Xow, if there ii anythin" that Steve likes, it is a good cigar, and if there is anything that Steve dislikes, it is to pay for one, and in order to appease his appetite for the fra grant Havana, and at the same time not disturb his finances. Steve considers it perfectly consistent with his views of religion (and he has some decided reli gions opinions peculiar to himself) to appropriate any lonesome looking cigar that he chances to discover. Knowing this propensity of his faithful “valet,” Dr. John Crawford, with malice afore thought. deliberately concealed within the folds of one of his most fragrant “twofor’s” a lire cracker, and carelessly laying it down where Stove would he most apt to find it. went off to conceal his emotion and meditate on human de pravity. Steve, in his perambulations, stumbled upon the inviting and innocent looking missive, and at once appointed himself an appropriation committee of one. and proceeded to disc harge the du nes of that committee. After lighting his fortunate find and putting compla cently fora few moments, the cigar pro- oeeded to discharge its duty also. A clear, sharp pistol-like report broke the still- rv*-s of Me early morning air. and a howl :i< it some one was shot came from the recesses of Cri* lord’s laboratory, imme diately followed by jieals of laughter from Crawford, Sledge and little Uradeen, who were breathlessly awaiting the de- iioument of Mr. Crawford s deep laid plot. When the smoke cleared away Steve’s face looked liko a scorched rub ber shoe, and the air of innacence which usually illuminated his countenance had | completely faded away.

The guards stationed at the Louisville and Nashville yards in St. Louis fired' into a crowd of three hundred strikera. Sia man and one woman were shot. Four of the men were killed and the woman supposed to he mortally wounded. The crowd after the firing ran up Itroadway shouting: “To arms, to arms! We will get guns and rctnrn the fire.” Women and children ran ont of their houses and met their, in the street, weep ing and wringing their bands. After the crowd returnod to the scene and the ex citement had abated, several of the lead ing strikers drew their revolvers and swore they would drive all the deputies out of the city, even at the loss of tlicir own lives. The deputies who did the shooting, eight in number, went to the third district police station in this city at three o'clock and surrendered them selves. Thegrcatestexcitement prevail ed in Hast St. I.onis, and the strikers fast armed themselves and seemed determin ed to avenge the death of those of their number so wantonly slain, as they say. The executive committee of the Knights of Labor were on the scene, at tempting to restrain the men and trying to persuade them to meet in Flannigan’s hall, where they desired to advise them against all further violence. The men refused, however, to meet them, elaiming that they would lie surrounded by depu ties and fired upon again. The outbreak at Kast St. Louis to-day seems to have been wholly unpremedi tated. The men had been busy in all the yards, with but slight interferences till noon, and it was thought that the day would pass without any demonstration by the strikers and that it would be re corded as one of the quietest since the strike began. At that hour, however, a number of strikers, without apparently having performed any preconcerted plan, congregated at Relay depot and began the discussion of the general situation. The discussion became animated and the crowd more demonstrative, until some one proposed that they go to the Louis ville and Nashville yards and drive out the men employed there. As they pro ceeded their numbers increased, some of them joining the mob as spectators, while others were in full sympathy with the movement, till from !WA) to 4(0 men were advancing toward the yards. ARMKD WITH WINCHESTER RIFLES. Crowds of men, women and children had congregated on llroadway, where the Louisville and Nashville railway tracks cross the street, and also upon the Broad way railway bridge, which spans Cahakia creek, .lust as this train reached the Broadway crossing the trouble began. The deputies immediately leveled tlieir rifles and tired two xolleysintotne crowd on the bridge, with the result noted above. About half an hour after the shooting- an excited and angry mob gathered on the square between the city hall and the police station. A man named Dwyer • iambic, in no way connected with the strike, became the centre of the crowd, who cheered the incendiary statement* which he uttered. He urged the men to "bang and kill," nnd was in the midst of Birmingham, Ala., April 9-r Down, dowu to hell in two and a qua'ter seconds. I *tn not alto gether in the abode of the Duke o( Sbcol. but am as near as I ever ex pect to be, for this trip has learned me a good lesson. But where am l? Imagine yourself under the earth two and a halftimes the depth of the Presbyterian church steeple, at the bottom ot a black square hole, through which you have just made the decent in the breath-tak ing time of two and a quarter sec onds. Then glance around and see before you nothing but darkness, so intense you could almost cut it with a Unite. Now look down a long dark avenue, and you can see lights flitting to and fro like so many lightning bugs. Take these for a guide, and, as a nearer approach is made, the sound of the air machines and of the hammer and pick re sounds throughout the blackened space, until it dies away in an echo seemingly through the very centre of the earth. You are DOWN IN A COALMINE two hundred and four feet under the ground, in the deepest shaft of the largest coal mine on the civil- zed globe. You are at the cele brated Pratt coal mines, at which the total amount of coal mined daily is twin j*>s bundled tons. Where vou are now is in what is known as the shaft, which is verti cal, and can only be entered by a patent eleva’or from the surface, in this mine are now working four hunured state convicts, and as you approach nearer the light* mention ed, you meet Mr. L. W. Johns, the mining engineer, who greet* you with the exclamation: “You are a long distance from Athens, are you not? Oh, well, you must leel that you are not among strangers.” Then a long, loud laugh resounds throughout the mines at the joke, that probably the black imp who drives the mules with the coal cars to the elevator shaft will join in. MULES UNDERGROUND. “What, mules down here!” Y ou would think so if you would happen to get too near the sleek-lookin object you see befo.e you. Down here is a stable where twenty-one mules sleek and fat live, not one of which has seen the daylight for sev en years Curious, isn’t it! but it is a fact. These animals live better, eat more and are more gentle than the animals on the surface. Mining coal is interesting. The vein before you is eight feet thick in which the picks and drills are being thrust. The coal is hard and requires work and muscle to do it. Each convict has a certain task to flai>-h in a day, which task is regulated by the state board of prison inspectors Thmk of having to work down down here from day untii night without ever seeing daylight. It might he supposed the poor wretches who do it would not stand it, yet it is sel dom the case where a dis charged convict vx.il leave the mines, and a number of the miners are paid laborers. “What is this rat doing here. Mr. Johns? is ask ed. He replies that they arc rats and the pets ot the miners. Etch miner has a pet rat, with which he meal. There are .iSCIUESTS OF THE FLOOD LABOR’S GBASP OX 5EW EXGLASl). W the NEGRO A FAILURE? Monday a party of Macon bo-ts- men went five mites down the r '" '’ to.recover an organ that the l * ] ,K washed out o' a house in I- ,s * - 1 con. They found it in Dead »•**♦, at the same time picking up a c.ock that had also been washed away On their way back to the cjy they discovered an ancient rel'.c ju>t be low thesite of the old Genigii road bridge. It was the hud ot t steamboat. It lay near the hoik, the bottom partly turned up. It »a‘ about sixty teet long. Itwassup- oo-cd that it was all that re-uaineu ot the Goddard, a steamboat sunk more than 45 years ago. A most remarkable escape from drowning was that of M'.s L iz.i Moate, of Sparta, on Monday. The lactory branch is usually a little, thread-like stream where il ctosse* the public road, but Monday’s 1 had swollen it to an angry tonent when the young lady attempted 10 cross it on a foot log, which wa under water. Whether the foot 1 >g was floating, or the swiftness of the stream made her footing unsteady is not known. In any event, she tell in and was washed down stream, through a fence and under a hrtdge. a distance of more than 100yuid-. She was finally rescued. Henry Hoover, a white mail liv ing neat the Oconee rive^, near Ir- winton, took a boat last 1’hu'sd.iy, presumably lor the purpose of get ting out of the swamp an ox that had been caught there by the rising ot the water. Before leaving home he stated that he expected to drown himself. Failing to return, a search was instituted and the boat was found Sunday. It contained IIo.i- ver’s coat and other articles. The ox had been roped and tied to the boat, and when found was dead, having been drowned. A hundred men or more dragged the river for Hoover’s body, which was found a few yards from the boat.

A Western Congressman Who Ha* Won 540,000 This Session. “There is a man,” said a well- known congressional attache, pointing to a Western member, •‘who has won $40,000 at poker since the session began. It he keeps on in good luck ne will have over $100,000 before the session ends, and when he goes home his constituents will say he has hern bribed.

I was present at a game in a Senator’s Louse one mgl.t and saw him win $6000 on •me hand. It was the dead man’s hand. What is the dead man’s hand? Why, it is three jacks and a pair of lens. It is called ibe dead man’s hand because about forty years ago, in a town in Illinois, a celebrated judge bet his house and lot on three jacks and a pairoftens. It was the last piece of property he had in the woild. When his oppo nent showed up he had three queens and pair of tens.

But labor xx iil not loosen it« grip and the city is being deseited iiy all who can leavt it. In Wilmington; Del., a decisive tic.itmnit of a boycott is described. The News, of that city, had a luss wi'h the union printers eight months ago and discharged them. The union demanded a few days ago that the non-union men be dis- chatged. The News refused to dis charge the men who had come to it when it needed men, or to take back the men who had deserted it.

AN IRON SPRING. On Mr. B. F. O’Kelly's place, just out side of the corporate limits, is a spring which is more strongly impregnated with iron than any in many miles around. One gentleman who has traveled over the United Slates says that during all his tours ho ha« never seen one to equal it. As the expression is among miners. “Iron is the mother of gold,” wc would not be surprised to hear of Mr. England pros pecting and finding sn immense gold mine there. The gold fever is catching, and almost on every branch around Athens you can see parties with pans trying to get a hold on the veins that produce the precious metal. "Z MADISON ELECTION. The election for mayor and aldermen, yesterdaj, was comniendably quiet and free from unpleasantness. Very little interest was taken in the vote by either ticket Mr. J. W. Bearden was elected mayor over Mr. L. T. Penick. It ii but fair to state that Mr. Pen- ick’s candidacy was hampered by aerer- eral rumors regarding his line of policy that did injustice to his own views. He is ene of the best men in the county, and waa backed by a strong board of aider- men. Below is the rosnlt in detail: . Tor mayor—J. W. Bearden, 160; L. T. Penick, 36. Bearden’* majority, 154. •h Bor Aldermen—L. H. Foetor, 150; 8. W. Boothe, 165; Jj. Burnett, 1*4; Ijtld. Haynes, a member of the general execu tivc committee of the Knights of Labor M. O’Neill ami Knight of Labor Brown arrived from this side. Brown, who travels with the general hoard in the capacity of Knights of La bor orator and lecturer, mounted the stairs that led to the police station nnd \ »*lled at the mob for attention. Then has | turning to the mob, which kept up the cry to ’’kill and burn,” Brown began an impassioned appeal for quiet, law and order, and by sheer force of his earnest ness, rivited the attention of the crowd. At this point Dwyer broke in: “Yes, why don’t you talk for Jay Gould and be done with it. They shot down our men and you ask us to be quiet. I say hang them!” Brown pointed his finger at Dwyer and asked him, “Are you a Knight of Labor?” Dwyer dodged the question and yelled: “Kill the brutes! “Are you a Knight of .Labor, I ask?” said Brown. “No,” answered Dwyer, “but I’m with them on everything, you can bet!’ “I knew that you were not a Knight,” said Brown, and continuing he said: “1 know that no Knight would talk as you do.” After a while the temper of the mob cooled down, and they dispersed with threats to avenge the deaths caused by the deputies. Mayor Joyce said that he had notified the Governor two weeks ago, but that he had done nothing, and that he, the Mayor, was utterly power less. A few of the more violent of the strik ers who gathered at the city ball, after arming themselves, announced their in tention of attacking the deputies on guard at the Ohio and Mississippi yards, and advanced in that direction. The warehouse was surrounded by an im mense crowd who nowt.KD AND YELLED and urged one another to attack the stronghold and drive the deputies out. The situation in Kast St. Louts, so ft r as can be learned at midnight, has been pretty quiet. Still later a good deal of excitement was caused by the discovery of fire in a car loaded with hay in the Louisville and Nashville yards, but no damage was done beyond the burning of the car. About 11 o'clock fire broke out in the Cairo Short Line yard at the lower end of the island, and meagre re ports from there at midnight say three or four cars were burned, but no other damage done. MILITIA ORDERED OCT. Governor Oglesby, of Illinois, at half past five o’clock this afternoon, ordered out eight companies of militia. Some of them arrived in Kast St. Louis to-night.

She is describ ed as a petite brunette, quiet and retiring in disposition, good-look ing, and the wife of a locomotive engineer on the Iron Mountain. Her husband, S J. Dufl’y, hid been guarding the company’s property at the round house, and a short time before the excitement had arrived at home and was asleep. Before retiring he had placed his revolver on the dressing case, and as Mrs. Dufly went to meet the mob abe saw it and carried it with her to the door. The pursued man was breathless with fear and exer tion as he rubbed past her into the house. He hurriedly and briefly told the story, and the lady was quick to understand and prompt in her action. .Her appearance, re volver in hand, had an electrical effect on the crowd. “Stop where you are!’’ she cried, raising her weapon. “I will kill the first one who attempts to enter this house.” The mob astonished and awed, was virtually conquered. “We want that scab,” said a ven turesome leader. “If you mean Mr. Tod, you can not touch him. He belongs in my house and 1 will not permit you to enter it." There was no evidence of brava do in her manner.

They have attracted much atten tion, and a considerable amount nf peculation has been indulged in concerning them. As to their origin, our informa- ion is purely negative. We know hat we did not build them, and the raditions handed down to us bv the Indians inform us that they did tot build them. Further than this «e know comparatively little about them. These mounds are lecated on the torth side of the Etowah river, in Bartow county, being three in num iter. The largest ntound is some sixty-five teet high and, measures around its base some eleven hun- Ired feet. The others are much smaller—not more than one-fifth as large as the largest. Many curious relics have been gathered from and around them tor many years past. Among them are images of several kinds, sup posed to be idols before which the makers bowed down and rendered rites. Pipes of various kinds, carved from stone and made of day; vari ous specimenr of pottery, and many other curious things. These images are rather remarkable pieces of statuary, showing considerable skill in carving stone. The pipes used there are much on the same pattern as the modern smoker uses. The thin pottery shows much skill and evidences some knowledge of dyes. The writer has seen a piece of some vessel which appeared finely glazed and was of fine red color on the surface, much different from the body of the material. The recent overflow of the Eto wah river has brought to light much more than ever before. Among other things scattered upon the ground about the mounds are quantities ot human bones, and in one place xvas exposed a vault Irom which the eyeless sockets of a grinnisg, ghastly skeleton looked forth upon the xvorld of two centu ries of rext. Something has been said of the marvellous size of a skull and jaw hone that were found; this, we think, is not so marvellous, as the imagination of the man who would create a fourteen footer from the remains of a man xvho was not far from six leet. We saw also something that re sembled a marble and doubtless the younger of the people played "Knuckledown” and “Vent you any.” There xvere also discs vary ing in size Irom a dime to a dollar though somewhat thicker. These are scattered all over the ground. A friend of ours from Atlanta who viewing the mound and sightsjinno- cently suggested, that the boys were indulging in a game of short cards and xx hen run in by the police scattered them far and wide in their effort to evade the vigilant officers. In one of the vaults was found a small piece of matting m?de ol cane and exactly similar to a close ly woven chair bottom.

A MICE IN A BOX: Jumbo's Oil Ormasataa About to Start for America, London, March 30.—Baruum's new elephant, Alica, ine consort of the late Jumb->, was fettered at the - Zoo” to-day, preparatory to ship ping her to.

She was in an obstinate and vicious mood and a large force ot workmen were oc cupied several hours to moving her a hundred yards although she had been kept several davs without food in order to weaken her physically and jrender her submissive. Du ring the process of moving her she offered such powerful and danger ous resistance that it was resolved to immerse her in a pond close by when it should be reached. Her keepers and their assistants managed to get her into the water and partly submerged, but the huge beast drove them off by filling her trunk with water and squirting it upon them until they were nearly drowned and waded back to terra firms. She was finally confined in the massive box in which she will make the journey to New York, but before she could be secured she had smashed several of the heavy timbers forming the framework and -neatly, demolished the front end of the structute in her furious efforts to escape. She was vigorously prodded about the head with a dozen or more sharp-pointed pikes and ulti mate!/ became moderately tracta ble.

The discovery of a gigantic sea turtle found near Fort Wallace, in Western Kansas, first observed the large ebony shields projecring from a blurt neat Butte creek. They xvere carefully takin out and brought to Philadelphia, where the restoration was made. The fore flippers alone were nearly five feet long, while its expanse fiom the lip of one extended flipper to another was about seventeen feet. The question may arise. How did the sea turtle become buried in a bluff in the State of Kansas? A natural supposition would be that Kansas is the bed of a former ocean, and so it is. Ages ago, in what is called by geologists the Cretaceous Period, that part of the world was the bed ol a great sea, in which the great turtle swam, together with other monsters of curious shape and ap pearance. Gradually the crust of the earth was raised, the water fell back or became inclosed, and left the inhabitants of the Cretaceous Sea high and dry, to be covered by the earth and preserved for 11s to studx' ages afterward. The shores of this ancient ocean are easily found and followed by geologists. Its extent has been traced on our Western plains by the bleaching and disintegrating remains that have been lound upon and beneath the surface.—Charles Prederick Holder, in St. Nicholas.

One sometimes secs a drunken man pitched violently from a horse, and when by the bystanders rush to find him dead, they are aston ished to discover that he has been little injured. In his ^Scrambles Among the High Alps,” Leslie Stephen tells the story of a guide who, while drunk, fell over a prec ipice so deep that a fall over it seemed almost certain death, and who yet sustained little injury. Stephen accordingly gives his read ers the advice either not to fall over a precipice or to get thoroughly drunk before doing so. The reason of this immunity is that the nerve centers are so much paralyzed in the drunken man as not to be artected by the shock of tha fall, which, in a sober man, would have acted upon them so vi olently as to atop the heart, arrest the circulation, and cause instant death.
