TIE MINER.
The condition OF the miner in Streator
Is much the same as your correspondent
has found In other places. Some working
ON half time and a good many not work
ing at ALL The company here is a remorse-
less taskmaster, demanding all that is pos
sible from the laborer for the least possible
amount They are subjected to all sorts
Of Inconvenience They have to pay the
highest prices for everything they consume,
not being allowed to purchase at first price
from the farmer, because if the farmer will
sell to the miner, none Of the city traders
will buy from the farmer. So that this
keeps continued barrier between them.
But this barrier, thanks to the progress Of
labor reform, is about to be broken down.
The spirit q
COOPERATION
has arisen among the miners of Streator,
and a movement in that direction Is on
foot. They had one meeting short time
since, at which the Question was discussed,
and another meeting will be held on next
Saturday to further consider the matter
The
mere is in a demoralized condition, most Of
the men belonging to it being discharged
from the company's works. Some are
working in the country hunks, and many
have left the city. There are some good
union men left, and they have determined
to hold another meeting on Monday night,
at which the question of unionism will be
discussed.
EACH NATIONALITY
here has its society. The English have
the st. Georges, the Scotch the st. An
drew's, the WEIGH the st. David 5, and the
Irish the st Patricks. All, as far as | can
understand, have good membership, and
in their respective spheres are doing
good work.
BUSINESS,
as a general thing, is very dull, there
being little OF no money IN circulation.
Many Of the miners are making prepare
lions to leave for the other county, and as
the mining interests Of this place is one Of
the interests of il, it will feel the blow
very severely, unless it is checked in time.

The IDENTICAL WHALE, w hales are
supposed to live to q great age; and,
apropos, o story is told Of q sailor
whose boat was wrecked, while he
and his mess-mates were tossed high
in the air by mad whales fukees.
AS he came down, after half an hour
had elapsed, the whale awaited him
with open mouth, and instead Of
sinking as deep into the Sea as he
had been in the air, he slid smoothly
into the whales interior. AS soon as
he recovered his breath he drew out
his tobacco box and helped himself
to d liberal "quid" which he rolled
over and over in his mouth, as he
laughed at his adventure. Presently
he arose from the soft but moist
couch upon which he had fallen, and
surveyed the apartment, which CON
tained many wonders, you may be
sure. Some writing on one Of the
walls attlacted his attention,and on
examination it proved to be the
words, "Jonah, B. o., 862." This
amused him SO much that the "quid"
fell out Of his mouth, and the whale
at once began to writhe and show q
violent dislike to nicotine. A happy
idea occurred to him, and he cut his
plug of tobacco into small pieces,
which he distributed over the floor,
The whale then heaved more violent
ly than before, and while Jack was
holding his sides at the joke, he was
thrown into the water and almost on
board Of the ships boats. Some Of
his comrades doubted his wondrous
story, but, for The benefit Of unbe-
levers, he had brought back with
him a pocket-knife, with buckhorn
handle, on which were carved Jonah's
initials and an American eagle "a

THE GERMAN REIoHsTAa. The En-
peror William opened the Reichstng
in person, His speech advised the
establishment Of uniform methods of
judicial procedure and Of equal civil
rights in the Empire, A badget
was requested for Alsace and Lor-
raine, "that most ancient German
territory" /" and it was announced that
bills would be presented for tile reg
ulation of the issue of paper money.
The most important part Of the
speech was in respect to the relations
of tho German Empire with the rest
Of Europe. The Emperor declared
that its united powers would not be
employed otherwise than for defense,
He considered the friendship Of
other rulers as a guarantee for the
continuance Of peace, IN which en-
tire confidence might be reposed,
Net he stated that the present appro-
priations for the support Of the army
we're inadequate, and that more mon
ey would be needed 10 maintain its
efficiency. The necessity Of being
constantly prepared for, war does moi

The ExpuIsions from Alsace.

The following account of the expul-
sion of the Marists from Alsace, which
appeared in the Paris papers of last
week, will show how Bismarck's 8 policy
is judged in the annexed province. In
detested that it is thought that if the
government could decently give up La
Lorraine they would do so:
Ammerschwiller is small town con-
tanning two thousand inhabitants. 1t is
twenty-five miles from Colmar, and forms
part Of the new cercle of Ribeauville. For
many years the Marists gave instruction
to the youth of the country and we're be-
loved by all the inhabitants. Monday,
the 2lst of September, was the day fixed
for their expulsion by the Prussian gov
ernment. Neither prayers nor petitions
on the part of the inhabitants had any
effect on the determination volonte de
fer which rules Alsace. On Sunday,
September goth, the rector of Ammer-
schwiller pronounced in the pulpit
the farewell of the poor brothers to
the inhabitants The church was full.
All the Catholics we're present. Great
emotion existed in the assembly. After
Mass the principal inhabitants went to
school to take leave of the brothers.
Then the scholars came with an immense
bouquet of flowers, tied with black crepe.
The superior who is native of the
town, could not hide his emotion, and
had to retire in order to hide his tears.
In the evening the musicians went to
give a serenade to the innocent pro-
scribed men. The day of their depar-
ture the Sinn public square) was crowd
ed with coaches, omnibuses, cabs, and
people on foot, who had come to ac-
company the exiled brothers. Three
large coaches were filled with the pupilc;
the omnibuses were crowded with men
and women. At one o'clock three large
coaches, driven by the first men of the
town, went for the brothers at the pres
bytery, where they had breakfasted, and
then the ovation began. Long live the
brothers!" I'VE shall see them againF
the crowd shouted. Bouquets of flow
ers we're thrown into the carriages and
literally covered the exiles. They were
accompanied by the whole population to
the station of Ribeauville. AS the gov
ernment had refused to pay them the
last quarter a subscription was set on
foot, and the names of Catholics, Pro
testants and Jews were given in it,
which produced thousand francs. In
this way it was that the poor brothers
left us, not as prescribed men, but tri-
umphant
This system of oppression on the part
of a nation that pretends to lead clvlli-
cation cannot bring adherents to the
German government nor inspire conf
dence at home or abroad. Bismarck
must begin to feel that he has gone too
far, and his arbitrary arrest of Count
dArnim is not calculated to make
him popular. If this be civilization, the
sooner we return to what he calls bar
barism the better. Protestants and Jews
condemning his policy openly ought to
make him reflect, but he knows no other
law than his iron will and is faithful to his
maxim, La force prime lie droit. How
long the people OF the annexed prov
inees and those of Bavaria, Hanover,
etc. will submit to such despotism is
hard to tell, but it ca not be forever.

On visiting the statuary in Paris one
finds none of that contemplate mock
modesty which prevails to so considerable
an extent on the American shores of the
Atlantic. Where statue exhibits nu-
dity, there is no attempt at concealing
any portion of the anatomy. | had the
curiosity to watch the faces of visitors
who were young girls, and in no instance
did they blush or show evidence OF dis
composure They seemed to compre-
hend perfectly that it was work of art,
and nothing more, upon which they were
gazing None of the lady visitors-at
least those of them who we're French
had for such exhibition any of those
averted glanees; the strained pretense OF
being offended, the color of false mod.
esty mounting into their faces, which
one under similar circumstances, sees
so often among our American women.
In this direction, true modesty is on the
side of the French woman. She then
looks and acts as if she had no knowl-
edge of evil, while her American sister
seems to betray the fact that she is in
the possession of full information. In
this respect, we have good deal to learn
from French and English women, and
which, when learned, will be OF great
advantage to our American fair sex.

ON THE TERRACE.

Stood on the terrace together;
Mid the bright rose thickets the jewellers
strayed,
And hidden music sweet melodies made.
And the fete in the July weather.
With careless. languid courtesy.
She bent to hear him speak
Of the newest book and the latest play,
of the keenest move in the statesman's fray,
Of the freshest topic of the day,
Of the marvel of the week.
Lightly, with his practiced tongue,
He touched on all and each.
With here a sneer, and there a jest,
And now grave word, as to attest,
give you the foam on the top-the rest
No passing hand can reach"
Yet once, ali, me, how long ago!
Each one was all to the ether.
When every whispered word of his
Woke her young heart to dream Of bliss,
Does the ghost Of First Loves trembling kiss
Still lingering round them hover?
The measure of the music changed.
On the summer breeze there stole
A low. sweet. simple, homely. air,
Such as one listens to everywhere,
To the two who lounged on the terrace there
1t spoke as to heart and soul.
Her proud head dropped. his low voice ceased,
For moment in thought they stood,
Young, eager, fearless, happy and true,
AS when no cold wisdom claimed her due,
When love was fresh and hope was new,
At the tryst in the old oak wood.
A vivid flush on the,stern bronzed face,
A tear in the large blue eyes,
Then-back TO the woTld and its talk again,
Custom closed chill o'er the instant's pain,
For thought was a folly, and memory vain,
In the path that before them lies

A Fiery IncIdenl in a Theater.

On Tuesday evening, at the Metropoli-
tan Theater, New York, after the per-
formance of Lolo Lolo in her leap from
gallery to stage, several ropes depended
from the prosenium, etc. One of them,
light hemp, being slightly twisted, fell
across the footlights, breaking several
glasses, and was instantly ignited. The
danger was of the fame running up the
in6ammable rope and setting the pros
cenium and drapery on fire.
At that moment gentleman arose
from his seat in the stage box and seized
the rope with his left hand and stopped
the fame from ascending, and then with
his right hand firmly grasped the cen
tral fame and crushed it out. The full
audience, that had witnessed the act,
instantly gave him a hearty round of
applause. He turned and bowed in
acknowledgment Of the compliment,
when the audience, discovering that 1t
was the Count Joannes, repeated their
appreciation. The Counts hand was
slightly burned, and turning to the
thankful lessee, he said: You per
ceive that / have grasped and put out
the fire of Europe (your ropel, and have
received for It the applause OF the au-
dience in a merry key (Americal. Ihe
lessee made it the occasion for valua-
BILE present to the Count, as well as
grateful thanks.
