rs il was, she
implanted kiss Of appreciation on
the little boys lips. That little act
proved an inspiration in the boys
life. From step to step he pcrsucd
the art, until at last he became q
master painter. And on IN occa.
sion, when asked by friends the Sc
crct Of his success, West gave as
his simple reply, only mothers kiss
made me painter"

Old Political Relies.

1t is hard to realize that almost
twcnty-cight years have elapsed since
the Thirty seventh Congress was
called together by President Lincoln
in extra session, to take into considera-
ton the condition of the country
and to make adequate preparation
for Il war which was deemed incvita-
bic. How few members who an
swcrcd present when the roll was
called on that memorable 4th of
July, are now in public life. Will
liam S. Holman, William Nmdcvcr,
Samuel S. Cox, William ID. Kelly,
are the sole survivors in the House.
Mcssrs. Henry l.. Dawes, Daniel w.
Voorhees,, and Justin $. Morrill, have
been promoted to the Senate. Mr..
Sherman is the only Senator of that
day now in that body. Mr.. Win
dom, then Il member Of the House,
is the Secretary of the Treasury,
and George p. Fisher, his colleague,
is the first auditor Of the same de-
partmcnt. There is living in Wash
ington, however, in private life, a
gentleman, who in that memorable
Congress, cXertcd potential inilucn,n
and was recognized as one OF itS
foremost members, although it wa
his first session. saw him on
Fifteenth Street Il few moments
since. lie is now seventy years old
and his once erect form is little
bent from constant bending over his
desk When he straightcns up he
must be fully six feet tall, and in his
prime weighed probably 10 pounds.
What hair he has is white, and so is
his long beard, which gives him Il
rather patriarchical appearance. His
upper lip is clcanly shavcn, and one has
only TO look at his finely formed
mouth to realize that he is a man Of
great iirmncss OF character, which is
borne out by the searching, bright
hazel eyes which never seem at
rest. And Mr.. Samuel Shcllabargcr
is not merely a man of firmncSs, but
he is the poSscsSor of great and YER
satilc abilities. SO acute an obscr-
yer Of men aS Mr. Blaine thus re-
fcrS to Mr.. Shcllabargcr with whom
he served i'm the House: "Mr. Shcl-
labargcr was distinguished for the
logicaI and analytical character Of
his mind. Without the gift Of ora-
tory, paying little heed to the graccs
OF speech, Mr.. Shcllabargcr con-
qmcrcd by the intrinsic strength of
his argument, which generally
amounted to demonstration. His
mind possessed many of the quail
ties which distinguished Mr.. Lincoln.
In fairness, lucdncSs fulncss of
statement, the two had striking
resemblance This was high
compliment to Mr.. Shcllabargcr, but
those who know him well, think it
fully mcritrl.

Wages in the United States in 1850

The condition of the American
wages class nearly a century ago is
full of instruction. In the large
cities, unskillcd workmcn were hired
by the day, bought their own food,
and found their own lodgings. But
in the country, on the farms, or
wherever a hand was employed on
some public work, they were fed and
lodged by the employer, and given a
few dollars Il month. On the Penn
sylvania canals the diggcrs ate the
coarscSt diet, were housed in the ru-
dcst sheds, and paid S6 Il month
from May to November, and 50 n
month from November to May. IIod
carriers and motm mixers, diggcrs
and choppers, who from 1893 to 1880
laborcd on the public buildings ana
cut the streets and avenues of Wash
ington, received $50 year, or, if
they wished, 500 for all the work
they could perform from March |
to December 20. The hours of work
were invariably from sunrise to sun
set. Wages at Albany and New
York were 3s., or, rs money then
went, 10 cents day; at Lancaster,
SS to $40 II month";; elsewhere in
Pennsylvania workmcn were con-
tent with ST i'm summer and 50 in
winter. At Baltimore men were
glad to be hired at lSd. day. None
by the month asked more than Sc.
At Fredericksburg the price for Ia
Dor was from 50 to 81. In Virginia
white men employed by the year
were given GIG currency; slaves,
when hired, were clothed, and their
masters paid Ct month a pound,
Virginia money, was, in Federal
money, 1888. The average rate Of
wages all over the country was SG5
a year, with food and perhaps lodg-
ing. Out Of this small sum the
workman had, with his wiic's help,
to maintain his family.
