A Cave-In at tho Grady Mines of the Alabama .lb Georgia Iron Co, Kills a White Man and Injures Two Negroes. Bast Friday morning at the Grady mines of the Alabama it Georgia Iron Company, a serious.accident occurred resulting in the instant death of a white man nnd the injury of two negro laborers. The hands had just gone to work nt (1 o’clock, and Mr. J. W. Darnell had charge of a squad of ten hnnds in one cut. The bank was only about twelve feet high, but a stob lmd been driven down at the top the day before, nnd tlie heavy rains had aided the work of loosening the embankment. Darnell ordered one of the hands to pick the bank, which the. latter refused to do, and on being warned by his own son not to go near the bank, Darnell struck the bank four times with a pick. This brought down several tons of ore and dirt, the slide striking Dar nell such a blow that he was knocked down. His head struck a erosstie, breaking the skull and instantly kill ing him. The falling mass also hit two negroes in the cut, one of whom was hurt rnther severely. Dr. C. Vann Wood, the company’s surgeon, was phoned and left Cedartown immedi ately for the scene of the accident. The iron company had Just pre viously issued stringent orders to its employees forbidding them to go near or work at places bf danger where falling ores or sliding banks could in jure anyone. The man who was killed was warned by ills own son to keep away from this bank, but his own in discretion proved Ids doom. Tlie company, while in no way re sponsible for tile sad catastrophe, did everything possible for the unfor tunate family of tlie dead man in look ing nfter his burial and other matters of expense.

He is the spring of the claque. Tho men under Ills orders, scattered here and there under the chandelier, are merely parts of the machinery, and they would no more think of applaud ing on their own account than they would think of flying. Once upon a time there was a daring claqueur who did not wait for tho sig nal, but bis short connection with the profession—he i.us Immediately reliev ed of his fauteull for breach of disci pline—hardly entitles him to tho honor of mention in tho same company with eminent claqueurs. Tlie part ho ap plauded happened to be the only good scene in the whole play. His sense of art, unfortunately, wns stronger, than his Idea of duty. Seized with uncon trollable enthusiasm, he, the only man of taste among the claque, made the house ring with applause. Ho Is now one of the most eminent dramatic crit ics In Paris.—Wide Wide World.

Each seal Is engraved during the reign of the sovereign whose name It bears, and the collection presents a curious and accurate epitome of English his tory. All lord chancellors have taken tlie greatest care of the seals in their charge and have contrived recesses and elaborate devices for their safe custody. One of them in tlie reign of Charles II actually slept with the seal under his pillow and by tills loving pre caution saved It from thieves who one night broke Into his house and carried off tlie mnee belonging to the house of lords and other valuable property.— Chambers’ Journal.

Every woman loves to think of tho time when a soft little body, all her own, will nestle In her bosom, fully satisfying the yearning which lies in the heart of every good woman. But yet there Is a black cloud hovering about the pretty picture In her mind which fills her with terror. The dread of childbirth takes away much of tho Joy of motherhood. And yet It need not be so. For sometime there has been upon the market, well-known and recommended by physicians, a liniment called MMer’s Friend which makes childbirth as simple and easy as nature intended it. It is a strengthening, penetrating liniment, which the skin readily absorbs. It gives the muscles elasticity and vigor, prevents sore breasts, morning sick ness and the loss of the girlish figure.
