UhME OVER TuE SEA.



At Castle Garden yesterday Parsou
Berkemeier married PHILIPPINE Unlauf, a
handsome German girl, 10 Gustave Kruger,
stable boy. The brides father is a rich
miller living near Bremen. He has broad
lands where the grain grows and mill
that is never still. There are horses in
his stable and gold in his Golfers.
Among his stable boys was Gustave
Kruger, an ambitious lad who cast his
eyes upon his employers charming daugh
ter. He was stalwart, manly looking
fellow, and the girl soon became infatu.
ated with him. When the pOrtly miller
Unlauf found out the state of things there
was a scene which ended by his giving the
young man enough money to support him
for some time and telling him to take
PHILIPPINE aud clear QUITO America,
anywhere-out Of his sight.
The couple came to this country, land
ing at Castle Garden yesterday The plan
was that they should be married on their
arrival, but Philippine on the voyage saw
that Gustave was weary of her aud wanted
to escape with tho money her father had
given him. She communicated her fears
to an officer at Castle Garden and asked
him to keep an eye on her reoreaut lover.
GustaVus did try to escape but was cap
tured at the gate and taken to Parson
Berkemeier. The bridal tour is not yet
begun.

Philadelphia Times.
There is a popular idea that the bitum
inous coal industry of Pennsylvania, being
scattered over much greater extent Of
territory, is OF more value to the state than
the anthracite field. Such, however is not
the case at present The anthracite field
IL confined to portiOus Of nine counties
and comprises 80 active colieres, which
employed last year S1,30S persons
to whom $33, ,597,252 was paid in
wages. The mines were worked An
average of eel days during the
year and the output was 80, l5i ,5i0 tons
of coal. The bituminOus field in operation
for the same time comprised portions of
twenty iive counties. The number of
active collieries was 3Sl, employing
As, 454 men aud boys, to whom $l7,
ga were paid in wages. The average
number of days the oollieries were in oper
alton was 207i and the output of coal
amounted to 1S, 729, 8l7 tons. This includes
tue amount of coal used by 10,6l7 coke
ovens in tho manufacture OF 3, $3.50, S72 tons
ofooke.
A comparison of these hgures discloses
the fact that whilo bituminOus coal is pro
duced in nearly three times as many coun
ties as comprise the whole known
anthracite field, and while there are
seventy ono more bituminous oolleries
IN active operation than in the anthracite
district, but little more than half the
number OF men are employed producing
coal and receiving wages in about the same
proportion. There is large field for
future development in the bituminous
district, but at present much of 1t remains
untouched.

A FEW weeks ago the sentiment Of
the directors and school men, generally
of the county, was. almost solidly for
the election Of Mr. Brecht to the county
superintendency. Whatever opinion
there was on the subject WAS based upon
sense of his fitness aud recognition
OF his satisfactory discharge of duty
during his incumbency OF the Office.
Nothing has transpired in the meantime
to change public sentiment regarding
these considerations ana the people Of
the county, who are friends of the
schools, will want more substantial
reasons for his custer from office thai,
the grievance of disappointed place

Public Economy.

The New York Tribune refers to the
" serimping and starving" policy Of the
Democratic House. There is nothing
new in this cross eyed view of the course
of the Democrats in relation to the ap
preparations to be voted to the several
branches OF the public service controlled
by the Republicans, Ever since the in.
coming of the Democrats in 1874, it has
been heard from the opposition press,
aud yet no efficient and useful branch
of the public service has ever yet
been crippled or had its usefulness i'm
paired or its efficiency destroyed by con-
gressional economy. On the other hand,
the grants OF money have always been
liberal enough to allow very considera
BILE salvage for Republican stealing, and
the opportunity has invariably been i'm.
proved.
No government has yet come to ruin
by economy, none has been starved out,
though instances are almost innumera
ble OF lavish administrative expenses
working the downfall of nations and OF
the tightening of the purse strings by
popular representatives correcting ex
ecutive ills and abuses. Mr.. Randall's
best fame as public man has been made
by his consistent determination to resist
raids upon the government and know
ing the irresistible tendency of the
average representative to pluudlr it for
himself or his district, the public will
readily forgive any disposition toward
too severe economy on the part of tho~e
who guard the avenues 10 the public
treasury.

The Country Newspaper.

Col. A. K. Mcclure, in the Phila-
delphia Times, has the following kind
but truthful words with reference to
the country newspaper, and at this
season of the year, when many are
thinking of renewing their subscript-
ions to their local paper, what be says
is worthy of careful thought.
The new Year is a good time to con.
slider the generally overlooked claims
of the local newspaper. It is the
most useful and least compensated. of
all the agencies which stamp the I'M
press of progress upon villages and
inland cities. Without the local news.
paper local towns are, as a rule,
tbriftless aud tend to decay. 1t is
common for small great men to speak
with contempt of the locSl newspaper.
ID that they intimate greater men in
speaking of greater journals which of
fend by manly criticism but the vii
lage newspaper makes more great men
out of less material bricks
without straw-than any other factor
in politics, and it is the one ladder on
which men climb to local distinction
as the beginning of wider fame. The
local journals of Pennsylvania have
progressed in typographical elegance
in editorial power and in freshness
and COMPLETENESS of local and general
news even more than the city journals
during the last score of years. Eve
ry inland city in the State has it
daily paper or papers now, and many
of them surpass the Philadelphi,
! journals Of generation ago in all th'
attributes of a newspaper, while tn,
local weeklies have kept fully abreas
with the general progress of journal
ism. Local weeklies have now ex
tended from the country towns int
most of the thrifty villages, and tb
advent Of the local newspapers 'ha
always dated the increased thrift c
the community. The local newsps
per is the life of the locality, aud th
measure of its support, as a rul'
measures the advancement of tn
people. Begin the new year by nc
only subscribing but paying for you
local newspapers. They are til
friends and helpmates of all season
