Hurt ON the Incline.

A miner named Bob Greek was
seriously injured Tuesday evening in
coming down the incline on his
"horse." An iron splinter from one
of the rails penetrated the heel Of his
shoe and passing inward splIntered
his ankle bone. Greek has been no.
torions for fast time coming down
the incline, having made the mile in
one minute and fifteen seconds,
which is pretty quick travelling. He
attained this remarkable speed by
not touching the cable as the others
do, and consequently his descent was
more like flying than anything else.

Mr.. Phillip A. Butler recently
showed us three water color pictures
which he intends to send to the Cen
tennial Exposition at Nashville for
an exhibition in the ParthenOn.
The best of the lot IN our estimation
is a northern scene representing an
old fashioned house shaded by a 81
gantic oak. The color of the whole
picture, especially that of the fore
ground, is very bright and refresh
ing, while the house is a true New
England farm house of the old style
both IN color and drawing, A Ven
etian view is the next that strikes
our attention and although we do
know the first thing about how a We
netlan view ought to look, it is a
very interesting composition. The

more difficult composition to handle
