OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
Mr.. Roy's Theory Questioned.

10 the Editor Of the Naming Journal:
SIR-H seems that the interest in the
naming controversy is deepening. In your
issue Of the 22d inst. there appears two
norG correspondents who. have taken up
the "cudgcls" in behalf of MI Roy.
"Pompcy" calls for figures. SINCE he is
one of the wise men-and not a "driyelling
idiot"-why doesn't he give us figures of
his own, and show that it is more profitable
for the operators, and at least as safe for tie
miners, to take out the benches, than to
leave them untouched? Can he show that
as MUCH of the pillars can be taken out
where the benches are removed as whclc e
they are left ine He says he has seen pill
lars lot on account OF bad ventilation. II
such is true land Whn can doubt it SINCE
"Pompry" says SO? far, / suppose, he is
truthful Ms well ms Wise) it says but little
for the ability and intelligence of the super
intendents of such mines.
Your correspondent, "a Mine r'pfrn-
tcndent," gays that the big vein covers
1880 acres, and should yield 1000 tons
Der acre. Now, should like to Ike inform
ed by a Mine Superintendent what meth
ed of mining, etc. he would adopt in order
Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1875-06-05

to get out 1900 tons per acre? Yes, and
it will do to tell "a mine superintendent"
as well rs the "marines' that there 1, not
three feet of good bottom coal Granting
for Arguments sake that the bottom coal is
three feet thick in all. the upper six inches
of This bottom bench contain two states
each about one inch thick. said six inches
of slate and coal have to be thrown aside,
leaving bench of bottom coal two-and-a-
half feet IN thickness, without taking into
consideration that there are other states and
even sulphur stones in this bottom coal.
He further states that Mr. Hodge, Mr..
McFarlanc and Mr. Roy have no interest
in disappearing the facts" 1t may be
true; will not dispute it; but deny that
either Of these. men are intalliblc, or that
they cannot be mistaken. According to
what have seen in the mines around Lo-
naconing | am led to believe that Prof
Hodges figures are wrong. | have no hes
itation in asserting that more than 3, 722
tons per acre can be taken out rith0m erer
touching Il pillar. In conclusion l wish to
say that if "Pompcy," Or "A mine Superin-
tendcnt," wish to furnish the information re-
qucsted, to bear in mind that the bare as
sertion of even Il Superintendent is worth
nothing unless supported by proof.
Yours respectfully,
ToM Brown.

Another View of Early Closing.

The appeals made to merchants through
the JOURNAL to close their places of bust
ness at a reasonable hour, seems to have
met with general favor; not, perhaps from
all directly interested, but even of the Sc we
think a majority are inclined to allow them
selves and their clerks little respite from
the monotonous round three hundred and
thirteen times repeated, from six in the
morn until eleven at night, fourth of July,
Thanksgiving and Christmas days excepted,
when another year begins the same un-
broken routine.
Mechanics are called to work at given
hour and warned to leave as promptly.
Office work is generally from nine to three
In our navy yards and arsenals eight hours
is the rule, and many of the states have
fixed the same time. Bank hours are from
nine to three.
Now, Mr.. Editor, much has been said
and written in the interest Of labor as it is
related to capital, and rice cersa, and much
more remains to be said and written. The
ClctTcSt VI tIilS tLSSC oub-
jects worthy of their profoundest thought,
and with fairness that illumincs some
what the gloom in which they are shroud-
ed, and sheds lustre around their names
and themes alike, which men will see and
acknowledge when they are elevated to the
altitude where they shine. Much remains
to be done, because there are no subjects
occupying the minds of men so antagonistic
with each other. Labor On the one side,
indispensable in itself; without it the world
is at a stand still. Capital on the other, i'll
dispensable in the employment of labor. A
fair and just compensation for labor is only
a side view of this great problem, but none
the less complete so far as it goes. That
an equivalent be given for the commodity
rendered is equity, and equity, like truth,
cannot be added to or taken from, Equity
is equity, as truth is truth, both as absolute
as He whose attributes they are. As ap-

HEAVY FAILURES IN TIE IRON
TRADE,-A London dispatch Tuesday
last says the Aberdare Iron Company
has failed, with liabilities to the
amount of $3.50, 900; their nominal
assets are estimated at e9SO,OOO.
This sum is a total valuation of their
works, together with those of the Ply
mouth Iron Company, which is one
concern with the Aberdare Company,
This failure involves Sanderson & Co ,
bill brokers, and Gilead A. Smith.
Their liabilities are placed at 100000,
for the greater part of which their
creditors hold securities James Daw-
barn is also involved. The latters Ii
abilities are estimated at 934 900, and
assets at eos, 00O
The Times comments on the failure
of the iron companies and Sanderson
& Co. as follows: 1--WE regret very
much to record a double failure which
will probably produce results similar
to those which followed the collapse
of Overend Quincy & Co. 1t is said
that the Sandersons are involved with
the iron companies to the amount of
100000, and that the aggregate liza
bilities will amount to several millions
sterling"
The IRON TRADE.-There is but
little change to note in the condition of
affairs in the American Pig Iron mar
ket. There are no large transactions
taking place, most all the sales being
confined to small lots, purchasers not
wishing to buy more than they need
for immediate use; consequently,
stocks are steadily accommodating.
Trade in Rails is generally very dull,
although some small transactions have
been made in New Rails. The mar
ket for Scrap also lacks animation.
Business in Manufactured Iron begins
to improve.-Coal and Iron Record
BUSINESS IN New YoRK.-The
New York Tribune says a revival of
trade in that city is manifest. With
the warmth of spring it declares,
there has come rapid development
of retail business, and leading houses
find their sales much exceeding those
Of May of last year. In fact the gem
eral testimony is that the spring trade
has put a quietus on the cry of hard

brains have been perforated by pistol or
rifle balls.
three years and is bother by profess
sion. In 1861 Mr.. Robinson enlisted in
Company X Captain Timothy Moore,
of Camden), 9th Regiment, New Jersey
Volunteers, which regiment was at
tached to Hooker's division of the Third
Army corps. He participated in every
battle fought by the Army of the Po-
tomac. except Antietam and BurnsIde's
mud campaign against Fredericksburg,
and was in over thirty general engage
ments, besides number OF minor ones,
and was three times badly wounded.
Robinson received his first wound at the
battle of williamsburg, being severely
Wounded, and it was supposed for long
time fatally wounded in the thigh. His
second wound was received in the battle
known known as the second Bull Run. Tue
third wound-in the muscles Of the left
arm-was received during General
Grants succession of battles before
Petersburg.
The second wound was received on
August 20, 1882. The 9Th Regiment, to
which Robinson was attached, was sup
porting the 9th Regiment, New Jersey
Volunteers, which had deployed as
skirmishers and was charging on the
enemy. OF the shooting Robinson
recoliects that sharp point darted
through his ear and into his head,
and then he remembered nothing more.
He was left for dead, and remained on
the battle field at least an hour, but was
finally removed and taken to the divis-
ion hospital, suffering untold agony from
musket bali wound. The ball, either a
mimic or o musket ball, entered the left
ear, cutting off the pendulous lobe and
taking an upward course through the
brain and lodged near the upper part OF
the occipital bone The wound bled pro.
tusely, and semi-consciousness returned
to him. DR. Wiley, now of Cape May,
who was the division hospital surgeon
at the time, probed for the ball, but was
unable to reach it. Robinson conva-
lesced rapidly, and in a short time was
able to bear transportation to the United
States general hospital, at Chester, Pa,
where the wound was again probed Dat
| in vain for the ball. In three mouths
| time Robinson was again returned TO his
regiment and performed faithful service
with it, for which he was promoted to a
sergeantcy, and remained with it to the
close of the war. In conversation with
our representative, Robinson informed
| him that he was unable to work in the
sun, and when he attempts to his head
becomes almost Immediately muddled
and spins round like a top, while sharp
pains dart from his left eye to the seat OF
the bullet. "But how do you know the
bullet is in your braini" remarked the
interviewer. "Because feel it," was
the reply. Although shot directly
through the ear his hearing is unim
paired and is as accute and sensitive tc
sound as any ones ear. His intellect
and memory are good and but rarely is

The Cuopee of Serk, one of the channel
islands, is natural causeway between
two otherwise detached parts of the lit
tie island. The average level of the ISL
and Is 800 feet above the sea, and the
Cuopee is only five feet wide at the top,
200 yards long, and as high above the
tumultuous waters of the English chan
mel as the land which it unites. 1t is
used as roadway, and low walls have
been built along the edges, the precipice
on either side being nearly perpendicu-
lar. A romantic murder has just oc:
Cured at this place. The population Of
the island is mixed French and Eng
lish. Pierre Gorand, a young French
farmer fell deeply in love with Ann
Morrow, an English girl employed by his
father. She had another, though hum
BILE lover, whom she preferred and whom
she often crossed the Cuopee on moon
light nights to meet. Pierre, in his jeal-
GUS anger, vowed that she should never
meet his rival again. One night she
started for the trysting place, and Pierre
followed stealthily. At q point half way
across the dizzy height Of the rock
bridge he seized her, and, when she
would not promise a kindlier reception
of his love, threw her off into the waters
that were rolling and tumbling far be
low. His threat bad been repeated by
Ann, and he was arrested upon her be-
ing missed. He has since confessed.
