Gibraltar and Ceuta.

Admiral George Grey, of the Brit
ish Navy, who was for ten years
captain of the port of Gibraltar,
writes to the London Times advOca-
ting a cession of that fortress to the
Spaniards, provided the latter will
give Ceuta, a seaport on the opposite
African mainland, to England. Glib
raltar, he says, is exposed to south
west gales, and has no wharfage, and
is therefore of no Use in time of war
either for coaling, refitting, or refuge,
the only safe anchorage being COM
manded from innumerable points; !;
while in time of peace it would be as
useful in Spanish hands as it is now.
Ceuta, on the other hand, by the
construction of a breakwater, might
be made valuable harbOr, and more
over, could be attacked only by sea, a
great point in its favor. Ceuta, now
belonging TO Spain, Is situated in
Morocco, seventeen miles southwest
of Gibraltar. The castle occupies the
highest point of a mountain, the
ancient Abyla, and one Of the pillars
of Hercules, the rock of Gibraltar
being the other pillar, Calpe. 1t is
situated at one extremity of penin-
sula, and at the other extremity, on Il
narrow peninsula, is built another
strong citadel. Between the two is
the town. Ceuta resembles Gibraltar,
with the additional advantage Of
being well supplied with water, and
for this reason could be made i'm
pregnable. 1t was captured from the
MOors, in 14I5, by King John, of
Portugal, passed into the possession
of Spain in 14S0, by the union of the
two countries under Philip H., and
was retaiued on the separation effect
ed in 1910 by the House of Braganza.

A Man Tied TO a RingbOIt in His Office
and Robbed in Broad Day.

From the Boston Transcript, February q
A queer robbery is reported to have
been committed upon Mr.. David G..
SissOn, Treasurer of Post Fifteen,
Grand Army Republic, yesterday.
Mr.. SissOn'sstoryi is substantially as fol-
lows: He had Just entered his Office in
the headquarters of the Post, in the
third story of the building at the
corner of Lucas and Washington
streets, at ii o'clock A. NJ, when a
woman, who had evidently followed
him up the staircase, accOsted him,
and in the manner usual with appli-
cants for relief asked for aid. After
hearing her story Mr.. SissOn conelu-
ded that her case did not come under
his eOgnizance as Treasurer Of the
Post, and informed her that he could
not aid her. As she went out he
requested her to shut the door, which
fastened with a dead latch. Whether
the woman shut the door or not Mr..
SiSson says he was 10 busy TO notice;
but in less than five minutes he was
seized from behind around the neck
by the strong hands of man who
had entered Unperceived, with the
remark in q subdued tone, 1--WE got
you" The Treasurer says he resisted
as he best could, but was so chOked
that he could not utter cry until
dragged to a ringbolt in the floor of
the anterOOm, where, placing a re-
volver ut his head, the assailant told
him that if he made noise he would
''put his light out" The man then
produced a rope about the size of
small clothes-line, and secured Mr..
SissOn by the neck to the bolt. He
then went to a small box, wherein
the Treasurer was in the habit Of
keeping the Posts funds, and, after
examining the several envelopes in
which different moneys were inclOs-
ed, obtained about S400, which he
Poeketed- He then returned to his
prisoner, and took from the iatter's
pantalOOns pocket a wallet contain
ing his private funds and other
valuables, amounting, in the aggre-
gate, to about 500, and deliberately
left, with the remark, as if addressed
to an accOmplice in the entry, "Well,
Pete, shall we meet at the same place
tonight 2" Though the rObber had
once before, during the operation,
spoke as though somebody was in
hearing, Mr.. Sisson says he heard no
response nor footsteps, and saw no
other person. The victim was left in
the position above described, with his
head so near the floor and the rope so
tight around his neck that he could
make but very little noise. In this
position he was compelled to stay for
more than an hour, not having been
able to make himself heard by peO-
pie on the ground floor; and finally
released himself by persistently
gnawing at the rope, which at last
parted. The affair has been placed in
the hands of the detectives, State and
city. who are engaged in consider
ing" it. Mr.. SissOn thinks he should
be able to fully identify his assailant.

Matrimonial TiRs.

Some slanderer of the fair sex
writes of matrimonial infelicities as
follows:
Husbands ESPECIALLY when new to
their happiness) are often puzzled to
know what makes the angel cross,
and, to Use an expensive term, can
tankerOUs. They ask the cause, but
they are fenced off until a chance
occurs for treading on their eOrns, and
then the shindy commences in real
earnest. \ lady of this delightful
complexion Is completely happy /.
she can wind up with a good cry.
The dear creature diSsolves into tears
and the man feels himself at once q
brute. This is her revenge. There is
nothing now for the husband but
absolute submission, and a tull
acknowledgment of his being in the
wrong. A woman has lost her ground
forever who fails in her object when
she has recourse to her pOekethand-
kerchief. and to a display of swollen
ewes and n red nose. Few, however,
are stupid enough to play this card
until their adversary becomes dis
gusted with the trick; it is generally
kept back until the right time, and
then used with a vengeance. Women
with tempers are much more tOlerable
than women without. They possess
both action and spirit, while the
tame, eQuable, eOlorless creature has
neither. A landscape seen in perpet-
ual sunshine or mOOnshine would be
dull il is a relief to see it from time
to time stirred by the wind or in the
light of flushed angry sunset. Is
this the reason why poets so often
marry shrews? Is it probable that q
lady who becomes conscious that heI
husband is analyzing her would, out
of sheer spite, give him something to
speculate upon of hard and practical
descriptiOn-she would cross his TO-
mantle vision on a brOOmstick, or
worse again, fit over his brain with u
poker. TiffS are not sufficient causes
for separation, although they may
lead to the most plenary reasons fol
parting. We should think that in
most instances when they do, the
fault lies with the husband. Marriage
is q science, or, rather a fine art
There is scarcely any woman who
could not be reduced by good system
and discipline to an endurable line OF
conduct. Whether every woman
would be worth the trouble of such Q
training is quite another question
but, undoubtedly, to the man who is
married there is no more important
task to take in hand. 1t requires
judgement, cOolness, and just little
clever cruelty. The slightest sign OF
weakness land bullying, mind, is q
vulgar admission of ineapacity) will
spoil the entire operation. Rough
ness of any kind is, indeed, most
undesirable, and is only the weapon
of clumsy refOrmers. Mild irony and
satire, with the chill of, is much
more effectual.

Sudden Sickness.

Another of the humorous incidents
of the war comes to US from Jack
sOnville, Florida, from one whose
duty it was, by the aid of two
honorable drum-sticks, to call the
armed hosts together for battles:
"While stationed in Louisiana, +"
says our rub-a-dub, ''I went out one
day, taking my drum, and returned
to camp with it full of poultry, slung
over my shoulder. Passing Major
Ms tent, where two or three
officers were lOunging he said /:
Frank, beat the First Seargent's
call. What could / dOi While CO.
gitating about it, the Major stepped
out evidently annoyed at my delay,
and coming close to me, repeated,
DO you hear sir? beat the First
Sergeant's eallr Being a pet of the
Majors / thought I'd tell the truth ;
so leaning over, whispered: I've
three or four hens in my drum, and
one is for yOu.' The Major smiled,
and said, with a wink: Oh! your
sick are you ?-well, ,ohy didn't you
sdy so? Call one of the other drum
mersl-which l did. The Major had
pullet for dinner.'-Hdrpsr.

about two thousand bushels per day,
which they ship either by Canal or
Railroad. Mining is soon to be COM
meneed on the lands at Conesville,
which is in close proximity to both
Canal and Railroad.
In the above brief mention Of the
doings of the respective companies
we convey but q faint idea of the
magnitude and the importance which
is Of late beginning to attach to the
coal interests of Coshocton county
The coal in these mines is ineXhaus-
tible, being double veine6. The up
per vein Al feet in thickness, is COM
posed Of the finest quality of bitumi-
nous coal, and for steam and fuel is
exeelled by no coal in the United
States. The lower vein 81 feet thick,
is situated about forty feet below the
upper vein, and is particularly val
liable for smelling iron. There is also
a vein of camel coal two feet in thick
ness, of the very finest quality for gas
manufacturing purposes. Allowing
one yard square for each ton, there are
49,O03, 300 tons, or at so pounds per
bushel, there are l. .225, ,0T5, 900 bushels
of coal in these mines. At four cents
profit per bushel, S49, ,OOO,OOO may be
realized from them.
In the inexhaustible amount Of the
mineral; in the facility with which
it is worked; and in the means of
transportation, these coal interests
possess more elements of successful
competition in the coal business, than
any other location in the west. There
is no safer or more reliable business
than that of mining coal. When, as
is the case in these mines, you have
good quality of coal, then is it a mat
ter of the simplest calculation and
positive certainty, whether money is
to be made or lost by investing in it.
The cost of mining and transpOrta-
ton are definitely known, and the
selling prices are ever at hand.
The above data are matters of absO-
lutte certainty and are petent to every
one who will make personal exami-
nation of the territory.
To Mr.. CHRISTY, more than any
or all other men, are we indebted for
the development of our coal interests,
and right glad are we to know that
he is already reaping rich harvest.

The LONG TO-nORRow.

Old age that strains the web of life,
And checks that shuttle-s eager PAGES.
Brings rest from all the world 5 vain strife,
And leaves an old man Ia Oldfaces;
And still my heart beats warmly yet,
Although grandchildren play before me,
And can easily forget -.4l
That eighty summers have passed DER me.
Sweet maiden with the downcast eyes,
To whom my grandson gaily ehatteTs,
And treasurers up the low replies
You make on many foolish matters;
/ wonder, when a dearer name,
He whispers through those shining treSSes.
If You'll believe I've done the same.
And thralled a heart with my caresSeSl
And when my youngest Joined his ship,
SO fearful at the sad home faces,
SHRINK at his mothers Quivering lips,
The while he sighed for far-off places
wonder if he ever thought
had my dreams Of earth and glory;
But silvered hairs have sternly taught
The worth OF that heroic story.
And often in the May throng,
When little feet are lightly dancing,
And as each maiden whirls along.
The bOnny eyes give sweeter glanclns.
l sit apart and idly dream
That my fair youth is not departed,
And other hopes and fancies seem
To leave me far more tender hearted
Ny life's gay spring had many joys,
The summer brought me loves first roses,
The autumn gave me my brave boys,
wait until the winter closes.
Each season has in order brought
The mingled flowers of joy and sOrnow.
And many an earnes, lesson taught
And so wait the long tomorrow,

LAW OF THE ROAD.-PersOns meet
ing in carriages on the highway are
to turn out to the right of the centre
of the highway. 1t is not the centre
of the smooth or most travelled part
of the road, but the centre of the
worked part, even though the whole
smooth or travelled part be one side.
In winter, however, when the road is
obstructed by snow, the centre of the
middle of the beaten path. The stat
ute requiring carriages to turn to the
right does not apply to the meeting oil
a carriage with a horse car, nor with a
traveller on horseback. A traveller on
the highway is bound to have his har-
ness and carriage in a roadworthy
condition, and is liable for any dam
age to others Occasioned by INSULT
cheney in this particular.

Willie came up to my window
Look, mother! the skies are 6lne;

Sings Just as il used TO do.
"Come ont where the sun will warm you

His lips were all stained with blue,
His hat in his hand,-"Dear mother,
Here's something so nice for you!
I've been with the men in the meadow.

SELF DEPENDENcE.-Many an un-
wise parent works hard, and lives
sparingly all his life, for the purpose
of leaving enough to give his child
rem a start in the world, as it is called.
Setting young man aflOat with mon
ey left him by his relatives, is like
tying bladder under the arms of one
who cannot swim; ten chances to one
he will loose his bladders and go to
the bottom. Teach him to swim, and
he will not need the bladders. Give
your child good education. See to
it that his morals are pure, his mind
cultivated, and his whole nature sub
servant to the laws which govern
man, and you will have given what
will be of more value than the wealth
of the Indies. You have given him a
start which no misfortune can deprive
him of. The earlier you teach him to
depend upon his own resources and the
blessings of God, the better.
