tits fearful to think that during the

$48,0OO,0OO worth of property de-
stroyed in the United States, by the
explosion Of kerosene or coal-oil lamps;
yet the destruction of property is moth
ing compared to the loss Of life. No

THz AAegamsas charges the JOUR-
NAL and the News with "a little at
tempt to make capital out of discour-
tssies" offered that paper at several OF
the miners meetings. So far as the
JOURNAL is affected, our contempora-
~ is mistaken. We have no occasion
t. make capital" at the expense OF
eur neighbors. Our purpose in one
instance was to tell graphic story Of
q real comedy in the second to give
mere mention of matter of fact. If
the Alleganiom is unfortunate, it has
incurred the situation through no NAL
ice or displeasure Of ours.
A NEW PER1oD-Referring to a
serial lately concluded in the Ne'Os
the Allega'aian says:
The "Reveriss Of a Bachelor" is generally
very popular book to most young men
when passing through the veal period.
The entire controversy in this case
revolves on the term, veal" Ella
borated, it means - calf calf NEE
(or meat) for tho table" Ray,
writer nearly obsolete, ikens yea
to "a Scotch runt without horns" ant

ppzzlss the common mind to under
stand just when young man may b
50 tonsits through the era Of bovine
juvenescsnce.
Tn PRosPEcT.-The practical set
lem ent of the Presidential question
the lew stocks of Frostburg anc
Georges Greek coal in market, the in
clination Of the companies to pay s;
cents for mining, and their sn1iet,
to send coal forward, are almost infal
idle indications of the beginning o

average Of other industries, all O.

having become exhausted, the revival
Of confidence stimulates new and in
cressing demands. There seems te
be no real occasion for dependency;
indeed, the prospect for q successful
season Of work is brighter than for
several years past.

would appear from fact mentioned
by the Republican. The managers of
Boston soup-house attached to their
premises wood yard and gave notice
that no rations would be issued to
able bodied men who would not saw
a certain reasonable amount of wood.
The number at once fell off from l6O
to 40. Miss Mulock, the celebrated
English authoress, in late work en-
titled Lay Sermons, insists that the
only real way of helping the poor is to
give them work, except in cases OF
manifest helplessness. She mentions
the case of benefcent lady of Lon
don who has accomplished more for
the relief of the poor than any other
individual in that city, and who said
that in all that time she had never
given away quarter of dollar,
Her plan was to find the poor means
of helping themselves. OF course,
in such exceptional times as these,
when there are multitudes out of en-
ployment who ask for nothing better
than to obtain work, there must be
liberal contributions of money to save
them from starvation and cold, but
as general rule relief societies should
be organized on the principle Of dis
tribution of supplies to those who can
not help themselves and of timely and
fitting employment to those who can,
thereby securing to them food and
clothing and preserving and strength
ening their self respect.
