A Troy JoURNEYMAN PRINTER
DRIVEN OUT OF S. ca young man
named Pasco, well known in Troy as
a former employee in the Office of the
Family Journal, and leading officer
of the Printers Association, a few
days since left this city and went to
South Carolina, where he had been
offered a situation in the Office of the
Charleston Mercary. When he reach
ed there he found it would be some
days before the work promised him
would be ready, and he was advised
to go out to a neighboring village,
where a printer was wanted, and where
he could be employed meanwhile.
This he started to do, on foot. On
the way he met two men in a buggy,
and enquired of them the route
They asked him whether he was
stranger, where he came from and
what was his employment. He told
them he was printer from New York,
and in the course of his remarks hap
pened to mention that he had once
worked on the Tribune. The men
asked him to get in and ride with them,
and took him before justide near at
hand, by whom he was ordered to be
locked up in filthy cell as an "Aboli-
tion emissarY" After remaining in
durance As hours, during which time
he was subjected to the most cruel
treatment, he was brought out for
trial. His friends from the Mercury
Office, who were present, represented
the fact that he was not an Abolition
list, and that they would be response
BILE for his good behavior. They were
allowed to take him on condition that
he should leave the State in "a hours,
otherwise he would be publicly logged
and locked up and fed on bread and
water for thirty days. Pasco had not
said one word on the subject of Slave
ry, or on politics in any form. His
only offence was that he had been
New York printer, and had worked on
the New York Tribune. - Troy

May, 1905, under pine tree, while
his father was telling the timber and
building log hut for the reception of
his mother, who predicted that, from
the circumstances of his birth, the
child would be in love with a wild life,
and find happiness only away from the
haunts of civilization.
In lS48 Adams joined the great ar
my Of gold hunters who left the Allan
tic States for the Pacific coast, and
for the ten years following passed his
time as hunter among the forests
and mountains of California. Here
he had numerous startling adventures
with the wild beasts who inhabited
the country, and, tanning a number Of
bears, brought them to San Francis
co, and was subsequently engaged to
exhibit them in New York by Nixon
and Barnnm. Fer several months the
exhibition remained on the lot corner
| of Fourth avenue Thirteenth street
where Nallack'a new theatre is now
building, and was visited by crowds
until the troupe started on a tour
through the Eastern States.

At the age Of four they pull an oar,
and the women work boats quite as
well as men, and few are without a
baby strapped to the back, and

but with pattern you may depend
upon fit. They have no originality
but can copy anything exactly, even

How TO TELL COOP CoAL.-A
writer gives some instructions to con-
sumers of coal, which will be of inter
est at this time Almost all coal has
bone in it. That is, it has Jumps
that cannot be burned, heap them in
the stove as you may and in bad coal
the proportion Of bone is very large.
Here is a great waste that somebody
has to bear the expense of How
shall consumers avoid it.? Attention
to the following rule will in a great
measure ensure a good article of coal
and the best is always the cheapest.
In proportion as coal has broad, fiat
pieces of dull, coal-dust look, it is
'bony' and worthless IF the Jumps
are smooth and of a shiny black color
and of shape appr oaching q square,
that coal is the sort to buy even if it
does cost little more. We will add
in addition that if in burning a good
article of coal the fire should happen
to go out, if the Jumps are taken out
and washed, they will burn much more
readily from this. treatment. With
much more 'bony' coal spoken of above,
however, will not avail ; it cannot be
made to burn again Examine the
