TIE report of Gen. Schofeld, command
ant at the West Point military academy, to
the secretary of war deals principally with
the case of the colored cadet Whitaker
His remarks are decidedly forsible, and he
speaks in no complimentary terms of the
efforts ef the would-b be YefcYmers to snforce
at West Point eocial equality between the
races that they rapudiate in their own
homes. Military discipline, he says. is not
an effective means of promoting social inter
course or of overcoming social prejudice. On
the contrary, the enforced association of the
white cadets with companions to which they
had never been accustomed before they came
from home appears to have destroyed any
disposition which before existed to indulge
in such association. He thinks it was an
sct of doubtful kindness to the oolored
cadets TO force them into an unequal compe-
tition with people who would inevitably dis
tance them in the contest for superiority.
Gen. Schofeld is evidently level-headed on
the race question.

The adulation that is being lavished upon
Sara Bernhardt, the recently imported
French actress, in New York, is not COM
plimsnt to what is known az society in
America. No doubt she ia an accomplished
and versatile actress, and can paint fairly.
But she has advertised her immortality SO
eonspicuously- brings proof of that
immortality with her to this country-thas it
would seem that virtuous women should
have nothing to do with her. Yet the elits
of the metropolis hsck to see her upon the
stage and each social set vies with the others
as to which shall pay her the greatest hon.
age. So notorious a eourtesan deserves OF

THE FORD PIT FIRE.

Vain Efforts to Choke the Fire by Stopping
the shsfts--Great Preparations Being
Made for Flooding the saine--Two Steam
Fire Engines at Work, Two Giant Steam
Pumps Being Made Ready and a Canal
Being Dug to Turn a5River In.
SrEL1AnroN, N. s., Nov. 15.-The entrance
to the mine has been closed by putting down
bundles of pressed hay and brush and
throwing earth On them. The Pictou steam
fire engine arrived by special train at 8 P. II.
Both it and the New Glasgow steamer are
pumping water into the fan shaft. It was
fully expected heavy explosion would take
place Immediately after the entrance was
closed and the air shut off from the mine,
but up to o'clock none occurred.
Later.-To- day, while a number of men
were at work filling IN the main or hosting
shafts, the mines blasted from all the shafts,
breaking out the hay and other filling. The
workmsn had narrow escape, but meme
were hurt. Smoke continued to pour out all
the forenoon, but now little ia coming from
any but the fore shaft, and the steam mixed
with the smoke shows that the water is in
fire. This morning smoke was seen issuing
from the Old Bye pit, near Gage pit. It
communicates with the south side of Ford
pit. The scene to-day is great change to
that of Saturday. The tall chimney of the
Fan shaft is now q heap of blackened ruins.
The buildings at the head shaft have been
scuttled in every direction and all the sur
rounding buildings partially destroyed. Yes
terdsy superstitious fear was upon the
miners and great difficulty was experienced
in getting ything like effective work done.
In consequence of this but little Roadway
was made in the trench. This morning,
however, everybody seemed to recover spir-
its and plenty of men were cheerfully at
work. The trench is very close to the fan
shaft. When the brick wall of the shaft is
reached hole will be made through with
dynamite. The new Glasgow and Picton
steam fire engines are now throwing
water from the river down the main
shaft. Apowerful steam pump was brought
over from Vale colliery last night and has
been placed at pool fed from the river, and
iron pipes are being run from it to the mouth
of the fan shaft. Steam is supplied from
locomotive. Another steam pump of tre-
mendous power, which was used in flooding
the Drummond colliery, was brought over
and is being got into working order. The
great weight of the machine makes this
work but slow. When got to work, how.

Haunted House.

[Owatonna, Steele County, Peoples Press,
November IL.
During last week it became known thai
Mr.. Morford's former residence had been
more or less haunted for the past nine
months, during which time it has been oc-
cupied by Mr.. Diment and family, consist
ing of Mrs. Diment, their young son, Mrs.
Diment's sister, and q hired girl.
The noises have increased of late until
they have become almost unbearable. On
one occasion the door bell was rung, but on
going to it nobody was found. The knobs
of the doors connecting the dining room and
hall and the dining room parlor frequently
turn in broad daylight and the doors
swing open but on going to
man goes through the house all is still as
death, but if women goes through various
noises will be heard, in some cases, as if q
bundle of pans were thrown at door, or
allowed to roll down stairs, sometimes the
noise is as if croqust ball was started and
rolled down. At other times humping
blows will appear to strike the floor from
below, and invariably on any women going
down cellar, they can feel the thumps on the
bottom of the steps of the stair leading down
cellar. Indeed, these noises have SO contin-
ued that when the family has occasion to
move from room to room they all go together.
Ii the windows are raised and the springs
pushed in, the springs will be pulled out by
unseen agencies while you are looking at
them and the sash fall with a crash. These
springs are frequently pulled out and the
windows raised by unseen agencies.
On Tuesday of last week Mr. Diment
came home and was surprised to hear of
the wonderful increasing noises; and, on
account of the fears of his family, deter
mined to remain home Wednesday night.
After searching every nook and corner of the
house to see if their was anything which
could make noise in the house, they found
nothing. After the search was completed,
Mira. D. said, "If you will stay at the foot
of this stair and l go up, you will hear q
noise" Mr.. d. stayed, and as Mrs. D. was
passing through the hall above she saw
light on the wall and heard report similar
to that of cannon and then fell insensible
from fright. Her husband rushed up and
carried his wife down in his arms. It is
almost impossible to carry lighted lamp
through the house at night, and though
you may shade it as well as you can with
books it will nearly always be blown out by
an unseen agency. They then took lamp
to go to investigate, bnt it was blown out on
the third step. They, however, went up.
and when they got upstairs they lighted the
lamp, and found narrow stripe two feet
long burned on the wall and large pile of
common glass broken on the floor. No
windows were open, and the family are un.
able to account for these wonderful phenom-
ena. Parties who have been temporarily
staying with the family, have heard the
noises, and have been frequently startled by
what seemed to be visitations from the spirit
world.

in defiance of the expressed will of the rep

the constitution presents insuperable bsrri-

had no respect for the constitution of the
French republic when he effected the coup
detdt in 1e4s. His uncle, the great Napo-
leon, allowed no law to interpose between
him and his ambition. Their imitators in
Mexico and South America exhibit similar
disregard OF both written and unwritten

will not scruple to overturn both the laws
and the constitution of the country in order
to accomplish their revolutionary designs.
