The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1880-10-29

The AaAssIz AssoCIATIos.-One OF the best
signs OF the times is the interest in the natural
sciences which children ought TO take, bat which
they never will take while it is connected in
their minds only with dry study, long tasks and
Latin names. The Agassiz Association-instl-
tuted by Harlan Fl. Ballard, now principal OF
the Lenox (Mass.) Academy, and ipdorsed by
Alexander Agsssiz-is an association named
after the great Louis Agassiz. IT is society
which children all over the country may join,
andi which, through the happy impetus Of an
earnest esprit de corps, may lead them to ex-
plore for themselves the everyday fields OF
Nature and 30, by free yet organized observa-
tion and q cultivated habit OF thought, lay the
foundation Of future interest in the Sciences
The st. Nicholas Magazine, having taken the
matter in hand in earnest, has started ST.
Nicholas branch Of the organization. Full ex-
plantations and particulars are to be given, by
Mr.. Ballard himself. 'in the November issue Of
OF tho magazine, which opens the volume for
1Ss0-S1.

Scrbner's Monthly celebrates its tenth birth
day with permanent change OF cover, and
with number (for November) which the con-
ductors have done all in their power to make
one Of exceptional beauty, interest ard value,
as 1t is also the largest number of Scribner
ever issued. Scribner's cover has turned from
violet to warm brown, and in design the aim
has been distinctness, simplicity, and rich dec
orative effect. Mllett's most famous picture,
The Sower," engraved by Cole, forms the
frontispiece, and among the principal artistic
features OF the number is q striking portrait of
Gladstone, printed in she body OF the magazine
but without type either on the same page or on
the back OF the page, also, a new portrait OF
Walt Whitman.

and less complete mastery Of facts, this ten :
dency would be dangerous. Even he is some
times led by it to discern a principle where
none discernable by other eyes exists, to lay
upon minor principle more than 1t will bear,
to travel faster and farther toward some mo :
mentous practical conclusion than his audience
or bis party are prepared to follow. Still it is
splendid faculty, the sure index of a pene-
trating intellect, weapon with which, when
wisely used, brilliant execution can be done in
debate.
Now let us see how these powers OF thought
are welded by his emotional nature. Active,
marvelously active, az his intelligence is, it is
not so remarkable as is the intensity Of feeling
which he throws into everything he does. he
is all aglow. and always aglow. Any one meet
ing him in company, or hearing bin speak for
the first time, would think that the subject he
might happen TO be descanting on was one
which had been uppermost in his thoughts for
years, such is the earnestness OF his manner
When the same person heard bin again and
again equally fervent upon other subjects. he
would naturally take this fervor for mere or
atorical habit or device AZ lsst our observer
would perceive that it is neither, but the spon-
taneous expression or nature which throws
It's whole weight upon whatever it touches, and
which has such reservoir OF force behind as

this power OF concentration, of being wholly
absorbed by what is for the moment before

ANOTHER ADMIRER OF JUDGE
ALVEY.
WILLTAMsPORT,
WASHINGTON COUNTY, MD,
August 9ith, 1880.

WASHINGTON COUNTY, MD,
August 9Gth, 1880.
To the Editor ofthe Journal See
ing the subject of nominating for Con-
gress our distinguished fellow.citizen
present Chief Judge of this Judicial
Circuit, the Hon. R II. Alvey, elab-
orately discussed in your eminent
journal, permit me to venture few
remarks thereon. / say, amen, to the
proposition, and every democrat IN
this district who thinks it important
to have working majority in the
next House Of Representatives, to up
hold the administration Of the gallant
Hancock, will repeat the same. With
any other candidate we will prob
ably lose this district, with Alvey
we can certainly carry it. And
having once more redeemed it,
with a benifcent democratic admin
istration controlling national affairs,
we can long retain it, and saying to
our successful champion, go ye up
higher" give our ambitious young
statesman "a free field and no favor
in coming Congressional races. To
be sure we would miss Judge Alvey
from the bench in this circuit, and
the Court of Appeals would lose one
of its most gifted members, as able as
the best, if not the ablest, of that dis
tinguished Court. But he can gain
no higher honors there, even though
he remained for the balance Of his
days, and 1 for one want to see him
occupy still higher positions of honor
and trust, and We ought not
to selfshly demand that his great
abilities should be devoted to us,
when such wide field of hon
or and usefulness in a national
view opens before him. l hope the
Democratic party of this district will
make no mistake this time, but nom
mate candidate whose name will
insure success. Let the ticket be,
Hancock, English, and Alvey and
you will zee such a democratic vote
cast in this district this fall as will
bury our political adversaries, out Of
sight for evermore. So mote it be.

PUBLICATION is given by prominent
papers to the statement that the In
spector of Mines of Ohio has been
giving close attention for some time
past to the operation and results OF
the coal cutting machines in use in
Hooking Valley mines. Mr.. Roy is
now fully satisfied that these machines
are practical success and that they
are still capable of improvement.
They do the work of underwriting to
perfection, and lessen the cost of coal
getting, and they can be applied to
any coal seam in the State. Mr..
Roy states that there are now up
wards of dozen of these machines
in use in the Hooking Valley and
that before two years they will be in
troduced into every mining region of
Ohio and will ultimately extend to
every mine in the United States.

THIS region is ahead of all others
in the solidarity of its labor elements.
1t held the gist Of the Pittsburgh
resolutions long before the latter
were promulgated, and now stands
firmly by them when others who
accepted have since repudiated them.
Moreover, this people has extended
liberal aid to their fellow-laborers
elsewhere struggling for their rights.
This is, therefore, the leading coal
region of the world in the eyes of
working men abroad, and the course
and success of our miners is at once
source of wonder and "envious con-
graduation"
How has this been accomplished?
By calm, determined, rational work
by standing upon safe ground, as
serting just rights and waiting pa
tiently for the award.
One year ago the giant stride was
made. For the first time they were
able to place before the public their
proper attitude. The companies were
shown to be the strikers" and the
miners emerged from their long mis-
placement.
More recently the tables were, if
possible, more completely turned upon
the companies, and we may conclude,
as we begun, that our people enjoy
degree of public sympathy unap-
preached by that of any former period
Let any candid student of local
history review the mining events of
the past year and tell us, if he can,

suits more potentially than the influ-
ence and force of the JOURNAL,

WHETHER the mention of Judge
Alvey in connection with the demo-
cratic nomination for Congress
amounts to anything or not, one thing
is certain-the proposition strikes
many of the best people very solidly.
Our Williamsport friend, himself an
able, high-toned gentleman, repre-
sents an element in both parties that
would inevitably pay tribute at the
polls to the commanding abilities and
purity of the Judge.

IT has long been held in this re-
gion that the cut-throat competition
between operators in market has more
than almost anything else except rail-
road tariffs crippled our trade. The
evil is thus described by the Coal
Trade Journal.
II one party sells his coal at less than
the rate, is that any reason why all the
others should fall into such way of dis
posing of their goods? Were the first
party able to supply the Whole market
much more weight would attach to his
course of procedure. But as he IS not able
to do so, there is no reason in the others
following him down, down, down. AS
soon as his small pile is sod out, the fur
ther wants of the community must per-
force be supplied by those parties who
have had pluck enough to stand up for n
better price. Because Church street sells
hat for $l0O, does Dunlap come down
from his $4.OO, and yet both are hats. The
condition of mind of many of the dealers
Is fairly expressed by the couplet,
"Fain would | climb
But that fear to fall"
or rather afraid some other fellow will
pull them down.
This sort of thing was unconsciously
set forth in the companies circular
and used as an argument why the
miners should sustain tile "cutterS"
who ruin the trade.
The leading companies have it in
their power to keep the price of coal
up to standard rate, or rather to its
true value. If they would follow the
example of the miners they would
unitedly stand together to maintain
the value of their own goods.
As it is, the miners are the only
parties in interest who are doing this.
