MADRID, January 9.-Fifteen thous-
and persons have already left Granada.
The people generally are of the opinion
that the end of. the world is at hand
and are asking absolution from the
priests. The village of Guenejar is
slowly sliding downwards to the valley.
An opening has appeared iii the noun

ported to Le issuing. The subterrane-
an rumblings and detonations are fear
full. Various scientific OPINIONS have

sons to be Cue to the subSidence of the

The Boom in Business.
A Brighten Outlook for the Rolling
Mills and Furnaces at Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, January S.-There is Il
brighter outlook among the rolling
mills and iron furnaces o. Cleveland.
For several weeks nearly all the depart
ments of the Cleveland Rolling Mill
Company have been idle and many men
employed in them have been unable to
provide for their families. The Aetna
Min and the Emma Blast Furnace have
also been id'e for about one month, and
it has been estimated that over 900
men haye been idle during the last few
weeks ih Newburg.
Tuesday morning six departments of
the Cleveland Rolling Mills started and
the night .urn of the wire mills also re,
sumed work, thus giving employment
to several hundred idle men. Superin-
tendent Coleman, of the Aetna Mil,
says that mill will also start up in Il.
bout three weeks. The Emma Blast
furnace, which is being thoroughly re-
paired, will commence February l. Sey-
eral departments in the plate mill re.
sumo work in . few days. The rail
mill and the Bessemer steel works are
still idle, but it is thought that these
departments will start up next week.

defeated in the late election. The last

democratic majority of 5. Now the
senate musters 81 republicans and 10

From our Regular Correspondent.

WAsHINGTON,D d. g.. Ian. 14,1SS4.
The comfort that can he extracted
from Mr.. Cleveland's late deliyerance
on civil service reform is general, and
the disposition he is to make of the in
tense partisan employees in particular,
1t is OF the most frigid character. It is
astonishing now to contemplate the
number Of those now in Government
employ who have all along been Demo-
Gratis, the best sort .of Cleveland men,
and who for months if not years have
been dying for change of administra-
tion. 1t is fact, however, that the
contributions from the several thous-
ands of Government employees here
were very small in amount as compar-
ed with former campaigns, but the
boys are all kicking themselves merci-
lessly for not coming forward with
funds enough to saye Mr.. Blaine's and
their own bacon.
really hope that the friends of Mr..
Springer, of Illinois, will convince Mr..
Cleveland of the propriety of having
such man in his Cabinet. If, as is
said, the new administration is to be
vigorous one. whose heads are to be
those of virility, and whose muscles are
to be active and strong, then men like
Mr.. Springer cannot be ignored. He is
most indefatigable worker, a most
profound student in the mazes of states
manship, and best of all man who, in
nearly score of years of public life,
has never had charge of corruption or
double dealing laid at his door. AS
Secretary of the Interior, or indeed as
the possessor of any other portfolio, Mr..
Springer would acquit himself with ac-
ceptance.
1 have just come in from a tour
through the departments, made for the
purpose of satisfying myself that the
Government would be turned over to
Mr.. Cleveland in good shape next
March. Imust say, however, that evil

Keeping Sweet Potatoes.
Iowa Register.


Some years ago, in the colder states, peo'
pie dill not attempt to keep sweet potatoes,
except a few for seei. But in late years
our markets are supplied with choice ones,
as late as May as good as in the previous
October. The means and care required &c
do this are familiar to but limited num-
ber 1t cannot b. easily and cheaply done
on a small scale Those who make a busl'
ness of raising and keeping to supply spring
markets, build houses purposely for sweet
potatoes. They are built so as TO have good
ventilation at such times as the outdoor
temperature will admit. Tha walls are
made frost-proof in various WAYS, some by
building so that 1t can be filled in with
sawdust, and dead air spaces Others
warm their houses with artificial heat,
with stoves, ETC., in which case care has tc
be taken to keep the temperate ture as near
as possible at all times at 90 degrees. In
these houses the potatoes are kept on wide
shelves, arranged from floor to roof, SO
that the potatoes will not be deep on any
one of the shelves but so they can enjoy a
free circulation of air They must be kept
from moisture: Consequently they shoul
not be put in cellars, except extremely dry
ones.
Sweet potatoes should be dug when the
ground is dry, and On clear days and in the
forenoon, AMI left in the sun a few hours,
so they will be perfectly dry. They should
lie carefully handled, so as not to bruisa
them. 1t is recommended to take barrels tc
the field, and plenty of planning mil
shavings. Fut quantity Of shavings in
