The Coal Trade.

Vhe COai trade.
The strike of the miners and labor
ers in the greater part of the anthracite
coal regions in this State continues
much the same as last week and for
several previous weeks, The strikers
profess a determination TO hold out and
the operators seem equally determined
not to give in. just at present the
situation is unchanged and good deal
befogged as to the future. The Read
Ing Railroad Company, on the 10th
instant, and the New York Lehigh Coal
Exchange, on the goth, gave notice
that, inasmuch as there is no prospect
of the miners and laborers in the
Schuylkill and Lehigh coal regions re-
suming work In tine to produce coal
during the month of May, no price cir
cular for that month will be issued.
The anthracite coal carried to market
last week was over fifty thousand tons
greater than the previous week and
but about one hundred and sixty.seven
thousand tons short of that of cores
pondlng week last year. There is,
therefore, no apprehension of coal
famine. The present production is
considered quite equal to the consump-
tlon, and the carrying companies in
what Is known as the Coordination"
are sparlng no effort to prevent an I'D
vance In coal prices to consumers. Soft
coal from the western part Of our State,
as well as Cumberland coal, is coming
forward freely, and does much in abad-
ing the inconvenience of the lessened
supply OF anthracite. The dead loc k
in the Schuylkill and Lehigh regions is
shorn OF much of his terrors, so far as
the public is concerned, by the assur-
anoe that there will, for the remainder
of the season, be an ample supply of
coal, whether work In those regions is
resumed a month OF two earlier or later,
and coal will be no higher than the
schedule prices as Fixed BY the "Combl-
nation. ."-Phila. Ledger, April 26.
The following table shows the guam
ity of coal shipped over the Lehigh
Valley Railroad for the week ending
April "a, 1875, and for the year as
compared with the same time last year;

Rights OF Inmates of Insane Asylums.

The postal rights of inmates Of insane
asylums is a subject which long since re-
ceived the careful attention of European
governments, and which they have estab
lished in the most appropriate and adequate
manner. This example has been followed
to some exent in this country in the States
of Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts,, Connect
cut and New Hampshire. Postal commun-
ications between the inmates of insane
asylums and an outside independent board
were established in Iowa in April, 1872,
and in the other States mentioned at later
date. The need of legislation in this direc-
ton cannot be denied in view of the fact
too frequently demonstrated that these
humanitarian institutions are sometimes
perverted from their avowed uses and some
times made horrible prisons where the same
victims of cupidity and malice are hidden.
BY reports of abuses and outrages in these
institutions, those entirely worthy of pub
lie confidence are frequently made victims,
ON account of want of means of establish
ing the validity of these reports. The test
of the law in the above mentioned States
has demonstrated its utility and justice.
A memorial has been presented to the
Committee on Post offices in support of
such bill and has just been published.
This memorial has been written and pre-
sented by Mrs. E. P. w. Packard, of Chi
cago, a native of Massac husetts, the daugh-
ter of Congregational clergyman and the
wife of another. She was imprisoned, she
alleges, for three years by her husband,
VINO was preaching in Illinois. She had
been educated strict Calvinist, but led, as
she says, by her own reason and common
sense, she came to disbelieve the doctrine
of total depravity The utterance of these
views, tolerated at first by her husband,
caused them to become very popular, so
much so that her husband and his church,
she asserts, fearing lest their church creed
might suffer serious detrimeDt, resolved to
put stop to her moral influence. She re-
counts in the most vivid manner the story
of her kidnapping and incarceration in the
Jacksonville Insane Asylum, by her nus
band, the efforts of her friends to prevent
her Imprisonment and secure her release,
the treatment she received while in the
asylum, and the manner Of her escape.
Taken from her family OF her six children,
declared legal nonenity, she remained in
the asylum for three years, subject to the
greatest ill-treatment, and having no COM
munication with the outside world. The
Superintendent, for selfish reasons, finally
allowed her to explain her religious views
to the trustees, who, although Calvinsts,
readily discovered that it was the use of
her reason, and not the loss of it, which
occasioned her imprisonment, and they
accordingly ordered her discharged. Her
husband then endeavored, with the and of
the Superintendent, to secure her imprison-
ment in the Northampton Asylum in Mas
sachusetts. She succeeded, however, in
sending letter to a judge in the town in
which she lived, and her husband was Or

dered to bring her before him to show JUS
tfiable cause for imprisoning her. Thishe
failed to do for want of evidence. She con-
tinues that after trial of five days, the
jury pronounced her sane, Notwithstanding
that her husbands witnesses swore that it
was evidence of insanity for person to
wish to leave the Presbyterian Church and
join the Methodist; and Notwithstanding
the sworn testimony of his certifying ply
sicians that she had the same kind of insan-
ity as Henry Ward Beecher and Spurgeon,
and three fourths of the religious COM
munity. Her husband ran away in the
night, leaving her homeless and penniless
and without her children. She now wishe5
such laws enacted as will render an outrage
of this nature upon any other American
woman legal impossbility. She believes
that there are now hundreds Of women
needing the help that she needed, and for
them she now appeals to the Government.

Hark. methinks hear cry;
Does the foe our arms defy?
We, their threats, unmov'd shall hear;
Thy sons, Columbia cannot fear.
Let no anxious mother mourn,
Doubtful of her sons return;
Fortune, all around the brave,
Shall a shield impervious weave.
See Columbia's Hero rise,
Washington, the good and wise;
Arm! to arms! our country CALLS
Sound through Vernon's ample halls.
Great in war, and great in peace,
Thy laurefd henors shall increase;
With superior, just renown,

And the muses. round thee sing,
While greatful nations love
All thy labors shall approve.

Lady Byron's Reply to Her Husband.

/ Yes fare thee well, farewell forever,
Thou thyself hast fixed our doom;
/ Babe hopes fairest blossoms wither,
| Never more for me to bloom.
| Unforgiving thou hast called me,
Didst thou ever say forgive?
For the wretch whose wiles enthralled the
! Thou didSt seem alone to live.
Short the span which time hath given,
To complete thy loves decay;
! By unhallowed passion driven,
/ Soon thy heart was taught to stray.
Lived for me that feeling tender,
| Which so well thy verse can show;
From my arms why didst thou wander
| My endearments why forego?
| Wrapt in dreams of Joy abiding,
On thy breast my head hath lain;
In thy love and truth confiding,
Bliss | cannot know again.
But by Heavens recording spirit,
May the wish forgotten be;
Life tho now load I'll bear it,
For the babe I've borne to thee.
In whose lovely features, let me-
All my weakness here confess
Whilst the struggling tears permit me-
All her father | can trace.
His, whose image never leaves me.
Whose remembrance yet prize
Who this bitterest feeling gives me,
Still to love where deSpise.
With regret, or sorrow rather,
When our child's first accents flow;
/ will teach her to say Father,'
But his guilt she ne'er shall know.
Whilst tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Wake to me a widowed bed
In another'S arms no sorrow
Wilt thou feel-no tears will shed.
For the worlds applause sought not,
When l tore myself from thee;
For its praise or blame l care not,
What's its praise or blame to me
He in whom my soul delighted,
From his breast my image drove;
With contempt my truth requited,
And preferred wanton's love.
Thou art proud, but mark me Byron,
I've heart proud as thine own;
Soft to love, but hard as iron,
When despite on me is thrown.
| But farewell, I'll not upbraid thee,
Never, never, wish thee i'll;
Wretched tho thy crimes have made me,
If thou canst-be happy still.

GE In Scotch country parish, not long
ago, there lived a church officer who had
filled that office and that of a gravedigger
for the long space Of fifty years. Suspi-
cions had long been entertained that he
was in the habit Of helping himself out of
the collection plate whenever opportunity
permitted. 1t was difficult of cours. to
prove this. At last, however, the sum of
Clio pound was distracted from the mis-
sionary box, which stood in the vestry, and
everything combined to point out this man
as the culprit. The elders told the minis
ter that something must really DO done.
TIE minister said, Leave him to me, and
I'll see what can be DONE" The following
Sabbath, after the forenoon service, the
minister was taking off his gown and
bands, and being alone in the vestry with
the suspected man, he thought the oppor-
tunity was too good to be lost, SO he said.
"AsGrew, have you heard of the money
that is missing from the box" go ay,"
said Andrew, 81 was hearing something

other, very gravely, "the matter lies be-
tween you and me. We are the only two
who have access to the box. Either you

joined the impe,turable Andrew, sits just
