A party of nine soldiers left Fort AS
siniboine last month to look for some
1000 pounds of game which fellow
named Biggs said he had collected at
Cow Greek, about hundred miles away.
For some unexplained reason, Biggs was
merely hoaxing them. He accompanied
them for time, and then slipped away,
leaving them without a guide The
mercury, meantime, sank to 40 degrees
below zero. 1t took them six days to
make the hundred miles to Cow Creek,
and then, being short of food, they had
to go out hunting amid the EXTREMIST
cold. While thus engaged, one of the
party, a young soldier who was great
favorite with his comrades, became
separated from the rest, and two days
later his body was found in the snow,
frozen hard. His cartridge belt was
empty, and the shells scattered along his
trail showed that he had tried to signal
the others. After much suffering, and
with the aid of two hunters whom they
met, the party succeeded in getting
back to Assiniboine, bearing the body
of their dead comrade 1t is believed
that man named Biggs will do well to
shun the region of Assiniboine.

The other day, when a man rang the
door bell at Garfeld's house, James
opened it and said: "I'll put your name
on the list and give your case my atten.

ahead of you" And the man replied
"Well, then, presume there isn't much
show for me, but I'll pay as much as

asked if nothing would induce him to
accept q seat in the Cabinet or foreign
mission, or some splendid position within
the Presidents gift, and his refusal
drove Mr.. Garfield nearly wild, and he
will appoint the man to some office
anyhow. That man knew how TO work

The Mexican Government has granted
$96, 000,000 in subsidies to American
railway companies for the construction
of Mexican lines, and that means, says
the Courier Journal, that Mexico will
simply place herself IN the hands OF
American capitalists-and that means the
annexation of Mexico to the United
States in the near future, twenty-seven
new States and a vigorous development
of the resources of the southwestern por-
ton of the North American continent.

A new system of smuggling or de-
frauding the government has just been
unearthed in New York. A Canadian
firm, with an Office in New York, have
been importing varnish made of shellac
and alcohol into that city, drawing the
liquor off and selling it as whisky. AS
they got it into this country at thirty.
eight cents per gallon, and could sell it
at 50 25, they were making large for
tune, when the government bounced on
them and broke up the varnish business.

A Paris correspondent thinks there is
more immortality in the capital of the
world to-day under the republic than in
the days of the empire. In Napoleon's
time the immoral newspapers were few in
number and were circulated privately
and secretly, whereas there are now no
less than seven journals devoted entirely
to obscene subjects, one of which has q
circulation of 10000 a day, that is
growing all the time All of these pa
pers are sold openly in the streets and
exposed at the kiosques, no attempt be-
ing made to close them. Their editors
are now and then hauled up and fined
for using indecent language. As, how:
ever, the papers are profitable, notwith-
standing these facts, the editors care lit
tie for this punishment. The Tenement
Pdrisienne, which circulated nearly 300,
900, has regular police fund, and lays
aside each day portion of its earnings
to pay fines. We fear French Republic
cansm is little too near akin to stalwart
Radicalism in this country to be pro-
moter of public morals.

OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
REQUIESCAT IN PACE.

Mr.. Editor:-In your last issue
your correspondent, "a Progressive
Miner asks me what I think about
the new ideas CT "a Digger" for the
improvement of the ventilation of our
mines in comparison with my recon-
mendations for ventilating furnaces,
trap doors and more crosseuts. All
such ideas are behind the spirit OF
the age and not worthy Of considefa-
ton. His mode as a means to i'm
prove ventilation has sent thousands
of miners to a premature grave. |
would suggest the following epitaph
for "a Digger's" tombstone:
Here lies "a Digger" from Georges Creek,
His name was Collier Jock;
All doctors and physicians agree
That he died by swallowing smoke,
He was the first that proposed the plan
To drive out the damp and smoke
Without the aid of furnace or fan,
But it laid out Collier Jock,
Let his body rest in harmony,
For his soul was full of smoke,
So charity towards his memory
Peace to the ashes of Collier Jock.

THE NUT CRACKED.

1Mr. Editor In my last promised
to crack the nut OF the Valley Times
correspondent, "a Digger" that more
cars and less men would better the
condition of the miners of Georges
Creek. Let me call to his and every
other miners recollection in our coal
region that this same dodge, for |
cannot call it by any other name, was
tried in our region some few years ago.
Then let me ask him what was the
result2 Young men and boys idle,
and the price of mining reduced to
forty cents per ton. That was the
result of less men and more cars.
Fourteen hours per day in the mine
for the enormous sum Of two dollars
for five tons of coal. Now the young
men and Toys are employed and work
ten hours per day and get within FIVE
cents of the same amount of money

AN EDITORS LITE.-One of the
beauties and charms of an editors life
IS in his dead-hesding it on all occa-
sions. No one who has ever tasted
of the 81 eets of that bliss can begin
to take in its glory and its happiness.
He does 5000 worth of advertising
for railroad, gels "pass" for a
year, rides $25 worth; and then he
is looked upon as dead-head or half
blown dead-beat. He "puffs" con-
cert troupe $40 worth and gets 81 in
"complimentaries, and is thus passed
Free" If the hall is crowded, he is
begrudged the room he occupies, for
if his complimentaries were paying
tickets the troupe would be so much
in pocket. He blows and puffs
church festival free to any desired ex-
tent, and does the poster printing at
half rates, and rarely gets a "thank
you for it. 1t goes as part of his
duty as an editor. He does more
work gratuitously for the town and
community than all the rest of the
population put together, and gets
cursed for it all, while in many in
stances a man who donates a few
dollars to a Fourth of July, baseball
club, or church, is gratefully remem-
bered. Oh, it is sweet thing to be
an editor; he passess free you

FROM tie first movement in the re-
ownership business to the last all the
intermediate phases pointed to the
destruction of the canal.
When it appears that, after all, the
greatest enemy of the waterway is
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad com
pany, it seems strange that some OF
the greatest and smallest antagonists
of the latter were for long while
pulling its chestnuts out of the fire.
The receivership bill failed and the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, fighting
ostensibly the new railroad, is really
carrying on the war which the
monkeys lost. In spite of the
State, people, preferred bondhold-
era, and the welfare of the coal trade,
it has started out on an all summera
fight. It knows full well that the
new road is an artery of new life to
the canal--this against its imperial
dictum that the canal must dial

DISEASES OF MINERs.-.In the Pop
ular Science Monthly for March, which
by the way, we may say maintains
its high standard of excellence SUM
mary is given of the diseases Ct miners,
as they have been specially studied
by DR.. Paul Fabre, CT Commentry,
France. The diseases prevalent
among workmen who labor in damp
or wet galleries are largely governed
by certain accessory circumstances.
No morbid symptom 10 developed
among those who work in gallery
which is simply damp and of a temper
allure not exceeding $50. But if cold
water falls upon, or if they have to
put their legs in water, they become
sui ject to lun bago, sciatica, to indie
finite pain in their limbs, and often
TO rheumatism, generally subacute,
sometimes chronic, most frequently
localized in a single generally
that of the left knee, on which the
pick-men and beavers rest in working.
In galleries saturated with moisture
and where the temperature exceeds
ITO or $50, the workmen ale soon
overcome with an extreme lassitude;
hey get hot, they gasp for breath,
the sweat rolls down their bodies,
and they are obliged to stop working
and rest for while in a cooler spot.
A rabid enervation compels frequent
changes Of the men in the gallery, and
sudoral or military eruptions occur,
sometimes boils, rarely eczema. If,
while the gallery is constantly damp,
the air is yitiated by poisonous or
irrepressible gases, and if the water
contains sulphates or sulphuric acids
in solution, the men, in addition to
pains in their limbs and difficulties
in breathing, experiencelively itchings
and painful gmarls wherever ?tfe
surface of the skin has been abraded.
These who have labored for a long
time in the damp galleries contract
chronic Inflammation Of the gums,
together with muscular pains in the
limbs, and have often intestinal trcub-
les and spots ofpurpura. These phen-
omena indicate the coming on of a
mild form of sourvy. The remedies
are improvement Of the sanitary
condition Of the mines and the homes
Of the miners, and the usual appli-
cation for scurvy whenever the symp-
toms of that disease appear.

BITUMINoUs Goals are sought after
more freely and the operators are
much encouraged as to outlook for
this years business. Clearfeld ton
mage is now up to forty thousand tons
weekly, and Georges Creek about
thirty thousand. When the canal
orens the latter quantity will be in
creased fully twenty thousand tons.
Tolls on the B. & 0. road are to be
twenty-five cents less than last year,
making rates $l.62 per net ton from
Cumberland to Baltimore. There is
nothing done about tolls or expenses
on the Chesapeake and Ohio canal,
for this year, but the rate is anxiously
awaited by the operators to enable
them to do business. Orders are
already in hand for shipment at
