People of the Ohio valley may posi-.
bly, be consoled by statements that 9th
ers have suffered greater calamities
from floods. They are reminded that
over one hundred thousand lives were
lost by one food in Holland and that
whole provinces have been washed away.
The food on the Rhine two years ago was
more appalling than that on the Ohio
of this year. That on the Thesis at
Szegedin in Hungary few years since
was far more awful in the loss of life.
The river Pc in the north of Italy has
visited destruction on the people Of that
country from time immemorial,, though
levees to the height of thirty feet have
been constructed to turn back the foods
The great Hoang-Ho of China has in.
flicted more loss of life than all the
rivers of Europe and America combined
and this despite the marvellous leyees
said to be hundred feet high, raised
to hold it's waters. But it is curious
fact that the valleys of all these streams
are still densely populated; therefore, il
may be presumed that the floods in the
valley of the Ohio, though of frequent
occurrence, will have no marked effect
in the future so far as density of popu.
lation is concerned.

Democratic National Convention.

-
A meeting OF the democratic national com
mittee was held in Chicago on the &d.
The first thing done which was regarded
with special signifc canoe was the first ballot on
the time for holding the convention. Dates from
early in May to the middle of August were pro
posed, the earlier dates generally being regarded
as in the interest Of St Louis, ard these dates
were taken up and acted upon, there was cor
responding interest on the part OF representa-
tves of the rival cities. The first ballot was for
the 10Th of May, the vote begin II to 90
The final vote on the location showed that
the vote on this date really indicated the
strength Of the respective cities of st. Louis
and Chicago, the latter getting twenty -one votes
for location and the former seventeen: The
next ballot on the date fixed it on the 24th of
June, but this was changed, after the location
was agreed upon, to the Sth Of July. Three
ballots for the location were taken the last re-
suit was Chicago q, st. Louis Il.
The following call was presented by the ex-
ecntive committee, and agreed upon:
The national Democratic committee having
met in the city Of Washington on the I'D Of
February, 1884, has appointed Tuesday, the
9Th day of July next, at noon, as the time, and
chosen the city Of Chicago as the place, for
holding national Democratic convention.
Each state is entitled to representation therein
equal to double the number of senators and
representatives in congress of the United States.
The Democrats of each organized territory
and the District Of Columbia are entitled to
send two delegates, subject to
discretion of the convention as to
their admissisn All Democratic citizens of the
United States irrespective of political asso-
Citations and differences, who can unite with us
in an effort for pure, economical and consd-
tutional government are cordially invited to join
in sending delegates to the convention.
The call is signed by all the members of the
national Democratic committee. On motion of
McHenry of Kentucky, it was resolved that the
next meeting of the committee be. held at the
Palmer house, Chicago, July 9TH next. The COM
mitteo then adjourned

A Witty Answer and It's Result.

A Witty Answer and It's Result.
An Interiors ready wit is often con-
sidered sufficient offset for his INSIDE
meanors. The following is related of
Sake
At the siege of Prague, after he had
laid all his plans for his final desperate
assault, SAKE took ride in the evening
through his camp, partly to sec how we'll
his general order were underst TODD, and
partly to cheer his men.
As he rodr slowly ON within his lines,
tall grenadier, who had found jolly
companions somewhere, and who had
evidently drank as much, wine as he
could comfortably hold, in rollicking,
tipsy mood, staggered up and took the
generals horse by the bridle-rein, at the
same time demanding, in an utterance
somewh hat thick and uncertain, how
much the rider would take for his beast.
"Mon ami, I want horse. What will
you take for this animal?"
SAKE called for an officer Of the guard,
and directed him to put the man into the
guard-tent, and keep him safely until
called for. =. g =
l.. And on the following morning the
great captain had the grenadier brought
before him. The man came trembling;
but with a cheerful look.
"Well, my man." said SAKE, as the
soldier stood before him, "what are you
prepared It, to offer me for my horse this
morning?" 80
General" replied the grenadier.
promptly and frankly, with sincere,
honest flush upon his good looking face,
,..tthe genius that offered to- buy your
horse last night, I am happy to say, has
left the camp; and I hope he will never
come back-never! But, general, if he
does, I will report him to you at once.
i promise it!
SAKE accepted the grateful pledge
with pleasing smile, and told the SOL
der that he would take him at his:
word.
The grand assault, which proved sue
cessful, and placed Prague in his hands,
was made that very day; and twice dur
ing the conflict SAKE received his life at
the hands OF the grenadier whom he bad
that morning pardoned. ). -
Once the soldier had led squad Of
his stout ,comrads to the rescue, and
once he had saved his beloved general
by his own personal bravery and Prov
ess.

Coal Mining Horror.

j., The little mining village of West Leisening,
four miles north of Uniontown, Pa, was, We'd
nesday the 2Gth, the scene of the most terrific
explosion ever known in the Coke region. The
Connellsville Coal and Iron company, of which
Judge Leisening of Mauch Chunk is president,
has 200 coke ovens there, which have been in
operation about-a Year. The works give en-
p1oyment to about 100 men, and quite little
town has sprung up named after the president
Of the company: Coal is obtained BY means Of
4 shaft, which reaches the mine 400 feet from
the surface This morning part Of the force
who had worked all night left the mines q little
after o'clock, and seventy others took their
places making the usual morning shift About
$50 o'clock while the men were digging, sud
denly, without any warning, there occurred an
explosion that cOnyulsed the mine in every
APARTMENT and threw the men into the utmost
Consideration. The awful scene that ensued
among the terror-stricken miners cannot be-
described. All their lamps were blown ont and
they were left in darkness and confusion.
when they found themselves unable to breathe.
An explosion of FIRE damp, a term which
miners apply to light carbonated hydrogen OF
coal gas that issues in the roof Of mines, left
the mine filed with after damp, which contains
no oxygen, and renders it impossible for life to
be sustained So dangerous was the afte1
damp that it was fully two hours before yolun-
teers could enter the mines. The work OF
rescuing men now went on rapidly by willing
volunteers, and at noon nineteen bode5 bad

Arrangements are in progress to run
train from Chicago to Portland, Ore
yon, via the Northern Pacific railroad,
n five days. The present time from st.
Paul to Portland is four days. It is
expected that the pleasure travel over
his route will be very large this year.
Thousands ofpeople we're deferred from
going over last fall owing to the late
less of the season before the road was
full working order. Many will go
TO seek for locations in Oregon and in
The territory of Washington, and many
others to see for themselves the wonders
that have been so wildly described by
tourists.

Many cites and towns of Connecticut
voted money aud bonds to aid in build
ing of railroads and they are now heav-
lily taxed to meet their obligations, and
are seeking to escape from their burdens.
A bill was introduced in the legislature
to devote one-quarter Of the amount re-
reived by the state from taxes on rail-
roads to paying off the bonds Of towns
and cities. The amount of taxes re-
seived by the state from railroads for
he year 1883 was 1888, 900. If one
quarter of this was devoted to paying
off town bonds,- it would only amount to
b97 900 year, which would not go very
far toward relieving the towns. It is
probable that the towns which have put
themselves in this bad fix will have to
and some other way out Of their difficult
hes. Not one of the towns voting the
bonds will admit that the slightest ben
eft has been derived from the roads, or
that the bonus was really necessary to
obtain the roads.

The Archaeological society at Athena
has decided to make researches at tho
bottom of thessea in the Bay ofSalamis,
where the lannon's naval battle between
the Greeks and Persians was fought.
The water is not very deep in the bay.
As the present state Of technical science
enables the society to. adopt efficient
means of investigation. and as the $3.50.
citation possesses the necessary financial
strength, it is hoped that the enterprise
will succeed. Since the Greeks lost
