A Hot P1AcE.-The Savage incline, at
point near the water, is SO hot as to be almost
beyond human endurance. But for then
shirts the skin of the men would be clustered
as though by jet OF scalding steam. a man
from the mine, who was in DR.. COINS office
Yesterday, showed blister on his arm that
was nearly as large as a mans hand
The blister was caused by exposing his arm
at the bottom of the incline. 1t is so hot
down at the water that in screwlng nut on
the end of bolt one man would be able to
do no more than fasten monkey-wrench
upon it before he would be obliged to retreat.
Another would then descend and give the
wrench two or three turns, when he would
fall back and third man would go down ana
give it few turns. Yesterday morning the
Giraffe got of the track well down IN the
incline, and in trying to replace it one of the
small party of men was so overcome by the
heat that he fell down in state of insensi-
bility. His companions carried him from
point between the 100 and the 190O-foot
| levels to the 170O-foot level of the Hale and
Norcross mine, where he could obtain
mouthful of fresh air. He was still uncon-

Washington, August GA good portion OF
the Presidents message, upon the reassem-
bling of Congress, will be devoted to the con-
sideration of the labor question. 1t is known
that at numerous Cabinet meetings held
within the past two weeks this subject has in
several instances been discussed to the ex-
clusion of all other matters. Several mem
bers of the Cabinet are known to favor the
passage of law providing for the organlza-
ton of commission which shall have due
regard for the interests of all concerned,
producers, merchants, railroad employees
and capitalists, SO that on any question &
fair compromise may be effected. member
| of the Cabinet in recent conversation spoke
of this plan, and argued that Congress had a
right to pass such law under the clause Of
the constitution authorizing that body to reg
ulate commerce with foreign nations and
among the several States and with Indian
tribes. Such commission might be vested
with power to examine into the desirabillty
of chartering new railroads, and might require
certain conditions to be fulfilled, so as to
establish reasonable certainty that the pro-
iected roads would be renumerative and that
the company would have the means to pay
for its construction and thus avoid disastrous
| failures.

A TORNADO N MID ARA few days ago,
on the morning when heavy showers fell here,
a sublime sight WIS discovered by few per-
sons who happened TO be looking to the north
west about o'clock. The blacklist of black
clouds, torn and rugged, were being driven
through the air toward the southeast. They
rolled and tumbled as ocean tornadoes will
disport with the waves, and were evidently
flung like feathers by terrific tornado which
passed over the centre of the village, but too
high up to disturb objects upon the earth.
The trees near the district school-house were
made to bow, but the mad forces were too
far up to exert their full power upon them.
Had the tornado run one hundred feet lower,
it is believed by those who observed it that
buildings would have been demolished in an
instant Of time -Genssss, n. T., R2p~5A-

The signal system in operation on the
Austrian railways is not exceeded III complete
ness by that or any other country. Observa-
ton houses, in which sentinels are stationed,
are built on every mile, and oftener when

clear for one mile ahead the information

kinds Of signals in general use, ono called the
visable, or optical, and one called the audible
During the day time, specific hand signals
are used, and lanterns in the evening. The
disks IN the day time, and red lanterns in the
night, are also sometimes placed in the center
of the track, the disks standing at right
angles with the track To slacken speed, the
siqnaller holds out a red flag horizontally,
facing the train; or he holds out the hand
signal disk, turning its surface toward the
train, bat outside of the track; or he plants
the disk in the ground, at the same place and
in the same position as in the latter case. In
the absence of any flag, the arms are extended,
facing the approaching train. Sound boxes,
or torpedoes, are placed on the track at
night, when no lantern is at hand. When
the road is free and clear, the signaller faces
the track with a red flag round on the pole
or staff, or 8 red signal disk facing the track,
In the night, white lantern is held against
the train.

she called little Angie and asked her to go to
the house OF a neighbor, three-quarters OF a
mile distant, and summon assistance. The
child did as directed in an incredibly short
space of time, and upon her return with the
neighbor it was found necessary to summon
q physician. 1t was now nearly dark, and
storm brewing: yet this brave little heroine
again took the road and went to the nearest
neighbors house, distance of one and
fourth miles in the opposite direction from

claimed to possess the advantage over all 9TH

so that it is not only easy to be worked, but
performs the setting IN quick and correct

relation to this machine, its efficiency is not

THE FUTURE OF AMERICAN Politics.
On behalf of the people of the Union,
who do the voting and have no political
ambitions, we would like to speak a sin.
gle word of warning to the marplots and
the irreconcilables who oppose President
Hayes. We are simply anxious that JUS
tice shall be done in this country, and thai
peace and prosperity may follow as con
sequences. General Grant and his friends
have had eight years in which to accom-
plish the work OF pacifying the South
and haze taiIed. President Hayes ha4 an
nounced and inaugurated another policy
which promises success; and We propose
to stand By him until he has had q tuil
chance. lie is only to have half the time
that was given to General Grant, and he
needs the popular support which we pro
pose to give him. Meantime we propose
to fight and politically kill every man o
you who tries to throw difficulties in his
way. We have no faith in your motives
we have lost all confidence in your wis
dom, we do not believe in your candol
and disinterestedness; we regard you ~
void to patriotism.
The people are tired of discord. They
intend that the policy of the new admins
tralion shall have fair chance. They
want peace. They want reform in the
civil service, for they feel that mercenary
politics have been curse and IL disgrace
to them. They are, at least, not ready tt
join in any crusade against the policy o
the President, until it has had Il fail
chance TO work out its results. Any pol
itician, therefore, in any position, who un
dertakes factious opposition to this pol
icy in its initiatory stage, they will regarC
as a public enemy, on whom they will no
hesitate TO wreak their revenge. 1t will
be a good plan for all the demagogues tc
take II low seat for the present, and keel
their mouths shut, if they have any hop,
of political life in the years to COME

VALUE OF WoMAN'S Work Rev.
Thomas X, Beecher, writing to the Chris
1Gn Union of his camp life in the woods,
gives the following advice:
"All men ought to 60 to the woods and
religiously do their own washing and
general work-such as sewing, cooking,
housekeeping and dish washing. The
work Of women is not spoken of sensibly
by men until they have done it themselves.
Gentlemen readers, it is easy to talk! But
just try it on Il very modest scale once,
and you'll honor working women more
than ever. Do as have done-do a wash
Of six pieces, and then remember that Il
woman turns off two hundred pieces in Il
day. Look at your watch and see how
long it takes you. Look at your soap and
see how much you have used. Look at
your white clothes handkerchief or tow
ely and see what you have done or not
done, and never again speak harshly of
or at II woman or wash day, nor of laun
dry work rs if it were unsklled labor
Fry it. Don't talk. Don't sneer. Try
it. A sympathetic gentleman having
washed two dozen pieces will never change
his shirt again without a glow of rever-
ence and gratitude. She did this. A sim
liar and salutary consciousness will come
to him who darns his own socks, patches
his trowsers, splices his suspenders, and
washes dishes. Look not every man upon
his own things, but every man also upon
the work Of woman. Such an expert
ence in the woods will 60 far toward set
ting the woman question, by teaching us
that we are all members one of another,
and there must be no schism.
