"A blacksmith is always ON the strike
when he is not blowing.
A man at a hotels fell the whole
length of flight OF stairs. Servants
rushed to pick him up. They asked
him if he was hurt. No." he replied; I;

She went into a shop to buy some

she said she didn't want that kind.

and the two young men, being the
steadiest hands in the mine, were select
for the operation. There they toiled to-
getber for few weeks without exchang-
ing o word, and they were alone, far
from any other workmen.
Margaret was wretehed, but TO all her
supplications Tregear still said that he
had no fear. In ber distress she spoke
to Polglaze and asked him to shake
hand, with Tregear. He refused, but
he pressed his rough hands to his temp
les and said, II loved you then, I love
you now, as much or more than Joe
Tregear."
A day or two after that both mon were
again at work together, aud silent as
death in the sHlitary shaft. They were
suddenly startled by falling stone. A
few Jumps of earth came tumhlinR
down, and the whole shaft seemed to
tremble.
The works we're giving way. The
two man looked at one another. for q
moment, with blancbei faces. II was
the first tina they had looked into one
anoIher's eyes since that fatal day. ex-
cept to dait glnnces of scorn and hate.
They ran to the kebble and gave the sig
nal to be drawn mp. They we're tonch-
ing one another now, their hands almost
clasped together on the rope. Their
very breath seemed to intermingle. Il
was terrible after such course of hate
to be brought together under these cir
cumstauces. As theyswere both shout
ing to be drawn up, the rope frightened
and strained, but the kebble would not
move. More earth now fell. but still
the kebble remained at the bottom of the
shaft. Whilst shouting louder and
louder for help, the terrible truth flashed
through their minds that, there was only
one man at the windlass, and: that no
alone was unable to raise them both, and
all this time the shaft was trembling and
earth and stones falling.
As they stood there in the kebble their
bodies and hands touching, and glanc-
ing into one another's eyes, the awful
thought came to them both in an instant
that one of them must die-must die to
save to other-his enemy!
One of them must debut who should
it be?
They again looked at one another, and
there was an eternity in the glance.
Then one of them let go the rope and
dropped out of the kebble, which i'm
mediately began to rise. Who was it?
The willing martyr was Tom Polglaze.
"rell Marg'et,"as he shouted, as the
kebble'rose above his head, ''tell Marg'et
did it to save iher. .pain-to save you
whom she loves! forgive you! but be
sure and be good to-"
The shaft gave way, and nothing pre-
sented itself to Tregear's gaze but mass
of slate and rubbish. +,-,Tom Polglaze
was IN seternity, as noble soul as ever
died for any cause that is dear to man;
as devoted as any mariyr-as generous
souled as any patrlot-though only
poor miner.
1t was long before Joseph Tregear and
Margaret Powhele recovered from that
sho,k. They mourned the brave dead
al brother, and neat little stone, over
looking the village church-yard, long af-
terward, reminded the tinmen of Ire
goze of the noble deed of self-sacrifice of
hero who was one of themselves.

THE N. Y. SUN
NEW YORK, 1883.

Moro people have read THE SUN during
the year just now passing than ever before
since 1t was first printed. No other ncws.
paper published ON this side Of the earth has
been bought AMI read in any year by so many
men and women.
We are crcditably informed that people
buy, read, and like The SUN for The follow
ing reasons, among others:
Because its news columns present in at
tractive form aud with the greatest possible
accuracy whatever has interest for human
kind the events, the deeds, and misheeds, he
wisdom, the philosophy, the notable folly.
the news of the busiest world Mt present re-
vOlving in space.
because people have learned that in its re.
marks concerning persons and affairs THK
SUN makes a practice OF telling them the ex-
act truth TO the best of ability three hundred
and sixty-Bve days in the year, before cleo
tion as we'll as after, about the whales as
well as the small fish, In the face of dissent as
plainly and fearlessly MS when supported by
general approval. The SUN has absolutely
no purposes to serve, save the information of
its readers and the furtherance of the com.
mon good.
Because 1t is everybody's newspaper. No
man is SO humble that THE SUN is Indifferent
10 his welfare and his rights. No man, no
association Of men, Is powerful enough to be
exempt from the strict application of its
principles of right and wrong.
Bee use in politics 1t has fought for dozen
years. without intermission and sometimes
almost alone among newspapers, the night
that has resulted in the recent overw he lining
popular verdict against KObesOnism and for
hGnest government. No matter what party
| is in power, The Sun stands AMI will con.
| tinue to stand like a rock for he interests OF
| the people against the ambition of bosses. he
encr0achments of monopolsts, and the dis
honest schemes of public robbers.

The Walls of Kings Mountain

Chattanooga Democrat, 8.


Night before last as the north bound
express train on the G. s. r. r,
was passing through the long and dis
NAL tunnel at Kings mountain an
accident occurred which so Mortified
the passengers as to aim ost cause a
deadly stampede. The train was run
ping at the usual rate of speed and
most all ofthe passengers were quietly
sleeping. Just as the engine was
emerging from the northern portal, a
deep, heavy noise was added to the
roar Of the train, followed by sudden
crash which quickly aroused every
PASSENGER and set the ladies' to scream.
ing. The wall and roof of the tunnel
On one side had given away and huge
bolders crushed through the ladies'
coach, smashing one wLole side of the
same. Fortunately the ladies were
all in the sleeper, and that was not
touched. The widest excitement
followed, and passengers, half crazed
with fear, frantically rushed out Of

soon stopped, however, and quiet par
TALLY restored, when investigation
revealed the fact that no one had been
seriously hurt, only one man being
at all crippled, and that was done BY
his being pierced with glass.
Among several others, Mr.. George
Stoops, of the Florentine Hotel, was
passenger in the coach that got
smashed, but came out unscathed.
No damage was done any other part Of
the train, The mass Of earth and
stone was cleared away, and trains
we're soon enabled to resume their
regular runs.
When the crash came water and
mud poured into the train quite freely,
which showed that the slide was
caused by the recent wet weather.
The man who got cut with the broken
glass is at the FlOrentine.

WASHINGTON, February 7.-Sena.
tor Lamar delivered his speech on the
tariff in the Senate to day. He has
taken his own time to prepare the
speech, and it is regarded by all who
heard it as among his best efforts. He
spoke for nearly one hour and half,
but his voice was so husky at times
that he could not be heard distinctly
in the Senate chamber. He has lost
much of that fiery ,sloquence which
for so long a time was one OF the chief
characteristics OF his speeches, but
he still retains the beauty and
symmetry of his sentences, which
charm the reader. From a literary
standpoint, it was decidedly the most
cultured and elegant essay that has
been delivered in the Senate this
session. His argument was chiefly to
show that the protective policy is
delusive, and that its maintenance is
not necessary for the existence or the
development Of American manufac-
lures. The discussion and the votes
on the pending bill slowed clearly, he
said, that it was impossible TO make
any material reduction of taxation
and at the same time maintain the
protective system. The two things
we're incompatible, and one or tht
other must be given up.

RUBBER MANUFACTURERS.
They Discuss Important CUES

Conclusion.

New YORK, February 9.-Ata pri-
vate meeting oil rubber manufacturers
held at the Astor House yesterday,
at which were present fifteen repre-
sentatiyes of the leading rubber COM
panies of the United States, The
convention discussed the advisability
Of forming consolidated man
ufacturing companies, and to in
clude all the best companies in the
country, and after discussing the sub
ject in all its points, decided to leave
the matter to a committee OF six man
uiacturers, who will make report at
the next meeting in accordance with
the agreement made last month. A
number of companies close their fac>
tories to morrow and throw at least
5000 persons out of employment. The
reason for this action is the high price
of crude rubber, which the manufac.
turers cllim is due to the speculations
Of cliQues looking toward speculative
ends. The manufacturers would be
willing to pay the advanced price for
crude rubber if they could get cor
respondiugly advanced figures for
their goods.
