HARD TIMES IN ENGLAND.

The United States doesn't enjoy a
monopoly of hard times" by any
means. The financial distress in
England is greater now than in this
country, and the trouble is, there is
very little hope for the future. The
causes which operate to bring
hard times, appear to be permanent,
The farmers OF that country are
brought into competition with
American farmers, and the result
will be unfavorable to the former.
Land there is rated at three hun
dred dollars per acre, while here
equally as good land, well improved,
may be had for twenty. A few
years ago pork was sold by English
farmers at 10 to II cents.
Now American pork is being laid
down at Liverpool for 81. We
are supplying Queen Victoria sub
jects with a large proportion of the
beef they consume. Their grain
market is being interfered with in
the same way. The result is, the
English farmers are being driven
out of their own markets.
The same be said of manufacto-
ries. Articles that we purchased
exclusively in England few years
ago are being manufactured athOme
now, and American manufacturers
are actually supplying the English
markets. We are making use of
our own resources and becoming
every year more and more indie
pendent of Europe. Take the
watch trade. A few yaars ago
matchmaking was a thing unknown
on this side Of the Atlantic. Now
we make better and cheaper watches
than any country in the world.
If we cease to have occasion to
trade with England, cease to pat
rOnize English manufacturers and
produce what we consume; and if
We go into other markets of the
world and compete with English
producers, with the advantages all
in our favor, how is business to
revive in England Does it not
-Ook ike the present stagnation in
trade, which is productive of so
much distress in European countries
is to continue -? We will not be !
surprised at any time to see Eng |
land enacting protective tariff laws
for the benefit of her farmers and |
What is said of |
England applies to other European
countries. Hard times prevail else
where, and as one of the results,
We expect to see during the next
gear, an unusually large influx of
immigration to this country. This
appears to De the easiest way to |
escape their difficulties. /

Two young men loved the same lass
in Undertook, N. Y; one was accepted
and the other rejected; and the unsuc-
cessful suitor challenged his rival to
duel with pistols. which was fought last
Sunday afternoon under the trees on the
Wild farm. There were two seconds.
Tho ground was duly paced off, and the
rivals. with faces pale as death, were
placed in position, when the discarded
lover demanded Q parley. The seconds
looked at the other man. A tumultu-
Gus struggle was raging in his breast.
To die was not pleasant trick and there
was many . girl in the world. While
these thoughts flashed through his brain
the courage of his opponent was rapidly
ooziag out at his finger ends. and, sim.
ultaneously. they cast down their weap.
ons. and, to the intense surprise and DIS
gus. OF the waiting seconds, rushed upon
saoh other. A short, sharp struggle fol.
lowed. and at it's close the disappointed
swain lay with bleeding nose at the
ieet OF his foe, who demanded the i'm
mediate surrender OF all claim to the
beautiful cause Of the strife. The jealous
soul surrendered. and the victorious
lover went homo to his bread and cheese
and kisses.-fNew York Tribune.

A writer in the San Francisco Call
thus describes the famous Cerro de Pasco
silver mines Of Peru:
The world-famous Cerro do Pasco
silver mines in Peru at the intersection
of two immense mineral lodes in the
Province OF Junin, ono running through
the Cordilleras in northeasterly direc-
tion, and the other through spur OF the
aame range, with northwesterly trend.
The ore body averages over seven-eights
OF mile wide by one mile and q half in
length. is of irregular shape and unknown
depth. The mining done by the Span
iards and Peruvians has all been in the
surface deposit, and really amounts TO
nothing more than prospecting in these
days. The deepest shaft is only $50 feet
below the surface, and has been sunk
through the deoomposed rock forming
the surface ore. The shafts vary in
actual depth from the surface. which is
water level. The unstable character of
the formation in which these shafts we're
worked. caused many accidents, and
working in the old Spanish mines of
Cerro de Pasco was decidedly dangerous
occupation. The surface to-day is honey
combed with deep and extensive sinks Of
tagos, where the mines have fallen in,
and many a miners bones are entombsd
in these great sepulcheEs. Tho most
terrible of these accidents occurred In
ITO, when 300 persons were buried
alive beneath the roof Of mine through
the giving way Of the supporting timbers.
All the top deposit in this district of q
square mile is what miners call pay dirt
that 10. it is decomposed rock, contain
ing free mining ore that averages $40 to
$45 per ton. The ore remaining in this
surface deposit of decomposed rock is
sufficient in quantity to run all the mills
in Nevada at their full capacity for $50
years. Below the depths to which the
Spanish miners worked their shafts, the
diamond drill has been used to prospect
the mines. The rock is hard and uni
form in character. averaging about $3.50
to the ton in the assaying. Pockets uro
frequently struck yielding ore that CON
tains from so TO 80 per cent Of silver.
