AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.-A min
isteral crisis is impending at Pesth,
Hungary; dispatches say:
Negotiations we're opened Tuesday
for renewal of ten years of the COM
promise of 1867, when Austria and
Hungary dualized. The Hungarians
wish to establish a national bank. with
power to issue notes. The Austrian
ministers oppose it, and threaten it to
resign. The feeling in Vienna is very
bitter. All the journals declare a
complete separation of Austria and
Hungary is preferable to compliance
with Hungary's demand for the forced
circulation of Hungarian bank notes
in Austria aud the bankruptcy which
would ensue.

PROFESSION AND PRACTICE

PROFESSION AND PRACTICE -
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5 -1he Demo.
Gratis were again placed on record in
the House, to-day, on the policy of
giving Union soldiers the preference
IN subordinate positions in the House.
Mr.. Kasson introduced resolution.
recitlng that the people would always
feel grateful to the Union soldiers and
hold them in grateful remembrance,
and those who were wounded, as well
as the widows and orphans of those
who were killed shall be taken care of.
The Democrats realizing their past
mistake on this question, voted for a
resolution, almost to man, and
thought they had beaten the Repub-
licans by SO doing. Mr.. Fort, Re-
publican, of Illinois, followed this by
another resolution, declaring that in
pursuance of the doctrine enunciated
in the former resolution, the officers
of the House be instructed to give
worthy Union soldiers the preference
in making their appointments. This
fell like bomb she'll in the Democrat
ic ranks, and they ''went back" on
their previous votes by voting this re-
solution down, and then referring it
to the Centennial Committee.

q There has been so much said about
the Emma mine swindle,v that the
impression is probably almost uni
versal that the project was an inten-
tional fraud from the start. But the
Virginia City(Nev.) Enterprise says
that this mine, originally, "Gave
every indication of being worth ten
times the amount it was sold for in
London. No distillery in Kentucky
ever held up such a promise of wealth
rs did the Emma. We do not expect
to convince eastern people of the
truth of this, but miners understand
it perfectly" And again, "We know
: .ane mine in this State which, since
its purchase, has increased in value
more than the Emma has deprecated,
and yet, while to-day its stock is held
MT many millions. it does not look so
< well as the Emma did when it was
sold. The Emma was a misfortune,
not an intended swindle, and that
fact will yet he fully demonstrated"

gas which had accumulated in the
mines that have been idle this week.
A short time after the disaster, crowds
gathered about the breaker, when at

brought up. Great distress and sorrow
was manifested by all as the dead and
