SHARP BARGAINING. Not very far from
Portland post-office is a row OF stores occupied
nv proyision dealers and grocery men. vi
course competition is lively in buying and sell
ing. and a practical joke is always in order
Among these fellows is one who arrives at con.
illusions slowly, and that's a bad falling where
he is. He was out Of blueberries the other
morning, and interviewed the first country
man that came along looked at the fruit, asked
the price and when they were picked; then
thrust his hands into his trowsers pockets and
walked to the store in brownistudy. One OF
his neighbors saw the movement, and giving
the wink to some Of the others they quietly
purchased all the berries on the stand. Sud-
denly the slow man turned round and rushed
for the wagon. "Pll take those blneberries ="
He was quietly told that he was too late. "No!
What! All soldp' he shouted in astOnishment
The next day be determined to be on hand
bright and early, and SC when the first wagon
came along out he rushed from his store 10
such an eagerness to secure the contents OF the
baskets that he forgot that he carried in his
hand big lion bar with which he was I'M
heading barrel of flour. His sharp competi-
tors spotted him and cried out to the country
man to beware of him for he was crazy. Off
drove the countryman at the top of his speed
to escape from the supposed maniac who glar-
ed after his retreating team. The neighbors
took advantage of the sell and again secured
the fruit. and now it is said, if any one says
'blueberries" in our friends hearing the look
that he. gives them is savage enough to war
rant the statement that he is crazy. e
THE EASTERN CEMErERY.-On the Oath OF
June, 1859, an ordinance was passed by the
City Council forbiddng the burial of bodies in
either of the cemeteries within the city except
in the private tombs or in family lots But it
appears that for year or more past the Ordi-
nance has become dead letter as regards the
Eastern Cemetery and almost daily violated.
It has come to the knowledge of some of the
city authorities that some of the undertakers
have deposited bodies there, covering them
with not more than twelve or fifteen inches of
earth; that graves have been dug without re-
gard to location, in some cases desecratipg
older graves by digging into them and throw
ing up pieces of cofins and human bones, to
be thrown back heller SHELTER, and the new
graves left in disgraceful condition. The
key of the gate, instead of being kept in the
hands of the Superintendent of Burials, has
been deposited at store in the vicinity, where
it was accessible to anybody, and no care has
been taken in regard to keeping the grounds
closed to carriages. A few days ago police
officer found a man driving horse and car
riage through the yard, over graves and wher-
ever else he chose. The ordinance makes the
Superintendent of Burials the custodian of the
city cemeteries, and it is time some one exer-
cised the authority vested in him.

-t7ttl t Lives Lost.
PTTTsToN, Aug. 15-The last body was taken
out Of the Eagle shaft at about o'clock this
morning. Work was continued all day yester-
day, and up to midnight last night only five
had been taken out. About that time the
Mine Inspector put stop to all proceedings in
order to ventlate the mine so that those who
went down could work without danger. A
stream of water was turned on in the passage
ways arranged by means of doors, so that fresh
air could be circulated throughout the mine,
which soon removed the choke damp which
suffocated seventeen men, or those of that
number not killed outright. About half past
2 O'clock eight bodies were discovered and
brought up. A fresh gang of work went down
and brought up Martin Mason, and after dill
gent search finally found and brought up the
remaining three. The tunernal will be held
to morrow at Odd Fellows cemetery. A jury
has been empanelled by the coroner, and the
inquest will be. he'd on Friday morning. In
the meantime the committee which has heen
appointed will explore the mine and give evil
dence before the jury as to the cause of the &C
cident. The victims have been carried to their
homes and placed in coffius ready for inter-
ment 1t is not known, and most likely never
whether all were instantly killed by tie ex-
ploson or whether they they were stunned
anG afterwards sufocated by choke damp.
One or two bodies were badly burned and
another considerably bruised. Er .s

Mexican Election

CITY OF MExICo.-Juarez lacks ITO votes of
a majority for President, with fourteen dis
tricts to be heard from, and it is expected that
these will give sufficient number OF votes TO
elect him.
Members of the opposition make a different
computation and allege that majority OF votes
for any candidate is impossible and that Con.
gress will have to decide who is to be Presi-
dent.
Both parties are arming and preparing for a
revolution. Should the result of the election
be adverse to Juarez he intends to retire to
private life
1t is reported that Juarez desires to remain
in power on account of the contract with the
United States. The government has annull-
ed the contract with the lower California COL
OnistatiOn company. The government is ne
gOtiating with the United States for a loan
and hypOthecating national territory as guar
antee for future payment.
A national bank without either capital or
credit has been established.
The federal authorities have imprisoned sew

act however, is regarded as nigh-handed u.s.

A CoLoRED WOMAN GETS ELEVEN Hun
DRED DOLLARS FOR BEING ELECTED FROM A
CAR.-In the Circuit Court Of the United
States for this district Katie Cummings, q
young colored woman, recovered S1.100
damages for being forcibly elected from 4
ladies' car on the Orange and Alexandria
railroad and placed in smoking car. The
amount Of damages claimed was 81 800, and
the plaintiff alleged that she suffered bodily
injury, as we'll as exposure to cold (being
dellcate), in the transfer from one car to
another. She had bought a frst-class
through ticket from New York to Lynch
burg, and got all her ticket called for until
between Washington and Alexandria.
The case was argued by Chandler and
Morton for the plaintiff, and Messrs. Nee
son and Cogbill for the defendant. We give
in full the Instructions OF the Judge to the
jury, which was composed OF both white
and colored persons
"If the alleged ejectment was made before
the train was turned over to the agent OF
the Orange and Alexandria Railroad Com
pany at Alexandria, then the other COM
pany was liable, and rice Uersd.
Ii the plaintiff occupied the second-class
car after ejcctment from the first, and
seemed to he comfortable, and not COM
planning to the conductor az he passed to
and fro, and such silence were not the re-
suit Of detention or intimidation by such
ejectment, the defendant was not liable.
If the forcble ejectment were made by
any employe Of the company the plaintiff
could recover. The jury was not obliged to
cOntine themselves to the damages claimed
Isl 800, but could assess exemplary dam
ages"

PRESBYTERIAN CoLoRED SUNDAY SCHOOL.
The First Presbyterian Church (Rev. L. l..
Preston's) seems to have made the in
struction of colored children more a spe-
cialty than any other church in the
city. On Sunday afternoons the scene is an
interesting one. There are about thirty
classes Zone Of them taught by the pastor
himSelD of tidy, intelligent colored chill
dren, we'll behaved, and-something we
don't always find in the young-anxious to
learn. The exercises consist Of singing
(Which is worth hearing when it is done by
three hundred children) and the usual rou-
tine of Sabbath schools, occupying about
an hour of time.
This church is now conducting three
Sabbath schools, and is hard pressed for
teachers in the colored schools. Outside of
the duty we owe these children for the
faithfulness of their fathers in times past,
there is pleasure in its discharge-a plea
sure in the sense of ploushng such utterly
fallow ground. If there are young ladies and
gentlemen, whether professors OF Christian
ity or not, who are willing to throw just an
hours bread upon the waters every Sun.
day, they can call on or address Mr.. William
S. Donnan, the superintendent, at his store
on Governor street.
