SUBMARINE LANDsCAPE.-When the sea
is perfectly clear and transparent, it allows
the eye to distinguish objects at very
great depth. Near Mindora, in the Indian
Ocean, the spotted corals are plainly visible
under twenty-five fatboms of water. The
crystalline clearness of the Caribbean Sea
excited the admiration of Columbus, who,
in the pursuit of his great discoveries, ever
retained an eye open for the beauties of
nature. "In passing over these splendidly
adorned grounds" says Schopf, where
marine life shows itself in an endless vari-
ETY. of forms, the boat, suspended over the
purest crystal, seems to float in the air, so
that a person unaccustomed to the scene
easily becomes giddy. On the clear sandy
bottom appear thousands of sea-stars, sea-
urchins, mollusks, and fishes of a brillian-
cy of color unknown in our temperate seas.
Fiery red, intense blue, lively green, and
golden yellow perpetually vary; the spec
tator floats over groves Of sea-plants,
gorgonias, corals, alcyoniums, habeliums,
and sponges, that afford no less delight to
the eye, and are no less gently agitated by
the heaving waters, than the most bcauti-
full garden on earth when gentle breeze
passes through the waving boughs, The
Sea and It's Wondcrs.

BOSTON Root and shoe Market.

BOSTON, TUESDAY, Nov. "a.
The shipments of boots and shoes from this market
to places outside of New England for the past week
have been 5 cases. and 62S cases rubbers, against
Total shipments since January /. 145,ss3 cases,
against 146 314 cases for the same period last year
There is not much to be said about the market at
this season, it is Just at the time when manufac
turers are closing up their production OF fall goods
and clearing up their factories of odds and ends
preparatory to commencing work on light goods =
The shipments in excess Of last year. and there
is evidently better demand Tor the West and South
west than there was year ago. Here and there
manufacturers have received orders for certain lines
of spring goods and factories will start up with
Increased production in week or two, but the ma
iority will wait for ORDERS The sale of heavy boots
ct the West continues light, but the retail dealers all
over the country think that their stock will not be too
large even for a mild season. Very little work will
be done, the present week in the shoe Shops and a
good many workmen are on vacation or at work
only a small portion of the time The general opn-
ion among the trade seems to be that while a fair
quantity Of goods will be wanted by the spring trade
there is need of extreme caution in production
able manufacturers to make even small profit.

OUTRAGES IN THE MINING

Thousands Of Unemployed and

DANGER OF A CALAMITOUS
OUTBREAK. n L N

New YORK, Nov. 25.--A Scranton, Pa, let-
ter gives an account of several murders recently
in that vicinity, one man, having actually been
cructied by drunken Drawers in Pleasant Vail
ley, near Scranton. The horrible state of af-
fairs proves to be due to the fact that in the
Wyoming and Lackawanna coal districts some
eight thousand miners are out of work, actually
starving. and riot, outrage and bloodshed are Of
daily aud nightly Occurrence. aE q CSC ~ sesl ~
At Carbondale, where are situated the mines
of the Delaware and Hudson Coal company,
there are 1900 souls, of whom only 500 are
now employed. All through that region the
stores and schools are closed or closing, and
drunken men and women are seen everywhere.
In and around Scranton and other Smaller
places contiguous, under the control of the
Delaware and Lackawanna Coal company.
thousands are also idle, and those who work IN
the mines 60 to and return from labor fully
armed. Murders are frequent, and theft and
assault the products of every hour.
There is no prospect of work. and winter is
just opening. There is no doubt this entire re-
glon is on the verge Of riot unlike any that
this country has ever seen before and riot
which only the entire country can forestall.
Though the awful moment has not yet arrived,
IT will surely come when a cry of agony brought
about by the cravings of hunger will 90 up
from this region for bread, and if that cry is
unanswered 5000 human souls, with their
shivering wives and children behind their backs
to urge them on, will seize the knife, the pis-
tol or the bludgeon, to find food in defiance of
civil law, and at the sacrifice of human life.
Ihe issue is inevitable, it must come. This
vast community cannot survive the winter

IF the Democracy are going to recognize
patriotic statesmen, why don't their journals
call upon the Democratic legislature of, Mis-
sonri to re-elect Senator Schurz? Haven't
their papers said all kinds of good things
about him the past two years? Why is it,
then, that the New York World advises its
Missouri party friends not to think OF re-
electirg Mr.. Schurz? Is he not for hard
money, local selfgovernment, revenue re.

1t is significant incident, as denotine the
growth in popularity and responsibility of
what until recently has been regarded as
among the grossest humbugs or impostures
of the age, that two of the leading American
magazines have surrendered their pages for
the month of December to discussion of the
reality, or rather attempt to prove the truth,
of what is known as modern spritua ism.
The time has evidently passed when this sub
ject can be ignored by intelligent people, or
pooh-poohed out of existence, or consigned
to the category of frauds or tricks of jugglery.
Whether it be mental hallucination, asthe
parsons believe, of the species of diabolism,
of the foreshadowing of a new and
