TO be turned from It's channel before they
can be reached. They werS working d.
rectly under the bed Of the river when It
broke through the roof Of the mine.
Torty-six men were in the mine. but
eighteen OF them escaped. They were in
the lower levels and heard the roar when
the water broke through the upper levti.
They ran TO one Of the hoisting-shaits
and were drawn up just In time, rs the
water was running over their feet as
they started up.
The accident occurred at 900. and there
f. no doubt that the twenty-ciEht men
were dead In five minutes after the irat
crash.

Napoleon Ill was anxious TO recognize
the independence OF the Southern Con-
federacy but his Individual subjects, Only
because the Southerners were slaVe-holu-
ers entertained an almost malignant
antipathy towards them. They could
never reconcile constitutional liberty with
the right TO hold slaves under certain
conditions. A striking example or TINS
occurred in the case Of a naturallzed
Frenchman. who came to live in Vir-
gina, and who CALAMITY devoted himself
to her defense as soon as she was in
vaded by the Federal forces. He served
through the four years. and mace
visit to his family in France soon after
Peace was estaDnshed. Upon arriving
at his homA and as soon as II had pc
come known that he had fought In the
Southern side, his own relations turned
their backs upon him. In vain he tried
to explain the case: that he had not fought
for slavery; that there was principle
Of freedom underlying all other ques-
lions for which the Southern people had
contended, and then referring them 10
the case of Ireland endeavored 10 MUS
trate his point by the condition OF that
country. for whose sufferings he knew
their sympathies were enlisted. IL was Oh
no avail. The unhappy visitor was Us

was but a fair example of a majority or
his people. Pity he had not included the
murder OF President Garfield in his In
vestigations. Perhaps he would have
found that the criminal act Of one crank
was no more evidence OF public depravity
I'm the one case than il was in the other.
Three or four attempts upon the Ire
of the Queen OF England have been MADE
since she was first crowned. II would,
therefore. be quite as CONSTANT in our
French marquis to conclude that the
British people were, on this account,
nation of knavish assassins. 1t Is rather
a Notifying fact to the American nina
that within fifteen years two Presidents
of the United States have fallen victims
TO a crime considered totally
incompatible with the genius Of our Gov

world will not listen TO explanations
they only recognize the fact. IL would

collected that under like conditions ana

HIGH PRICED DRUGS.

ut is n mistake to think that a drug
Cist's life is bed of roses or that he
has no heavy risk in his business" SAID
a druggist to a Post-Express man.
Some people think all a druggist has
to do is TO weigh out his drugs and
make 1,CoO per cent. profit. Nothing Is
further from the truth. True. there is
a large profit in drugs, but then look
at the drugs we have to keep In stock
which are called for seldom, If ever.
Just let me name ever n few OF these
high-priced ones: Cocaine muriate Is
called for very often and costs $3.50 an
ounce.
"NIuriate Of hydrastine costs cents
a grain or ga an ounce. PHO carnine
costs ST an ounce. Curarlne costs 1913
for a fifteen grain vial. and you can buy
10 smaller. Homatropine costs s256 an
ounce. 1t is not called for often and is
uGed TO promote heart action. Hydrocine
costs 80 cents a grain or $40 an ounce.
1t is used as a hypnotic or sedative and
enters largely into the so-call<d liquor
cures The dose Is from one-hundredth
TO one northumberland .fiftieth grain.
Iyoscyamine costs t2Je an ounce and Is
prescribed in mental disorders. Stro-
phanth costs so an ounce and is prescribed
as neart tonic. Inc dose ls from TWO
hundreGth TO one hree-hundredth Of a

ARICHMOND ENTERPRISE
A Home Institution Destined to do the
City Great Good.

Comparatively tew people In our city
realize that we have In our midst an IN
stitution which seems destined 10 MAKE
Richmond better known throughout the
land than any method of adv ,rtising
which could possibly be adopted; IN en-
terprise which by its operations makes
the names Of Virginia and the city or
Richmond familiar as a household word
In every community must be most graf
flying 10 our people. In another part or
this paper will be seen the twenry-third
annual statement Of We Life Insurance
Company of Virginia, whose home Offices
are in this city. Tie magnificent state
ment made by this company shows that
Il is conseryatively managed, and Is IN
a most prosperous condition. The great
work It is accomplishing IN the various
States in which it operates shows that
Richmond has a life insurance company
OF which II may well be proud. The
gross income for 1892 was over half a
million dollars. being five times greater
than the income six years ago, when the
present management took charge of the
company. The amount OF insurance IN
force, being almost slOoo0,0O0. with assets
OF over $4,000, plainly shows that this
company has the confidence OF the pub
lie. We congratulate the management on
having made this the most succ essful
Southern life insurance company, and be-
lieye that It will soSn be one OF the
largest financial institutions in the coun-
try.

"Oh. child of earth! Oh. woman fair! It's
not for thee TO know.
The veil may not be lifted from Futures

But Hope, sweet Hope, bring to thee
from off the golden shore"

TEMPERATURE IN A CELLAR.

 ssNot every cellar is made frost-proof, and not every cellar is provided with fire, , writes Nellie Burns of Freeborn county, Minnesota. | So it is often difficult to preserve vegetables and potatoes unfroz- en during the severe weather of January and February. We are among those un- fortunates who have such cellars, and many devices have we resorted to check the incoming cold. When we used wood for fuel, we put vessels of hot coals in the cellar. Since adopting the use of coal for fuel altogether this winter. that plan is no longer possible; but during a recent severe snap we took several large lamps into the cellar, placed them near the bulk-head entrance, where the cold comes in. and left them burning through the day-lamps with the largest flames. Gentle as was the heat, it's effects was. quite perceptible, and it is no doubt pre- vent the temperature from reaching freez- ing.

MT Mitchell is reputed to be very wealthy, and as Representative Drake icy is fine business man, much em- ployed in the public bushes of the town, and is suspected of buying real estate on the sly to rent to such men, it would seem probable that the rumor is true.

MIR BROWNS WHIST PARTY.


 The drive whist party at H. w. Browns on Friday evening of last week deserves more than a passing mention. Twenty four couples were invited and at least two thirds of that number were present. The playing commenced at an earlier hour than usual and the bell for refreshments sounded about 1920. Af- ter the repast, the company were invited from where they played Gin what is the ice cream rooms in summer) to the floor above, where Mir and Mrs Browns house. keeping rooms are located, to receive the prizes. Mrs K. H. Beardsley and Will liam Hopkins were the winners of the first prizes, and Mrs T. B. StillsOn and Jerome K. Grannis the second prizes. As the distribution of the prizes ended, the strains of violin were heard from where the guests had just come. and soon after. to the surprise of the entire company, gentlemen were invited to secure part ners for the dance. Alfred Cable and John Ferris had erected a platform and taken possession of it. The chairs and stands had quietly and quickly been nov ed out of the basement as soon as the company vacated and in five minutes the room presented much different appear ance and the order and pleasure was thus very soon changed, The dancing was enjoyed to an early hour on Saturday, making the entire entertainment the pleasantest whist party we have enjoyed this winter. The surprise was managed most skillfully by MT and Mrs Brown and they are deserving of many thanks for the enjoyment experienced by all who attended.
