GREAT BRITAIN.

LONDON, Jan. Is. The dissolu-
ton of the Aargan spinning and
weaving company, one Of the most
important cotton concerns in Swift
zerland, was in consequence of the
unsatisfactory results of the past
years working and the general un-
favorableness Of its position.
There has been no communica-
ton yet with the cntombed golfers
in the Dinas mine. Eighty yards
of the roof at the bottom Of the
shaft have fallen sincesthe explosion
occurred, rendering ventilation i'm
possible, and explorers can not en~
ter the mine. Experts say it is
only by the barest possibility that
any of the sixty men can be alive,
and give no hope Of their rescue.
The umpire in the arbitration
concerning the wages dispute in the
Cleveland and north of England,iron
trade decided that the men must
accept a reduction of five per cent.
Several Of the cotton mills at
Nelson, near Burnley, have given
notice of reduction Of wages.
Some of the mills have stopped
altogether. There have also been
some stoppages of mills at Padiham
and Whitefeld.

as, and their subsequent slaughter
by the United States forces. Agreed
to.
Mr.. Allison, of Iowa, from the
Conference Committee on the Mill
tary Academy Appropriation bill,

the redemption Of other bonds bear
ing the highest rate Of interest,
and subject to call. And, provided
further, that whenever from time to
time the proceeds of sales of bonds
shall aggregate three million dol
lars the Secretary of the Treasury
shall issue call for that amount of
bonds to be returned, and the in
terest of the bonds called fer re-
demption shall cease in thirty days
from the date OF such call. And
provided further, that all United
States notes received in the Urea.
sury shall be re-issued and kept in
circulation, without change in the
aggregate amount of the sew
eral denominations existing On the
31st day of May, 1878, and it |
shall not be lawful to issue legal |
tender notes of larger denomina-

LITERARY THEFT

Something of sensation has been created
IN New York literary circles by the publioa-
ton in one of the illustrated weekly papers
OF that city of what purported to be an
original poem by Joaquin Miller. 1t was a
beautiful conceit on woman's hair, and was
universally admired until some one fshed
from an old volume of poems by Miles
OReilley (Col. Charles G.. Halpin) the
identical poem, altered as to few words,
but not improved by the changes. The
poem was published by Col. Halpin over
twenty years ago, before the poet of the
Sierras had ever been heard of in the
literary world. It was entitled "Janette's
Hair but Miller changed it to &C Nanette,' y
and appropriated the rich poetic thought it
contains to his own glory. It's character
may be judged by the first fervent stanza:
"Oh, loosen the snood that you wear, Janette.
Let l, me tangle hand in your hair, my pet,
For the world to me has no daintier sight
Imam your brown hair yelling your shoulder
white.''
That man pretending to the position in
letters that Joaquin Miller claims should
deliberately pilfer the work of another and
endeaVor to palm it off as his own. is not at
all to his credit, and will certainly not en-
nance his reputation. It is singular usage
that places less value upon the work of q
mans brains than upon the work of his
hands. If a man should steal delicately
constructed piece of machinery, built at
Infinite labor by contemporary. he wonld

the Formation of the Fails.
Biologists of high character, says General
G. K. Warren, in the american Journal of
ScSe1ace and Afts; have estimated the age of
the gorge at Niagara Falls on the present
rate of recession, and, though the result is
uncertain, it indicates the origin to be in re-
cent geological times, although anteaating
the historical era. In similar way the time
required by the Mississippi to cut the gorge
from Fort Smelling to the Falls of St. An
thony has been calculated by Prof. A. Il.
Wlnchell, on data that makes 1t vary from
5000 to $4,000 years, by assuming that the
forces in producing this result have
remained uniform during this period.
Since the Falls of st. Anthony
were at the junction of Minnehaha creek,
they have receded six and quarter miles.
The Minnehaha Falls, since that time, have
receded three-ffths of a mile. Both streams
nave cut into the same formation, starting
with the same height of fall. These relative
rates have heen as about 1 to 10. The
proportion of the volumes of the two
streams, Judging by their present drain
age areas, is about as 70 square miles
IS to 2l,60O- square miles, or about as 1 to
300. That is to say, the recession of the
Mlnnehaha Falls has been thirty times
faster than it would have been if proper
toned to the volume. This may be &C
counted for by the greater atmospheric in
huence of the smaller falls, which, examina-
ton shows, keeps ahead of the effect of the
water, forming cave under the fall by the
dropping down of material which the water
then washes away. At the greater falls the
volumes of water almost constantly protects
the rocks from the action of the atmosphere
Hence we must give very considerable in

will be he held at the chamber of commerce
room in st. Paul on Wednesday, January
10th, 1879, at 10 o'clock A. M.

hoped that the coming meeting will be
larger than any previous one.
NEW BUSINESS.
But few suggestions have thus far been
made of subjects for discussion under the
head of "new business but it is expected
that each member will propose such ques-
lions as he desires discussed and acted upon.
Attention is invited to the following:
l. How can local news best be gathered
in by country editors-by paid correspond
ents or otherwise?
2. Would not the offer for sale or ex-
change Of such printing materials as pub
fishers wish to dispose Of be desirable at
our annual meetings?
8. Should the Legislature again be re-
qu gu to repeal the law giving newspapers
$4,000 exemption?
4. Have the recommendations of the
last meeting as to prices for advertising,
etc., been adhered to, and with what sue
cess?
other questions will probably be brought
up at the coming meeting, and it is hoped
that every editor and publisher in the State
will avail himself of this opportunity for

The Saltwater Lumbernsa7a endorses Rev.
Kerr's billingsgate as full vindication of
the Insane Asylum thieves and murderers.
This is natural. The Lun6e,maa is the
local organ of another rotten institution
the State Prison. When that is ventilated
and the cruelty, murder and robbery is fully
proven, it will only be necessary for the ring
to deny the truth of the evidence, and the
ring organs will shout that it is "a complete
vindication.'' If every offender who denied
his guilt was allowed to go free there would
not be much occasion for such institutions
as that which fourishes at Saltwater.

The final results of the combination of
railroad companies against the Western I'm

stations from which it's most lucrative
business is derived. But the New York
Central, with it's connections, is favora-
Die to the Western Union, because of the
interests of the Vanderbilt family in the
stock OF the telegraph company. While this
AIDS IN strengthening the hold of the tele-
graph company, it is source of jealousy
among the officers of other railroad COM
panles. There is feeling among the officials
OF all other great trunk lines that they have
been made the tools and agents of the Van
derbllt interest. The recent United States
supreme court decision gave opportunity for
the combination to act. It is thought it
Is the Intention of the originators of the new
movement to organize company in which
all the trunk railroad lines, with the excep-
ton OF the New York Central, are to take
stock. Messages are to be sent at about one
third the present price. Press messages,
especially, are to be transmitted at
very low rates. It is supposed that, with
! the wires and poles now owned by
the railroad companies, not more than
91,ooo'ooo will be required to supply the
additional wires and poles necessary. 1t is
understood IN legal circles that the leasing
OF the lines of the Union Pacific and Cen
trai tactic was an illegal act, because, IN
oef thelr charters, these companies are re-
qulrea to maintain Geographic lines for the
dement, OF the community, and cannot grant
speclal privileges to any individual or cor
poratlon. They are required, also to receive
ana transmlt commercial messages on equal
terms for all parties. The necessary com
mlttee for the organization of the company
IS already arranged, and the 100000 will
be forthcoming. The programme of the
new company will be cheap telegraphy and
the breaking up of the monopolies connect

mat the final result of the new movement
VIII be to make telegraphy in the United
states as cheap as IN England.
