LABOR TROUBLEs.-Therei is great excite
ment at the Ely mines, Vermont, on account
of back pay claimed by about one hundred
miners, who struck and engaged in a riot
last Friday. They forced the superinten-
dent Of the mine to leave the town, and
made threats to burn the property of the
mine. In view of the threatening condition
of affairs, the Governor called out four COM
panies of militia on Friday, and proceeded
to Ely himself. He however, telegraphed
the treasurer of the mining company that he
must be prepared to pay the men their just
dues at once.
A dispatch of Saturday from Ely says
Four companies of State troops arrived here
early this morning and found the streets de-
serted, the riotous miners not expecting
them. Governor Barstow and other State
officers accompanied the troops. Eleven of
the ringleaders have been arrested and no
resistance has been made. They will prob
ably be raken to Chelsea this afternoon.
Much sympathy is expressed for the miners.
Some families are on the verge of starva-
ton. Some of the women with children in
their arms, have appealed to the troops for
assistance. Money has been raised to re-
lieve their immediate wants. The Mining
Company proposes to pay $4,000 of their in
debtedness to the men at once, $4,000 next
week and the balance (s15,5 ,50O as soon as
ore now in process of refinement can be put
through and shipped. A larger portion of
the troops will probably return tonight, as
it is thought the danger is over.

CRUELTY TO CONVICTS.-A Columbia dis
patch in the News and Courier Of Monday
says: Upon the return to the penitentiary
recently of seven conYicts from the Green
wood, Laurens and Spartanburg Railroad, a
number Of them informed Superintendent
Lipscomb that those convicts who had made
complaint to him at the time Of his re-
cent inspection of their camp, Of the condi-
ton of the camp and of their treatment,
had been, upon his departure, soundly whip
ped by order of the captain of the camp, as
punishment for their disclosures. The
statement of these convictS was cOrrobOra-
ted by that of white citizens, who said that
six or eight of the convicts had been so
beaten. Lipscomb, Whenhe
had dsatisfied himself that there was truth in
these complaints, made written demand
upon Col. r. p. Todd, vice-president of the
road, that the offender should be forthwith
discharged, and Col. Todd promised to have
it done. 1t is not new thing for the lash
to be used to prevent complaint by prisoners,
but Superintendent Lipscomb will by his
action discourage the repetition Ofsuch con-
duct.
RAMPANT COLORED ORATORs.- col
ored people held a county convention in the
Chaplin grove last Saturday, for the purpose
of electing delegates to State Convention,
which is to elect delegates to the national
of colored people in Louisville,
Ky. The Rev. Baines, of the Baptist COL
ored church, said that the colored men had
built up this country that its cities and
towns were their work that they were de-
prived of their rights and had no fair chance
in the courts. There was one kind OF JUS
tice for the negro, and another for the white
man. He, or one Of the other speakers,
said that coIored gentleman could not go
into the parlor where white women were,
but they could put on their best clothes and
drive them in carriages. He for one would
take off his hat to no white woman, but he
would lay it in the dust for a colored lady,

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH.-The State
Board of Health met in Columbia last Fri
day. There were present DR.. Gary Of Able
vile, president Drs. Wilhite Of Anderson,
Bratton of York, Faber of Orangeburg, ST.
mons, Prioleau and Fraser of Charleston,
Acknowledgement Miles and Comptroller
General Stoney. The chief question dis
cussed was that of the jurisdiction of the
board in regard to the condition of the con-
victs farmed out.
After considerable discussion Attorney
General Miles gave it as his opinion that the
board had no Jurisdiction over convicts out
side of the Penitentiary. 1t had been the
intention of the board to send committee
to examine all the convict camps and inves-
tigate their condition, but this opinion
estopped them.
On motion Of DR.. SimOns the question of
the duties Of the executive committee of
the board in relation to the penal and char
liable institutions of the State was referred
to a committee, which was appointed, con-
sisting of Drs. Simons and Prioleau and Mr..
Miles. The other business was merely rou-
tine.
No reports of epidemics were received.
The sub-boards of health Of the various
counties will make their reports at the Oc-
tOber meeting of the board.

Artificial Flowers for Churches.
>ren.doiIars, worth Of artificial aewe

}Tens1oiIars' worth OF arti iRcial Aewezs,
tastefully arranged in different way
each Sunday by some of the skillfnl
ladies of the church, will last whole
season and do the work 'of 500 worth
of the real products of the hot-house.
It is believed that this artificial
business was first introduced in Brook
lyn. It may bea a comfort to genuine
florists to know that one of the churches
which conspicuously engaged in this
sort of work came to grief at the hands
of the Sheriff, and is now used as q
place of worldly entertainment. A
clergyman, who was supplying for the
day a pulpit which was decked with
"artifcials," happened to bring into his
sermon an illustration on the growth of
the flower from the seed. 70 clinch
this illustration with the very best
effect, he reached to basket of flowers
which stood near the pulpit and was
about to pluck from It pretty flower.
"See," said he, "the rich scolors of thiB
dainty flower. Note its delicate fra
GRANGE. It grew from q little seed no
larger than the head of pin" Just
then, with thumb and finger. he laid
hold of the stem of the delicate, dainty
and presumably fragrant thing, with q
view to removing it from the basket aud
holding it up to view. Great was his
sudden disgust to find the stem made
of wire inwrapped with green muslin.
When in the next moment the horrid
revelation dawned on his mind that the
whole basketful was . lot of counter
feits, he looked as if green potato
worms had suddenly craw1ed upon him
from out the pulpit desk The con-
gregation smiled, and the preacher
pushed on with his sermon as best he
could. philadelphia Press.

the wool off of each other, and, in conse-
quence, the wool is short"

shabby for the Northern Pacific railroad
to run dining cars, because it interferes
with the money making of few break

pany and the convenience of the public,
