Five Vcars in a Coal Shaft Thought At as In parts of Missouri nothing is commoner in out of the way places than a solitary coal shaft, says the youth's Companion.

In one of these remote mines there was kept, 100 feet btlow the surface, a little old mulo whose business it was to draw the loaded cars up the iucliued plane to the foot of the shaft. Back and forth, back and forth, it mado its dis mal journeys duriug working hours, and at might wis left alone in a corner fitted up a a stable to await in the silence and utter darkness the re tarn of its human comrades. For five long yeai it had never breathed the upper sir or soon tlie light ot day. it was a groat pot with tho miners, who used to bring it bunehos of fresh grass iu summer or lumps of sugar and apples in winter. One night, when the mnle was being unhar nessed, someone proposed taking Jinny up in tho cage.

It was done; her tremors as the cago bogan to ascend were soothed by the assurin words and caresses of her companions, and soon she iound herself restored to a mule's natural privileges. The next morning when tho time came to go to work Jinny positively refusod to return. Neither persuasion nor throats could induce her to approach the shaft and stop into the waiting cage. A council was held. Tlie miners, touched by what the poor bruto had suffered in her five of isolation, and reproaching themselves that her imprisonment had been so long, at length solved the problem by subscribing on the spot enough oat of their scanty earnings to buy Jinny, and Bhe was immediately loosed and turned out to grass.

For years afterward she could bo soon nibbling the grass near the shaft, or sheltering herself be hind a liberal haystack that somehow was alwars there for her. When working hours were over Bhe was sure to be near the shaft, where she could mutely.testify to her liberators ns they came up that she was tho happiest mule in Missouri. No matter how prompt actors may be at rehearsal there is always one man who is prompter. Texan Sift in'js. A.

i'liii luTontor Describes it and Talks on Aeronautics Thero are four principal classes of devices by which the air may bo navigatad, and all four hare been moderately successsful. The first is the balloon pure and simple a mero gas filled float capable of taking np a certain weight and keeping it afloat until the gaa escapes by ieakago, or by being let ovst on purpose, or until the bag becomes too heavy by reason of passing through clouds highly saturated with water. Such floats dilTer from tlie raft used in water navigation only in having a certain limited power of rising and falling. The raft has the advantage of it, that while it may be steered, anil often to some extent propelled, the. plain balloon float is at the mercy of the winds.

If the aeronaut does not iiko the direction of tho wind which is carrying him he can get another only by rising or sinking into stratum where the current is in another di rection. For such floats the host ahapa sphere, from tho fact that of all forms it has tho least surface and weight for a given volume, and pressure within only tends to keep it in its proper shape. A step in advance of this plain float is the navi gable balloon, or, hotter yet, the dirigible balloon, which has a certain amount of steering power. Its best shape is that of a cigar, giving much less resistance to motion in one direction than in tho other. By having and rudders its motion may bo rendered to a great degree iu dependent ot tho wind, Hist as in the sailing ves sel.

But where there is no wind tiie mere dirigi hie balloon is as truly becalmed as tho sailing vessel, would be, and it cannot sail in the teeth of the wind. It. has over the sailing vessel only the power of rising and sinking, and this not be kept up forever. Each timo that it has been raised or lowered it has lesi power than before of rising again. In both of the classes above mentioned increase of lifting power is got by throwing out ballast, and lowering can be done only by letting out gas.

This ballast naturally lessens tho passenger carrying capacity of tho balloon to start with, and, of course, as gas is Utout, its lifting power is lessened. Tho great drawback to all such balloons is that the air presents sneli a resistance to their motion iu any direction, except with tho wind. Tho sailing vessel, which gct its motive power from the wind, is not resisted by the air, because that is moving with it; and to the water it presents but a comparatively small cross section; and that may he rendered loss ob structive by the lines of tho bow and stern being "fined down." The mere dirigible balloon, without propelling power, is in about the same fix as would bo a submarine vessel having no motive power. A step farther is tho self propelling balloon, which, beside having lifting capacity and steer ing power, has some sort of motive force. Its best shape is that of it cigar.

It is oircum stanced about as in tho submnrino torpedo boat: but it is at a disadvantage in comparison with this latter in that tiio flouting power of the air is so little in comparison with that of the water that it has not lifting power onough to carry much propelling machinery. It takes from seven to ten rnon to exert one horso power (which is equivalent to lifting 33,000 pounds one foot high every minute), aud these men cannot work night and day as the engine of one horse power can do. Tho ordinary large marine ongino weighs about 500 pounds per nominal horse powor, and to this should be added about 250 for sido wheels, 175 to 500 for boilers, 1)5 to 75 for coal bunkers and 200 to 225 for water in the boilers, making a total of about 1.500 pounds per horse power, in those largo sizes. Small engines are proportionately heavier. The use of steel or oven aluminium would enable engines to be lighter, but even then there is this almost insuperable obstaclethat both hydrogen and common illuminating gas, which are tho two substances employed in tilling bal loons, are inflammable when pure, and highly xplosive when mixed with from four to five times their volume of ordinary air: hence a lire under the boiler is out of the question.

The aeronaut has to rely on chemical mixtures to kcop his hands warm, and on phosphorescent sub stances to see at night. Tho use of electricity as a motive force implies having either a primary or chemical battery, which is a very costly method of generating electricity, or a secondary or stor ige battery (accumulators), which are so heavy tiiat their use on surfaoo railways has hardly yet been proved practical. The fourth kind of airship has no float at all. It is called an aeroplane, and is, in fact, a largo kite, being made to rise or sink by varying its angle with the horizontal, and, an for steering, it is rather the worst of the four to handle. Of course when there is a dead calm the aeroplauo must come down to the ground, an well as give up all notion of changing its position horizontally.

The absurdity of one man endeavoring to give any kind of propulsion to a balloon which will carry no other passengers should be plainly msnii'est when wc come to figure up Just how much resistance there is to be overcome. The mechanical difficulties in constructing an kind of a baiioon float are very great. The envelope should theoretically be as light as a blad ler, in order that the balloon should havo lifting power; and it should also be as strong as a fire hose to stand abrasion when the balloon happens. as is often the case, to bo dragged over the round, over fences, trees and buildings. It must be gas tight and yet contain no varnish nor other substance which will cither mildew or be como heated by spontaneous combustion or be soluble in the gas employed to fill the float.

All these ihings being the case, it is not, probable that a propulsiblo airship will bo a success this year. Perhaps our quadrt centennial may find he problem solved. The groat trouble is that men who have the nerve, physical strength and endurance, scientific knowledge and experience to make trial trips properly of airships arc too good material to waste. WOMEN PRISONERS I. INOf.A.

How They Arc 'B'tae of Steward awl Fiini. ihmtitit. There was a separate ward in tlie jail for tho women prisoners, and, though women prisoners are usually few iu number, it generaily happens hat some of thorn are very bad and ble. Jt was not easy to devise a svstom of re wards or punishments for these women. They were required to spin thread or to clean cotton, which were probably their ordinary avocations in their own homes.

If they behaved well tome indulgence could be contrived for thorn, such as to let them dress their hair according to their own fancy, instead of wearing it plain or cut short. It was amusing to see the wonderful plaits and structures they made with their long and thick hair. Another indulgence irs to let a woman cook her own food, instead of having to take her portion cooked by the mess cook. When these indulgences had been granted the withdrawal of them served as a punishment for misbehavior, fortunately the majority were quiet, though guilty, erimtures who had taken the life of a child or grown up person in some moment of passion, or jealoury, but had seldom been out of tho precincts of tiie zenana. There were, however, some who had been bad and had led a vicious life before they came to Jail and they gave every possible trouble to the jaiior and his guards.

Their command of abusive aud vile language was incredible. There was one who pre eminently mischievous and fractious. One day when jjie and her companions were taken out to br.tiiu as Uatv.il iu the jail tank (a largo reservoir about one hundred yards square), just outside the jail wails, this young woman swam out into the middle of the tank and defied the jr.iier for hours. Of course, her bathing in the tank was stoppod for a time, but at last proposed to the jailer to hare fetters imt cn her legs, so that she could not swim if taken out to bathe. The jailer kindly consented to gratify her whim; but no Bootier had she reached tiie water than she struck out boldly swimming and then pretended to be drowning from the weight of her fetters.

The ju.iJer was terrified and came rushing to me for orders. I went to the side of the tank and saw the woman plunging about like a young porpoise and sotting us all at dotianco. A fisherman's canoe was brought and the woman was eventually hunted to tiie shore, aot without maKiug several attemutR to upset the boat. A great crowd had assembled while her performance was gointr on and although she had at last to submit to capture, I think that she certainly had tho best of the day's sunusomcnt. Uameic.

AU1I.F. Sl'lTKStU. Wo have heard of congressmen driven lip a tree, as it were, but seldom of their own accord. The rare sight of one deliberately climbing up a tree was afforded tho neighbors of Congressman MiUilten last week. He wanted the top of his fruit trees cut.

So, witii all the energy of getting an appropriation bill, he climbed the tree and wielded the tools as vigorously as Tom Iteed flourished the giro. Congressman Hillikeu is a typical Maine man of tho self made stamp. tells with great pride that his mother is still the possessor of a set of dishes which he purchased for her whoa only 12 years of age with money he earned cutting hoop polos.

Should Campbell bo defeated and Governor Bnice of Iowa bo elected, the latter would stand aobancoof tho Should neither of these bo in it, I think the nomination would be most liltoly to fall to Senator Arthur Pue Gor raan.

"One thine," concluded Major Dickson, certain: the convention next year will not be a mere ratification meeting, as was the case with the laBt one. No nomination will be made on the rirst ballot, and probably not in the first day's balloting. hoever wins will win only after a Bharp stniccle. That's the way I read the sics of tho times." There is some talk at the White Honse about tho President, upon his return hore early in September, not takiutr up quarters in his official residence for a month at least.

If he does this and makes his home at a hotel it will be because the White House will, upon tho date of his return, be in a condition which would make lirintr in it very unpleasant. Tho building is in the hands of the decorators and repairers, and the im uroTemenu and ohane.es heins made cannot. Ik: accomplished earlier than the 1st of October. This will Rive the President cklier a month at a hotel or a month in a noisy house, all torn up as to its interior. Mont of the work bidnn put in on the buiidint; has, before it is undertaken, the approval of Mrs.

Harrison, with whom Colonel Ernest, tho army officer in charge of the house, is in almost daily communication. He writes to Mrs. Harrison, jrivinjz the details of tho proposed work and waits lor approval and suggestion before entering upon it. Mrs. Harrison is taking an unusual interest in this matter for special reasons.

It. is known among her intimates that she intends to make the next winterat the White Honse as brilliant as possible. Hitherto she has been handicapped in her social ambition by tho nurobsr of deaths that havo occtirrod among prominent officers of the administration and their families. Frequently she has had to postpone events for which she had made Kroat preparations on that account. In fact, she can be said, in comparison with other women of the White House who have sono before her, to jive had no real social life on the scale enjoyed by lio.v predecoBsora.

It nothing untoward intervenes uho iutends next winter to make a record i'or herself. She is thus naturally interested in the arrangements and decoration of the house in which she is to ire her receptions and other entertainments. hi the obanjrcs sqins on now the most delicate is that in the main vestibule, the state dining, room and the green parlor, in the latter of which White House people receive their attests. It is Mid by experts in such matters that the decorative work in the places mentioned will not bo second to that of a similar kind in tho houses of Now York millionaires. Among the decorations in the west hall are portraits of Washington and Lincoln, to be painted on the walls over the mantel pieces.

Tim Washington picture i to be from the life size portrait which hangs in the celebrated east room, whore the guests congregate and chat after having greeted ttie White House people in the green parlor. Tho repairs in the latter apartment and in the state diningroom promise to be particularly gr: id. A now color for tho dininirroom has been invented, tt is the blending of the colors of tea and coffee. Tho effect is a rich shade of salmon, shaded off from a deep tinge to a delicate orange color as tin ceiling is reached. There iB sufficient fignring in tho work to relieve the monotony of too much brilliant coloring.

This room when finished is certain to be admired by ail who see it. In the green parlor a most delicate shade of green being used. If time can be possibly found the east room and the promenade, corridor will be put forth with great tasto and splendor before the social seasau opens. The time will very iikely be found, for it has been said that where a woman willa she hasher way. And Mrs.

Ilarriion, for the reasons already cited, wili in this case. Speaking of houses, there is one on Seventh street in this city which has a history antl is liable at almost any day to be the cause of a suit at law. It. is a mere shell of an old frame, consisting of two stories and a basement. It is right opposite the patent office building, a site which is one of the best from a business point of view in Ali about it are good substantia! houses, several of which are being replaced by pretentious structures.

The basement of the honse winch the story is especially iuterc.ited is occupied as a cigar store. A tailor iias the floor above. The upper story is let as cheap hidgins. The man who runs tlie cigar alorcin the basement was asked to day why the ramshackle house was not torn down and a gaod building put up in its stead. He told tho reason, i lie owner of the building was, when iei.

iier, a oaciiemr. it ne nail any relatives no one knew it. Ho was a strong Southern sympathizer. When the war broke out he went S.niih, and has never sin co been heard I'roin. A nmaiiuor assumed charge of the building and has ever since col'ected the rental of it and kept the money, lie cannot seil it and lie is afraid to do anything toward its improvement.

Ho docs not know at what time the real owner or some one legally his heir may turn up and demand hiB own and the money from the rental of the building. Ho is not in any very contented frame of mind about the business, but still he holds on because one has ever seen tit to dispossess him. In the meantime, the oid brown Hhell remains an eyesore on a very busy Btreetanda constant source of danger to the surrounding buildings because of its inilamma bdity. An army officer to day gave mo tho origin of tiie word "dago," which we hoar so often applied to tiio Italians, Portuguesu and who come to this country. He said that Jack Tar is responsible for it.

After tho war many of the native sailors left tlie service, as they saw in it no chance of active work and welcomo prize money. On account of this defection, and the liability to fill the ranks by the enlistment of natives many foreigners were taken on. They werc. principally Italians, Portuguese, Spaniard a or a general mixture of them all. Nearly overy man of them had somewhere in his name the appellation "Saudiago." This the American con of the ships soon shoriened to Dago and n.ide that word instead of a nickname for indi 'idualH term to designate a whole class of A Delightful Spot Near Ridge wood Heights.

Cypress Hills Pleasure (Irntmils a Place for the Upper Residents of the City. The Historic Old Mill Reclaimed Prom Its Primitive Condition About Fourteen Years Aso. "Now that tho city has paid nearly 1200,000 for the site of a new park on itidgewood heights, it would be in order for tliem to purchaso Cypress hills said a well known Twenty sixth warder to an Eaolf. reporter yesterday. "It is a wonder to me that it was not thought of iu the first, instance." Tho park referred to is one of tho most delight, ful spots on Long Island, adjoins tho east end of tho proposed new park on Itidgewood heights, of which so much has been said aud written.

Bounded on the north by the Cypress hills road, on tho south by a high stone wall separating it from the now National and Jewish cemeteries; on tho east by a road known as the Out, and on the west by tlie grounds surrounding the Itidgewood reservoir. Cypress hills park, covering an area of sixteen and one half acres, possesses, with the exception of certain modern improvements, all the natural beauty that existed thero years boforc a white man ever foot in that section. On account of it being within ea3y reach of all railroads Cypress bids park has become a breathing spot for tho residents of this city. That this solendid piece of property was not included in the purchase of land for tho proposed new park was evidently an oversight on the part of those invested with authority. That it should have become part of tho new park everybody that knows he spot admits.

Thomas Jefferson once said that it was worth a trip from Europe to Harper's Irorry to Bee tho Shenandoah river empty into the Potomac. If Ui father of Democracy were in tke flesh to day, and would join some of the "big guns" who occasionally meet at the building which bears his name, on Court square, and from there, cliRperoncd by Superintendent Jako Lent, take a trip to Cypress hills park, he would say, without a doubt, that it would be worth a trip from China to tako ill the view that would meet his gaze from the Dlaco referred to. From the south aide of the park a lover of nature could sit for hours ad miring tne panorama that presents itself. The town lights at the highlands of Navesiuk are to bo seen plaisiy, while the floating villages in New York bay are worthy of more than a single glance. Canarsie village and landing are a much nearer view and can be seen very plainly.

In fact. it has been said that on a clear day Acting Super visor at Large Kiehard liaialoy can be seen, with the aid of a common field glass, walking among his constituents at that popular rosort. As if at one's fet, the historic "old mill," at the southeast end of tho Twonty sixth ward, though appearing near at hand, is a good four miles' drive from tho park to that part of the city line. Then to look closer, in the valley below, tho eye moots block after block of Queen Anne, Swiss and Amorican cottages, as line as are to be found in any part of the city. What a change from five years ago, when all of that property was tilled by the sturdy farmer A little further south one can see bay, with its channels looking like rivulots, and stretching away oft' to Itockaway Beach.

Naturally tiie thought uppermost it the mind is to imagine what acharming paradise tho valley must havo been when nothing but ai'm i'1's, farmheuses, fruit, Mowers and grain could bo seen for miles and miles. As stated above, Cypress hills park contains six teen and a half acres, half hind and half water. About fourteen years ago it was reclaimed from its primitive state by Joseph Batiaor, whu purchased the property, ienced it aud built a largo hotel on the Cypress hills road. He made many improve ments, bnt it was not until the presont proprietor. Charles C.

Wissel, obtained control of the place that tho park became known throughout the length and breadth of Long Island. It is the resort to day of 3onieof the best rifleshots in the United States, who have their regular practice days at the seven ranges, 200 yards each. Barney Walter, president of tho Zoettler rifle team, spends a ooddealof his time here, a do (i. Ziinnaer iranii. Michael Dorrler, Captain Charles llornev.

Frederick Koss, Dr. lioyken. William Hayes of Newark, Sergeant Thomas Dolan ot the Now York rifle team and other crack shots equally as well known. Wissel himself is no novice with the rifle. He is a thorough Brooklyn boy aud was boru in this city in February, 1 855.

He was alwars fond of gunning aud has killed deer iu every state of tho Union. From that fact alone ho is called Deerslayer by his frionds. He is a genuine sportsman and is proud of the fact that he has never yet drawn a bea 1 on a deer while the animal was in the water. Every year he pays two or three visits to tho Adirondaoks and. ac companied by Johnson Turck, the oldest guide in that region, spends a week or so at hi? favorite sport.

One room in the hotel is filled with trophies of the chase. At the southern undo: tho park stand the ruins of what is known the old Stone Fort. Two of the main walls and a large por tion of the east wall are still standing, but tho west wall is entirely gone, as is also the roof. When tho fort was built no one seem i to know, and oven tho oldost settlor in the neigborhoorl will tell yon that the old ruin was there when he ot there. Prom this point and running to tho north is the lake, covering about eight and a aereB of land.

Half way across is the mnsula, tlie water on both sides almost meeting about four hundred yards back from the point. On this pcninsnla are innumer able chairs and benches where can sit and enjoy the shade and the cool breezes, while watch ing the sinnll boats and their occupants skimming over the water. Running from tiie west side of the peninsula is a bridge connecting it with' the ifle range. From this view one can see the high wall of the llidgowood reservoir. Further north in the park is the pistol range, and east that are the b.g pavilion and music stand and boat house tiio south end of tiie pavilion, which is 05 br 1 50 feet, is the diningroom, and under it are four bowling alloys.

So that when tiie new Itidgewood park hid out and ready ts receive visit ors one wilt merely have lo step across an imaginary boundary line and spend an hour or so at bowling, shooting or boating, as may be.
