The Duty OF U. j. Marshafs.

The instructions of Attorney Cen
eral Taft to the United States Mar
shals regarding the coming elections,
having been approved by the Presi-
dent, were issued yesterday. In the
course of the circular he advises the
Marshals that they and their deputies
have the right to summon to their as
sistance every person in the disturbed
district, civilian or military, above the
age of Is years. He further says that
no State law or State official has juris-
diction to oppose the .Marshals in the
discharge of their duties, and if such
interference take place it must be dis
regarded. The circular was considered
at conference in Washington yester-
day, between Secretaries Cameron.
Robson and Chandler, Attorney Gen.
eral Taft, and Governor Chamberlain
and Senator Patterson, of South Caro-.
lima. 1t was decided that General
Sherman should issue an order for the
information Of the army, containing
the instructions of the Attorney Gen
eral. Governor Chamberlain was pre-.
sent at the conference by invitation of
the Attorney General and the Secretary
of War.

REAL EsTATEIN PHILADELPHIA
From the philad slnb;o press


The great depression in all the
branches of industry throughout the
country is being daily evidenced, ev:
en- in Philadelphia, which, because of
the location of the centennial exhibi-
tion here, has Jared better than almost
any of the large cities on the Ameri,
can continent. The sheriff sales in
the month of June are reported by
real estate men to have exceeded, in
the number of houses disposed of, any
month since the consolidation of the
city. In the summer of 1876 when
complaints of duh times were loudand
deep, the sheriff executed five hun
dred and seventy.two writs upon
property. But that figure has been in
creased this Summer to six hundred
| eighty seven writs-in June, alone, as
many as eight hundred houses
being put under the hammer. A talk
with the sheriff's officers discloses the
fact that the spectators on the out
side of the centennial grounds have
lost hoabily, and many have been for
ced to succumb. But many lots were
leased for the season az fabulous prices
one lot bringing au income of 800
| loI oiA INontHs, inquire WHICH actual~
ly exceeds its valuation. In another
case prospector endeavored some
time ago to purchase lot on Elm ave
nue., near the Trans Continental hotel
for $40, 900, and called upon a promis
nent real estate broker to advance balf
the money thereon. The lean was
not made. Shortly before the open
ing day of the exhibition the prospec.
tor leased the lot for a year, at the
same figure as he had intended TO buy
but few months previous. Another
establishment, which was fitted up at
an expense of $4,000, was recently sold
at sheriff's sailor $500. There were be-
tween two hundred and fifty and three
hundred taverns located in the vicin-
ity of the centennial grounds during
Maya large portion of these have
been closed, but quite number are
still invitingly open in anticipation Of
the rush from the West. which is ex,
lpected to begin within the next two

Coal RrNGs AND MINERS RINGS
Now that coal has settled down to
something like its true value, we can
better understand the causes of the
profound discontentwhich has longcx-
listed among the miners, These men
have been receiving small wages,
while coal has been selling at about 81
above its proper price and all the pro.
fit going into the Golfers of the mas
ters' ring. Why should we wonder
that the men, seeing how successfully
rings work, have organized one for
themselves and tried to rule or ruin
their employers? In order to keep up
prices the combination have at times
pursued the most unscrupulOus course
toward the men. When it pleased
them to stop production. that they
might enhance their gains, already
great, they have 1T is more than susr

longing to themselves, they have sue
ceeded in throwing on the Miners
Union, There is reason to believe
that the stories of the outrages and eX-
ccssess in the coal region-bad as they
truly are-have often been exaggera-
ted by the coal ring for the purpose of
enlisting the public sympathy on their
side, and under cover of it, running
up the price of coal. There can be no
excuse for the cold. .blooded atrocities
of the Molly Maguires; but these
would never have occurred but forthe
example of the coal ring, which caus-
ed the miners to band together in q
desperate league for their protection.
It seems to be assumed that while low
prices rule for coal, mining must be
suspended: This might be true if the
old wages were still TO be maintained
but now that the ring is broken, and
the day OF high profits in coal (tempo'
raily) over, we aresurpr.ssd to see the
miners accepting the situation and will

How a Boy Works.

In emptying tub Of washing water for
bis mother, there is not one boy in hun
bred who will descend to the feeble arti1ice
of pail and dipper. Neither the protest
OF his mother nor the weight Of the water
intimidates boy. 1t is a higher and q
nob!e1 thing to strain than to save the giz-
zard. He takes the tub by the handles, and
hugging it close to his body, waddles for
ward. He has to move with the creates.
care to keep the water, which attains q
washing motion, from overlooking onto his
clothes. The smashing increases with
every movement until little splashes onto
him. Then he sets the tub down and picks
it up again and carries it at the full length
of his arme, straddling his legs around it in
order that he may advance, and going for
ward an inch at time. while the cords
swell up in his arms and neck, his face
turns purple and his spine fairly cracks. 1t
is painful progressively step is strain
and a pain, but there is nothing ignoble
about it. Even if he should lose his bal
ance in descending the stoop, which he is
likely to do, and in falling catch the entire
contents of the tub over his person, still he
has the proud satisfaction of feeling that
the disaster was met in doing his full duty
as boy.

great republic. Other nations may be
tempted to compete ut Philadelphix by
sending thoroughbred horses or par sang
cattle across the Atlantic; but it is certain
that our enterprising cousins will have the
trotting classes all to themselves. Yet We
confess that We sympathize with their de-
termination to give prizes for fast-walking
horses. Many Of the best Judges of horse
flesh that these islands have produced were
he could do all things well. When Ted.
dipgtop, Aphrudite, Brebs, The Ban, and
COnfessor were all yearlings together at
Leybourne Grange, Sir Joseph Hawley's
stud groom, Tweed, told his master that
TeddingtOn would prove "the pick OF the
basket" as he could outwalk all the
others. FObert, the trainer of the Flying
Dutchman and Van TlOmp, was always q
great Deliver in fast walking race horses.
Every hunting man who has had occasion
to Jog home at night for twenty miles upon
the back of tired hunter is aware what a
blessing it is to bestr;de good walker and
sprightly trOtter instead OF an animal "whO
kicks q six pence before him at every step"
Nothing is better known than proficiency

horses than are distinctive types OF features
in human families. Tombstone and Or
lardo, the grsrdshire and sire OF Tedding-
ton. we're themselves famous walkers, and

English breeders to the development Of ex-
celIeDce in this gait the centennial will not

English and American Horses.

The London Field, referring to the invi-
tation sent to England for the exhibition of
live etock during the Philadelphia exhibi-
ton, says: In the meantime it is amusing
to observe that prizes will be awarded at
Philadelphia to horses which possess merits
unappreciated, or at least unrewarded, on
this side Of the Atlantic. Thus we read
that awards will be made for running hor-
ses having made fastest record" for "trot-
ting stations having trOtted mile within
23O," and for "mares and geldings having
trOtted mile within 2:25." In England we
are accustomed to make entire colts con-
cede three pounds to geldings or mares.
whereas in the United States mares and
geldings are asked to trot q mile with
in 2:25, while stallious are regarded
as ''up to proof" if they can C.
complish the same distance with
in $50 It would not be easy to get to-
getber a synod of English racing men who
would be willing to give prize to run
mag horses having made fastest record. )"
We have long ago satisfied ourselves that
nothing can be more fallacous than the
time test. and it Is notorious that Boutwell,.
who was little more than platter, won the

The West p0int AcadA,nv.

The Washington dispatches say The House
Appropriation Committee has swOOped
down on West Point Academy, and cut
down expenses right and lett in a most un-7
merciful manner. This was to be expected;
the Democrats never could forgive the
West Pointers, who so brilliantly led the
Northern armies during the rebellion. They
have determined to cripple the army and
make 1T laughing stock before the people,
and 1t IS fitting and proper they should also
DestOw their attentions upon the military
academy. In his History of the Civil
War in America. the Count De Paris refers
to the West Point Academy as standing un-
changed amid scenes of the most hustling
activity in this hurrying, Kaleidoscope
country. He refers to the uniforms, a copy
OF that worn by the First United States En-
gineers, and points it out a. an Instance
that, with the military college, Congress
was not disposed to NEEDLE. The Count
De Paris was not familiar with the ways Of
Democratic politicians. When he was in
this country Q sagacious people had them
in the background. Now they have put
themselves forward under false pretences,
and will next propose that the professors
and tutors perform their duties on oondi-
ton of being relieved from active military
life, and that the cadets feed and clothe
themselves. Why not sell the academy, or
lease it under contract to private persons.
1t might be made quite . paying nstitu-
ton, or it might be closed at once. As tho
army is to be practically useless IN tho
future, there is no need for the Military
Academy. On the whole, the plan Of letting
it ont would be tho most profitable. we
think.-Neso York Commercial Aacertiser.

Affecting scene in a Deaf Mute School.

A beautiful incident is related to ne.
which occurred only few DAYS ago in the
Home School to teach mutes articulation
and lip reading, at Mystic River. Mas
P, an interesting graduate OF one of the
oldest institutions for the education of deaf
mutes. having desire to learn 20 speak
and to read the lips Of her speaking friends,
was recommended by her old principal to
try Mr. Whipple's school, and she entered
it last term. She made rapid progress, and
was much aided by the Il atural alphabet
the invention of her teacher. This a pha BET
curiously suggests sound. or the right posi-
ton OF the organs to utter sound, as we'll as
form, and whenever mute pupil can read
and write it. he or she can generally give
any Of the forty sounds of our difficult Ian
guage with great precision and Giscrimina-
ness. This young lady, filed with
enthusiasm at every step, mastered
the alphabet with little difficulty, and one
day came to her teacher with something
written on her slate, which she asked him
to correct, her mind being agitated with
emotion. 1t proved to be the Lords PRAYER,
pat into the language of articulation. Per
ceiving her agitation, the teacher could
scarce restrain his own tears as he corrected
few unimportant errors of pronunciation,
and delicately returned it. The next morn.
ing the lady came exultingly to her teacher
exclaiming, Il prayed last night for the
first time in my life with my voice. and
neither of them could restrain their emo
tions. He ventured to ask her if she had
ever prayed before. 'Oh, yes; l have
thought my prayers, but l never spoke them
before" my lips shall praise Thee. o God"
ATTEND to the voice Of my applications,
Lord" The earnestness and satisfaction
