From the New York Heraldl
Verify, verify, say unto you, He that hear.
eth my word, and believeth on him that sent
me, hath everlasting life. and shall not come
into condemnation; but is passed from death
unto life.-John, ", "a.
The careful student discovers that
a belief ip Immortality is inherent in
the human race, that it is equally the
popularity of the most cultured ma
tions, as the Egyptians, the Greeks,
the Romans, and rhe most barbarous
tribes, as the American Indians, the
Zulus, and the New Zeslanders.
This belief takes fantastic shapes
at times, but that is matter of little
consequence. We may even smile
at the childlike crednlity with which
the savage places on the grave of his
chief the food to which he has been
accustomed and murders a stalwart
comrade that he may carry the news
OF a recently fought battle to the
dead warrior who is still interested
in earthly affairs; but the important
fact is that he believes in the future
quite as firmly as he believes in the
present, and has no doubt whatever
that the departed have q local habi-
tation, between which and their old
homes there is possibility Of COM
mppication.
II we may not say positively that
there is no race and no tribe which
is ap exception to this rule, we may
safely assert that no race and no tribe
have yet been found, even in the pro-
foundest depths of barbarism, where
some crude notions of a future Life
do not prevail
The general conception may be
illustrated by a legend from the Ton
ga Islands. It runs that long ago a
canoe on its way home from FIJI was
caught in a gale and driven to Bolotu,
where it was supposed the gods dBelt.
They found the island covered with
beautiful flowers and the iuciest
fruits, the air filed with indescribable
fragrance. birds of exquisite plumage,
wild animals which were immortal
except when killed for the gods to eat.
When this famished crew landed they
found it impossible to pluck the fruit
because it was only shadowy fruit
They walked through shadowy houses
and trees as through the air, but were
SO affected by what they had seen
that soon after they reached home
they died.
Thir is all fabulous and all whimsi-
cal, but some such realistic story,
with thousand notifications, accord
ing to climate and tribal peculiarities,

The declaration Of marriage in Siam
is simpler Even than it used to be in
Scotland. You ask a lady to mary
you by merely Offering her a iowcr,r or
taking Il light from a cigarette II it
happens to be in her mouth; and your
family and the brides family have to
put up ut least $500 apiece for a dowry.
The principal impeachment in the way
of marriage is that each year is named
after an animal. and only certain ami
mails are allowed to intermarry; for in
stance, a person born in the year Of the
cat can not marry with a person born
in the year of the dog. or Il person. born
in the year Of the COW with a person
born in the year of the tiger; and there
are similar embarboes about months
and days akin. perhaps, to the old SUI
perstition in this country that a mar
riage will be unlucky II the birth
months of the bride and groom are fur
apart. April should lot. we'd with No
vember, nor January with Junc.-Bos-

GREWsoME SIGHTS IN A MINE

The Trip Down n Deep Shaft Full
of Thrill to the T~enderfOOt.
Going down into the mine is indeed
a thrilling experience and n rather
overwhelming to the 'trndrrfoot' says
a writer in C:lssier's Magazine. Envei-
oped in suits of waterproof, with hats
Of oilskin and provided with candles, a
party ready for the descent presents a
greWSome spectacle, reminding II for
chilly of certain conceptions of Dore.
The cage. which serves for both passen-
ger and freight. rises to a level with h
floor OF the s%hafthOuse, IL is simply
a platform of wood with uprights and
framing of iron. This fits closely in
the shaft, being lowered and raised by
means of machinery puzzling enough
to the interested stranger, with its
drum, sheaves, cable and various safe
ty appliances. TO take a position on
that little square of wood. feeling that
on this machinery. (which does some
times break, you know" hangs all ones
hope. requires some courage. A ray Of
comfort is derived from the assurance
of the foreman that this same cage has
safely carried down and up all the del
vers below with never an accident yet.
WIFI liz wal IA SaOO"S AAS ~
cage drops. With IL gasp one reaches
wildly about to find nothing to hold to
in that damp darkness. growing so
dense as that square 'hole of daylight"
diminishes so rapidly, and down we
glide, through trickling waters without
jar and in utter silence till, with a thud
the cage stops. $500 feet underground.
The dim candle light casts wierd
shadows as we follow the superintcnd-
ent along a narrow gallery, cut in the
igneous rock to connect the vein with
the shaft. At the intersection another
long gallery extends to the right and
left, but its parallel walls are smooth,
often highly polished. at times four feet
apart; again more, but always with an
inclination TO the vertical. These are
the faces of the tissured rock between
which. overhead and below, is the vein
matter. Through the gloomy darkness
we pick our way cautiously along h
narrow plank. resting on the ties over
the gutterway. Below us the water
rushes down to the shaft. emptying in
to the 'sump," a continuation of the
shaft below the lowest level, serving as
Il we'll out of which the water is lifted
by the great pumps, whose continual
beat, up and down. up and down, with
monotonous regularity, breaks the ST.
lence like the throb of some great hid
den heart. Climbing a ladder, or rath-
err five ladders-for there is n platform
at every twenty fect-in Egyptian dark
ness. illumined only by the light Of a
candle, with ice cold water dripping
from each round and trickling along
ones arm, and a small torrent from the
t%arpaulin hat down ones back, is apt
to dampen, if not to eradicate forever,
any lingering fancy for IL miners life.
