The Pittsburg Commercial states that one
result of the miners strike has been to cause
the utilization of the enormous piles of waste,
every bit of which in all the mining districts
will probably be disposed of. 1t is found to
be almost as good for generating steam as
coarse coal, costing but fraction Of what the
latter costs, and requiring but slight modif-
cations of the fire chambers. It is being ship
ped from the mines in large quantities.
The improving condition Of Mr.. Carruth,
the Vineland Editor who was shot by Mr..
Lands, bids fair to sustain the theory of his
homeopathic physicians, and is a remarkable
case of their treatment Of gunshot wounds.
They did not probe the wound, but left the
bullet where it lodged, simply addressing their
efforts to allay inflammation and heal the
wound It seemed hazardous experiment,
but If it succeeds as the prospects now indi-
cate that it will, it will be celebrated case of
surgical treatment.
Col. Tom Scott has notified the Postmaster
General that on and after the LIST day of June
next no trains of the Baltimore and Ohio
road will be permitted to pass over his rails
from Philadelphia to New York. The mail
service to and from New York is now equally
divided between the two corporations, the
Baltimore and Ohio carrying the morning
mails from both termini, and the Pennsylva-
mia line the evening mails. Mr.. Carrot has
heretofore been running his cars over Colonel
Scott's road, from the city of Philadelphia to
New York, thus enabling him to carry the
through mails. The Postmaster General has
the matter under consideration, and will de-
eide in a few days.
Bishop McQuade made labored speech
against our public school system at a recent
gathering of Catholics in Cincinnati. Like
Bishop Corrigan he appears to have been
surcharged with the venom of religious intol-
erance, for these are the Incorporate words
in which be began his address !: z The gates
of bigotry are flung wide open, and the
country is overrun with its creatures, yelling
themselves hoarse with frantic cries born Of
ignorance, when not the more likely product
of malevolence and self-interest.h These
will be good deal of yelling SO long as these
scheming Papists keep up their assaults upon
our most cherished institutions.
A MANS Surf FOR BREACH OF PROMISE.
The Portland (Me.) Press tells the story of
young lady of that city who became acquaint-
ed with Boston drummer on the cars, al
lowed him to visit her, and finally consented
to be his wife. She afterward repented of her
hasty promise and wrote him to release her,
but he wouldn't. She received letter from
a Boston lawyer, Tuesday, stating that her
was-to-be husband had retained him as coun-
sell and that unless the marriage took place
at the time set suit will be commenced
against her for breach of promise. As the
young lady is worth handsome property the
result is anxiously looked for.
The N. Y. Times says: "Mr. Robert
Bonner, proprietor of the New York Ledger,
has given the large sum of 500, 000-which
most of us would look upon as a handsome
acknowledgements Dr. Halls new church. We
should not have referred to this private incl
dent but for the hope that examples of this
kind may lead others to stand by their
churches, and assist them to the utmost ex-
tent of their means.

wings.
A gentleman in Europe writes j: 81 see in

Gratz Brown, his defeated antagonist in 1879;
and ia Kentucky he paid friendly visit to

TURNING ScouRaE TO UsE.-professor
Taylor, Of the agricultural bureau, advises
the Western farmers to get rid of the grass
hoppers by eating them. They are largely con-
sumed in the East, and the Indians Of our
plains find them excellent eating. General
Sherman has tried them, and says they are by
no means to be despised. There is a
Scriptural precedent for putting the pests to
this use. John the Baptist lived on them,
with the addition Of little honey.
Jesse d. Bright, formerly Democratic
Senator from Indiana, died in Baltimore the
other day. He was for long time President
of the Senate. In 1867 he was fraudulently
reelected, but was kept in his seat by his par
ty friends, who then controlled the Senate
When the Rebellion began Bright took sides
with the enemies of the Union, but did not
desert his seat. He was expelled from the
Senate by vote of more than two-thirds of
its members. After that he went to Kentucky,
where he lived in obscurity.
