The South Wales Strike.

The workmen's side of the question
at issue in the great strike i'll South
Wales is thus told by "Union Agent
"a man speaking for one of the Trades
Unions. Being asked why the men
struck at all, seeing they had no funds
to fall back upon, he replied:
"Well, you see, Sir, the men had
three causes-leastwise they had one
cause and two reasons-they did not
like the ten per cent. reduction and
thought it was very unjust; they want
ed to get arbitration Established here,
like It's in Staffordshire and then,
agen, they thought the ironmasters
would give in almost directly, looking
at the way in which iron was going up.
If it had not been for the golfers be-
lieve we would have got all we wanted;
but the colliers angered the masters,
and they got 'sulky.' The fremen in
South Wales have always been paid too
low. There's iron went up from $32. 80
five years ago to $50 and $55 in 1872,
and all the men got was two advances
of 10 per cent. equivalent to 4S cents
per ton, while the English and Scotch
puddlers have received advances of
81. 25 per ton in the same period. Mr..
Crawshay says as he have advanced
the wages of his men 100 per cent; but
there is not a man in Cyfarthfa, Sir,
that can say he has received such an in
crease. You see, it is the men in the
North of England who have been stir
ring us up. 1 have worked up there
myself, and a lot of Welshmen have
been there. Well, the men round Mid
dlesborough way, they say why do
you work for such low wages? Don't
you see your masters can sell iron for
less han ourn, and our gaffers will be
coming to us by and by and saying you
must take lower wages to enable us to
make iron cheaper and compete with
the Welsh ironmasters. Yes, Sir, that S
true, to my knowledge; wages are low
er here, and so is the cost of materials.
Put this down and you'll see. The
Welsh ironmasters can make pig iron
at 1915 a ton. To make the same
brand of iron down at Consett or Mid
dlesborough costs $4. 25 ton. There S
a gain of So. 80 ton to the Welsh mas
ter. Now, down in the North we pud-
dlers-I works as a puddler, sir,-get
$3 12 for a ton of common rails; but
here at Dowlais, and in all the Welsh
works, the puddlers get only $1,SO q
ton at most. That makes a total G lin
of 1915 a ton to our masters, and OF
course they can cut the others out.
so much the better for the Welsh
trade, you say So it is; but not fol
we. We don't get the benefit. We
wants to equalize the rate of wages
where we can, of course making allow.
ances; and that's why we asked for 6
ten per cent. advance in last October
It's hard lines that the men should be
obliged to accept reduction"

Natural Bridge Of Virginia.

J. Parry McCluer writes from Fancy
Hill, Va, concerning a phenomenon of
the most extraordinary description, and
one that is OF great interest He was
returning from visit to a friend with
Mr.. Poague, when he observed vapor
issuing from some crevices in the west
ern side of the famous Natural Bridge
of Virginia, and detected a peculiar
odor in the atmosphere. Upon telling
their friends of the circumstance, it
was suggested that the vapor was simply
mist, and the peculiar odor that of
polecat.
Mr.. McCluer, however, had occasion
to pass that way four days later, and
he found things in a sadly excited con-
dition. Heavy and intensely black
clouds. easily seen for a distance of a
mile, hung about the spot, and the ne
groes, who occupied the deserted
premises near by, had fsse1 to the hotel
in the vicinity. Every one about the
hotel seemed greatly frightened, and
many were preparing to depart. From
below the bridge volumes of deep black
smoke were rolling continually, except
when interrupted by jets of bright
fame, which occasionally fared up to a
great height. The surface of the ground
was warm for some distance around,
and was steaming visibly; the peculiar
smell be had before noticed was per-
ceptible to all. The rock on the western
side of the bridge was cracked by the
heat, and large masses had fallen into
Cedar Creek. The arch, as well as
could be seen at intervals, was still in
tact, but there was now and then to be
heard the crashing sound of a bowlder
as it dashed into the water below.
At Mr.. McCluer's request these facts
were laid before Prof J. L. Campbell, of
the Geological Department, who was
engaged number of years ago in the
geological survey of the region from
the Blue Ridge as far west as the Kan
awha coal-felds, during which his at
tention was attracted to this wonderful
structure which gives name to Rock
bridge County.
He says: "In examining critically
the formation, I discovered that the
bridge was composed of mountain lime,
with large assures filed with grahamite,
which, as is well known, is a kind of
bituminous coal or asphaltum, deposi-
ted in seams in formations of this pc
culiar kind. This grahamite was not,
of course, set on fire by any one such
an act would necessarily be impossible
as offending against the laws of omni-
potent construction. At some distance
above high-water mark, L detected sui
phurous deposits and traces of metallic
oxide.
The action of sulphur on the metallic
oxides, even in small quantities, in the
presence of water will generate heat to
a degree abundantly sufficient to ignite
a mass of as combustible nature as
the grahamite. The water, [ take it,
was supplied by the thawing of the
snow and the unprecedented rise of Ce-
dar Creek in the early part of last week.
So | am inclined to consider the cause
of this chemical action, and do not lean
toward attributing it, as suggested by
Mr.. McCluer, to the action of cleo
tricity."

SWindled by Gamblers.

When will men, particularly those ig-
norant of the ways of gamblers, let those
sharpers and their tricks alone? We
wish we could answer, but cannot. Here
is case from a western city which
shows how easily the green ones bite at
the bate thrown them. A young man
visiting the city had heard great deal
about the gamblers and ropers, and fan
cied he would like to tackle some of
them. He had always said he knew a
thing or two, and now was the time to
make it pay.
OF course a gentleman of this kind
didn't run very long without meeting
the men he was looking for. Besides it
so happened that he was the very man
they wanted, which made it very cheer
full and satisfactory on all sides, and
enabled them to glide pleasantly into a
little game of twenty-one, without any
foolish formalities. Our country boy
was accompanied by a couple offriends,
who possessed more modeGty and good
deal more experience than he, and who
tried TO convince him that he was run
ming a great risk. But no; twerty-one
was his particular game. He knew all
about it, and besides there were some
wrinkles in that thing-and here he
winked in such meaning way that his
friends were instantly restored to cheer
fulness.
The game progressed, and at last our
cunning gentleman thought he saw
where his wrinkle" would come in
The dealer being a well-mapuered man
turned his head an instant TO expector-
ate. Quick as lightning our rural friend
tipped up the top card on the deck. 1t
was a five.
When the dealer resumed his posi-
tion, the other was ipnoceutly contem-
plating his hand. He had a ten and
six thatwas sixteen and the five would
make him twenty-oDe. Calling up a
dark and fearful frown of rage, aud af-
fectiug to be overcome with savage dis
appointment he remarked:
"Tve been losing some, and dashed
if / don't wish I'd bet $500"
"Perhaps you've got natural p
said the dealer, inquiringly.
emo; [ want to draw But I wish ]
had bet $500, all the same"
"Well, if you mean to draw, I don't
mind letting you change your bet. Any
amount you please, sir. y
1t was hard for our artful gentleman
to keep down the grin of fendish glee
which struggled to show itself, but he
succeeded. He turned to his compan-
ions with meaning look, and then took
out his $500 and called for card.
Any one watching the dealers face as
he dealt that card, would have been
startled but the same person, noticing
the others expression as he picked il
up, would have been much more than
startled. That card was nine.

Methods of Drinking Water.

The natives of Kamtschatka, when
first discovered by Russian sailors, were
probably the only nation on earth who
drank nothing but water yet, as if to
compensate for this, they enjoyed their
one beverage in manner not dreamed
of in civilized countries, carrying their
drinking capacity to an extent which
makes one shudder to think of. They
commenced to drink water even before
eating, taking nearly two quarts before
their first meal; so they continued dur
ing the day, and when night came, their
last labor was to place huge vessel of
water by their bedside, and to fill it
brimful with snow and ice. Next
morning the bucket was empty. The
Lapp and the Greenlanders, on the
other hand, prefer it warm. Both ma
tions keep large copper kettle, or
where such luxuries are still unknown,
ponderous vessel of wood, adorned
with bone knobs and hoops, constantly
boiling. A large, well-carved spoon is
ever ready, and from morn till night
the thirsty natives are drinking the
nauseous liquid.

NaYigatiOn Cut OFF.

The Southwest Pass, one of the three
mouths of the Mississippi River, pre-
sented lately an extraordinary spectacle.
For two years past the dredge-boat
EsSayolS has managed to keep the mud
out of the bar sufficiently to give in
gress aid egress to the largest vessels.
A few days since, however, the ship
Dilhmree, drawing nineteen feet nine
inches of water, was towed from New
Orleans down to the Pass, and though a
fog was prevailing at the time, the
effort was made to get her over the bar,
the water covering which was slightly
over twenty feet in depth. In attempt
ing to cross, however, the ships bow
struck lump of mud, and in swinging
round her stem struck another, and
there she lay completely blocking up
the channel, with the mud of the Mis-
sissippi, settling up against her sides
as against breakwater. A large num-
Der of vessels were prevented from get
ting into the river, and those in could
not get out.

How to Manage Runaway Horses.

The New York Times makes these
suggestions on the above subject AL
ways stick to your horses so long as
they are fast to the carriage. If line
breaks or the bits give way, step out of
the fore end of the carriage, even when
the team may be running, take hold of
the harness and spring on the back of
one of the animals. Once astride of a
horse, one can reach forward, grasp his
nose, and soon check his speed. When
horse is running toward you, as he
comes up, stand so that he will be with
in reach as he dashes past then make
calculations to seize the reins near the
bits with one hand and to grasp them
or the top of the names with the other
hand. A man may expect to be carried
twenty rods but if he will hang to the
reins horse will soon stop.
We saw fine horse running away a
few days since, with wagon and load
of barrels. After passing hundreds of
persons who tried in vain to stop him,
lad sprang to the rear of the wagon as
it passed, climbed up among the bar
rels, went to the forward end, and the
lines being on the ground he stepped
along on the thills, got on his back and
stopped him before he had run one
eighth of a mile. The numerous acci-
dents in consequence of horses running
away suggest the eminent importance of
teaching them the monosyllable, whoa |!
A horse is never half trained or half ed
ucated until he has learned that whoa
signifies to halt But, in the first place,
teamsters must be educated to employ
that word at no other time than when it
is desirable to have team stop. When
the word is used let it be spoken with a
full, open and sound voice.
