about $4,000 of the $4,000 bonus

we hope the balance viii soon be
made up, and they may accomplish
all they desire
They seem to get little steep on
figures there sometimes. They say
the works viii pay out Sj0,O00.- pr
month wages. That Is a great deal
of money, would pay 1000 men an
average Of s50,-per mouth. Il
there were 100 men employed not
more than I Of them would require

.Iaborers, 50 it : readily seen that if
the works are operated to their full

shove the real amount, and il Is not

THE PER1Ls OF THE M1NE-An
able French mining writer, Louis 81
monin, in the work on Underground
Life" speaking of the dangers of the
mine, says: ut is not without rea-
son that the art of mining borrows
some of its terms from the art of war,
that in France years work is called
a campaign, the different underground
work places, posts; gang Of miners
brigade, or squadron-,n England
shelf or crew-while in Cornwall
the underground manager is called a
captain, and the store-keeper pur-
ser. Is it not said that they attack
the coal, and is not the mine itself
the golfers field of battle? Is it not
there that in his struggles against all
dangers he may be said to combat
them foot to foot? The four elements
of the ancients-earth, air, fire and
water all conspire against him

wished the gentlemen to understand that
when the good time came, he expected to
do a little shouting himself With regard
to the Baptsts he hardly knew what to say,
though he would not be surprised if they
should come in andclaim .thelion's share
For his own part he thought this was an
overwhelming matter and that they We're

by offering up PRAYER that God would he

crown their labors with complete success.
Rev. Mr.. BROWN. n Presbyterian minis

Alliance people who knew him begged him
not to talk so much about intemperancc, for

A Want.-Notbing is more evident

A Want.-Nothing is more evident
than that one Of Frostburgs greatest wants
is a bank. This will be too. generally con
coded 20 require argumenG.if indeed, 1t re-
uurcs any to prove it necessity. Those,
particularly, whose business compels them
to the system of deposit and draft, etc, are
too well aware Of thcpcrsonal Inconvenience
and loss incurred N distant transactions
of this character TO be reminded of the daily
need of safe banking institution at home.
1t is no small matter when we consider these
may he s,pplanted by local advantages and
gains in equal measure. 1t is well known
that in all places where these institutions
exist chat the community realizes much
that, from its extent and complication, can
not be elaborated here, simply because, in
addition to that derived from exclusive
home business, great deal accrues from
foreign patronage and transactions. We
might instance tle sollity and prosperity
of the several banks in Cumberland. With
a great part of the immense business OF the
coal region passing through them, how can
the results be otherwise? But what does
the coal region derive from all this? Not
a particle more than if it did the same bust
ness in Baltimore
The increasing business of our town and
vicinity adds daily to the urgency of our
want of bank To say nothing of the nu-
merous other reasons why bank should be
established in Frostburg, business demands
it, and that as early as practicable. 1t is
probably too much to hope for National
Bank, but we can have aprivate onf-a
good stepping stone if the former ever be-
comes available, which may be at no distant
day if the "intiationists' complete the tri-
umph won in the House of Representatives
on Monday In any event, n0'o is the time
to take steps in the matter. The business
men and capitalists of Frostburg should
discuss it at once, and mature some plan OF
action.
The town has already lost much both in
money and character from the absence of an
institution so material to every pecuniary
and reputable interest. This can be retriev
ed by the establishment Ola bank, and by
its safe, wise and prudent management.

AN ENERGETIC HORSE THIEF
The readers of the CHIEF viii remein-
Der occasional reference in these col
umns to one Angel Lopez, an old
Spaniard who was confined in eur
parish Jail some twelve months upon
the charge of having appropriated to
himself the horsefesh of other par
ties. Some how or other, his case
could never be reached at the sessions
Of District Court, and being unable
to procure bondsmen he had lain in
prison until short time since, when
several gentlemen agreed to sign his
appearance bond of one hundred dol
lars and he was released. Instead of
being reformed by the long imprison-
meBt, he appears to have acquired a
greater fascination for his evil occupa-
ton, as rumor comes to us that he
has stolen no less than six horses and
one mule since regaining his freedom.
First he purloined the horse aud cart
of peddler near Plaquiemine, and
proceeding up the river to his old
stamping ground in East Baton Rouge
parish, he represented to acquaint-
ances there that during his protracted
absence he had been engaged in ped
ding in the vicinity of Bayou Goula.
He sold the turnout, and stole three
horses from one plantation and one
from another, all of which he disposed
of shortly after. His last theft was a
mule, the property of a colored man
who came leisurely riding along the
road in the same direction our cham
pion horse-thief was walking. After
protracted journeying in each Others
company, Lopez proposed to his COM
panion that they take " turn about"
riding and walking, so that neither
should become tired out. This was
agreed to, but scarcely had the willy
Spaniard mounted the mule than he
applied whip to the animal and
dashed of. He also disposed of the
mule for small sam, and now the
Sheriff and Constables of East Baton
Rouge are securing he country to find
