AN UNSTABLE TOWN.

The people of the little mining town o1
Mahanoy Place, Pennsylvania live in a
condition of great uncertainty. When
they wrap the mantle of sleep around
themselves at night they never can just
exactly tell where they will find them.
selves in the morning. 1t is no unu ual
thing for man to go to bed in his little
cottage, situated on lot forty by one
hundred feet, and wake up in the morn
ing one hundred and fifty or two hun
dred feet lower in the world. Mahanoy
Place is in fact undermined, or honey
combed by the extensive collieries in the
neighborhood. The public highway or
main street through the town stopped
going anywhere where men care about
going, few days ago, and plunged into
the bowels of the earth. The lost end of
it has not yet been found, although the
citizens have been looking for it with
lanterns. Several pair of rural lovers
who happened to be out incoming around
the front gate, or chewing gum under the
apple tree in the front yard on that eve
ming slid out about that time, and are
supposed, by their fond and anxious
parents, to have slid down the falling
road to subterranean bliss and future
state, when the fact is the young folks
had only gone over into another county
and got married.
This loss of young people and corner
lots and private dwellings has become so
frequent as to be monotonous and annoy
ing to citizens of Mahanoy Place, Pa, and
they have repeatedly applied to the
Courts for relief and protection. Injunc-
tion after injunction has been granted to
restrain the owners of the collieries in the
vicinity from undermining the town, but
for some reason or other, probably because
injunctions don't take good hold three
or four hundred feet below the Courts
that issue them-the owners of these COL
lieries keep on digging and undermining,
and the land owners and citizens of the
little burg keep OH going out of sight and
losing their hold of substantial things.

ment. The hour for Democratic despair, il
there was ever one, was long ago. This is

Democratic hopelessness The party that
has survived several wars, and that has en-
larged our territory and our glory, and that
still clings to the glory and exaltation Of
the individual, rather than of q
Governmental power over the indi.
vidual, is party still young. We had q
large majority of the Electoral votes of the
States and large majority Of the votes OF
the people in 1875. We believe that we
shall have still larger majority of both in
1880, for we have faith in the people. The
Democratic principle is the only idea upon
which the Republic can endure.-Now that
the Cincinnati Southern Railroad is COM
pleted, and everybody in a dozen States
who wants to go to any point South will
find it desirable, If not necessary, to pass
through Cincinnati, perhaps somebody
who has power to act will arise to the I'M
portance of Union Depot.
The German Papers
The Volksfreund says: Tilden has not
given it up.-Bayard's boom still hangs
on.-Grants nomination is as much as
tixed.-The Democratic National Conven-
ton should be held in Cincinnatl.-The
Gazette has no enthusiasm for Grant-The
celebration of the opening of the Southern
Railroad will, in all probability, be a
grand affair.
The Volksblatt says: The defeat of
Cincinnati in the ballotingfor the
place of holding the Republican Ma
tional Convention should serve as q
warning. TIE mistake that brought on
the defeat should not be repeated. This
mistake was due to a want Of proper or
ganization, and nothing else.
The Freie Presse says: General Youngs
scalping knife has still made no acquaint-
ance with Postmaster Loge's official scalp.
The knife perhaps is too dull.-Yesterday's
Enquirer gives Mr.. J. W. Fitzgerald his
dismissal from the Democratic party. The
position of Chief of Police is still a begging.
The Commissioners can find no one who is
ready to commit political suicide.

N0N-PARTIsAN NEWSPAPERS,

Less and less each year are the purely
party and sectarian journals holding
their influence over the reading public
Less and less are they proving to be the
leaders in giving tone to public santi
ment. The trouble is that these "organs'
are constantly seeking to restrict the field
tof human thought to few dogmas that
make up party creed, while the indie.
pendent press sheds its light impsrtially
upon every subject of human interest.
The time is past for attempting success
fully to lead public opinion in fixed di-
rection by any other means than by edu-
eating the public mind.
The newspaper that proposes to direct
the people in the devious ways of party
politics, or that assumes TO be spiritual
guide, must make its claim good by
superior wisdom and an ability to COM
bat all antagonistic doctrines. With the
people of this generation there can be no
halfway work. They are too intelligent
to be treated like infants taking their
first lesson.
They take nothing for granted. They
judge even the traditions of their fathers
by the light of to-day's facts. If GER
tain theory reduced to practice has pro-
duced good results; if it has made frmer
the foundations of civil government; if it
has softened the rigors of sectarianism
and made man kindly and congenial to-
wards his fellow man; if liberation in re-
ligion and harmony in social and politi-
cal relations has followed, it is idle for
any men in any conceivable capacity
they may assume or in any professional
garb they may clothe themselves to at
tempt to convince the public that said
theory is all wrong and that truth and
safety only is to be found in its 1oppo-
site.
Hence it is that the non-party and
non-sectarian journals of the civilized
world are growing into power and in
fuence. In all secular matters they are
at least the true teachers-the only safe
guides-intelligent and impartial. They
recognize the fact that the human intel
lect is capable Of progression, that the

make Manchester practically shipping
port almost equal to Liverpool. The es-
timated cost of its construction is ST.
100000, and the revenues which
would arise from its use are esti-
mated to be sufficient to afford
a liberal percentage on. this large
outlay. The French Government has a
project of similar character under con-
sideration, which proposes the improve
ment of the Seine and the uniting of
Paris with Havre by ship canal capable
of admitting class Of vessels of deeper
draught than is possible to get over the
bar at the mouth of the Mersey. The
talk of the French project for creating a
seaport of Paris was under serious con-
sideration by Napoleon about the time
that the German war broke out,
and except for that untoward event
would doubtless be now completed, or at
least nearing completion. 1t is sad to
reflect how much blood and treasure that
and other military operations and prepa-
tions in France and the different CONT
mental States of Europe have cost, that if
expended in these peaceful enterprises
would have added to instead of proving
destructive to the comfort and happiness
of mankind. The ship canal across the
Isthmus of Darien or Nicaragua is, more
over, French scheme, and if it goes for
ward the credit will properly belong to
the French by setting it on foot at this
time. The world appears to be entering
upon great schemes everywhere, and our
own country must not be slumbering
much longer.

4 Too-OBEDIENr ZULU.-One day, a
friend of mine was visiting the Botanical
Gardens at Durham in Natal, South ATM
ca. He rode to the top Of beautiful
range Of hills. and there he had the pleas
ure of finding fine garden well stocked
with foreign trees and plants.
Hearing angry voices, the visitor wait
ed till the manager appeared, very hot
and troubled, and making apology for
the "hard words.
1T would have made Job mad said
he. Il had succeeded in growing fine
set of vines, bearing twenty-six different
kinds Of grapes wished 10 find out
which kind would best suit the Natal eli
mate, but feared the birds might get
ahead of me. So | had some muslin
bags made and told Zulu servant to tie
up bunch in every. bag. Just now, l
met him trundling a wheelbarrow loaded
with muslin bags stuffed with grapes.
He had cut off all the punches first, and
then tied them up in the bags.
That was provoking, but still the Zulu
had been obedient,-Perhaps too obe-
