MY LUCK IN A TUNNEL. AN Ol.li MINER’S STORY I urn mi old minor. Not one of l!ie nowaday stripe, but an old lor- ty-nine Californian miner. I have been iq^gaged in all description of mining transactions, except the new-fangled one of mining stock in companies—“feet,” I believe they call it. Among my varied under takings was one operation in a tun nel, in which I and my partners en gaged in the summer of 1852. One afternoon in that year, as I was carrying up a bucket of water from (ho river to our tout at the top of the bank, my foot caught under n large stone, and my perpendicular was at onee changed to a horizontal pasture, while the water from the overturned bucket spread itself in various directions. 1 raised myself to my feet again, and picking up the bucket was about to retrace my steps to the riv er, when my attention was attract ed liy a folded paper,’ which lmd boon placed under the stone caus ing my fall. When my foot tripped, the stone was overturned, and the paper, folded in letter form, lay ex posed to view. Bending over, I picked it up, and proceeded to ex amine it. It was written with pen cil, in characters very irregular and stiffly formed, as if made by a per son with a wounded hand. The contents were as follows: If this letter should fall into the hands of any person, I wish to in form them that I have been attack ed and mortally wounded by my two partners who wish to obtain my money. Failing to discover it, after wounding me, they have fled, leav ing me here to die. Whoever gets this letter will find, buried in a ravine at the foot of a ‘blazed’ tree, twenty-five paces due north of this, a bag containing live thousand dol lars in gold dust. That it limy prove ; more fortunate property to him than it lias to me, is the hope of— Andrew Forrest. : 1 stood for some minutes after reading the letter like one awaken ed from a dream. I could not con- lyinee myself that the letter in my {hand was a genuine document, and read it over and over again, think- ! ing 1 might get some clue from the handwriting to the real author. It light be a trick got up by my part ners to raise a laugh at my expense. No,, the place where it was found, i ami the purely accidental discovery, l rendered such a surmise very im probable. I sat down on a log and turned the matter over in my mind for some time. At last I got up^ and pacing off the required distance in the direction meutioned in the letter, I came to a large tree. Care- fuily examining it, I discovered a scar clearly indicating that tire tree had been “blazed” at some remote period. This was “confirmation strong as proof of Holy Writ;” and 1 immediately went to work to dis cover the locality of the ravine. Here I was xt fault. Nothing of the kind was to ! e seen. To ail appear- auces a streau of water never had passed in the neighborhood of the tree. This wa- not encouraging; and I sat down cn the grouud and read the letter again, to see if 1 had not mistaken some of its directions. No, I was in the right place, but where was the raviro? A tap on theshoul'.'.r aroused me : from my meditation, an.' on looking up I saw my two parsers, who :loudly abused me for having neg- mannerof finding it. To my sur prise, they were as much excited by its perusal as I had been and look ed around perseveringl> for the ritten through ravine, but without effect for some time. At last Jack Nesbitt, who had been a miner since ’48, said: “I think there has been a ravine here, hut it has been filled up by the rains.” On close examination we decided that his suspicion was correct, and after some consultation we deter mined that the next morning we would commence digging. Morning came, and we repaired to the spot with pick and shovel. Jack proposed that we should fol low the course of the ravine, which appeared to run into the body of the hill, rather than to dig down in any one place. The result was that in a few days we had formed quite a cave in the side of the hill. We worked atthistunnel for four lays without finding the bag. On lie fourth day Jack promised that ic and my other partner Bill Jen- lings, should carry the dirt down to the river, and wash it, leaving me to dig in the funnel. In that way, they thought, we might at least “make grub.” while searching for the hidden money. I thought the idea foolish, but as they had enter cd so eagerly into my views regard ing the buried bag of dust, I made no objection to the plan, and dug away with redoubled energy. In fact, I had thought so much about the object of our search (hat I had become utterly regardless of any thing else. I had dreamt of it when waking, and it had obtained com plete control of my mind. Day af ter day we worked—I digging, and my companions washing; yet, Grange to say, I did uot become discouraged. They said nothing about the bag of gold dust, and I asked them nothing about the re- -ultof their washing the excavated soil. We had worked about three weeks, and liafl formed a tunnel ex lending about fifteen feet into the hill, when, on ono afternoon com pletely tired out, I sat down to rest in the cave. I had only intended to sit a little while, but five minutes bad not elapsed before I was fast .asleep. I was awakened bv a crash, tnd found my feet and legs com pletely covered by a mass of dirt and stones. The front part of the tunnel had fallen in, and I was in a nanner buried alive. About ten feet of the tunnel remained firm, ind from my observation of its structure prior to the accident, 1 •vas convinced that I had no reason to apprehend any danger in that piarter. My partners had carried lirt enough to the river to keep ;hem busy for the rest of the day, ,o I had nothing to hope from their assistance. The question that first presented itself to my mind was, How long can life be sustaiffed in 'his confined state? I had read a iozeu times statistics in relation to the amount of aircomsumed hourly by a human being’s lungs, but, like tlmost everybody else, had merely wondered at the time and then for- ot the figures. How much would I have given hen to have been aide to recall them! The next thought was, How •an I proceed to extricate myself? This question was difficult of solu tion. If I went to work with a shovel and pick to clear away the lirt that had fallen, it was extreme ly likely that all which I could be ible to remove w >uld be immedi ately replaced by that which would fall from above. This was pleasant. I racked my brains to devise some means of liberating myself, but without effect. Leaning against the wall in utter despondency, I was about to throw nvself on the ground and await my fate, when 1 observed quite a cur rent of water, on a small scale, was making its way down the side of the cave. At first I was alarmed, os 1 thought it might loosen the earth above, and bring another mass down on ray head. The next moment the thought struck me that it might be turned to my ad vantage. Why could I not so direct it that it would wash away suffi cient earth in its progress to the outlet of the cave to make an open ing large enough to allow me to crawl through it ? If it only suc ceeded in making an air-hole, it would enable me to exist till my partners could come to my rescue. Carefully examining the course of the water, I succeeded in finding the spot where it entered the cave, and to my great joy ascertained that I could easily direct it by cut ting a channel out of the side of my prison to the mass of earth that blocked up the entrance to the tuu- nel. The air at this time was quite hot and stifling, and I became aware that whatever was done must be awaited the further action of the water. In a few minutes I was enabled to push it still further, till at last it was out of my reach. Then, placing my pick-handle Something Will Break. He wore a paper collar which hail been in constant use for a week, and this was attached to a woolen shirt against it, I pushed as far as I could, i which had faded from light blue to With what eagerness did I watch to see the first opening made by the water, and I was soon gratified by observing that it flowed in a steady stream in the direction in which pushed the pick and shovel. In a few minutes I discovered faint glimmering in the distance, which might be an opening or the effect of an excited imagination, scarcely knew which. the doubt soon resolved itself into cer tainty, and an opening some five inches in diameter speedily disclos ed itself. Larger and larger the opening grew; lump upon lump was washed away by the stream until the channel became large enough for me to place my head in and hal lo lustily for assistance. Just as I was drawiag my head back I caught -ight of f buckskin bag. Hastily seizing it, I found it was the one we were in search of. and which, but for the accident, I would never have found. Wishing to surprise my compan ions, I concealed it, and redoubled my cries. In a few minutes they came running up the hill, and soon liberated me from my unpleasant position. On opening the bag we found about five thousand dollars worth of gold. We could never ascertain anything about Mr. Forrest, so wc divided the money among us.

After I had cut • a channel for the water to flow to wards the entrance, I enlarge^ the opening by which the stream enter ed the cave, and was delighted Jo observe that it flowed with redoub led force. Taking my shovel, I forced it through the moistened earth as far as I was able, and then A few months ago a gentleman presented M. Perkins, No. 391 De troit street, Cleveland, with a very tractable pup. The little fellow learned tricks rapidly, and develop ed a degree of affection surprising even in a dog. He would lie in his corner and sulk for days after a cross word or any lack of attention. Every morning he went up stairs to awaken his master, and go through his repertory of tricks. A few days ago a boy sold Per kins a little black-and-tan puppy, luick, saucy, and intelligent. It learned more in a week than its predecessor, Jack, had been able to learn in his lifetime. Naturally enough Mouse, the new comer, put Jack’s nose out of joint. Jack would thrust himself in and claim the ca resses intended for Mouse, but it was no use. One day Jack was sternly ordered to go away. He sadly retreated to his corner, and lay there moaning for days. Occasionally he would stag ger out and gaze up into the face of his master with a look of indescrib able sorrow, but when Mouse came frisking about he would crawl away to his corner and resume his low whining and moaning. It was supposed that he was suffering from iisease, but a dog doctor failed to ind what was the matter. He pre- cribed beef tea, but Jack contin- iea to refuse to eat. Yesterday ■ ack reeled up tq his master, and aade a feeble attempt to perform he tricks that had once been the lelight of the small boys of the neighborhood. An autopsy by the loctor revealed no appreciable cause for his death, and it, seemed clear to all that he had died of a broken heart.—Cleveland Record. what might be classed as a crushed huckleberry color. His pantaloons were of coarse linen, bearing straw berry stains here and there, and his straw hat had led the procession on more than one Fourth of July. It was evident half a mile away that he was from a back county. He must have felt his isolation, but he mailed up Grand River A>"-1 After the Lodge's Secret. Seeking a Fortune in the West. “My dear,” said a father to his laughter, “how long ago was it that (leorge Jackson went West to seek his fortune ?” “Just a year,” the girl replied, with a blush. “Was ihere anything between you and George ? I sometimes thought that he was fond of you.” “He was, papa,” and the girl hid her face on the old man’s shoulder. “I promised George when he went away that I would wait for him for years if necessary.” “I have a letter from him.” “Oh, papa!” she exclaimed. “Does he—er—has he—oh, tell me, what Joes he say?” “He wants $20 to get home with.” An Encouraging Sign. “I’ll tell you a great secret, but you must promise not to give it away.” “Of course not” “I believe Miss Birdie McGinnis is gone on me. I’ve almost made up my mind to pop ihe question.” “What did she say to you?” “She didn’t say anything to me precise, but at the picnic on Onion Creek, she patted my dog on the head. Isn't that an encouraging sign.” “Yes, that’s the next thing to pat ting yon on the head. Your turn will come next.” A five-year old, who went to school for the first time, came home at noon and said to his mother: “Mamma, I don’t think that teacher knows much.” “Why not, my dear ?” “Why, she kept asking questions all the time. She asked where the Mississippi river was,” nTO as stiff as a poker, carrying his extras in a carpet-sack, and turned in at a hotel and asked if he could be accommodated for a few days while he looked around. When an swered in the affirmative, he grew confidential and remarked: “I may have to go to Washington before I go back home.” “Got business with the govern ment ?” queried the clerk. “Y-e-s sorter bizness. I’m after an office of some sort. “Ah! Any particular claim?” “I should remark! I’ve paid taxes for seventeen straight years, been boss at every Fourth of July, and had more fights with the infidels in my neighborhood than you can shake a stick at. I’m going to climb an office or break both legs.” That was a week ago. Yesterday he departed for home, broken down and dispirited. When he settled his hotel hill he had twenty-seven cents left, and when one of the guests who knew of his plans ask ed him how he succeeded, he ex plained. “Say, I’m not the camel I thought I was. I thought I could climb an office like a cow shinning lip a hick ory, but I’m left.” •‘What were you after?” “Anything. I kinder thought I’d like to go as Minister somewhere or other, but a feller in a saloon down here wanted to knew how I could go as minister when I couldn’t preach. Another feller said I might get into the Custom House, but when I went i*» there and asked a man if he wanted an office-seeker he said he’d give me two ininits to skip.” “Did you .go to the Pension Of fice?” “Yes. Went in there and saw the boss, and he wouldn’t take me be cause I couldn’t cipher in cube root. I thought I knew all the roots in the State, but he got me on cube.” “How about the Postoffice?” “Well, I hung around there wail ing to see the foreman, until a po liceman comes up and says he’d have a letter for me if I didn’t move “Didn’t you try for an office under the local government ?” “Yes—for a dozen. I was intro duced to seven different Aldermen, and it cost me 13.30 for beer, but that’s all it amounted to. I was just half an hour too late with each one of ’em to get an office. I was advis ed to see the Mayor and speak right up to him. He wasn’t in, but his clerk peeled off his coat and told me to take my choice between go ing out of the door or window.” “And are you going home ?” “Going right back home. My boys alius said I was the sharpest man in the county. I’m goin’ to lick ’em in rotashun fur bein’ fools. My wife calls me ‘Judge,’ and is al ius tellin’ everybody that I was born to be great. I shall begin to call her an idiot before I git within a half a mile of the farm.” “You seem broke up.” “I’m clean gone, stranger. I came here lo shear, and I’ve been shorn. I was goin’ to git oflis fur myself, and then pick up half a dozen fur the nayburs, and it will be a sick crowd when we git together in my born and I tell ’em that we are all left Pm afraid—I’m really afraid stranger, that somebody will offer a resolution that the bulwarks of Lib erty are busted and this country gone to Halifax, and that it will be adopted -by a risin’ vota.”—Detroit Free Press. A Close Friend. “Who is that across the street ?” “Oh, that is a very close friend of mine.” “Indeed ?” “Yes. Never lends a cent.” take “Mamma, do angels play on harps ?” “Yes, dear. Now run and your piano lesson.” “In a minute. But, mamma, 1 don’t believe I want to be an an gel” “Why not, child ?” “ ’Cause, somebody would always lie saying: ‘Now run and take up your harp lesson.’” “How old are you, my little roan ?” asked a gentleman of a youngster of three years to whom he was being introduced. “I’m not old at all,” replied the little man; “I am almost pew.” Young housewife: “What misera ble little eggs again. You really must tell them, Jane, to let the beqs sit on them a little longer,” “Good evening, sir,” said a woman whose face looked like a boiled sal mon, with a pick axe nose and a voice that sonnded like a far away echo from the housetops, as she ad dressed a young man w r ho trembled as he viewed her red hair and stern visage. “What I want to see you for, is to ask you if you are an Odd Fel low— that is, do you belong yon der?” and she nodded her head to wards a building from which he had just emerged. He meekly replied, “I do, mad am.” “Well,” said she, “my man says he is one of you and I want you to tell me if he is an inside watchman, and has he been appointed for 300 nights to watch the jewels? And do you have six meetings a week ? And does he have to crawl through some of them in the daytime, and lose a day’s work trying to be a no ble grand,sor past grand bugler, or some such name he tells me of?” The young men said that she must have been misinfor.ned, that there may be something wrong; but she interrupted hint with: ‘There,you needn’t try to play smart. I understand all about this grip business, and silent secrecy and mum pass word, and you can’t fool me! You would not tell me any thing for a farm in Seekonk, would you? I don’t suppose you would tell me when my husband comes home with a hairpin in his boots and a lady’s collar on instead of his own, whether he’d been taking a Rebek- ah degree or been at a surprise par ty! Oh, no! you’re innocent, you are!” The young Odd Fellow ventured to remark that he did not really un derstand the drift of the inquiry. ‘•Oh,no, I see it is no use; you’re all in for each other and sworn to se crecy and you’d say the broken earring I found in his pocket be longed to you, wouldn’t you ? And if I should ask who Araminta is that I caught him talking to him self about, you’d say it was the ‘goat’ you pretended to ride, and if I should ask you about this mutter ing I hear of‘I pass’—‘order it up —‘<et’ entr up and give me another hot one,’and all this sort of thing, I suppose you’d say it was all connec ted with your hifalutin degree and necessary to the order.” The young man meekly replied, as he tried to move away, that he was in a hurry; that perhaps Broth er Buckup would give her all the necessary information; that he could not really understand—but she caught him up before he could finish the sentence with “No, you don’t understand; oh, no! You wouldn’t tell me for a pan of dough nuts what kind of laws you make that says a woman shan’t be daugh ter of Becky, merely because she’s got a wart on her nose. That’s what he tells me, and he says I should have a medical examination, and that the last woman in always has to wash the dishes when they have those stuffing jubilees. Oh. yes, it’s all very fine to leave your poor wife at home on account of a wart or sore heel - , but I’m going to find out this business. I am going to know whether one man can hold all the offices through the year and sit up nine nights in the week and then tell his wife she can’t be a Rebekah and be an inside sentiment or what ever you call ’em, just on account of a little thing like that. I wont trouble you any longer, as possibly you want to pass and ‘sat ’em up’ somewhere, but I’ll watch that chap of mine and if I find there’s too much goat in it I’ll forget that I’m a woman if I don’t make his head look like a double humped bunion and he’ll have to wear my washtub over it for the next three months.” And she slid into the nearest gro cery store and bought a dozen pick les and a stove. Offensive rartisanship. Never. Never make tea in a tin pot. The tannin, which is acid, attacks the tin and produces a poison. Never use water which has stood in a lead pipe over night Not less than a wooden bucketful should be allowed to run. Never use water from a stone reservoir for cooking purposes. Never allow frc-sh meat to remain in paper; it absorbs the juices. Never keep, vinegar or yeast in stone crocks, or jugs; their acid at tacks the glazing, which is said to be jioison.ous. Glass for either is better. All cooking utensils, including iron pots, should lie rinsed after washing and carefully wiped on the inside with a clean, dry cloth. A soapy or greasy dish cloth should never be used for the purpose. Two little girls with their dolls: “Don’t yon find this warm weather very depressive, Mr3. Brown ?” “Oh, yes, Mrs, Smith; my child is so’lus trated by it that I have to feed her on lemonade and Cbarlottee roos ters nil the time.” Little Conger, who rattles around hi a seat in the United States Sc ite, has taken it upon himself vreak a momentous silence and di •lose what policy the Senate will iiRSue with reference to the Presi lent’s nominations. The raising of he mattei of offensive partisan ;hip, he declares, is inevitable when hat body meets, and the questions o be decided will, according to him be something like these: “What has the person removed lone to make him an offensive par tisan ? Has he done more than to ■xercise his rights as an American •itizen? If these questions are an «v'f d bv the statement that lie has acted on theJtepublican Committee and has been largely instrumental in keeping the Republican party in power, then questions will be asked and investigations made concern ing the man who has been appoint ed in his place. Has he acted as Chairman of a Democratic Commit tee, and has he been au offensive partisan on the Democratic side the same as the man removed has been on the RepubFean ? “And if the Senate finds this state of things to exist, what, then, will they do ? “They will probably refuse to con firm. There will be no antagonism except in instances of this kind.” This interpretation of “offensive partianship” illustrates howincapa ble the average machine politician is of appreciating that term as used by the Administration. According to Conger an offensive partisan will be regarded by the Senate as one who has been an ac tive politician before, whatever he may have been while holding of- -ice under the Government. Ac cording to the President, an offen sive partisan is one who has neg lected or abused his Federal office in the interest of his party. A man nut of office is amenable to no criti cism from the Government for be ing an active politician; but it is certainly the Government’s right as well as duty to dispense with the services of an employe who can not keep his politics separated from his office. If this is not the meaning of offensive partisanship as under stood by the President, then it lias no meaning. If a Democrat after his appointment to office conducts that office in such a manner as to make himself liable to charges of offensive partisanship he should he dismissed, as was his Republican predecessor; and the President de clares that this is the policy to which he will strictly adhere. Four Reform Prisons. Mr. Lumpkin, of Dade, introduc ed a bill in the Georgia Legislature providing for four reform prisons for the state convicts. In speaking of his Dill Mr. Lumpkin said: “My object is to correct as far as possible the evil growing out of the convict lease system. My bill does not pur port to interfere with present lease, but only to provide for all convicts hereafter sentenced. In establishing one ot these prisons, as contempla ted by the bill, in southeast, south west,middle and north Georgia, and confining in each prison such num bers as will be easily worked, they can be made self-sustaining. I think the state of Georgia should re ceive something for the hire of the convicts. They can be made selfsustaining, being located in the four divisions of the state. The difference in these prisons and the old penitentiary is the farming feature. I can readily see why a penitentiary under the old system could not be made self- sustaining, hut I claim that under my bill they would not only be self- sustaining, but would be a source of revenue to the state. My bill pro poses that only one of such prisons shall be established at a time. I think several years will have pass ed before it would become necessa ry to erect all of them, and by thus establishing them, the expense would not be so heavy at the ou*- et. I expect it to meet with oppo sition, but I think under this bill the convict system would be great ly improved, and meet the approba tion of the people. The expense would be nominal, only requiring an outlay of twenty thousand dol lars for each prison. This outlay would be small compared to the advantages to he derived from such prisons. I have no complaint to make against the lessees of our con victs, it is the system I object to. Under my bill the state receives the profits instead of the lessees.” Arnall Bros <fc Co.
