Mr.. O'ROurke StaieS Why He
Leaves Us.

Mr.. Editor Il write to inform the
inhabitants of this community that |
an about to leave for parts unknown
even to myself. | have been in the
employ Of the c. c. c. since March 4,
1874, but when | went for my tools
this spring | was told that my services
were no longer required.
I don't dispute the right Of the
company, or their agent, to discharge
me, but their right to belle and Willy
me I do dispute. Their reasons for
discharging me are as follows. First,
because l protested against being
robbed Of my weight, and denounced
frauds Of that description at miners
meetings. Second, because / would
not add sacriIego to SIN by swearing
false oath N order that the company
might be exonerated from all blame
at the time Lewis and his unfortunate
companion were killed.
Last week | met Mr.. Meyer, Presi
dent of the c. c. c., in Cumberland,
and inquired Of hin if lie gave orders
to his Superintendent that he must
not employ nae. He asked my name,
and when I told him he SAID yes. "
/ inquired his reason for SO doing. He
sold me plainly that from what he
was told by his superintendent and
others that neither life nor property

OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
Wanted-A Fire Engine.

Mr.. Editor We understand that
the Mayor and Council intend pur-
chasing a fire engine, and would like
to say through your columns that in
our Judgment they cannot do anything
better, as there are a great many reo-
pie inside the corporate limits VINO
have no protection whatever, and
some Of them own very valuable
properties. With our present fire
apparatus we can only use eight humid
red feet Of hose, for if more were
used they would burst; but had we
an engine we could place it one thou
sand feet from the plug, run the water
into it and then force it through i've
hundred more feet TO the fire. Thus,
instead of eight hundred feet We
could work effectively at fifteen hum
bred feet from the plug.
There is still another consideration.
In cases where this will not reach the
fire, we can use our suction hose in
any we'll or cistern III the vicinity,
Had we possessed such an engine
within the last few months we could
have saved many times the price Of it.
Yours respectfully, +, Ed.

EARLY OLosINe.-The Frostburg MIN
ING JOURNAL quotes from TIE Comet To-
cal recently published in reference to the
early closing of stores during the summer
months, and commencing what Tie COM
ct said about the matter, says 1t apphes
lust as well to Frostburg. There has been
no movement yet looking to that end IN
St. Michsels where the stores keep open
until midnight In Eastou, the matter IS
still agitated, but nothing practical has
been done One trouble is if the stores
were shut up at shutdown, some persons
would be deprived of their accustomed
places of resort and might indeed be driy-
en- to spending their evenings i'll the bosoms
of their families. About the only use of n
store open at night is rs a loating place
for people who do not like to stay at home.
All purchases can be made-all business
can be done-in the daytime. We hope
the Frostburg JOURNAL will keep hammer
ing away at this thing.-St. Michaels Com
81.
The JOURNAL has so often "ham-
mered away at this thing" that there
is little left unsaid. Between lit
tie backwardness on the part of
the statesmen and a little con-
trariness on the part of few
merchants, our advocacy Of early
closing has been fruitless of good re-
suits, except 30 far as it has shown up
the enormity of mercantile serfdom
in lights not before apparent. Quit
ting the retrospect, therefore, we are
content to quote arguments from the
Comet better conceived and expressed
than ours.
WE are generally chary of publish
ing communications of a personal
character, but Mr.. O'Rourke's letter
presents some features involving q
matter of considerable import in these
times, If the statements he sets forth
are true, as they are, doubtless the
Consolidation coal company occupies
in his case an unenviable position
No company can afford to intlict petty
revenges. Deriving all their powers
and privileges from the people, and
resting under their protection; they
ought to be polite enough to hold
themselves far above an attitude often,
sive to the authority which creates
and sustains them. Beyond this they
ought to be magnanimous, generous
in word, blind, to the antagonism:
which beset them-so blind certainly
as not to resent iLlpeac hnent8 OF their
conduct and management. " ueu
they do 80 the dispasslonate spectator
is inclined to believe there is much
in the charges against them, and this
impression becomes contagious. AND
if there is q private but thorough COM
bination OF companies against Mr.
o'Rourlze's employment in this region
the compact reaches the altitude Of q
consolidated tyrIany the dilAel4.oua G
which none of them measure truly.
We do not argue that companies
should not employ whom they like
But we do say that discharges from
employment should be carefully
based on grounds the company can
fearlessly and invinclbly stand upon
when the attention of the public is
called to look upon the premises.

IT would be the really graceful
thing for these Councilmen who are
convinced Of their error in repeating
the COW ordinance TO come out boldly
and re-enact it. This is moral grand
eur, and it is the highest svaveslnan-
ship. 70 stick to a demonstrated
vrong simply because once We hun
1iedly committed ourselves to it AZ
CUES Weakness. The really strong
1naD Is always open 10 and ready 70
act upon conviction. He IS more will
ing to undo a wrong than TO commit
one to repair al injury than to iufict
it. On this point We fear cur couu-
ellis conception Of her isIa is a misua-
ken one. 1t is not as brave TO adhere
to d false position as 1t Is to abandon
it. Why? Because there is absolute
ly no virtue, in obstinate ale glance
to an error either Of the head or heart.
The first and loftiest quality of refor-
nation is that which not only ao-
knowledges, but forsakes the mistakes
Of the past.
We learn that in this matter the
Council acted upon petitions matte 10
Ue2,. predecessors. If this be true their
actionis wholly without precedent and
OF itself a grievous wrong to those
who are opposed to the repeal. And
the fact is, no petition has been made
to tie present Council at all. If so,
it was made before it came into exis-
tenco and we cannot conceive of an
application Of any Li4d 10 body
which does not exist
Yet this prayer, made to the last
council and set aside as ineApedient,
is taken up by this council to whom
it was not made, and granted with
out reference 10 d committee, or JAo
slightest warning TO public who
might be az much opposed to it this
year as they were in favor Of it last.
No other argument ought to be
needed to induce the Council to look
into tins matter in its proper light,
and act thereon to the end that all

oNlATDn AtlJuIt a Gun
Mr.. j. ID. Perkins, of McNairy
county, has trained a turkey gobler
named "Peep." Whenever Mr. Per-
kins wants wild turkey for his table
he saddles his horse, puts a pad on the
horses back behind the saddle, mounts,
and calls for peep" The turkey re-
spends to the call by flying upon the
pad prepared FOR him, where he stands
until his master reaches the desired
spot in the woods and takes him off.
If he leaves his horse, "Peep" sits on
the pad until his masters return,
When taken off he gets out in front
of the log behind which Mr.. Perkins
lies concealed, and gobbles and struts
until every hen in the country is wild
with admiration and every gobler
burning up with envy and jealo us
rage. He entertains the hens while
Mr.. Perkins kills the goblers. Tie
goblers are sometimes so enraged at
peep" that they fight him all around
MIR. Perkins like tame turkeys, and
be kills them at his leisure.
Mr.. Perkins says he has been offer,
ed fifty dollars in gold for "Peep,
which he thought very small sum
in comparison to his value. He is
training young gobler in anticipa-
ton of "Peep's" demise.

AS Trezevant has not been repre-
sented in the columns of your excel
lent paper for some time, and think
ing that We deserve representation,
we take this opportunity TO write you
few items. Our merchants are kept
busy all the time In attending to the
large chicken trade that comes to this
place, besides other trade that is very
good for this time OF the gear. We
noticed several bales of cotton on the
street yesterday, which was sold at
good price.
The farmers are bnsy thrashing
wheat, which is turning out very
poor. Some estimate that it is turn
ing out about one fourth Of an ever
age crop.
Owing to the number Of visitors
present at the closing exercises of the
school at this place, eur town has been
quite lively for the past week. The
examination commenced Tuesday, and
continued through Wednesday. The
classes generally stood a most perfect
examination, and all present were
highly satisfied with the result Of the
labors of Prof. Allen, the principal of
the school, and Miss Mayo, his ac>
complished assistant. An exhibition
was given Thursday night by the
school, which consisted in dialogues,
charades, sketches, and music. The
scholars carried their parts very
well. And the large crowd seemed to
appreciate the affair very much. A
calisthenics exercise was given Friday
night, the proceeds of which 90 to-
wards furnishing the institute with
seats, etc. Itwas a great success, every
one present were highly entertained.
By request the calisthenics exercise
was repeated Monday night.
Among the number of visitors
present, there were from Milan,
Misses Cora and Bette Moore,
Maud Dickinson, Messrs i. w.
Deshong, Billie Bigham, Bill Rhodes,
George Ray, Gran Burrow, and last
but by no means least, John Wealth
erford. We hope that they spent n
pleasant time among US, and that it
may not be long before we will again
see them in our town. There is a GER
tain druggist in town that says, there
is Moore attraction in Milan than he
ever thought there was.

her vacation abroad. We in common
with her many friends at this place,

DIR. Armstrong, an eminent divine Of
Norfolk, Va, who was in attendance
at the General Assembly, recently
held at Knoxville, stopped off at
Union Depot on his return home, for
the purpose of visiting Morrell's
Cave, in Sullivan county. On arriv-
ing at the place he proceeded to ex-
plore, torch in hand, the dark recesses
of its natural apartments, drinking in
the wondrous works Of nature as pic
tured to his view. But, unfortunate
ly for him, his light went out and,
having no matches and no guide being
near at hand, he was lett in a deplor-
able condition. He remained in the
cave for twenty-four hours, wrapped
in Egyptian darkness, before he was
discovered by the citizens, most of
which time was spentin anxious prayer
for his deliverence.

The Peace Congress now in session
is destined to be the most important
for the past century. Turkey in Eu-
rope viii doubtless cease to exist,
while Bulgaria and other provinces
will either be formed into one or nu>
merous independent governments,
and from out of the ruin of Turkey,
Greece will again spring into a great
power in the Southeast of Europe.
There have not many years passed by
since upon ihe rims # ancient Rome
another and equally great Rome
sprung into life. So it may be that
upon the wreck of ancient Greece a
greater may arise. There will doubt
less he an entire revision of the map
Of Europe.
