HAzELToN, March There is only
one mine working in this region, and
that is the Mount Pleasant. 1t went to
work on the following terms: At special
meeting of the Workingmen's Union it
was resolved that if Mr. Taggart resign
the basis of 1869, and pay at the rate OF
81 so per ton or more if he makes it for
his coal Until the coal is shipped to
tide water, he may resume work, pro-
vided that the prices of coal at Elizabeth
por or Port johnson be paid by him to
his men when shipment is made to the
above ports. And be it further resolved,
That should it be discovered that Mr..
Taggart is violating any of the within
named provisions, or aiding or abetting
a combination of operators and railroad
companies to injure our association,
that this region of Mount Pleasant and
the Workingmen's Union annul this
agreement. And be it further resolved,
That any other collery may resume
work on the same basis as provided for
him.

Bluff Ben Wade never before figured
in the character Of tourist, except
when he went West as a Railroad In
spector, and San Domingo is a constant
source Of wonder and admiration to his
untutored mind. The inability Of the
natives to speak English is in itself
strange enough to one who cannot swear
in any other language; but when it
comes to palaces without window
glass, and with rotten staircases, and 70
fortresses containing the identical room
in which Columbus was imprisoned, it IS
not strange that Mr.. Wade's curiosity
should know no bounds. He is, in fact,
the liveliest member in the Commission,
travelling about from ruin TO ruin, and
from fort to palace, with specialized eyes
wide open, the stump OF a cigar IN his
mouth, and quotations from Mother
Goose on his tongue. One Of the
strangest effects Of this experience upon
the bluff ex-senator is the cultivation OF
a reverential spirit, as seen in his rehec-
tons upon the ruins Of the Convent OF
St. Francis. II have seen the retribu-
ton Of the Lord" he exclaimed, as he
passed out Of the shattered doorway.
Probably no other member OF the Com
mission had observed it, and now it re-
mains for Mr.. Wade 10 explain whether
