The Calaveras Chronicle relates this Recount of an accident in the Qwin mine, which, although resulting harm lessly, was such a narrow escape from terrible death that its contemplation chills the blood with horror : A young nan named Nuner, a bucket-lander, was knocked head-foremost into the shaft and escaped with out any iniunr whatever. When it is understood that the shaft is over eight hundred feet deep, the miraculousness of the escape from instant death will be apparent. The bucket had just come up, and Nuner had "landed'' it. Subsequently, whilo pnssing botween the bucket and the shaft, Nuner was ttruck by the tub and knocked head long into the yawning abyss a swinging motion having been suddenly given to the bucket by the effort of the engineer to get the machinery "past center." Fortunately, after descend a few foet, Nuner struck a timber in the shaft, which partially broke his fall, and at the same time was lucky enough to be within reach of the bell wire, which he grasped. His momen tum was so great, however, that al though he clung to his frail support with an energy nerved by desperation, his hold was broken, and he continued his frightful passage down the shaft. Another set of timbers impeded his fall, and again clutching the bell-wire, Nuner succeeded in stopping his de scent. He reascended and resumed his work as though being pitched into an 800-foot shaft was an e very-day oc currence. We doubt whether the his tory of mining accidents furnishes a parallel to the one which we have nar rated for presence of mind and mirac ulous escape from what seemed inevit able death. k "Mother, mother," cried a young rook, returning hurriedly from its first flight, "I'm so frightened. I've seen such a sight!" "What sight, my son?" asked the rook. "Oh, white, creatures screeching and running, and straining their necks, and holding their heads ever so high 1 See, mother, there they go," "Geese, my son, merely geese, calmly replied the parent bird, looking over the common "Through life, child, observe that when you meet any one who makes a great fuss about him self, and tries to lift his head higher than the rest of the world yon may set him down at onoe for a goose 1" Commodore Vanderbilt wears a white tie, and looks like a minister. The correspondent of the Chicago Inter-Ocean says he was coming down in a street-car, when two young men entered, both being intoxicated.. Per ceiving the venerable gentleman, one of the young men addressed him with, "I s'pose yer think I'm going straight down to h(hic) ell, don't yer?" "Why no," said the Commodore ; "I hope not." The young man nudged his com panion, and nodding towards Vander bilt, said, "He's a (hie) Univers'listl" Speaking of the Tilton-Beecher af fair, Major Bullfinch perpetrated a solemn joke. He was out boating with a party if ladies who, for fun, be gan rocking the craft. Suddenly old Bullfinch run the boat ashore. "What did you do that for?" de manded the company. "Why" he responded solemnly, "when she gets to tiltin' better beach her." The ladies screamed, jumped out and waded ashore. A Paris correspondent says : "There is a new fashion in jewelry which I must mention, and that is, that ladies wear pending to a velvet strip around the neck, or to their brooch, the med als or crosses won by their husbands for the service they have rendered their country. The gentlemen wear the ribbons only; the ladies wear the medals." A Maine man, who was dying, ar ranged his worldly affairs very coolly. "As to the funeral," he said, after ev erything else had been settled, "I guess Sam Hubbard had. better lead the services. He's an easy, fluent talker, and I allers liked to near him. I've had dealing' with him, and allers found he set out things just about as they was." A convivial club called "The Win ning Cards," has been established at Dubuque. It is limited to fifty-two members, known as "the pack," each bearing the name of a card. The pre siding officer is the "Jack of Clubs," and the tray, of course, carries around the liquid refreshments. Ralph Waldo Emerson never had toothache, boils, or a son belonging to a base-ball club. He said recently: "I never had a trouble or a sorrow which I conld not forget in fifteen minutes in the perusal of some favor ite author." , The editor of the Worcester Gaz ette says that dancing is apt to pro duce apoplexy. When he nut his arm around a pretty partner for the first time, it anected him worse than the delirium tremens. It ia said that Miss Kellogg, the singer, receives on an average twenty letters a uay requesting her auto graph. First irate female "I'd hate to be in your shoes!" Second ditto "You cooldn t get in them!" It is said that Brighani Young has made his will ana given his iriends ten children each.
