THE SITUATION

We have but little. if any change in sf-
fairs. since our last JOURNAL was issued.
Fully one-third Of the molders N the
United States and Canadas are idle, with
the prospects Of their numbers increasing
before the fall trade commences. IN this
connection one fact is very motto able
that We are, more than any other jrade or
calling. free from disputes with our EN-
ployers. We have not the slightest idea
that the millennium has come III our trade,
but employers appreciate the fact that the
lion is not dead, only sleeping, and a kick
would wake him up very suddenly, and
the result might not be as satisfactory to
them as is the present quietness.
The chances are favorable for an early
resumption in coal-mining, the miners be-
inQ starped into submission. after five
months Of a heroic struggle The re
newed supply of coal may give some
new life to ether tagging industries for a
time, but if the miners defeat was final
the future would be dark indeed for all
lab0F.
The list of tramping molders has been
largely increased by the closing Of the
agricultural shops for the season, but we
fail to find, after a careful examination Of
the reports, that there has been an in
crease Of molders employed under any Of
our Unions so that it is apparent that
for each tramp who gets work, another is
forced on the road.
Brother Satin, ere this has no doubt
learned that there is no reliance to be
placed in the kilograms published by the
monopolists' press. The latest reports
which are mp TO 18th shows that the miners
are not yet starved into submission, "
but that they are holding out as resolutely
as ever, and are determined to stand
out forever, or effect an honorable COM
promise.

WEATHER REPORTS.

QUINCY, ILL, Nov. 30th.-The cold
weather of the past few days has vir-
tually closed the navigation of the
Mississippi river at and above Quincy.
Several steamers have gone into win
ter quarters here, and others are fight
ing their way to st. Louis over ice
and sand-bars. The river is within q
few inches of the low water mark,
which makes navigation the more
difficult, and boats are reported fast
on the bars below here.
CHICAGO, Dec. lst.-The lake was
frozen as far as the eye could reach
last night. 1t still remains closed,
save in the track of vessels. Acct
dents to vessels are reported from ev-
cry direction, with some loss of life.
The gales and freezing weather have
proved very disastrous. The Pamlico,
recently returned from Europe, is full
of water at Little Traverse. The
schooners Sweet Heart, Mary T.. Po-
COW, Francis Pocow, and Grenada are
ashore at Sheboygau. The Pocow is
probably a total loss. The crew of the
Pocow had nearly perished until res
cued by the citizens. Her deck was
under water, and the ice was thirty
feet above the deck.

OUR farmers should realize the I'M
mediate necessity of planting out trees
and shrubbery. Every tree planted is
an enhancement of TIN value of the
estate, and our farmers do not gener-
ally realize that until they wish to sell
and then the wise man who has plant
ed out the ornamental or useful trees
and shrubs has the preference of the
buyer. Look at our city residences!
The stranger in our midst locks in
breathless admiration at the elegant
gardens of Governor DowNEY, Col.
HOWARD, Mr.. o. w. CHILDs and 9TH
ers. All these havea great value in
the eyes ofa buyer and our farmers
should at once commence the work of
beautifying their farms and ranches.
Such an investment pays an immense
interest, and delay in the work is
money out of pocket.

Marbleized Mantels.

We were shown yesterday a fine
assortment of marbleized iron mantels
at the office of Perry, Woodworth &
Co. The introduction of these mantels
into Los Angeles has been compar-
lively recent but they are already be-
coming very popular. In their use a
saving OF fifty per cent. or more is
made over the marble and n more du-
rable and finer finished article secured.
They are made in imitation of por-
phyry, Egyptian and other varie-
ties of dark marbles and the resemb-
lance is so close that one can hardly
distinguish between them the genuine
and the imitation. The coloring mat
ter is applied to the iron while it is at
a red heat and by this process the
brightest polish and durability is se-
cured. The mantels will neither crack
tarnish nor become defaced even with
the hardest usage. Prices range from
$29 to $6S with CRATE, Summer front,
basket and all appliances complete.
Messrs. Perry, Woodworth & Co. are
sole agents for the city and county.
