General News.

At the meeting of delegates represent
ting the miners of the Cumberland tMd)
district, yesterday, it was decided to
demand 55 cents per ton for mining, an
advance on the present rate. -
The militia and police of Toledo, Ohio,
turned out in force yesterday morning
and dispersed the freight blockaders on
the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern
Railroad. Trains were then started in
all directions.
The militia stationed on the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad at Belair, Ohio started
for home yesterday morning, thinking
their services no longer required No
sooner had they left than the strikers
trains and renewed the blockade. An
effort will be made to reopen freight
traffic to-day.
The strike on the Hazleton division of
the Lehigh Valley Railroad ended yes
terday. No trains were run on the main
line, north of Penn Haven Junction, ex-
cept on the Tamaqua branch. No trains
were run on the New Jersey Central
Railroads lines in this State. Work
will probably be resumed at the collieries
around Hazleton to-day.
The coal miners of st. Clair and Nj adj
son counties, ILL.,, reconsidered their
demand OF four cents per bushel for dig
ging coal, and decided TO accept three
cents, on a guaranty from the mine
owners that the latter rate shall stand one
year. The owners agree to the three
cents rate, but refuse the guaranty.
Many of the miners, however, have re-
sumed work on the employers terms,
and, it is thought, all will resume in day
or two.
Matters were quiet in Luzerne county
yesterday, owing to the presence of the
troops under Governor Hartranft and
General Brinton. The latter is at Scran-
ton with force stated at 300 men, and
the Governor is at Kingston with 1000
men. Altogether, it is said there are
5000 troops in the county. The track of
the Lackawanna and Bloomsbury Rail>
road was torn up and obstructed n sever
al places to prevent the passage of the
troops, but the attempts were unsuccess-
ful. An effort will be made to-day to
reopen travel on the upper portion of the
Lehiph Valley Railroad

FIDELITY REwARDHD.-DuIing the re-

ern and Atlantic railroad, which extends
from Atlanta, Ga, to Chattanooga, Tenn,
remained faithfully at their posts, and
did not even make application for au in
crease of wages. Ex-Governor Brown,
the president of the road, has issued a
circular returning thanks to these en-
ployees for their fidelity. and announo-
ing that in recognition of their bearing
he has ordered an increase of five dollars
per month in the pay of conductors and
proportionate increase in the pay of

work th water up to. his little tene-
ment while the intense sun blazes
down on his bare back aud shaven
head. 1t is unlikely that any private
enterprise can spring up amongst the
people to improve the cultivation of
their farms. They are too poor ard
bave.not time to, learn about new inven
tioDs. The fine climate prevents them
from being braced to exertion and re-
bellion as would be the case In a more
Dortherly country.
At sugar factories forced labor is..the
rule under a thin disguise. The laborers
are paid in sugar which is valued ut
the Cairo price. II man wishes it he
can sell his sugar to the authorities at
the factory but it is at the local price
As the sugar is useless to him he is
thus robbed third or fifth of his
earnings. The land itself is made the
meaas of similar extortions. 1t ID re
valued for taxation every six years,
and if it is situated by the river where
the banks are altered by every inuda-
tion the unfortunate farmer has often
te pay for several years after his land
has disappeared. Land left dry be-
comes tho property sof the village or
Commune" and last year a sheykh
was murdered by his own villagers
for appropriating some common land
his owH uses For this the village was
burnt by the Khedive who seized the
of the whole commune himself and
nothing can more plainly show the
state of political degradation to which
Turkish rule has reduced the country
than that the punishment was looked
upon as just and acquiesced in without
a murmur. The people do not care to
grow sugar for The Khedive's benefit
but much prefer corn crops of which
both barely and wheat are everywhere
common. The Fellah rarely eats his
own wheat. 1t is luxury far beyond
him but sailors in the Nile boat live
on the brown bread made from it.
Constant .ill-ussge has made the
Fellah coward and a liar but he has
courage and endurance when suffer
ing is Inevitable. You may see man
at work in heavy irons, yet he wears
a cheerful cOunLenance and greets an
! old acqnaintancewlth pleasant laugh,
He has committed no crime and som'
body had to be punished. "Khismet"
willed that he should be charged and
having no money to bribe the. Judge,
he is Condemned. SO, too, ratnar chan
pay an increased tax, .be will submit
to bastinado, and may be heard to
boast of the number of blows he can
bear and the weeks during which he
was unable to put his feet to the ground
lie looks upon the Government as his
natural enemy and with good cause
regards taxation as Border farmer
must have regarded blackmail. To him
the Khedive is the lineal successor
of the Bedouin freebooter who robbed
his forefathers.

MOSES ABOUT no TURN STATES

Ex-Governor NJ oses is now meditating

whisper of the fact has stampeded near

Carolina. just before being committed

friend "For the last five years l have
been signaled out by many of the lead
ers of the republican party as scape-
goat, on whom has been thrown all of
the odium which should have been dis
tributed among most of those leaders.

to make atonement to my State for what

may have been apparent in my political
career. Self-defense can shame no hon

against those who have sought to injure

exclaimed Mr.. Jones. az amt crazy

You've lost all the sense you used to
have, and that wasn' t enough to brag o"
said uncle Joshua, rather uncompliment-
airy. "Come along 10 the house, and we'll
ask Amelia what it means"
Uncle Joshua led the way with pain
in his stomach, caused by Mr.. Jones's
energetic attempt to teach his supposed
rival not to NEEDLE with the Jones
family, and Mr., Jones followed in his
wake with a sore head and black eye.
There was light in the sitting-room.
Mrs. Jones was there.
"See here, Amelia" exclaimed uncle
Joshua. bursting in like thunderstorm,

my story was-and she wrote that she
would go with her lover, Snd then, when
she thought it all over, concluded to
stay at home and do her duty. The page
that was missing was the one that had
the letter on it that she wrote to her
lover. You found it, and thought / was
going to run away Oh, dear, never

me p and Mrs. Jones laughed until the
tears ran down her cheeks.
" l can't see anything very funny about
it," said Mr.. Jones, feeling rather sheep
ish. How was to know that you were
writing stories? You've no business to
spend your time in that way"
"That's 3d." growled uncle Joshua,
whose stomach began to feel sore and
bruised. "You're a fool for writing
stories, and Jones is fool any way"
Which was poor consolation for Jones.
The story of the whole affair leaked out,
and he will never hear the last of Mrs.
Jones's elopement.

An uncomfortable account of the
present condition of Vesuvius was given
by Professor Boyd Dawkins at the
meeting of the Manchester Geological
Society, recently. Professor Dawkins,
it seems, visited Vesuvius, and on ar
irving at the mouth of the crater found
that it was filled with dense vapor like
fog. A slow roaring noise" could be
heard, and occasionally there was q fash
of light, which was probably the re-
fected glare of the lava surging about
in the volcano. Undismayed by these
symptoms of internal disturbance, the
professor went down seven or eight feet
below the edge of the crater, and found
that he could light pieces of paper in
holes which he dug with his hammer in
the black ash on the inside. Every
thing, indeed, indicated tendency to
eruption, and, according to the accounts
issued by Professor Palmieri, one of the
volcanoes periodical attacks of fever
may be expected in comparatively
short time. Professor Dawkins is of
opinion that Mount Vesuvius performs
the duty of safety-valve to very large
portion of the earth.
Professor Phillips, who has made
Vesuvius special object of attention,
has come to the conclusion that the
volcano has been far more energetic
during the present century than it has
ever been before. The first known erup-
ton was that which overwhelmed
Pompeii and the neighboring country A..
d. 70. 1t was not until the seventeenth
century that the number of eruptions in
the hundred years was as many as four.
In the eighteenth century the number
rose to twenty-three, and during the
present century twenty-six eruptions
have already occurred. How many more
may take place during the remaining
twenty-three years Professor Dawkins is
unable to say. All he knows is that the
mountain is in very restless state, and
may Ego of" at any moment. On the
other band, reports made about January
of expected eruptions ought not to be
noticed 80 much as at other times, as the
inhabitants of Naples make the most of
such reports at this season in order to
attract sightseers.

A delicate tint, known as moonlight

East India stuffs, China grapes, and
Oriental fabrics generally are greatly in

Normandy cap bonnets of silk to
match the costumes, having the soft,
pulled crown encircled with wreath OF
small flowers, are very much worn by
fashionable bellies.
Black tulle wells dotted with straw
