A Gloomy View An intimation
ECKHART MINES, Jan. 4, 1877.


Editor Mining Journal When we
look around all over tins broad land
and behold the number of families
dependent on coal mining for living,
and contemplate the prospects for an
increase in trade for the future, ex-
cept by the ruinous policy of under
mining competing regions, We cannot
help thinking that the future of work
lnslnen looks pretty gloomy. We
have seen the rise and fall Of our
trades-unions, just because there was
too much dependence put upon cers
mony while the Prjncip!e was over
looked. BY that We know that it is
impossible to protect ourselves from
the encroachments Of soulless corpora
tlons. We know that machiaery is
becoming more per ect every dav,
thereby throwing mo e laboring men
out Of employment, who srs constant,
!y coming into competition With each
other for work. Should this cour e
continue, what viii be the result :?
The utter desradation of tn. work
ingmer seems to be inevitable, and
how TO avoid it ought to be the study

While thus engaged in conversation
genial, generous friend came up
whom we will dub Maggins; after e1.
changing the compliments of the sea-
son said he had concluded to enjoy
Christmas regardless of cost or conse-
qnence, and for this purpose his brain
had been working for a week in devils
ing the best method. All the old al
manacs to be found had been ransack-
ed, but the only information gained
was that Christmas came on December
25th. After consulting the various
cyclopaediAs Wsbeters unabridged,
the complete Horse Doctor aud the
Cave Tattler, had settled on DR..
Chase for the last receipt; in fact a
careful Investigation had dsnoustrat-
cd egg nogg and therefore he deter
mined to egg nogg it. He said he
had con6scated second hand wash
boiler, and, after procuring the neces-
sary ingredients, had manufactured a
first class article and forthwith ten.
dersd us pressing invitation to join
him in testing its quality. Without
further discussion We joined. Gather.
ing round tho boiler We drank each
Others health to such an extent that
in short time va found the same
somewhat affected. Auggins propos-
ed toast to
The Frostburg Fire Departmental
independent and thorough organization,
our local pride. M y the Water Company
never go back on them in dry weather.
Responded to by member Of that
organization present who vaxed elo-
quent, but soon grsw hoarse.
Another toast vas drank
The editorial stef of the Cave Tattler.
Responded to by tn. boiler.
At this juncture one Of the company
with owlish gravity pointed to the
heater end inquired what was meant
by having two stoves in the room. He
vas informed there was but one stoyo;
the suggestion was added that the
cause Of his defective vision might be
attributable to the inward working of
egg nogg upon the retins Of his eye.
This solution Of the problem seemed
satisfactory, as his reply was that "the
(hicD heater must be an egg stove
with negg in itr'
Another of the company who stood
leaning against the wall, in lugub-
rious tone asked to be excused that he
might 50 out and fling up. This rsa-
aonable request was immedistsly
granted with the suggestion from
Muggins "to be sure and not get flung
up until he got out"
We moved to vamoss; the question
was put and unanimously adopted,
and we sdiourned sine die. The last
We saw of Muggius, he was turning a
corner some distance off with his
musical powers in full blast. We
caught the words of the song as they
were waited back on the keen frosty
air:
"For the old mans drunk again"
Some of the party went down Main
street to look after fight reported in
progress. They perambulsted as if

A Christmas Story.

WttJLc.
Rumor says that up in Garrett, at
Oakland, the weather was SO cold u
few weeks age that the mercury fell
to twenty degrees below zero; that the
congealing influence of fresh Nor
wester then blowing was SO great that
it frozs, in addition to everything else,
all the whiskey which SO plentifully
abounds in that fortunate locality,
thereby necessarily busting the bar
rels containing the precious fluid, and
as consequence, also busting several
propclstors whose surplu. each was
invested in furnishing that community
with a commodity SO salabls and val
uable.
A few days before Christmas, while
wondering at the mysterious .csion of
the chemicals contained in tha tubs Of
signal service barometer, q familiar
slap on the shoulder caused ue to turn
and we recognized the ceutenance of
an innocent Osklandsr. Upon in
qulrv as to the general welfare of that
community, he confirmed the above
rnmor, intimating that in his opinion
the recent English arctic expedition
would have met with better success in
reaching the North Pole had they
come overland sia Oaklas1; ssid h.
was awful dry as he hadn't had it sp
his nose for nearly tss weeks on &C.
count Of the cold Seather curtailng
the home supply; that he he'd rsasl,-
ed to emigrats and that his friend.
had recommended Frostburg, where
whiskey was as free .s air, as p!enti-
ful as water, while the supply could
be depended on With much more Ger
tainty, especially in dry ucather.
In this particular instance the old
maxim vas reversed for the star of
ampire eastward took its say. He
expressed desire to see our Ecw
County Court House and other public
buildings. We informed him that 80
far es a Court House was concerned,
it was in q condition similar to the one
at Oakland and could only be seen
with the aid of times long and dark
prospective glass" but that it would
afford us pleasure to give him sn in
sight to our most prominent public
buildings.
With this idsa in view we escorted
him to our old city hall on North
Water street, near the Odd Fellows
(old) building. The beautiful design
and architectural finish of this public
building has always been a source Of
pride to our citizens, and pleasant are
the recollections recurring to the
minds of members Of the former Coun-
cllS who met within lts walls on sum
mer evenings, when the single lamp
which adorned the stand never failed
to generate sufficient heat to wilt pa
per collars and nearly cremate our
public servants, Tho impression Its
massive proportions made upon the
mind OF our stranger friend were OBJ
vlouS. Wa entered the basement
story; he enqnlred the use OF the
cells and bars We replled that III
case OF his getting top-ies7y with

usefulness.
