Good Advice. A cotemporary
says: "Now is the time to put every
dollar into circulation." Yes; don't
lock up the money. A "nimble" or
circulating sixpence will do moro to
make business brisk, and work . plenty,
than thousands that are under lock and
key. Every dollar put into circulation
will pay hundreds of dollars of debts in
a vety short timer. Let all remember

How to Kill a Town. Underrate
your neighbor's property; withhold your
support from home mechanics and man
ufacturers and artisans; buy what you
need elsewhere in preference to home;
and if you are in business refuse to ad

prosperous town in America, it is proof
against ingratitude and hard times.

Ju Rons. The New York Commer
cial Advertiser complains bitterly of
tho absurdity of some of tho rules gov
erning the empanneling of jurors, and
particularly of that rule which dis
qualifies a man for the position of juror
who has toruidu and expressed an opin
ion. Tho Advertiser, with great sever
ity, argues that the ignoramus who can
neither read nor write, or the simpleton
who does not understand what he reads,
or the half ignoramus, half simpleton,
who neither reads nor understands, is
esteemed a fit person to pass judgment
in cases that involve tho most mocient-
out interests to society, while the citizen
who has every qualification intelligently
and faithfully to judge of such matters,
is excluded practically on that account.
The habit ot carrying deadly weap
ons is getting to be a nuisance in this
country, and is about as often produc
tive of evil consequences to the carrier
as to any other. A few days ago, in
Chicago, a young man was escorting his
sweetheart through tho street, when a
gentleman stepped up and addressed
tho lady in a familiar manner. With
out waiting for an explanation the first
gentleman drew bis pistol and shot the
latter. He then found it was the lady's
brother bo bad phot. This is a fair ex
ample of the lamentable casualties that
necessarily prow out of the practice of
having deadly weapon's in one's pos
session. Jiioitaulo persons especially
should avoid it.
A Terrible, Heart-rending Dis

pounds of nitro-glycerine, his wagon
passed over a rough bridge rather rapid
ly, which caused an explosion of tho
glycerine, and he, his wagon, horses
and the surrounding trees, etc., were
hurled into atoms in an instant. There
was not a piece of the wagon left a foot
long. The wagon tires were blown in
fragments. Large forest trees in the
vicinity were blown into atoms. A barn
twelve rods below was nearly destroyed.
The man's body was literally blown into
atoms. No piece ot it oould be found
larger than half bis Lead. Small pieces
were found in every direction for sixty
rods around. Northeast Star.

BMCTHERtD TO. DEATH IN A MINE.
Pittston, Pa., May. 23. A column
of smoke, which soon grew dense, rising
from the shaft of the West Pittston
mino yesterday afternoon, at 2 o'olock,
lold that the shaft was on fire, and
caused an immediate rush of all the
people about hero for tho rescue of the
numerous miners known to be below.
There succeeded 24 hours of desperate
exertion to subdue the fire and to pene
trate the recesses of the mine before all
the unfortunate men should bo suffocated.
At the end of that period, tho last of
the 33 who had been entombed was
brought to the surface Eighteen were
dead. Most of iho others were in a
state of insensibility when found, but
recovered upon reaching the air above
ground. With tho horrors of Avondale
fresh in their minds, few had dared to
hope that any of these men could be
saved, and the grief-stricken women
and children clustered as near as they
could about the mouth of the shaft,
wailling piteously, and almost hopelessly
awaiting the result of the search below.
To some of them, who were at first ap-
f tailed by the sight of the apparently
ifeless body of a husband when brought
to the surface, there came the great
happiness of finding that it was but a
seeming death. But rising above all
else were the loud lamentations of
newly-made widows and orphans, and
strong men paled as they worked about
the shaft with frenzied energy.
It has not yet been clearly ascertained
bow the fire originated, though it ap
pears to havo been caused by friotion in
the journals of the sheaves, or of the
breaker, as at Avondale.
LATER.
Pittston, Pa., May 29. The men who
were thought to be rescued from the dan
gers of the mine are dying one by one,
and the phyticians in atlendance express
little hope that any of them will survive.
A number of them were exceedingly strong
men, but the poisonous vapor of the mine,
acting on their systems during so many
hours, has utterly prostrated them. The
nervons exhaustion succeeding the shock
of realizing the hopelessness of their sit
uation, when the nature of the calamity
was discovered, has also, no doubt, muoh
aggravated their injuries Sulphurous
gases are continually emitted from the lay
ers of coal, and lo escupo these, as they
accumulated far down in the mine and
gralually rose, the fated miners sought
the highest accessible point?, to await tho
efforts at rescue. It is now believed that
many of them might have been saved,' if,
as soon as the mouth of the shaft was
cleared, a fan had been employed to force
air down into the passages where the men
wen,, and drive back the rising tide of
choke damp. The large fan which had
been used at the mine was burned, and in
the confusion the expediency of applying
a new one was neglected, until it was too
late.

The "Burlington Ronto," so called,
lies right in the path of the Star ot Em
pire. It runs almost immediately in the
centre of the great westward movement
of emigration. Crossing Illinois and
Iowa, it strikos the Missouri' river at
three points.
These three points are tho gateways
into three great sections of tho trans
Missouri, region.
The Northern gate is Omaha, where
tho great Pacific road will take you to
the land of gold and grapes, sunny
mountains, and perpetual summer.
Tho middle gate is Plattsmouth, which
opens npon the south half of Nebraska,
south of the Platto river, a region un
surpassed on the continent for agricul
ture and grazing. Just here are tho B
& M. Railroad lands, concerning which
Geo. S. Harris, the land officer at Bur
lington, Iowa, can give you all informa
tion, and in the heart of them is Lin
coln, the State Capital and present ter.

The Southern gate leads to Kansas,
by connection with the St. Joe Road at
Hamburg, running direct to St. Joe and
Kansas City.
The trains ot the Burlington run
