TIE REGULATION OF Coal MINES is a
subject which has recently engaged the
attention of the English Government. A
bill Just drawn up contains many excel
lent provisions some Of which ought to
command attention among propretors of
mines in this country. No boys under
ten and no females Of any age are 20 be
employed in underground work. A limit
is placed upon the time for which any
boys under sixteen shall DE employed be.
low ground under thirteen none are to
employed unless, on account Of the thin
ness of the seams, the Secretary of State
considers it necessary, and gives special
order for it. There are other restrictions
Of like character, but Of less rigidity,
upon the age Of those employed above
ground. Two shafts or outlets must be
provided for every mine, with suitable
hosting apparatus at each. The manager
of mine must not be a contractor inter-
ested in the mine nor person in such
contractors employ. Thorough inspec'
ton of the mines must be made once in
every II or "a hours, according to GER
tain conditions. The examination of the
shafts must be made once week, There
are other provisions relating to the use OF
gunpowder and other explosives. When
any breach of these rules shall result il
the death or injury Of any person. the
negligent party will be held amenable tC
the courts. A few convictions under the
bill, when it becomes law, will 60 far II
do away with the prevalent lecklessnes
in co al mine administration.

When hear the south winds signing,
As they pass;
And the shadow clouds are lying
On the grass;
And the softly singing river
Flows and turns,
Flinging wavelots all a-quiver
Mong the ferns.
Then I'm thinking of blossom,
That was mine;
Which ] folded to my bosom,
A short time;
Till learned to love and cherish
1t too well.
How saw it drop and perish,

Like lilly, full Of sweetness,
Every hour;
Full Of love and life's completeness,
Was my flower.
Eyes Of soft bewildering splendor,
Like the night,
When the moon, with love.look tender.
Sheds her light.
And my heart-strings iwined about her
Every day;
Till felt to do without her,
Was to die.
But the angels, in their wanderings
After flowers,
Plucked my lilly, in the mornings
Rosy hours.
While the dew Of sweet affections
On it lay;
While twas besming with perfectlon's
Holy ray.
So yielded up the blossom,
That was niue,
Which I'd folded on my bosom,
A short time.
And q reckless crib they made her.
o, so light!
And beneath the grass they laid her,
Out Of sight.
But felt that life immortal
Would be hers,
When she entered heavens portal.

throughout the concert. Madame Lieut.

WHAT THE ALABAMA CLAIMS ARR
WoRrH.-A London actuary has been
figuring out, at the request of the Eng
lish Board of Trade, the amount Of dl'
rect damages which ought to be awarded
to our Government under the Treaty Of
Washington. Against the depreciation
of eleven cruisers the sum claimed by
the United States amounts to Sl7,I63
90. but the British accountant has cut
it down to 5000, 6s5, under genera
classification of items. He assumes
that the greater part OF further claim
of 81 S0,47S,on account Of the pursuits
of certain Confederation cruisers is al
most entirely inadmissable.

hope, however, that no half measures

the authorities OF the town, nor of the
proprietors of our mills. But we have

The Geneva ArbitratIon-The Indirect
Claims Disposed of.

New York, June %.
A special to the Herald from Geneva
says 1t has at last transpired that the
question Of indirect claims has been def
nitely settled-the American agent and
counsel having been instructed by their
government to declare that the United
States government did not seek money
award for indirect losses, but only de-
sired a settlement of the principle in
volved. Lord Tenterden, on the part Of
his government, called the attention of
the Court to the seventh article Of the
treaty, which gives the arbitrators au.
thority only to consider claims in rela-
ton to money award, and submitted
that since the United States government
declared they did not seek money
award for these classes of claims, they
could not properly be entertained by the
Court The American counsel there
upon demanded judgment on this issue
by the Court. The Court took time for
its decision, but is known to have decided
in favor Of the point raised by Lord Ten
terden aud against the admissiblity .
indirect claims This judgment will be
delivered, it is said,when the Court meet
next Wednesday, the 18th instant, anC
10 rorortei TO no ooooptnh la TO both gov
ernments. All the members Of the Cour
have left for Chamounix. They intend

counsel on both sides will exchange tn,
results Of their latest instructions aud ar
range the order in which business will
proceed. During the interval, Lcr'
Granville will negotiate with Mr.. Fis
on the subject. 1t is believed that wbeI
the arbitrator meet again the sitting
will be public.
