 MOUNT KHHEGA.
 The articles which have appeared in your valuable paper concerning this mountain neighborhood have awakened great interest among us. They carry us back to the good old times when educa- tion, religion and business were in full bloom and everything was prosperous. That voice from Ohio sounds natural and it reminds us of the man that made feast The richest viands of the sea. son were provided for the occasion and among them were beans. One of the guests complimented his host on the entertainment, spoke of the meats, veg etables, etc., as being very fine, ''bu the beans," said he, twill speak fo, themselves." So the Rev MT Ball need no eulogy from us; like the beans, h' can speak for himself. Suffice it to sa, we had the best community on tho whole there was in Salisbury. We were temperate, godly community.

If an editor omits anything he is
lazy and if he speaks of anything a
it is, people are mad if he smooIhs
down the rough places he is bribed
if he calls things by their proper
names he is unfit for the position Of
an editor: if he does not furnish his
readers with jokes, he is stupid; if he
does, he is rattle-he AIDED, lacking
stability; if he condemns the wrong
he is good fellow but lacking dis
erection; if he lets wrongs and injuries
60 unmentioned, he is coward; if he
INDUCES in personalities, he is black
guard; il he does not, his paper is dull
and insipid. In short, if he edits t
paper properly and sticks to truth
and facts he is fool, and dop't
know how to edit paper half as well
as his readers could.

The Social Agitators.

PARIS, Oct. 30.-In the information
al labor conference great diversity Of
opinion prevails among the delegates.
The subject of international legisla-
ton was resumed, but the discussion
degenerated into generalities. French
delegates again urged state inter-
vention. Workingmen ought to form
political party and if necessary
resort to force The admission Of for
eign workingmen to the French syn
dicate chambers was demanded. Hem
ry Broadhurst, honorary president Of
the conference, demanded complete
liberty Of action and the suppression
of coercive coalition. He argued that
complete harmony existed in England
between the working and the middle
classes. He advocated legislation
only for the protection Of women and
children, and repudiated violence.
Broadhurst added two English cabi-
netmlnisters who supported the trades
unions and said only one regretted
that France was not similarly stu
ated.

THE DYNAMITFRs AGAIN.
Fearful Explosions.


LONDON, Oct, 30. AT eight o'clock
last evening terrible explosion &C
CURED near Praea street. m under.
ground station on the Metropolitan
railway. At the first alarm strong
Gordon of police was summoned To
preserve order and to keep the way
clear for conveying the wounded peo.
pie to the hospitals Passengers on
the train ut the scene of the explosion
say there was sudden loud report
like that of a cannon, then a sudden
darkness, the gas lights from the front
to the rear of the train being put out
glass broken and splinters Of wood
flew about the cars, cutting and
woundlng many passengers. Above
the din were heard the shrieis of the
injured and panic stricken people.
All this occurred in moment, and
fora while confusion reigned supreme.
The train, which was crowded, con
tanned principally country visitors re
turning from the fisheries exhibition
After leaving the station the
train travelled steadily ahead, al
though the conclusion smashed near
ly all the lamps III the Praed street
station, and caused much dam
age to the permanent way.
When the train reached the next sta
ton the first effort was made to res
cue the wounded Some were dread
fully burned but more were prostrat-
ed by fright All the doctors surger.
les and dispensaries in the neighbor-
hood were called into reqaisition.
The first impression was that the eS-
plosion of gas caused the disaster but
later inquiries tend to show malice.
The two rear carriages were damaged
the most, they are mere skeletons.
Another theory is the explosion was
caused by foul gas accumulating
in the tunnel This was, however,
unte.able, because no premonitory
symptoms were observable. The
general opinion Of railway officials
and experts is that the disaster was
caused by some explosive material,
carriage. Meanwhile a searching in
jury is proceeding. 1t is believed
about 40 We're injured; some danger
ously. Almost simultaneously with
the Praed street affair, violent
explosion occurred al the un-
der-ground railway between Char
ing Cross and Westminster
stations. The windows Of the signal
stations in the tunnel were shattered
and at Charing Cross the glass roof
Of the station partly collapsed. The
report is described as being like that
of artillery. Carriage lamps, win
dows, etc, were smashed All traffic
was suspended for awhile Although
both explosions are clouded in the
greatest mystery, they are generally
thought to have been of Fenian
origin
