The Coal Mining Troubles.

Pennsylvania specials say the i 900 idle
worlmen Of Pennsylvania Coal Company
have been requested to resume work at
the old rates, and trust to the judgement
OF the company for higher wages. They
declined, fearing trap.
They We're compelled to be idle by the
burning of one of the company's engine
houses a fortnight ago, and would have
returned to work If asked in the usual
way but they refuse to sign any binding
agreement. In the Lackawana region
the depredations OF idle miners cannot be
described.
Fifty thousand men are striking, and
great trouble is feared next winter The
union collieries Of the Schuylkill Co, are
raising 800, 200 to assist the strikers in
the Lehigh region. Miners meetings de
nounce the blacklegs, and coal breakers
are placarded with notes ordering opera
tons to cease.
The attempt to start collieries on the
north side to-day, it is feared will cause
trouble. Wholesale arrests have been
made in the Shamokin regions, and out
laws are threatening vengeance. At
tempts were made to fire the Mineral
COS colleries Saturday night.
The bridge of the Northern Central
railroad was fired, but the flames were
eXtinguished.
Some employee OF Cameron Lake, Fid-
dler and HnkerlJn ridge collieries desire
to return to work, but this would precip-
ita1e grave troubles.
The Molly Aaguires from Locust Gap
fought the strikers near Mount Carmel;
two strikers were severely injured. Three
Molies were thrown down the mountain
side and probably were killed

Il whale rushing madly for the dory. In

leaving Letter to navigate for himself
This he proceeded to do, for he soon
reached the inverted dory, and by the
help Of the plug lanyard climbed upon the
bottom. While seated there on his wa

and found his whale visitor tearing again
towards him /. On he came, and again
crushing against the boat, knocked Letter
into the sea once more, where he t1oun-
lered until he finally got hold of the
boats rope, to which he chung till res
cued 10y his mates, who seeing the encoun-
ter, hurried to his relief. This is all true,

YesI

Miss Maria Roop, author of series of
pleasant New York letters that appeared
in the NetoS some months ago under the
title of Glimpses of Gotham" was mar
ried in Boston on Saturday. Capt. Roop,
a distant relative who sails an English
ship, visited Mr.. John Roop's a few
weeks ago on his way to Parrsboro, N.
S., and met his fate in the person of the
young lady who is now his wife. He
came, saw and was conquered. He re-
turned to New York and began to load
for Java, but sang "Her Sweet Smile
Haunts Me STILL" and whistled "The
Girl l Left Behind Me-" Would she
marry him and go on that long and lone
ly voyage to the East?
He wrote to her, and proposed that she
meet him in Boston the next week, marry
him and sail for Java. His boat was on
the shore and his bark was on the sea, or
loading at the wharf, and she must de-
eide at once. The letter was received in
the morning, and had not been read more
than a dozen times (such letters require
a great deal of reading, it seems) when
dispatch arrived to the following effect:
"Please answer my letter by telegraph
yes or no?" Any girl can promptly
say yes or no at the offer of heart and
hand, but when such an offer is coupled
with three days notice of marriage and
a sea voyage to the East Indies the case
requires little more consideration. So
she took time to consider, and added
strength to the saying that the woman
who considers is lost, for when the after
noon of the same day brought her an
other dispatch, which was simply " Yes
or MOI" she went to the telegraph office
and wrote " Yes" on blank. The oper-
ator, knowing nothing of the vast i'm
portance of that monosyllabic message,
placed it on file for transportation, and
the most anxious man in New York was
soon made happy by its reception. The
lady left here on Friday morning last
and met and married the Captain at the
residence of relative in Boston. Their
wedding tour will be long one-around
the world, but not in eighty days.-St.
John Netos.

Saving Seed.

One of the most important questions
that should interest the farmer is that of
selecting the most perfect seed for SOW
ing and planting. The question here will
become pertinent, why should not farm
ers use the same care in growing and saw
ing their seed, and in experimenting as
regards excellence in quality, as do the
seedsmen engaged in growing vegetable
and flower seed for sale?
We know from actual experiment not
only that any given variety of grain may
be brought to high standard of excel
lence, but, this attained, care must be
used in keeping the standard good, else
it will degenerate in far less time than
was required to bring it up.
The means to be used to breed up
grain or other vegetable products of the
farm are precisely those used by the
breeders of animals. That is: careful
selection, and breeding to a type. This,
and attention in selecting only thorough
ly ripened seed, with good cultivation,
will in few years increase the yield on
any farm from so to 100 per cent.
From our experience we know that
one Of the great disabilities in the germi-
nation of seed corn is the practice of
many otherwise good farmers, who select
their seed from the field as soon as the
grains are glazed, trace it up, and use
this for seed. 1t is true, this will tend
to earlier ripening, but at the sure ex-
pense of both quality and quantity. The
same is true of our cereal grains gener-
ally, and of every other product of the
farm.
From this we see the necessity of ex-
amining, not only into the perfect de-
velopment of the seed, as regards quail
ty, but also that the seed be perfectly
ripe.
Let us take case in point: A farmer,
we'll known for his care in the selection
of his seed, made it a practice to set
apart each year a certain portion of his
fields for the raising of seed. Upon
these seed plats none but the most select
seed was used, and of a given quality.
The best cultivation was given, without
regard to cost, and the product of these
seed plats was used for the general crops;
the top or extra grain being carefully
sorted each year, to be again sown for
future seed. Thus he always had none
but the best and most mature seed for
sowing, and always obtained an extra
price from others for seed from his fields.
But his own selected seed for these plats
could not be bought at any price. Any
farmer may do this, and, if all would do
SO, the careful cultivation required in
these cases would soon educate the indi.
vidual to more careful cultivation in his
general crops intended for market. 1t
will payl-PrGiris Farmer.

his pledges. Because of those pledges
the place was given, and the country will
not refuse its confidence so long as the
effort TO keep them is made in good faith
and with reasonable success. The Pres.
ident has been more unfortunate in what
must be frankly described as the verdan-
cy OF his Cabinet. They wanted to do
the right thing, but In their newness to
political methods they simply did not
know how. They have thus been be-
trayed by their rawness into occasional
positive blunders, but their main mis-
haps have been of the negative kind. But
neither their positive blunders, nor the loss
of favorable opportunity have blinded the
country TO the fact that the President is
honestly heading in the right direction,
and that he means to be surrounded by
capable men, striving to the same end.
The opposition to the Southern policy
will die out il no mad conduct at the
South revives it. OF course some bitter
feeling fingers. But the majority of
Northern Republicans will realize more
clearly every month that the only truly
patriotic course, the only statesmanlike
course, and the only strictly constitution
al course was that which the President
adopted. Passion will gradually yield
to reason, and the Republican party, as
body, will be very glad and proud, not
long hence, to be able to point to the
fact that its platform and the letter of
its candidate in 1875 clearly promised
the change of policy which has been eff
fected.
Criticism Of the financial policy of the
Administration will continue, and from
several quarters, until the results ap.
pear. Mr.. Sherman has told us what
he means to do, and believes he can do,
and will have 10 stand or fall as he sue.
ceeds or fails. He will not only have
the hearty good wishes of all friends of
resumption, but their unstinted applause
If he achieves success. And while he
stands as he does to-day, to support him
is matter of the highest public duty.
Something has actually been done to
improve the public service, but those
who believe that more should have done,
and those who believe that nothing should
have been done, will continue to criti-
else. 1t is their right. Still, in this as
in other respects, results only will count.
The criticism will be empty and futile if
the country finds that its public service
is actually improved in fair measure and
with reasonable rapidity. 1t will CEN
sure if there is much promise but slight
performance. So far, neither mistaken
adulation nor hostile criticism has greatly
impaired the opportunity yet remaining
to the Administration to seize and hold
public confidence by fruitful deeds.-N.
Y. Tribune.
