LONDON, June 2S.-Thc statements of
Granville and Gladstone in Parliament
last night announcing the decision of the
Tribunal of Arbitration OH indirect claims
form the subject of the leading editorial
articles of all the London morning jour
nails. The Times says the decision of the
Tribunal of Arbitration is eminently
satisfactory. All Englishmen and Ameri-
cans ought to he grateful to the Arbitrator,
who have proved themselves true bene-
factors of both England and America. The
man who secured America from discrcdt
is Charles Francis Adams.
The NcWs says the result of the indirect
claims controversy is great triumph for
the firmness and patience of the British
ministry. Society has now an example
for the employment of peaceful tribunals
not to complete but to supersede the work
of the sword.

various correspondents of that paper in
Southern Colorado and New Mexico state
that extensive and combined depredations
are seriously apprehendcd in sparscly set
tied parts ofSthese territories. The Kiowas,
Arrapahoes, Cheyennes, Camanches, Nava-
joes and Apaches have held frequent coun-
ellis during the past winter, at which it
was endeavorcd to dissipate all tribal pref
udices and effect combination for a gen
eral Indian war. The recent murders and
robberies in New Mexico, Arizona, Texas
and other places are referred to as evidence
of the intention of the Indians, but
whether complete combination has been
effected is not known. -.-.

RoCKwooD coAL RANK ON FIRE.
Nearly Four Days Fighting with the
PLANES.

The Chattanooga Herald of yesterday states
that the ventilating flue of the lockwood Conl
Bank caught fire last Tuesday night and burned
most furiously until Saturday, when, by the
most determined efforts, it was extinguished.
The flew goes up from the rooms below through
over one hundred feet of solid conl a fire is
kept at the bottom of this shaft to stimulate the
draft, and, 1t is supposed, communicated to the
surrounding coal The rooms below being so
large, it was found impossible 20 shut off the
supply of air from below and the white blaze
shot up over one hundred feet into the air. The
plan used TO eytinguish the fire was TO dig out
the burning coal from below and put it out with
water brought in buckets from the drain in the
interior of the mine, some three hundred feet
distant Fifty men were kept at this day and
night, from Wednesday morning until Saturday
at noon.
The fro had penetrated over thirty feet into
the solid coal on one side, and only five or six
feet on the other, and TO dig out this mass of
red hot coal was terrible work Water had no
effect on IL until II was dug loose, and the heat
and steam was sutfocatngi but the men, led by
Capt, Harris, the coal boss, worked with will,
and succeeded in saving the great coal property.
Tho heat was so great as TO melt the slate roof
which dripped down in waxy puddles, harden
ing into masses of lava-looking cinder
The company are now erecting n brick stack
outside of the bank, at the mouth OF the ven
tilating shaft, in which the fire will be kept,
in contact with the coal again. The long dry
season we have had dried the coal 50 thor
oughly rs TO cause IL to ignite. Ordinarily
the coal is kept wet with surface water oozing
through Il, but this year has been so dry as to
stop this. am.

DESPONDENCY.

Another morning dawns with baleful light
- Slow on my sight, Tgrief
And my sad heart, that found from pnaWino
A respite BRIEF
Must wake once more, and its full weight of pain
Take up again.
The golden morning that to others brings
Aorn
.Brfuy,s nome 20 me; the tranquil evening close
Nosweet repose;
Amid her gloom no ray of starry light
The silent night.
In vain for me with one harmonious voice
Does earth rejoice,
And with her thousand tints of land and sky
Entrance the eye;
The music seems a-dirge, the beauty all
A funeral pail,
And earth herself one vast and lonely tomb,
ALI that her womb
Yields, she devours, as did the god of old
His offspring. Gold
Cleans the abundant corn that smiling waves
Der silent graves.
o, bitter tho't ! that mans weak faith unnerves
What purpose serves
Ambitions best result Fame, power, seem
An idle dream bloom
Seen in truths light, whose brightest flowers
To grace tomb.
How swells the heart to-day with conscious pride
Fate seems defed.
How dwells intent on each new scheme of gain
Yhe busy brain.
What fond Illusions thrill the lovers breast,
His hopes contest.
Tomorrow dawns. What titles now avail
When knocks the pale
Stern Messenger of Fate? How dull and cold
The once-prized gold!
The bounding pulses that to joy did thrill,
How fixed and still
So in his turn has each the bitter draught
Ofsorrow quaffed.
And so shall each that cometh after me,
Despondent see
Of earthly gain, ambition, happiness,
The nothingness.

A PARIS STORY.

I had been staying at Geneva during
the autumn months, passing my time very
pleasantly, now in a boat on the lake,
watching the golden sunset, or perhaps in
the moonlight night, when at each splash
of your oar there arose thousands of gold
en- watery gems which, ere they fell, were
silvered by the moonbeams. But the
evenings were now becoming Gully. and
T knew that before long the days would
also be cold; SO I bade adieu to the fair
lake. and took my way homeward
arrived in Paris. intending to stay
only few days, but I was disappointed.
as some little business I wished to trans
act there kept me lingering day after day
Now, this would have been pleasant e.
nough at any other time of the year, but
at this season how could amuse myself,
If it were not for the theatres and the bal
de popera!
One night, while the cold rain beat a
gainst my window-panes, and the wind
still colder, whistled in ftful gusts up the
street. lay on my lounge poring over
Victor Hugo's last novel, and trying tc
understand it. the wood fire glowing OF
the hearth. dropped my book, and
looking at the clock. saw it was just E
quarter past seven : then thought of go
ing to the theatre. it was not yet too late
and SO | decided should go to the Oper;

OUR OWN.

If had known in the morning
How wearily all the day
The words unkind would trouble nv mind
That l said when you went away,
had been more careful, darling,
Nor, given you needless pain
But we vex our own with look and tone
We might never take back again.
For though in the quiet evening
You might give me the kiss of peace,
Yet it well might be that never for me
The pain of the heart would cease!
How many go forth at morning
Who never come home at night
And hearts have broken for harsh words spokel
That sorrow can meier set right
We have careful thought for the stranger,
And smiles for the sometime guest;
But oft for our own the bitter tone,
Though we love our own the best.
All lips with the curve impatient,
All brow with the shade of scorn,
'Twere cruel fate, were the night too late
To undo the work of morn!
