drinking your pay in some shebeen-house. Oh,
my curse on the shebeen-houses-my bitter
curse on them this day!' She wiped the bleed
ing, bloated face of her young husband as she
spoke, and when one of the bystanders who
had been touched by her violent emotion asked
What did the child die OFF the woman re-
sponded quickly With the small pox, sure
than if battery of artillery had just assaulted
1t, and in short time there were none left but
the afflicted woman and her silly husband,
whom she helped as best she could toward
their stricken home. Sights like this are COM
mon at and about Avondale, and short dis
lance from the village a desperate fight be
tween a miner from Avondale and a Nanti-
cook man was witnessed on the Fourth of Ju-
ly. Avondale is the scene of the great disas-
ter Of 1863, and is situated on the right bank of
the Susquehanna as you enter the Wyoming
valley from Northumberland. / ascertained
that the shebeen-houses' to which the strick-
en- woman referred SO bitterly are the bane of
the mining hamlets. They sell liquor without
license, and the poisonous compounds in
which they deal have maddening effect up
on the miners. A false sense of honor prevents
even the men and women who look on the
'shebeen houses with detestation from, report
ing them to the authorities. Besides, if any
one did report these hell-holes he would be
looked upon as an informer and subjected to
petty, or perhaps serious persecution among
the poor class, who regard the spy with pc
culiar loathing not easy TO understand. Now
when the pay of the miners and laborers is
small, these unlicensed dram shops are dou-
Bile curse, and the strict enforcement of the
law is sadly needed. The prize fighting and
other brutal 'pastimes' so often witnessed in
the out-of-the-way places are directly traceable
TO the effect of the vile intoXicants by which
the brains of the working classes arc crazed"

Intense Heat in London and Paris.
SFAX CARRIED BY THE FRENCH BY
ASSAULT

LONDON, July 16.-The heat continues.
Several deaths have occurred in England from
sunstroke. At the Greenwich Observatory
yesterday the thermometer registered 81 in
the shade, the highest trustworthy record.
The maximum in the sun was 1853. AT Paris
at o'clock yesterday afternoon the thermom-
eter indicated 81 in the SADIE.
British Trade Policy.
The Morning Post in an editorial, directs at
tenton to an article in the Quarterly Review
intended to show from statistics that British
manufactures are declining and that foreigners
are competing successfully, even in the Eng
lish markets, in consequence of the system Of
free trade. The Post concludes as follows:
1.-The Quarterly Reviews array of facts
deserves the most considerable attention of
every man having the future prosperity of the
country at heart. The United States, under
the system of protection described by some of
our political economists as suicidal, has paid
during sixteen years over e150, 600 of their
debt and paid e20,000,000 last year under it.
The United States have passed by leaps and
bounds into condition of prosperity which be-
fore long will enable them to cancel the enor-
nous debt incurred on account of the civil
war. England is by no means in the same
hopeful condition. We grant that free trade
has done much to benefit the country, but we
doubt whether il has not been pressed too far
whether it has not become imperative that
some resort to retaliatory duties shall be made,
in order to show that the advantages we offer
to foreign States should be met by equivalent
concessions on their part
The Times says the figures most prominent.
ly relied on in the Quarterly Reviews article
are altogether erroneous. The reviewer, it
says, overstates the excess of imports over ex-
ports by e63, 100000. and it points out the fall
lacy of regarding the excess of imports as
sign Of weakness. Even with an excess of im-
ports amounting to e1S4.000,000, England is
doing no more than getting an income for her
investments. When the excess diminishes it
is a sign she is again investing largely abroad.

THE PRESIDENTS IMPROVE
MENT CONSTANT AND RAPID.
The Danger Line Almost Passed.

The official bulletins by the physicians and
the unofficial reports show that the President

His improvement is as rapid as the most SAN
guine could hope for. He has had no relapses,
but his symptoms have steadily grown better.
1t will be but a short time now before he can
be pronounced out of danger. The bulletins
of Saturday showed subsistence of the febrile
symptoms and those of yesterday point in the
same direction. His appetite is returning and
he is gaining strength.
