Countries to Avoid and Lands Where Opportunities Are Offered. The Emigrants’ information Office in Dublin has issued a statement tell ing intending emigrants some places to avold. During the ‘last year, the statement says, work has been un usually hard to obtain in Canada and wages in many cases have lower than in 1807. New South Wales, Victorta, Queens land and Western Australia are cited as reporting good farm laborers and but poor chances for mechanics or miners. In Queensland and Western Australia farms of 180 acres of land are offered free to approved settlers New Zealand holds out offers for farmers, farm laborers and female servants and to this country reduced rates of passage are offered, The statement warns men against Cape Colony and the Transvaal, say. ing that the demand for work in those colonies already is greater than the supply. There is an occasional chance for female servants. The statement concludes with this about the United States: “Emigrants from the United King. dom should not go to the United States in the hope of finding work for some time to come, and not then unless there has been a marked and sus tained recovery from the depression.” Money is accumulating in New York City more rapidly than at any time in the last two years.

Speaking of heroes, there is a Welshman st Macon, Mo., who might have been in the class of Binns had the scene of his exploit been nearer the footlights. In the year 1880 Tom Francis, short, stout and active, was superin- tendent of Mine No. 1 of the Loomis & Snively Company. One day the men below were engaged in making 8 new furnace sO as to afford better ventilation in the far end of the mine. Near where the men were at work was an old mine, long since aban- doned and full of water. An unfor- tunate blast made an entrance into the mighty underground reservoir and the black water came pouring into the new works. The miners scurried out of the dan- gerous place and told Tom Francis what had happened below. In the old country Francis had met similar emergencies and he knew what to do. Like the captain of a battery striving to save his pleces from an onrushing enemy, the boss picked out the men he wanted—Tim and Davy and Bar- ney and Dan and others. Then he went to the door of the engine room and told the men in charge to get busy with the pumps. The little party went down in the cage, where a mule train waited. There was a John Gilpin ride to the cross entry, where the miners got out and scrambled along the black lane through mud and water above their ankles. The boss led the way, fol- lowed by the men carrying sacks of brick. Standing knee deep in water he placed the foundation brick in the cavity through which the black tide was sweeping. The brick had to be laid carefully, lengthwise in double and triple rows. Working under forced draught, the engines on top did the best they could, but the water rose steadily Sometimes the torrent pushed the brick aside and flowed with renewed energy. A stream of men passed the brick to the subterranean builder When the water had risen above Francis’ waist one of the owners of the mine, Mr. Loomis, sent down a peremptory order for the boss and his men to withdraw and let the mine ge to smash. n But Franels kept on with his brick barricade. The water rushed fiercely swept off his feet. The black fluid dashed into his nose, ears and eves When his pit light went ont a miner and handed him a new light. of bricklaying, playing his life against the dark sulphur water, and his wall grew higher. There was nothing | spectacular about disagreeable job in a darkness sc it with a butcher knife. Finally he been at work twenty-four hours with. been saved, Francis staggered through | he fell unconscious into the arms of the waiting men. He was laid up fot | several days. The owners of the mine thanked Mr. Francis and gave him 8 gold watch. There was not much talk of the affair. A paper at the county seat sald that “Mine No. 1 was threatened with inundation the other day by a break into some aban. doned works, but the superintendent and a force of men repaired the accel dunt before serious damage was one.” x. travagance, 0 it do.” a - ATTORNEYS, D ¥.
