A STREET CAR BLOCK.
ONE OF THE EXPERIENCES OF
LIFE IN NEW YORK CITY.
What; a Waiting Pwwcnger Saw from the
Car Wimlow —The Imperturbable Man
with the Turkey —A Hard Working,
CheerleKH World —Moving On.
The car has stuck in Greenwich street.
Wo are aground The indications are not
favorable for soon getting off The driver
gets off the platform to look ahead. So
does the conductor When these worthies
leave their posts l>e sure you are to re
main in statu quo for some time. We
take an observation. The track is blocked
for a quarter of a mile ahead. The drivers
immediately ahead are off their perches
also. Another bad sign. We commend
our souls to patience The more uneasy
passengers gaze through the front car
door window. There are ten of us. A
woman and a child, a countryman, a stout
man with a turkey tied in a paper bag. a
girl n:id a stout Irishman. The rest are
simply of tho human species, with nothing
particular to recommend them.
The driver mounts the platform. The
car moves. We are off. The block is
over. Hope rises. The car moves six
inches And stops dismally. .Ilopb fails.
Wo move r.o more. Curts, wagons and
carriages rattle, roar and ruckle over the
stones on either side of us, one lino up,
the other line down. By us are passing
the manufactures of New York, the pro
duce of the country and the product of
other lands Down a load of sewing
machines incased in wooden frames. Up
a load of coal. Down a load of new fur
nituro cased in bagging. Up a load of
apples. Down a load of flour. Ahead of
us in the block a wagon piled high with
dry goods boxes. Up a load of long oars.
Down, potatoes. Up, turnips. Then a
load of beef quarters. Up a piano.
Li ORE REVIVES.
The woman with tho child looks at her
watch. She fears losing boat or train.
Tho man with the turkey is of all the
most resigned. His face is vacancy.
Time to him seems of no object. He is
framed to v/ait. A policeman bobs hither
and yon. growling, cursing, ordering.
But the block is immovable.
Ah! We move. We are off. Hope re
vives We fear it is too good to be true.
It is. We have moved half a block. The
block resumes Drivers going up and
down bandy words with our driver. Peo
ple stop on the curb and gaze stupidly at
us. We get even and gaze stupidly at
them. Then we read all the advertise
ments in the car. A load of iron bangs
and clangs past. Then a load of hay.
Then one of cotton. The woman and the
child get out. The man with the turkey
is immovable. Is be, like the rest of us,
consumed with anxiety and impatience,
or has lie the power of projecting his
mind into some region of thought tliat lie
can forget this irksome flelay? We count
four dry goods boxes on the wagon ahead,
on them a red seat and on that a blanket.
The conductor's overcoat has but three
buttons upon it. It should have four. It
is a very ragged coat- The pocket3 are
sagged down.
There is an endless shouting outside
and cries of “Get up! Get up I” The stout
Irishman can wait no longer. Ke leaves
us. Farewell! We shall never meet
again. The man with the turkey gazes on
and on into futurity,
j. MOVING ON.
Again we move. Wo get ahead a whole
block. The scene changes. It is refresh
ing even tp see anew set of dingy store
fronts and signs. And ho end of carts.
Going and coming, rattling and rumbling,
bringing things from the north and send
ing them south, bringing things from the
south and sending them north, all driven
by these hard, grimy men, who seem to
have no other thought in the world save
to get somewhere with a load and get
back again. A hard working, grimy,
cheerless world it is all about here.
Again we move. We are not encour
aged. We have now too often been dis
appointed. But we keep ou moving.
Boast not thyself, it is but momentary.
But we keep on moving. No matter.
Wo shall stop —there. We move slower.
We feel the car stopping. But it does
not stop. But we shall stop. But we do
not stop. An atom of hope kindles in our
dejected souls. We try to keep it down,
to smother it. It will not stay smothered.
We are still moving. We have so long
been in a stationary, helpless state that
we have ceased to regard the car as cap
able of motion. Yet wo do move. The
driver’s back looks as if he Intended to
drive farther yet. Even the driver’s
back assiimes a sort of go it expression
when he sees no obstacle ahead and his
hand is off that discouraging brake. We
have actually moved four blocks without
a stop. Tho man with the turkey Is as
vacant as ever. It matters little to him.
We keep on moving. The block is over.
Only half an hour’s delay.—Prentice Mill
ford iu New York Star.
Studying Their (hrn City.
The time lias gone by when a Parisian
was ashamed to carry a “Baedeker” under
his arm, and to explore the wonders of
the Louvre, the Luxembourg, the Gobelins
or the Musee-Carna valet. M. Charles
Gamier arid the society of Amis des Monu
ments Parisiens, which he founded about
two years age, have changed all that.
Before M. Gamier and the ladies and
gentlemen with him took to periodical
wandering all over medieval and artistic
parts of Paris there were thousands of
old inhabitants who had never seen the in
side of many of the metropolitan monu
ments and places of historic interest in
their lives. They have visited the En
gardine or the Tyrol for scenery, cursorily
inspected the frescoes and paintings of
the Pitti or the Vatican to improve their
taste, but they would not be seen for
worlds lounging about the corridors of the
Louvre or penetrating the artistic or ar
cadian recesses of Versailles.
At the present time, owing to the
fashion that has been set by the “Amis
des Monuments,” it is no uncommon
thing to see a genuine Parisian wrapped
in contemplation of “La Bello Jardiniere”
at the Louvre, or wandering enthusias
tically, like a foreign dilettante, through
the hall of mirrors at Versailles. As to
the environs of Paris, such as Marly,
Montmorency or St. Germain, they are
rendered more fashionable than ever by
the patronage of the opulent people who
drive thitherward in mail coaches every
afternoon for dinner. —Paris Cor. London
Telegraph.
Poisonous Win© Bottles.
A French chemist reports that wine is
affected differently by bottles of different
manufacture. Some bottles improve
while others injure it. An undue admix
ture of lime and magnesia, which are
often substituted for soda and potash
in glass on account of their cheapness,
acts injuriously upon the wine.—Chicago
Herald. ,
DOWN IN A COAL MINE.
WANDERING THROUGH PASSAGES
UNDERGROUND.
Deacent in the Passenger Shaft —Gloomy
Passages and Narrow Tunnels —Mules as
a Motive Power —The Miner ami His
Drill—The Blast.
The entrance to nearly all mines disap
points preconceived notions. One cannot
say exactly what he expected, but he cer
tainly expected something different from
the reality Here, for instance, there was
n<> indication of the existence of the mine
save in the presence of tho breakers and
the huge pile of culm. At a short dis
tance from the breaker was a little shed
about ten feet square, and yawning in this
was tho mouth of the passenger shaft.
The shaft, rip which are hoisted the
the cars loaded with coal, opens directly
into the breaker.
As wo gathered about the passenger
shaft tho cai* was hoisted several times,
bringing up a number of miners and
laborers, and all looked like imps from
th > infernal regions. Their bodies and
clothing were black as jet from smoko
and coal dust, and the only white ono
could see about them was tho whites of
their eyes In their caps wero extin
guished* torches, which still gave out a
black and sullen smoke. Men we found
them, talking freely of their lives and
rather enjoying the curiosity they in
spired. Their appearance, and tho mouth
of that black shaft leading down a sheer
800 feet into the bowels of the earth, led
some of tho party to conclude that they
would enjoy a bird’s eye view of Provi
dence on tlio surface rather than tempt
Providence under ground. So less than
forty made the descent.
Each of us was given a little torch, and
then we gathered about the shaft, The
elevator is simply a platform like a
freight elevator, with no railing at either
side. Above it is a bood tQ keep off tho
water constantly dripping down tho
shaft from tho seams in the rock. Ten
at a time we crowded upon the elevator,
the torches flaring up around us and lilt
ing our lungs with smoke. The signal
was given, and every heart sank a little
as the car rushed swiftly down.
Perhaps I reveal a woeful ignorance
when I say that I expected to see as soon
as I stepped from tho car a vast rugged
chamber, glittering with distant lights
and alive with eager workers. I had read
descriptions cf mines and seen pictures of
them, and yet this delusion clings to me.
But in one instant vanished all these
chimeras, and I beheld a narrow tunnel,
so low that I involuntarily stooped my
head, whether such a proceeding were
necessary or not, and darker than mid
night. On either side were walls of coal,
glittering strangely as tho rays of light
fell upon them, and hewn into all sorts of
irregular shapes and narrow recesses.
But the roof or ceiling seemed as smooth
and polished as marble. The vein of coal
runs of almost uniform thickness, and
the slate above and below forms a com
paratively level floor and roof.
Along this narrow passage we wand
ered, the light from our flickering lamps
making the darkness ahead the more im
penetrable. At short intervals were cham
bers where the coal had been mined more
extensively, but between all chambers
pillars at least thirty feet in thickness
were left to support the tremendous
weight of the superincumbent rock. And
in the chambers themselves were juists
and beams of wood erected for the same
purpose. • One douid scarcely realize that
all these passageways and chambers were
carefully laid out by engineers and sur
veyors, and that plans were drawn, mark
ing all the turns and divergences as accu
rately as the map pf a city.
But such was the case, and not a blow
of the pickax is struck that is not fore
seen, and so two passageways approach
each other from opposite directions, and
are finally united in one. At intervals
are heavy, air tight doors of wood, which
serve the purpose of breaking the cur
rents of air, give a perfect circulation, and
allow the steam fans to exhaust the tire
damp that may have accumulated in any
chamber, no matter bow far distant. As
these were closed behind us they gave a
crash like thunder, every sound being
magnified by the rocky walls. Finally,
when we haa gone hundreds of feet from
the shaft, w r e began to sec dim and
twinkling lights in the distance, and to
hear echoing cries, tho crash of loaded
curs rolling along the rail, and the clang
of steel on the sullen rocks Mules turn-
ish the only motive power, and it
is because of their well known uuborn
ness that they needed such vockerous di
rection that for minutes we would hear
shouts and cries that were echoed until
they seemed to come from a hundred
lungs. Then we would range ourselves
close along the wails and up Nvould rum
ble and clatter and clash a loaded car,
drawn by several straining mules and
driven (or rather directed, for no reins
were used), by a boy as black us the coal
itself, his eyes glittering strangely in the
light from tho smoking lamp stuck in Ids
hat band.
And finally we reached the miners them
selves. for all the men wo had previously
seen were merely the laborers. Eacn
miner had a chamber to himself, and into
the walls he was viciously digging his
drill. Of course his eyes get accustomed
to the semi gloom, but to us it seemed as
if he must work solely by the sense of
feeling. The miner we surrounded told
us that ho was almost ready for a blast.
Whilo we waited a car rolled noisily up to
a pile of broken coal, and a black and
grimy laborer caught up a shovel and
sent "the lumps thundering into the car.
Before it was filled the miner told us that
his charge was ready and bade us go
aronnd tho nearest corner. Fifty feet
away we were halted, and then came an
anxious pause, each one agitated some
what, if the truth must be told The?',
came a loud and reverberating rear, fol
lowed by tho crash of tumbling rock.
earth shook beneath our feet, and from
the slate roof, a foot above our heads,
splinters of rock seemed to fall around
us. Perhaps no one really expected the
roof to fall and crush us. but tnero was &
sigh of relief when the blast was ever.
Wo hurried back to the chamber with tho
smell of powder in our nostrils A
jagged hole was pierced in the coal, and
as v.o iooked through the smoke and dust,
a blackened and demoniac face appeared
at us from its depths. The blast had
opened a passage directly through into
the adjoining chamber, aud the face was
that of the good natured miner on tho
other side. The coal that the blast had
loosened lav heaped in confusion by tho
opening feo shattered had it been by the
explosion that it could easily be broken
by a pickaxe into size convenient for
handling. Nothing then remained but
for tho laborer to shovel it all. largo and
small lumps and even the dust, into a cur.
that was hoisted into the breaker. —“F.

Loi; Cabin Success.
What ails the young men?
Robert Garrett's father left him a for
tune of twenty millions. He was Irom
childhood reared in luxury; he received a
splendid education with an especial train
ing into a thorough knowledge ol rail
road management and was exfieeted to
succeed his father as a railroad king.
Within three years after the responsi
bilities which his father’s death threw
upon him were assumed, he is reported a
broken down man, with mind and health
permanently shattered.
George Law is another young man
left with millions of money, who is re
ported among the “wrecks.” His father,
bred a stone mason, was of gigantic size
and strength, with commensurate brain
power, so he became a great contractor,
then a railroad king, and left half a
dozen millions for his son to dissipate.
The young man is a success as a dissi
pator.
The founders of both of these great es
tates were born in tlie most humble
waiKs of life, grew strong, mentally ami
physically, by simple living and honest
labor and developed into financial giants.
Their sons were reared in the lap of lux
ury and developed into intellectual pig
mies.
The great men of our country have
not, as a rule, come from the elegant
mansions of the cities, but from the Log
Cabins of the rural districts. Simple
ways of living, freedom from dissipation
and enervating pleasures, simple reme
dies f or disease, effective and which leave
no poison in the system, develop brawny,
brainy men, who compel the world to
recognize their strength and power.
The wholesome, old-fashioned Log
Cabin remedies are the safest and surest
for family use. Our grandmothers knew
how to prepare the teas and syrups of
roots, herbs and balsams which drive
disease out of tho system by natural
methods and leave no after ill effects.
The most potent of these old-time reine
dies were, after long and searching inves
tigation, secured by 11. H. Warner, of
safe cure fame, and are now put out for
the “healing of the nations” in the War
ner’s Log Cabin remedies.
Regulate the regulator with Warner's
Log Cabin "Sarsaparilla and with pure
blood giving health, strength, mental
and bodily vigor, you may hope to cope
successfully with the most gigantic finan
cial problems of the age, without wreck
ing health and manhood.
Mrs, Thurman at Home.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
She is of about medium height and
build. Her face is unusually handsome
for a woman of her years, and what im
prints time has left are pleasant ones.
Her eyes are blu,e, bright and expressive;
her mouth is small with very agreeable
lines. She wore a black cashmere gown,
plainly made, with basque, skirt and
overskirt. A brooch, round in design,
fastened the collar about her neck and
plain white and black cuffs finished the
sleeves. On the third finger of the left
hand Mrs. Thurman wore three plain,
narrow gold rings. Her hair is one of
her greatest charms, and I believe al
ways was. In her younger days it was
a reddish brown. It is now the whitest
silver white, with not one dark thread in
it. It looks very soft, is arranged in two
little curls that fall artistically over the
ears and are held there by black combs.
The back hair is twisted and coiled high
on the head. The style is most pictur
esque and very becoming to 'Mrs. Thur
man. She has an easy, unassuming
manner and talks freely.
