There is much significance in the
news from China that the coal depos-
its near Marking are to be worked,
and that locomotive has made trial
trip on tramway near Shanghai. It
is still more noteworthy that the
Chinese have launched an iron-clad

they have named "The Terror of

industrial progress thus indicated, it
is gratifying to learn that the Flowery

URG, ALLEGANY COUNTY, MARYLAND SATURDAY, s. 1876
The Editor and Chagrined Miners.

The editor of the Avalonche, at Sill
yer City, Idaho, has had an unpleas-
ant bit of adversely. The Empire
mine in that neighborhood ceased op-
erations, leaving the employees wages
unpaid to the amount of $4,000.
The agent went to San Francisco to
get some money from the company if
possible, and when he started to re-
turn somebody telegraphed to the
editor that the funds were with him.
The editor bulletined the news, hired
band of music, got up a procession
of jubliant miners, and marched at its
head to meet the agent. The horses
were unhitched from the stage, the
miners dragged the vehicle with ropes,
the band played "See, the conquering
hero comes" and the jolly company
thronged into building where mass
meeting was to be held. There was
only one speech. The agent made it,
and the substance Of it was that he
had no money. The meeting was ad-
ourned at once, amid Kisses for the
editor.

BRUSSELS has the largest ice house
in the world. The roof covers an
area of $4,000 square feet the walls
are double, and filled with moss and
sawdust. There are nine separate ice
chambers, each OF 10000 cubic feet
capacity. There are galleries for
storing meat in hot weather, capable
of holding 1000 quarters. A million
tons of ice have been stored in the
building at one time.
The habitual use of pills, or drops,
or any kind of medicine whatever, for

A HIGH OLD pAssENcGH CONDUCTOR.

A few days ago a freight conductor
on one of the railroads went to the
Superintendent and said he thought
he ought to be advanced, having served
on the freight f6ir several years. The
Superintendent agreed with him, and
told him that the change should be
made the very next week. And it was
made. The heSupcrintendenta day or two
after took seat in the rear end of one
of the coaches to see how the new
conductor would take to business,
and pretty soon the official danced in
to the door, cap on his ear, sleeves
pushed up, and a half-acre smile on
his face.
Get out your pasteboards !" he
shouted, I'm the high mucl1y muck
that runs this train, and then, turn
ing right and left, he continued:
Fright bowers this Way-play lively
pass or order up - how's trumps
with you-slide you right into Chica
go-hurry UP there trump this ace
what kind OF u hand do you hold
old mani"
There was something novel and ex-
hilarating in his style, but yet the
superintendent called the conductor
up stairs the next day and told him
that he was the best man in America
to run freight train, and that he
should have to promote him back
wards. He was too talented for pas
senger conductor.-Detr1t Free Press.

The exercise of the student should
be regular, gentle, always stopping
short of fatigue. One hours joyous
walk with cheerful friend in street
or field, or woodland, will never fail
to do greater and a more unmixed
good than double the time in the most
scientifically conducted gymnasium
in the world. There are individual
cases where the gymnasium is of the
most undeniable benefit; but the
masses would be the better for having
nothing to do with them. A million
times better recipe than the gymnas-
ium for sedentary persons is: Eat
moderately and regularly of plain,
nourishing food, we'll prepared spend
two or three hours every day in the
open air, regardless of the weather, in
moderate, untiring activities.

A most valuable manuscript has
been discovered in the Azores. 1t
refers to the colonization, in the year
1900, of the northern part of America,
by emigrants from Oporto, Averio
and the Island of Tercira. 1t was
written by Francisco de Soma in 1870.
Barboza Machado states that it was
lost during the great earthquake of
Lisbon, in ITS. This most important
document is about to be published by
