It was just at the end o’ the dinner
hour one day, and I was gone down tlie
shaft to have a good look around before
work begun again, and I’d got my right-
hand man, Sain Carberry, with me.
It was a new shaft, about thirty feet
deep, with ladders to go down, and a
windlass and basket for bringing up
stuff and letting down brick and mor
tar.
We hadn't tunnelled more than
p’raps some ten or a dozen foot each
way, so as you may suppose it was
werry frcsli—green, as we calls it;
and I wasn’t quite satisfied about the
horing up, and so on, for you knows
fellows docs get so precious careless
when the’ve once got used to danger;
and as for some of our big navvis, why
they’re just like a set o’ babies, and for
everything else but their regular work,
they’re quite as helpless. Tell ’em to
fill a lorry, or skid a wheel, or wheel a
harrer, they’ll do it like smok ; but as
to taking care o’ themselves—but there,
I needn’t say more about that—just
look at the great, goodtempered, lollop
ing fellows 1 A man cqnLt_Jiave it all
ways; and if lie’s got it all in Bones
nnd muscle, why ’tain’t to be expected
as he's going to have all the brains too.
“ That’s giving a bit there, Sam,” I
says, u-pointing to one part o’ the shaft
where the earth was a-bulging and look
ed loose. “ That ain’t safe. There’ll
be a barrer full o’ stuff a top o’ some
body’s head afore the arternoon’s over,
That’s the rain—that is. Take your
mell nnd knock out that lower shore
and we’ll put it a couple o’ feet higher
up. Mind how you do it!” .Saiu
nods his head, for he was a chap as
never spoke if he could help it, and
then he gets up while I takes a look or
two at the brickwork, so as not to be
done by the men, nor get dropped on
by tlie foreman. Then I hears Sam
banging away at the bit o’ scaffold-pole,
and directly after comes down with a
hollow sound; and then there was a
rattling o’ loose gravelly earth as I
peeps out, nnd then I feels as though
my heart was in iny mouth, for I
shouted out:—“ That’s the wrongonc!”
But in an instant Sain dropped to the
bottom, and as he did so, it seemed as
though some one drew a curtain over
the hole, nnd then I felt a tremendous
blow on tho chest, and was driven
backwards and dashed up against the
wood scaffolding in the tunnel, and I
suppose I was stunned, for I knew noth
ing more for a bit. Then it seemed as
though I was being called, and I sorter
woke up; but everything was as dark
as pitch, and silent as death, and, feel
ing heavy and misty and stupid. I
shut my eyes again, and felt as if going
to sleep; for there didn’t seem to be
anything the matter with me. It was
as though something had shut up
thought nnd sense in the dark, and not
a wink of light could get in. But
there I was in a sort of dreamy com
fortable state, and lay there perfectly
still, till a groaning noise roused me,
when thought came back with a blind
ing flash, and so sharp wits that flash
that my brain seemed scorched, for I
knew that I was harried alive.
For a few minutes I stood where I
first rose up in a half-stooping position,
with my head and shouldera touching
tho poles and boards above me; but a
fresh groan made me begin to feel a-
bout in the darkness, and try to find
out where I was, and how much room
I had to move in. But that was soon
done, for at the bottom there was about
a yard space, nnd as high up as I could
reach it seemed a couple of yards while
the other way there was the width of
the tunneL I dared not move much,
though, for the eartn and broken brick
work kept rolling and crumbling in, to
that at every moment the space grew
1mm, and the cold sweat came out all
over my face, as I thought thatl should
soon be esushed and covered complete
ly up. Just then, however, another
groan sounded dose by me, and for
and knowing that now I was saved in
deed, I tried to say—“Thank God!”
but could only think it.
After a bit I managed to speak, but
I suppose I said all sorts of foolish un
connected things, till I asked the time,
when the voice that revived me so
whispered in my ear that it was nearly
three. H
“ And how long was I there?” I got
out at last, jjd t!
“ Twenty-five hours ! w ■
The first thing I did wa« to start up
and strike my head violently against
the cross piece, so that I was half stun
ned ; and there I began to feel about
for a shovel till I got hold of a handle,
and found that the rest was so tightly
bedded in the soil that I must have
been a good hour grubbing it out with
my fingers. But I kept leaving off to
go and speak to the face, which I knew
must be that of Sam Carberry; and
though, poor fellow, it did him no good,
lie being quite insensible, yet it did me
good, for there was company—I was
not alone—and after leaving off that
way now and then, I worked again
like a good ’un till the shovel was at
liberty; for while I was hard at work
I had no time to think about anything
else.
And now, thought I could feel that
}>oor Sant was breathing, he didn’t
groan; and I began with the shovel to
set his face more at liberty; but at
the first trial I threw down the tool
with a horrible cry, as the loose gravel
came rattling down, and in another
minute tlie poor fellow’s face would
have been completely covered, if I had
not thrust myself against the earth and
kept it liack.
If I could only have kept from think
ing I would not have cared; but now
that I was forced to keep still and hold
up the earth, the thoughts would keep
coining thick and fast, and mixed up
with them all were coffins—Mack doth
coffins with white nails ; white coffins
with black nails; dm coffins; work-
house shells; and inside every one of
WI could as* myself lyip<r_ stiff and
cold. There was one li;
elm, which looked sometimes quite like
a little speck right oil'in the distance,
and then came gradually closer and
closer, till it seemed as though the next
moment it would crush me, or drive
me into the earth where I was crouch
ing ; then it would gradually go back
further till it was quite a speck again.
Then there were processions o’ people
in black constantly crowding by.
Now and then there was a noise of a
stone fulling or a little bit of rolling
earth, else all was still and silent os if
there wasn’t such a thing as hearing.
It was so still that the quietness was
horrible, and I began to talk out aloud
for the sake of having something to
hear; and then I listened again, hoping
to hear the sounds of pick and spade,
for I knew they would be trying to dig me
us out, alive or dead.
That will be it,” I says out aloud;
“ they’ll dig, and dig, and dig, till they
gets to us; but then they’ve got all the
stuff to get up tlie shaft, and shove up
again ns they goes, and I shall be goue
long before they gets to me.”
Then the horror of death came again,
I was lying, worn out and helpless upon
the grouud, feebly trying to grub or
burrow a way out with my fingers.
All at once I remembered poor Sam,
and, after a good deal of groping about,
I found the board again, and laid my
hand upon his face, but only to snatch
it away with a chill running through
me, for it was as cold os ice. Then I
tried to touch his breast, but soon gave
up; for, with the exception of his face,
he was completely bedded in the earth,
while the board had only saved him at
the first moment—from instantaneous
death.
I crept as far off as I could ; for now
it seemed that death was very near me,
and that my own time must be pretty
well run out. I won’t tell you how
weak I was again, and how all my past
actions came trooping past me. There
they all were, from boyhood to the
present, and I couldn’t help groaning
as I saw how precious little good there
was in them—just here and there a
bright spark among all the blackness.
At last I began to think it was all over,
for a heavy stupid faintness came over
me, and I battled against it with all
my might; blit it was like—to me,
there in that darkness—like a great
bird coming nearer and nearer with
heavy shadowy wings ; and as I tried
to drive it off, it went back, but only
to come again, till at last the place
seemed to fade away; for after grop
ing round and round the place so many
times, I seemed to see and know every
bit of it as if I saw it with my eyes,
till it faded away, and all seemed to be
NcxttKing as “f rSnfSllSa^TSlrtSfi
thud-thud-thuding ” noise, and it
woke me up so that I sat holding my
head, which ached as though it would
split, and trying to recollect once more
where I was, and I s’pose my poor
mind must have been a bit touched,
for I could make nothing out until I
had crawled and felt about a few times
over when once more it all came back
to me with a flash, and I remember
thinking how much better it would
have been if I had kept half stunned,
for now I knew what the noise was,
and I could hardly contain the hope
which seemed to drive roe almost mad.
Would they get to me before I was
dead ? Could I help them? Would
they give me up in despair, and leave
I lay listening to the “ thud-thud-
thud ” till all at once it stopped, and
the stillness that succeeded was so
awful that I shrieked out, for I thought
they had given up digging. But tlie
dull, distant sound roused me again,
and once more I lay listening and
counting the spadefulls that I knew
and I leaped up and beat myself about
till I was drenched with blood and
sweat, and then I lay still again, with
m> heart throbbing and beating, and,
try what I would, I couldn’t get enough
breath. I tried to reach the face of my
poor mate, and I found it still warm,
aud that tlie earth had not settled over
it. It was company to be able to touch
it so long as he was alive; but
thought about what must come, and
then shivered as I felt that I should
scrape the loose gravel over it, and
creep to the far end of the narrow hole.
And now I began, for the first time, to
think about home, and ray two girls
and their mother; and there was no
comfort there, for I began to wonder
what was to become of them when
was gone. Quickly as could be, I cal
culated what my funeral would cost
the Odd Fellows, and then about the
allowance there’d be for my people out
o’ the Widow and Oiphan’s Fund, aud
then I thought how things might be
worse than they was. At last of all, I
feels quiet and patient like, and, for the
first time since Fd been buried, I was
down on my knees with my face in my
hands.
I don’t know how long I stooped
like that, when all at ones I fancied I
heard a voice speaking and I started
up; but it EQunded no more, and as I
set listening I could see again all sorts
of things coming and going. Now it
was coffins; now strange-looking beasts
and things without any particular
shape; and as they moved and coiled,
and rolled forward, I kept feeling as
though they must touch me; but no,
they glided off again, and at last, to
being carried, anti something trickled
into my mouth. Then voices were
buzzing about me more and more, and
I began to feel able to breathe, and I
heard seme one say: “ He’s coming
.to!” and then one spoke, and then
another spoke, and I knew I was being

Protective tariffs, however beneficial
to-special irftffoliics, are considered by
ail parties as temporary expedients.
The true and permanent protection of
labor is education. The superioi con
dition of American workmen is main
ly tlie result of their superior produc
tiveness. The use of machinery re
duces the amount of manual labor, and
enhances its value, because it requires
labor of a higher quality. The man
who manages a machine must know
more than he who simply handles a
tool. This is curiously illustrated in
Europe. Russia, paying a dollar or a
dollar and a luilf per week to work
men in her iron-works, nevertheless has
to protect herself against the iron of
Germany, which pays still more;
Germany protects herself against Bel
gium, where wages are higher yet;
Belgium has, uutil very recently, been
in danger from England, where the
wages of skilled labor are highest of
all. But English manufacturers are
now alarmcU at this gradual loss of
European markets; and it is generally
acknowledged that the cause Is the
superior technical education now given
on the continent to workmen. Aside
from all temporary and artificial pro
tection, we believe that the great in
telligence and universal education of
American mechanics, together with the
unequaled natural advantages of our
country will place us, and keep us, at
the head of the world.
l.«t every working-man bear in mind
that no combination, no protection, no
capital, no temporary advantages can
be half as valuable to him as his own
brains ami hands. Siqterior intelli
gence wflFteU, in spite of all obstacles
nvenient,
portable, eway'Ttbred, safely insured,
and certainly profitable of all treasure
or stock in trade. Nothing but lunacy
or death can take it away from a man.
Other people may cheat him out of
what he has in money or property; the
elements, tlie fluctuations of trade, a
thousand tilings, may make him bank
rupt in outward wealth; but no one
can cheat him of what he knows; fire
and water, currencies, financial catas
trophes, all leave a man’s intellectual
investments uninjured. Next to a
good conscience and a pure life, there
is nothing like a trained and well-stored
mind.
This sounds as familiar as a sermon;
yet how many are there who habitually
act upon it? Do not men app?ar to
exhaust their ingenuity for means to
increase their wages—willing to do any
thing for higher pay, except to deserve
it? 6ur trades unions arc too fre
quently ahused by shiftless workmen,
who think it easier to demand wages
than to euro them. Good mechanics
are injured and disgraced by such as
sociation. The climax of folly was
recently reached by a foreign union,
which required of its members an oath

The Seedling Potato.
BTD.S. HEFFROS.
There are many persons who do not
know the difference between seed pota
toes and potato seed. By seed pota
toes is generally meant the potatoes
used for planting. But such are not
seeds ; they are simply tubers, or en
larged underground stems, and when
planted reproduce themselves as much
as a cutting of a geranium will develop
into a plant similar to the one from
which it is taken. In a good potato
year, most varieties of potato plants
produce more or less seeds bplbs or po-
tato apples. Some kinds, however/
flower freely, but produce no fruit
The Peachblow and tlie Early Good
rich generally bear fruit abundantly,
but in a hot, dry season little fruit may
be expected. Each potato ball has
from thirty to sixty seeds, in shajie
much like those of the pepper, only
smaller and whiter.
To grow new varieties of the potato,
it is necessary to raise them directly
from the seed ball. But while it is
highly interesting and instructive, and
occasionally profitable, as a whole, it
promises little pay for the labor and
care necessary to success. The late
Rev. C. E. Goodrich spent a large
share of sixteeu years in experiments
upon seedling potatoes. During this
time he tested about 16,000 seedlings,
and as a result of his experiments he
produced no two kinds exactly alike,
and no one precisely like the parent
plant tlrnt bore tlie seed. Nor did lie
produce many varieties of high charac
ter. But he originated several varie
ties that were productive and compara
tively healthy, when the so-called “ po
tato disease” was destroying almost all
of the old sorts. The best sort that
was sent out by him was the Garnet
Chili, while the following four sorts
were originated and tested by him, but
sent out by the writer, after Mr. Good
rich’s death, viz:—The Early Good
rich, Harrison, Goodrich Calico, and
Gleason- The Garnet Chili is the
parent of the Early Rose, while the
Climax is a seedling of the Early
Goodrich. Hence, though the Early
Rose was raised by Albert Breasee,
: Climax by the writer, and both
The instructions of Liebig in this par
ticular are hardly safe; for, although a
temperature below that of boiling water
may coagulate albumen nnd develop
the flavors of cooked meat, it may not
insure the destruction of dangerous
parasites. It is therefore better to have
meat a little over-cooked than other
wise.—Dr. Ldhebtfs Report on the Cat
tle Plague.
Inflammation of the KtDXEYs
ix Cattle.—Cattle are occasionally
subject to inflammation of the kidneys,
bearing considerable resemblance to
acute red water, but attended by more
symptoms of pure inflammation of that
organ in other animals. At first there
are seldom any indications of disease
beyond h straining' effort in voicing'
urine, and which is ejected forcibly antf
in small quantities, the loins being
more than usually tender, and perhaps
a little hot. In a day or two after
ward, the beast becomes dull, and
eareless about its food, the difficulty of
stalling increases; blood is perceived
to mingle with the urine; the horns
and ears cold, the pulse frequent and
hard, and the breathing quickened.

the urine becomes greater, the animal
strangely bows its back and groans with
pain, and if not relieved, becomes
paralyzed behind and dies in three or

plentiful bleeding, active purging, em

poultice to them, bran mashes, gruel
and a small quantity of succulent food.
Hog Trade.—Atlanta is doing a
very heavy business in pork this sea
son. And if more capital was invest
ed here in the pork packing business,
it would double itself in a season.
Tennessee hogs can be laid down in
Atlanta cheaper than the packers of
Cincinnati can procure them; but the

and then the noise could not be heard;
at last, when I could just faintly hear
me, yet it is to Mr. Goodrich that the
country is indebted for the stock. And
there are still others under test culture
tlmt may prove of fine quality.
To those who would like to experi
ment in growing seedlings, I would
say, select your seed from only strong
growing, healthy sorts, and for such a
purpose I know of none better on the
whole tlian the family of Goodrich
seedlings, though I know of one very
promising seedling of the old Neshan-
ock that has recently been fully tested.
Have never succeeded in obtaining a
desirable seedling from the Peachblow,
nor have I ever seen one that was any
improvement on the parent.
After gathering the seed balls, lay
them up till they begin to decay, then
wash out the seeds, dry carefully, mark
them with the name of the parent,
plant and keep each kind separate.
When dry, put into papers mid keep
safely from mice.

will give my plan of growing.— Young

in reply, I found I couldn’t do more
than whisper.
All at once the earth came caving in
again, and I was half buried. Weak
as I was, it took me long enough to get
free, mid to crawl up nnd sit behind mi
upright post or two, and it was well I
did, for no sooner was I there than the
gravel caved in again, and I heard a
shout—saw a flash of light, and then
was jammed close into the corner, and
must have been suffocated but for the
wood framing about me, which kept
the dirt off. But as I set wedged in, I
amid hear the sound of the shovels
and picks, and I knew how men would
toil to get out a fellow-workman. And
now feeling quite helpless aud resigned,
I tried my best to pray for my life, or,
if not, for mercy for what I had done
wrong.
“ Ain’t nobody here ?” said a voice,
as it seemed to me in the dork, and I
could not speak to cry for help.
“ Must be,” said another voice.—
“ Poor chap’s under them planks 1”—

Coating for Brick Walls.
A good outside coating for rough
walls of brick or stone is that used on
government light-houses, etc. It is
said to be a good water-proof as well as
an excellent substitute for paint for
outside walls. Take of fresh Rosen-
dale cement three parts, and of dean,
fine sand one part; mix with fresh wa
ter thoroughly. ! This gives a gray or
granite color, dark or light, according
to the color of the cement. If bflek
color is desired, add enough Venetian
red to the mixture to produce the col
or. If a very light color ia desired,
lime may be used with the cement and
sand. Caro must be taken to have all
of tlie ingredients well mixed together.
In applying the wash, the wall must
he wet with clean fresh water, then

Appearance of Good and Diseased Meat.
Good meat is neither of a pale pink
ish color, nor of a deep purple tint—
The former is indicative of disease, and
the latter is a sign that the animal has
died from natural causes. Good meat
has a marbled appearance from the
ramifications of little veins of intercel
lular fat; antf the fat, especially of the
internal organs, is hard and suety, and
is never wet; whereas that of diseased
meat is soft and watery, often like jelly
and sodden parchment. Again, the
touch or feel of healthy meat is firm
and elastic, and it* hardly moistens the
fingers, whereas that of diseased meat
is soft and wet; in feet, it is often so
wet that serum runs from it, and then
it is technically called wet
Good meat has but little odor, and
this is not disagreeaMe; whereas dis
eased meat smells feint and cadaverous,
and often has the odor of medicine.—
This is best observed by cutting it and
smelling the knife, or by pouring a lit
tle warm water upon it Good meat
will bear cooking without shrinking,
and without losing very much in
follow immediately with the cement j weight; bu^bad meat shrivels up, and
wash. This prevents the bricks from it often boils to pieces. All these ef-
washr This prevents
absorbing the water from the wash too
during tho application—the admixture
to bo made ns thick as can be applied
conveniently with a white-wash brush.
It is stated that this cement wash will
stand for years, tlmt it is admirably
suited for brick-work, fences, etc., that
it is nearly water-proof, but that it can
not be used to advantage over paiut or
whitewash.—-Artisan.
fects are due to the presence of a large
proportion of s?ruin in the meat, and
the relatively large amount of intercel
lular or gelatinous tissue; for tho fet
and true muscular substance are to a
greater or less degree deficient
It is at all times best to guard against
the possibility of injury by having meat
well cooked. It should Ixj cooked so

■Workmen’s Dwellings ix Hol-
laxd.—An experiment, which appears
to answer, has been tried by some of
the companies for building improved
for tlie working classes,
namely, that of introducing the “ flat”
system, by which the lower portiou of
the house is occupied by one family,
with exclusive use of a garden on one
side of the house; while another family
tenants tiro upper story, which is enter
ed by an outer staircase on tlie other
side, and cutails the garden on that
same side. As the occujmuts of the
lower part have to go outside their plot,
round the corner, and up tlie staircase,
if tlroy wish to communicate with their
topmost neighbors, it certainly gives a
far greater degree of privacy than if
hey were simply next door.—Food
Journal.
Erysipelas ixHogs.—The patches
on the skin point to morbid changes in
the blood.
Ten grains of tartar emetic may be
shaken upon the tongue as a vomit; a
scruple of saltpetre and 20 drops of
tincture of the perchloride of iron may
be administered thrice daily in an
ounce of water, and cold water may be
dashed on the surface, followed in add
weather by active friction. If the
difficult breathing shows that the lungs
are involved, mustard and turpentine
may be applied upon the sides, after
bathing them with very hot water. If
the spots or patches remain stationary,
a favorable result may be looked for.
Cbibbixg.—Cribbing is -induced by
amfinement and indigestion; therefore,
a due amount of exercise and attention
to the regulation of diet are the anti
dotes called for. Where the vice has
degenerated into habit, covering the
rim of the manger with tin or thin
sheet iron may in a measure, counter
act the evil complained of.
Rixoboxe.—In all cases of early
disease of this nature, whether it be
periosteal, bony, cartilaginous, fibrous
or muscular, cooling lotions, fomenta
tions, light diet, and rest are tlie means
most calculated to do good. In chron
ic cases we use Acetate Cantharidcs
applied daily until the parts are hot
and tender: then substitute cold water
bandages, and repeat the process if
necessary
