He discovered money in nearly every
room, in the garret and in all sorts
of strange places. Ten dollar bills
were found between the leaves of
the family Bible. Money of all
kinds was discovered hid away in
old pots and tea kettles, in the gar

were found in the book-cases; other
sums were turned out of various
kinds of crockery pieces, and still

Fltty-Fonr Miners are Killed. After
Damp Causes a Frtg-btfal Explosion
In a Coal nine at iTylorstown,
Wales.
Cardiff, Wales, Jan. 28 The
residents to of Tylorstown, near here,
were terrified by a terrific reverbera
tion to-day, which shook the whole
town and caused the people to rush
out of doors wondering whether
they were being overwhelmed by an
earthquake.
It was Boon ascertained that the
conenssion was caused by an explos
ion in a neighboring colliery with
disastrous consequences to life and
property. ,
The latest report places the num
ber of dead at fifty-four, though ic
is feared that the further exploration
of the wrecked mine will result in
finding the bodies of more. Reports
of the number of killed have been
conflicting, and there is doubt as to
the actual number of men in the
mine at the time of the catastrophe.
The first reports gaye the number of
miners in the shaft at fifty, four, but
some of them escaped to the surface,
bringing the body of one comrade
with them.
The mining population of the lo
cality knew too quickly what the
muffled, thunderous rumble meant,
and rushed to the mouth of the pit
only to haye their worst fears eon
firmed. The sha't was entirely
shattered, and it was evident that
there was little hope that any of
those in the pit could have survived
the explosion. The despair of the
women who flocked about the mouth
of the pit was terrible.
The pit caught fire, and the hin
drance that this caused to the work

excitement and tension of feeling.
It was only through braving the ut
most peril that the living were able
to prosecute their quest for the dead.
The number of dead removed
grew rapidly, and with it the num
ber of bereayed families waiting at
the surface.
The work of explorating is going
steadily forward, but under, great
difficulty, the numerous caverns
making it impossible to reach re
mote portions of the mine, while the'
defective ventilation often drives
back those who are advancing on
their sad errand.
The last toome out brought with
them five bodies. None have been
found alive, and it ia not now hoped
that any will be. The explosion
was caused by after-damp.

A tribute to Dr. KlnKbnry.
Mr JUditok : I have been remem
bered in my hibernation do ffn here
wttii two of a series of critical ar
tides upon the great ebullient
Scotchman, Thomas CarJjl, from
the pen of my friend, Dr. Kings
bury. These articles display that
dignified and discriminating spirit
which marks all honest and respon
sib! e criticism. The pervasive qual
ity of intellectuality gives them a
wholesome interest. Profound re
spect for and earnest sympathy
with the great subject added to an
acutely analytical power render ihe
treatment masterly. Lest friend
fchip Bhould obscure my judgment
and admiration tmpt '.me to
effusive praise, I will refrain from
saying more of their transcendent
merit.
Yet I must say more in a general
way. I can but wonder at this mar
velous, manysided man. I know
not which most to admire, the dif
f csiveneaa of his information or the
purity, compactness and strength of
his style. Editor, dilettante and
savant, I am fond of comparing Dr.
Kingsbury with his venerable, yet
virile, contemporary, Dr. Charles A
Dana,in that the footsteps of both
are turned in the direction of uni
versal knowledge, Nothing which
transpires oi numan interest any
where, when brought to their at
tention, fails to impress thorn with
tnougntiul consideration. Wnat a
commanding outlook upon life these
two grand old men take. Politics,
literature, the fine arts, all ' of the
larger, as well as the smaller, affairs
of .mankind, are included in the
world they live and move in.
In many respects I would class
Dr. Kingsbury as the greater of the
two Without the cynicism of his
contemporary, life is always fuller
and richer and. more inviting to him
than to Dr. Dana. The intellect of
the one is genial, that of the other
glacial. The sympathies of the one
are as keen, as the wit of the other
is incisive. Uotn are bni'iant in
their way. Y6t oner is artless, the
other affected. One has the poise,
the other the pose Dr. Dana has
an alert sense of the ridiculous and
ia fond of sublimating it for the
sake of juxtaposition, Dr. Kings
bury is far too serious an 1 sincere
to ridicule the sublime or to make
the ridiculous sublime. Learning
and ambition in maturity are con
spicuous iu botn, consecration in
one and . common plaeeness in
neither.
What an augutit pair to different
tiateand contrast, yet to compare!
