The Coal TROUBLES seem likely to end in
a miniature war of races The Irish aborers,
who were assaulted on Tuesday by tie miners,
have held a meeting and resolved that they
will hereafter have no affiation with Welsh
men, and they call upon ell people of other
nationalities TO endorse them. The result of
the riot appears to be that three Irish
men were beaten to death, several Others
were severely injured, and an irreparable
breach was made between the two parties, who
should have closely fraternized in their war
fare against the operators aud the corpora
tions. Both miners and laborers injure their
cause by rioting and help the cause Of the
common enemy. It is a noteworthy sugges-
ton, however, that these riots indicate des-
peration akin to that produced by starvation,
and when it comes to this neither life nor
property, whether Of the employ ers or of dis
interested citizens in the neighborhood, is
safe an hour.

Che Commune CoIlaps!ng.

Our latest advices from the scene of hos
tilities about Paris indicate very plainly that
the end Of the instruction is near at hand
that the collapse Of the Commune may be
expected at any moment Defeated at every
point, its forces driven back at tho point Of
the bayonet, and a furious and devastating
cannonade constantly maintained against its
stronghOlds, resistance is unavailing. The
masses Of the reds see their cause hopeessly
lost, the followers Of the Commune are
Respondent, and they are about abandoning
the rapidly sinking ship. Paris will soon be
in the hands of the Theirs government, and,
although much blood may yet be shed, it will
not long before the legitimate authority will
reign supreme over all of France. We look
for this ending of causeless aud unneces-
sary instruction at an early hour, and
when over we hope to see every effort made to
save as much as possible from the terrible
wreck that has been created. The capture Of
Fort d'issy by the Versaists created great
sensation in Paris it evidently shattered their
hopes of further resistance. The resignation
Of General Rossel, the successor Of Cluseret,
followed close upon the heels Of the loss of the
Communists stronghold. He, like sensible
man, did not wish to be in command when the
ed.fice erected by the worst enemies France
has ever had crumbles into pieces. OF course
all is excitement within the great city. The
authorities are doing all they can to restore
confidence, and urge continued resistance; but
they have thankless task, and one in which
they will meet with but little, if any, success.
The people are beginning to tire of the
war; they arc disgusted with con-
slant defeat, and are about ready, we
think, to turn upon those who have
led them on fools errand. The sitting of
the Commune may be ended by the very
people who have been its firmest adherents,
and the crowd that has been so enthusiastic
of late in the erection Of barbados, and in
doing much Of the fighting outside the walls,
may in few days be the loudest shouters in
favor of the Theirs government Marshal
MacMahon has the game safely Gagged, and
when ready he will have it in his clutches
completely. 1t is reported that the breaches
in the walls Of Paris will be practicable for
assault by the end Of the week. The storm
ing columns of ten thousand men each have
been detailed. General Douay has been placed
in command of the foriorn hope, and all is
arranged SO that when the cry en- avGnt
comes a short time only will be required to
gain possession OF Paris and compel at the
point OF the bayonet rapid collapse of the
Commune.

The Blue Fish as a Fighter.

Colonel Thorpe writes in Appleton's
journal:
The "old inhabitants of the Jersey
coast take great pride i'll their locality,
which is often illustrated in very char
acteristlc ways 1t was at one of these
country store gatherings that learned
cockney from New York attempted
general lecture on the voracity of ami
mails Of the feline species, more espe-
cially of the tiger kind. 4 representa-
tive of Barnegat beach, who was pres
ent, listened while with unconcealed
ispatience, and finally broke forth af-
ter the following fashion
"Thar's no use to talk to me about
them tigers for fighting and biting
they amt anything that may be com
pared to well-grown blue-fsh. He's
an animal, if he hasn't got claws, that
can whip anything of his size, and
something over In fact, regular blue
fish is a natural enemy of every fish not
superior to him in size, and goes about,
as Satan does in Scripture, seeking
whom he may devour. Nothing swal
lowable comes amiss to him. He gorges
himself with bits of sea-weed and Junk
bottles, and then gobbles up clam-shells
and gravel-stones to aid his digestion.
The tiger is nothing to blue-tish in
tearing things to pieces. Why, shoal
of moss-bunkers or porgies, disporting
ON the sea, Will be cut to shreds in no
time 10y dozen blue-fsh. He's clip
per-built, he is; and, when doing his
work, will spring at his fodder, dash
around it like a mad cat, and, in a few
seconds, kill, waste, and devour more
than his own weight, driving every liv-
ing thing from the vicinity but the
tantog-rhat black rascal having sense
enough to hide away in sandholes and
under the rocks until the earthquake is
over. And when the bluefish has got
sufeit, and you would suppose you
couldn't drive point of knife into
his body with hammer, he will dash
at a bone bait, seize it, ana when you
haul him up, he viii give you few
nabs at yonr hands and legs, just to let
you know his appetite is Unsuitable
even in death. Talk about tigers !

emf. He at times bowed his head upon
his hands and wept bitterly. Mr..
Schley described the scene that took
place about eleven o'clock A. NJ, when
he had his last interview with Major
Hodge before trial, as exceedingly af-
fecting. He spoke of his wife and
children IN the most affectionate man
ner possible. Overwhelmed with grief
and eontrition at his crimes, he cried
out, Il am a fool or a mailman! What
have done to my dear family. As for
me, | have nothing to ask, nothing to
expect. My means and social position
among men are gone, and have naught
TO ask or desire, save for my wife and
children. | have given up all my
means, even my dear wife has given
her dover toward the liquidation Of my
obligations, and my family are, by my
acts, left penniless. Ny crime has
been that | gave way TO bad counsel
and entered into gold speculations-
first, with my own means, until they
were gone, and then with government
funds, hoping to regain what | had lost.
Let them do with me whatever they de-
sire. -
Major Hodge was, when brought into
court, neatly dressed in a suit of dark
clothes. His face bore the unmistak-
able signs of deep mental agitation and
silent grief He looked quite pale,
and seemed somewhat agitated when
coming into the presence Of his old
army associates as a felon, but when
arraigned, he stood up and heard the
fearful charges against him read,
seemingly without agitation.
After the statement of Mr. Schley
was read, the prisoner and his attend
ants withdrew, and the court remained
in session to make up its finding in the
case, and impose its sentence. 1t is
understood that it is the disposition of
the court, in view of all the facts, TO
make the sentence as light as possible.
The court adjourned after an hours
deliberation, during which time Hodge
was undoubtedly sentenced. The exact
amount of his defalcation is &l45, 400
so, which was taken in sums of 5000 to
$50, 600.
