A Western Editor Describes Pitts
burgh.

A WESTERN editor thus describe
the effect produced by the numerou
foundries, iron works, etc, at Pitts
burgh, Pennsylvania
Pittsburgh people never have fresl
air, except when out of town. They
live on coal smoke and floating cinders
We inhaled seven ton. of coal the frs,

breathe smoke, eat smoke, chew smoke
and carry 1t loose in their pockets. II

burgh has been warmed or reached by
the suns rays. Once streak of sun.

ana fell like standing edition of the
Black Crook.
"The ladies use smoke and coal.dust
to protect their complexion. Little
boys and girls stand on the corners with
wet brooms and sponges to wash peo-
ple's faces for five cents. Everybody Is
Of color in Pittsburg. At the post
Office window the clerks distinguished
people by certain signs, 1t being i'm
possible to see their faces from the lay
ers of coal-dust and smoke. We saw a
little boy crying on the street because
he had lost his father, who was six feet
ahead of him, in all the blackness.
EVERY one wears mourning In Pitts
burg. A barber once went there to col

wives in Pittsburg unable to tell which

send children on errands, first writing
on their faces with thumb-nail or wet

knobs, and read by raised type.
A man once stood in his room with
the window raised-changed his shirt
nine times in four minutes, and only got
a clean one on him when the window
fell by accident and kept the smoke
out.
Meet 4 man with cold who has
been blowing his nose, and that organ
looks much like II burnt stump on each
side of which wood chuck has been
burrowing.
A man there accused his wife OF

She proved her innocence of so loyal Il

innocent into cistern with lantern
tied to his neck. The husband saw
dimly, recognized Saxon outline, clasp
ed his wife to his bosom, and held her
there so long In joyful embrace that the
little cuss in the cistern was drowned,
the lamp went out, and boy lost for
ever.
Bed clothes are unknown In Pitts.
burg-leave the window open and
sheets of smoke settle upon you like
newspapers from machine press
Some years since some snow fell into
the city from the cloud of smoke--the
smoke was not hurt, but the snow look
ed sick! Men carry lanterns to see to
shake hands. When looking at watch
to see the hour it is the fashion to light
a match. They make black broadcloth
by hanging SPIDERS web out till filled
with smoke, and use hot coal dust for
pepper. They roll the smoke, sweeten-
ed, cut into sticks, and sell it for licor-
ice."

A BRIGHT little girl, eight or nine
years old, who had heard much talk up
on the subject Of woman's rights and
woman's wrongs, came home one day

soft pressure of the other half OF thi
silver piece, for he still wore 1t next hi

"From Iowa, did you say, Mrs. I.y

From my uncle, Squire signet, VIII

"What part OF Iowa IL it that-.tha

"Datersville, L believe, near the Owas

sation branched off into some difrcren
channel. Bruce Medway had found ou
oil that he wished to ascertain on tina
one occasion.
"A token and summons to him
wherever he might be- Bruce remein
bered the words he had spoken two
years ago, and his loyal heart gave 6
great leap as the memory flooded il
with warmth and brightness.
"Cranberries ?--yes--I remember
'em," said old Squire Sigsct, biting the
end of his cedar pencil. "Crop was
uncommon good this fall old Cady's
da ter brought 'cm here to sell by the
peck"
To sell! Bruce began for the first
time to appreciate the tides of trouble
tn it had eddied round the serene little
islet Of Ernestine's heart.
"Where do they live-Mr. Cady's
family, mean?"
"See that ar old blasted pine down
in the holler: Wsll, just beyond there
road leads down past Cady's. Won't
stop little longer? Well, good eve.
min Squirrel"
And Bruce Midway walked down
through the orange twilight to where
the skeleton arm of the blasted pine
seemed to point to the light in a far.oir
window-walked TO meet the dearest
treasure Of his heart !
Through the uncurtained panes he
could see the tiny room all bright and
ruddy with CHEEKY fire-light; the slen-
der dropping figure sitting alone on the
hearth.stone with its golden shine OF
hair and tho thoughtful bend of its
neck. And he opened tho door softly
and went in.
"Tina!"
She put back her hair with both
hands, and looked at him as if she fam
cied herself under the delusion of some
spell.
"fou summoned me, and / have
come. Tina, my love, shall the old
time return to us once more: Shall we
be all the world to each other once
again ="
1t was full nine o'clock by the silver
studded time-piece Of the stars before
Bruce Midway rose to take his depart
ure.
"But tell me one thing, Bruce" said
laying her hand lightly on
his, as they stood protracting their
lover-like adieux on the door stone In
the frigid moonlight, "what did you
mean when you said ! had summoned
you"
He drew little hox from his breast
pocket, and smiling held up bit Of
silver.
"And wear its mate close 10 my
heart, Tina!'
"Bruce-surely that is not my half of
the coin ?"
at was your half, Tida."
And where did you find it %

dear in very romantic juXtayosi-
ton, however. You remember what /
said to you when we divided the silver
piece between us?"
As If Tina had forgotten ono wort or
syllable Of those old days!
The iron hand of time has swept away
all those tokens Of lang syne now. Mr..
Mcdway is II middle-aged, bald head

of her braids but she keeps

instruction was given, however, twas
we'll known to the Convention that he
had been favorably SPOKEN of by the
Democracy OF the LIST Congressional
District, 10 connection with the NOM
nation for Congress, for which posi-
ton he received the vote OF this coun.
ty, in the last Congressional Conven-
ton, before radical gerrymandering
had separated rs from the LIST District.
and the instruction Of our Convention
was given with the understanding
that he would probably receive the
nomination in his District for Con.
gress, and if that honor was conferred
upon him, that he would accept it,
make the race, honor his party, and
badly beat any Rad who would have
the temerity to run against him.
