Contents Of Girls Side-Pockef.

For several days an article of lady
wearing apparel, known, the reporter
believes, but isn't quite sure, as a
''side-pocket," has been hanging in the
Mayors Office awaiting an owner. 1t
was picked up on the street, and evil
IDENTIFY belongs to a school Miss. 1t
contains a wonderful assortment Of
articles, to be equaled only by the con-
tents of the pocket of boy who is Just
beginning to sport pair of pantaloons.
AID examination of it resulted in the
following discoveries The first thing
unearthed was slip of paper on which
was written the following:
Amillstone and the human heart
Are driven ever around.
If they have nothing else to grind,
They must themselves be ground
Now that's pretty good. but here is
an effusion of a somewhat different
literary style, but quite common nova
days:
tempest, so you are. Answer. You are a'great girl
you are PEGGI DoEsTICEs.
The next thing fshed out was piece
of white paper, torn from the margin
of a newspaper, and on which was
written, 81 have not got demerit. l
got them all taken off," This is school
girl all over, and is also quite sugges-
tive. The note leaves the inference
that the writer had received demerit
marks, but ''soft-soaped" her teacher
and got them cancelled. Well, there is
nothing like knowing how to get along.
Following this was another piece of
paper containing the address of Bertha
Spates," Clarksburg, Harrison County,
w. Va, and this was accompanied by
a pass not yet used on the West Penn
Railroad from Allegheny City to Butler,
bearing the name of Thomas Miller.
Delving deeper "Burnett's Floral
Handbook" giving evidence of much
use, was brought forth also paper of
pins, a hair pin, lot of twine string,
and, alas, must it be said, package OF
''meen fun" 1t may be something
else-perhaps sample of White River
flour, lily white, Spanish whiting, or
plaster of Paris. At any rate it was
white. The last article developed by
the investigation occasioned much Sc
rious consideration before a conclusion
was reached as to what 1t could be. 1t
was muslin string, tied with knot,
and when laid on the desk naturally
formed circle, as though that was its
normal condition, and as if to indicate
that its proper use had been to encircie
something round. After considerable
time spent in cogitating the writer
finally arrived at the unalded decision
that 1T belonged to the same class as
the article of women's wearing apparel
once unfortunately dropped by the
Duchess of Shrewsbury, probably be-
cause it hadn't been tied tight enough,
and which Sir Sidney Smith picked up
and with the now historical expression
HOHi soft Qtti NAL y pense, but as rem
dered by later writer 'hOney swOt
kee Molly Pouse." We have been thus
elaborate in the description of the con-
tents of this ''side-pocket" because the
owner may wish to recover it, and this
article may aid her in recognizing it.
If she will call at the Mayors office it
will be returned to her, garter and all.

The CHILDREN OF THE ARABs.-The
mothers and fathers IN Arabia make a
great difference between their sons and
daughters. They think it a dreadful
thing for little girl to presume to
come into the world, and often hurry
her out of it without much ceremony.
Some years ago it was common through
out the country to offer up female
children as a sacrifice but in later
years il is done as matter of economy
and the poor little creatures are some
times buried alive and sometimes
thrown into the sea. When a little
girl is born the mother cries as if her
heart would break, and all her neigh
bors call to sympathize with her mis-
fortune. They have many proverbs
about the calamity. 1.-The threshold
weeps forty days when a girl is born :"
''To send women before to the other
world is benefit"
When boy is born there are great
rejoicings; friends and neighbors call
to bring presents, and offer congratula-
ton and dainty preparation of rice,
sugar, and spices, called ''mughly," is
made, and sent around to all the rela-
tives as an expression of goodwill and
happiness.

POLITE CHILDREN. - THANK you,
Charlie, said Mrs. Brown. as her little
son handed her paper he was requested
to bring.
THAT you, Bridget" said the little
fellow few hours after, as he received
a glass of water from his nurse.
"Well, Mrs. Brown, you have the
best hammered children 1 ever saw,
said neighbOr. 81 should be thankful
if mine were as polite to me as yours
are to the servants. You never spend
half so much time on your children's
clothes as / do, and yet every one
notices them, they are so W ,ll-behaved. "
I'VE always try to trea, our children
politely" was the quiet reply.
This was the whole secret. When l
hear parents grumbling about the ILL
manners of their children, I always
wish TO ask, ''Have you always treated
them with politeness ?'
Many parents who are polite and
polished in their manners toward the
world at large are perfect Doors inside
the home-circle. If a stranger offers
the slightest service, he is gratefully
thanked but whoever remembers to
thus reward the little tireless feet that
are travelling all day long upstairs and
down on countless errands for some
body? 1t would be policy for parents
to treat their children politely for the
sake of obtaining more cheerful obedi-
enee, if for no other reason. The cost
less use of an '1f you please" and 81
thank you" now and then, will go far
to tighten an otherwise burdensome
task. Say to your son, "John, shut
that door, and with a scowl, he will
move slowly towards it, and shut it with
a bang. The next time say, "John will
you shut the door, please ?" and he
will hasten with pleasant smile to do
your bidding.

YOUTHS COLUNN.

ABRAHAMs s FATTH.-Once Alice asked
what the word 'sfaith" meant.
''To believe in any one and trust
him." answered cousin Helen. "Shall
l tell you a story that will teach you to
understand the word ?"
"Oh yes, said Alice.
81 told you about Abraham, and how
God gave him a son. He loved this
son, Isaac, very much, more than he
loved anything else excepting God.
Now one day God told him to take this
boy and sacrifice him. In those days
they worshipped God by laying an ami
nal upon a pile of stones called an
altar, and killing it. and burning its
body. That was what Abraham was
asked to do with Isaac"
80 cousin Helen, would that be right
to kill his own son %
''It seemed very strange thing to
Abraham, but he trusted in God, had
faith in Him, and he knew that what
ever God told him to do would be
right. So he took Isaac and went a
great way from home until they came
to high hill. Isaac knew that they
were going to sacrifice to God, and he
was carrying the wood and fire. But
he did not know that he was to be the
one sacrificed. After they had built an
altar, Abraham took his son and tied
him with a rope and laid him on the
stones"
''Did Isaac let him %
"Yes, Johnny, because he had faith
in his father. just as his father had
faith in God. And now the time had
come to kill the sacrifice. 1t was
hard thing to do. Abraham knew that
when Isaac was dead he would be child
less, and he did not see how God could
keep His promise to make Abraham's
children great people. Still he knew
that God was always right. So he took
up the knife and turned to the altar
where his son lay. And Just then God
called to him saying:
''Do not touch the boy. You have
shown how much you love and trust
me, because you did not keep even your
son from me-"
Abraham looked up, and there, in
the bushes, ram was caught by its
hOrns.-He took that and sacrificed il,
and then be and Isaac went home. How
happy he was 60 know that he had his
boy with him. and best of all, that he
had faith in God -
God loved Abraham, didn't he %
"Alice, God loves all of us so much
that He sent His own dear Son, Jesus,
to die for us. Near the very hill that
Abraham went to, Jesus was nailed to
the cross, and died, so that we may be
saved if We only have faith in Him."

ITELEGRAPHIC SUMMARY
FOREIGN.

a Maracaibo letter of May Goth, giving
an account of the earthquake causing the
destruction of San Jose De Cucata, says on
the 10Th and 18th, there had been earth
quake Shocks but on the morning of the
18th everything was serene. At half past
IL o'clock, the earth commenced shaking
with great force, and from all sides the
people rushed to the streets. For 10 Sec
onds the movement continued, the city
moving like great ship without ballast.
Instantaneously cloud of fine dust ems
shrouded the streets and houses, impeding
the vision and calling forth cries Of hor-
ror. These were of short duration, how
ever, as the dust soon became so thick as to
impede respiration. Many who might have
been saved from the ruins Of the falling
buildings fell victims TO suffocation
Not longer than two minutes this terrible
affair continued when wind rapidly car
rice away the dust clouds.
The so fearful day WIS followed by still
more terrible night. The survivors had
moved 10 the suburbs Of the city, where en-
campments were established. Rain COM
menced to fall in torrents, and amid i'm
penetrable darkness the groans of the
wounded filled the air, varied only by the
sharp detonations proceeding from the ex-
plosiye material amid the ruins.
The coming of the new day showed that
not more than 1000 remained alive, and
that beneath the fallen houses lay from
5000 to 10000 dead.
A letter also reports the destruction at
other places, as mentioned in an account OF
the earthquake by way of Panama some
two weeks ago.
PARIS, June 25.- The damage done by
the inundation in the valleys of Garonne
and Adour is immense. All the bridges at
Toulouse are destroyed. The Assembly
voted 10000 francs for the relief of the sui.
ferers.
The devastation caused by the inundation
is wide spread, At Toulouse nearly all the
houses in the st. Cyprian quarter have
been destroyed.
At St. gerdun, in the Department o.
Ariege over 80 houses have fallen and
many persons drowned.
From Montanbau the report comes that
all the crops on the banks of the Tarr
and Garonne are ruined. The Garonne in
some places is 4 miles wide.
A bridge of seven arches, at Tarbes, has
beed carried away.
lnundations are general through the De-
partments Of Aude, Herault, Garonne and
Tarn. If the rain continues another day
all the wheat crops in these departments
will be destroyed. Railways are inter.
rupted in all directions throughout the in
undated district.
PARIS, June 25.-The damage to prop.
erty and loss of life by flood on the GaronnC
is greater than previous reports have indi.
Gated. At Toulouse alone the bodies OF
one hundred persons, who were drowned
were found in houses which were flooded
but left standing. Many other persons
persisted and their bodies were swept away
in the houses.
BERLIN, June 2S.-The Crown Prince
Frederick William, will assist ct the man,
oeures of the German iron clad feet, which
begin on Wednesday next and continue un,
I'll Monday. The American squadron will
witness the display.

Exciting News From the Black Hills.

CHICAGO, June 28.-The special cores
pondent of the Inter- Ocean with the sci
entifc expedition now in the Black Hills, at
Camp Horner, on French Greek, Clusters
Gulcb, sends the following telegram via
Fort Laramie dated June l6:
"Gold in large quantities and of good

miles along this stream toward its source
or gulch mines. There are scattered along
French Greek four different mining parties,
numbering twenty-five men, who have
taken up claims, on all of which good color
has been obtained. There are also several
quartz lodes which promise rich returns,
but the greatest importance is attached to
gulch gold diggings. When the gold was
discovered the scientists were at Camp Tut
tie, and only arrived here yesterday after

men and army officers express the opinion
that there will be great trouble with the
Sioux, Cheyannes and Arapshoes this
summer and fall. AT least five large war
parties have left the Reservations during
the last two weeks. The cavalry in this
department are unable to keep them on the
Reservation through their limited numbers
1t will be impossible for the soldiers to

THE CUMBERLAND TABLE LANDS.
Interesting sketch of the Climate. Soil,
Land Titles, &c.

Interesting sketch of the Climate, Soil,
Land TITLES, &c.
WARTBURG, TENN, June %, 1875.
To the Editors of the Chronicle:
Few people who have never been in
the " Cumberland Mountains have
a definite or correct idea of the phys
iral appearance or qualities of the re-
gion designated by that general term.
1t is applied in ageneral sense to belt
ofcountry extending diagonally across
the State, from Cumberland Gap to
Alabama. It has a width, along the
KENTUCKY aud Tennessee line, of about
seventy Or eighty miles; at the south
ern boundry of the State, it is not 80
wide; say fifty miles. 1t covers an
area of some five thousand square
miles, and includes the counties of
Morgan, Scott, and Cumberland; to-
gether with large portions of Camp
bell, Fentress, Van Buren,, Bledsoe,
Grundy, Marion, Anderson, Overton,
Putnam and White.
This table land ia a distinct and
marked feature in the physical geog-
raphy of Tennessee. On the eastern
sides, its outlines are badly marked by
Walden's Ridge, which runs from
Lookout Mountain, near Chattanooga,
to CareyYille, in Campbell county.
This ridge stands like mighty bull
waTk, between the highlands and the
lowlands, and is onlylpassable at the
different gaps or points where the
streams have cut through on their
passage to the sea.
Passing this bulwark, the traveller
will generally find the country rough
and uneven for a few miles, and al
though it all partakes of the same gem
eral elevation of from nine TO twelve
hundred feet above the lowlands, still
one travels five, ten, fifteen, or even
twenty miles westward before he finds
the realization of his book idea of a
table land.

in the lower edge of Anderson county,

LONG STRIKE REPORTED BROKEN
work aesumed at Several Galleries.

WILKEsgARRE, June Is. = The
miners who have been working at
Paine's shaft were met by large gang
this morning aud ordered to stay out.
4 posse was raised, and they opened a
way through the mob, and those W<ho
wished entered the shaft. There was
great excitement.
The long strike is ended. The
miners of Lehigh, Wilkesbarre coun-
ty, made an unconditional surrender
through their delegates last night, at q
meeting with Mr.. Parrish. A dozen
or more meetings were held yesterday
at different places. At Ashley a dele
gatiOnS OF seventy German miners
went to meeting for the purpose of
voting for resumption. Their object
became known TO the leaders, and
they were excluded from the meeting.
They then held a meeting of their
own, and decided to be governed no
longer by the Association.
At another meeting the Irish and
Welsh disagreed, and the former with
drew.
At other meetings. there was lack of
harmony, and during the course of the
udJ was
as to future actions. The mass of the
miners are in favor of going to work,
but the leaders fought hard against it.
The sentiment was too strong for them
longer to control, and part yielded. In
the evening a region meeting was held,
and delegates then went to Mr.. Par
ish's office, where a long and harmO-
NOUS conference took place, which
ended in an agreement TO go to work
upon the Company's terms. No con-
cessions whatever were made by the
Company. There will be a general re-
sumption in the adjoining region.
CLEARFIELD, PA, June l5.-The
thirty-two striking miners, who were
