It is his intention to re-eppoint men who meet hia views.

Severe shocks of earthquake weie experienced at Berne and Geneva, Switzerland. The extent or nature of the damage done has not been reported. It is reported from various points of Long GENERAL HEWS. DOMESTIC. The printed report ol the agricultural department, giving the condition of the various crops, as shown by the June reports, is just out, and contains a few points concern-ins; wheat not given in the Bynopsis furnished on the 10th mot.

it is stated that thegeneral average condition of sixty-two for winter wheat is the worst official showing since 18ti8. Jn 18S1 it was 74 and 75 in lbc3. while in the great crop year of 1880 and 1882 it was 93 in Jane. From a close study ot the returns it is certain that a large portion of the reduction in area is discounted in the returns of condition, yet in a few Httua it is evident that further allowances must be made for unanticipated destruction ot area by Future conditions or misconceptions of present appearances, or both together are not likely to change the total wheat crop of the country more then ten million butbels above or below the estimate given of 300 million buahete. Still disasters prior to harvest, or wet weather afterwards, ruitht possibly make a greater reduction.

Sufficient to the day however, is the evil thereof. There is a United States flag at the war cepartment, at Washington, the history of which authorities know nothing, xept it was found in the confederate war department and is marksd with the name ot the fifty thiid hhnoiu volunteer infantry. The fl ehows evident gns ot hard fighting in its neighborhood, lor it is pierced in many places with bullets. Ballet holes pie-ce through the starry part and in places in the ntnpes are giping holes where pieces of shells have torn their way. There is no flag stall attached; the loir's are deeply stained with broad stripes of blood, hinting that some gillant color sergeant had tern it from tne staff and foldsd it way in his own breast toaive it from capture, and had poured out his own life blood on the flig he bad sworn to defend.

Perhaps this paragraph may meet the eye of some one who cu tell waere and now it was captured, lor the war department does not know. There has just been piaceu hi the national museum at Washington, what is known as the Ayrshire life car, the invention and property of the venerable Joseph Francis' known all the world over as the inveutor of the Francis life boat other life-saving appliances, 'the car is the one that was used at the wreck of the B-itish ship "Ayrshire" forms of nitrogen. The former occurs in sulphate of ammonia, and the latter in nitrate of soda. About 17 parts of ammonia, or 66 quarts of pure sulphate of amo-nia, contain 14 parts of nitrogen, while 85 parts of pure nitrate of soda contain 14 parts of nitrogen. The Mirror and Farmir gives the following synopsis of the system of manure-saving, to which a very successful New England farmer ascribes his success.

He keepseleven cows and a horse, breeds of pigs and poultry, on less than nine acres of land: "Fowls are kept for their eggs and meat; are kept in confinement, and made to help pay part of their expenses in compositing and fining the horse manure; thus they get the exercise they need, and the horse manure is improved. The droppings from the roost-room are husbanded and saved in barrels, and sold or used on the land. The stable manure and all waste goes into the cellar and covered swine pens, where it is well worked by the pigs. Absorbents are used wherever needed, and thus all liquids are saved. The pigs are made great helpers in the manufacture and manipulation of manure.

The cows kept are selected solely for their milkipg qualities. The owner believee in good feed, and grain is purchased and liberaly fed. The cows get generous rations of hay, grain and roots, are kept in fine condition, and yield large quantities of milk. If a cow does not come up to the standard at the pail she is fatted, sold to the butcher, and replaced by another purchase. The cows are not forced to their utmost limit, but are so fed that they will do well at the pail for a term of years.

Grass and roots are the principal crops grown." The Famous Itotr Dam. On the 30th of last January the sisters of the most noted Catholic seminary in the United States, the famous Notre Dame, at Govanstown, near Baltimore, made public ft card, certifying to the beneficial results attending the use of Red Star Cough Cure in that institution. They state that they found it efficacious alike for relieving coughs, oppressions of the chest and irritation of the throat Officials of the boards of health of Brook-lyn, Baltimore and other cities have likewise publicly proclaimed the virtues of this new discovery, which is entirely free from opiates, poisons and other soft soap, 4 pounds; water 50 gallons. Boil the tobacco and dissolve the other agents in a few gallons of boiling water, retaining a temperature of about 70. The above will suffice for fifty sheep.

There is a strong feeling in various portions of the United States in favor of the total abolition of fences. It is stated that the cost of the maintenance of fencps annually in this country is not far short of $80,000,000, a pretty Bnug sum if it might be saved to the farmers. It is estimated that are 6,000,000 miles of fencing in all this nation. Cucumbers intended for pickling purposes need not be planted till July. The land for them should be such aa has been well cultivated the year previous, and the manure should be fine and well rotted.

In order to guard against the attacks of birds and insects an excess of seed should used, thinning out the extra plants after they are up. In feeding potatoes or roots to stock it should be borne in mind that such food is not perfect Although adding bulk, which is necesaary.somothing more concentrated, such as meal, bran and oil cake, should be given. For cows hay should also be allowed plentifully. Root crops are used more for dietary purposes than for their actual feeding value. Many young chickens are killed by being fed too much water with their meal, and especially if corn meal is fed, which is very concentrated food.

wet masses are compacted in the stomach so that they cannot be well digested. If corn is fed it is better for young chickens if broken into small pieces and fed dry, but wheat without breaking is better still. The usual practice is to shear sheep in June, after the weather becomes warm, but the custom is growing to shear about April 1, in order to give as much time as possible for the fleece to grow. before the fairs. Unless such flocks are' provide'd with warm, dry quarters the early shearing is risky, as diseases are often the result In feeding skim milk alone its digestibility and nutritive ratio are improved by adding a pint of oil-cake meal.

It has a large percentage of crude fibre and oil especially the old process meal. It is well to use this regularly with any of the grain feeds. It is corrective, also nutritious, and assists in preventing inflama-tion of the bowels. A Pennsylvania farmer last year sold over $0,000 worth of potates from twelve acres. He fertilized with a compost of hard wood ashes and oyster-shell lime, plowed deep, planted medium sized, well formed, uncut potatoes, three f.

Parson, what do the scientific men call the 14-year locusi?" "Properly speaking, they are not lo-cubts, but cicada. The Kansas people are right when they call their big red-legged grasshopper a locust." "Was it that grasshopper that John the Baptist ate?" "Yes, 'twas a species of that gentis." A War Reminiscence. A rather interesting storv of the war was told by Joseph R. Perry, at the national convention of soldiers, which was held in Indianapolis last summer; but, as the reports of the session were necessarily abridged, it escaped- publication at the time.

"It was some time in the summer of Perry said, "that the 21st Ohio regiment was down in West 'irginia, in the Kanawha region. The regiment was composed of men gathered up promiscuously in the Black swamp region of Ohio. There were one or two companies oi gray-haired men, too old too bear arms, who had gone into the service to fight for a principle not merelv to put down the rebellion, but to emancipate the slave. They were very religious, and they would hoid prayer-meetings at night. They would pray for the freedom of the slaves, and that the negroes might have equal rights with the white people.

Their prayers were very interesting ti us young fellows who wculd go there to listen to them, because they weie asking for something more than the issue of the war promised at that time, but everything that these old fellows asked in their prayers came about afterwards, and it is out of thoe results that this incident I'm telling you about came to a conclusion. We camp ed one day near a little town called Bed Bank, on the Kanawha and after our coffee had been prepared we found that we hadn't a spoonful of sugar in camp. There were a lot of negro cabins over on the hillside opposite our camp, and I agreed to go over and try to get some sugar from the negroes. There was about thirteen cents in money in the whole camp, but I took that and started over with a tin can to get the sugar, I entered one of the cabins and found a buxom negro woman with two little pickaninnies hanging to her linsey dress. They drew olf into a corner of the cabin, half frightened when I went in, but I told them that they needn't be afraid; that I only wanted to get some sugar, and that I had the money to pay for 'I'se kindy feared you uns, said the negro woman; 'mastah told me not to bave anything to do with you Yan kees, 'cause you'segwine to take us off to Cuby and Bell us to get money to carry on the 'Mv good 1 eaid to her, giv ing her a little blarnev, becau-s I wanted the sugar, 'you don't understand what this war is about.

We Yankees are fighting for you, and if this war comes out the way we want it to, you will be free, and you won't have any master, and will bave all the rights that white people bave. Your little bov there will be sent to school, and he will have just as good a chance to become governor of Virginia as anv white boy. 'to' de Lord, you don Fay bo: she exclaimed. "I went on to tell her then about how the black people were just as good as the white, and bow they would be Den emeu if we were victorious. Before I quit talking she brought out an old can and gave me what sugar I wanted.

She didn't want to take the money, but told her that she better, and she ac cepted it. It W8S only an incident of the dav. and after I told the boys in camp how 1 got the sugar I thought no more about the matter. 1 bad lorgotten it entirely until about three years ago, when I was returning Irom the city bos oital one niuht, when the car stopped for an old negro woman with a nasKei oi clothes. 1 was sitting near the door, and helped her to lift the basket into the car.

TOipioc Oat the Color Line Tbe Sliady Side ot Washington Lire. Washincton, D.

June 15. The po lice, in taking the recent census of ash ington, stani tiled upon one lact regard- ing the population whicn was not pro vided for in the blanks, lhe discovery was made tlut nn-sceirenation is prac ticed here to the extent not heretofore suspected. There are, it seems, npward of eixty families in which either the hus band or wife ia tbe nt-ro. llipfe are all cafes where the ceremony has been du'y performed, and the parties are Pvmg to gether openly, in ow man nan oi in nu.nler the wife is the Caucasian. As to illtgaA unions, where whites and blacks are living together without cere mony, the police report that they mini ber hundreds.

One explanation oflered is that there is no law here against inter msrriage of races, and people who wish to live in this way come here from Mary land and Virginia, where miscegenation is prohioited under severe penaltv. The Washington Crvic to-night speaks of the surprise which the revelation will occasion right here in Washington. "The few caep," it says, "that have been rerenvd to in the public prints have come to light through the police depart ment, and the impression naturally prevailed that only weak minded white women or those who have lived a life of shame would take a negro for a husband. This ia not the case." It goes on to detail the results of an investigation by one of its rerjorters.wbo accompanied an officer to Xo. 215'J Ninth street and found turee white women in one house who had married colored husbands.

Two of the women were sisters. The detective was in search of information about a recent robbery that occurred in the house of a lady who had in her employs daughter of one of these women. The girl had been arrested and released as subsoil is not in a condition to take the water." a a stopping ot which seemed to them likely to result from the success of Arabi, and the anarchy which they feared would follow. The second was the existence of various treaties and engagements that bound England to Egypt, and in particular to the maintenance of the khedive, Tewfik, whom England had set np in place of his father, Ismail. The third was the idea that the welfare oi tne east generally was involved in the erection of English influence and authority, and that retirement from Egypt would be understood by the Mohammadan world as an abandonment of England's coreligionists.

The second of these was what mainly determined the action oi the Gladstone ministry. Mr. Gladstone declared in the most emphatic manner that England went to Egypt with no purpose of least of all, with any views of annexation, and that hia mission was merely to queu a revolt, re-establish order, and reinstate Tewfik. The main object of Mr. Gladstone's foreign policy always was to limit England responsibilities and tne spnere of her political action, and there was no charge so often or so warmly brought against him as that of being indifferent to the glory of Great lintam ana tne greatness of her empire.

It was announced that the English troops wouid remain in Egypt no longer than the errand of restoring order and reinstating Tewfik required, and that the chief aim would be to create sen-governing insti tutions under which the social and in tellectual as well as material development of the country might peaceably advance. However since these assertions, they were but coldly received. The "jingo" party wanted annexation, and a large section of the liberal party wanted permanent military occupation. the revolt of El Mahdi broke out in the Soudan, the ministry was met with a strenuous demand to assume tne direction of Egyptian policy concerning this rebellion. The English government, however, held back from committ ing itself either to a supersession oi Egyptian authority, or to warlike opera tions of its own.

Mr. Gladstone held that any action whatever would be con- trary to tne proieseion wim wnicn ne started, that he was going to leave the Egyptians to manage their own affairs. This course was harehly criticised by the leading London papers, and a motion of censure (wnicn lulled to pass; was proposed in parliament. Finally the government yielded to the pressure of opinion and the campaign against the mahdi followed, with the fall of Khartoum, the death of Gordon, and the evacuation of the British troops, all ot which is iresn in the public mind. Mr.

Gladstone's latest official work has been to conduct the negotiations between England and Kussia relative to tne settlement oi tne Afghanistan boundary line. A peaceful conclusion has been reached, and tbe articles of agreement are ready to be signed. Notwithstanding hia active life in politics, Mr. Gladstone has been an industrious writer on scientific religious, literary and political topics.and has pub lished several books, a large number of pamphlets, and has written many magazine articles. ERIE COUNT GIANTS.

Skeleton of Hen Ten Feet High Found In Cave. Philadelphia Time. "Why, this man was ten or twelve feet high!" "Thunder and lightning!" exclaimed farmer Porter in astonishment. The first speaker, who has won local dis tinction as a scientist, reiterated hia assertion. J.

H. Porter has a farm near North east, not many miles from where the Lake shore railroad crosses the iNew York state boundary line. Early this week some workmen in Mr. Porter's em ploy came upon the entrance to a cave nd on entenngit louna neaps oi human bones within. Many skeletons were complete and specimens of the find were pr ugtitout and exniDiiea 10 trie naturalises and archaeologists of the neighbor-hotod.

They informed the wondering bystanders that the remains were un mistakably those ot giants. The entire village ot was aroused by the discovery, and to-day hundreds of people from this city took advantage of their holiday to visit the scene. It was at hrst conjectured that the remains were those of soldiers killed in battle with the Indians that abound ed in the vicinity during the last cen- turv. but tbe size of the skulls and length of the leg bones dispelled tnat theory So far about 150 giant skeletons of power fti proportions have been exhumed and indications point to a second cave east ward, which may probably contain as many mo.e. scientists who nave ex- humed skeletons and made carelul measurements of the bones say that they are the remains of a race of gigantic creatures, compared with which our tal lest men would appear as pygmies.

There are no arrow heads, stone hatchets or other implements of war with the bodies, home of the bones are on exhi bition at the various stores. One is as thick as a good-sized bucket. TBE FOCRTKEN-TEAR LOCUSTS. An Old Farmer In West Virginia DUcovere That They are a Bleulng. St.

Albans. W. June 15. One of tbe numerous Billy Wilsons of America lives at St. Albans, W.

Va. A parson of that place, having learned that Billy had a locust theory of some interest, deter mined to interview him and write out the theory. He found Billy at home by a warm lire and in a genial mood. He had a large, well-formed head, and facial ines that indicate natural wit. He look ed like a man such as an intelligent leader of a doubtful expedition would keep near him for the benefit cf practical observations.

"Friend William," said the parson, "I understand that you have some theory about the fourteen-year locusts, and wish to write it up for your favorite pa per, the Sun, and hope you will give it to me. "Well, parson, did you never take any notice of the locusts yourseu "Yes. I have observed that the squir rels fatten on them, and become delight fill eating: that the chickens lay eggs so fast while they are in existence that tbe shells do not form with sufficient thick ness to preserve them, and but I shall soon make the impression on yon that am given to the habit imputed to preach ers, of thinking too much about some thing good to eat. 1 bad better remem ber that I am interviewing you." "It is curious, parson, to see the locust splittinz the bark ou a voung twig. Two little knife-like things are thrown out behind, and, as the insect moves along.

they cut a furrow in the bark that does not close np. Between the cutters the egg depositor works, dropping the eggs into the groove with more neatness id a the best corn planter places the seed in the furrow. The groove is never on top, but either under or on the side of the twig, which soon dies and falls to the ground. Here, as you can easily see, is the first benefit the forest gets from the locust a cutting back that all trees must have to perfect their fruit, enlarge the growth of their trunks, and keep them from overshadowing one another, liut it is after the locust gets to the ground that he puts in his best work for tbe trees. I have seen them dug up twenty feet nuder the surface.

1 think he con tinues to go down until he strikes wate rock or hard pan. When we remember that there are at least half a dozen to th square foot of surface we can see how much the ground is loosened and prepared for the roots of the trees by this little insect. And then think how tbe soil is prepared to abwrb the moisture necessary for the growth of the trees. But let us go a step further. I suppose the hole a locust makes in coming out of the ground is at least a Bquare inch.

When we recollect how innumerable the holes are, and their depth, I think we can see what became of the waters in former years that now dash into the river channels and give na such high floods. Cutting away the' foresta contracts the work of the locust, and the Peabody Graphic: J. P. Hall, the Emporia Holstien breeder, writes to C. F.

Stone that he has recently sold a two-days old calf, bred by Mr. Stone's imported bull Norman, to a Missouri gentleman for $250. The calf weighed when born 125 pounds. A sash and. blind factory is to be es tablished at Centralia.

1884 183 77J4 ii T6Vi 93j The Career of one of Fngland's Greatest xiipioimais and statesmen. "The risine bone of the stern and un bending tories," as Lord Macaulay called them when he was just establishing himself in the political and polemical world, William wart Gladstone, was born at Liverpool, Iec. 29, 1809. His father was successful merchant in the foreign trade. The son was first Bent to a private school near Liverpool, and from the age of 12 to 18 he was at the aristocratic and conservative preparatory school of Eaton.

In 1631 he graduated at Oxford with the highest standing in classics, philosophy, history, and mathematics. He had been brought no a tory. and he entered the first parliament after the reform bill parsed as the member of a "rotten borough," Newarkwhich was owned by the duke of Newcastle, the father of one of his university friends. His maiden speech was made in defense of his father, to whom reference had been made during the debate on tha abolition slavery in the est Indies. In ls34.

having been in parliament only two years, and being but 25 years old, Sir obert feel made him the junior lord of the treasury, and in the following year be was promoted to be under secretary of the colonies. In 1837 he made a lone and powerful speech in defense of the system or negro apprenticeship, and en- wreu tuts ecclesiastical iorum witn nia first published work, State and Its Relations with the Church." In 1S43, when not yet a free-trader, he resisted several attacks on the corn laws. In this year also he succeeded the earl of Kipon as president of the board ol trade. and in this capacity he brought in a bill regulating railroads which produced many beuehcial results. reel having introduced a bill increas ing the endowment of Maynooth college and establishing "godless colleges" in Ireland, Oladstone who was in the lu-ture to disestablish the Irish church and to attempt the establishment of an Irish Catholic university, found that HIS C'OKSCIESTIOUS St RVPLES ould not permit him to remain in the ministry, and he resigned.

But Peel's growing freetradeism caused a break in his cabinet, and Lord Stanley withdrawing Mr. Gladstone succeeded him as secretary of state for the colonies. This did not last lone. Shortly after this another conscientious scruple took him out of parliament altogether. The duke of Newcastle being, as a matter of course, a protectionist, Mr.

Gladstone found in 1546 that he was too far on the road to free trade to sit longer as the minion of that nobleman, and he resigned his seat. In 1837 he was elected member for Ox ford, and soon gave evidence of the liberalizing movement that was going on in his mind. His visit to Naples in the inter of 1850 had a marked influence in divorcing him from the Tory party. He went there on a vacation trip, but he lound more than half the members cf the legislative body in prison, and all the leading liberals under sentence oi death or subjected to confinement and torture. He spent the winter in investigating the abominations of King Ferdinand, and on returning to England exposed the horrors he had discovered.

reel died in and ins loiiowers were scattered. Mr. Gladstone joined neither the tories nor the liberals, but acted upon an independent role. in 1853 he entered the "coalition ministry under the earl of Aberdeen, becoming chancellor of the exchequer. He had won this place by defeating the Deroy- Disraeli ministry on Mr.

Disraeli's budget. He made a brilliant record as a financier, and first introduced the prin ciple of reckoning on the "elasticity of the revenue." uotn tne premier ana the chancellor of tne exchequer were opposed to the Crimean war. In consequence of a vote of censure on the management of the war the premier resigned, and was succeeded by Lord Palmerston, Mr. Gladstone retaining his ouice a lew weeks, when he followed Lord Aber deen, in consequence of the threat of an other attack on the ministry. In 1839 the Derby ministry as de feated on the reform bill devised oy Mr, Disraeli, and Mr.

Gladstone again be came chancellor of the exchequer nnder the Palmerston ministry that followea. The latter's budget in 1800 is regarded as a masterpiece of national bnance. it was during this administration that Mr. Gladstone MAISE DlS GREAT MISTAKE concerning this country. In low, at a speech at Newcastle, ho declared that Jefferson Davis had already created a nation.

He subsequently made an am ple confession of this blunder.

A year or so alter he had settled here, and became thoroughly convinced that Chase county was the place lor mm, he and his two brothers sold their ranch in Colorado for $225,000 cash, to the Prairie Cattle Co. On this ranch at one time the Jones brothers had upward of 35.000 head of cattle of their own, and something like 1,500 head of horses; After buying up all the land he could handle, Mr. Jones commenced the work of putting it in the bet possible shape, which he did, regardless of expense. The whole of it was put under stone fence that is almost rat-proof, and divided up into corrals, pastures, until the total measurement of this expensive fence reaches over thirty miles.

Williams was greatly distressed at her daughter, a dark malatto girl, having been locked up in a station houe on a charge of larceny. "I try to raise my children as respectable as any in the city," she said, and she looked around the room aflectionately at her five colored children while she caressed a 10 year-old colored boy in her lay. The children were very fond of their mother, and were also obedient and respectful to her. The house gave every evidence of being well kept and the children well cared for and comfortably dressed. Their education was also looked after, as some of them could read and write and the room was strewn with half-worn school books and elates.

Mrs. Williams did not teem to be at all sensitive of her colored connections. iShe said she had been married seventeen years, and came herefrom Hanover county about seven miles from Richmond, where her father was a well to-do farmer. Her family name was Melton. Her sister came here and married her present husband about eleven years airo.

Mrs. Johnson came here from Minnesota, and was also married here. They were married by the Rev. John Brooks, Rev, Alliert Eldridge and Rev. Mr.

Anderson, respectively. In answer to a question as to why she married a colored man, she said she found a man who loved and who would take care of her, and she was not going to throw herself awav on any common white man. The husbands of all these women were found to be in dustrious and kind to their wives. The portrat of Charles Sumner hung on the parlor walL BATTLE OF tiAINES" MILL. Final Effort of the Confederate to Break the i.

nion Line. From General Fiti John Porter's con tribution to tbe Ccnfury illustrated war series in the June number we quote the following: "As if for a final effort, as the shades of evening were coming upon us, and the woods were filled with smoke, limiting the view therein to a few yartU. theentmy again massed his fresher and re-formed regiments, and threw them in rapid succession againt-t our thinned and wearied battalions, now almost without ammunition, and with guna so foul that they could not be loaded rapidly. In preparation for defeat, should it come, ia 1 ported artillery in large force just in rear of our center and left, ready any emergency and especially to be used against a successful foe, even if his destruction involved firing npon some of our own retreating troops, as might bave been necessary. The attacks, thongh coming likeaseries of apparently irriais- tilde avalanches, had thus far made no inroads upon our tirm and disciplined ranks.

Lvc-n in this last attack we suo ces.sfullv resisted, driving back our as sailants with immense loss, or holding them beyond our lines, except in one instance, near the center of Moreil's line, where bv the fores of numbers and nn der cover of the smoke of battle our line was penetrated and broken, this at a point where I least expected it. This was naturally the weakest point of our line, owing to the close proximity of the woods held by the enemy. Under this cover they could form, and with lees ex po Ml re in time ana ground man elsewhere, an i launch their batallions in quick succession upon our men. I believe I had guarded against the danger by strongly and often reinforcing the troops holding this part of the line. Here the greater part of Met 'all 'sand Slocum's forces were used.

Just preceding this break, to my great surprise, I saw cav alry, which I recognized as ours, rushing in numbers through our line and the left, and carrying off with stidder fright the limbers of our artillery, then prepared to pour their irresistible fire into a pursuing loe. un no lniantry to tipport, and with apparent disaster be fore them, such of the remainder oi these guns as could be moved were carried from the field; some deliberately, others in haste, but not in confusion." India and America Compared. Gotial Vinavak Joshee, the destin- guiidied traveler from India, now visiting in San Francisco, was seen yesterday by a Cufl reporter, who asked his opinion of America, as compared with his native land. "Materially replied Mr. JoMiee "this country ia far ahead of ours, but thera are things that I am disappointed in.

There seems to be too much talk and too little accomplished. How, in India we do a great deal more than we say," In regard to religion, Mr. Joshee thought that it was too generally dis cussed in America. "We have fcut one religion, and everybody believes in it. We think yon as much idolaters as you think us.

When I ask a man here hy he goes to church, he says: 'To pass away the time just as he would go cut to the park and listen to the music. If you ask 5ne of my countrymen he con think it foolish to pray to stones and rocks, he will not argue with you, but would smile and think you a fool." Mr. Josbee thought America deficient in literature, but was surprised at the large circulation of the daily news papers. "India newspapers Lave a circulation of only about 8,000," he said. They are small pheets and are sold for much more than the large papers here.

They cost subscribers about t-0 a year." He was to learn that hoodlum-ism is essentially a San Francisco institution, and paid there was nothing the kind in India. Boys are brought np to obey their parents and to take care of them, even in preference to 'heir wives. "We can marry from one to a dozen women," he said "but we can have only one mother and one father, and we are taught to take care of them as long as they are on the earth with na." Mr. Joshee does not believe in education the maws, which, he thinks, unfits them for work in their stations. He also thinks that women should work and not walk the streets.

It wiil be remembered that he rather surprit-ed tha attendants npon the recent teachers' institute by hia views upon the education of women. Mr. Joehee retains Lis India headdress, and is an object of some curiosity as he wains about our streets. He ia here merely to see the country, and will shortly leave for the east, where hia wife is attending college. Though objecting to educating the masses, or allowing them to think on religions subjects, Mr.

Joehee does not deny that right to certain claeses, and is himself studying our institutions with much interest. Among the initituiions to be yet ltv cated is the Soldiers' Orphans' Home, for which an appropria'ion of ss appropriated.

The cages in which the volunteers were proceeding down to the bottom of the pit got struck in the shaft and it was two hours bt fore the party could get to Woik in the exploded mine for the mi-ting men. These who were rescued when the explodion occurred fled to the bottom of the shaft and they are ignorant of the fate of their companions. Another account of theexplosion says it occurred in the Clifton colliery. That there were 120 taken out, but 230 are still in the prison, and that It is feared most of them will perish. Later oispatcbes say that the explosion was msed by fire damp.

There were working in the mine 349 miners, lb'O of tbeae were at work in the level in which the explosion occurred. They are still in the mine and can't be reached, owing to messes of coal thrown down by the explosion. One hundred and twenty men before reported rescued, were taken out before noon. Gi eat excitement has been caused by the disaster. A labor riot of grave proportions took place at Brunn, Austria.

The trouble has brewing lor some time and grew out of the differences between the men and the factory owners about the year's labor. A settlement of differences has been amicably adjusted. The men struck, and great crowds ot people were gathered about the several factories, and violently assailed them with stones and other missies; windows were demolished at the excited people surged upon the factory grounds. The military were called out and succeeded at midnight in dispersing the crowds and restoring order.
