Another Mining Horror.

New 7 ORR, June IT.
Yesterday afternoon an explosion oc-
Cured in the Henry Clay colliery at
Shamokin, Pa, operated by the Phila-
delphia and Reading coal and iron COM
pany. The colliery had not been in
spected for some time, but was always
considered safe. .Sixty-five men are en-
ployed in it. The explosion was caused,
it is thought; by tire-damp being fired.
The miners, not being accustomed to
black-damp, remained in the slope until
almost overcome, and then, starting to
come up, met body of after-damp and
fell senseless and smothering.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.
Special dispatches from Pottsvllle
give the. following details of the disaster.
The body of John Hays, the boss, and
that of Magruskie, a Polander, drowned
by his side, were first brought out. A
German was brought out insensibie, but,
being restored and taken home; he drank
a glass of water and died instantly. The
explosion threw down the air batteries
and abattis, and knocked down pillar
in the bottom of the slope. Five hours
after the occurrence the air was good in
the mine, showing good ventilation and
that the accident resulted from old gas
exploding, as first reported AS far as
now ascertained, there are twelve vic
Tins.
SCENE ABOUT THE MINE.
A dispatch sent from the point of the
disaster, at one a. m, on Wednesday,
says;
The scenes are heartrending in the ex-
IRENE. BY the dim and Pickering light
of the miners lamps, weeping, sorrow
stricken wives are hunting among the
dead and dying lying together on the
ground, or bending over the lifeless forms
of husbands, filing the air with their
lamentations. Children are crying over
the corpses of their fathers, and great
crowd surges about the wagons asthey
come up at the slope each time, to gain
the name of the next unfortunate. The
brought up not yet dead, lie shiyering
on the ground, while their are bending
over and trying hard to restore them.
Some less injured than the rest are
walking about among the excited assem-.
blage relating their story of the. acct
dent and their.recollection of the terri
bic scenes in the cavern of horror
through which the had just passed. Al

appears to know who or how many were

SUCCESSIVE changes in postage on letters,
which have been made by our government
since our first postage act was passed in
1882, form an interesting and curious his
tory. The earliest system was compllcat-
ed. The lowest postage was six cents 10
places within thirty miles, and II increas-
ed with the distance, twenty-five cents be-
ing required when letter was sent TO plac-
es more than four hundred miles distant.
In 1870 the lowest rate was made eight
cents within forty miles the highest twen-
ty-five cents, over i've hundred miles. Tho
law was smplifed in 1916, but six cents
was still the minimum rate, and twenty
five the maximum. No material change
was then made until 1S45, when five cents
became the postage for letters carried dis
tance of less than three hundred miles,
and ten cents for all 81 eater distances. The
"drop-letter" system was also then intro
duced, and weight was made tho ground Of
distinction between "sipgle' and "double"
letters, instead Of the number of sheets OF
paper. The law of 1851 made three cents
the single rate for prepaid letters within
three thousand miles, and six cents for
greater distances. Prepayment was first
required in 1855, the rates remaining un-
changed; but in 1868 the present rate of
three cents, prepaid by stamps, for all dis
tances, was established. The postal reve-
nue. has steadily increased from year 10
year since 1851.

on that day of all the year when eccentric

ness in Holland was to chronicle the cele-
bration of another LIST OF April, that on
which Ferdinando Alvarez de Toledo lost
Brill. His loss was the gain Of Dutchland,
and the Dutcblanders were resolved to
commemorate it in the orthodox way, that
Is TO say, by professions and pyrotechnics,
services in the churches and carousas in
the taverns.
Rotterdam was the locality pitched on
to witness the rejoicing, and Rotterdam
during that period was sight TO confound
the man bred in the insular notion that the
Dutchman was phlegmatic. Mynteer Van
Dunck had become Jean de Paris for the
nonce.
1t was saturnalia. Nothing was sluggish
in the town but the canals, nothing fiat but
the beer. The specially of the festival that
impressed my retina most was the univer-
sal tendency to orange. The streets had
broken out into violent eruption of or
ange flags; the ships in the river were
dressed in orange bunting; poodles dyed a
vivid orange, trotted at the heels of ladies'
in orange robes the correct thing was to
blow ones nose In orange handkerchiefs.
In the hotel 1t was as bad; we washed
down orange jelles with deep draughts of
orangeade, cried "orange Roven," and
sang canticles 10 William of Orange. AL
together II was enough to drive an Ulster
orangeman dellrious with holy joy, and
to create suspicion in the mind of less

WHY JEWS DON'T PRosELYTE-We are
not and never can be propagandists, in the
Christian sense, because we sincerely be-
lievo that it is by the life and not by the
creed that men are judged. 1t is an old
saying of our rabbis that the pious of every
nation have a share in future bliss. Hold
ing to this belief, we do not regard il as our
duty to propagate our creed, even if we
had the influence and the numbers to de-
vote ourselves 10 such wild scheme, Jews
never court proselytes. A good man is no
better by becoming good Jew. 1t is the
goodness, after all, which has the saving
power, whether the man be Jew. Christian,
or Mohammedan. We have nothing but
praise and admiration for Christians who
work to lead men to better life-who are
carrying our Bible and theirs throughout
the habitable globe, that its light may warm
the ignorant and redeem the vicious. In
the Crstian's labor Of self sacrifice, the Jew,
too, may join at no very distant date.
Hitherto, we have not had time TO grow
and flourish. Scarcely have we rested our
feet and acquired little influence, before
presumably Christian kings have pounced
upon our treasures, and cast us into prison
or exile. We do not bear them any ill will
on that account, for they religiously sup
posed they were fulfilling prophecy by
splitting on us and plucking our boards,
but it was a little unjust thus to knock us
into the mud and blame us for being smear
ed with dirt. However, that day is past.
At present, we have work enough to puri-
fy ourselves, rather than cleanse the Hot
tentot. Let us live quietly in America for
so years more, and If our people are true
to themselves, who knows what sublime
scheme of propagandsm they shall origi-
nate ?-JeWish Messenger.

SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WoRLD.-The
''seven wonders" of the world are among
the traditions of childhood, and yet it is
remarkable fact that ninety mine persons
out of one hundred who might be asked
the question could not name them. They
are the Pyramids-the mystery of the past

during for the future ages of the world.

Assyria and the residence OF the kings of
that country after the destruction of MIN

piter Olympus, the most renowned work
of Phidias, the illustrious artist of Greece.
The statue was formed of gold, and was
sitting on a throne almost touching the
summit of the temple which was seventy
feet high. The Temple Of Diana at Ephe-
sus, which was two hundred and twenty
years in building, and which was four hun
dred and twenty-five feet in length, and
two hundred and twenty feet in breadth,
and supported by one hundred aud twen-
ty-seven marble columns Of the Ionic or
der, sixty feet high. The Mausoleum at
Halcarnassus, erected in the memory of
Mausolus, the King of Caria, by his wife
Artemesia, B. c. three hundred and fifty

house erected by Ptolemy Sotor at the en-
trance of the harbor. 1t was four hundred
and sixty feet high, and could be seen at a
distance OF one hundred miles. Upon 1t
were inscribed, "King Ptolemy, to the
gods, the saviours, for the benefit of sail
ors." Lastly, the Colossus at Rhodes, a
brazen image of Apollo, one hundred and
five Grecal feet in height, which was to be
located at the entrance of the harbors OF
