INTERESTING CGETRASr.-AccOrding to the
annua report on shipping, recently laid he
fore the British Board OF Trade, it appears
hat the entries and clraranceS of vessels with
cargo, ut all ports of the United Kingdom,
increased from I,043.22D tons i'll 1889 to
81 ga $50 in 1870; yet, in view of this inl-
lncnSc increase OF maritime commerce, it Is
Il remarkable fact that the ratio OF British to
foreign tonnage was exactly the same in each
ycar--viZ.. los per cent. British, and 29.1
foreign
The shipping under the American Tag thus
rlnl loycd WAS 5IS,Gl4 in 1889 and .l34, 2lJ
in 1870 But in order TO show the fatal el:
feet of our civil war on American shipping
in the British trade it is necessary To contrast
the statistics of 1860 and 1870. During that
decade American tonnage i'm the direct trade
between the United States and the United
Kingdom fell from 2,24j,23l tons in 1860 to
SaG,G92 tolls in 1870. Again, it is shown
from the figures contrasting the progress OF
the merchant marine Of the United States
and the British Empire, from 1921 to 1871,
that the former had nearly overtaken the
British marine in 1861, and but for the civil
war might ere This have taken the lead.
The refusal OF Congress to allow Llmerl-
can craft TO renew their registers at home
again in the instance of those vessels which
had taken protection under the British flag
has exaggerated the real loss of American
tonnage. The vessels transferred repre-
scented IN aggregate tonnage OF sol ,3Ol tons,
which, added to that captured or destroyed
by cruisers and 2l5,97S tons purchased by
the Navy Department, gives Il total Of ,12l :
SSl tons of American shipping lost to com
mcrcc through the influence OF the war;

A QUEER WEDDING REcErrIoN.-A we'd
ding reception party was given not long since
in one of our smaller towns, and was duly
chronrled in the local newspaper. The sud-
den death of the brides brother in distant
town had called the newly-married pair from
the house OF teasting to the house OF mourrt-
ing. But the reception" Went on, not
withstanding. The guests were numerous,
the entertainment was abundant, the flowers
were beautiful and costly, the music was OF
a high order, and there was little dancing.
:. But over all, "says the writer of the notice,

bride, like the shirt of Nemesis. 1t IS with

Terrible Mayhem Committed upon n
Mining Boss. b
The Scranton (Pa.) aeptbiican says:

The Scranton (Pa.) Republican says:
g We are called upon TO chronicle one of
the most infamous, heartIess, and brutal at
tempts at murder TINT has taken place in this
valley for years. Edward Z. Jones, IN Eng
lishman 10y birth, aged about fifty-five years,
and inside boss at Carbon Hill colliery, be-
tween TayIorville and Lackawanna stations,
was attacked by seven men Yesterday morn
ing between and O'Clock, when on his
way TO work, and cut and beaten in such
Il shocking manner that it is thought he
cannot recover. The hends cut Off both
his ears, cut him seven times in the head
with some sharp instrument, and con-
fused wound on the back of the head,
broke his wrist, cut his hands in fear
full manner, and one shoulder showed evil
dence Of being struck with n large stone.
1t was in dense woods where the crime
was committed, and over quarter of a mile
from any habitation. They left him for
dead, no doubt, or thought him so badly in.
ilred that he would die before he would lie
found; but Mr.. Jones managed to walk or
crawl a distance of 4 quarter of mile to
neighbor'> house, and was lying on the steps
when found in an unconscious state. A
wagon was procured by Mr.. A. u. Weissen-:
tluh, and 4 mattress placed therein, upon
which the injured man was laid and taken TO
his home, where he lies in critical condi-
ton. DR.. Gibbs, Of HYDE Park, was called,
and dressed the wounds.
He SAYS he has little hopes OF his recovery.
Mr.. 4. Il. We>scnlluh, the outside boss, who
resides in Hyde Park, says lie went down to
the work this morning and got oft the train
at the breaker. lie noticed six or seven we'll
dressed young men. and perfect strangers,
coming out Of the woods where the crime
had occurred, and going down the railroad,
but thought nothing strange Of it. He then
went to go across 10 the other breaker, rs is
his usual custom, and hc discovered blood on
the track. He made inquiries in regard TO
the blood, and was told by some Of the men
that Mr.. Jones had been whipped. He
went up to see him, and found him
in the condition described above. He
says lr lElS no doubt but the party
he saw coming out of the woods are
the men who committed the deed. This
same party OF men We're seen going up in the
woods on Thursday morning about O'Clock,
and returning after seven. That morning
Mr.. Jones did not go through the woods to
the works, and they were toiled. Yesterday
morning they were seen by the party going
i'm the saline direction Is on the previous
morning, and in the woods where the crime
was committed. Mr.. John Stewart and
others are in pursuit of the scoundrels. and
we hope they will be captured and brought
to justice.
A warrant was issued by Justice Ensign,
of pttSton, Tor thearrc>; of three suspicious
looking men whO were seen around the place,
but nothing was proved against them. Three
or four others were afterwards arrested by
the Chief of Police, Alilligan, who is now
making every cycrlion to discover the tiend-

ENDURANCE OF THE MIND.-An English
Journal says curious note might be written
on the great age often attained hy literary
men. 4 prominent example is 10 he found
in Mr.. FnlIy, we'll known for his Byzantine
history, who, although upwards OF eighty
years old. is still the Times correspondent at
Athens. Mr.. CARLYLE, Sir Charles Lyell, Mr.
Darwin, the late Sir Roderick Murcllison,
and very many other names, occur to assist
in proving that the mind does not often wear
itself out il it is kept i'll constant USE. The
correspondent Of the Cincinnati commercial,
writing from Paris makes similar note
conforming French authors. Michclct. who
has just published his thhtieth historical
work, History OF the Nineteenth Century"
is seventy.iour. Gtiz,i, nc the age OF
eighty-fiye, is publishing Il history Of France,
in monthly parts. Another busy historian,
Mignet, IS Seyenty-six. Victor Hugo is i'll

refuge from the shame brought upon his

possessed of considerable property, resided

ears that his wife WAS crimnalIy intimate

At first Mr.. Dillon, who was kind and
faithful husband and II bountiful provider,
was incrcdulous. At length suspicious cir
cunlStances caused him to suspect that there
might he some foundation for the rllnur of
his wiIc'- inlidclty, and hc began to closely
observe her movements. Finally he obtained
most convincing proof OF his di>honor, and
