Certain Pcunsvlvauians and others connected
with the coil interest" have sought to manage
this interest as some of the mining companies in
PENNSYLVANIA have sought to manage the Coal
interest" The aim is 10 keep mp prices and
secure monopoly of the business 10 few great

Various attempts have been made TO establish a
system of operation which would effect Their

have in hand another scheme which will limit
production, keep priees high, and confne the
refining business TO a few companies. No
scheme OF this kind can he permanently success
full, if properly dealt with.
One of our free trade exchanges takes notice
OF this movement, and makes the surprising
statement that it is "thc natural outgrowth" of
the policy of protecting our home industries
against foreign competition. 1t might be said

vast amount If free trade on the brain to make
one capable of talking such nonsense. The
truth is, all such combinations are the natural
offspring of that evil spirit which delights
in producing gambling Corners" gold
and stock Corners" in New York city, and
grain corners" in Chicago. They are the work

Diamond Found.

Not long ago a lady of this city wished TO re-
arrange the contents of her bureau, and went to
the place where she usually deposited her keys
I to open the drawers. She had two diamond
rings of great value. These she always wrapped
in tissue paper and deposited them with the keys
behind picture in her room. On this occasion
she took her keys and diamonds, and after un-
locking the bureau and taking out quantity
of papers, gathered them in her lap and sat
down, letting the rings fall among them. She
then called the servant girl to bring her box TO
put tbs papers in, and the girl returning with
the intelligence that she could not find box
she arose impatiently, told her to sweep up the
papers and put them in the fire, and at the same
time the rings fell with the papers on the floor
The girl soon swept every thing up, and the pa
perS were consigned to the fire.
Toward evening, the lady, going out for a
while, looked for the rings, when it suddenly
flashed upon her that they had fallen among the
papers and had been put into the fire with
husbands office. He at once proceeded to the
house, ordered the fire to be put out, and nst-
tuted a very careful search among the ashes for
missing diamonds. They could not be found,
and the family sought the advice of detective.
His advice was to have the servant girl arrested
at once This was done in the face of her pro-
testations of innocence, and she was celled
without ceremony. She swore by all the saints
that she had not taken them, had nothing to
confess, etc.
cerated girl, and she was told that her theft
was known, and that confession might save her.
She then said that she had taken the rings and
had hidden them under Il certain plank in the
bath room, which she designated. Leaving her,
the gentlemen proceeded to examine the bath
room, took up the plank, and found-nothng.
Somewhat nettlcd at the diamond thief, he Wis
tied her again, and she asserted that she had
put them there, and some one must have car
ried them away if they were not to be found.
Another search was made with The assistance of
detectives. The plank was taken up.
81 guess the rats have carried them off" said
one of the officers.
This announcement was greeted with laugh.
"Who ever heard of such a thing2' said the
lady.
"Have known it to be dOne," said the first
speaker, and running his arm down next the
wall, in the place from where the plank had
been taken, he said
"Here's a rats nest"
Almost at the same instant he drew forth one
OF the missing rings, the diamond flashing and
glisteniHg with its usual beauty. Another
plunge of his arm brought up the other ring,
and they were both restored to the wondering
owner.-LOuiSUale Democrat.

The other day, Rev. Mr.. Hepworth of New
York, who has been preaching to a large con.
gregaiion in that city ever since he was com.
PEELED to leave the Church of the Messiah, was
formally installed over his new church. The
council convened on this occasion was very re-
markable in character. 1t consisted of Bap-
lists, EpscOpalians, MethOdists, Presbyterians
and Congregationalists. Some other denomina-
tons may Fave been represented in it, Mr..
Hepworth's church docs not belong to either Of
these sects, 1t is enthusiastically independent
but they all seem to have consented to be repre-
sented at his installation. 1t is said that
he was Thoroughly quesioncd;" but the
character Of the questions Is not given; and, if
he made profession of any creed, which is not
probable, nothing is said of it. Such a council
would hardly ask him 10 endorse any creed We
notice that this unique council was the topic of
one of Henry Ward Beecher's sermons last
Sunday, and that he described the installation
as ga great event in current religious history"
Mr. Hepworth Is certainly now in position
where his proceedings aud future history will get
attention and be studied.

even to tenderness, and wistful withal. 1t is
Mary in her Soltest mool. The fire and vivacity
which one would expect to find in her face are
wholly wanting, but the edge of the live coal is
seen in the embered auburn hair, the long chin
tells its tail of strength, and the angle of the
ear, together with the general conformation of
the head, betrays the leonine breadth of the oc-
cIput. The liopesS is all there, but asleep. In

came into the Kerr family, are questions unau-

trustworthy as a likeness taken from the living
face of Mary, one in looking at it might easily
believe. But this is not asserted. That it is
unique, very old and rare, there can be no ques-
ton whatever.

Just as well known before as they are
now. But no precautions, so far as we can see,
could have prevented or made harmless the
disastrous floods in Italy, which deluged miles
of fertile fields, destroyed homes and harvests,
drowned hundreds Of persons and deprived
thousands of their means of living; nor could
any barrier within the power of man to provide
have resisted the force of that furious storm,
which wrecked the shipping in the North sea
and The Baltic, and drove the waters miles in

ungenial soil of Denmark, nor of that later
storm, of whose ravages in England and the
adjacent seas we are just beginning to learn the
distressing particulars.

TERRIBLE EFFECTS OF A STORM. - The
Scandinavian Correspondence prints some sad
details regarding the raYages wrought by the
terrible hurricane which visited the Danish
coast on the night of the 12th-13th ultimo, and
the following day. AT Copenhagen much dam
age was done by the rains and wind, and the
sea ran very high, causing injury to the ship
ping, but on the whole the capital escaped any
very serious calamity. AT Kjege Tor Kioge)lfve
Danish miles southwest Of Copenhagen, the
whole lower part Of the town, the harbOr and
the railway station were submerged, and all
communications interrupted. sOn the Wednes
day evening at O'Clock the water was a foot
and half above the rails, and took week to
repair the damage done. AT Svendborg, at As
sens, in the island of Funen, at Sreaneke
in the island of Bornholm, at Dragoer in the isl
and Of Amack, and elsewhere the waves invaded
the streets, causing great injury to the public
buildings, especially the custom house estah-
liShments and harbor works. One small island,
Falster, disappeared under the waters, and the
inhabitants, comprising several families are be-
lieved to have persisted. Two towns particular
ly suffered from the storm. These are Praestae,
nine and half miles southwest of Copenhagen,
and ROedby, on the southern coast of the island
of Laaland. The whole of the latter town with
its environs for mile round was under wave
for twelve hours. The water IN the middle of
the town rose to a height of three metres, aud
passed over the roofs of the houses near the
shore. All the inhabitants fortunately were
SaFeu, Dut Tue loss OF property was immense.
Praestae was almost destroyed. BY early
morning on Wednesday the water covered the
lower parts of the town. and by midday fully
half of 1t was submerged. Despairing of help
from without, the people sought to save
themselves on floating RATS or whatever offered.
The towns situated on the Baltic have suffered
most those in the Kattegat having escaped with
comparatively slight losses. OF course the dis
asters at sea have far surpassed those on shore
A bout hundred vessels observed on the coast of
the island of Bornholm before the storm were
afterwards found to have disappeared during the
hurricane, the whole east coast of Zealand and
the south of the bay of Ki@gei(or KIoge) was
strewed with wrecks. The number of victims
who have per ished is of course unknown. The
steamer plying between Stockholm and Copen-
hagen was lost on the coast Of Sweden with all
hands.
