A PRECIOUS BONE.


From the NJ Y. World.
On the top of high peak in the Oriental
seas-whence our great forefather, with Eve
under his arm, stepped from the island para
disc into continental Asia and the wicked
world before him-is q holy temple, and
there, in one of its most gorgeous shrines, is
kept and to be kept in seeuLG SecuL0rUn the
sacred tooth of Buddha Whether it is a
''molar" or a ''bicuspid" or an ''incisor,"
whether it was by some unlineal hand
wrenched from the prophets gums or is the
surviving witness of his masticatory exist
ence, we know not but there it is, and there
by pilgrims from all climes it is worshipped.
No other remnant Of humanity so remote
survives. Next to teeth in point of dura-
bility, as we all know, are bones; and to the
preservation of classic and sacred bones we
are glad to see the attention of this irreverent
nation of ours is at last turning, not
merely in cemeteries and vaults and tombs,
but in museums and above ground and in
the sight of man. We are to have our
Buddba's tooth.
We learn this from that eminently loyal
magazine called LippincOtts- published in
Philadelphia, though edited, we believe, in
Boston, literary ability being the only domes-
tic fabric not protected in Pennsylyania-
where We find a lovely description of the
Army Medical Museum at Washington, filed,
as we learn, with all the attractions of
normal anatomical preparations, ''thin sec
tiops of diseased tissues" son the podura
scale, with the 'grammatophera subtillisima,
the surrisella gemma, and the nineteenth
band of Noberts plate" But this is not all.
There is a sentimental side of this chamber of
horrors. On shelf by themselves-for rank
will even survive in ashes-'stand side by side
specimens derived from the mutilated limbs
of seven general officers, put there with the
full appreciation of the distinguished gentle
men whose wounds furnished them" No
names are given, no members specified; all
We know is the owners still survive and that,
as the commemorative writer sagaciously in
forms us, ''no critical eye can distinguish
them from the similar mutilations of subal-
terms, or even private soldiers. Milroy's
tibia, slightly hit as he ran away from Win
chester, cannot be told from his who beat the
retreat alongside. But the interest vastly in
tensifes when We hear that, 'sAs a memorable
example, when at Gettysburg the gallant
aeader Of one Of our army corps was struck
down by fragment of shell, which shattered
the bones of his leg to such an extent as TO
render amputation necessary, the first thought
of the sufferer after the shock of the
operation was Of the museum at Washing

ton, to which he ordered the broken bone
10 be sent, in the hope that his misfortune
might prove the gain of fellow-soldiers in the
future" While modesty here, zoo, wells the
name Of him to whom once belonged the
fractured leg, no one can doubt whose it is
The touching wish expressed in the agony of
amputation alone reveals it, "Don't give up
the ship"-"Kiss me, Hardy"-'I die con-
tent, are the sentimental, impractical utter
ances of wounded heroes on shore and ahoat;
but who but our Sickles would, the moment
the tourniquet was taken off, think Of sending
bis ''astragalus' TO the anatomical museum?
Then such leg Such a footl What associa-
tions cling around it! Is il not the foot which
he ''put down" so firmly when Mr.. Peabody
asked him to do honor to royalty? Is it not
the leg, or one Of them, on which he refused
to stand at the Star and Garter when the
Queens health was drunk? Is it not the leg
on which he pivoted on that Sabbath day
when he shot to death an unarmed man in the
streets of Washington? Is it not that which
did such good service when Stonewall jack
son broke in on the 11th Corps at Chancel-
lorsville, and the loss of which saved its pro-
prietor from court-martial at Gettysburg?
All we know is, it is not the leg, for it sur

Office. Still it is a precious member. May it
last as long as Buddha's tooth, and have as
many intelligent worshippers

THE COAL STRIKE.

From the ~ Y, World.
There can be no question that the miners
have put themselves grossly and terribly in
the wrong. The right of their fellows to
work was as clear as their own right to refuse
working. Yet for an exercise of this clear
right they have shot down some of the work.
ers, and bruised and manned others in bru-
tai way. 1t is particularly public misfortune
that they should have thus put themselves in
the wrong at the precise time when the public
had como to see and say that upon the origi-
nal merits Of the question they we're in the
right. No man can defend the bloody pro-
cesses of the miners mob. Yet defenders of
the cause of the miners would have arisen all
over Pennsylvania and in all the coal-con-
suming States, and soon created a public
opinion which would have compelled legisla-
lures, never so careless or so Venal, to put
the penalty of the stoppage of coal-mining
where the blame of it belongs-upon the
shoulders, not of the ignorant miners, but
Of the educated and powerful operators in
coal. The voices of these champions are
for the present hushed and the cause Of those
whom they would have defended is incalcula-
bly, injured Ly the foolish and brutal haste of
the miners themselves.
We have shown heretofore, and at some
length, in the correspondence from the capi-
tai Of Pennsylvania published in Ffidays
World, how absolute and how arbitrary the
power of the great carrying corporations,
which are also the great mining corporations,
Of Pennsylvania is over both the persons ia
their employ--to wit, the miners and the
persons in whose employ they are-to wit,
the public, consisting OF the coal consumers
OF several populous States, aud immediately

own, which heard it placidly-can ever
indorse it !; out as decision at law, per-

nation of men, and make revolt against
:he entire framework of the government,
built, as this virdict made il appear to
be, upon the monstrous basis that great
r,ce among us had no rights worth
respecting. The rendering ot the Dred
Scott decision was not the least of the
coed providences of the period before
the war, but this singular anomaly was
presented in it, that the old man who
could calmly indict in his law-closet the
sentence OF the consequent consclen, e
of two unholy centuries, was, in his pri-
vate life, what Senator Carpenter dc
scribed him-"a man OF the highest pu-

ties, and of such devotion to the duties
