THE TEMPERANCE QUESTION.

Mr.. Editor knowing that your
paper is generally well filed with To-
cal and other items, l have for some
time past hesitated as to the proprie-
ty of asking you for space to discuss
a question that / consider of more
Importance than any that has agitat-
ed the minds of the people since the
settlement of the great question of
human slavery, namely, the question
of the licensed sale of intoxicating
liquors. In this question are in
volved two evils of fearful magnitude,
first to the individual, and then to
the nation.
AS far as the evil to the individual
is concerned suppose there will be
very little difference of opinion, as all
will admit drunkenness to be an evil,
and it is fact established beyond
controversy that the habit of drink
ing, once acquired, is very seldom en-
tirsly overcome, especially, when
temptations to drink are constantly
in the way, and thess temptations
clothed with the sanction of law. But
when the friends Of prohibition ask
for law to remove temptation out of
the way they are met with the objec-
tion that such law would be evaded
and liquor still sold. While this may
be in measure true the objection is SO
weak as scarcely to need reply.
Let me simply ask such objectors, what
law is not broken? The crime ofmur-
der is punishable with death, and all
the fearful retribution that may fol-
low, yet murders are of frequent
ccurrence. So with arson, theft, and
all the long catalogue of crimes, the
accounts of whose frequent commission
takes up so large a space in all the
newspapers of the day, yet no one
urges the repeal of these laws, nor
asks that the State should license
the commission of these crimes, and
not one, nor all of these confined, is
an evil of so great magnitude as in
temperance, which has justly been
styled the parent Of vices, and is
known to be the fruitful source of
crime and misery. And yet this
Christian government, with the full
knowledge of all these facts, is giving
to men all over our fair land, where
the people have not arisen in their
might to oppose it, the privilege, for
few paltry dollars paid into the
treasury, to curse and ruin their fell
low-men, thus making the whole ma
tion accessory to all the crime and
misery thus produced. VIII not God
be avenged on such nation as this
By your permission I will continue
this subject at another time.
Truly yours,
PROHIBITION.

TO THE MINE OPERA TORS, MINE
SUPERLNTENDENTS, AND
WORKING MINERS
OF OHIO.

COLUMBUS, OHIO, June II, 1880.
The undersigned, appointed Mine
Inspector by Governor Foster, on Feb
ruary 18th last, has, since assuming
duty, visited the various mining dis
tricts of the State, and finds by in
vestigation and inquiry, that the
Mining Law, in many of its more
important provisions, is not being
respected and obeyed. The attention
Of all concerned is respectfully but
earnestly called to the following
facts:
Defective ventilation prevails in
many mines over part or the whole
of the working places, to such an in
furious degree that the combustion of
the workingmen's lamps can only be
maintained with difficulty. In some
mines there are no means provided
for giving motion to the air, and
where furnace or other ventilating
power is applied to renew the circula-
tion, the airways are frequently too
far behind, while faulty stoE9ings and
badly hung doors, further prevent the
circulating currents from extending
to the working faces where they are
SO greatly needed, and are required
by law. Section 29s, chapter 9, Re-
vised Statutes, volume / requires
that "the owner or agent Of every
coal mine, whether shaft, slope or
drift, shall provide and maintain for
every such mine, an amount of ven
tilation Of not less than 100 cubic
feet per minute per person employed
in such mine, and as much more as the
inspector may direct, which shall be
circulated to the face of eaph and sv-
cry working place throughout the
mine"

SCHOOL EN1 ERTAINlNENT.

A goodly portion of the intelli-
gence and refinement Of Frostburg
was present at the fifth annual enter
tainment of Wheeler Hall, Tuesday
night, 22d inst, at Odd Fellows Op-
era House. Fair faces and forms Of
course predominated, but sprink-
ling of the sterner sex was not want
ing.
Precisely at 8 o'clock the exercises
were opened with prayer. A chorus
was then sung, "The Turf shall be
my Fragrant Shrine" followed by
Ernest McCulloh in a Salutatory Of
of aorid greeting. The piano solo,
"Recollections of Home," by Miss
Maud Kern, exhibited careful train
ing and good execution. The recita-
tion, "The Street Musicians" by Miss
Diana Thomas, was creditably render
ed, accompanied with voices from in
visible vocalists. Little Nettie Hun
ter, in her recitation, "Drsssed for
Church." enacted what was 70 most a
cunning piece of pantomiue. Song
and chorus, "Only a Few Faded
Roses, by Misses Mason, Wllderman,
Walsh, A. Staples and Mr.. Rees, was
prettily rendered. Miss Hettie jeff
ries gave bit of needed advice in
her reading, "Trouble your Head with
your Own Affairs" J" Miss Edna
Mum, in her piano solo, "Fhiry Foot
steps," rose to the occasion bravely
for one of her years. The dialogue,

OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
TROUBLE At HAMPSHIRE.
.InNE %. 1880.

visited the Hampshire mine this
morning and found the miners assem-
bled in mass meeting. 1t appears
that there has been some trouble at
this mine lately on accou MT of some
sharp practice played by some Of the
miners checking their fellow-miners
cars. Three have been discharged
for it.
The meeting this morning was to
investigate the same charge against
one of the miners employed at this
mine, namely, G. w. Hudson. The
miners name preferring the charge is
VIM. Bly,. He was notified to attend
the meeting but failed to do SO. After
hearing the evidence the meeting ex-
onerated Mr.. Hudson, which, I think,
was right. Before heard the sense
of the meeting was fully convinced
the charge was false. The meeting
appointed committee to wait upon
the Superintendent to demand the
discharge of BLY, for his conduct in
trying to injure the character of an
innocent man; and, also, to request
him to have the mine cars numbered.
The Superintendent did not do his
duty in not making known through
the region the names of the men dis
charged for this offence, as a man
guilty of this is not fit to work
amongst men. He would rob an or
phan asylum. THos. Brown,
Mine Inspector.

Shaffer, Walsh, Betz, M. Staples and

voice of Miss Lucie Kopelin was
fresh and sweet in her solo, "The
Beggar Child" Miss Maud Kern's
essay on Progress" dwelt chiefly on
the progress made by our country,
contrasting the savage life of 100000
Indians with our present civilization;
an easy and graceful style and deliv-
cry marked her performance. Ern-
est McOulloh's reading, "The Course
of Love too Smooth" was well rend-
cred with perhaps need of more
distinct enunciation as in the saluta-
tory. Misses Walsh and Betz's voices
blended sweetly in the duet, "The
Land of the Swallows" The paper,
The Mountain Cleaner, read by Miss
Margretta Hooking, editress, gave an
editorial and anonymous contributions
Of considerable merit, closing the first
part of the exercises.
The performance of "The May
Queen by the Little Folks evinced
much labor and taste. Miss Anna
Staples pictured the painful scene OF
railroad disaster in her reading,

legating it to dreamland, yea, even to
the prosaic nightmare; very well read

ed the customary agonies of school
girl in composing after the first few
oommon-places are exhausted, and
used the stereotyed phrases as an IL
lustrat;on Of the monotony of human
lives; her production is one of positive
merit. Solo, "Camelia and Rose, was
sung by Miss Diana Thomas. Then

A committee of three had been ap-

perior matter and style, though the
marked merit of the affirmative was
recognized, together with her superior

mines of the State now in this office,

are requested to forward, as soon as
practicable, plans of the workings of
their respective mines. The maps
end plans in this Office will be return

proprietors, OF their agents, for the
purpose of extending the survey up
to date.
Men and boys are in the habit of
riding up slopes and shafts on loaded
cars, contrary to law. This practice
must cease. All future offences will
be dealt with as provided by law.
Many boys under IL years of age
have been, within the past year or
two, taken into the mines to work,
contrary to the provisions of the
statute. Agents Of mines are hereby
notified that all boys under IL years,
and between the ages of IL and 16
years, if they cannot read and write,
must be removed from all mines un-
der the management and control of
such agents, in accordance with Sec
tion 302 of the Revised Statutes,
which reads as follows: "No boy
under IL years. shall be allowed to
work in any mine, nor any minor be-
tween the ages of IL and l6 years, un-
less he can read and write, and in all
cases of minors applying for work,
the agent of of such mine shall see
that the provisions of this section are
not violated" Section 1924 of Ohio
School Laws, 1880, further provides,
that mo manufacturer, owner of mills
or mines, shall employ any child
under IA years of age, during the es-
tablished school hours of the locality,
unless such child has attended some

The Eisteddfod, which took place
at Scranton, last week, in building
constructed by the Welsh residents of
the region and capable of holding
5000 people was festival not only
of music but literature, though the
splendid competitive singing and in
strum entation which the Welsh toll
ers in the mines annually exhibit
eclipse all other features. The prizes
include poetry, prose, defamation,
and Welsh oratory, as well as music
and musical composition but the ex-
pected character r Of the latter may be
surmised from he fact that Messsrs,
Dudley Buck, Simpson and J. B.
Mills were the judges in music.
There are mary r,izes of various val
ues for the best :. ,rus singing by a
given number Of ioices, for the best
solos, duets, trios, and SO on, for the
best band pl yiag, and for the best
piano playing. The prizes for essays
and poems in Welsh are also numer-
GUS, the subjects being assigned. The
gratifying feature of the affair is that
it occurs in the mining region, and is
largely the work Of the mining popu-
lation.-N. Y. Sun.
