Nobody to Blame.

The fiddles were creaking, the dam sells were signing, and the blue.shirted swains were smelling unto heaven with the fumes of California whisky, when suddenly there was row, most dread full TOW, on American Flat. Miner Nit chell, who was on one side of a quadrille set, noticed that Miner Clarkson, at the other, was whispering to the couple op- poslte. Miner Mitchell suspected that it was conspiracy on the part of the
 two side couples to dance the first
 figures in advance of the end couples.
 He resolved to assert his rights, and as soon as the music struck up and the order was given to "for'ard and back " he broke for the centre of the floor. All the dancers in his set did the same, and the result was that there was violent collision. Miner Clarkson suddenly hauled off and hit Miner Mitchell in the eye. The fight then became general, and after a lively scene the dancers agreed to meet at the police court in Virginia City and argue the case. Miner Mitchell dumped the Bible and made solemn oath that he was an end man.
 Miner Clarkson retorted that according to the rules ofthe dance the two head couples always danced as the cracks oi the floor ran. He had started to dance as designated by the cracks, and knew he was right. The magistrate called for the fiddler, and ascerta1ned that when there were no cracks in sight, the rule was to dance toward the music, and af everybody had done this there was nc side couples, and nobody was to blame,

Women in COaIpits.

The Belgian auth critics have not yet recognized the advisability of prohib- iting the employment of women and girls under the ground, although public opinion has done good deal to dis courage this degrading practice. In 1868 in the colleries of the province of Liege were employed $40 females out of total number of 15,686. In 1877 the number were, above ground, 1,O86 women above fifteen years of age, and 321 girls under fifteen; underground were 463 women above fifteen, and 67 girls under fifteen.
 According to the recent report of the chief mining engineer of this province, these numbers have still further de- creased, the underground female work. CTS being only 452 altogether. It is to be be hoped that Belgian colliery own CTS will discourage the system until it dies natural death. In Great Britain the employment of women under ground was forbidden by the Regulation of Mines and Galleries act, 1942, and, although there is no law to forbid their working above ground at the pit-band, there is In many coal districts feeling against it.

The English Tenantry System.

The following instance illustrates the evil working of the present English system of land management: The village of Everton twelve years ago was one of the most prosperous in the county. The farms, eight in number, were let to well-to.do tenants, most of whom wer @ born upon the soil they cultivated. But since then there has been total change both in landlords and tenants. Some years ago, whe n the land hunger was at it's height, the estate, comprising 1, 700 acres, was sold all the old tenants were evicted the land was let to strangers at an advanced rental, and an entirely new system of management was in- augurated by the gentleman who took the management of the estate. The farms were not long occupied. The advanced rent, like the last straw, made itself felt, and tenant after tenant found himself obliged to give up his holding they were succeeded in some cases. by other tenants, who, like their prede- cessors, eventually succumbed, until at last the village has become almost deserted by farmers. Seven farm houses are unoccupied by farmers, one or two are shut up, and the others are occupied by either bailifs or laborers. The whole of the land, with the exception of one farm and some garden land, is in the hands of the estate agent, who is carrying on the cultivation at the ex- pense of the landlord. The landlords used to clear e3,OoO year from the estate, but for the last four years they have lost 93, ,0OO year.

Winter in the Arctic Sea,

A letter from Tokio, Japan, gives an interesting description, as told by the distinguished voyager himself, of Nord- enskiold's winter in the Arctic Sea. The Swedish navigator, it seems, was withia two days sail of the open sea-almost m sight of Behring Strait-when, on the 28th of September, 1878, the ice closed in on the Vega and detained him ten months. thus postponing for that period his arrival in Japan. The pro- lessor and his gallant crew made the best of their detention, however, the scientists laying in large stock of val uable information. The thermometer was the most of the time 40 degrees be- low zero, yet not single case of sick ness occurred. They made friends with globe, 1t would appear, being too bleak to be habitable by the human kind whom they found living. in Arcadian simplicity, without government and without crime. The men are described as huge of stature, and the women of fine figure and face. To just what special race they belong or whence they came is as yet mystery.
 The weather remained below freezing point up to near the middle of June last. con the 14th of June, there was sud den change to milder weather. A heavy thaw set in, and the coast land was so covered with mud and slush that all ex cursions had to be discontinued. The ice which bound the ship, however, was still so strong that the explorers did not hope to be able to leave before August. Throughout their stay there had been open water seaward, but far from the ship. On the 16th and 17th of July Gn opening manifested itself along the shore, but tho ice was still tenacious of it's prisoner. So Nordenskjold deter mined to take the steam launch to the sea, embark and visit some whaling ships reported by the natives to be near Behring Strait. By half-past one in the afternoon, when his preparations were almost completed, the ice which enclosed the Vega began to move. An hour later Captain Palander, who wasprepared for every emergency, had steam up. At half-past-three the ship was free, steam ed short distance westward to clear the foe, soon set her prov in the right direction and experienced no further ob- struotion from ice Ill the Siberian Sea. "
 Nordenskiold thinks the northeast passage between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans may be made every year; but he sees no direct benefit to trade between the two oceans likely to accrue from h1s discovery. He sees no difficulty, how ever, in establishing valuable trade with points on the Siberian rivers. Agricul- tural implements, he argues, can be proftably shipped tp Siberia and ex- changed for raw material which is too expensive to export overland.

Manufacture of Clothing.

It is estimated that 50,000 men and women are employed in Philadelphia in the manufacture of clothing, and o. 000,000 suits are made there every year. Cutting machines are gradually finding their way into all of the large manufao- turing establishments of the city. Tho machines have capability of cutting nearly eighteen hundred garments in a day of twelve hours, or about equal to the combined results of the labor of eight men. Buttonhoies also can be worked by machinery at the rate of one hundred and eighty per hour, while by hand it would take the same period to complete three holes. By the cutting machines folds of cloth forty ply thick ness can be easily cut through. An in- stance of the value of machinery in ex- pediting manufacture is afforded in the fact that the establishment where cut. ting and buttonhole machines are used turns out one hundred suits ready for wear inside of twelve hours.

A Vacation Extinguisher.

About six weeks ago, person entered our ofice, and proposed to sell us 8 new-fangled " fountain pen" The rash young man at length mentioned as 8 recommendation that the pen held ink enough to last through twenty-four hours incessant writing, and obviated the tedious necessity of dipping it in the inkstand.
 Thereupon we exclaimed: "Dear young friend, would you deprive us of our vacation P "I don't understand" he replied. "Why," said we, "the only vacation we get is while we are dipping our pen in the inkstand, and no man shall deprive us of that. Please go away with your vacation ex- tinguisher. He saw we were in earnest, and he went, not even daring to offer us one of his fountains " as gift, and we dipped ur.zsold-fash;oned pen in our muddy old inkstand, and took a rest.-Al6any LaeO Journal.

Risking Life for Another.

The mere fact of the rank of the un- fortunate Prince Imperial did not con- stitute military reason why his com- panions, surprised and outnumbered, should have risked their entire dostruc- tion by waiting for him to mount. AS a soldier, he took soldiers and not princess risk. It would have been a chivalrous deed for Lieut.. Gary to have returned and died with him, but he was not under any military obligation to do so. A similar risk once taken by an Austrian prince is thus mentioned
 Prince Frederick Schwarzenberg served as volunteer in Algiers with the French army. One day he accompanied small division of chasseurs on an ex- petition. Being surprised by the ene- my in superior numbers, they were forced to fly. .----s'---~f Vi
 The Prince, galloping in the rear of his companions, remarked thathi girths became looser and looser, and conse- quently every moment he expected his saddle to slip from under him in that case, his horse-a fiery Arab-would have thrown him, and he would have been cut to pieces.
 He called to the riders nearest him to stop and help him; but the enemy were too near, they said, and they refused. He therefore resolved to dismount, as his only chance, and tighten the girths.
 He did so and while he was 50 doing, to his great surprise, ohasseur came galloping back.
 "No one shall say you were left in the lurch," said he, "but for heavens sake be quick about it p
 The Prince himself, though he always spoke with admiration of the man who stood by him, never had word to say against the rest.

THE ONL HOPE.

In the hour of death, after this life's whim, When the heart beats low and the eyes grow
 a dim,
 And pain has exhausted every limb
 The lover of the Lord shall trust in Him. When the will has forgotten the lifelong aim, And the mind can only disgrace its fame, And a man is uncertain of his own name
 The power of the Lord shall fill this frame. When the last sigh is heaved and the last tear
 shed,
 And the coffin is waiting beside the bed, And the widow and child forsake the dead
 The angel of the Lord shall lift this head. For even the purest delight may pail, The power must fail and the pride must fall, Andthe love of the dearest friends'grow small But the glory of the Lord is all in all.

A goodly parson complained to an elderly lady of his congregation that her daughter appeared to be wholly talk en up with trifles or worldly finery, instead of fixing her mind on things above. " You are certainly mistaken, sir" said she. "I know that the girl appears to an observer to be taken up with worldly things; but you cannot judge correctly of the direction her mind really takes, as she is little cross-eyed."

A Sons Terrible Crime.

A terrible murder took place at Strongville, Is miles from Cleveland, Ohio. The victims are German farm CT named Jacob Muller, 50 years of ago, his wife, and an idiotio son. The mother fingered but short time and died. The idiotic son may recover, but it is doubtful. The perpetrator of the terrible crime was Louis Muller, son of Jacob Muller, and 23 years of age. He has been employed on the Lake Shore Railroad as fireman. He expresses no contrition. The only noticeable emotion is occasioned by the faltering of the voice as he relates the details of tue crime. The prisoner and his father have not been on good terms for several years, owing to a trouble about property.
