their quietus at the point OF the bayonet ant

Of the circumstances that have led to til,
sayagery of these Draidwood miners will be
| Of interest under the circumstances. Braid
wood is the centre of coal-mining district
y short distance below Wilmington, and or:
dinariiY the seen of busy industry. About
| month ago, few Of the miners struck for
higher wages, and, their demands not being
! agreed to, they quit work. The owners,
rather than have their mines lie idle, en1.
ployed about 400 colored miners, some
from this city and others from various parts
men were willing TO work at the wages
offered them. The Company was wiling to
have them work. 1t is to ba presumed by
every one, except wEite Bradwood miner,
that these negroes haye q right to work,
that they have stomachs to fill, and their
families to care for. As they wee in
danger Of attack from stragglers, they
were armed for their own defense,
and have taken good care Of themselves aud
performed their duties faithfully. Every
thing was peaceful until the present strike
commenced, when, taking advantage of the
general confusion, force Of over l, 500 strik~
ing white miners overpowercd them, seized
their arms, and drove them out of the mines.
They appealed TO the Sheriff for help, but he
could not furnish it, aud, in danger of
starvation, they appealed to the county for
food. The Braiuwood savagcs thereupon
prevented the county authorities from fur
nishing 1t, and drove them out 1uto the
country, where they, with their wives aud
guilty OF no oTense but the desire
to work, re compelled to subsist upon
private charity. In this emergency the Gov
ernor has issued an order that these men
shall be replaced in their situations, if they
are willing to work that they shall be pro-
tected in tueir labor; aud that the property of
the Company shall not suffer damage. 70 this |
end the First Regiment Of this city and tie !
Third Regiment from Rockford have already
gone to Braidwood, and if necessary the |
Governor will employ the whole power of t
he State to protect the colored miners. If
he striking miners resist, the troops will
make short work Of them. They have shown
themselves as brutal, cruel, and inhuman
IS savages in their treatment # the colored
men, who have as much rtgat TO work and
'arn living as they; and if they make any
eslstance to the Governors orders they

Power of the Eve.

Man cannot fix his eye on the sum-
ana so far seems imperfect. In Siberia
late traveller found men who could
see the satellites of Jupiter with their
una1ded eye. In same respects the an
imals excel us. The birds have long
er sight, besid es the advantage by their.
wings of higher observatory. A COW
can bid her calf,Sby secret signal, prob
ably OF the eye, to run away, or to lie
down and hide itself. The jockeys say
of certain horses, that " they look over
the whole ground" The outdoor life,.
and hunting and labor, give equal vigor
to the human eye. A farmer looks out.
at you as strong as the horse: his eye
beam is like the stroke of staff. An
eye can threaten like a loaded and
leveled gun, or can insult like Kissing
or kicking; or, in It's altered mood, by
beams of kindness it can make the,
heart dance with JOY.
Eyes are as bold as ions-roving,
running, leaping, here and there, far
and near. They speak all languages.
They wait for no introduction; they
are no Englishmen; ask no leave Of
age, or rank; they respect neither poy-

What inundation of life and thought is
discharged from one soul into another,

magic. We look into the eyes to know
if this other form is another self, and
the eyes will not lie, but make a ia it'll
full confession what inhabitant is there.
The revelations are sometimes terrific.
The confession of q low, usurping devil

Great Snakes.
Lawrence (Kan.) Tribune

d1WIeuGe lhau') 4IiDuue.
The citizens of Lickskillet, Ridgeway
Township, Usage County, have had an
unusual kind of excitement In hunting
snakes. Last autumn some people saw
some snakes going in and out of hole
in Mr.. Losh's place, so number of
neighbors concluded to dig them out.
After digging part of the afternoon
they came to a den of the reptiles. AS
it was poor day for snakes, the result
of the slaughter was only eighty-six,
consisting of rattlesnakes, oopperheads,
blacksnakes, and blue-racers, some of
which were six feet long, and some
were as large as q mans arm. Some
of the rattlesnakes had as many as ten
rattles. There are more supposed to
be In the hole, that will be dug out in
time.

in regard to potatoes being cure for
rheum atism: "One of my nelghbors
used to suffer with rheumatism SO as to,
be unable to work at times. He car
ried one or two small raw potatoes in
his pocket for years. Soon after he.
commenced carrying them the pain,
left him and never came back again.
The potatoes became hard as stones.
Several years ago my father asked a.
physician for remedy for piles. He
said he was with dozen Intelligent
physicians few years before, when
one of the number asked each one to-
give his remedy for piles. Nearly
every one put his hand in his pocket.
at the same time, and on taking it out,
held up a Buckeye. The doctor tell

years. My father carried one in his
pocket after that until he died. have
