What He Saw, and What He Evolved
from his Inner Consciousness.
MEMPHIS, Feb. 13-ThiS afternoon a
press reporter of this city received a trian-
gJllar note through the postoffice from the
sublime Olcres Of Mystick Memphi, inform
ing him that if he would proceed alone to
the mounds below Fort Pickering at five
o'clock and quietly submit TO the treatment
imposed upon him he would be favored
with a glimpse of the cavernOus abode of the
Memphi, and the preparations for the ap-
preaching carnival. At the appointed hour
the reporter seated himself upon the great
mound. In a few moments a carriage
drove up from which two strangers alighted
and after saluting. the reporter, inquired
his name, upon the reception of which he
was answered'yeu are eexpected-please en-
ter the carriage" which was no sooner ac-
ceded to than lie was seized, bound, blind
folded and the carriage driven off at rapid
gait. AFTER riding about an hour, as it
seemed TO the bewildered item hunter, the
carriage stopped. he was assisted to
alight and escorted down
InnumerabIe Steps
into what seemed a vast vault or cave, at
the further end of which heavy blows were
struck upon a door or gate. After some
words had passed in a whisper, tine door
was opened. The party entered and were
greeted with "BehOld the abode of the
Memphi," yelled through a speaking-trum-
pet, at which the bandage was removed and
he seemed to be facing some forty calcium
lights. After his eyes had become accus-
toned to the brilliant light. he beheld a
long vista stretching away through groves
Of palm trees, with pyramids and sphynX X.
the foreground. To the left was an oasis
under which some camels were reclining
chewing-maTk, twas correspondence of
gum. Near by were a groupe OF Orientals.
To the right, VeSuvius,
Or Some other Volcano
emitting dense volumes Of fire and smoke,
while from the crater three horsemen, in
the rich dress of the East, were emerging
from the fire on winged steeds. Far down
the vista appeared an untold number of
richly attired cavaliers mounted on pow
erful Steeds, covered with rich trappings.
Bodies of soldiers, likewise in Oriental
dress, banners with curious designs, which,
with bright arms glittering through the
groves Of palms and far beyond, golden
galleys floating upon the great river, made
a picture before which the Arabian Nights
or the transformation scene in the Black
Crook paled. The reporter had scarcely
time to take few mental notes ere he was
again seized and blindfOlded and taken
back to the carriage and soon returned to
the mound, where he was released and told
to let the world know what he had beheld.

THE art of becoming suddenly rich
is pretty well understood by the eoficials
of Minnesota. 1t has Just been de-
veloped that the ex-AuditOr of that
State, who went into Office two years
ago a poor man, now counts his wealth
by the hundreds Of thousands of dol
lars. His salary was $4,000 year.
While he has been increasing his world
ly goods, the State Treasury has be-
come depleted, and putting this and
that together, the people have become
convinced that the Auditor did not
come by his wealth honestly. Some
facts have also come TO light that con-
firm this impression, and he is to be
proceeded against for defrauding the
State.-Chicaq0 Times.

THE COAL DIFFICULTIES.

There were no new developments yesterday in
this city in connection with the trouble among
the coal miners Of the Schuykill and WIlkesbarre
regions. Most OF the prominent o1icers OF coal
companies having Offices in New York think that
the strike cannot materially AFFECT the coal Market
even II il should prove to be prolonged one.
Mr.. Wilson, OF the Wkesbarre Company. said It
was not the policy of any of the companies to ad-
vance the price Of coal. 1t would be impossible
for him to say whether the demands OF the miners
could be acceded to or not. The difference between
the companies and the miners was small that
to 1t wOuld not greatly advance the price Of coal.
This company employs 1850 men, and Mr.. Wilson
thinks that, as there mas been general shrinkage
of values and labor, the miners ought to partlcl-
pate in 1t.
The principal difficulty is among the 10000
miners Oh the Philadelphia and Reading Company
in the SchuylklIl region. The main office OF the
company Is In Philadelphia and Mr.. GOwen, the
President, Is represented in this city by Mr.. Quin
tard, of Broad street. Mr.. Quintard was very reti-
cent, and said that Mr.. Gowen was the only one
would be acceded to or not. When asked whether he
expected an advance on the present price OF coal
Mr.. Quintard said he would be willing to sell the
reporter coal for ten years at an advance OF fifty
cents over the prices OF last year. He could not
tell how prolonged strike would AFFECT the mar
ket but did not think that the effect could be seri-
Gus. He expected a fair trade this year, as the
business OF the country was reviving rapidly. In
regard to the policy OF the company In the present
the action already taken by the President, Mr..
