tioning as that, as our stock of coal cannot
last forever, we should do well to utilize the
thirty million tons Of small coal and dust
which is allowed to go nearly to waste an
nually at tthe pit mouth; and attention is
drawn 70 what Belgium is doing in this mat
ter. Near Charleroi, eight hundred thou
sand tons of coal dust had accumulated. a
burden to the colliery owners, and an injury
to the health Of the work people. Where
upon a company was formed expressly to
utilize this refuse. The coal dust is sifted
mixed with eight per cent of coal tar, heated
to paste by steam at temperature of
three hundred degrees, and pressed into
blocks and cylinders about twenty pounds
weight. These blocks form excellent fuel
for locomotives and steamboats,. productive
Of great heat and very little ash. In various
foreign countries where paving stone is
scarce, the Stag from iron furnaces Is brought
into use, by being run into pits eight or
nine feet in diameter, and cooled in slabs
for paving. The cuttings of tin plate, and
worn out tin kettles and saucepans. are sub
Jected to processes which yield pure tin,
good weldable iron. ammonia, Prnsian blue,

tin plate in England and Wales amounts to
more than half a millions tons annually,
there must be very large store of material
available in the old tin plate which is re-
placed by the new. The waste fax, such as

II. RuCHER sMoopE. ESQ.

President Grant, on Monday last, sent in
to the Senate the name of II. Bucher
Swoope, Esq, of this place, for United
States District Attorney for the Western
District Of Pennsylvania
This appointment is well deserved. Mr..
Swoope is not only frst-class lawyer, pos
sesing the ability to discharge the duties Of
the offce so as to promote the best interests
of the Government, but be has been a zeal
Gus, earnest, and most eloquent advocate of
Republican principles. For many years
past, especially, during the dark years Of
the, war. he canvassed the State in behalf
of she Republican party, and his eloquent
appeals, cogeut arguments and untiring ef-
forts, contributed largely to the success Of
our candidates.
Mr.. Swoope was born in Huntingdon
Pa, in 1881, aud is now thirty eight years
ofage. He received thorough classical edu-
cation, studied law with Hon. John Scott,

THE PARAGUAYAN WAR.

Do those who are accustomed to speak
sightingly of the Paraguayan war ever re-
feet upon the misery beyond telling, which
has fallen upon that people, not upon one
nor many, but upon all? There were nine
hundred thousand people there FIVE years
ago; two thirds of these have fallen BY
famine, disease and battle; and, should the
war continue, the whole race will perish.
Five years ago they were prosperous and
progressive, building railroads and telegraphs
and ships, and improving and rebuilding
their cities and towns Now their chief
cities have been laid waste, their capital
sacked, and their is not to-day home in
Paraguay which has not been made desolate.
To whom is this chargeable? The allies say
to the aggressors OF Lopez; the Paraguayans
to the ambition of Brazil Lopez claims
that he was compelled to fight in selfpre-
servation The allies declare in all their
public documents that the war was for the
vindication Of their outraged honor. But
they have occupied the capital of Paraguay
and one-half her territory; they have des-
troyed two-tbirds of her population; they
have taken possession of the chief rivers,
and they have brought upon the country
misery and desolation that surpass descrip-
ton. Why, therefore, does the war not
cease? Clearly because the claim that it is
only for the vindication of national honor,
and to obtain indemnity for the past and
security for the future, is like the treaty Of
the triple alliance, of which 1t is the pream-
ble-a fraud and delusion. No better
proof that Paraguay fights for her very ex
istence is needed than this one fact-that
the war still continues. In the face of this
the fair promises of the triple treaty, and the
hoDeyed words of the allied writers about
civilization and progress and liberty, and the
other specious phrases which are commonly
used to defend all false causes, cannot be re-
ceived By honest men nor accepted by up
right governments as explaining either the
origin or the objects of the war The war
is for conquest and absorption by Brazil;
and to permit such conquest and absorption
is contrary to the received and traditional
principles of American policy. We have
assumed the role of protector of the Ameri-
can republics. We played it with success
and honor in regard to Mexico. We en-
courage by popular sympathy the struggle
which Cuba carries on to gain her indepen-
dence Yet both the Government and the
people survey with indifference the magni
fcent fight which Paraguy has maintained
lor yelong yeara to preserve the indepen-
dence which she CALAMITY conquered half
century ago; and this independence, won
from Spain, is threatened by a monarchy
far less enlightened, whose dominion will be
fatal to the development of Paraguay, and
to the progress initiated there eight years
ago by this very ruler, whom it is the fash
ion among certain interested parties of more
or less standing to denounce as barbarian
and a monster unfit to live III T. He

ROUGH ROAD TO TRAVEL.
Each exploring party will have a special
telegraph wire Of his own, connecting with
the ships, which it will erect as it goes from
place TO place, day after day. The expIor-
ers will then be in constant communication
with the commander, and there will conse-
quently be no danger Of any one Of the par
ties falling victims to starvation in the will
derness, as did many Of Strains expedition
The region to be trayersed is very mountain.
Gus, and the ground is a complete net work
of underground, so thick and strong that it
would be impossible to make any progress
through it without the aid of the axe. The
Indians, who may at certain points prove
troublesome, are said to be of warlike na-
ture, and although under the nominal CON
troll of the Columbian government have
never been conquered by the white man.
The expedition will, as has already been
mentioned, endeavor to conciliate these saw
ages by presents, but at the same time each
party will 60 well protected and thoroughly
armed, so as to be prepared for anv treach-
cry on the part of the dusky inhabitants

point where the expedition will start-CaIe-

miles, and after they shall have made their
way to this stream the men viii follow its
course to the bay of Darien, where the
United States steamer Nyaek, which win
leave the Pacific squadron in proper time,
will be in readiness for them. It may be
mentioned that, besides the Savannah, the
river ChauQuanaque flows through the re-
gion through which the explorers will pass,
and it is believed that it has water enough
to keep canal well supplied.
Is a CANAL ACROSS THE IsTHaIUg POSSIBLE?
The officers of the expidition have not
the slightest doubt but that they will be
able TO establish line Of levels and reach
the Savannah river in safety, though not
without great deal of suffering and hard
ships. The Chagres fever, it is said, plays
havoc with stranger" at all times of the

DOW U. :. Senator, and was called to the
bar in 1852. 10 1853 he settled in Ciaarfieldi,
and is now in the enjoyment Of very large
and lucrative practice
As a popular speaker, he has few equals,
and, perhaps, no superior in the State
His manner is graceful, his voice is power
full yet susceptible ofevery degree OF modu-
lation, his style ornate, but clear and logical,
and the impression he makes on his audi
enee always pleasing and convincing. in
criminal cases, before jury, he is one Of
the most effective speakers we have ever
heard
He has had large experience at the bar,
having been engaged 10 very many grave
and important cases. Our own people win
not soon forget his conduct of the case of
the Commonwealth VS. Lena Miller, who
was indicted for poisoning her husband,
where he was assigned by the Court to as
sist the District Attorney, and procured
the first verdict ever rendered in America
where chemical investigation failed to End

scientific experts brought here paid him the
high compliment Of saying that it was the
best tried case in which they had ever been
called to testify. His recent defense Of

the jury verdict of murder iu the sec

client could not escape the gallows, and his
prosecution Of Ball for the murder of Job
Sheath, who was convicted Of murder in the
first degree by the force of his concluding
argument, with many other eases we might
cite, ell attest his superior ability as a Grim
inal lawyer.
In the civil courts he has been no less
successful 1t is not long since he conduc-
ted a case in the United States Court, before
Judge Nj Candless. against some of the
Oldest and ablest land lawyers in the State,
the trial of which lasted twenty seven days,
and during which all the points be made to
the Court were affirmed, and the verdict
was in favor of his client The land In dis

ton case of Robson VS.. Shugart, made in
the hall Of the State Senate, his annual ap-
pearance before the Supreme Court, where
be has been uniformly successful, all bear
witness to his ability and experience as a
civil lawyer. We have every confidence
that his duty to the Government will be

that President Grant, the Senate and the

One by one the sands are flowing
One by one the moments fall;
Some are coming, some are going,
Do not strive to grasp them all
One by one thy duties wait thee,
Let thy whole strength go to each
Let no future dreams elate thee,
Learn thou FIRST what these can teach
One BY one, bright gifts from heaven,
Joys are sent thee here below
Take them readily when given,
Ready, too, to let them go,
One by one thy griefs shall meet thee,
Do not fear an armed band
One will fade as others reach thee.

Do not look at life's long sorrow,
See how small each moment S pain;

Every day begins again.
Every hour that fleets so slowly,
Has its task to do, or bear;
Luminous the crown, aud holy,

Do not linger with regretting,
Or for passing hours despond
Nor, the daily toll forgetting,
Look too eagerly beyond,
Hours are golden links, Gods token
Reaching Heaven, but one by one,
Take them lest the chain be broken,
Ere the pilgrimage be done.
