The STORY OF A STRIKE.-Persons who
had occasion to visit the Schuylkill coal re-
glon at any time from May to August,saw all
about them the injurious effects of the min
ers strike. Tourists for pleasure, except
few hardy ones, Stunned the region as pesti-
lential. Trade having almost stopped, even
the adventurous commercial traveller, gave
the disturbed district the go Ly. Storekeepers
did barely enough business to live on. Hotel
proprietors were in despair at losing the rich
patrons who customarily came with every
summer to the breezy mountain tops or cozy
hooks where their hostleres were situated
On plazzas usually prOmenaded by opulent.
old Philadelphians, their buxom wives and
blithesome daughtere, sullen miners were
seated, aglow with fiery pototions from
abounding bars, and discussing their grieven-
ces with tiresOme iteration. The wives of
these idlers were wearing out their lives in
squalid houses, desperately striving to make
their scanty supply of food go the round of
brood of hungry children, aud the latter were
as tattered and dirty and pinched as the poor
little ones who fish through the cutters of
New York for living As the strike contin-
ued and the boarded earnings were with
drawn, dollar by dollar from the savings banks,
the peril OF actual starvation set in; and all
through.the richer adjacent county these wom-
en- begged Tor money and food to keep the
souls and bodies of their households together.
II the visitor, tired of contemplating all this
squalor and wretchedness, turned for relief to
the local newspapers that he found lying
about his inn, he there discovered new
cause of depression in the grandloquent ap-
peals of editors, column after column to the
miners not to give an inch, but to fight out
their battle to the last man and the last dol
lar. The same mcck-heroic sentiments were
enforced in strings of doggerel from strikers
with the gift. "The rest Of these infammatory
journals were mainly occupied with high
flown accounts Of the monster receptions ac-
corded to this or that well-fed and comforta-
BILE president of some labor union who had
been up to see the miners, and conjured them
by all that was sacred to starve rather than
yield. And they took these apostles of liber-

made clean back-down from their ultima
tum, and were glad to accept the terms that
the mining operators or owners gave them

SALT LAKE. A Salt Lake correspondent
Of the Philadelphia. Press gives the history of
the affair between Brigham Young and Rev.
DR.. Newman, of Washington, reference to
which has been made by telegraph. Briefly
it is as follows: In April last DR.. Newman
preached discourse in his own pulpit on the
question, does the Bible sanction polygamy,
In reply to Delegate Hooper's speech in the
House, defending the Mormon doctrine. 1t
found its way TO Utah, and Orson Pratt, one
of the twelve apostles, replied in the N. \.
Herald. DR.. Newman rejoined by the same
medium. Shortly after challenge appeared
in the Salt Lake Telegraph, addressed to Dr.
Newman, inviting him to come to Utah and
nreach the sermon In the tabernacle. The
Doctor accepted the challenge, and, with his
wife and a few friends, visited Salt Lake.
Here Brigham denied the authenticity of the
challenge, alleging that the Telegraph was a
Gentle newspaper for which the Saints
were not responsible. 1t appears, however,
that although nominally the property Of a
Gentle, the paper is edited by Elder Sloan,
and he was the author of the challenge
Brigham adopted this method OF evading dis
cussion; and DR.. Newman consequently made
his arrangements to preach for his Methodist

The Hon. q. r. Ruby.

This prominent Senator was born in New
York city, in 1S41, of New England parents.
His father was a citizen of Portland, Maine,
to which State young Ruby returned with his
parents in 1851, where, under her admirable
free school system he received liberal edu-
cation. In March, 1861, Mr.. Ruby went to
Hayti as correspondent of Boston paper,
THE Pine and Palm, edited by James Red
path). He was kindly received by the au-
thorities, and travelled extensively over that
beautiful island, for over eighteen months,
when he returned home. A new field now
opened before our hero The smoke of battle
had been driven inland by the gulf breezes,
and revealed the city OF New Orleans, under
martial law, and there thousands OF freed peo-
pie, who had been liberated, and in the sur
rounding country, had rallied under the Ma
tionsl flag for protection. The government
had freed them, and now they were bound to
feed, clothe, educate and protect them. The
great heart of the nation was moved TO
sense of its espOnsibility-fair women and
brave men offered themselves for the work,
and among the rest G. T. Ruby. In Janu-
ary, 1864, he arrived in New Orleans, and en-
tered at once with zeal and energy, into the
work of educating the freed people. He was
at once appointed principal OF a large graded
school of over eight hundred pupils. His
talents and qualifications were soon seen and
appreciated by Gen. Baird, who appointed
him travelling school agent for Louisiana,
where he became distinguished fer his great
and indemitable energy in surmounting diff
culties, in visiting and establishing schools
over large portion of the State.
The work Of progress and humanity ex-
tended 10 Texas, and in September, 1886, Mr..
Ruby landed in the Lone Star State, with the
olive branch of peace in his hand, determin-
ing to engage in, to him, the sacred cause of
educating the freed people of the State. But
his active mind and native energy soon
brought him prominently before the public.
On the reconstruction questions he soon be-
came an acknowledged leader, and was elected
a member Of the Constitutional Convention,
where he served with distinction. He was,
finally, IN 1869, elected to represent the Gal
weston district in the State Senate, and he is
acknowledged by all to be faithful to his con-
stituents. Mr.. Ruby is about medium size,
slight but compactly built, of light olive COM
plexion, and fine chronological development;
his mind is we'll cultivated. As speaker he
is deliberate; his words are well chosen, and
his periods nicely turned. When he speaks
the house listens with Difference. As deba-
ter he is fair and gentlemanly. He is well
posted in parliamentary usage, and in the
chair shows fair amount of executive ability.
He is prominently an industrious man: his
habits are irreprOachable; he is yet a single
man, and 1t his life is spared, we predict for
