was begun. It was ended bv the party
falling back to lower town. Several men
were wounded by pistol shots, and others
badly beaten. One man is reported

pressed a determination to keep them
out of the street. Two cannon were in
position at Kinchler's wharf and one at
Martin's. The men were well armed
with 'revolvers, boat-hooks or axes.
Blood on the sidewalks showed where
the wonnded fell. The men were warn

occupied by Irish. Hardware stores were
robbed of fire arms, and six or seven
guns taken from a store on Fabrique
street. All the shops in the lower town
and on Mountain Hill have shutters up.

Low Prices tor Logs and Lumber
SbatttiS. Aug. 14. The long contin
ued depression in the lumber trade haa
cast a blight over the business interests
of the entire Sound country. There is
estimated to be over fifty million feet of
surplus saw logs in the water at the pres
ent time, in some instances logs sold
recently as low a $3 25 per M, while a
. i 1 1 K11.1
at $7 per M. ; Five of the saw mills on
the Sound with aggregate capacity for
cutting 350,000 feet of lumber per diem
are now shut down to await improvement
in the market. Shipowners are suffering
in common with mill men, loggers and
others, and taking cargoes at rates which
barely cover expenses. A charter for a
cargo of lumber was procured here a
week ago for San Francisco at $2 12J,
which is the lowest rate yet reached.
Favorable reaction, however, is looked
for among mill men soon after the Cali
fornia election, the agitation consequent
upon which it is believed has had a great
deal to do with the present depression.

In a Water ?pout.
From the Denver News. 5
Through the prompt assistance of the
managers of the South Park road, the
damages done to the track in the Platte
Canyon and near Buffalo by the water
spout are speedily being repaired, and
the customary travel 011 the road will be
resumed very Boon. The telegraph wires
are still down, but a statement of the true
conditions of affairs have been obtained
through the medium of the Dassengers
bo were delayed in consequence of the
storm. In conversation with a gentleman
who was stopping for a few days at the
boarding-house near the saw mill nt
Thompson's, the informant said: "We
had a terrible hail storm shortly after 3
o'clock, and stones as big as hen's eggs
fell thick and fast. While we werestand-
ng at a safe distance from the windows.
for nearly every pane of glass was broken,
we saw a remarkable phenomenon, ac
companied by a dull, heavy roaringsound,
like distant thunder. A large volume of
what we afterwards found to be water was
seen at the top of the mountain, coming
closer and closer, like an immense funnel.
As it approached the noise became al
most deafening, and one old gentleman
who was standing in the door, for we had
all assembled in and around the doorway,
exclaimed: ' It's a water spout ! ' Out of
the house and up the opposite hill we ran
as fast as it was possible to almost the
summit. One of the parties, who was
farthest down, in terror turned around
and beheld the water rushing and tearing
down the opposite side, carrying with it
huge boulders, uprooted trees and all sorts
of debris. It struck the house and the
sawmill simultaneously, and carried them
away like straws, not a vestige of either
remaining. We stood there in terror for
a long time, hardly daring to speak a
word ; but finally becoming more used to
the scene, we began to look around us
and take in the situation. When the
heighth of the excitement had abated a lit
tle, au anxious mother missed her infant
child, and instant search was made for
the lost little one. After an hour spent in
the water and mud, one of the gentlemen
discoverd the infant in a pool, and the
stream still coming down the mountain
side, lying close up by a rock which also
supported a large bureau, under which
the little one sat in an apartment in
tended lor a lower drawer. The child
was not a bit frightened, but seemed to
be rather pleased with its situation, and,
strange enough, had hardly a scratch
upon it. The joy of the distressed parent
can easily be conceived wheu the wet
youngster was placed safe and sound in
her arms. The water continued to rush
down the gulch for several hours, and we
bad to prepare places to sleep on the
Bide of the mountain. Early the next
morning I joined a number of men who
desired to reach Denver as soon as possi
ble, and started to walk to the train,
about seven miles distant. When we
reached there we found it was a wrecking
train with a coach attached, and auer be
ing delayed several hours for the wreck
ers to prepare the track, we started on our
way home.
in the canyon the track was also gutted
out in spots, and a good bit of it at other
places had the bedding washed out and
the rails twisted. Temporary bridges are
being constructed to facilitate the running
of the trains. An engine was run into a
ditch a short distance this side of Thomp
son's in consequence of the weakened
condition of the road-bed. Three flat cars
were also carried away some 40 feet, with
three men on them. who. wonderful to
relate, were not nt all iniured: thev onlv
received a thorough drenching and a big
scare.
One of the most disastrous difficulties
arising from this unexpected accident is
the great delay ot tne mans, mere nas
not yet been a single mail sent out to
Leadville since the storm, and as a conse
quence there has been a great accumula
tion of matter which will doubtless be a
source of much trouble to the carbonate
cump. as well as to the many towns along
the line or the road, such an accident is
likely to occur at most any time, and pro
vision should be made that in such an
event in future there need be no delay in
the mails. Denver Tribune.

A Chamber of Death.
fOroville Meronrv. Anmat 1 1
Word was brought to this city a week
ago this morning that the water had all
been pumped out of the Banner mine,
and the skeletons of the men buried by
the cave of twenty years ago recovered.
u. Jti. Ayers, foreman of the mine, of
fered to transport us to the lower
regions. We shed our good clothes, put
on gum poots and coat, an old hat, and
ciamDered into the big iron bucket.
.Down, down, down we went! Two hnn
dred feet isn't but a short distance on
the earth's surface, but it seems a terri
ble long way when descending a mining
suait. xne bottom was reached in safe
ty, and we scrambled out into a pool of
water and mud about two feet deep.
Candles were lighted, and following the
tunnel a distance of fifteen yards, we
came to a ladder leading np to the old
level broken into by the blast s Bet off a
week or ten days previous. The top of
mis ladder rested in a assure hardly
wide enough lor a man to squeeze
tnrougu, Deyona which was one of the
prospecting cross-cuts run by the min
ers twenty years ago. Ten feet further
on a drift was run off from the cross-cut
a distance of about twenty feet which we
have seen fit to style, "The Chamber of
Death." On a pile of dirt thrown back
from the face of the drift lay two skele
tons. From appearance, the animated
forms once surrounding and occupying
these ghastly evidences of man's mortal
ity had laid down side by side in obedi
ence to the mandatory summons of the
monarch Death. Here lay the empty
skull of one by his side, while that of
the other had rolled down the dirt pile
and found a resting place at its owner's
feet. Four boots, from each of whom
projected a leg-bone, were partially im
bedded in the mud at our feet. Picks,
drills, and shovels were all neatly piled
np together, just as though the brave
men, realizing that escape was impossi
ble, had put their house in order prior
to closing up their earthly accounts.
There was the piece of candle that flick
eredoutin all probability, even as the
spark of life departed them slowly,
peacefully, yet surely. The walls were
coated with slime, the air was tainted
with odors impure, our candles shed fee
ble rays npon a ledge of quartz over
head, nothing marred the deathly si-,
lence save the monotonous drip, drip of
a little spring as it oozed out of the roof
and splashed in a puddle on the floor
verily, if ever there was a place deserv
ing such a title, this is "The Chamber of
Death. Taking a pick, the piece of can
dle and a small lump of the plumbago
strata in which the unfortunate men
were working at the time of the disaster,
as relics, we wended our way back to the
shaft and took passage for the surface.
Under the beading of "Two Men Bur- j
ied Alive," the Butte Democrat of Sat-
urday morning, December 3, 1859, said:
"At 9 o'clock on the morning of the
26th ult., a portion of the tunnel in the
quartz claim of Messrs. Smith & Sparks,
at Table Mountain, caved in, entombing
alive, probably, within the tunnel, two
of the workmen, David Shine and F. G.
Mathews
On the claim there is a shaft 165 feet
in depth, at the bottom of which was the
engine which raised the dirt and rocks,
and drained another tunnel 100 feet be
low the engine. The unfortunate men
were at work in the lower tunnel, when
the earth immediately nnder the engine
caved in, filling the outlet of the tunnel.
rendering the engine useless, and all
efforts to rescue them unavailing. It is
supposed that the tunnel must have filled
with water within twenty-four hours after
the accident.
"One cannot readily imagine a more
horrible death than to be shut np, hope
less of escape, in the very bowels of the
earth, 265 feet beneath the surface, in
utter darkness, with tho water gradually
rising, and a lingering death about to
ensue, and ensuing.
"We understand that it was against
the wishes of the proprietors of the claim
that the two men entered the tunnel on
the morning of the catastrophe, as the
heavy rains had so saturated the ground
fears were entertained of such an event
as happened. But one of the men was
extremely anxious to give one more
blast, confidently expressing the belief
tiiat he would thereby reach a lost vein
of quartz."
In our opinion the writer erred as to
the canse of death. We think the men
died from suffocation. The mine had
been settling for several days, and gnages
hod been placed in position in various
portions of the works so that the work
men could keep themselves informed re
garding their safety. Shine and Mathews
were running a prospecting drift on con
tract; they were to draw half their pay
1:1- ii 1 ...
wiuio uie wor. was in progress, and tne
remainder wnen tne lost ledge was
struck. Both men were confident that
they would finish the job that day, and
announced wnen going to work in the
morning that it was their last day in the
mine. AJbout half-past 8 one of the car
men discovered on looking at one of the
guages that the roof of the tunnel was
settling very rapidly. The alarm was
promptly given. Everybody hastened
to escape, except Shine and partner.
Dan Hopkins, who diod a short time
since at Cherokee, was the last man to
leave the mine. He stopped at the month
of the chamber where the victims were
working and told them to come out
that the mine was caving in. Shine was
drilling a hole and replied that they
would be out just as soon as they get
the blast ready to fire. Hopkins had not
yet reached the surface when the tunnel
was closed by the cave, from tne tact
that the tools were all together on top of
the dirt thrown back by the men as they
worked, and that the skeletons laid right
beside them, our hypothesis is tliat the
two men were overcome by the foul air,
after having returned from a trip in the
tunnel for their tools with which to dig
out.

King, when Cervantes' great work was
yet a novelty, saw a man stretched on a
bank of the Manzanares reading a book
and laughing oyer it. He declared him

to be right. Any one who lately ob

We have heard of a small social circle
in which it was made a formal condition
that no one was to say a word about the
French plays, or even mention the names
of its gifted actresses whose genius and
and whose real or imagined oddities were
the sub jeot of talk everywhere else, ine
exclusion was in itself a compliment.

theme that in the breasts of certain per

have appreciated the compliment it
might have smiled complacently amid
one of its sunny rosy sunsets, as another
mountain is said to have done nnder the

mediocrity, lack of enternriae. nnrl mmhI
dullness. It is easy to explain why they
are, as a rule, thus fiat and uninteresting.
Their scope is very limited in every way.
There is a great dearth of live topics.
Though India has nearly three hundred
million of inhabitants, it is only a very
small fraction of these that can be taken
into account by the journalist, either as
furnishing him with themes- to write
about, or people to read what he has
written. The earthly history of nearly
all these millions can be summed np in a
brief sentence : they are born, they work
hard to keep soul and body together for a
brief period, and then they die. Then
again, matters which in ft free country
are settled by the public, and hence need
to be publicly discussed, are here settled
quietly by a handful of officials without
any public discussion at alL The Indian
government is a bureaucratic despotism,
tempered by the influence of public opin
ion in England, but caring next to noth
ing for public opinion in India. Thia is
discouraging to a journalist of first-class
ability who wishes to accomplish nmt-
tuiug iu ma generation, and tends to
make the number of such who come to or
remain in India very small. Further
more, the English-reading pnblic of India
IS by no means lartre: henca a rmillv
good journal, to pay at all with so limited
a BUDscription list, has to be high-priced.
iu illustrate mis, it may De mentioned
that the Pioneer, the leading daily paper
of India, published at Allahabad, and
sending out about 3000 copies a day,
charges $24 a year in advance, and $33 in
arrears. The Friend of India, a secular
weekly, published at Calcutta, charges $11
a year, and one of the religious weeklies
in the same citv costs J9 ner annum. No
other paper in the country has anything
like the circulation of the Pioneer. There
or four of the chief dailies in the presi
dency towns have between 1500 and 2000
subscribers, but the rest have to be tatis-
hed with considerably less than a thou

Domestic Economy.
As we see the great advance that has
been made in the last fifty years in many
departments or labor, the better methods,
by which economy . in time, in muscle.
and of course money money being only
tne result 01 time and labor, are gained,
we ask has not the time arrived when we
should turn our attention to domestio
economy ? Are we not ready for better
and less wasteful methods of conducting
our household ? It is not our purpose
here to look into the reasons, and ask
why this most necessary and useful de
partment of life and labor is the one last
to be taken np for reform ? Many of the
causes aro self-evident, so apparent that
it would seem to be .unnecessary to
enumerate them.
Now, however, so many thinking men
and -women are asking this question, that
tne next step after agitation and intelli
gent discontent, must be experiment.
Already many excellent inventions for
better ways of doing home work have
been devised, but thev are either not yet
heard of by those who need and would
be glad to use them, or they are too ex
pensive to be attained by small, separate
households; or, as is often the case, they
would unnecessarily multiply kitchen
utensils where the small, inconvenient
kitchen is crowded already.
It is very clear that the only way to
any real improvement must be in some
form of combined labor; where, by the
combination of capital, numbers and in
teiiigence, several or many xamuies can
procure the best machines and most
skilled laundry men or women and
cooks. One uneducated person can not
be supposed to be excellent in various
departments, and we rarely find one who
is excellent in any, but nnder a better
method inducements would be offered to
make it worth one's while to be an artist
in every branch: and instead of food
cooked by an inexperienced woman who
had hardly known how to cook anything
mora than a potatoe; or a field hand
from a Southern plantation, who had not
been able to try her skill on much more
than corn cakes, for these we should be
able to employ persons who knew some
thing of the science of cooking and com
bining and preparing food suitable for
refined and highly organized men and
women.
Many experiments will doubtless be
tried before we find the perfect way. but
let the experiments be mads, we are cer
tainly ready for them.
The generation of young people grow
ing np will adapt themselves very -readily
to new forms and methods. The bur
den of a large house and all of its cares
will be a thing of the past, as soon as it
is seen that we can have a home, and all
of its joys and comforts, without its
cares. This will be a stride in the direc
tion of making life a fine-art, worthy of
thinking beings, instead of the worry it
w to most people.

Joke about the ladv who laced tight in or-

We have as vet no knowledge where
will be deposited the remains of the late
rnnce, but it Is probable that they will
be transferred to Corsica. As is well
known, the body of Napoleon I. was in
terred in Hotel des Invalides during the
reign of Louis Phillippe. This great sol
dier's home was to become for the Bona
partes what 6L Dennis bad been for the
Bourbons, whence it was to be deemed
not a family burial place, but the mauso
leum only or those members who had
worn crowns. In accordance with this
principle of selection, Napoleon III.
caused the body of King Joseph to bo
brought from Florence, where he died in
1S44. This was in 1862, and the following
vear the other crowned Bonanartes (Louis
of Holland and Jerome of Westfalen) fol
lowed him. for the others the late Em
peror had a fine ruotuary chapel built at
Ajaccio. The crypt, underneath the chapel
flour, is octagon iu shape, three of the
eight tombs being already occupied. The
center of the chapel itself has but four
walls, the spaces corresponding to the
open halls, forming together a -Latin
cross, ur the four walls, three are occu
pied by inscriptions in honor of the per
sons buried beneath; for the fourth and
last place no candidate has till now pre
sented itself. One of the inscriptions
runs :

other persons honored by Inscrip
tions are Cardinal reach and Charles
Bonaparte, second Prince of Canino, and
famous for hia knowledge of natural his
tory, who died as Director of the Paris
Botanical Uarden in , I80O. When in -power,
the Bonapartista have always had
great means of getting rich, but most of
them have lived so extravagantly as to
have nothing left when once more out of
office. Laetitia and Feeh, however, were
exceptions to the rule, both having left
large properties. That of the first even
tually came to Napoleon III., and was of
great use to him in carrying out the coup
d'etat. Fesch left most of his wealth to
Joseph Bonaparte. The property of the
late Prince, Louis Napoleon, came from
the Princess Bacciocchi.

The late Countess Waldegrave was to
the last distinguished in appearance and
bearing: she was a slender lady witn
beautilul eyes aod sn expression of min
gled intelligence and sweetness. Her so
cial success was entirely due to her per
sonal qualities, and not to her wealth.
She had genuine kindness and generosity,
and was always ready to help the dis

Noble, honetst and large-hearted in all

distinguished guests, and acknowledging
