A singular prison romance has just
been disclosed in the Canadian peniten-
tiary at Kingston, where Elizabeth Jones
has for six years been confined for the
murder OF her cousin, sentence having
been pronounced on her own confession.
Her father was executed for the same
crime, notwithstanding the declaration
of the girl that she alone had committed
The deed, and that he was not guilty
indeed, knew nothing Of the murder.
She has now admitted-what has always
been generally believed by the public
but by herself strenuously denied-that
her father was the murderer, and that
she had accused herself Of his crime to
shield hisn, and at his desire. She tool
no part in the crime. and was not aware
OF its commission till her father told bel
he had done it and implored her to saw
him, task which she devotedly at
tempted and persisted in after it wal
hopeless.

con, miners, strikein Illinois.

ST.. LOUIS, November 1.-THE strike
of the coal miners in St. Clair county,
Illinois, opposite this city, continues.
At meeting held yesterday at Perch
Village it was resolved that work in all
the mines in Belleville district be sus-
pended until every company in it and
all non.union meR join the Miners
Union, and are governed by the same
laws. The strike is for a uniform price
four cents per bushel for digging, eight
hours labor and just weight. The
miners also insist that all non-union
men, or "blacklegs," as they are called,
shall join the Union. There is a good
deal of uaeasiness in Belleville, and
considerable apprehension is felt that
trouble. if not bloodshed, will follow.
To avoid this if possible militia com
pany has been formed and arms received
from the State. The miners assert that
they do not intend to resort to violence,
but are determined to hold out till their
demands are acceded to.

LUPERIUS-At San Miguel College. Santa
Fe. New Mexico, on Tuesday. Octobsr 18th
Brother Luperius, in the 18th year OF ms age
Requiescat in pace.
The many friends Of the Christian Brothers
will deeply regret the news of the death Of
Brother Luperius, at Santa Fe. New Mexico.
He was engaged in teaching the senior class
Of the Christian Brothers College. in this city.
until about year ago when he was taken Ill
with hemorrhase Of the lungs. He was trans
ferred to Santa Pc with the hope that the dry
atmosphere Of that region would favor his re-
covery. Brother Luperius was a very jealous
and successful teacher and was held in the
highest esteem by his pupils, as well as by all
who had an opportunity Of forming his ac-
quaintance. The Christian Brothers have
great reason to regret the loss of so efficient q
member as Brother Luperius proved himself
TO be. May his soul rest in peace.

waking Camels Useful in washoe.


From the Church Union.l
Upon a rancho IN Nevada, on the Car
son river, there is a herd Of twenty-six
camels, all but two of which we're bred
ana raised in Nevada. Some years ago
nine or ten camels we're imported into
that State, but of these only two lived 10
become acclimated, and from this pair
have been raised tweuty-four animals.
The men who have them are French
men, who had formerly some experience
with camels in Europe They find no
difficulty ia rearing them. and can now
show twentyfour fine, healthy animals,
all Of Washoe growth. The camel may
now be said to be thoroughly scclimated.
The owners of the herd find it no more
difficult to breed and rear them than
would be experienced with the same
number Of goats or donkeys. The rancho
upon which they are kept is sandy and
sterile in the extreme, yet the animals
feast and grow fat on such prickly shrubs
and bitter weeds as no other animal would
touch. When lett to themselves their
great delight, after filing themselves with
the coarse heritage Of the desert, is to lie
and roll in the hot sand. They are used
in carrying salt to the mills on the river
from the marshes lying in the desert
some sixty miles eastward. Some Of the
animals easily carry one thousand
pounds on their backs.
