DIFFERENT animals are called up
by different cries. Cattle are called
to the sailing with a-whoo-e.y; sheep
are called by ca-d-a-a-y; chickens by
chick. chick chick-and 60 on. But
when the pigs by long fasting have
gotten so lean that they can get
through the cracks of the palings,
some patriot will climb up on the top
rail of the fence, and putting his
hands on both sides of his mouth will
below through them reform, reform
m and then the little pigs, squealing
and curling their tails in a spiral of
eagerness, will come trotting up
towards the corn crib. Then the
patriot takes the corn himgelf and
gives the hungry little pigssome more
husks.-Baltimore Gazette,

TEXAS IMMIGRATIoN.-A San An
tonic correspondent of the New Or

estimate that 1000 immigrants daily
are pouring through the gate cities
OF Dennison and Texarkana into the
Lone Star State. This is without
parallel in the history of immigration,
50 far as the Southern States at least
are concerned, and points to Texas as
the rapidly-developing empire State

To the Editor of the JOURNAL
In last weeks issue I got some
facts about the Eckhart Slope rather
mixed up. The amount of coal cal.
culated to be mined and shipped from
this opening, referred to the amount
that was considered lost by the creep
or set, but now available by the cross,
heading mentioned being pushed for
ward, which will open up the whole
of the considered lost property. The
daily tonnage of this mine will soon
be increased equal to the largest mine

This land league doctrine should
not be confined in limits to one ma
ton only, it is universal and should
be upheld and supported by the free
men of all civilized countries. 1t is
the cause of the down-trodden poor
against the rich it is the cause Of
labor against capital. And those
who oppose this land league move
ment are enemies to our free institu-
tons and should not reside in this
republic.
cannot see for the life of me the
reason why any Irishman or descend
ant of the brave Celtic race, should
hesitate for one moment to join the
land league. 1t will have strong
tendency to drive those landlords
or robbers across the channel, and
the 100000 Of acres of the most
fertile Of their land that their cattle
now Craze on, the Irish need for Guilt
walton. Ireland will then have full
and plenty to support a population of
100000; they can then show their
hospitality, as they did in lang syne,
when students from all civilized ma
tions came to Ireland where they OBJ
tanned their education without charge.
Alfred the Great, of Eng. and, received
his education in Ireland.
1t is rot just that Ireland should
be allowed to suffer-that land Of
genius but degradation a land Of
orators, charming poets, brave soldiers
and great statesmen land of super
abundant fertility and salubrity OF

men and sons Of Irishmen to sympa-
thize with the land league. 1t will
DO an honor to the Celtic race to be
united on this question it is our
bounden duty as Irishmen and chris
tians to assist the starving people OF
Ireland. That fertile soil holds the
sacred ashes of our forefathers-our
brave ancestors-who so nobly fought
and shed their blood defending their
native land shall they be forgotten

Oh where IS the slave so lowly,
Condemned TO chains unholy,
Who would not hurst his chains at first,
Than suffer beneath them slowly
Union is strength. That great ora
tor, the Rev. 7. Burke, estimated that
the number Of Irish and their extrac-
ton in the United States to be
100000, and no one viii doubt his
figures, and it would be degrading to
US, considering our numerical strength
to allow or permit 5,00O,000 of souls
of our own flesh and blood to starve
in our native land without our sym
pathy ard support. Let all join in
this holy cause of suffering humanity,
and the civilized world will approve
and admire the Celtic race for their
union and devotion to the cause OF
their kindred who are now suffering
beyond the broad Atlantic by the
cruel and oppressive laws of a tyr
ranical government. Then it will be
a consolation for us to see that lovely

the employees are allowed to do SO,
which ! think is perfectly right.
There are four cars run upon this
plane at once-the length is 1900
feet, and / found 1t took only fifty
eight seconds after leaving the Dol tom,
to ascend to the top; let your read
ers imagine the time gained and the
horse flesh saved by this mode of
working heavy grades. There is
another plane being constructed at
the top Of this one running into a
track Of land called Mount Glare; it
will be the same length Of the before
mentioned one, the grade is from ten to
twelve feet to the hundred. Mr.. Lyons,
the superintendent, deserves great
credit by taking advantage of this
grade by using the rope instead Of
horses. 1t would pay some Of the
companies on Georges Creek to go
and do likewise. 1900 feet Of one Of
the headings lie about to be re-laid
with T-iron, the material being inside
on the ground.
There is also new tram-road being
made at the Franklin mine to a new
opening en- the big vein, which is
worked its full thickness. Also a
new heading is being double-shifted
at the Phoenix mine, running into the
Wheeler property, which was pur-
chased lately by the Maryland Union
coal company, the owners of the last
mentioned mines. One thing struck
me forcibly in this new heading when
| thought OF the out.crop lines Of our
big veih laid out by professionals
twenty-five years ago; it was proof
enough to my mind that there are
nothing superior to the pick and
shovel for developing the hidden
treasures of the bowels of mother
earth. That well-known, shrewd and
successful coal operator, James Boyce
Of Baltimore, is at the head of the
company. The resident superinten-
dent is Fl. @. Black, Esq, who is as
sisted by Messrs. Grant and Lowe,
inside bosses, and through their united
cooperation with those improvements
they are getting this company's work
into fighting trim for shipping COAL
The miners employed by them are
doing better than they have for some
time-averaging about fourth
time.
At the Swanton mine the superin-
tendent is busy connecting the new
track leading to the opening on the
small vein with the new weigh scales,
which l am happy to say are giving
full satisfaction to all parties with
the exception Of those that used to
carry off the overweight that the
miners were taxed with upon the cid
ones; but superintendent Mcdonald,
with the aid of the Maryland Code
and Barton Judiciary, is teaching
those parties the true spirit and in
tent of ordinance No. 7, wrote by
Moses UPON tablet of stone, which
reads. "Thou shalt not steal"
The atmospheric temperature out
side is causing some trouble in the
mines ventilated upon the natural
plan and also some of our mines
with furnaces are being troubled with
black damp. More cross-cuts and
more fire, gentlemen, are what is
needed. I never believed that ven
tilating furnace was built for an ice

,
ventilation was more discussed than
now. 1t was proposed by legisla-
tive scientist to put enough air in a
mine which other scientists declared
would amount to an underground hur-
rieane-which would blow miners,
horses, tools, and cars out the mouth
or up the Aue. Of course, all this
depended upon the quantity of pure
air an adult should be provided with,
but about which there was much di-
versity of opinion.
For those desiring authoritative in
formation upon the subject we will
quote from certain professors, the last
expression emanating from Prof. II.
Newell Martin, Of Johns Hopkins
University, Baltimore:
An adult, sitting quietly, breathcs about
Is times o minute; in each lreath he takes
in and gives out 80 cubic inches of air,
which for minute gives about O.254 Gu
bic feet, or for day of "a hours about 34G
cubic feet.
Prof. Huxley says:
In order to be supplied with respiratory
air In fair state Of purity every man
ought to have at least 800 cubic feet Of
space to himself, and that space ought to
be freely accessible, by direct or indirect
channels, to the atmosphere.
DR.. Michael Foster, one of the
foremost English psychologists, con-
tends that man should have at least
twelve cubic feet Of fresh air every
minute.
James Hinton, London surgeon
of high repute, after placing large
figure for adult ventilation, regards
sufficient respiration supplies of i'm
portance 30 vast that "a child should
be allotted as much fresh air as an
adult"
1t is very common among those
who have to incur the expenses of
proper mine ventilation to sheer at
the stress laid upon its Importance.
But when it is considered that from
re-breathing alone one of one hun
dred parts of carbonic acid is FRO.
duced and denominated "highly in
furious" what must 1T be in mines
where the more poisonous carbonic
acid gas is native2 where the vital
object of breathing-to obtain oxygen
from the air to carry off this gas from
the blcod-is defeated?
The same gentlemen, with children
in overcrowded city schools, in build
ings above ground, would no doubt be
quickly alarmed with scientific re-
ports of inadequate ventilation. But
when the husky voices of their pro-
testing employees come from the moi
some chambers Of the mine, it is all
communicating but the FESTIVE
fanlt-fnding of dyspeptic miners.
Ventilation is confessedly an i'm
port mt, q vital question, and those
who pay most attention to securing
and maintaining it, whether operators
or miners, do the most in self-protec-
tion from loss of property-from loss
of health.

CoAL-MINING IN ALABAMA.-The
output of coal from the mines of Ala
bama shows a steady increase. In
1874 1889 tons were mined, in
1878 1914, 1858 tons, in 1879 100000
tons, whilst in 1880 the aggregate
ran up to 100000 tons. This growth
has been made in the face of many OBJ
stacles, chief of which was the want
Of railroad facilities and a general
impoverishment of the people by
losses of the war. The value Of coal
output in Alabama last year was
100000, whilst it is believed the
year 1881 will show coal output val
ue in Alabama of So, 100000.
