The Iron Strike I'm Wales.

The Welsh collieries are divided into
three classes, according to the uses to
which the Goals are applied. Some sup
ply the iron works, while others provide
household Goals and Goals for steam
purposes. It is the iron-workers' col
iiers who have struck, and the iron
workers are also thrown out. Fully Co.
900 men are idle. A correspondent says
that six months ago the colliers got an
advance of ten per cent on their wages.
This was refused and not insisted upon.
Now the masters, finding prices declin-
ing, insist upon taking off the ten per
cent. already conceded, and going back
to the old scale. This has caused the
strike. The iron masters being wealthy
many of them worth from one million
to ten million dollars-the men will suf-
fer more than the masters, and much
misery is expected to follow the strike
unless one side or the other yields.

Struck by n Whale.

While the Schooner Watauga was run
ming up the Gulf stream with six or
seven knot breeze sudden and heavy
shock and jar was felt, and all supposed
that the vessel had scudded into a sea
with violence. The next moment a
pair Of whales were seen close along
side to lceward. One of them was
frisky enough, and made off rapidly,
but the other seemed loggy, moved
with apparent difficulty, and presently
disclosed q huge cash in his side, from
which the blood was issuing and color
ing the sea about. The Watauga passed
on, and soon lost sight of the whale,
when it was discovered that the false
stem was torn of, her main stem split,
and the wood ends started. The bob
stay, had, of course, parted, and the
bowspirit was adrift: She was after
wards found to be leaking, and was
with difficulty kept free, until she made
Point Peter, where temporary repairs
were made to enable her to reach home.
Upon her arrival at Washington she
was repaired, and the damage found to
exceed 800.
Her stem bolts, of II inch iron, were
bent down, evidently by the vessels ef-
fort to rise clear of the whale.
If that fish survives, he will probably
avoid further contact with crafts of
every description, and inwardly chuckle
over the last disaster to the Watauga.

Incidents ut q Fair.

About the Place de Ia Bastille, Paris,
there is q regular Fair, the booths being
more numerous than common, but all
stocked with children's toys. A pale,
wan, emaciated young woman, leading
a little boy by the hand, was seen going
about from booth to booth, and both
gazing wistfully at the things which
were beyond their reach. Both were
meanly, scantily clad, and both showed
traces of great poverty, and of pro-
longed misery. On passing a booth
where number of dolls were spread
out in basket, the boy took one in his
hand, but was Immediately seized by
the dealer. He brutally seized the child
by the ear, and cried: "Help! help!"
A crowd was instantly collected, and the
police soon upon the spot. The poor
mother clasped her hands in supplica-
ton. "Oh! pardon him. she prayed;
she is only seven years of age-he had
no toys-nothing-and he wanted one
SO muchl" The dealer turned his rage
upon her and called her an accomplice,
and, in spite of the protests of all pres
ent, he insisted upon having both ar
rested, ana preferred u cnarSe ol rop-
berry against them. Both have remained
in custody up to this moment, awaiting
their turn for trial. A far more pleas
ant scene occurred on the Boulevard
Bonne Nouvelle. A member of our
American colony was walking about
with his little girl, five years of age,
when they met procession of orphan
children. The little girl asked the
meaning of their checked costume and
blue ribbons, and on being told that
they were poor-girls who had no par
ents, she asked who. gave them their
New Years gifts. On being told that
they had none, she was greatly affected,
and proposed that she should give them
her toys. Touched himself, or anxious
to encourage the charitable disposition
shown by his daughter at this early
