From the throngs of spectators. Politicians

beginning to realize what power there is
in the united and organized forces of voting
workmen. Defense but not defiance,
one Of their notices, expresses the spirit
OF the laborers. What the strike fails to
do will next be tried by the ballot. a
notable difference between the present
strike and the strike Tor riot OF 1871 Is
the entire absence Of anything like reyo-
lutionary spirit or attempt at deeds Of yIo-

"H INFERNO. "

Pittsburgers, like the Israelites OF old, are
ever surrounded by pillar of cloud by day
and of fire by night. Whether this has
any significance in connection with the fact
that Pittsburg is popularity termed "the
hotbed of Presbyterianism, remains to be
proved. According to the latest statistics,
Plttsburg proper has population of
l56, ,3Sl souls, and Allegheny, situated di-
rectly across the river, rs, 900, making for
the two cities and suburban districts
nearly quarter of million inhabitants.
The area of the city is vast in proportion
to its population, as might be readily sur.
missed from the gas lamps which light up
the sylvan solitudes in the neigh6orhood
of some City Councilman. A few years
ago all the suburban districts within a
radius of five miles, on the average, were
Incorporated into the city, and now costly
avenues and unused bridges remain as the
mementoes of municipal extravaganza and
private bankruptcies. For the first time
in many years Pittsburg is visible to the
naked eye. The smoke.bo city has,
through the kindness of the strikers, been

The dusty exhalations of myriads of coke
ovens, the fumes of oil-refneries and the
thousands of smoky contributions from the
chimneys of private dwellings, and the
appropriateness of the name of Smoky City
will be appreciated. The Californian, who
has never been away from the Poetic coast,
would have to dye in hues of deepest black
San Francisco fog in order to get some
conception OF the regular atmosphere OF
Pittsburg. The sun appears as seen
through smoked glass great clumps of
soot fall like inky snow, beginning the
faces of the passers-by.
The people of Pittsburg are for the most
part either native Scotch. Irish or of Scotch
Irish extraction. In late years the Ger
man element has been gaining ground. In
view Of the prevalent nationality of the
inhabitants the conservative spirit OF the
place becomes apparent. Several thoologi-
cal seminaries of the ultra. orthodox type
are situated here, churches are numerous,
church. going is the fashion, and, all in all,

DISESTOSIBED

Tourists, who have hitheto avoided this
city, are now beginning to find attractions
in the place, and make this the convenient
stopping place on their travels farther
west. Indeed, the time was when Pitts.
burg was considered one of the most pic
turesque spots west of the Alleghenies.
The high hills surrounding the city on all
sides have long since been robbed OF their
trees and grassy carpets by the whitening
breath OF a thousand blast furnaces. Coal
and iron are the chief interests in Pitts
burg. This city produces one-twelfth of
all the pigiron and one quarter of all the
rolled iron produced in the United States,
and of late years the steel manufactured in
Pittsburg has had the name of being un-
paralleled anywhere. The inexhaustible
beds of bituminous coal furnish the fuel for
working the iron-ore, and the railroads in
all directions and the Ohio river form q
convenient outlet. Pipes, hundreds Of
miles in length, conduct the crude petro-
leum of the oil-felds to Pittsburg for refn-
ing purposes. Now imagine the smoke of

Ups and Downs i'm Mininq.
From the Bullion Miner.l

Mines have their ups and downs, min
ers their vicissitudes. The miner is al
ways guided by the indications, but
never knows peradventure what the next
blast may uncover. In Grass Valley,
years ago, miner named Dalton sunk
his shaft on the indications, and toiled
day after day, hoping to strike bon
ANA, which his judgment indicated
should exist. He worked until he could
work no longer, and then blew out his
brains In despair. Others came along,
and in sinking not five feet deeper struck
bonanza that has since yielded
millions. Not many years ago French
tailor and a Yankee schoolmaster-
Bernard and Geddes by name respect
ively-prospected in Eureka County,
Nevada, not far from the great Richmond
and Eureka bonanzas. Their district
was called the Secret Canon. They
plodded along patiently, expanding all
their means, and borrowed all that their
friends would venture. They believed
that they had uncovered large deposit
and proceeded to San Francisco to get
money to pay off large Indebtedness
incurred and procure means to further
prosecute work. In the latter attempt
they were successful, and under the
auspices of q California company work
was resumed. 1t was expected that all
the debt would be wiped out and Geddes
and Bertrand be adequately rewarded for
their labor. Mismanagement resulted
in the failure of the California company,
and the original owners interests were
foreclosed under mortgages previously
given. The mortgagers having acquired
title to the property, came to this city q
year ago to invite the attention of New
York capital to the investment. But
the history of the mine was not such as
to indnce confidence, and the owners re-
turned empty-handed. Not having the
means to prosecute further work, they
sold out for a song giving it up as a bad
job. The new purchasers had some
confidence and money, and the result is
that to-day extensive teaching works
are in process cf erection, thousands of
tons of pay ore are in sight, 24O men are
employed in the mine, and it promises
to rival the best of the Eureka County
mines. The present owners proited by
the experience of the past, wasted no
money on expensive mill-crushing but
erected works which could not fail in
successfully treating their ores. Mean
while the Yankee schoolmaster and the
French tailor walk the streets of San
Francisco, Micawber-like, II" waiting for
something to turn up" Moral: Never
be IN too much of hurry to give up
a mine.

A Valuable Beast,
From the Springfield Republican. !

from The Spr1nSneIQ hepuDucan.
The attention which the recent sale of
the famous "Jersey. Queen" has excited,
leads me to give brief sketch of that
remarkable cows career. She comes
from the herd imported by e. T. Fair
banks & Co., and was purchased when
only few days old, together
with her mother, by d. Harvey,
of Peacham, vt. She was sold
when nine months old to a farmer
of that town for $50. In six months
from that time she was purchased by
Asa Hoyt, cooper Of the same place.
Mr.. Hoyt owned her for several years.
He is a very careful, painstaking man
and did not own any other COW. The
last year that she was in his possession
he kept an attentive account of all the
butter and milk which the "Queen
produced. At the end of the year he
found that she had made TAG pounds OF
butter. Many were incredulous, not
outstanding the excellent reputation of
Mr.. Hoyt. In 1879, however, the COW
was resold 70 Josiah S. EMERSON, of
Barnet, VT, for $1,000. Mr.. EMERSON
is we'll known throughout New England
as the as the able agent fol Bradley's
phosphate. He christened her the 'sJer-
sey Queen" and put her into careful
hands. When she came in the spring of
1881 he had an accurate account kept of
her milk and butter. She has already
produced between 500 and 600 pounds
of butter, and unless she fails up entirely
at the end of the year her record will
pass 800pounds. Mr.. EMERSON has Just
sold the "Queen" to A. B. Darling,
proprietor of the Fifth Avenue Hotel of
New York, for So, 600 cash. Mr.. Darling
now owns the two best COWS in the world,
"Eurotas," whose record is $50 pounds
of butter in one year, and the "Jersey
Queen" whose record will pass 800

Men go to the water barrel. in which

and will take their picks and chop up the
ce IN order that the water may be rem
dered colder by being filled with fine
fragments. Often this does not satisfy
them, and they chew and swallow Jumps
OF Ice. The natural temperature of the
human body is about 9Sdegrees, Fahren-
helt. Therefore where man man re-
mains in hot place for an hour, or even
half an hour, his blood and bis whole
body become heated to a temperature of
ll5 to 12O degrees, or whatever may be
the temperature of the place in which he
IS at work. 1t is then that the miner be-
gins to pour down ice water and eat ice.
The strangest thing about the business
IS that it does not hurt any of the men.
Often they swallow such quantities of
1ce-water that their stomachs will not re-
tain it, and in vomiting it up will feel
cold in their mouths and against their
teeth. All they do on such occasions is
to swallow more of the same water, but
more cautiously.

SpecuIatind "Cranks y

According to the Salut Public, recent
operations at the Bourse in Lyons have
been of so exciting character that
many spectators have gone mad.
" Within few days. it says, &C so many
lunatics we're brought from the Bourse
to one private mad-house that the direc-
tor did not know how to dispose of
them. His perplexity was all the
greater because they fancied that they
we're still at the Bourse, and insisted on
doing business with the other patients
and with the servants and officials. At
last it occurred to the director to set up,
in remote part of his institution, bar
like that which is placed in the Bourse
for agents. The effect on the patients
was immediate; they rushed to the bar
and began to invite each other to buy
and sell. Thus the whole day passed;
and not until evening, when they had
exhausted themselves, would they con-
sent to be taken to their rooms. Since
that time the institution has been
quieter, with the exception of the sham
Bourse, where the lunatics daily win
and lose milliards.'

through the thin partition I heard her
say, I have been your tool long enough.
l believe it was you who killed my sister.
Give me what want-one half-and let

gether.'
"When that conversation was ended,
[ knew that [ had the count, alias Am
brose Purvois The whole thing was
plain to me. This woman, the countess
was the sister of Purvois' wife. This
sister, living in Marseilles, had written
to Lizette, telling her that by the death
of an uncle the two sisters were heiresses
of fortune of 800, 900 francs-that this
wretch Prlrvois had suddenly resolved to
rid himself of the sister, who was his
wife, and thereby leap at once into her
share of the fortune by his claim as her
husband. He murdered her, then made
his way to Marseilles, presented himself
to the sister, who was younger and
handsomer thar the dead one, and finally
won her affection, seduced her and came
to Paris, assumed the title of Count
Horace Croissart, and went in TOR enjoy
ment. You remember at the inquest he
said: Il have existed, not lived; to live

"Your rart is ended. Nine now be-
gins" said the project.
That evening Count Horace Croissart,
alias Ambrose Purvois, was arrested in
his box at the Grand Opera, and taken
to the projects Office. The countess
was also arrested. The count, on being
informed of the charge against him, lost
his courage, and with the countess
against him, and the story of the sharp
detective fastening the crime upon him,
he became frightened, and, abject coward
that he was, he confessed and begged
for mercy. The Detective Peirret's
theory and facts were correct, and Peir-
ret received his promotion. The sister
of the murdered woman was released,
and Ambrose Purvois was executed May
10, 1866.

Down on the Lawyers.

Recently the supreme judicial court
for one of the counties of Maine sat, and
one or two members of the Androscog-
gin bar attended. A clergyman was in
Vited to open the court with prayer and
did so. The divine closed his petition in
this manner: "At last may we become
dwellers of that better land where there
are no lawyers, no judges and no courts.
Amen" The court bit its lip, the attor-
neys' ribs could hardly be restrained
from shaking by the solemnity OF the
occasion and business was not taken up
until some time after prayer. The
parson doubtless meant that on the
other shore there would be no occasion
for legal proceedings, but the bar per-
sisted in misunderstanding that there
were to be no lawyers among the elect.

WILD WEATHER OUTSIDE.
BY MARGARET E. sANGsrER.

Wild weather outside where the brave ships go,
And fierce from all quarters the four winds blow
Wild weather and cold, and the great waves swell,
With chasms beneath them as black as hell.
The waters frolic in Titan play,
They dash the decks with icy spray,
The spent sails shiver, the 1.-the masts reel,
And the sheeted ropes are as smooth as steel.
And oh that the sailo were safe once more
Where the sweet wife smiles in the cottage doo1!
The little cottage, it shines afar
Ger the lurid seas, like the polar star,
The mariner tossed in the jaws of death
hurls at the storm q defiant breath;
Shouts to his mates through the writhiDg foam
HCourageI please God, we shall yet win homei'
Frozen and haggard and wan and gray,
But resoute Sill. tits the sailors way,
And perhaps-at the fancy the stern eyes dim
Somebody's praying tonight for him.
All me- through the drench of the bitter rain,
How bright the picture that rises plaini
Sure he see, with her merry look,
His little maid grooming her spelling-book;
The baby crows from the cradle fair;
The grandam mods in her easy-chair;
While hither and yon, with quiet grace,
A woman fits, with earnest face.
The kitten purs. and the kettle sings,
And nameless comfort the picture brings.
Rough weather outside, but the winds Of balm
Harever float DER that isle Of calm.
6friends who read over tea and toast
Ct the wild nights work on the stOrm-swept coast
Think, when the vessels are overdue,
Of the perilous voyage, the baf1ed crew,
OF stout hearts battling for love and home
Mid the cruel blasts and the curdlng foam,
And breathe prayer from your happy lips
For those who must go 90 to the sea in ships;''
Ask that the sailor may stand once more
Where the sweet wife smiles in the cottage door.

could not be matched. Well, what did
she do? Did she faint? Did she say,

Not at all she passed the thing off in

and calmly resumed her dinner. He,
of course, was delighted, thought her q

she was became attentive to her, and
finally married her,

Is told of Modi-ska, now playing in
Boston, by an English correspondent
of Washington paper It appears she
was recently asked in. q fashionable
London drawing room to give recita-
tion in her native tongue. At first she
was unwilling to comply, declaring that
the recitation could scarcely be inter-
esting, as nobody in the room was sup
posed TO know Polish. Yielding to the
opportunities Of those around her, she
commenced a polish recitation. As she
proceeded her eyes seemed to flash fire,
and her audience we're almost spell.
bound by her impassioned delivery.
They could, Of course, only imagine
what she was saying but they presumed
she was uttering the aspirations of be
countrymen for freedom, and denounc.
ing the oppressors of Poland. When
the recitation was finished, the most
enthusiastic plaudits rewarded Nine.
Modjesks's efforts. It looked rather
suspicious, however, to see her husband
and two or three Polish friends in fits
OF laughter, as the company made their
way out of the room. It was then ex-
planned she had been only reciting the
ordinary numbers from / to 100.
