Salt oa Wheat La ad.
A correspondent, J. T. S., of Co
lumbus. Ohio, writes to the Grange
Bulletin as follows couceruing his ex
peneucs with salt on wheat laud :
Having learned through the col
umns of your valuable paper that
some of your readers have realized
good results from the sowing of salt

to experiment on my soil. Accord
ingly in the fall of '81 I bought 8
barrels of salt, some ot wbiun was
applied before the wheat was souru
and some afterwards.

tiug ou some parts 150 pounds, aud

any difference that might exist in

difference in the growth nor any in
the vield. I did uot notice thai the
straw was any stronger or brighter,
or the kernels better, where salt bad
been applied than where it had not.
Oue of the fields, about two acres
of which had been covered with salt
was sown to clover the following

so heavy and the weather so fine the

selling at IS per ton. 1 do not con
sider this bay good feed for horses

feed for cattle and idle horses. I ob
served that the clover grown on these
where salt had been sown was not
so thick nor growthy as the other. I
am convinced that the presence of
salt was the cause of thw, as the soil
is not different and the clover seed
was sown the same day.
While I might realize other results
another season, my conclusion is,
that as a general thing I would uot
profit much by sowing salt on my
wheat land. I do not doubt that on
some soils that the application of
salt might give good results ; and I
think each farmer would do well to
determine for himself the effect to be
had by putting salt on his land.

Detail of the Disaster
at Diamond, III.
Sixty-eight Men and Six Boys Perish
by the Flooding of a Coal Shaft
; Startling Scenes.
A aaw
Joliet, III., February 17. The
Diamond coal mine, at Braid wood,
a large mining town twenty-five
miles south of this point, caved in
yesterday, burying seventy-five men.
. 1 . 1 it J. A.
A subsequent aispaicn says ior.y
five of theee miners are dead.
A dispatch from Chicago says that
MrJ A. L. Sweety president of the
four mines comprising the Diamond
mioewompany, confirms the reports
ofjjfe- lerribledisasterat Braidwood.
Mr. Sweet's information is that 300
men were in the various shafts
yesterday afternoon when the ground
sagged in under the weight of water
that had both saturated and loosen
ed it. Sixty two were in one shaft
which caught the bulk of the fall
ing debris, and which was instantly
flooded. Every one was drowned or
smothered inside of five minutes.
fneir bodies are now buned under
manv tons of earth. One hundred
acres have been excavated, and the
initiers not in the one unfortunate
shaft all escaped. Digging and
pumping is going on vigorously, but
it will be many hours before the first
bodies can be reached.
The mine was of the ordinary
kind, supplied with regular shafts,
and supposed t be well protected
from accident The wires to Joliet
are in bad shape and no report is yet
received.
Joliet. III., Feb. 17. Gloom,
despair, and desolation havegener
ally settled over the poor miners of
Diamond. The number drowned is
definitely fixed at seventy-four, a
already stated. The greater portion
of the families who suffer are of for
eign birth, and have been residents
of this country but a short time.
Hie prairies about the shafts are a
vide waste of water, across which a
cold, piercing gale is sweeping. As
matters are settling aown, ana at
tention turns to the causeof the dis
aster, some blame the corporation
because a more experienced man was
not kept at the bottom of the shaft
whose dutv it should be to watch
the pumps and sound an alarm in
caie of danger. Thomas Dailev, a
new hand, stood at his post W hen
he saw the water gaining on him. in
stead of sounding an alarm he rush
ed to the top of the shaft to see if
1 , rr i r
the pumps were at wor. upon nis
return he found the water up to his
waist He then directed the drivers
to run back and escape by tne air
shaft and yell to the men as they
ran, and did what he could himself.
He saved one bov, all be could reach.
when he ascended and sounded the
steam whistles, which called out the
villagers.
EXTE5T or THB CALAMITY.
Sixty-eight men and 9ix boys lie
dead in the mine and it rcay be
weeks before even the melancholy
satisfaction of recovering their bod
ies is accorded. .No such calamity
has befallen this section of the coun
try or any other mining region.
Whole of Diamond is devoted to
mining, and this blow carries death
into a hundred families. In several
instances all the male members of a

ALL THE IMPRISONED WORKMEN DEAD.
Braidwood, 111., Feb. 19. These
dispatches on Saturday contained a
telegram giving information of a fa
tal land slide in a coal mine at this
place on Friday. The extent of the
disaster was not then positively
a-nown, but later discoveries verify
the worst fears that were entertained
seventy persons having been over
whelmed and killed.
The shaft in which the accident
occurred bas been working for the
pant eight years. It is situated at
Diamond, a little village about four
miles southwest of Wilmington and
two miles north went of Braidwood.
The country theraUmt is as level as
a floor, with perhaps a slight incli
nation toward the mines. The sud
den thaw and heavy rainfall have
transformed the prairie into a lake
for miles around. About Diamond
the water stands from six inches to
three feet in depth. With scarcely
any warning there suddenly appear
ed an opening from the surface of
the esrth into the mine.
The surface being covered with
water, it took only a short time for
tne water to permeate the entire
mine, drowning all who were unable
to get out before the rising water
caught them. In opening this mine
a shaft seventy-five feet deep was
sunk into the earth. At rij;ht an
gles to this two main galleries were
run nearly parallel with the surface
of the earth, and about seventy-five
feet below it. From these main
galleries narrow spurs or gangways
are dug out in various directions.
These spurs rise and fall with the
ledge of coal, sometimes rising to
within twelve or fifteen feet of the
surface.
It was at such a point very near
the top where the break occurred.
While lying on his back, pick ing
away at the coal above, the earth
must have fallen upon the doomed
miner. Through the opening thus
made tbe water poured in. filling
one gangway after another, and cut
ting off escape to the central shaft
There was little time to give an
alarm, for in less than an hour from
the time the break ocenred every
avenue of escape was cut off, and
every occupant of the mine at that
time most have been drowned.
These galleries were low and narrow,
and only by painfullyslow crawling
could the poor victims escape. The
noise accompanied the rise of the
water, and the first indication had
of their danger by many of the
dead was a chilling sensation of cold
water trickling along the pathway
in which they lay at work. There
was an air shaft offering an addi
tional avenue of escape, of which
many availed themselves; but the
water came in too rapidly to allow
all to reach it
The mine was not considered es
pecially dangerous, tliough a break
had occurred once before at about
the same plce. There is no chance
of a rescue, but in order to reach the
bodies of the dead Mr. Fordyce, gen
eral manager of the company, bas
gone to the scene of the disaster with
two steam pumps. It is said that
an effort will be made to reach the
mine from shaft No. 1, but there is
not the remotest possibility of find
ing any of the men alive. The wages
paid averaged between 50 and $75
per month, and the majority of the
men owned their homes. There will
be suffering, but the miners, as a
class, are not improvident The
majority of the workers underground
are foreignen English, Scotch and
Irish,

The Bad By.
"I was down tothdnig store this
morning, and saw your ma buvintr
a lot of court plaster, enough to
make a shirt, I should think. What
is she doing with so conch court
plaster?" aeked, tbe gresryiaa of
tbe bad boy, hecataein and p-oll-ed
off his "boots by the stove and
emptied out a lot of snow, that bad
collected as be walked through a
drift, on the hearth, which melted
and made a bad smell.
"Oh, I guess she is going to patch
pa up so he will hold water. Pa's
temper got him Into the worst muss
you ever see, last night If that
museum was here now they would
hire pa and -exhibit bim as.the tat

old to be mauled as though 1 was a
kid, and any man who attacks mc
from . this out," wants to have his
peace made with the insurance com
panies, and know that his calling
and election is sure, because 1 am a
bad man, and don't you forget it"
And the boy pulled on his boots and
looked so cross and desperate that
the groceryman asked him if he
would'nt try a little new cider.
"Good heavens," said the grocery
man, as the boy swallowed the ci
der, and his face resumed its natural
look, and the piratical frown disap
peared with the cider. "You have
not stabbed your father, have you?
I have feared that one thing would
bring on another, with you, and that
you would yet be hung."
Naw, 1 have nt stabbed him. It
was another cat that stabbed him.
You see pa want me to do all the
work around the house. ; The other
day
he bouzht a load of kindling
i wood, and told me . to carry it into
the basement . I have not been ed
ucated up to kindling wood, and I
didn't do it When supper time
came, and pa found that I had not
carried in the kindling wood, he bad
a hot box, and he told me ii that
wood was not in when he came bock
from the lodge, that he would warm
my jacket Well. I tried to hire
some one to carry it in, and got a
man to promise to come in the morn
ing, carry it in and take his pay in
groceries, and I was going to buy
the groceries here and have them
charged to pa. But that wouldn't
help me out that night I knew
when pa came home he would search
tor me. So I slept in the back hall
on a cot But I didn't want pa to ,
have all his trouble for nothing, so
I borrowed an old torn cat that my
chum's old maid aunt owns and put
the cat in my bed. I thought if pa
came to my room after me, and
found that by his unkindness that I
bad changed to a torn cat, he would
be sorry. Tht is the biggest cat
you ever se, i nd the wort tighter
in our ward. It isn't afraid of any ,
thing, and can whip a New Found
land d g quicker than you could put
sand in a barrel ' of sugar. Well,
about 11 o'clock I heard pa tumbling,
over the kindling wo n, and I knew
by the remark he made, as the wood
slid around under him, that there
was going to be a cat fight real quick.
He came up to ma's room, and
sounded ma as to whether Hennery
had retired to his virtuous couch.
Pa is awful sarcastic when he tries
to be. I could hear him take off
his clothes, and hear him say, as he
picked up a trunk strap, 'I guess I
will go up to his room and watch
the smile on his face at he dreams
of angels. I yearn to press him to
my aching bosom.'. I thought to
myself, mebbe you won't yearn so
much directly. He came up stairs,
and 1 could hear ' him breathing
hard. I looked out around the cor '
ner and could see he just had ou his
shirt and pants, and his suspenders
were hanging down, and bis bald
head shone like a calcium light just
before it explodes. " Pa went into my
room, and up to the' bed;, and I
could hear him say, 'come out here
and bring in that kindling wood, or
I will start a fire on your base burn
er with this 9trap.'
And then there was a yowling
such as I never beard before, and pa
said, 'Helen Blazes,' and the furni
ture in my room began to fall around
and break. O, my ! I think pa took
the torn cat right by the neck, the
way he ' does me, and then left all
the cat's feet free to. get in their
work. By tbe way the cat squalled
as -though it was being choked, I
know pa bad him by the neck. I
suppose tbe cat thought pa was a
whole flock of New Foqndiand doge,
and the cat had' record on dogs, and
it kicked awful. Pa's shirt was no
protection at all in a cat fight, and
the cat just walked all around pa's
stomach, and pa yelled 'police, and
'fire,' and 'turn on the hose,' and he
called ma, and the cat yowled. If
pa had had the presence of mind
enough to have dropped tbe cat, or
rolled it up in the mattress, it would
have been all right, but a man al
ways gets rattled in time of danger,
and he held onto the cat and started
down stairs yelling murder, and he
met ma coming up. I guess ma's
night cap, or sfimething, frightened
the cat some more, cause he stabbed
ma on the night shirt with one hind
foot, and ma said 'mercy on ua.' and
9he went back, and pa stumbled on
a hand sled that was on' the stairs,
and they all fell down, nnd the cU
got away and went down in the coal
bin and" yowled air night Pa and
ma went into their room, and I guess
they annointed .' themselves with
vaseline and Pond's extract, and I
went and got into my bed, cause it
was cold out in the hall, and the cat
bad warmed my bed as well as it
had warmed pa. .. It was all I could
do to go to sleep, with pa and ma
talking all night and this morning
I came down the back stairs, and
haven't been to breakfast, cause I
don't want to see pa when be is vex
ed. You let the man that carries in
the kindling wood have six shillings
worth of groceries and charge them
to pa. I have passed the kindling'
wood period in a boy's life, and have
arrived at the coal period. I will
carry in coal, but I draw the line at
kindling wood." , t . .
"Well, yoo are a cruel, bad boy,
9aid the grocery man, as he went to
the book and charged the six shil
ling". .
"Oh, I don't know. I think pa u
cruel A man who will take a poor
kitty by the neekv that has'nt dene
any harm, and tries to chastise the
poor thing with a truDk strap, ought
to be looked after by tbe humane
society. And if it is cruel to take
a cat by the neck, how much more
cruel is it to take a boy by tbe neck
that bad diphtheria only a fewyear
ago, and whose throat is tender.
Say, I will accept your invitation te
take breakfast with you," and the
boy cut off a piece of bologna and!
helped himself to tbe crackers, and
while the grocery man was out shov
eling off the snow from tbe sidewalk,
the boy filled bis pockets with rai
sins and loaf sugar and then went
out to watch the man carry iag m his
kindling wood. Vrt' Suil.
