eB- Michael Leahy, who recently gradu-
ated at the Pittsfeld Mass High School
at the age of 81 years. obtained his educa
tion under difficulties. When a child,
while playing on the railroad track, he
was run over by trair, and it was neces
sary to amputate both arms so close to the
shoulder that no perceptible stumps are
left. Nevertheless, he has persevered in
his studies, has not been absent or tardy
once in his four years course at the High
School, and has become proficient in the
branches there taught, turning the leaves
of his book with his tongue. He has also
acquired very legible and even handsome
style of penmanship, which he executes
with his mouth.

ravlor Williams Mines.

Mr.Taylor Williams. of Sterling, was at the
Harper House this friday morning and
he informed areporter for The ARGUS that
"a miners had arrived from Braidwood
and that % of them were at work undis-
turbed in his Cleveland Henry county,
mines. on Rock river. He also said that
he had telegraphed to Braidwood for 60
or 80 more men who we're expected soon.
He said he also had small force of Is
men at work in his Rapids City mines,
and that he hoped in a very short time to
be running as usual.
Mr.. Dan A. DIN, general superintend-
emf of the Western Union K. X. was also
present and, ON being asked about a
sunply of coal for his road replied that they
had no difficulty whatever in procuring all
the coal they needed-that they had other
sources of supply than our county mines
and could get along without any of our
coal, - though he would prefer it from
here. He would not advise the coal oper-
ators to yield the right to manage their
own business.
Messrs. Heagy & Stoddard were at the
Harper House last evening. There is no
change at their mines, except that large
proportion, perhaps majority, of their
men would be glad to resume work on the
operators terms but are deferred by fears
of disturbance, etc. Some of them have
gone to other points. Quite number OF
the miners occupy houses belonging to
Heagy & Stoddard. 1t seems rather hard
that Heagy & Stoddard cannot control the
use of their own property. Of course the
miners have right to work or not, as
they please; and right to set their own
price upon their services-but if the oper-
ators do not choose to pay the price the
miners should give place to men who are
willing to work at the price offered.
The principle of intimidation and force
to prevent men from working if they
choose to is wrong and cannot be defend
ed. is an injury to the miners as class.

cine which so completely remedied nearly
all human ills. One of the great levers
which this medicine brings to bear
upon the system is, it attacks the
