AN UNDERGROUND DANCE.

HAVIN'O A BALL IN A MINE MORE THAN A THOUSAND FEET BENEATH THE

SURFACE.

Virginia City Chronicle.

On Saturday night last iu the New "York mine was the scene of a most extraordinary entertainment. It was nothing less than a grand bali on the Incline station of the mine, 1,040 feet underground. Aoout one hundred gentlemen and ladtes participated, and the entertainment was a most delightful novelty. The invitations included Virginia, (Sold Hill, Silver City, and Carson, and were for sixty couples. The Virginia City party started Irom home at about eight o'clock, arriving at about eight o'clock, arriving at Superintendent Canavan's residence at aoout nine. After a short rest at the house they were escorted to the hoisting works of the mine.

On entering the works the guests were led up to the shaft. Superiuteudent Canavan said "Now, who wants to get aboard first? Right this way, ladies."

Several ladies positively declined to go down through "that terrible hole a thousand feet deep—only think of it!" Others stepped boldly on the cage aud at the tap of the bell it sank boldly out of sight. In a few minutes the cage cams up for a second load, and several more ladies slipped aboard.

The guests, ou reaching a distance of 1,040 feet below the surlace, found themselves at the Incline station, a chamber about 36 feet in length by 14 in width, and 34 feet high next the shaft. The tloor was covered with canvas. The orchestra was seated at the west end of the bill room, just at the edge of the incline. There were no chairs, but the

Earty

found comfortable seats on beams dtween the uprights in little cosy nooks just big enough (with a tight squeezj) for two persous. The ballroom was brilliantly illuminated, and from the west end the iucline to the depth of 150 feet could be viewed. The incliue had two compartments, each big enough for a four in hand to drive through. The iucline was illuminated with hanging lauterna, and from the station tbe miners saw the miners at work away down at the foot of the slope.

Wnile the guests were viewing the illuminated vista of twelve by twelve timbers stretchiug away with matbamalic precision, tbe orchestra bjgan a graud march. All fell into line, and a few minutes later tbe music changed an 1 the party were whirling on the cauvassed floor in the dizzy waltz, Tbe uunic echoed grandly through the dark galleries, sinuous drifts, and recesses of tue mine, aud soon tbey grew fast and and furious. Tba dancers wiped the perspiration from their brows. There was a rush for the ice water, and orders w.re sent up the shaft lor a fresh sup ply.

Tnere was not room for all to dance in tbe station at tbe same time, and many strolle4 down the incline stairway at tbe lowest point, where tho miners were at work. Tbe men insisted that tbe ladies should strike tbe drills, and several put in five minutes solid work with tiK* sledge hammers.

The cages glided up and down the shaft every live minutes, aud at about mid night, the atmosphere having reached a decidedly tropical teiuperature, tbe party gradually thinned out, every cage taking a full load up. One lady so tar forgot herself as to inquire when tbe next "hack" would start.

THE LESSON OF A LONG LIFE. Mrs Saruh J. Halo, who died the week betore last in Pniladelpbla, preach ed a sermon with every one ot her ninety one years to the present genera tlon of women. This good old lady had, probably, no great genius, nor either creative or executive ability as capital in life she never bestrode any great idea, aud with it helned to drag her age forward (or backward), and herself into notoriety.* She never (ought for suffrage or engineered any party reform, or feminine soot or clique, tier literary work would probably be called mediocro by more brilliant women. But it was al ways—what tho work of but few women is—thoroughly sweet and healthy. Her public work was alway founded on some wijolosoaie, clean, womanly feeling the completion of the Hunker Hill Monu m?ut, the ua ition uf the Society ior the Aid of Seamen, and above all, tbe estaotisb neut of the beatitiful New England festival of Thanksgiving as a natixual holiday, are all due to her quiet, pers'*t*?nt efforts. More than this, left a widow and penniless, she reared and educated her five children and placed theiu honorably in tbe world. Her work began when she was sixteen, and she only laid it down, "to take a little rest," two years ago, at eighty-nine Ilow many eager, ambitious, overworked women ot tbe present generation can otter as fair a record? Tfce secret lie* in tbe fact that Mrs. Hale had a thoroughly healthy body, a strong will, firm omtrol of temper, and that her life was always a quiet and.secluded one. It is all verv pleasant for our modern Corinna* to lecture or to lead society or manage woman's clubs and reforms to keep themselves, in short, beams oi light in the eyes of the world. But it they do it they cannot raise five sturdy eons and die at ninety-one. "When the tigs are eaten." says the Arab, "they are no longer In tbe bag. Then come starvation and death."

THE DANGEROUS GIRL. But i: i»'V we come at last, to the real "danger: is Jrl"—the girl who soeuis by some floe fitness to walk into the empty room in a man's heart which has never been opened to another woman and take up ner abode there. "She is Just as high as my heart," Orlando says or Rosalind, and there can be no more accurate measurement lor a lover's delight in his sweet-heart. She fits him, ahe salts him. 8be may not be pretty, she may not be clever she may be both of these things in a remarkable degree, and a ball-room belle beside, ana a chef d'ovre of milliner's art into the barxaln. But she has a high gift, over ana beyond all theee which readers

all others subordinate. She has a way ol listening which makes the most reserved man eloquent, and her little speeches, never audacious and rarely brilliaut, have yet something tenacious about them, and cling to his memory when be nits over his fire by night or goes about his daily work. Then her face, her distinct'and vivid personality, pursues him: it is tbe girl herself, not her bangles nor her nouncos. that he remembers. It seems natural to him that he is thus taken po&heaalun of aud held captive. No matter how cold he may have been heretofore, he now becomes ardent, warm-hearted and rash. He may have admired a pretty girl with her furbelows aud fiounoes aud her nice perception of the most becoming he may have been a little heavy-hearted over the sumptuous beauty of the belle, and have enjoyed the society of the clever girl who saved him the trouble of doing all the talking, being able to do it herself so muoh more brilliantly. But this hankering after private felicity, this fervid belief in attainable happiness, this large faith in the future which marriage may assure to him, only followed by his acquaintance with the "dangerous girl" who upset his boasted ideas of independent enjoyment, overturned all his preconceived notions of bachelorhood aud set him longing to be engaged. Until he saw her he said with Benedick, "One woman if fair, yet 1 am well another is wise, yet I am well another virtuous, yet 1 am well but till all graces come into one woman shall not come into my grace."—Lippiucott's Magazine. _____________

A JOURNALISTS EXPERIENCE.

HOW A MAN GOT WORK TO DO.

Causeur, in Boston Transcript, Causeur has a friend, a journalist of distinction, now holding a very prominent and responsible position on one of the best known papers in the country, who had a curious experience once in getting a position on the staff of a New York daily. He applied to the editor in chief, who knew him well, and was aware of his ability and experience. "I've nothing to offer you," he said, "but perhaps you'd better see the managing editor." To the managing editor, who also knew him well, tbe applioaut went. "There's nothing I cau give you," he said, pleasantly "why don't you see the editor iu chiet?" The next day he applied to both again, and the next, each time receiving the same answer. Dropping in ou the fourth day, he noticed a vacant desk in tbe reporters' room, kept for any one who might want to use it, He called the office boy, told him to clean up tbe desk and bring writing materials. Having "moved in" he sought the city editor's assignment book, picked out a job that he thought he could do, did it, laid the result on tbe city editor's desk and went home. The next day he did the same thi.g, and the next, and the next. On the fifth day the editor in chief passed through the room while be was at his desk. "So you've got to work he said, pleasantly. "Yes, sir," answered the self-appointed reporter. A day or two later, the managing editor came in. "Got at it at last, eh?" he inquired. "Yes, sir," answered this latest addition to tbe staff, going on with his work. Things went on in this way for two weeks, when one morning the chief came in. "How do you like your position?" he asked. "First rate," he answered, "there's only one trouble I haven't had any money yet." "No money? How's that? Perhaps the managing editor forgot to put your name on the roll. Never mind, 1 will. How much did he say you were to have?" "He didn't SAy, air," said the reporter, telliu* tbe truth very literally. The chiet fixed the pay then and there, dated it back two weeks, and the "hanger-on" became a tull-iiedged member of the staff on the spot. Aud the best of the joke was that it was not until two years afterward that either tbe editor in chief or the managing editor knew how it came about, eauh supposing the other had done it. Two heads certainly were better than one that time—lor the applicant.

THE MENAGERIE.

A reporter of the Philadelphia Press has obtained from the keeper of a menagerie that is wintering in that city some interesting intorimtion in regard to the care of wild animals. "For the past winter," said the keoper, "we have beeu giving tbe lions from fifteen to twenty pounds of raw baef once a day occasionally mutton is given instsad. When traveling it is increased seven or eight pounds. A hyena, when not on the road, is allowed twelve pounds a day, which is increased five pounds when traveling. Leopards, pumas and jaguars are given three pounds. Elephants subsist principally ou bay, about balf a ton per day. more "or less. In fact they eat al! the tlino, almost, only stopplug to play. Well, sir, those ten elephants there will get together and play balf a day at a time without stopping. Now look at their eyes aud ivory. Isn't there some resemblance to a human being laughing? Wh»t different expressions animals have! Look at that ele-

"Well, no, not the whole night through. As soon as dark comes the hyenas commence pacing up and down their cages, iu quest of food his regular tlme, you know, in his native jungle. The elephant begins tho lion answers him, another lion roars back the panther takes It up then the sea lion with its peculiar cross between sound and shriek aud now cjmes tbe monkeys, and the macaw and cockatoo, with an occasional neigh of a horse and bark of a dog make a noise that is at times deafening, but not altogether unpleasant. Finally nothing is left of the hubbub save an occasional chirp of a bird, when ail of a sudden tbe elephant will wake tbe echoes, and the whole gang take up tbe chorus." 1

WORDS OF WISDOM.

The first and worst of all frauds is to eheat oneself. All sin 1b easy after that. If tbe loved ones could come back to earth only long enough to be forgiven, it would relieve mauy a remorseless heart.

CHILDREN'S CHA TTER.

W bea to a man a coward asked a teaober. "When he runa away from a cow," answered a pupil. "Now, Wllle," said his anxious mother, "how did yon get that big daub of molasses on your best jacket 'Oh, syrup-titiously, nua," and his peculiar wink saved him a boxed ear.

A sohoelmistress while taking down tbe names aud ages of her pupils and the names of their parents at the beginning of the term, asked one little fellow, "What's your father's natne?" "Oh, you needn't take down his name he's too old to go School a^ worn an," was the reply.-. y„

A little girl who was accustomed to tbe plainest style of living was taken by her mother to dine with a rich friend. On returning home she exolaimed to her sister in an ecstacy ot delight, "On, Polly, we had four dinners, all one after the other.

A Maine parson who announced from bis pulpit that a circus was about to visit the town, and that if any of Ills flock should atteud he would gladly give them a letter of dismission, was somewhat mollified in his wrath when a bright and bold litLle Sunday-school scholar ol eight preaented himself at the pulpit at the close of toe service with, "Please, sir, will you gl^e me the ticket to the circus that you promised."

A youngster at a Keokuk residence where a dancing party was held was taken off to bed while the festivities were still in progress. He went through with his usual devotion^ out his mind was more on the music tuan it was on heavenly things. The consequence was that he got tbe two mixed, and wound up his prayer rather nastily with: "God bless me ior Kiste'a sate and let me down an' hear zee fiddlera. Amen

SOMETHING %A VKD.

The scene was hereabouts the characters, a rising young merchant aud a pretty woman. He had au affection for her she a liking for him, so they became betrothed. After a time she found out that she didn't love him well enough to marry him, and the match was broken off. It was a severe blow, and he staggered under it but be fought well for himself, protested that his lite WHS ruined, asked if she could not learn to love him, and in all ways did the proper thing. She was immovable, nowever, and he sadly and reluctantly took his leave. While his eyes were full of gathering tears, he bade his taltering farewells, then closed the door upon his hopes. A moment later he opened it, stepped back into the room, and, with tears in his voice, brokenly murmured, "I hope this will make uo difference about your coming to the store, Miss aud that your mother will continue to trade with us. I shall be happy to give the usual discouut. Our stock is large and varied our aim to please." And the door shut finally, leaving him alone with his grief.

IIIS LAST JOKE.

How these war memories come floating back! It seems like a dream now, but it was terribly real then.

At Oluatee, just before the fight— "Please, sir," said Pat, an Irish corporal, "I think me horse wants to rest." "Well, well," said the captain, "take off his saddle and let him roll, but be sure and mount as soon as he is done." "Yes, sir," said Pat, saluting and falling to the rear.

There was a brush with the "Johnnies" a few minutes later, and there was lively work for the next half hour. When a lull came, the captain siw Pat sitting quietly on a stump holding his saddle. "Where's your horse?" asked the captain. "Down in the field there, sir," answered Pat, rising to salute his commander. "Didn't I tell you to mount as soon as he had done rolling?" "Sure you did, captain, an' it's for that I'm waiting. He hasn't beguu yet."

It was Pat's last sally of wit. The poor fellow fell in the next charge.

SELF-SACRIFICE.

One day six boys, ranging in age from six to ten years, were playing in a gravel pit. Suddenly a high bank aoove them fell, and covered them up. Some men who were near by saw the bank fall. They had just before seen the boys, and concluding that tbey must be buried under the ground, ran quickly to help thein out. They soon uncovered tbe head and neck of one little fellow six years old, and were going on to help him clear out, when he exclaimed: "Here are more boys under the ground. I can stand it uow until you help them out."

Ami so the little fellow pointed with a gesture of his bead, aud telling where the other boys were, bravely remained in his prison of earth uutil his companions were rescued from death.

It that boy lives, aud*acts as be did when a boy, he will be brave aud generous. Instead of whining about his own wants and discomforts, he will look to see if there are not others in a worse situation, and wi)l try to relieve them. This single boy is worth a whole army of selfish fellows who cry out, "I look out for number one first."

EASY UF A IT A IN HEN T. By the cultivation of kind and generous impulses, every man who will may be a gentleman. It is too rarely we find, among tboso who vote themselves tbe gentlemen and ladies of tbe day, anything to warrant their assumption. There is but little of the true metal about them. Personal contact reveals arrogance and pride, and too often a meanness of spirit and a littleness that disgraces human nature. So far aa our observation goes—and It covers many years of contact with high and lew, rich and poor—we are constrained to say that, while among the poorer classes there is, as a general thing, a sad lack of external culture—of attention to little personal habits that are not agreeable to others, and which ought to be corrected —there are really in the lower and middle ranks of society, so-called, quite as many true gentlemen and ladies as among those who claim the exclusive right to ibeae honorable designations.

SAVED BY A LOOK.

Horace Manning stocd in tho barroom of "The Wanderer's Rest," a cigar between his lips, and a glass of ale in bis baud. A bright fire was burning in tbe stove, roun which a group of men were sitting. Each had bis glasB, and nearly every one had a pipe or cigar. Curls of smoke mounted to the celling, and the air was beginning to takea blue tint.

It was early in the evening, and tbe men in tbe bar room bad not yet drank so much as to lose their senses or their temper. The nlgbt was dark and cold, and the brilliaut lights and gaudy ornaments of "Tbe Wanderer's Rest" looked cheerful and attractive to the shivering one without.

Horaoe Manning had lately fallen Into the habit of goiug iuto cbe bar room as he went home from his work, and of standing there long enough to drink a glass of ale and smoke a cigar. He was tired with being behind a desk all day and be thought it rested him to look at the coutented faces, and listen to the conversation and laughter in "The Wanderer's Rest."

True, tbe flush on some of the faces was too deep to be the flush of health, aud the laughter was sometimes hoarse but Horace did not think of that. He was in no danger, he thought, of ever caring to spend his evenings there, or of exchanging his pure complexion for such a one a* some of his companions bad.

To-night be was unusually tired. A mistake had beeu made a few days before by the assistant book-keeper, and it baving that day been discovered, Horace had taken many long hours to look over tbe books and correct it.

He had not iutended to stop at "The Wanderer's Rest." for he had promised to take pretty Milly White to a lecture that evening, aud be knew that she disliked the odor of tobacco. He had no idea that she would think him in danger of becoming a drunkard if she saw him among those men though he heard her speak with disgust of the drinking shops she sometimes passed, and with pity of those who frequented them. He would not have been quite easy had he known that Milly's soft eyes had seen enter "The Wanderer's Rest," and that even now, she was standing at the corner of the street, watching anxiously to see him reappear.

At the tea table, Horace noticed that Milly looked sad. Since her childhood she had lived with his mother, and he knew every shade of feeling that flitted over the gentle face. He could not imagine what had made her sad, and felt puzzled an4 almost irritated at her silence during their walk to the town hall, and her apparent indifference to the lecture. He was very much interested, and when, at the clcse of tbe lecture, the speaker grew more eloquent over the poetry of a happy household, he turned in a glow of admiration to Milly, and smiled. The look that answered him was not such as be was accustomed to receive from her its sadness chilled him.

During their walk home, neither of them spoke. After their retured, Mrs. Manning said: "How did you like the lecture, Milly?" "Very well," said the girl, but said no more. Horace, to put au end to his uncomfortable feelings, began a description of the lecture. He grew almost as eloquent as the lecturer, until, stealing a glance at Milly as she sat opposite, he saw a tear fall upon her band. He could not understand it, and rising abruptly, said "Good-night," and left the room.

The next evening, Milly had an errand to do in the street through which she had passed the previous night. Tbe house to which she was going was nearly opposite the "Wanderers' Rest," and as she stood on the step, waiting for the door to open, she saw Horace again enter the drinking saloon.

Two men standing on the sidewalk saw him aud began to comment on him. "A pity!*' said one. "Yes," said the other, "he's a fine young man. I'm sorry to see him take tho first step." "It isn't the first step," was the reply: "I've seen him.go there a good many times lately. 1 in afraid the habit is fully formed." "His mother's a widow, isn't she?" "Yes and he's her only son."

The door was opened. It was all that Milly could do to ask intelligibly for the person she wishes to see, and afterwards to control herself sufficiently to say what she had come to say. During ber stay, she sat by a window while she oould see the place into which Horace had gone. He did not come out while she sat there nor while, under the pretext of gathering up ber dress, she stood on the step and waited. Slowly she walked to the corner, hoping every instant to hear his quick step behind her, but hoping in vain.

What could she do? The words she had heard rung in ber ears. She saw him ruined for life, and with him her own and bis bapniness. It seemed more than she could bear. She stopped at the corner, and with a prayer for help, went rapidly back towards "Tbe Wanderer's Rest."

Horace Manning, distressed by Milly's strange behavior tbe night before, and tormenting himself as to its cause, had spent an unhappy day, and had determined to go directly home, and ask ber to tell him what had distressed her. He did not think of going into "The Wanderer's Rest," but habit had grown stronger than he was aware of and almost oefore he thought, he found himself in the barroom. "No, I won't take ale to-night," he said to the landlord, "nor a cigar. Give me a glass of brandy-and-water."

Several customers were waiting, and some time elapsed before bis turn came. As be looked round the room, he saw an unoccupied chsir, aud sat down In It. A strange feeling came over him as he did so—a kind of ahrinking from the closer companionship with those around him. But he shook off the feeling half angrily. "Pshaw!" be thought "bow foolish I sip! I shall probably never sit here again."

At length the landlord brought him his glass. He sat looking at it In au absent manner, and di-1 not taste it. "Sick asked tbe red face man at his id a a a it a

Horace abuok bis bead. "In debt?" "No." "In love At this a loud laugh rang through tbe room. "No," said Horace, shortly. "I am tired, and I came here to drink my brandy and water in peace." "Ou! she won't let you drink it at home," was tbe rejoinder.

Another laugb went round. Horace diapained to reply. He raised tbe glass to his lips, and, at the same time raised bis eves. His glass went down untested and be sprang to his feet. Every one In tbe room looked towards the door. There, pale and trembling, stood Milly White. She did not speak she only looked at Horace earnestly for a moment, and turned away. He threw down tbe payment for his liquor, *nd rnshed after ber. On the pavement be found ber sobbing. He drew ber arm
