ANOTHER terrible disaster is re-
corded as having happened in an
English colliery, over fifty miners, it
is supposed, having fallen victims to
an explosion. As a rule, in these
days of scientific advance, such dis
asters can be guarded against, the
parsimony of employers and the care
lessness of the men themselves being
chiefly responsible for them. Moor-
field colliery, where the disaster of
Wednesday occurred, can boast of
the largest death roll by such ex-
plosions of any colliery in England,
with the exception of Barnsley, in
Yorkshire, and it will only be
another instance of British apathy if
a rigid inquiry is not instituted and
carried out in the present case.

ONE of the first questions the Prin-
cess of Wales asked Mary Anderson
was "Where is Kentucky 2" Like
the good girl she is, Mary promptly
informed her that Kentucky was
bounded on the north by the Ohio
river, on the west by the Mississippi,
on the east by Henry Watterson, and
on the south by 10000 democratic
majority. The princess naively con-
fessed that she had never heard OF
the Ohio and Mississippi, but had
frequently noticed Henry Watterson
on the maps.

TALENT is power, tact is skill.
Talent is weight; tact is momentum.
Talent knows what to do; tact knows
how to do it. Talent makes a man
respectable; tact will make him re-
spected. Talent is wealthy; tact is
ready money. For all the practical
purposes of life, tact carries it
against talent in the proportion of
ten to one.

EXCELLENT ADvIcE.-The follow
ing advice is given by the New York
Globe to its fellows of the negro race :
"Let each man of us resolve to save
more money. Without money man
cuts very poor figure in the world.
He is to a certain extent a cipher
sort of q drone to the social hive.
Our children should be taught the
value of time, value of intelligence,
and the value of money. Now is the
time to begin"

AN explosion took place Wednes-
day morning in the Mooriield colliery
at Accrington, Lancashire, England.
There were 10 miners in the colliery
at the time Of the explosion. BY noon
twenty persons had been rescued.
Some of them are badly hurt. None
of the bodies of those who persisted
have as yet been brought up, and it
is impossible to estimate the number
of persons killed. Parties have been
organized to explore the mines. They
have to traverse u distance of three
quarters of Il mile before reaching the
scene of the explosion.
Later.-Thirty more men have
been rescued. The shaft has become
blocked imprisoning many miners,
and there is little hope of their being
rescued. The injured men who were
taken from the mine were removed
through the Whitney hill shaft, a mile
from the block shaft.
Twenty-four bodies have been taken
out of the Moorfield mine, and twenty
fourmore await removal. Sixty-three
miners were killed.

ARIZONA.

The vast mineral resources of the
richest country under the sun are
being steadily developed. Many
millions of dollars are annually ex.
tracted from it's mines, and shipped
away to swell the wealth of the great
commercial marts of the world.
Upon "a thousand hills the seams
and lodges, teeming with metals, are
yielding their treasures to the energy
and industry of man.
The hardy, adventurous prospect
or-the true pioneer of civilization
ON this coast-penetrating the I'M
explored Businesses of the mountains,
Drawing the dangers and scorning the
hardships of his lonely and perilous
vocation, Ia daily bring to light fresh
evidence of the wondrous wealth OF
this modern Ophir.
Arizona has the richest copper and
some of the richest silver mines in
the world. Gold is found every
where. Iron and other metal useful
in the arts and manufactures of the
world, is produced in varying guam
titles. Its rich and fertile soil is
made to yield agricultural products
equal to the needs of it's inhabitants,
with a margin to spare for export.
The output Of bullion from Ari.
zona mines in 1882 was nearly
$12,000,000, and it is probable that
the current year will show largely
enhanced yield.
Thousands of mines, scattered all
over the Territory, prospected suf-
ficiently to demonstrate their value,
await the erection of works for the
reduction of their products. Arizona
is noted for the production of its free
milling ores, and yet a large percent
age of its mines yield smelling ores,
carrying mostly their own huxes,-
