REV. MYEoS W. REED, formerly
Of Milwaukee, now of indianapolis,
delivered a decoration day Grafton,
from which we extract the following
characteristic paragraph. He said ::

THE strike of coal miners is virtu-
ally ended, and the price OF coal was
never before so low rs it is at pres
ent. Our correspondent at Pottsville
informs us that the cost OF mining
aud placing coal in the cars at the
breakers, including the royalty of
80 cents, is only s. cents per ton,
and that it may he delivered at Perth
Amboy at cost OF $2.26 per ton.

ions were thoroughly broken up.

HOW CONKLING SMOKED OUT THE
TRAITORS.

Under date of Washington Nov. % we have
the following account of the great New York
Senator's dealing with the traitors in the Re-
publican camp: Conkling, speaking to-day on
Thurman's motion to amend the journal, said
of Hears motion to table Ghurman's motion
for executive session, that it was no careless
or accidental proceeding. Hoar and others
had considered it, and he (Conkling) lost no
moment in demanding the yeas and nays upon
it for the purpose of putting beyond reach or
recall the motion to table. "My reason"
said Mr.. Conkling, 81 unhesitatingly avow,
was this There had been whispers of new and
strange alliances pending for some time, and
which were yesterday suspected to have RI
pened into observation-disclosures relied upon to
transfer the majority from one side to the
other side of the Senate. l felt it my right
to ascertain, by the earliest method, who were
the allies, the reserves and recruits, and how
many there were 1t seemed to me motion
to lay on the table not being debatable would
produce very early revelation of the coal-
ton and show how it was that the control of
the Senate was to pass away from the major
ity, as heretofore constituted, and, like the
star of empire, westward take its way. asked
for the yeas and nays to the end that this mo-
ton to lay on the table should be voted upon,
and that we should thus know by whose votes
it is that success is hoped for ON the motion
to discharge the committee on privileges and
elections from a case never investigated there
or here, and to bring it here to be carried by
main force-by the force of numbers, when
it had been ascertained somewhere that the
numbers could be procured" Bayard denied
the existence of any alliance; he knew Of none.

THE SITUATION IN THE SENATE.

The InterOcean presents the situation in
the Senate of the United States as follows:
The position is this On Monday Thurman S
resolution, which is practically to admit
Butler, will come up as unfinished business
An attempt will be made to procure prece-
dence of the report of the committee on cleo
tons admitting Kellogg, and the Vice Presi-
dent must then decide which is the matter of
higher privilege If he rules the report, then
an appeal will be taken and Canover and
and Patterson will probably vote with the
Democrats and override the chair. Senator
Cameron will present his report on the inves-
tigation of Buffers record and an attempt
will be made to convince Davis of Illinois that
Butler is not entitled to a seat. The Dem
ocrats are greatly disturbed by the last vote
of Canover, by which the Republicans car
ried an adjournment until Monday, but they
claim to be certain of final success, and the
general opinion is that both recusants will re-
main with the Democrats. Their conduct to-
day should not fail to bring denunciation
from all Republican quarters. 1t is case of
political treachery at a time when, by their
apostacy, the Democrats will be able to con-
troll the whole machine of the legislative
branch of the government They can now
hardly retain middle ground or vote with
the Republicans on any vital question. The
friends of Hamburg Butler are said to be able
to stand between Patterson and the State
prison. If all these attempts fail, as they
probably will, there is nothing left but to
talk till some way of escape is secured. The
Democrats will prevent business so long as
Patterson aud Canover vote with them unless
the Republicans trip them up with some trick.
They rely on Edmonds in this condition of
affairs. An intensely exciting battle was
begun, which has no parallel in the history of
the Senate. The Vice President said this
afternoon: "My vote will be criticised, bnt it
will be approved by the people, whose respect
[ covet. am Republican, and no one ever
knew me to fail in my allegiance to my party. |
By making me Vice President my party |
shelved me four years, but if accident ever
throws it into my power to cast vote in its
interest l shall not hesitate, but will only be
sorry l cannot do more"

AN AFFAIR OF HoNoR.-The Eureka Sentinel
of Thursday has information of difficulty
between couple of sports likely to lead to a
shooting scrape. Indeed, one account was to
the effect that the parties had gone over the
mountain in the direction of the Italian ranch
to settle the matter according to the code.
We have no other particulars on the subject.

By the Bodie Standard of Nov. 21 we are
informed as follows concerning a well-known
citizen: Judge McClinton, we regret to state,
has been lying very i'll at San Francisco for
the past week, but we were informed yester-
day by Mr. Kirgan that he was improving
very rapidly, and would soon be able to start
for home. We wish the Judge speedy re-
covery and safe journey home.

Washington, November Oh The United
States Marshall of Northern Alabama has
been asked to resign, because he bet $500
that Hayes would be elected. The President
thinks such action unbecoming a public Off
Ger. The Democrat who lost the money made
the charge against him.
Let the man of sin be cast out. Selah!

Suspicion sometimes haunts other minds
than those of the guilty. County Treasurer
Robinson of Batavia, Ohio, whose safe was
rifed of $4,000, has been driven insane by
the robbery. His predecessor in Office was a
defaulter, and his own anxiety about the
safety of the public money was increased by
the intense feeling against the old treasurer.
He had morbid fear that the safe would be
robbed, and himself accused of the crime. He
now imagines that he is under suspicion,
which is not the fact.

For stings and poisons, strong solution

For burns, an immediate application of
flour covering the burn and wrapped so as
to exclude the air; then burn lard till it is
quite brown, and apply, and relief and cure
will soon come. Do not wash off the -four
if it clings but put the lard over it.
At night, in extreme warm weather, a
lemon squeezed in tepid water, to sponge of

mother and child. Saleratus is good but

FOhAOwING A TRAIL,


Oneof the most remarkable features Of
uncivilised life is the power savage show
Of tracking men and beasts over immense
distances Many travellers have spoken of
this as something almost miraculous yet it
is only the result Of careful observation of
certain well-known signs; and we have here
before us collection of very common
sense hints on the subject In countries like
ours every trace of footprint or wheel
track on roads and paths is soon obliter-
ated or hopelessly confused; but it is other
wise in the'wilderness, where neither man
nor beast can conceal bis track. In Kaflir-
land, when cattle are. stolen, if. their foot
prints traced to village, the heads
man is held responsible for them, unless he
can show the same track going out. A
wagon-track in new country is practically
indelible. More especially" says our
author, "this is the case if fire sweeps
over the plain Immediately after, or if
wagon passes during or after prairie fire.
We have knowna fellow-travefer to recog-
nize in this manner the tracks his wagon
had made seven years before, the lines of
charred stumps crushed short down re-
naming to Indicate the passage of the
wheels, though all other impressions had
been obliterated by the rank annual growth
Of grass fully twelve feet high" Some
times the original soil being disturbed, a
new vegetation will spring up along the
wagon-track. and thus mark out the road
for miles. Even on hard rock mans |
bare foot will leave the dust caked together
by perspiration, SO that a practiced eye will |
see it; and even if there is no tack, stone
will be disturbed here and there, the side
of the pebble which has long lain next the
ground being turned up.-Chambcrs' Jour-
