Tor this section Of the Boston Journal is also cs-

An audience which packed Granite Hall greet
ed the Reform Club at their meeting yesterday af
ternoon, evincing that the public are pleased
with the exercises OF our Sabbath Temperance
meetings. and deeply interested in the success of
the club. President Rogers fairly defined the po-
stion of the Reform in regard to their relations
with liquor dealers, and stated it to be the desire
of the club to discern between the work which
properly devolved upon it, and that which be-
longed to the marshal and the community. The
hearty applause of the audience showed their
hearty qualification Of the course pursued by the
Reformers. Mr. Gent of the Auburn Club, Mr.
Enman Of the Lewiston Club Mr.. Smith Of the
IIallowell Club, and Mr.. Frank Gaslin were the
other speakers, making interesting remarks. The
announcement was made that as visits were ex-
pected from the Gardiner and IIallowell clubs
within a week or ten days, upon which occasions
mass meetings will be held on week day evenings,
and as the speakers and singers of our club con-
template trip to neghboring towns 10 help start
similar organizations, the Sabbath meanings will
be postponed until the first Sunday in May.

The Coal Ring Broken.

The dissolution of the combination
known as the Coal Ring is an event
which will cause rejoicing everywhere.
A more gigantic wrong was never at
tempted. Six carrying companies sought
not only to monopolize the whole
business of transportation, but to
regulate prices and production without
regard to the interests of either produc-
ers or consumers. For long time the
Lehigh Valley railroad held out against
the combination, but finally, in May
last, it was coerced into an agreement
with the others, and sent representa-
tive to the Board of Control. Now the
combination is broken because the same
road disregarded the terms of its agree
ment and continued to carry as much
coal to tide. water as its facilities would
allow. BY way of reprisal the Hudson
Canal Company, the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western railroad, and the
Philadelphia and Reading railroad will
sell five hundred thousand tons of coal
at auction in this city ON Tuesday next,
and hereafter the price will be fixed by
an actual demand, not an arbitrary sup
ply. Under such conditions people will
rejoice that the Lehigh Valley
railroad did not live up to the terms of
Of the agreement.-NeD York Herald.

A Specimen OF Turkish Government.

A correspondent OF the Times at Con-
stantinople gives, merely incidentally,
an account of transaction in the Tur-
kish islands which shows, better than a
volume of argument, how Turks govern.
The people of the Southern Sporades,
about $4,000 in number, living by
sponge-fshipg, belonged, in 1882, to the
Kingdom of Greece, but were handed
over to Turkey at the final settlement.
They were, however, allowed to continue
their self-government till, in 1857, the
Porte suddenly subjected them to Tur-
kish officials, and in 1869 deprived them,
for no reason whatever, of all privileges,
and imposed a variety of new taxes. The
islanders fled almost en- masse, the
sponge fshingb oats sank from 450 to 100,
and the prosperity of the islands disap-
peared. The people are ruined and the
Porte not benefited, the whole transac-
ton resulting only in pay for few Off
Gals. This is the way in which the
Pashas eat up their own resources under
the status quo in Turkey, which Mr..
Disraeh calls upon all wise EnglisLmen
to protect Suppose the Southern Spo.
rades go back to Greece, who except
Pashas will be the losers a-Londo,,

Queer Boston Advertisement.

Advertisements in the Boston newspa-
pers say: ga young and highly accoml
plished lady, possessed of rare persona
beauty, grace and form, of irreproacha-
BILE character, reared in the lap OF luxu-
ry, accustomed to affiuence but not to
labor, has, by sudden reverse of for
tune, been reduced to poverty" Under
these adverse circumstances, the adver-
tisement goes on to say, this rare young
woman has agreed, for the remuneration
of $25, 900, to be publicly weighed on
the stage of Music hall. Photographs
of her, yelled, and wearing the dress in
which she is to be weighed, are offered
for sale at dollar each, and every pur-
chaser may guess her weight, the corr It
estimate to be rewarded with $40, 0C0.
Further stipulations are as follows !:
:" She has agreed, when she steps upon
the scales to be weighed, to raise her
veil, that all parties interested may see
the lady they have guessed upon. She
has also contracted not to weigh herself,
or be weighed, until she steps upon the
scales on the stage" 1t is not explained
why, the photographed woman being
yelled, some other person may not be
substituted at the weighing, and the in
genious manager thus be enabled to pre-
vent anybody but himself from naming
the exact weight.

Paris In Midsummer.

The correspondent of the New York
Tribune finds Paris the most tOlerable
of great cities in hot weather. He gives
as a reason for Partisan comfort the fact
that Frenchmen live out doors as much
as possible during heated term, while
Americans shut themselves up indoors,
or sit on stoop or q curb stone, as in
New York. He pictures all Paris dining
on the boulevards in lively description,
which makes us wish the fashion might
be introduced into American cities. He
admits that there are drawbacks to sum-
mer enjoyment in the brilliant Capital.
The asphalt has way of hquefying to
about the consistency and temperature
of molten lava the brilliant limestone,
of which the city is built, reflects the
sun with uncc mfortable ferceness, and
the inordinate amount of gas in all the
thoroughfares heats and thickens the at
mosphere, and makes you feel on July
night as if you were in vast concert
hall. But there are hundred persua-
sions to invite you out of doors. The
boulevards are long chain of cafes,
each with little promontory of chairs
and tables projecting into the sea of
asphalt. You may dine IN the Champs
Elysees at table spread under the
trees, beside an ivied wall, and pay more
for your dinner, though it will not be SO
good as at restaurant on the Boulevard.
You may indulge in a cheap idyl by
taking short sail in q penny steamer
down the Seine to Auteuil, and dining
in gui'agette on the bank of the stream,
where the table is spread under trellis
that scratches your head, and fried fish
is the chief article on the bill of fare.
Or you may dine at the Bots de Bou-
logne, at a restaurant near the Cascade
and the Longchamps race course. Here
are stately trees, picturesquely grouped,
i1reproachable tables, and carriages roll
ing up with housekeeping horses, and
depositing all sorts of ladies. The drive
back through the woods is charming,
and the air always cool, no matter how
hot the city is when you reach it.

The Metropolis Of the Black Hills,

The Black Hills Pioneer, of Dead
wood, has the following on the develop
ment of that metropolis: "On the 2Sth
of April, 1876, Deadwood City was laid
out and the lots become subject to loca-
ton. Since that time, phoenix like, our
city has sprung into existence, and with
a degree of certainty can we look upon
her as city to be proud of to day, and
one we can rest assured of as being not
only to-day, but for years to come, the
metropolis of Lawrence county, organ
lied or unorganized. To-day the value
of the improvements already made in our
city will foot up not less than $4,000,
not saying word regarding the value of
the lots themselves, which cost, in the
first place, the small sum of $3.50 each.
Taking the price paid for unimproved
lots sold in the past few days, we are of
the opinion that the actual cash valua-
ton of the real estate OF Deadwood City
will exceed 800, 900, and the city is yet
an infant, being just three months old"

A Toledo Man Falls over PrecIpice 81
GU ft 1l l Nisgsrs. ir1 esed efa n'l
| "A Toledo excursion party visited
Niagara on Sunday. Among them wa
Hermann Weigel. About 4:30u in the
afternoon Mr.. Weigel, his wide, and
number Of others, were standing on the
brow of the hill. Just above the Clifton
House, on the Canadian side. At the
point where they were standing there
was sheer fall OF something more than
eighty feet from the ground to the river
bank. Mr.. Weigel was standing very
close TO the edge. looking down to the
river below. His wife stood Just behind
him, and had hold of his coat. She was
frightened at the manner he stood, and
telling him not to stand so close to the
edge, gently pulled his coat to have him
come back. Mr.. w. replied that she
need not be afraid; he was all right and
would not faIl, at the same time giving
little jerk to get his coat out of his
wife's hands. That jerk was too much |;
he lost his balance and fell headlong o, er
that frightful precipice, striking on the
sharp rocks, eighty feet below. For an
instant the little group was dumb. Not
q thing could be done, so Mortified were
they at the dreadful calamity.
Finally one of them mustered up cour-
age enough to look over the bank, and
he saw the unfortunate man lying ON the
rocky shore beneath. The news of the
accident spread like wildfre, and in q
few minutes the bank was crowded with
people. Just then patrolman Dan Sulh-
van, who was with the party, came up,
and, hearing what had happened, started
at once to get the remains, before they
were carried off by the water. With the
assistance of gentleman who resides at
the falls, Dan started on his dangerous
trip down the precipice, which was as
perpendicular as wall. Here he could
put his foot on piece of shelving rock,
there he caught little shrub, and once
he dropped about four feet into small
sapling, which bent with his weight.
Above him stood the friends with bated
breath, expecting every minute to see
him dashed to pieces on the rocks. But
slowly and steadily the intrepid officer,
who knows not what fear is, descended
until he reached the bottom. 0
Only short distance from the waters
edge was all that remained of Hermann
Weigel, who, but few minutes before,
was alive and well. 1t seems that when
he fell he struck his head upon sharply
pointed stone, which crushed his skull
and killed him instantly. The body was
fearfully bruised and mangled.
Turnkey Stein, after Sullivan had ar
rived at the bottom of the precipice,
lowered rope, which was fastened
around the lifcless body, and it was
slowly drawn up to the sad crowd above.
A wagon was in waiting and the body
was placed in that and taken directly to
the train, which shortly afterward left
for Toledo, arriving here this morning.

Pull Clerks with Care.

An English medical journal, received
by the last mail, contains the following
disagreeable, but interesting informa-
ton I" A man was last week admitted
into Croydon General Hospital with
one of his eyes so damaged by the cork
of ginger-beer bottle, which he was
opening, that it was found necessary to
remove his eyeball. We have also heard
of many other injuries produced in this
way. But it is not, as rule, the oper-
ator of the bottle who is the victim.
People have generally sufficient consid-
Grafton for themselves to point the dam
gerous weapon in another direction.
Barmaids, especially, are very careful
not to incur any damage from fugitive
corks, but they are, unfortunately, not
equally careful about other people who
may be in the line of fire. We think
that much more care ought to be exer-
cised in dealing with all explosive agen-
cies, including soda water bottles. The
careless way in which the corks are now
priced out in many refreshment rooms,
and allowed to go where they list, is
very censurable."

The Vacant Sneakership.

There is already considerable specula-
ton as to the successor of the late
Speaker Kerr, but there is little in the
Office to invite competition when the
election is merely to fill vacancy. The
Speakership is, indeed, q position Of
great power and influence, but that is
only because he has the appointments Of
the House committees. Stripped of this
power the Speaker would be political
cipher, like the Vice President, who has
no other function than that OF mere
presiding officer in the Senate. 4
Speaker elected to fill vacancy after the
House is organized occupies a similar
position. The committees selected by
Mr.. Kerr at the beginning of the late
session will hold their places through
out the existence of the Forty fourth
Congress, and his successor will merely
fill the few accidental vacancies that may
occur. This explains why MIR. Randall,
who is the head of very important
committee, will not be candidate for
the vacant Speakership, and why little
or no feeling will be exhibited in the
choice. The new Speaker will not be
dispenser of important and influential
positions, and the choice of a mere
presiding officer is not worth struggle.
Ii the Chairman of committee is
elected Speaker the member who stands
next to him will, b. usage and courtesy,
succeed him as Chairman of the COM
mittee, and the vacancy in the committee
be filed by appointing a new member at
its tail. Mr.. Sayler, who served ac-
ceptably as Speaker pro tenn. during the
latter part of the expired session, has
the best chance for election as
Speaker when Congress meets in Decem--
ber.-Ne,0 York Herald.

Keep a Roof Over Your Head.

Neuralgia in the faces and heads
women is largely on the increase a.
compared with the number of instances
of the disease among men and this is
believed to be due to the inferior pro-
lection afforded by the mode in which
women now cover their heads. 1t is not
only one of the most common OF femin-
inc maladies, but one of the most pain
full and difficult of treatment. 1t is also
a cause of much mental depression, and
is regarded by physicians as leading
more often to habits of intemperance
among women than any other disease.
