The Bernen Springs Journal (Tilden) has q
"spasm OF sense and discourses as follows
on tho text OF the refusal Of the Democratic
Convention to place Judge Cooleys name at
the head of it's State ticket:
''The difficulty with that party in this State
is, they persist in making efforts to elect a
ticket when 1t is impossible to do 90, and
always act bullheaded when they have chance
to win. A notable example of this was in 1874,
when they could have swept the State and
elected United States Senator. The opposi.

had been left alone. But it was encountered

The many friends OF Miss Alta NJ. Hulett,
late Of this city, will be panied to learn Of her
sudden death, which occurred at San Diego
California, last week OF quick consumption.
Miss liulett was lawyer, and had been prac-
tIcing in this city for two or three years. Dur
ing that time che has gained hosts of friends
and an enviable practice. She was wholly en-
crossed IN her profession. and was possessed
of great ambition, an apparently line consttu-
ton, and indomitable energy. She babe fair
to win niche in the temple Of fame. More
than this, she was spurred on by the thought
that she was pioneer in new track for
woman. Even those who felt that she was
working outside OF woman's sphere we're COM
PEELED 10 respect her earnestness. ability, and
worth, She possessed in an unusual degree
some of the characteristics which are supposed
to belong to the sterner sex, and they con-
tributed no doubt to her success. She was
fond OF cool reasoning, and liked the contests
Of the forum, and she often said she was not
made to be married.
Consumption was hereditary in her family,
and she had reason to know when she caught
severe cold in September last that the result
might easily be fatal. But she could not make
up her mind to leave at once. The disease
progressed very rapidly, aud within q month
after the first attack she began to suffer from
hemorrhage Of the lungs. Even then she
could hardly endure 10 leave here, and tears
would come in her eyes at the thought OF going
away, even for time, before she had won the
name she 80 much coveted. Finally, in
November the symptoms became so serious
that she left here and went 20 San Francisco.
and from there to San Diego, where she died.
She knew her danger, AMI before she left spoke
OF the probability OF not being able to return,
but her grief seemed to be less about her
health than lest some should misunderstood
her or think that a woman could not succeed
as q lawyer. Though she died so far from bel
home, her last moments we're soothed by the
presence Of her mother, stepfather, and sister

The Coal TRAD.


The anthracite ,oal trade is without spe-
cial feature. As he season has now reached
about the period khen the trade Is expected
to slacken off te supply has necessarily
lessened and thedemand is light. In addi-
ton the very ieavy rains week or ten
days ago have % flooded many of the mines
as to prevent operation in therhJ were it ever
so desirable. Even in SOME mines above
water, we are bid, the water has stood for a
time eight inclts above the falls the natu-
raj drainage bing unable to carry it off as
fast as it accumulated. In others it has fill
ed the workings and driven out the miners,
while still ohefs, though able to keep the
workings cler; have been forced to use all
their steam n pumping and had hone left
for hoistins coal. About dozen of the
Philadelphia and Reading Company's col
lieries haw been compelled to stand idle
from one u several days each on account of
the water and number Of the mines ope-
rated by Individuals have suffered Interrupt
ton fromthe same cause. Throughout all
of the several coal regions the superabuhd-
ance of water has proved great inconveni-
ence. The truth of the proverb that "thete
is neveran evil without some corresponding
good" we but look wisely for it, is proven
in this temporary interruption to coal pro-
ductiol. It has ifitimidated coal consumers,
and il fear of short supply of coal the re-
tail emand has quiGkened little and
price are decidedly hrmer. The present of
the tade is measurably lost sight of in con-
temlating the future: 1t is now time to
conider some arrangement for the next
yea's business. The question of another
combination of the coal companies; with or
without the pooling accompaniment,is moot
ed but there seems little prospect of a con-
summation at present. There is not sufficient
cnfdence for that refosed by the corpora
tons in each other. If the managers of our
oal companies would devote as much time
md attention to devising practical business
ilie measures for increasing trade and secur-
ing economy in every department of their
affairs, that they do to concocting schemes
for combination that violate the first princi-
pies of political economy, they would better
serve the interests of their stockholders and
those of the trade at large. Reliefto the an
thracite coal trade is approaching through
the expansion of its market, and it is only
necessary to close the more expensive col
lieries and let the cheaper ones supply the
market until there is demand for all.-
