Mr.. STANTON, United States consul
at Barmen, the great mining center of
Rhenish Prussia, has transmitted a re-
port to the state department at Wash
ington on the present condition OF the
working classes. The condition, Mr..
Stanton says, of the laboring classes of
the mines and iron industries is very
distressing, in consequence of the re-
duction of wages and the enforced
wholesale discharge of employees caused
by the depressed conditio II of those in
dustries. Many mines are worked only
four days per week, and the miners IN
an e1ght-hour shaft are scarcely able to
earn enough to supply their individual
necessities. 1t is impossible for work
man to earn more than will support
himself, and therefore every person IN
the family must contribute to the gen
eral fund for its supper

THE Deadwood Pioneer reports the
arrival at Deadwood recently of four
gold bricks, weighing respectively 635
6O-1O2, 594 61-1OO and 573 66-1OO ounces,
aggregating 2,2S1 17-1O0 ounces, and
valued at over $4,000 "This," the
Pioneer says, SIS the result Of about two
weeks run of the Homestake mill only
the plates being cleaned, the mill being
of eighty-stamp capacity. This proper
ty is one that was purchased less than a
year ago for $4,000, the company be-
ing incorporated in San Francisco, with
100000 shares and capital Of SIC, 900,
900. Two assessments were levied to
build the eighty-stamp mill, and no
larger mill exists in any country. The
body Of ore now exposed is practically
inexhaustible for an eighty-stamp mill,
but other mills will soon be erected"

DEATH OF CARDINAL CULLEN

DEATH OF CARDINAL CULLEN.
A Dublin cablegram of Oct. Goth says
Cardinal Paul Cullen, Roman Catholic
archbishop of Dublin, was taken sud-
denly i'll at 2 o'clock this afternoon,
and died at $50 P. NJ. He had been
suffering from delicate health ever since
his return from Rome, where he at
tended the conclave last February.
Last week he presided over a meeting
of the Irish bishops, and directed the
expressions of opinion on the interme-
date education act lately passed by
parliament. On Tuesday last he went
to dine at the Vice Regal lodge in
Phoenix Park with his excellency the
Lord Lieutenant, and on Wednesday he
met the Wears Of the archdiocese of
Dublin at his house, transacting the do
cesar business as usual. Some of the
Wears dined with him at o'clock, his
usual dinner hour, and at $50 he COM
planned Of pains in his ribs and about
the heart. He retired to bed, and pass
ed quiet night, but felt no improve
ment. On Thursday morning DR..
Cruise was called. who pronounced the
malady serious, out had no apprehen-
oAOlI VI 1llIL1 0u1dtt tldllSCl. LIZ e"A-
ranged for consultation with DIR.
Dominick Corrigan, one of the most
skillfnl physicians in Dublin, at 4
o'clock. In an hour the cardinal began
to sink, and sent for his confessor, Father
O'Reily, who heard his confession. Mon
signor Woodlock. rector of the Catholic
University, administered the last sacra-
ment. The cardinal spoke the respon-
ses in the prayers for the dying. and at
the last moment shook hands with his
private secretary, DR.. Finan, with DR..
McCabe, coadjutor bishop of the do
cese, with his confessor, and with Mons.
tWoodlock. He said "good-by," with
out pain, and died at $50 o'clock. At
4 O'Clock, Drs. Cruise and Corrigan ar
rived to find the cardinal dead. @
AS soon as the news of the death
spread through the city the church
bells were tolled, and by O'Clock the
whole city presented a mournful ap-
pearance.

The situation in European Turkey
seems to be again assuming threaten
ing aspect. Russia, instead of with
drawing her troops from Roumelia, IS
reported to be reinforcing them from
Bulgaria. A Russian army corps is
still in position near Constantinople, and
a considerable force is at Adrianople.
In the meantime, the English fleet re-
mains in the Dardanelles, keeping
watch of Russia's movements in the
rear of Constantinople. The trouble
seems to be that the Russian and Turk
ish ambassadors cannot agree as re-
CARDS the defnitive treaty, and That
Russia cannot gain any positive assur-
ances from Turkey that the thousands
of Christian refugees who are now seek
ing the protection of Russia would be
secure from persecution and outrage IN
the event Of the withdrawal of the Rus
sian forces from Roumelia and Bull
garia. The Turkish government is ap-
parently disposed to act deceitfully.

A TEXAS railroad has been exhibiting
specimens of the products of the coun-

collection including 100 varieties of

May to Christmas time; clusters of
grapes fourteen inches long, and over
a hundred different kinds of valuable

The experiment of requiring the reg
istration of third class mail matter, the
postoffice officials regard as likely TO
prove successful. AS yet it is impossible
to definitely calculate the probable in
crease in revenue, as the scheme is still
in its incipiency. There is reason to be-
ieve, however, that great good will be
derived from the operation of the plan.
Already there is marked increase in
the shipment of small packages through
the department, it having the advan-
tage over the express companies of not
charging accommodating rates according
to distance or transfer. No more than
ten cents, III addition to the postage
per weight of package, will be charged
the shipper, that being the uniform fee
for registry. 1t is thought most of the
holiday trade, so far as it relates to
small packages, will be secured, as pa
irons have an assurance of the delivery
Of the article shipped, at a low figure.

feet that their taxes are three times
what they were in 1860 ($7O3,26 to

The Brookfeld On. " Courier re-
ports the following: "Miss Caroline
Babcock, a sister of Mrs. Jordan,
whose sickness we have hitherto re-
ported, died last Wednesday. Her
case was an extremely singular one.
Her limbs had been partially paralyz-
ed for a number of years, rendering
it difficult for her to walk. Some
time in last August, she began to ex-
perience loathing of food, and soon
her stomach became so badly affected
that it could retain food for only a
short time. This condition continued
for about two weeks, when it became
impossible for her to take any thing
except cold water, and that was al
ways emitted from her stomach as
soon as it became warmed. There
were few times during her illness
that she evinced desire for food, but
when it was given her her sense of
taste revolted, and she would be una.
BILE to take it. During the last eight
weeks and four days of her life she
tasted nothing but water, except on
two occasions, once little water-gruel
and once few blackberries, and these
remained on her stomach only few
minutes. How she survived this
length of time without nourishment is
certainly marvellous. The best medi-
cal skill and kindest sympathies of her
friends were powerless to change her
condition, and her friends could but
look on while she literally starved to
death. She suffered but little pain
until the last week or two, when she
suffered severely"

Yesterday the New York Herald, in

the modern wonders effected in over.
coming time in progress through space.
An instance Of this is afforded in the
case of a dispatch from Lahore, dated
December 8, midnight" This dis.
patch was sent down from Lahore
to Bombay; thence transcribed into
and transmitted in cipher-for the
purpose Of condensation--to London,
probably being repeated at least twice
on the way. viz: at Alexandria and
Paris; written out in London, il was
handed over to the London agent Of
the Associated Press. by whom 1t was
once more condensed into cipher and
sent on to New York; there ii was
handed over in cipher to the NewYork
agent Of the Associated Press, was
again written out and was sent on to
Philadelphia; here It was received in
the Western Union Telegraph Office,
