Tho assistant superintendent at the
police headquarters in Toledo, Ohio, is
"Old Jack'' Campbell now nearly
aixfy-flvo years of age, and who has
been, and still proposes to be, a sub
marine diver. To a reporter he has
related some of his thrilling adventures.
He gave a grnphio description of the ap
caiance of the first sunken steamboat
into which he ever went. It was about
two miles from shore that the vessel had
gone down. He went into her for the
purpose of recovering her cargo. The
bodies were of no consequenoe, he
stated. It is a singular fact," snid he
in substauce, "that the corpses of
women in a sunken vessel always lie
face upward, while men are invariably
face downward. The cnbin of the vessel
presented a horrid appearance. The
bloated bodies all laid up next the ceil
ing. Some were clasped in each other's
armn. One mother had in her arms her
baby. A lniBband and wife were clasped
in each other's embrace so firmly that
they could not pull them apart
I dove once in Mobile bay, where I
put over three thousand chains under an
iron-clad. The greatest annoyance that
we had there was sharks. They didn't
hardly dare tackle us because with our
armor we looked more like soare-crows
than anything else. They would come
Bailing along and gradually swim np
toward us with their great big mouths
wide open, but when withiu a few feet
of us thoy would stop and lay there
flappin' their fins and looking, it seemed
to me like the very evil one himself.
Finally we devised a way to scare them
off that never failed to frighten them so
that they would stay away an hour or
longer before they dare to come back.
The armor that we wear is air-tight, you
know. Our jacket sleeves were fastened
around our wrists with an elastio, so
that the air could not escape. By run
ning my finger under the sleeve of my
jacket I could let the air out, aud as it
rushed into the water it would make a
sort of hissing noise and a volume of
bubbles shoot up. So, whenever those
sharks would come prowling around me
I would hold out my arm toward them
aud, putting my finger under the elastic
of my jacket-sleeve, I would let a lot of
air out and send a stream of bubbles
into the shark's face, with a hissing
noise like steam from a gauge-cock.
The way that those sharks would go
scooting off was funny to behold.
" I have had several narrow escapes
from drowning," said Jack, as he re
lighted his ancient and much-tanned
pipe, "but about the closest call was
when I was workiu' in the waterworks
crib in Cleveland. You see, much de
pends on having a good signal-tender.
I can tell when some one else besides the
regular signal man steps up and tokes
hold of the line. So can any good diver
for that matter. There was the diver
that worked for the Lake Shore Railroad
Company when they were building
the abutments of their new bridge here
across the Maumee. He, by the way,
was paid $40 a day for 100 days. He
was working one day, shortly after he
had begun on the job, and I went down
to see him. The signal-tender asked
me if I would take hold of the line. I
did so, and gave it three or four little
shakes that a good diver always under
stands. He immediately answered back,
and let me understand that he knew I
was there. But I waygoing to toll you
nbout that narrow escape. I had a
signal-tender who didn't hardly under
stand his business. The mouth of the
crib had become stopped up with dirt,
and I was clearing it out. I had crawled
through the entrance, a sort of a door,
and was outside of the crib. My life
line and hose chafed against the top of
the door, and all at once when I went to
turn around, I pulled my helmet off.
Thero 1 was out in the water, where in a
short time I knew I would drown. I
pulled twice on the life-line for the
signal-tender to pull me up, but he
didn't do it. I felt that I was filling up
with water fast, and I pulled again.
But still he did not understand. Of
course all my armor had filled with
water, and as there was no air in it, I
was held down by tons' weight. Sud
denly George, who I was telling you
about, and who had just come down to
see me, stepped up and took hold of the
life-lino, shook it and asked me whnt 1
wanted. I had just strength enough
left to give two hard pulls, which meant
Pull mo up quick.' George, I after
ward heard them tell, yelled to the
signal man aud told him : ' Help mo to
pull in that life-line, aud pull for all
you're worth, for Jack is drowning.'
They hauled me up out of there mighty
quick, now I tell you, and it took lots of
strength to do it, because my armor was
full of water. When they got me to the
surface I was clear gone, and it was
more than an hour before I came to
enough to speak.
" The deepest water that I was in was
168 feet. When one is down so low it is
hard work to get air. I have had the
air-pump manned by six men working
with all their might, and still I've been
obliged to keep pulling on the life-line
and calling for more air."
Washington's Prediction.
In the Maroh number of Harper's
jew monthly Magazine a. riuuips
rints a paper on " Some Unpublished
letters of Washington," and among the
letters there for the first time printed is
one written by Washington himself, but
for and in the name of his wife. In it
he playfully speculates upon the time
of his own death, and curiously enough
guesses within sixteen days of the
actual date, although the lettei was
written in the year 1797. We copy the
passage :
" I am now, by desire of the general
to add a few words on his behalf ; which
he desires may be expressed in the
terms following, that is to say, that
despairing of hearing what may be said
of him, if he really shall go off in an
apoplectic, or any other fit, (for he thinks
all fits that issue in death are worse
than a love fit, a fit of laughter, and
many other kinds which he oould name)
he is glad to hear beforehand what
will be said of him on that occasion ;
conceiving that nothing extra : will
happen between this and then to make
a change in his character for better, or
for worse and besides, as he has enter-
ed into an engagement with Mr. Morris,
and several other gentlemen, not' to quit
the theater of this world before the year
1800, it may be relied upon that no
breach of contract shall be laid to him
on that account, unless dire necessity
should bring it about, maugre all his
exertions to the contrary. In that case,
he shall hope they would do by him as
he would by them excuse it. At
present there seems to be no danger of
Lis giving them the slip, as neither his
health, nor spirits, were ever in ' greater
flow, notwithstanding, he adds, he is
descending, & has almost reached, the
bottom of the hill ; or in other words,
the shades below."

A Reminiscence of Anrirnonrlllr, Tald by a
Prisoner.
An old survivor of Andersonville in
a talk with a representative of the Even
ing Post says : There was an episode
during my life at Andersonville that
standi out in my memory above all oth
ers. While Andersonville developed ex
amples of as noble heroism and seli
sacrillce as the world probably ever
witnessed, it served also to bring out
upon tho port of some of the inmates
many of the most abhorrent and despic
able traits of human nature. The great
est luxury that could be enjoved by a
prisoner was a warm blanket Yet men
were found among the prisoners base
enough to rob their fellows of these oom
forts. A gang of robbers was organized
who went around the camp at night and
tore blanket nud clothes off from
sick and dying men, kicking and beat
ing those who made any feeble attempt
at resistance. Money was also taken
from the prisoners, or anything of value
that could be found upon them. In a
little while tho robberies became so
frequent as to be the worst of our trou
bles. A perfect reign of terror existed,
and we did not know what to do.
Finally, after consultation, we asked
permission of Wirtz to investigate and
see who were the perpetrators of these
outrages, and punish them. Wirtz
granted it, and I thank him far it to
this day. We picked out six men for
trial before a tribunal of our own selec
tion. It snt outside of the stookade
under a confederate guard. A judge,
jury, prosecuting attorney and clerk
were appointed, together with a counsel
for the defence. Evidence was heard
from many of the prisoners, and the
accused were all identified as among the
parties guilty of the robberies. A ver
dict of guilty was found, and they were
sentenced to be hung, and tho entire
proceedings approved by Wirtz, who
ordered the lumber to be furnished us
for a scaffold. We built one sufficient
for our purpose in a few hours. It con
sisted simply of a cross-beam, supported
by two uprights. A platform was con
structed about three feet from the
ground, the first plonk, laid at right
angles with the uprights and parallel
with the cross beams directly above it,
being so adjusted that it could be with
drawn from its position at a moment's
notice. The six condemned men were
escorted to this scaffold by a guard of
about three hundred prisoners, armed
with sticks and clubs. They were
placed on this plank. In lieu of the
customary black cap we encased their
heads iu flour sacks.
Notwithstanding this absence of cer
emony the scene was an impressive one.
The gollows stood near the top of the
hill, and nearly all the thirty-eight thou
sand prisoners were gathered to witness
the execution. They maintained per
fect silence, refraining from any insults
to the condemned, but their hollow eyes,
pale, pinched faces, their savage expres
sion of countenance, were a sufficient
indication that not one should escape.
The ropes were carefully adjusted, with
the knot in each case under the left ear,
and, by a signal, the board withdrawn
from beneath them. There was a drop
of two feet, and the bodies swung about
a foot from the ground all but one.
The sixth man, a former sailor in the
navy, was perceived to have fallen to the
ground. The rope had broken.
In an instant he wa3 on his feet. He
started to run down the hill. The crowd,
comprehending his intention to escape,
followed with a wild yell in pursuit. It
was a flight for life. He had the start
by a few seconds and he made the most
of it. I never saw a man run as he did.
He went down to the morass with nearly
thirty-eight thousand men close upon
his heels. Not finding him there we
looked up and saw him running up the
side of the other hill. We followed. He
made for one of the huts or sheds, but
as soon as he heard us coming got out
and again started on the run. Widen
ing the distance between us he again
sought refuge in a dugout, and a sec
ond time had to abandon it as we came
up. It was twenty minutes before we
had him fast. He begged piteously for
his life, but we had no mercy. We had
to drag him down the hill through the
sand, thence through the swamp, and
up the other hill to the scaffold. He
was held by three men on the platform
while the rope was adjusted the second
time, after we had spliced the rope. He
trembled in every limb. At the given
moment the men pushed him from the
scaffold, and he swung clear from the
ground two feet. The robberies never
occurred again. St.ZouiaEveningPost.
Highland Revenge.
On the shores of Mull, one of the
western islands of Scotland, a crag over
hanging the sea is pointed out as the
scene of a tradition which would form
an excellent subject for either a picture
or a poem. Some centuries ago, the
chief of the district, Maclean of
Lochbuy, had a great hunting excur
sion. To grace the festivity, his lady
attended, with her only child, an infant
then in the nurse's arms. The deer,
driven by the hounds and hemmed in
by surrounding recks, fled to a narrow
pass, the only outlet they could find.
Here the chief had placed one of his
men to guard the deer from passing, but
the animals rushed with such impetuosi
ty that the poor forester could not with
stand them. In the rage of the moment
Maclean threatened the man with in
stant death, but this punishment was
commuted to a flogging in the face of
his clan, which in those feudal times
was considered a degrading punishment,
fit only for the lowest of menials and
the worst of crimes. The clansman
burned with anger and a fierce desire
for revenge. He rushed forward,
lucked the tender infant, the heir of
lOchbmy, from the hands of the nurse,
and bounding to the rocks, in a moment
stood on an almost inaccessible cliff pro
truding over the water. The cries of
the agonized mother aud the chief at the
awful jeopardy in which their only child
was placed may be easily conceived.
Maclean implored the man to give him
back his son, aud expessed his deep
contrition for the degradation he had,
in a moment of excitement, inflicted on
his clansman. The other replied that
the only condition on which he would
consent to the restitution was, that
Maclean himself should bare his back
and consent to be flogged as he had
been. In despair the chief consented,
saying that he would consent to any
thing if his child were but restored. To
the grief and astonishment of the clan,
Maclean bore his insult, and when it
was completed, begged that the clans
man might return from his perilous
position with the young chief. The
man regarded him with a smile of de
moniac revenge, and, lifting the
child above his head, plunged with him
into the waters below. The sea closed
over them, and neither, it is said, ever
emerged from the tempestous whirl
pools and basaltic caverns that yawned
around them, and which still threaten
the inexperienced navigator on the
shores of Mull.
Painting Under the Dome of the Capitol.
A Roman from Rome paints onr cap
itol, says a Washington correspondent.
Brumidi has recently started, at the age
of more than eighty, the bas-relief paint
ing on the frieze of the dome. He has
to climb down into an architectural cave
to get to work. Brnmidi's scaffold is
supported on three diagonal props of
wood, each forty feet long, resting upon
the cornice of the old dome, and extend
ing outward, and half way up their length
making a shelf upon the broad architrave
of the new or superincumbent dome of
iron. Ropes from the gallery above the
new cornice hold these long stanchions.
A couple of ladders desoend from the
gallery by twenty-five long steps to the
scaffold, which is movable'around the
inner circle of the dome. The old man,
at the age of eighty, has to climb up the
inner gallery which is built in the
dome's shell by a ladder, stop on the
balustrade, and go down a second ladder
nearly one hundred feet from the floor
below. Then he stops on a little railed
scaffold, turning himself half way round,
aud goes down the third long ladder. If
he should fall, he would mash down
yonder like a basket of eggs. He has
nothing upon his scaffold but a wooden
chair and a box for a table, and two tall
trestles to reach the top of his design.
His caps of colors are arranged outside
the railings of his scaffold, along the sill
of the architrave. As he stands up to
paint his head is at the knees of the
figures in his desigu. By getting on
the shelf across the long trestles, his
head is even with their faces. The dome
at this height is a little cold in winter.
The old man it the age of eighty is
thrice lonely there by age, by deser
tion and by the solitude of avocation.
He is about fifty feet above the rotunda,
forty feet below the nearest gallery, and
perhaps ninety or one hundred below
the eye of the dome, where, ten years
ago, he finished a huge composition
lying on his back and painting with
whitewash brushes. That immense
composition has in the centre Washing
ton bareheaded, in uniform, sitting with
an inverted sword between a trumpet
blowing Fame and a Liberty holding
the book of law. These figures are
females, and from either side of them
sweeps round the circle of thirteen
Graces dancing on the clouds, the sister
States. They are generally fat and
matronly, and fly the white pennant of
"E Pluribus Unum." Surrounding
this centre are six great groups, Com
merce, Mines, War, &o.
Brumidi's design stands on a painted
sill or base, tinted like marble. It is to
represent in picture or allegory the pro
cession of America from her discovery
to the riddle of her future, looking out
from the eyes of her sibyls: Liberty nd
History. The tints are those of sculp
ture, marble forms depending on natural
shadow, and backed and divided by
whatever naturally arises to the theme,
a church column or a palm tree. Col
umbus descends from his great barge
with uncovered head aud a furled ensign
in his left hand, his boat full of armed
men. The shore end of the plank, on
which ho walks, is beset by Indians, one
bending to kiss his feet, others stand
ing back with gifts. This scene is
about twenty-five feet wide. It glides
into a church scene, which appears to
be the marriage of John Rolfe to Poca
hontas; three cavaliers confronting three
Indian maidens. But this is since under
stood to be Cortez in the halls af the
Montezuma. The'only design or things
iu our period is to be the discovery of
gold in California.
Torture of the Widows.
In the interior of New Caledonia,
which is east of Vancouver's Island and
north of Columbia, among the tribe
called " Taw-wa-tins," who are also Ba
bines, and also among other tribes in
their neighborhood, the .custom pre
vails of burning bodies, with circum
stances of peculiar barbarity to the
widows of the deceased. The dead body
of the husband is laid naked upon a
large heap of resinous wood his wife is
then placed upon the body and covered
with a skin ; the pile is then lighted,
and the poor woman is compelled to re
mained until she is nearly suffocated,
when she is allowed to descend as best
she can through the smoke and flames.
No sooner, however, does she reach the
ground, than she is expected to prevent
the body from becoming distorted by
the action of the fire on the muscle and
sinews ; and whenever such an event takes
place, she must, with bare harais, restore
the burning corpse to its proper posi
tion ; her person being the whole time
exposed to the scorching effects of the
intense heat. Should she fail in the
due performance of this indispensable
rite, from weakness or the intensity of
her pain, she is held up by some one
until the body is consumed. A continual
singing and beating of drums is
kept up throughout the ceremony,
which drown her cries. Afterwards she
must collect the unconsumed pieoes of
bone and ashes, and put them in a bag
made for the purpose, which she has to
carry on her back for three years ; re
maining for the time a slave to her hus
band's relations, and being neither al
lowed to wash nor comb herself for the
whole time, so that she soon beoomes a
most disgusting object. At the expira
ation of the three years, a feast is given
by her tormentors, who invite all the
friends and relations of her and them
selves. Workers in Deep Mines.
Not maay men who see the miners of
the Savage lifted out at the top of the
shaft at change of shift have the courage
to descend into the lower regions of that
mine. Very few even of the old resi
dents of the Couistock would care to
descend into the steaming regions below,
and not one eastern man in a thousand
could be induced to make the trip after
seeing the men popped out at the top of
the shaft, steaming as though just lifted
out of a cauldron of boiling water.
Though they are shirtless naked as at
birth from the waist up and wear only
cotton overalls, they are dripping as if
but a moment out of a pond of water;
yet this is from steam and perspiration.
In all this great heat men must work.
The wonder is that they are able to do
anything but gasp and pant. It is a
pities better fitted for salamanders than
for men. At the head of the main in
cline it is as hot as in the hottest vapor
baths at Steamboat Springs. One would
think that men in such a place would be
quite secure against the rheumatism.
On making inquiries in this regard of an
underground foreman, he said he never
knew any of the men working below to
have the rheumatism. Home of our
sufferers from this disease might try this
cure might procure themselves to be
lowered into the depths of the mine,
there to sit and steam through one shift
per day. But for the immense quanti
ties of ice water they drink, the men
could not endure the great heat in which
they are placed or the floods of perspira
tion pumped from their pores. They
swallow gallons on gallons of it, and it
never hurts them in the least Virginia

How the Danube Feeds the lach.
The American Architect says: Some
time ago a dispute arose between the
German government and certain manu
facturers on the river Aach, which in
volved the determining of the source of
the river, which has its immediate sou roe
in a spring, one of the largest in Eu
rope, as it discharges 1,850 gallons a
second. The bed of the Danube is cal
careous, and its inclination is the same
as that of the ground from the Danube
to the source of the Aach, whioh is at a
level eight hundred feet below. For a
number of years it had been noticed that
at a certain plaoe the Danube lost a por
tion of its waters through holes and
crevices in its bed; this loss was so great
that in times of drought it caused great
inconvenience to manufacturers on the
Danube, who attempted to prevent it
by filling up these holes. This caused
a great outcry from the manufacturers
on the Aach, who maintained that the
Aach was fed by the Danube, and that
filling up the holes was an interference
with their just and natural privileges.
Hence investigations an I experiments.
First, twenty tons of salt were put into
a hole in the bed of the Danube, and
the wator at the source of the Aach was
analyzed for several days, and did give
evidenee of containing salt To obtain
more ocrtain proof, advantage was taken
of the wonderful coloring power of
fluorescine, wldch is the first of a series
of superb coloring substances, which
vary as there is introduced into its com-
fositiou bromine, iodine, or chlorine,
ts power may be judged from the fact
that one part- of fluorescine to twenty
million parts of waier can be detected.
In this experiment fifteen gallons of a
solution of fluorescine were thrown into
the Danube at the suspected point, on
October 9, at five o'clock. On October
12, sixty hours after the solution had
been thrown into the Danube, the
watchers at the source of the Aach
noticed the first discoloration of the
water; this discoloration increasjd until
the evening, and it did not wholly dis-
oppear for more than twenty-four hourB.
It is said that when the discoloration
was mo9t marked, the water gushing
from the spring presented a truly mag
nificent appearance, varying in color
from the most intense green through
light green to a brilliant yellow. This
test established the fact that the mill
owners on the Aach were in the right.
California MnneK
According to a correspondent, the
California coast is full of marvels,
Every year brings something new to the
surtace. Tilings extraordinary m size,
character and mystery are turning up
every day. Wheu California was first
settled, gold was the great thing. The
soil appeared to be a heap of dust It
took a long season to fiud out how rich
this country was m everything that per
tains to agricultural life. A siugle
night's raiu will turn these dust hills
into a verdant pasture. The grasses are
annual. They must be re-sown every
year, unless the seed hidden in the earth
is sufficient for a new crop. Even in the
absence of rain, cattle turned out ou
f what seems to be a plain or hillside, dry
as ashes, pick up a good living on what
is known as the dry crop. The valleys
are hot-beds of vegetation. This is true
of the San Jose valley, the Napa valley
and the Sonoma valley. Fields are laid
out by the mile. The wheat fields ore
small when they embrace only one
hundred acres. They are large when
they are thirty miles long. The taste
here in for huge farms. The land is
worked by machinery. The world don't
show suoh inventions to aid in agricul
ture as are found here. It is common to
see eight horses, four abreast, drawing a
gang of plows. Without machinery
these immense fields could not be culti
vated. One of the machines takes off
the heads of wheat and leaves the 6tub
ble to be burned or plowed in. Before
the machine has done with the crop the
grain is threshed and bagged, ready for
the market, before it leaves the field.
The sheep and cattle are kept in im
mense quantities, and one thousand
head of each is a small allowance.
A Notable Anction Sale.
A recently written letter from Wash
ington contains this item; A very pecu
liar auction sale was commenced in this
city to-day of a most extraordinary lot of
stereoscopic views. There are in the lot
over 111,000 views. It is the collection
of a well-known but somewhat eccentric
gentleman, who has devoted over twenty
years in making the collection. He
gathered the views in all sections of the
world, and it is believed that he has a

the views have been on exhibition in

Long-Sighted Ones.
It is an interesting fact that there are
very few persons in the world possessing
a peculiar keerness of vision enabling
them to see certain planets with the un
aided eye. People with the ordinary
power of sight usually see six of the stars
of the Pleiades; Kepler mentions one
person, who, with the naked eye, oould
see fourteen, and Littrow another who
saw sixteen. Dr. Dawes, an English
clergyman and astronomer, was remark
able for his powers of distinguishing
very faint spots of light; and Mr. Q. M.

A Bridegroom Among Sharpers
A young German from Cincinnati,
freshly manned and exceedingly happy,
set out with his pretty bride for a honey
moon in Rochester, N. Y. A few hours
before the train reached Cleveland,
Ohio, a well-dressed man asked him if
he would not take a cigar and play a few
hands of euchre in the smoking car.
The bridegroom assented, promising to
return to his little dear very soon. Af
ter a few hands, in which be invariably
held good cards, one of the travelers
suggested that they should put up a
penny or two to make the game lively.
Wonderful luck the bridegroom had at
the outset, and then it turned, and he
began to lose first 8250 in his wallet.

his wife's watch. His partner asked
him to call at a hotel in Cleveland, and
inquire for Joseph Geisenheimer, and

Bronchitis.
From Jolm Flaccr. Enn.. of Bennineton. N.
H.s "Three years since I was very much re
duced with a dreadful cough, which resulted in
Bronchitis affecting me so severely as to ren
der it difficult to speak In an andible voice. To
this was added severe night sweats, and I was
fearful of going into a decline. After recourse
to various remedies, to no purpose. I made use
of 'Dr. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, a few
bottles of which fully restored me to health.
Since that time I have bad several severe at
tacks of oougb, but tbe Balsam has always re.
moved them. I always keep it by mo, and
should not know how to do without it.

worse. I have tried many remedieu; they did not help
me, VRORTINK is the medicine for Dropsy. I began

thirty bottles in all. I am perfectly well never felt
better. No one can feel more thankful than 1 do.
I am, dear sir, gratefully yours.
