BaSr The strike among the coal miners at
Pittsburgh has become general along the
Monongahela, and is extending up the Yong

riots or breaches of the peace which too
often accompany these struggles of labor
against capital are exhibited in this case,
but all their meetings are quiet and orderly.

nsiy- Christmas and New Years both fall


ing on Sunday this season, tho days will be
celebratedo on Monday This being the case,
the following which we copy from the Phil
adelphia Ledger, viii be interesting to bank
ers and business men !:
The fact of the next Christmas and New
Years coming ON Sunday, the usual holiday
celebration will take place the succeeding
Monday. The fact is causing somo little
anxiety as to financial arrangements, and
especially to notes, drafts, etc, maturing on
that day. AS Monday will not be Christ
mas day, it does not como within that pro-
vision of law in some States, which extends
the exemptions in favor ofSunday TO such
holidays as Christmas, Fourth Of July, etc.
ne Journal Of Commerce thus enumerates
ONE of the difficulties that present them
elves ia reference to maturing notes and
ills of exchange If the day OF payment
al on Monday, and the bank is closed le-
ally, the payment can be enforced on the
revious Saturday, or the paper protested.
sa rule, most of the merchants will pay
nch obligations on the Saturday, in the alb
tence OF a legal enactment; but if the note
not paid on Saturday, it cannot then be
potested and If not presented and payment
dmanded on Monday, will the endorser be
l9lden, and the protest (made on Tuesday
h legal? 1t is clear, we think, that where
the payment falls due on Monday, and the
Cate is not anticipated (as it should be) by
amyment on Saturday, the bank will be
bound to employ a notary to make demand,
ard under refusal, to issue protests on Mon
dly The general operations of the bank
may be suspended, however, and tho busi-
ness left in the hands of a single clerk and
a.: h. H.
adopted by the New York banks.
There is another point not SO easily settled.
In the cases above noticed, the merchant can
save himself and the bank all trouble by pre-
paying his notes on Saturday Not so with
sight drafts forwarded to the banks for col
lection. These the merchant cannot antici-
pate, and can make no previous provision to
cover. If all of his notes are paid on Sat
urday, and his store or Office closed on Mon
day, so long as that is not a legal holiday,
the bank or other collecting agent may call
with n sight draft and finding no ono to
meet the demand, must for his own security,
issue a protest. Heretofore, the rule with
most of the banks has been to hold over
their correspondence unopened, thus cutting
off all opportunity for difficulty with their
city customers. The question is then pre-
sented ifa draft thus lying unopened should
not be paid on its presentation tho next day
will the bank be responsible for neglect o.
" due diligence z" This our most expe-
rience,l bank officers have been unable tc
decide TO their satisfaction. Most of then
heretofore have concluded to run the risk
and not open their letters. A few prefer
red to err, if at all, on the side OF prudence
have kept clerk to make, nominal de
mand and protest all sight drafts not paid
bat have retained the protests and destroye,
them upon payment OF the obligation on tn
succeeding day.

A BEAUTIFUL LITTLB CLERGYMAN.-Dr.
Cumming, whsse last publication, ''The
Great Tribulation, is at present creating
an excitement in the literary world, is thus
described in late English review
' His singularly handsome person, his
brilliant flow of poetic thoughts, his striking
talents, and his burning zeal, combine to
make him one of the most interesting spea-
kers of the day Mr.. Cumming is very
small in person, not exceeding five feet four
or five inches in hight with slender and
graceful figure. His face is one of the most
beautiful have ever seen, for he is alto
gether too dinlinutive to be called strictly
handsome His hair is of jet black, with
a soft waving curl upon it; lis complexion
resembles alabaster, with deep damask col
or, his forehead is high and finely formed,
and his eyes are concealed by invisible spec
tacles. His nose is acquiline, but not very
large, and the lower part OF his face is as
perfect as that of some Greek statue, with
the addition Of beautiful teeth. Altogether
he is what his countrymen call very /" bon
ME chief, and he would really be iucompa-
rable wcre he only magniicd. His manner
is very unassuming; he never puts himself
forward, but remains behind the other spea-
kers. While silent he has all the meekness
Of tractile chief; but when he speaks he
displays all the vigor and energy ofa young
eagle"

A Baby Among the sharks.

While the passengers of the disabled
steamer Quaker City were being handed up
the side of the bark Dunbarton, n heavy sen
was running, and it was with the utmost
difficulty the ladies could be gotten on board
This was finally effected, and then All inno-
cent little nursing whose mother had en-
trusted il to the rough hands of the honest
tars, was handed up. The little thing was
too little and tender for their hard palms, and
they sung out from the boat to those above
TO catch the "little one, and the next mo-
ment score of arms were outstretched, as
it was lifted growing against the gunwale.
Alas all hands missed it, and it fell back
into the sea among tho sharks-every eye
was strained, the pulsations of the heart
were stopped, and for a moment all were
paralyzed; but this lasted only for an in
stant, the sturdy arm of one of the gallant
boats crew had grasped the dear little one
by the leg, and as he lifted it aloft cheer
saluted its appearance.

The mother OF the child now went into
strong convulsions and the infant was
passed into the arms of Mrs Davidson; while
resting there beautiful land bird hovered
for a moment over its little form, and then,
as if to assure itself that it lived, perched
upon its dress, and hoped and chirped in
the concert with the growing of the babe.
The bird then jumped to the seoulders of
Mrs. Davidson, thence to the shoulders of
Ar. Davidson. who was near, and then took
final farewell Of the bark and rescued pas

Wholesale Clothing House.
EMV EN- FsE.4RS 100, TIE HsHOER "


IN Clothing trade of the West was comparatively
of small amount, and confined almost eXclu-
sively to a retail business i'll the larger towns and
cities alone. Now this line of Goods has become
almost Indispensable part of the stock of every
general Dry Goods store from the crowded city to
the cros5-road stand. Like all changes in trade,
however, this one has not been produced except for
the best of reasons. Among these the great
saving of material by cutting large quantity of
garments tOgether-the superior work ana speed of
sewing machines in manufacturing-th great
ing OF time in waiting for your turn at the Tai
lor's-the uncertainty of then getting salts
factory ''it' and above all the saving of least
ohs-hdLf the cost OF the garment in the price. For
a number Of years this has OnlS been part of our
general Dry Goods business, but have made
arrangements to devote our whole house eXclu-
sively TO il alone with such lines of Notions and
Furnishing Goods will be necessary and desirable
in that trade. Believing that the true interest of
the trade will be to sustain in this enterprise,
would especially announce that we now have
hand one of the largest and most desirable
stocks of WELL MADE CLOTHING that was
offered to the trade of the West.
We respectfully solicit call from all old
friends and the trade generally. We charge moth
ing for shoteHg goods, and not much if you buy
them We are prepared to sell to all prompt time
buyers low as any house in the trade. A liberal
discount also made all cash sales.
