There is a vasr copper mine In England
where shafts extend many hundred yards
under tbe sea. Tbe moaning or the waves
as tbey dash against tbe rocks is forever
sounding in those gloomy lairs. When the
storm comes, tbe sound of the waters be
comes terrific, and even tbe boldest miners
cannot stay below, but leave tbeir work and
come out upon tbe earth. Overhead are
misses of bright copper streaming through
tbe gallery In all directions, traversed by a
network of thin, red veins of iron, and over
all tbe salt water drips down from tiny cre
vices la tbe lock. Immense wealth of
metals is oontained in these roofs, but no
miner dares give it another stroke with bis
pickaxe. Already there bas been one day's
work too much upon It, as a huge wedge of
wsod driven into tbe rock bears witness.
The wedge Is all that keeps back the sea
from bursting in upon them. Yet there are
three tiers ot galleries where men work day
by day, not knowing but at some latal hour
tbe flood may be upon them, rendering all
escape as hopeless as it was In tbe days of
Noab.

Mr. X T. Cleveland, who has been for
20 years past In Texas, and wbo is now 73
yeataold, returned to Boston last week to
visit bis father, wbo, if he lives, will be 100

Pktroi.kum as a Furu There seems a
probability that eventually petroleum will
be largely used ss fuol for locomotives and
tbe engines of steamers, sluce in proportion
to Its weight its beating power is greater
than that of any coal. We notice that Eu
ropean engineers are bestowing considerable
attention npon this subject. M. Diendonne
recently exhibit In France tbe model of a
small engine beated by means or petroleum.
This locomotive carries 2.050 litres or oil
in tbe tender, a band pump forolng tha oil
into a smaller reservoir near the boiler.
This eogine consumes its own smoke per
fectly, and the driving apparatus is said to
be very simple. A larger locomotive, with
some small improvements, has sincf been
built, wblcb bas drawn a train of fourteen
carriages with ease, and bas already travel
ed over two thousand kilometres, (about 1,
250 miles) without accident. Tbe con
sumption af oil was tblrty-flve per ceut.
less by weight than that of good patent
compressed coal; one kilogramme a little
more than two pounds of oil produced
twelve kilogrammes (twenty-five pounds) or
steam. The same system has been applied
with success to tbe yacbt Puebla.
This is what Theodore Tilton knows
about prize fighting: "Every prize fight,
being against tbe law, ougbt to be stopped
by tbe public authorities. But this is not
eooi'gb. When a priza fight has been thus
stopped, and tbe two heroes are seized, tbe
joint stakes for which they fought or were
to figat ought to be confiscated to the gov
ernment. The officials wbo stepped Into
tbe ring between Mace and Coburo ougbt
to bave carried out with them the five thou-
land dollars for which tiiese two gentry pro
posed to mellow each other's mugs."
Whereupon tbe Cleveland Leader man
observes that "perhaps he would like to
volunteer in a nice little parly to go into a
ring among those two or three thousand
gentle beings and carry off what money
there wis about there. Besides, the stakes
when there are any reality are usually
locked up lo some pugilist's saloon lar away
from tbe tight, or deposited in a Broadway
bank to tbe private account of tbe Clipper
editor. The Golden Age means well, but
Theodore Is not up in the mysteries or tbe
manly art."
