The speech of Senator Sumner
on Saturday last has called forth
the following letter from William
L. Garrison:
RoXBURY, June LIST.
Dear Mr.. Summer. l owe
it to you to say with all frankneSs,
which sober friendship justifies,
that 1 have carefully read your
speech in arraignment of the
President, and my conviction is
that it is ill-judged, ill-timed, and
so extravagant in its charges and
bitter in its personalities as to neu-
tralize whatever just criticism can
be found; and it will assuredly
serve the purpose of the worst
foes to the cause of impartial free
dom, which it has most toifear.
Very many of them are even now
rallying under the deceptive omen
of Liberal Republicanism, but the
loyal, liberty-upholding party with
which YOU have hitherto been
proved to be identified, will be,
ruse it with deep regret, if not
with unfeigned establishment. Ger
tainly you do not represent Mas
sachusetts in this sweeping i'm
parchment. Her republican peo-
pie are almost unit for the re-
election of the man whom you at
tempt to stain with crime and COW
or with infamy. You cannot sep
crate General Grant from the par
ty which put him in the Presiden-
tial chair, and which means to
keep him in it, if possible, another
term, being satisfied as to his abil-
ity, integrity and patriotism, and
therefore in stigmatizing him as a
venal self-seeker and an unscrupu-
lops usurper, you virtually pro-
nounce it to be equally corrupt
and untrustworthy. This you have
right to do, on your own respon-
sibility, if you must, but in so
doing you will find yourself for the
first time in marked opposition to
the sentiment of the masses. As q
Senator in Congress, and sur
rounded by allies who have been
heretofore your deadliest enemies,
and occupying, as i do, an out
side position, i write this not I'M
der party bias, but only because I
feel constrained in this manner
to free my mind, as proof of my
friendship. Receive it in the spir-
it which has dictated it.
Faithfully and regretfully yours,
(Signed: WIN. LLOYD GARRIson.

JAMES GORDON BENNETT.

The founder, publisher, and for
many years the editor of the New
York Herald, the most successful
journalist the world has ever known,
James Gordon Bennett, died in
New York on Saturday morning
last. He was born at New Mall,
Keith, Scotland, in 1900; was edu-
Gated for the priesthood, and lived
and died q Roman Catholic. He
made many unsuccessful efforts to
establish and control newspapers
until in May, 1885, he established
the New York Herald. How be
conducted this. and the genera
character of the paper is known
wherever the English language il
spoken. His fortune, made out o
his newspaper, is said 10 be more
than five millions of dollars.

MINING

We have no particular data from
which to condense a specific statement
of the number Of deaths resulting from
mining in this section, yet 1t IL we'll
known that the number Of fatal casual
ties in tho mines of the Comstock are
really less, than in the generality OF
the great mining districts of the world.
Whether this is the result of better
machinery, appliances, escape facili.
ties or better management, and more
certain on the part Of both officers aud
employees We need not say, but the
fact Is certainly gratifying. During
the year 1871 two hundred and seven.
ty-two lives were lost, and six hundred
and twenty-five people were injured,
more or less seriously, In the mines Of
six counties of the Pennsylvania coal
region. Two hundred and twenty
women were made widows, and from
five hundred to six hundred children
were made orphans by these disasters.
A great part Of this misery was caused
by the penuriousness of the mine OWL
ers. About one-third Of the whole
number killed met their death OIL &C.
count Of the neglect Of operators to
make second openings to their mines
another third fell victims to explosions
of gas, which might have been avoided
if the law providing for thorough ex'
aminations Of tho mines had been com.
piled with. In Schuylklll county one
man was killed for every so, 900 tons Of
coal produced.

Inc efficiency Of the German mill.
tary administration Is shown that In
the space Of ten months the re-estab.
lIshment Of the German army has been
completed in all essential points. Uni
forms, boots and helmets have been re-
newed and the soldiers knapsacks as
well as belts and saddles have been re-
paired. Some six thousand transport
wagons. that at the close Of the war
were mere wrecks, have been replaced
with vehicles fit for immediate service,
and tho artillery has undergone n COM
plete renovation. The horses which
returned from France were In excel
lent condition ; those killed In battle
were replaced ten-fold BY those.cap-
tured from the French. When the
army was demobilized great numbers
Of horses were sold, bringing higher
prices than were originally paid for
them by the Government. The Prus-
sian newspapers are exceedingly hap
by over this very satisfactory condition
of military affairs.

TIE recent assault upon Queen Vic
toria BY the lad O'Connor was thu
fourth time the Queen has escaped un-
harmed from the pistols Of would-be
assassins. John Oxford, a crazy lad,
fired at her in 1910, a few months be-
fore the birth Of the Princess Royal.
Tho second attempt was made by
John Francis, in 1912 Francis was
condemned to be hanged, but the
Queen committed his sentence to trans
portation for life. Two months after
this second attempt, one J. W. Bean
aimed a pistol at the Queen, but it was
struck down before he fired. Bean
was imprisoned for IS months; and
Parliament, at that time, made whip
ping the legal punishment for the
crime. All Of these acts Of violence
and menace were undoubtedly the re-
suit of a monomania begotten Of long
brooding over fancied personal or ma
tional wrongs. This last affair seems
to have been tho empty threat of a
crazy man, and his weapon, 4 forlorn
and harmless instrument, was as
rs his terrifying action. Com
ing so close upon the late pompous
demonstration Of loyalty, this mad and
fantastic act will be likely to intensity
popular affection for the Queen.

A BEAUTIFUL THouaHT.-When the
summer OF youth Is slowly fading away
In the nIghtfall Of age, and the past b.
comes deeper and deeper, it Is pleasant
to look through the vista Of time upon
the sorrows and felicities of our early
years. If we have a home to shelter,
and friends to rejoice with us, the
rough places of Il w~ayfaring will
have been smoothed away In the twi-
light of life, while many dark spots
We have passed through will grow
brighter and moro beautiful. Happy
are those whose intercourse with the
world has not changed the tone Of their
holier feelings, or broken those musi-
cal chords Of the heart, whose vibra-
lions are SO melodious, so tender, so
touching In the evening OF life.

TIE OYSTER TRApE.-The oyster trade
of New York is II using large
amounts of capital, employing nearly
100 sailing vessels, with crews averag.
ing In the aggregate 700 seamen, and
handling millions Of bushels Of oysters
per annum. There arc now moored at
the wharves In New York city nearly
90 burgess, costing from $1,000 to 3d.
600 each, substantially built, having
compartments capable Of containing
thousands OF bushels Of oysters in the
shell. and which pay to the city nearly
$40 a year as wharfage. The oys-
ter trade has Its dangers as we'll as
other lines OF business. Only three
years ago hundreds Of dealers, espe-
cially the smaller ones, owning beds.
were ruined by the devastation Of their
crops by the oysterman's dread, the
drum fish. Enormous schools OF this
fish visited the oyster beds at keyport,
Prince Bay and the shores of Long
Island, where they devoured hundreds
of thousands of bushels of oysters in
three days. The drum fish Is remark
able for making a peculiar drumming
or grunting sound under the water.
1t gathers the oysters from the beds,
and grinds the shells to fine fragments
In Its jaws, sucking out the body and
leaving naught but ruin In Its path.

Of which are reported to exist. He
states that swords and other articles OF
cutlery are forged directly from this
metal, and that 1t has been recognized
as native steel by every Japanese to
whom he has shown it, n circu : stance
which increases his confidence in the
truth Of the reports concerning 1t. The

tn. Union PACIFIC Railroad.

The statements forwarded by tele-

meeting Of the Union Pacific Railroad
Company, 20 a long way In answering
the question why the blockade con-
tinued for % days. Accepting IS cor
rect In the main the figures tele-
graphed, the policy Of the Directors Is
we'll illustrated. With a falling of
during 1871 in the receipts Of sos, o94,
the expenses OF the road were so Tar
reduced as to show n net increase In
the earnings Of that year over the pre-
ceding ont Of $973, 253. We have not
before us the full statement Of the &C
counts showing the proportion OF the
reduction made, but 1t Ia obvious that
the working expenses must have been
tremendously curtalled, when, with a
decline of $l03, 900 In tho receipts, the
company realizes an increased income
of near q million of dollars. The pub
lie, with such figures before them, can
arrive at but one or two conclusions
either that the road was extravagantly
worked previous to 1871, or that the
reduced expenditure last year was OBJ
tanned at a sacrifice OF working ELL
cheney. The snow blockade and the
circumstances connected with 1t point
to the latter, aud the statement Of the
unfortunates who were thus inprls-
oned on the road. as to the bad ar
rangements, has received a verifica-
tIon from the reports made by the com
pany. The experience Of the last
