THE MoNoNGAHELA VALLEY.
The Miners Strike.

From the Mohongahela correspondence
Of the Pittsburgh Chronicle, We clip the
following oncerning the miners strike
mo cload without it's silver lining is an
idea that lies very near in these perilous
times. The long extended strike Of the
coal miners Of the Monongaheia Valley
has been one If the prominent causes Why
the bank stringencv has touched Pittsburgh
so lightly. comparatively speaking. of
course We admit that the trouble Is harder
than it should he, sill it would undoubt-
edlv have been aggravated if the coal OPP
orators were borrowers nov, instead oi be-
ing either out q tie money market pr even
lenders. The coal miners strike has come
at a most opportune moment. II Il had 10
come at all. Nearly SIX thousand men are
idle. and have 80 been for nearly three
months. Now, IN the ordinary run Of af-
fairs, the employers would have heen Dor
rowers. up t. this day, al least, "a the
amount Of two and half millions If dol
lars for wages, etc, until the coal was sold
in the lower markets. and they would
have depleted the bank assets to that
amount. all of which goes now Or has gone
to the assistance ~ the commercial and
manufacturing classes.

sight to see the thousands at empty coal
boats and barges i'll the river. The rusty
tracks, disused tipples and cars overgrown
BY summers weeds, Of a hundred coal
works, would form fine. but somewhat
inconclusive text for a sermon. Let us
trust that the difficulty will soon he over
come. one way or other. Meanwhile, we
recognize the silver lining Of the present
cloud.
There is this popularity about the coal
business that both parties act IN the utmost
rood humor, and the enforced leisure is
used by many Of the operators to improve
the condition Of their tracks, mining APP
purtenances, etc Walton 4 Co, at W est

and some thirty blocks Of houses near

way praiseworthy and judicious the pro
viding Of good homes for working people
and We hope this large-slghted form OF
investment will find many inquirers. 1t
costs but very little more to build good,
even handsome houses, and this Is sure to
attract the best class Of workmen, and to
those with families acre lots will be given
rent free for gardening purposes Kindly
forethoaght could go no further. and we
seem to get realizing glimpse Of the fact
that the interests of capital and labor do
not lie 50 far apart as some would have us
believe

SOWING CEREALS TOGETHER. OF late
years the attention of several experimental
English agriculturists (as well as some Ca
madam has been turned toward the posi-
bility of increasing the yield per acre Of
various cereals when sown together in tho
same field. There seems little doubt that
much larger yield can thus be obtained.
Instances are quoted where peas, oats, bar
ley and wheat allsown together, have pro-
duced very large yield. This plan has
been especially successful where various
sorts Of wheat alone have been sown tnge-
