I have had an impression, however, in common. probably, with most other citizens, that they would prove the sources of danger under certain cireumstances, when introduced into pri- vate dwellings or public buildings; but I do not know that, so far as cither such concerned, the protection may not be made com- | It has seemed quite certain, however, that flremen would be particularly exposed, in asmuch as they would be compelled more or le handle the wires in the dark when their | + wet, and when, the wires bein Thandiing of | e opposite ties of the broken wire they might complete in thelr persons the circuit and thus receive the full force of the electriccurrent. it will not do to say in reply to this that a cau- tious and intelligent freman could avoid these risks.

The parties were well dressed and intelligent. and greeted the appearauce ors with an invitation to take a pipe. one of the men was engaged in burning the drag eon ua eee of steel. The operation was kept up for a few minutes, after which it was inserted in a long black pipe, made especially for opium smoking. The steel or pin upon which it was prepared was then with- drawn, leaving the drug in the pipe. The stem was thea placed in a victim's mouth and the pipe lighted. A subdued hissing noise then ensued. during which the pupils of the smoker's eyes ex- | panded and his face assumed an expression of ecstatic bliss. After a few seconds the pipe was withdrawn from the mouth, and the smoker expelled from m1 smoke and then tell back on a pillow in an ec- static frenzy. The opium was again prepared and placed fn the pipe. and handed to a woman who reclined next to him who had just smoked. She was evidently an old.timer, for she handled the pipe and smoked it in the most expert man- | ner. Thus it went around on each inattress, each smoker taking nis pipe in turn. In another house was found a young man, seemingly well bred. and very finely dressed. His legs were crossed Oriental fashion, and he had his pipe In his hand as he looked up lazily and then turned to the light when his pipe had been refilled by the white man who did the work quickiy and handed it back to the imitator of De Quincey, who proceeded to inhale the smoke aud expel it slowly from his mouth and nostrils. Then he dropped his pipe and fell back upon the bed, rolled over on his side, threw his hands out the bed and closed his eyes, to wander in ms among happy scenes. “Yes,” said the white man, “we have lotslike im come hi ‘ou bet your life.

But few persons, as they see one of the fast express trains flit by, are aware of the value of such atrain. What is known as the “Royal” limited express over the Pennsylvania road, as the train is ordinarily made up, represents over $120,000, as follows: Engine, 212,000; baggage car, $1,200; smoking car, $5,000; dining-room car, $12.00: flve elegant Pullman While this may seem to be an . the ordinary express trains repre- 83,000 to $85,000." The engine and tender, which are considered together, valued at 2 the bageage car, $1,000; the postal car, $2,000; the smoking car, $5,000; the two ordi- , $10.00 each, and three 000 each—total, $85,000. ~ This is alow rather than an excessive estimate of one of the f The palace cars put down at $15,000, are in many cases worth $18,000, and some Pullman cars are now run which cost in the neighborhood of $30,000. It is stated that the average value of a freight train is still greater than a passenger train, when the rolling stock and value of property carried are included. Sometimes the freight on oue of these through trains aggrezates in value #4),000 to $300,000, and whatis a little singu- Jar Is the fact that the trains moving westward ate more valuable than those moving eastward —a large per cent of the west-bound business is audise of vituable machinery, while nearly 7 per cent of the east-bound business is grain, which ts carried in scar costing $450, and the property carried will average #400 per car, so that the entire train of 25 cars, engine included, are not worth over £34,000 to $35,000, while frequently one car load of merchandisé coming west will represent that value, and these palaces on witeels carrying thousands of passengers and the thousands of freight carscarry- ing millions of valuable property are dependent for safety upon one man—the engineer.

The terrible break down in te Idaho mine's incline last Saturday morning, that caused the death cf Thomas Williams and the serious in- jury of Richard Carter, Frank Johns and Richard Johns, called forth acts of courage and daring heroism on the part of their fellow- workmen that have rarely been equalled even by men who risked their lives for glory and re- nown. These were simply deeds of self-sacri- ficing devotion without a thought of praise that men would have for them; they thought only of their friends being in danger. The cave occurred about 640 feet from the bottom of the incline shaft. Fortunately there were no | men in that incline atthe time. If the cave | had cecurred an hour earlier, when the men | were going to work, there might have been a | dozen killed, for as the mass went down it in creased in volume and velocity, carrying every- | thing before it. Some parties who were at the stations of tae levels as the mass went by say that it left a blaze of fire, cause by the friction of the rocks, aud was terrible to see when they kuew it Was rushing down on four helpless men. | William Magor deserves particular mention. | He was in tie 1,300 level and was informed that the cave had occurred and the mass had gone down upon the shaftmen, He hurried out to the 1,300 station, and, without stopping to con- sider the very great danger he was,in, made his way down the shaft, although the dirt and rock had not stopped falling. When he got near enough to call to the men below, Frank | Jolihs, who was severely wounded and fastened down in the debris, answered | Magor, and told him that he (Magor) had better | get out and save himself, as by staying there he | would surely be killed. To this Magor replied: | er mind me; we will have you all out or we | will die together.” Soon Magor was joined by | Richard Eva and Jerry Angove, and soon all t miners came to lend Willing hands to save th fellow-iminers. Then came the long and ap ently insurmountable task of getting the and wounded out oft that awfully dangerous place. These hurt men had to be pulled and carried up to the 1,800 level, and no one knew | at what moment another caye would come and sweep them all to the bottom. After they were ught up to the 1,300 level they had to be arried up to the 1,200 level, and then up the backs to the 1,100 level, and througii the backs azain to the 1,000 level, aud to the cage shaft. It hardly looks possible that men so badly hurt as these could be gotten through such places as | they were. | == ———— WALTZING WICKED. A Dancing Master and Some Clergy- | men Combine to Put It Down. From the Philadeiphia Press, Prof. James P. Welsh, dancing master, is about to begin a crusade against the waltz as at present danced, which he pronounced to be iin- modest,vulgar, and generally demoralizing. “I have been a dancing master for the past ten years,” he says, “and haye made it a practice throughout that period to observe carefully all the changes in the public taste, and to note the changes for better or worse in my profession. Thave watched closely and thought deeply on the subject, and now I have no hesitation in saying that the waltz, under whatsoever name it may go for the time being, is immoral. It is the only dance that decent people protest against, and Iam happy to say thatethere still remain nuinbers of careful fatiiers who will not COD LIVER OIL. How they Make and How Adulte- rate It. . From the Cape Cod Correspondence N.Y. Evening Post. Long before these lectures wero delivered, however, Capt. Atwoud had exchanged the toul- some life of a fisherman for & more congenial and lucrative occupation on shore. "Sailing into Boston one morning in 1849, with a cargo of fresh cod, he found that cod iiyers had advanced in price from twenty cents a bucket to thirty- seven and a half, and, inquiring into the cause, found that cod-liver ofl before used only by cur- riers, was fast coming into use as a’ remedy for pulmonary complaints. This he thought was a business suited his capacity, and he asked the manufacturer—a druggist named Southmayd— how he prepared the oil. The latter told him that intricatechemical processes were employed. but on his applying to his learned friends to know what these might be, they assured him | that care and cleanliness were the chief essen- tials, and advised him to embark in the business. His first venture was in a small vessel to the coast of Labrador from which he returned with 300 gallons of oil. figure to Joseph Burnett. who agreed to take all he couid make. After this Capt. Atwood sailed no more in quest of livers, but established him- self at Provincetown, and had them brought to him. His oil was taken as fast as made, at first at the large wholesale dealers in Boston, but of late it has becoine so well known that it is taken entirely by consumers. Calling on him one day, I found him in his shop filling some bottles to be sent away, and gained some insight into the business. “There is no product more frequently adul- terated than cod liver oll,” he began as the last bottle was put away. ‘Rogues can mix it with oil from the livers of most any fish and escape detection. Oilofthe dog fish is chiefly used, however. Then it is often improperly made. Here are thirty kinds of fish oil,” opening the door of a small closet. ‘‘that gained a medal at our Centennial exhibition.

In three or four houra the oil has risen to the top, and I skim it off and pass it through a strainer into a barrel. The barrel, when full, stands in my store a month or two to settle: then we draw it off and chill it— that is. we force it under pressure through linen bags of double thickness, thus making It lighter and removing every trace of sediment.

From the Milwaukee Wisconsin, George Allanson, the railway newsman, who as thirty-five newsboys, or ‘candy butchers,” n allow their daughters to dance it, although a t proportion of the fushi F ty of the others, do n o its iniquity. I have recently been in consul- | tation with the Rey.

Dancers of to-day ne into altogether too close contact. In the old time a genti touched a lady waist, at the ing her right hand in his left. Now he thro’ arms clear around her form, pulls her closely to him, as though fearful of losing her, brings his face into actual | contact with her soft cheek, and, in a word, hugs her. Such action is altogether too familiar, but still custom and society sanction it, and, in stead of improvement for the better, we see, year after year, a marked advance in the im prieties of the dance. In the old days the waltz was comparatively modest; now it is just the reverse, and the waltz is calculated to do more injury to the young than many of fle vices that are preached against from the pulpit and deeply deplored in private life.” “You speak with much force, professor, with regard to the morality of the waltz. Do you speak froin personal observation or from hear- Si From personal observation I have made it my practice tor years to attend balls and parties in order to keep pace in my teaching with the popular demand. Ihave no hesitation in say- ing that I attribute much of the vice and im- mortality now prevailing to the insiduous influ- ence of the waltz. This may seem an oyerstrain- ing of the point, but itis my honest conviction. I tell you that ih the higher circles young ladies at parties and balls are absolutely hugged by men who were altogether unkown to them before the music of the waitz began to inspire the toes of the dancers. Is this a pleasant sight | to contemplate? I have seen couples so closely interlocked that the face of the man was actu- ally in contact with that of the palpitating girl in his arms. I have seen kisses interchanged | amid the whirl of the maddening waltz. “The persons interested inthis crusade intena | ng clergymen and | jastieal organs and in- | stitutions of the United States, and ask them to | aid in the great work. Dr. Wayland said he would help us in any way he could, and prom- ised to write to Mrs. Gen, Sherman, the autho ess of a book in opposition to waltzing, asking | her assistance. Talso wrote to that lady re~ questing her advice as to the conduct éf the crusade. Mrs. Sherman’s book takes the ground | that the waltz is immodest; that it detracts from the purity of young ladies who indulge in he of the great ece it; that it wives to the young men opportunit! for familiarities that Should never be allowe and that it is, in fact, demorallzing in the e treme. She holds that no young lady shouid | be embraced save by the man she proposes to mn “There are six dances now In yogue that in- volve the hugging principle of the waltz. They are the plain waltz, which was introduced by the Germans (who seldom, by the way, take part in square dances); the glideea fash- | lonable and pretty dance; theredowa, which has | held itsown for many generations of dancers; | the Danish (halt mareh and half waltz), and the | three-step galop. I entered upon this crusade, first, because I thought the waltz an immoral dance, and, second, because the clerzymen whom I consuited thought the initiatory steps in the matter should be taken by a member of the pro- fession most deeply interested.” Prof. Welch, in conclusion, saidthat the waltz step is in itself unobjectionable, but that the closeness of the parthers, as the dance is now raat eed is worthy of strong condemnation. He suzgests that the waltz step be retained, but that the partners be widely separated by a yery simple expedient. This is to cross and join the hands. A possible objection to this is that it will not afford to the lady that sense of support and protection that is derived from the pressure of her partner’s arm about her waist. The Pro- fessor says that he introduced thisstyle of waltz- ingto some of his higher classes winter, and it was favorably received.

Thus we take back the goods not sold, pay the galesman his commis- sion, and get a receipt from him for all claims, which ends the account.” “What do you consider the best kind of tray- elers for your business 7” the reporter asked one of the butchers. “Wedding parties and the way passengers, The one is ready to buy anything about love and sweetness, while the other is ready to buy anything they cannot get at home.” “Who are your poorest patrons?” “Commercial travelers and theatrical peo- le.

Inde it was in need of it, because when coming from the dining-room the king has no possible access to his own apartment other than through the ante-chamber, generally crowded with the ladies and gentlemen Who were waiting for an audi- ence. The servants would kindly direct his majesty to go back to his rooms by the service stairs when the hall was full and when Humbert did not wish to be seen by the people in the ante-chamber. Even kings are obliged some- times to obey the directions of their own servants. The King is a good sort of a fellow, not such @ sportsman as his father, but a good hunter anyhow, and acrack marksman. His favorite morsel is boiled chicken or a piece of veal. The son of Victor Emanuel has bad teeth, and likes food overcooked. He is very fond of a quiet life; retires early when he can to his own apart- ments, and rises very early, generally before six; takes a cup of coffee, and rides for an hour anda half on horseback in the manege of his own palace; very seldom goes out for an early ride. at least now. He receives people of every description and with great affabllity. A few days ago two work- ingmen from Leghorn came to Rome te present a crown of fiowers for Victor Emanuel’s grave. The king spent some time with them, and was so kind that the poor fellows were delighted. When driving his own horses through the new quartera of Rome, where many new buildings | are in progress, it is noticed that King Hum- bert is always ready to answer the saluting workingmen who bow at him from the high scaffolding, and sometimes he is the first to call their attention by taking off his hat. Since Passanante’s attempt a mags is cele- brated on Sunday by the royal chap- lain Anzino in the Quirinal. The king regularly attends this mass after the meeting of the minis- ters, which begins at 10 a.in. Sometimes the meeting is not over until half-past one. The priest is obliged to walt, and Mgr. Anzino some Sundays is obliged to say his mass at two or later. The queen is patiently waiting, and does not allow any one to have breakfast until the mass is over. It takes Mgr. Anzino about sev- enteen. minutes to go through his mass, which is served by the sexton of the Piedmontese Chureh of the Sudario, near St. Andrea della Valle, Mgr. Anzino being at the same time rec- tor of that chureh and royal chaplain. During the mass the Queen and the young Prince of Naples kneel down, but the king keeps on standing all the time. Only at the elevation he bends his head slightly. The King likes to talk Piedmontes, but the Queen never Ingulges in that dialect. She talks the very best Italian, and wants the young Prince todo the same. She gave him, therefore. from his early childhood a Tuscan servant from Florence. Florentines are sup- posed to talk the best Italian, though they may have a strong aspiration. The Queen talks with her mother, the Duchess of Genoa, almost always in German. She can also speak very good English and per- fect French, De Martini, a skillfal Neapolitan is the phy- and always ful- at the royal He is a very tem- | perate man, and has persuaded the King and | Queen to drink water.
