To MARK FLAT-IROH* SMOOTH.— Hub
them with clean I uxl. and wipe dry ; or,
rubbing them with a little beeswax while
hot will have tlie desired ©ftect.
RIDDTXU Hincxr or TlCK*.— Mix sul
phur and salt, seven parts of silt to one
of sulphur, and feed or salt them with
the mixture, and tt will drive tho ticks
from sheep and lambs. Give it to them
several times.
FOH SCALD* OH BI RKa.-Ponlti.Hts of
tea leaves, moisteuod in hot water, are
preferable to all other reme.be*, in the
first stage of burns and scald*. Or take
raw onions, pound or mash fine as pos
sible, and apply at once ; it will give im
mediate relief.
GET BID OF FURS.— Take half a tea
spoonful of black pepper, ground, one
teaspooufnl of brown sugar, and one toa
spoonful of cream, mix them well togeth
er and place them in tlie room on a plate
where thi fbes are troublesome and tliay
will soon disappear.
How TO SGT COLORS.— Dissolve a tea
BjvHUifiil of sugar of lead in a pail of
water, in which you soak your colored
cambric for 15 minutes before washing.
If more convenient a little vinegar or a
handful of salt thrown into a jsnl of
water, and the dress soaked will set the
oolor.
How TO COOK GRKEX CORK.— Com
should be allowed to boil (says the Ohio
Farmer) in char, soft water, and by
itself alone. Not in salt arid water, for
the salt hardens the com ; and not, on
any account, boil the ears of corn with
the potatoes, as so many do, for this
greatly injures the taste and goodness of
tlie corn, and also hardens it The skits
of the potato contain* a poison which is
freely given to water, rendering it unfit
that corn should lie boiled in it
To CLEAR KID GLOTES.— Have ready
a little new milk in one saucer, a piece
of white soap in another, and a clean
cloth folded two or three times. On the
cloth spread out the glove smooth and
neat fake a price of.flannel, dip it in
Hie milk, then rob off a gvxni quantity
of soap on the wetted flanuel, and com
mence to rub the glove towards the fin
gers, holding it firmly with the left hand.
Continue this process until the glove, if
white, look* dry mid spoiled. Lay it to
dry, and the operator will soon be'gra ti
tled to see that the old glove looks near
ly new. It will las soft, glossy, smooth,
and elastic
PIKKAFFLB JELLT.— Take perfectly
ripe-and sound pineapples, eut off the
out-side, cut in small pieces, braise them,
and to each pound put a teocupfol of
water; put in a preserving kettle, and
let them boil for twenty minutes ; then
strain it, and squeeze" it through a bit
of muslin. For each pound of fruit take
a poau.l of sugar; put a teacnpfnl of
•water to each pound ; set it over the fire
until it is dissolved ; then add the pine
apple juice. For each qnart of the syrup
clarify an ounce of the best isingla-s,
and stir it in : let it boil until, by taking
some on a plate to cool, you find it a stiff
jelly.
SHAD CV LITER. —Shad culture, which
was held somewhat doubtful at first, is
coming on handsomely in Connecticut.
The operations were \>egun at Hadley
Falls in June, and already the ova taken
exceeds 64,2JU,000, from which at least
60,000,00) of young shad have been pro
duced. These little fish are distributed
all over the waters of the State. The
average length of time required for the
hatching of the eggs after being plaml
in the boxes is four days, varying some
what according to tlie temperature of the
water. The shad were taken in a seine
at night (ripe fish rarely being found in
the day time), the first haul being made
at about 8$ p. m., and the two following
at 9) and 10} p. m. The number of ova
taken nor night ranged from 145,000 to
8 OflO.Ono, the average being about
2,920,000.
MICE M MEADOWS AXD OBCHAHDS.—
The. ravages of mice are some time suffi
cient to complete!r destroy a sod during
one winter. If allowed to increase ami
find shelter, no means of prevention will
avail. There is no plan but to disturb
their haunts, clear out the fence rows of
brush and weeds, remove all pieces of
decaying rails, pick off all loose stone:
in fact, leave no places for the vermin to
hide. Their natural enemies, the hawks,
owls, skunks, and cats, will then find
them and - devour them. In addition,
leave a few small bundles of straw in the
fields scattered about, and when they
have commenced to work at them, put "a
small quantity each night of corn-meal
and arsenic under each bundle. This will
help thin them off, and if persevered in
will so reduce their numbers that the sod
and the trees in the orchard will to a
great extent be spared the ravages.
STOCK FOB Sores.—Bay a knuckle of
beef or veal. Have the bone well crack
ed in small pieces. Put it in the soup
digester, or if you liaTe none, iu a close
ly-covered iron pot For a medium
knuckle, add five or six quarts of cold
water (by using cold water vou will secure
all the juices, whereas in Lot water half
the juice is retained in the meat). Let
it come to boil be lore yon add salt and
pepper ; then season it to suit your taste,
and if agreeable, put in a small bit of
red pepper. Put the pot on the back
port of the stove after it commences to
boil, and keep it gently simmering all
day ; then strain it from the bones and
meat, which are now worthless, into a
jar kept for the purpose. Never throw
away bones that are left from baked,
boiled, or roast meat of any kind, or
bones such as are left from steak, poul
try, anything—if they have not been put
on to the plates ; dried or grisly bits of
meats —all may be used to prepare stock
for soup ; and, in a large family, suffi
cient muj be gleaned, that would other
wise lie thrown into the swill, to keep
stock on hand for weeks, without buy
ing a bone for that purpose alone. When
the stock is strained, set it in the cellar
to cool. The next morning carefully re
move all the grease that has risen to the
top and hardened, and you will have a
clear, rich stock ready to be used in
soups. Clarify the grease removed from
the dock, by slicing a raw potato into it,
and set it over tne fire in a skillet, till it
boils; then strain it from the potato,
and you have a fine dripping for many
purposes.
MINERS BOOTS. —In Worcester, Mass.,
are several factories which make a speci
alty of boots for the coal miners of
Pennsylvania, and formidable articles of
attire these are, from the description.
The leg is made of heavy leather, and
comes far up towards the thigh, and the
soles are three quarters of an inch thick
and made to guard the foot, like the
"fenders" on a river steamer. The
heels also project in the same manner,
and flare out towards the bottom, so that
a very respectable hold is afforded the
wearer. In both heel and soles are
flat-headed nails, the tops about as large
as a gold dollar, and driven as closely as
possible, so that the entire bottom of the
boot is metal-clafl, and, as if this were
not enough, three long nails of Swedish
iron are driven through the heel and
clinched on the inside, and six are driv
en similarly through the shank. The
sewing on these slippers is done with a
six-corded thread, calculated to bear a
weight of one hundred pounds. A pair
of these miner's boots will weigh six and
a half pounds, the leather weighing five
pounds and the armor in the shape of
nails one and a half.
The tobacco crop according to the fig

Infant Mortality.
" Infant Mortality and the Necessity
of a Foundling Hospital in Philadel
phia," is the title of a paper by John S.
Parry, road at one of the meetings of
the Social Science Association in that
city. According to returns of the Board
of Health of Philadelphia for five years
ending 31st. Dec. 1870, there were born
in that city 85,957 living infants, aud
3.933 dead. The deaths between birth
and the age of five among children born
alive numbered 31.643, a mortality of a
little more than 36.83 per cent In the
first year of life the deaths were 19,227.
a death rate of 22.36 per cent, in the
second year 6,409 deaths; an amount for
the two years of 25,630. a mortality of a
fraction more than 29.82 per cent This
high death rate the author shows to be
chiefly among the crowded unwholesome
localities, and says that a vast projior
tiou of these deaths could be prevented
by proper care and the diffusion of pro
per information. More than 50 per
cent of them are the results of igno
rance or of carelessness."
Directing next his special attention to
the cltfk of illegitimate children, he
makes Sn estimate, from rather imjier
fect data, of 700 as the number of child
ren liorn out of wedlock in that city in
1870. We are told that in Glasgow few
of this class survive the first year, and
Dr. Parry is convinced that 75 per cent
of those born alive in Philadelphia die
during the first year after their birth.
The cause of these fearful death rates.
Dr. Parry infers, are chiefly: First, want
of mottier's milk or other natural nutri
ment; second, the aggregation of many
infanta in one or more confined apart
ments. A conjunction of the two causes
gives rise to the heavy mortality in
foundling hospitals, the erection of
which, Dr. Parry says, "is strongly to
be reprobated, and we cannot better in
sure the speedy death of the abandoned
children of Philadelphia, than by es
tablishing such an institution in our
midst."
THE FINEST Town in SIBERIA.— The
finest town in Silieria is Ekaterienburg,
the frontier town between European and
Asiatic Russia, a position which gives it
many advantages, and in respect of
which it possesses certain trading privi
leges. It is the chief centre of thp gov
ernment mining department, and is in
near proximity to many valuable metal
lurgical undertakings* from which cir
cumstances it derives much importance
and an increased population. Irkutsk is
also a nice town, tint Ekaterienburg has
the superiority in several respects. It
contains a population of 25,<X>0 souls,
and is handsomely built, possessing
several fine churches, and a great num
ber of brick and stone bouses, among
which some deserve to be called rather
palaces; also a mint and large mechani-1
cal works belonging to the government.
It has also a theatre, a club, and two
really good hotels; and on the whole is '
as unlike a city on the outside borders
of civilization and in the close neigh
borhood of Asiatic barbarism as it is
possible to imagine. When eating the
" dinner a la carte," supplied by M.
Plotnikoff at the best hotel, the travel-!
er will find himself as closely surrounded |
by the externals of civilization as he
could be in any European city. There
is plenty of refined society to be met
with in all Siberian towns," and the time
of one's sojourn there always glides
away pleasantly; the regularity and
eveness of the climate being an addition
to the enjoyment of life.

Tin* Next Total Solar Eclipse.
Already the scientific world l ostit
with preparations to obwjm thil grand
phenomenon, It is most fortunate
thing for astronomy that this rare event
occurs again iust as tho knowledge ob
tained from tuo IWHOt eelipao expedi
tions haa been garnered up and careful
ly studieil as a starting point for future
solar inquiries. Our knowledge of the
great central luminary of our planetary
system has within a few vears o rapidly
iucreasiHl that we uocd aew and im
proved appliances for vigorously push
ing investigation. The central line of
the next total aolnr eeli|e will ttiwt meet
the earth's surface in the Arabian Ken,
and, eutertug on the western coast of
India, will pass directly across one of
the most important and populous part*
of lliudostan in a southeastern direction,
when' the sun will be alnint twenty de
gree* above the horixon at the lime of
total oUseuratiou. The duration of to
tality will be two minutes and a quarter
and the breadth of the shadow about
seventy miles. Leaving the eastern
coast of the Madrus Presidency. the
central line crosses Balk's Strait, the
northern part of the island of Ceylon,
thence eontiuuing its course over the
southeastern point of Sumatra and will
touch the southwestern eoast of Java,
uear its capital city, lUtavis. The
shadow path will then leave the Last
Indies, and crossing over the most un
inhabited portions of Australia, will
ultiuiately dissqipear in the Pacific Ocean.
English observers arc making urr uige
luentH to visit the most eligible sjxjt* for
studying the eclipse, and the Astronomer
Royal is siiperiuteiidiug the adaptation
of instrument*.
The question of the sun's corona, if it
is uot, a* -Mr. Lockyer claim*, "the
scientific question of the day," is un
doubtedly the great problem of celestial
physics. " If astronomers can only once
settle what is the real nature of the SHU'S
surroundings the path of research is
open for the more distant slant At
present, however, the corona is wrapped
in a cloud of hvpothesis. Surrounding
the sun somewfint as an intensely illu
mined atmospheric envelope, Mr. Airy
likened it to the ornament round the
compass card, gi\ ing it a height equal
to about ouce and a iialf the sun's diam
eter. In 1652 it was described as " a
pleasant qwotacle of rotatory motion."
Don Antonio Ulloa, a Spanish astron
omer, remarked of the corona otiaurvsd
in the eclipse of 1788, "It seemed to be
endued with a rapid rotatory motion,
which caused it to resemble a firework
turning round its centre." Tlie terms
whirling and fiiekeriug were applied to
it ill the records of the eclipse of IX6O—
extraordinary condition, which, how
ever, was fully endorsed by the late
eclipse observation! l .
It i* highly prolable that great and
early discoveries are in store for tlie iu
dieations strenglv favor the view that
this remarkable phenomenon, just allud
ed to, is not a mere accident, but an
essential part of the solar mechanism,
which, Like all other part* of creation,
have a bearing upon man's welfare.
History record* some instances iu which,
even during severe liattles, the prodigy
of an eclipse either stopped the com'wt,
or silenced it* din and fury by striking
the combatant's with the paralysis of
terror. If the recurrence of the " awful
obscuration" lias lost its power to
terrify it ha* not lost it* power to in
struct the philosopher and to till the be
holder with the mate and sublime admi
ration. Let our American astronomer*
be among the first to win the honor of
these magnificent solar discoveries.
Tbe Code la South A merle*.
'Hie citizens of Lima, the capital of
rem, have been defrauded out of * first
class sensation—one that would hare
made their Republic famous throughout
the world. A venturous newsman pub
lished some very severe strictures upon
the administration, which so incensed
President Balta, that he caused the un
fortunate author to be imprisoned. Af
ter a time the courts took the matter iu
hand, and finding the prisoner had com
mittal no offense against the laws order
ed his release. This action of the ju
diciary added fuel to the ire of the Pre
sident, who seut for the offending official
and upbraided him for interfering t|ith
the course of justice. The interview
was spirited if not consoling. President
Balta a wrath found its counterpart in
that of the judge's; uncomplimentary
expressions were interchanged, and the
conference ended by the judge assuring
the President that aa soon as lie vmcntisl
the Executive chair a personal satisfac
tion would lie demanded, Biltu is im
petuous and plucky, if not discreet and
considerate, and within ten bourn after
the occurrence, in order to give the
judge an opportunity to avenge his
wounded honor, signed a decree resign
ing his office and calliug the Vice Presi
dent to the chair. Here was a lesson in
chivulry without parallel in history, and
great was the rejoicings of the Li man us
thereat. Of course no affair of honor
would be complete without a woman
being in the case, and President Ralta's
exciting episode was no exception to this
universal role. The President's counsel
lore saw the dangers which threatened
their republic should he resign and leave
the chief magistracy in the hands of so
inexperienced a person as the Vice Pre
sident, and accordingly besought him to
reconsider his determination; but Raita
was inexorable, and no consideration
could induce lum to forego the pleasure
of meeting out satisfaction to his op
ponent At length the aged mother of
the President appeared upon the scene,
and to her tears and entreaties the spun
ky Balta succumbed, and agreed to uefer
the combat till further notice.
A Kentucky Romance.
An old lady of Kentucky has a ro
mance connected with her secoud mai -
riage. It is as follows: When her
mother was a young lady, Colonel Boone,
the nephew of Daniel, "was very much in
love with her, and asked her, on one oc
casion, to marry him. She told him she
was engaged to Morgan Bryan, and that
they were to be married in a few days.
Col. Boone went away and married an
otheryoung woman. Afterward he, with
his wife, visited the other young married
couple, when their first child (now in
her fifth score of yearsj was but a very
few days old, ancf seeing the baby, he
laughed, and said to her mother : "Now
Miliy, as you wouldn't have me yourself,
you 11 give me the girl for my second
wife, won't yon ?" Whether any jesting
promise was made I am not informed ;
but the baby grew up, and at twenty-
V'vcii sbe was married, had several chil
dren, became a widow after nine years,
and remained one for a long time, when
Colonel Boone's first wife having died
previously, she really became, in her
own middle life, the wife of her mother's
early lover, who luid claimed her in her
cradle. The good old lady is accustomed,
in relating this to her sons and neices,
to speak of it as "one of the most re
markable things that ever happened."
I think so too, and it is a true story.
PENSION*.— The Commissioner of Pen
sions estimates that there are at least
forty thousand people, soldiers and
widows of the war of 1812, who will be
entitled to pensions nnder the act of
February 14, 1871. This number will
require the sum of $4,000,000 annually.
When the bill was under discussion last
winter the maximum number of these
pensioners living was supposed to be
only 9,u00, hut the estimate of the Com
missioner is not likely to bo correct
This will require an appropriation for
pensions next year of fully 835,(100,000.
The total number of applications for
1812 pensions to date is 30,540.

Society
! The West Held explosion.
The members of the Board of Inquiry
in the Westfleld ease have uot made any
statcmeut us to their coticlusiou*; but
the general thrift of their report may be
summarized as follows:
1. There was a sufficiency of water in
the boiler; fires were "good," and fur
nace doom closed.
2. The pressure of steam was increas
ing during the ten minute* previous to
explosion, Mud was at least two pounds
above legal limit
3. There was an old rupture under
th side of the (toiler, caused by unequal
expansion.
4. At the joint in the middle section
of the shell, opposite the centre of the
lower range of flues on the " port" side
there was a Assure in the iron, created,
or at least increased, bv the bellows-like
action ol the shell in alternately round
ing and flattening under the varying
pressure.
5. The boiler hat! received its last
supply of water at Quarantine, an hour
previous to the explosion, and, while at
the alio, the water had become quies
cent, the air had Iwu entirely expelled,
and a great amount of heat hail licen
absorbed, which, however, did not evolve
the usual amount of steam.
6. The explosion occurred the moment
the engineer sounded the whistle, be
cause that produced an agitatiou of the
water sufficient to cause extraordinary
masses of steam to be devolved; the
water, wheu the air was " boiled out"
of it, became a reservoir of heat, w hich
absorbed the rapid accumulation from
the furnace, witliout Wing converted in

The Arab Sword Trick.
To my astonishment, the n *xt who is
sued forth as a performer was my Zouave
acquaintance, who far eclipsed all the
others. He had taken off his fez, and
his long sweeping hair was hanging
wildly about him. He advauced to a
brazier of burning charcoal placed on
the ground, into which incense was
thrown, and swung his head and arms
about over the rising vapor with intense
violence for several minutes, when he
removed his embroidered jacket and
then his shirt, so that the upper part of
his body was nude, bis head rocking and
his hair swaying in the wind all the time.
On a signal from him, a Marabout pre
sented him with a naked scimitar, where
upon he kissed the feet of the Marabout,
and ran the sword across bis own tongue.
Two men now came forward and held
the scimitar between them, when he
Dung himself upon it on his bare stom
ach, aud in this way he was carried three
times round the yard smid rapturous
lou-lous from aliove. When he ceased,
the scimitar luid sunk deeply into the
flesh of his stomach, which had folded
over it so that it required an effort to
extract the weajxm. A deep ml welt
remained, but no blood flowed. He next
stood with his bare feet on the edge of
the blade, and was borne round in like
manner, standing on the weapon. After
this he lay upon the ground ou his hack,
and the scimitar was held over his stom
ach by two men, while a third stood
upon the blade. This appeared to indict
dreadful torture on the victim, but gave
intense gratification hi the female spec
tators in the upper gailoiy, who became
louder than ever in their vociferations.
These feats must have caused him much
suffering, for at the conclusion he wss
in a profuse perspiration, and was laid
on the ground and covered over for some
time, after which he was supported into
the house in a state of apparent exhaus
tion, doubtless with a bad headache
after all the churning his brain hail un
dergone.
THE INDIANR —<I moral Sherman doe*
not think tho need for troops in the
West will diminish within the next few
' years. On the contrary, ho believes it
: will increase, owing to tho necessity of
guarding the construction and surveying
parties on the Northern nd Southern
Pacific Railroads. The Northern Road,
from the point where it croaaea the Red
Rirer of the North to the acttlementa in
Montana, traverses a region, inhabited,
be says. by hostile Indiana, chiefly the
warlike Sioux, who will have to be fought
off the line of the road at almost every
mile of ita progress. The Southern
Road, when it get* into the Apache
country, will meet with the same diffi
culty, the Apaches being the worst In
dians to deal with in the country. Both
of these roads will eventual] v be great
G are-makers, as the Union Pacific has
en ; but while they are building, the
Oeneral believes that a large force of
troops will be required to guard the la
borers and protect the track and stations.
To DETECT THE ADULTERATION or TEA.
—The simplest method is to burn the
tea and weigh the ashes. Any kind of
tea from the best quality down to the
most common must not leave over 5 per
cent of &<<h; while those adulterated aorts
have actually given 35 to 45 per cent, of
ash, proving that at least 30 to 40 per
cent of worthless or injurious stuff hat!

Out of School.
Many of our voting readers are now
' enjoying the delights of vacation. Wad
j iug in shallow brooks ; tithing in quiet,
sbsdv nooks, where the speckled trout
I love to hide sway from the heat ; fol
lowing the mowers through the fragrant
fields ; watching the mailers in the rust
; ling wheat; gathering Mower* and ber
ries ; filling pockets and apron* with the
. early harvest apple* ; driving home the
cows st evening ; and lying broad awake
' on moonsbiny nights to listen to the
whippourwill on the garden wall. Ah !
we older children can only remember
I liie many charms of vacation. There
■ are uo more atieli time* for us, because,
go when* we will, do what we may, our
; work and our cares follow u*.
I I missed your fares, yesterday, when
| I went through the street to the office.
: and did not see the crowds of children
! marching along with ttooka and (date i;.
j hut I smiled, as I thought tomrsclf, " It
jis vacation now, aud the children have j
gone into the country, or are having
the best times they can at home." The
city parka an* alive with them, playing
all sorts of noisy, rollicking gumes, aud
rushing about as if they never hear I of
thermometers, or lying in happy alstii
domucnt on the grass under the trees,
as if thev never heard of ague and
rheumatism, as heaven grant they never
may.
But how about the children who get
no vacations?—to wbom, summer, and
winter, the year is one long work-day ?
Perhaps you hardly knew there were any
such ; but I meet them on the street
every day—children who work in all
sorts of mills and shop* and factories,
ragpickers, and bootblacks, and little
peddlers, though the gypsy life of these
out-door workers makes up somewhat
for the lack of vacations. You could
hardly guess how many there are of
these in all our great cities-—children
whose daily bread comes from their
daily toil, and to whom vacation would
mean, not rest and play, but narration.
You little people that groan over your
six hours in the bright school-room,
with 1 looks and pictures and merry faces
all around you, and now aud then a run
in the open air, what do you think of
children nine, eight, yes, only seres
year* old. who work ten hours of every
day in dark, foul smelling tobacco fac
lories. And vet, in New York city, n
great many of these little workers go to
the evening schools, and try to study
with their tired eyes, so eager are they |
to learn. Their teachers tell us they go
to sleep over their books, aud pne can
hardly wonder at it. Don't you wish
you and I could do something to help
them to a vacation ? LiUlt Corporal.
PBXOUZE PROCESS or PRESERVING ;
MEAT.—We have already referred to a
process devised by Pelonze for preserv
ing meat unchanged for an indefinite
period of time without the use of any j
chemical aolution, and to hi* having de- j
posited an account of it with the secretary
of the Academy of Sciences in Paris. In
a late numlier of the Maiitrur Scientifiqm
the secret ia announced, from which we
see that it ia not essentially different ;
from processes already in use. For the
purpose in question the meat U to lie
cut up into pieces of convenient sixe,
and subjected to an atmosphere of car
bonic oxide nndcr pressure. After this
a current of dry air i* passed over the
meat, so as to carry off all tho moisture, ;
and this being accomplished, a solution
either of salt or saltpetre, or much diluted
carbolic add, is to be brought into contact
with it, and the moss then sealed up in
a tight vessel.
THE CHOLERA. —Apprehensions as to
the rapid spread of the cholera mny lie
somewhat allayed by the intelligence
that the disease, so fur as known, is not
of the Asiatic type, but the English,
which is less contagions as well as less ' i
virulent. At Konigsberg, a day or two i
since, there were sixty-two cases, of j;
which only twenty-two proved fatal, i
Thia ia not a large number of cases for a
city of 75,000 population, nor a large i
proportion of deaths to the number of j i
attacks.
A charcoal man and hia wife, who be- ]
longed to the Commune, escaped the I
vigilance of the police by tho happy i
device of a thorough washing. The die- i t
too perfect unluckily, for they i
ha-r* been looking for each ever since. ' i \
Terrible Mining Disaster,
Another fearful mining disaster oc
curred at the Eagle shaft, atiout a mile
south of Dittstun, I'enn , occasioned
by au explosion of fire damp. Eigh
teen men were nt work in the chamlier ir.
which the explosion occurred, and there
is no hope but Unit all iu the mine have
met with death.
In going to und from their work the
miners used an air shaft, which they as
cended and descended by means of a lad
der, the mum opening not being pro
vided with a safety car, aud therefore
i considered unsafe. It ia supposed that
the explosion blew uway the props, and
; a consequent full of the roof followed,
completely blocking up the passages,
I und cutting off the means of escape,
I should the men escajie death from the
I explosion which is uot probable.
. On hearing the explosion, volunteers
at once proceeded iu the direction of the
noise, Without lamps, aud, iu about three
> quarter* of an hour, brought up the
| body of a miner named Benjamin Davis,
j Scores of willing bands immediately
i proceeded to rejsorthe brattice,-a Ix.unl
i purtitiou used to keep the fresh air from
) rushing into the woraed-otit chambers,
, so that it will enter only to those where
men arc working, At atiout 3 o'clock
) the liody of Evan EL Jones was found
and brought up. Duriug the afternoon
, the dead bodies of Titos. Leyshon, Jan.
. j Morgan, and David Harris were found
and brought up.
jj Ou entering the oluunbir in winch the
, explosion occurred, a fall of rock waa
first found, which laid |mrtly upcin a car,
> completely blocking up one side, and
| leaving a space on the other just suffi
cient for a man to force himself through
Home distance further in there waa
- another fall, which completely filled the
passage, and behind this the irn-u are
f wulli*d so completely that it will take
. hours of the most persistant labor to
. reach them. Volunteers are now at
- work endeavoring to get around thia
- fallen rock, ao tliat tliev can reocli the
- eutoinlied miners, but the density of the
. black-damp prevents them from proaecu
t tiug their work with full effect. They
f are continually Is-iug brought up in au
• exhausted condition, but their places
> are immediately supplied by other vol
i uuteers, and so the work goes on unre
f luittiugly. All that mortals can do waa
' done to row tie the unfortunates, but
i only blackened and disfigured remnants
f of mortality have thus far rewarded the
toilers.
i Outside the acene is heart-rending in
the extreme. Thousands of avuipathi
sing citisens, miners, and others are
present, aud rendering all the aasistsnee

Women and children are weeping, wring
ing their lianda, and mourning aloud for
the loved and lost, and waiting, in an
xious. hopeless expectation, for each
new report from the poisonous pit.
Worth of synqiatby fall like empty
sounds upon their anguished souls, and
nothing can still the aching void witliin.
Women art* everywhere doing what they ;
can to minister to the wants of the ex- (
Imitated volunteers, as they are borue j
like hehiiiMs children tsick from the
mouth of the pit Great cahirt-ns of
steaming coffee are ready, and all the
known restoratives are at hand. Wo
man's heartaaml woman's hands are first
in the work, and where brave men fal
ter and turn jtale, they neither shrink
nor turn away from their ministering
mission. Had hearts are everywhere to
night* some in svmpatby with the tie
reared friends, and in mourning for their '
dead.
This mine lias been nearly exhausted,
and was known to be filled with the :
black-damp, and yet it was considered
safe, and lias been constantly worked
I since the conclusion of the strike, al
though not to its foil capacity. It is
owned by Mr. J. Hchaoley of Wyoming,
and worked by Mr. A. Tompkins, who '
is extensivelv engaged in the business of !
mining coal, and owns and operates
several openings. Twelve feet of gss
was found in a beading just off the gang- j
way. which bail been traversed all day
by explorers with a naked-light, and the
merest accident would have caused an-!
other and a worse explosion, involving
a loss of at least 50 Uvea.

ESCAPE or CONVICTS. —TweIve con- {
viets escaped from Hing Hing prison by
a most ingenious and daring stratagem.
About quarter to 12 the Dean Richmond,
a small protieller which usnallv plie*
about New kork hnrlior, approached the
j prison dock having a canal-boat in tow,
and was immediately warned off by the
guards. The raptaio, P. Van Orden, |
was at the wheel, and rang the bell for
j the engineer to "alow" the boat. At
i the same instant a man who was in tlie |
wheel bouse, and was oue of the two:
men said by the captain to have char- j
tored the loat for the purpose of carry- J
ing down to New York some furniture,
rang the bell again in order to confuse
the engineer. The latter, not knowing
what to do, paid no attention to the sig-.
nal, and kept on. The captain aaw 12
men rush out of the shopa and jnmp
j aboard the boat as she touched the pier.
The captain immediately leaped ashore,
while the Dean Richmond steamed out;
! into the river, and easting off the canal-;
liont, ran acre** to the opposite aide of
) the river, where her villainous crow
; sprang ashore, and disappeared in tlie
thick woods that line the shore at that j
jioint. Most of the prisoners have been
recaptured.

night They were tenants of the same
house, and it is said she had rejected his
| offer of marriage- On Sunday night she
came home with some friends and found
Husmann and his mother sitting on the '
door-step. The quarrel was renewed,
nnd she at length became so enraged
that she eized s piece of brick and
hurled it at him. It fell short of its mark, . 1
and his mother drew him into the house !
and shut the door. Scarcely bail it closed

Of families that Bjpeod Utween §28,-
■OOO and 830,(MX) a year, there are about
a thousand in New York. It would be
impossible to uscertaiu the exact figures,
but the above figure is the result of con
siderable researrft. and to b relied on aa
very near approximating the fart. Ea
sier is it give a close figure as to Hie fam
ilies spending between #so,oooaud #OO,-
(100 a year. There are about sixty or
seveuiv such families. Our figures
would stand lima l 10,000 or 13,000 fam
ilies that spend #IO,OOO a year ; 1,000
]x-ml #20,000 to #BO,OOO a year, and 00
or 70 whom it costs #50,000 a year to
live.
On Fifth nveuue it c.srta #25,000 to
lire resjieetably. In thus sum, we do
not include tlie rent of the house, which
would certainly swell tlie amount to
#30,000. A first-class establishment on
Fifth avenue has eleven or twelve ser
vants ; a man cook, with three female
assistants, scullery maid, etc. ; a man
that waits on the table; a laundress, a
coachman aud a footman—the latter mar
help waiting on the table, as bis duties
on the box are nut very arduous—a sta
ble man, two or three girls for up-stair
work, and, if there are children in the
family, a tuirac. The outlay in carriage*
and horses alone amount, to #lo,ooo a
year.
A ioor fellow on a salary of #5,000 a
year, for a man is poor i.n New York
who receives that salary —who lives in a
nice brown stone front house on a Issli
ionable side street. He has to keep, at
tlie very least, four servants ; a cook, a
scullery maid, who help* her and may
do at the oaine time the laundry work,
au up-taira girl, and—if he has chil
dren (poor people mostly do have chil
dren)—a uurar. He pays #3.000 rent
for the house, and, after he has iiaid hia
servants, bus nothing left to live on.
Nevertheless, it cost* him #IO,OOO to
live. How can be do it ?
There are ten hotels, kept on the Eu
ropean plan, in each of which sonic 100
peraoua I maid. These families pay for
a suite of rooms, consisting of parlor
; and bedroom, from #ls to #3O a day.
This price is paid, no nutter whether
the guests stay s week or two years. In
the Grand Hotel there are a few suits
which aru higher— #3OO a week. But the
overage is not so high. You can get twd
good-sized rooms at most of the Euro
pean hotels for #2OO per week, or 810,-
000 a year. In regard to your meal*.
| you pay for what you eat. You pay for
jieas 50c. ; for a cup of coffee, 6uc. An
examination of the restaurant bills in
oue of these hotels gave the following
result: Average for breakfast (one per
son), #3'; for dinner. #lO or #11; for
supper, about 85 or #6. A whole family
cau live somewhat cheaper, for some of
the dishes, ns for instance beef, an order
fur one will bring enough for two. But
<>n the whole, the result is pretty much
the same. A family of turee persons
will, living economically, spend easily
betweer #3O aud #4O a day for their
meals, which would ataouut in the year
to #IO,OOO. #IO,OOO for two meals s dsy,
aud #IO,OOO more for two room*, make*
#20,000. Most of the families hoarding
in these hotels keep carriages; they
give little dinner parties—evening en
tertainments they are excused from in i
consideration of these good dinners;
they spend the summer iu Burope, or at ;
watering-places; their girls have the
best masters and most fashionable dress- j
makers. It costs them #40,000 or #SO,- '
UOO to eke out their existence.
The Cereaa Trouble-
Latest reports say that in the second
hattl.* lietween the Coreaus and the
American squadron, the former had six
thousand men armed with gingala, and
their bullets fell short, while the deadly
fire of the American rifles told fearfully
on the enemy.
Under tlie cover of the rank vegeta
tion aud behind the shoulder of a hill
the Americans advanced within oue hun
dred and twenty yard* of the forts be
fore they came within range of the Co
rcan musketry. The Coreans resisted
desperately to the last. Lieutenant Mc-
Kee waa killed as lie entered the en
trenchments. When the Americans
reached the intrench menta the Corean*
succumlaxL
A numlier of prisoners were taken, in
cluding the officer a cond in command,
who was t>odly wounded, tlie Command
er-in-Chief having been killed.
On the 10th of June the American
force bivouacked in the forts, and next
day demolished the forts and spiked all
the gun*.
The fleet returned to the Boize an
chorage two days later. The Comma
aent on board a letter filled with the
moat insulting and abusive language, to
which no reply was made.
Admiral Rodgera, however, sent to the
Con-ans to know what he shotdd do with
the prisoner*.
The Comma answered tliat he might
do with them aa he pleased. Two days
later be set them st lilierty, and sent two
meeaages ashore, but the local authority
refused to receive them, saving that it
was as much as his head was worth to
send them, and it was no use to attempt
to communicate further with the court
Mr. Low, the American Minister, then
aent a formal protest that his mission
was peaceful, and tbat the American at
tack was uot for a refusal to negotiate,
but because the Coreans had treache
rously flml on the boats.
The steamer Millet was tben despatch
ed to Shanghai with desjtclie for
Washington. Tho Monocracy and the
l'alos will return to Shanghai and be
docked, and the rest of the squadron
will return to Chefoo slid await instruc
tions. One hundred thousand rations
were sent to Chefoo.
The Comma fought like men. The
weapons used bv them are wretched old
fire-iocks, aud tlicir cutlasses made of ao
soft iron that they bent like old hoops.
Thev wen* dressed in armor of nine
thicknesses, cotton padded, ao that only
rifle balls could penetrate them. Swords
produced no effect upon them.
Documents captured show that the
Corcans had planned the surprise of
the American fleet, and were astonished
at tlie failure of the Corean forts to an
nihilate the foreign vessels at the first
fire.
The expedition has accomplished no
change iu the relations of the two coun
