One of the pent-up men in the burning mine
at Pittston, Penn, says: CATER shutting our
selves in we sat down together, all anxious,
some despairing, some hoping we would see
daylight again About o'clock some OF
them went to sleep, and tried to wake them
up, but they would sleep. Again we shook
hands with each other, kissed each other,
ing. We who were awake were anxious to
hear some sign of salvation coming to us. l
opened the door and went through to the bot
tom of the shaft, but almost failed to come
back. Since then l remember nothing-it
seems as if had been dreaming.
Lucy A. Mills writes about house cleaning
as follows: ''Oh, the deliciousness, the cool
ness, the exquisite repose of these New Eng
land homes in summer, after the house clean
ing! They are, par excellence, the true chris
tian homes; and though one tires to think of
the labor which gives them their superiority,
one remembers that Emerson has said that
the division of beauty from use the laws of
nature do not permit and that we must do
up 'he "oiA WHICH is uhaNoItHaoie "ltiout ue
tachng the beautiful from it, SO we take
the bitter with the sweet, and the sea of soap
suds whence energies sheen of brightness
like Aphrodite from the foam"
An urgent appeal is made to the public at
large to contribute for the relief of the fami-
lies of the workmen who persisted in the Pitts
ton mine. Twelve widows and thirty six
orphans were made by that catastrophe, and
as the protracted suspension Of work has
brought them to state of restitution and
almost completely impoverished their neigh
bors, the case calls in a peculiar manner for
the sympathies of the benevolent.

The Albany Evening Journal says; "The
effort of Vallandigham and some others tc
shake of the putrid corpse which is tied to
the Democratic party does not deceive the
people. Reduced to its plain, logical effect,
it amounts simply to confession that the
Democratic party was all wrong and the Re-
publican party all right, from 1860 to 1870"
