Tie Mnle Strike.

Once more was mule. He had q
pair of timber legs and heels at the end
of them. Mule thought his master did
not give him enough corn to eat. So,
OIL day as the boss was passing behind
him, he lifted up his heels aud boosted
him to the other side Of the barn. This
is what Mr.. Mule called a strike. He
thought he could get all the corn he
wanted now.
Presently he wanted water. He
didn't get it, though. He wanted more
corn. He didn't get that. He went TO
bed that night without any supper.
Next day he didn't have to work; hp
didn't have to eat either. He didn't
have any company. All he had to do
was to stand s'ill ana think. He
couldn't imagine why that master Ut
his didn't come to feed him. The next
day was the same, and the next.
Before that mule got anything to eat
again, be had grown so gaunt and gem
tie that he was willing to keep his heels
on the ground. The strike was ended

How the Present Pope was Elected.

1t was only by mishap that Cardln.
oil Masti- Ferretti attained the triple
crown at all. The popular candidate
was Cardinal Glzzi, and the most pow
erful man in the college itself was Gar.
dinal Lambruschini. Masti- -Ferretti
was only Ole of crowd, and in the
first ballot he hardly seemed to be In the
running. LambrusChini had the high
est number Of votes, and everything
seemed to mark him out as the future
pope. But there's many a slip 'twixt
the cup and the lip even conclave ,and
the Italians have proverb that, Ia
these contests, the favOrite never wins.
He did not in this case. In the second
and third ballots Masti- Ferrettl came
more and more distinctly to the front,
Gizzi disappeared from the lists, and
Lambruschini fell hopelessly into the
rear. But IL Lambruschini could
only have kept open the conclave few
hours longer he might have displaced
his rival, and perhaps have placed the
tiara upon his own brows, or, IL not
there, might at least have placed 1t up

the court of Austria on account of his

Vienna with veto In his pocket against
the archbishop of Imola, and with card
inals enough In his train to turn the
scale in favor of the Genoese cardinal.
The veto arrived a few hours too late,
and the tagging cardinals, entering the
Holy city the day after the fair, found

an attempt to elevate the standard OF

This is as it should be, for there is no

the parties may be otherwise well quail

There should be revision Of all the
certificates granted with view Of ascer,

received and for years, perhaps, acted in
the capacity OF school teachers, have ad'
vanced any in their qualifications. From
those who have not made such
advance as will enable them to gil the

FROM MARYLAND,
DEER PARK, Nd, July 20, $50 p. NJ.
It Is doubtful whether the railroad
company has made any substantial pro-
gress to-day, although the officials have
worked nobly and we'll. The freight
trains, under guard Of the soldiers, were
moved from Martinsburg only to be stop
ped and remain unnamed at Sir Johns
Run and Cumberland. At the former
point soldiers came to the relcue, but at
Cumberland no aid is rendered, as Gen.
French says his soldiers can only operate
in West Virginia. Fully 500 men sur.
rounded the depot at Cumberland. The
engineer and fireman abandoned their
post aud eighteen freight trains are on
side tracks. The strikers say they will
not let them 90. The most important
point now is Cumberland.
At Keyser and Piedmont the whole
population is out and it is said hundreds
OF miners are ready 10 cooperate with
the railroad strikers. Soldiers are at
KeYser, but trouble il brewing. There
were four cara in the soldier train to. day;
two soldiers sat on thefront of the engine
and three in the engine with the fireman.
The frat and second cars were filled with
soldiers with their guns pointing from
windows roady for action. At Sir Johns
Run three hundred canal strikers Joined
the railroaders. The engineer.and fire.
man were dragged from the train and the
train robbed of couplings aud bolts.
At all points along the line the strikers
receive every possible encouragement
from all classes Of citizens. | fear that
the trouble instead OF being ended is only
just begun, as thestrikers are desperately
determined and ready for any emergency.
Several arrests have been made at differ.
ent points, but the strikers are immedi.
ately bailed out. At almost every sta.
ton hundreds Of eager faces greet the
passenger trains, and the strikers freely
converse on the topic Of the day. 1t is
said that committee representing the
strikers will tomorrow propose com.

DIN Guilty.

Our telegraph dispatch from Deer
Park, it will Ia seen, puts a new feature
on the railroad dilEiculty-opeus up the
situation to an entirely new phase. 1t is
more than likely that our reporter is cor.
rect in his impression that the difficulty
is but fairly commenced.
Notwithstanding the report Of Colonel
Delaplain to the effect that the back bone
Of the rebellion Is broken and that things
would be all right In day or two, there
Seems to be point which Col. Dslaplain
and his military conierrees have entirely
overlooked until the emergency was upon
them in full force. 1t is the fact that the
United States troops are operating under
the call oithe Governor Of West Virginia
and whatever they do in the matter Of
suppres'ing the demonstration Of the
striking trainmen must be done within
the meles and bounds Of West Virginia.
Unfortunately the line Of the Baltimore
4 Ohio Railroad runs through the
State Of Maryland and IA the Governor
Of that State had not called upon the
President for military aid in protecting
the interests Of the Baltimore Company,
the soldiers Of the United States dare
not set foot upon the soil Of that State
for the suppression Of any disturbance
therein until so ordered by the President
at the instance Of the Governor Of Mary.

therefore have to make, in the language
Of Mrs. Chick, an effort or inform

that he has no force at his command SUI.

course, the troops would be ordered into
the State Of Maryland. Whether the
Governor Of Maryland will choose to try
his hand unaided by the forces Of the
United States, in wrestling with the pres.
ent emergency, remains to be developed
In any event there will be some delay,
and at 50 critical a jnncture, delay

ing to Cumberland in great numbers but
they are also joined in large force by men
from the Cumberland mining region.
The people, too, in all the region round
about are becoming active in their sym.
pathy with the strikers, and are encOur.
aging them in every possible manner,
Added to these things is the fact that
the strike is spreading to all the trunk
lines and their principal branches, which
will tend to stifTen the strike at all points
and 10 increase its violence. We await
with anxiety further developments.
