Elaborate and careful observations have recently
been made in London to test the relative values for
locomotive purposes of four kinds Of pavements,-
asphalt, granite blocks, and two preparations of
wood. The observations were made twelve hours u
day during fifty days, in localities where the traffic
was very large. and the point of inquiry was the
frequency Of accidents to horses the questions of
cost and durability being left for further lnyesti-
CATION IL appears that the average distance
travelled without accident on the Improved Wood
Pavement was 4i6 miles; on the Ligno Mineral Pave
ment. IS miles on asphalt, l9l miles; on granite
1872 miles land of the accidents that are most de-
structiye to horses namely, falls on the launches,
asphalt presented the largest proportion % per cent?
granite the next Is per cent? and wood the smallest
9 per cent. Asphalt is safer when dry than at any
other time aud more dangerous when damp than
when wet. Granite the other hand is very slip
perry when dry. Wood to be in all respects and
in all weathers safer and easier than the other pave
ments OF it's nferlority, however in durability and
economy New-Yorkers at any rate need no demon

The coal miners of considerable district
test by declaring a strike. At Wilkesbarre,
however, the miners put the case thus: They
are not on a strike, but ask that the Com
pany give them ten per cent advance on pres
ent wages when they resume work,
which has been temporarily suspended. This
demand is refused. Although the cessation
of work is not general, the dissatisfaction is,
and the organization of a Miners National
Association has given occasion for the pubica-
ton of somewhat fiery appeal from the
Wikesbarre men. President Gowen, it will be
observed, declares that this strike shall not be
the means of raising the price Of coal to the
consumer. His word ought 10 be weighty in
of work. if long continued, world seriously

There are premOnitory symptoms OF un-

many The clergy of France have been
endeavOring TO excite the minds OF their
parishioners in regard to the cesson OF Alsace
and Lorraine, and for these proceedings the
Government at Berlin holds the French
Government responsible. President Mac
Mabon's cabinet exerts the authority Of
tbs State against Republlcanism with
great severity. The German Government is,
therefore. not without excuse for regarding
the ienient course of the same cabinet toward
these demonstrations of the clergy ~ un'

Interesting information regarding the mineral
resources of Alabama is given in a recent report
made by Mr. G. B. Stebbns Of Detroit, who visited
birmingham and made journeys of 40 miles IN differ
ent directions from that point. He found many
places where iron ore. coal, and limestone are all
within few miles, and can he brought together at
less cost than anywhere else. Near Tannehill there
are, he says, powders of fine ore in such number
that 10000 tons could be had without the use OF pck
or spade. while there are millions OF tons below the
surface. The Black Warrior coal field. Mr. Stebbins
states is 5000 square miles in extent ana Is practl-
cay inexhaustible. Ii yields camel, SEMI bltumi-
nous, and softer coal each equal TO any OF the same
kind found elsewhere. and all easily accessible 1t
is a matter Of regret that the South IS consuming
foreign iron while she has such abundant supplies
of raw material at her command, and 1t seems
reasonable to expect that some of the capital
which the panic diverted from railroad enterprises
will be invested in Southern industries. Ibe con-
ditlons for profitable return are nowhere better.

soon ranged alongside and ruthlessly slaugh-

of one man named John Collins, who has been
