The stickful of information in ihe Associated Press dispatches, cons cerning ihe recern coal mine fire at Osage, Kansas, conveys but a stingy idea of the horrors attending the . event, as related by the local papers, if’ The fire broke out about noon, and when first discovered the main shaft Vs the mine was in a blaze, with 32 mien and boys at work beyond and beneath the flam's, nearly foriy feet ► below the level of the earth. In a few minutes the whole population of the place tushed to ihe scene, and a thousand or more men, women and Children —the relatives, friends and neighbors of the entombed miners— were gathered at the mouth of the shaft, stupefied with fear and anguish. All the wells in the town had nearly run dry weeks be lore, and scarcely enough water could be obtained to subdue the heat above ground, much less to arrest the conflagration inside the mine.— Thus matters stood for two awful ■fciours. vs hen a railroad engine arrived f nth a full tank, which was emptied Bhurriedly into the shaft, and a great ’shout ol hope went up from the peo ple. At this juncture a man emerged, like a spectre from the blaze and and fell in a swoon at the qvrery edge of the shaft. An hour kjater two more nt en cried up through "Wie flames for help, and a ladder »was lowered to them, on which they mjade their way to the top, and were dragged forth alive, but burned and blackened beyond recognition.— Three were now saved, but twentyv *nine oihers were still below, and, the jjre was not yet under control. The terrified cYowd stood aghast for a i£w minutes, and then suddenly a panic of despair seemed to seize them, the stifled moans of the wo men and children breaking out afresh, and the men drawing back from the mine with blanched and pfcyerted faces, The supreme moment of the emer. Kency had come, and the one man lo Fmeet it was there, thank God, as he always is. His name was Maiks— William' Marks—afnl stepped to the frqnt with the promptness and the modesty of a true hero. ‘‘Fasten a rope around me and let me down into the shaft,” he said. The proposiiiob was appalling, but the quiet courage of the man tied every tongue and stilled ihe ago ny of the erbwd like a special providence. Down he went into the horrible cavern without an' other word, and reaching the bottom freed himself for his search in the entries diverging from the main shalt. At almost the first step into the sti~ fling darkness he stumbled upon the inanimate form of one of the miners, in a coal car, which he pushed to the entrance, secured the rope around the body, called to those above to hoist away, and in a moment the man was safe. Further search soon revealed ihe whereabouts of the remainingtwenly-eighi, and slowly but surely Marks piloted them to the mouth ot the mine and delivered their, one by one—many insensible but all alive—out of the jaws of death into the hands of their wives and children. Then when the last one had been re-cued, lie c ime him selt to the surface, scorched and blinded, and nearly suffocated, and stood there silently among the cheer ing townspeople, the master of the situation. Thus the peril was surmounted without any sacrifice of life ; but the heroism was there just the same.— The rescue ot the helpless miners, and the escape of the man who gave death scorn to save them, spoiled the perfection of a tragedy ; but the de struction of all concerned could not have added to the radiance which belongs to the superb and unselfish bravery of William Marks. He was only a common workingman, facing a duty to his fellows; but he met that duty like a Ron.an monarch, and made grasshopper Arkansas splendid for one day with his cons quering courage. He probably nev er heard of Cato pausing, sword in band, to welcome death, or of Cieo patra pu ting on a crow, ike a royal ending—or even of HavVJTrn Biudso, nr Ilarte’r. Flynn ot Virginia He ..merely saw and felt file immi nent need of risking one file to re deem twenty-mine other lives, and coolly accepted the challenge. He was the right man in the right place at the right time. May he live long prosper. [From the Troy Press.] A FUNNY YOUNG MAN. His Curious Performances When He is Asleep. There resides in this city one the most remarkable Sutnnopathists we have ever heard of. He is a e'erk in a River street siore, arid is a young man ot excellent parts and abilities. Since childhood he has performed some strange feats while in his peculiar slt?ep. On several occasions during the present winter he has arisen in his sleep, and taken down the stoves in the kiiehen and parlor. While his wife has watched him he has carefully re' moved two stoves—both of them are of good weight—to a store-room. Having finished he returns to bed, and in the morning has not ihe slight est recollection of his feat. On very rare occasions, alter he has taken down the stoves and returned lo bed, he will get up again and put the stoves back again in their places Men who have to put and take down stoves periodically may envy our somnambulist’s absence of conscious ness while performing these oidina.. rily disagreeable feats. It is a com-, mon occurrence for him to get out of bed and throw the coal-scuttle out of the window. Several times he has arisen, and, s mting himself by the cradle from which his wife has been prudent enough to reu ove the baby, has rocked it with sulth cient to give the best-stomached in tact in. the world an acute co lie.— One night he clambered to the roof of his dwelling and hurled scuttle over to the sidewalk,. It narrowly missed a policeman 's head. Nor is it uncommon for our hero to get up at midnight, dress himself and go up the store to attend to busuiss.— One ol his freaks is to kindle a fire in the kitchen stove, set the table, prepare a meal and eat it. He sets the table with the ncatsness ot a thorough housewife, but when he gets the wrong plate or picks up the sugar by mistake for the salt, he dashes it to the fl or. Sunday morning about 2 o’clock our friend got out of bed, dressed himself, took from the cradle the pil low which his places therein when she removes the baby, carried it ten derly to the front stoop, laid it down, LOUISVILLE, JEFFERSON COUNTY. GA- M ARCH 18,1871 got th»baby.carriage, picked up the pillow, placed it carefully in the car riage, and gave it half an hou r’s ride. At this time the tbermometor indi cated IQ degrees below zero. The somnambulist was seen by the policeman on the beat ? who, be ing acquainted witji bis lreaks, did notdisiurb bimi but kept his eye upon him, Tuesday night the som natnbulut arose in bed, ami, clutch ing his wife’s ib r oat and placing his knee on her breast, shouted, ‘l’ll cut your heart out!’ This was anew experience for the iady, and cane near being a seriqtjs one.' At ti£| outset so tight Wu3 < st"d- grip on h|| throal, she was unable to scream help. At length, by tha use of tuf her strength, she managed to loosen the grip so that she could scream for help. In a few minutes a crowd was gathered around the house* The screams continued, and the people, supposing a murder was being com' mit’ed, forced their way into ihe couple's apariments. Among them was the man’s employer, who touch ed ihe somnambu ist with the point of a pin. This awakened biro, and, after explanation the outsiders re tired and the couple again went back to their slumbers, which were not again interrupted. The young is teiribly chagrined at this act, and so sensitive on the rrutte r that >„’*• refrain from giving his name, lie is well known among onr younger people, and is highly respect- d.— He believes that his somnambulism is caused by an accumulation of the blood in the neighborhood of die nerves in the legs and arms, and says that whem vei lie is in that siate a pinch or the pricking of a pin, which starts the blood through its proper channels, will awaken him. Desperate Encounter with a Kangaroo. The Alqury (Australia) Banner, says : ‘Perhaps the most sensational encounter with a kangaroo that has ever been recorded occurred a few days since near Mid -iigundYa On Mw main Sidney real. The hero of die cStdjywrtt’.Tji* j?as John B mike, who has been for mmy years engaged on the Mountain Creek st tion. It appears that Mr. Bou.rke was riding beiwet n Mulh iigandra and Movin' tarn creek, when he started dire - kangaroos, ami immediately gave chase. The quarry headed in the directi >n of Mullengandra, and for miles the pace was very hot. Brush fences and fallen limber were of course, no serious obstacles to- the long tails; and, well mounted on a. wiry o'd stock hotse, Bourke focuM but litde difficulty in maintaining a respectable position in the hunt. — After a smart spin, in the course of which the hunter, if he had held his ground, had yet tailed to gain an inch on the kangaroo, the horse bev gun to show signs of caving in, and 't seemed probable that ihe denizens of the forest would have the best of it. • Ai ibis juncture, however, ihe kangaroos, separated, two continu' ing on in ihe same dircciion as that which they had been goin'g previous ly, and the third a tremenduous ‘old man,’ about seven feet high— making a sharp turn to the right.— For a second or two Bourke was un decided as to which he should fol low, but the dog soon settled the matter by taking afier the o'd man. That this course was the wisest soon became apparent, as before another half mile of ground had been covered the boomer displayed un mistabable symptoms of distress, and in five minutes the old man was brought to bay in the water bol*.— Here, however the kangaroo was still, to a certain extent, master of ihe siuatiou, as liom his insular position it was no easy matter either lor man or dog to give die cony de grace. Bourke conclud ed lo push matters to a conclusion, and jumped, oft his horse' in order lo seize a sapling which lay cotivenint iy at hand. In doing this he had calculated too much on die quies cence of the oltl man. While Bonrke was in the act ofstopding to pick up the sapling, the kangaroo, with one bound, was upon him, and in an other minute had regained his posi tion in the centre of the wa’er.— Here had it not been for the help of die f nlhful dog,our story would have had a more hole, with the unfortu nate Bourke his arms, melancholy termination. Even as it was, poor Bourke got a bad mauling,, and be vehemently asserts that the grip of. the boOmer could only be compar and io that of a grizzly bear. Whether he would ever have got clear from giip of the kangaroo, if he had been without his dog, is highly proble matical, but, as it turned out, the lour-footed companion proved a most useful ally, and turn and the scale to victory.’ Happy Husbands. It is a man’s own fault if he is unhappy with his wife, in nine cases out of ten. It is a very exceptiona ble woman who wid not be all she can to an. attentive husband, and a more exceptional one it site finds herself wilfully neglected. It would be very easy to hate a naan who,, having bound a woman to him,, makes no effort to render her happy; it is hard nob to love one who is con stant and lender ; and where a wo man loves she always strives to The reason is very plain. Absorbed in themselves,, those who desire the world’s applause are careless of their little world at home ;. while those who have none of this egotism strive to keep the hearts that are their own and aie happy in their tenderness. No woman will love a mau the bet ter for being renowned and promi. nent. Ttiough he be first among men she will only be prouder, uot fonder—and if she loses him through his renown, she will not even be proud. But give her love, appreci ation ai.d kindness, aud there is no saciilice she would not make for his happiness ami comfort. The man who loves her well is her hero and king. INo less a hero to her because he is not one to another—no less a king because his only kingdom is her heart and home. ‘•Hallo 1 you black rascal, what are you doing—rubbing your sooty nose against tfiat fish ?” ‘■l ain’t rubbin’ my nose again ’uui, uias’r.’’ •‘VVnat ate you doing ?” ‘■Me taik to uin, dat’s all.” “ Talk to a fish “Yah, yah.” “And what do they say ?” “Me ask ’urn what’s de news at sea. ‘‘And what does the fish answer io shat t” "By igolly, he st/s he dan’t know —he htui n ’if tf/ecvr bL\ r >£,*«•,so ir&p weeks.” A liiile boy that went to church was cautioned in t erne in be r the text, which wua: “ Why stand } e all the day iJle ?
