The JOURNAL hopes it has not
been mistaken in the mberland
Times. 1t has believed the Times to
be just, though the following para
graph implies something else:
The absence of newspaper quarrels
in this section has produced an almost
painful quiet. AS the JOURNAL would
say, serene and peaceful quiet per-
vades the atmosphere of the Georges
Creek coal region"
The JOURNAL never links synony-
nous terms in the style above given,
nor any other style. To some people,
however, words, like bees, look alike.
Such we cannot please. From those
of the Times class we expect Gust
weight"
In this connection it is to be re-
GREETED that a "serene and peaceful
quiet" should be also can almost
painful quiet"
Verify, there be some things in
rhetoric even worse than actual TAU
tology.

The st. Louis Republican thus
photographs our representative in
Congress "Mr. McComas is a
handsome man. His beauty is
classical-even, regular features, a
perfect Grecian nose, finely chiseled
mouth and chin, complexion clear
white, made paler by the black, we'll
trained moustache and black hair,
which is not always parted straight
or in the middle. He is tall, grace
full, and slender in physique, and
dressed in a business suit that has
the fit of being made to order. Surely
a finer modelled head | never saw"

The Independent, of Cumberland,
says
A letter advertised for William Hon
esty at this postofice is evidently a
mistake, as there is no one living in
this city by that name.
The trouble does not apparently
concern the pranomen. 1t is the
patronymic which the Independent
AYERS as representing chasm in city
society. Coming down to hiatus in
native commodities there is all oppor-
tunity for a similar remark about
"Cumberland coal"

The foreign contract labor bill,
slightly amended, passed the Senate
Wednesday. Its general object is to
prevent the importation Of unskilled
laborers under contract to work for
wages lower than those the laborers
already here demand. Under its
operations there can be no more
"crushings'' of freeborn labor IN this
country by the importatlons of the
poor house produce of Europe.

A GENTLEMAN who has been con-
nected with the Cumberland coal
trade-we mean the Georges Greek
for many years, gives it as his
opinion, in the course Of an extended
interview, that there is u chance for
the better coming over IL: trade.
A change Of policy on the part Of the
B. Il o., that means protection to
this large interest in its fullest sense.
He assured us that the outlook was
for a large increase in tonnage from
the best mines along the valley, and
with the disposition to foster this
trade, the b. Il 0. could earn money,
even at low rate Of toll.-Coal

IT makes a good deal of difference
which road to Washington the visitor
to the Inauguration buys tickets for.
He may make every arrangement to
60 upon a certain train, and upon ar
rival at the depot discovers that his
ticket is not good on that train. He
may find more, and that is, not only
full fare will be exacted, but an extra
charge, which must be paid, or wait
for train on which Inauguration
tickets will be taken. On the B. &
o. there is none of this sort of bust
ness.

The "roller-skating craze" as
some inexperienced people pronounce
it, started in Frostburg. This is not
stated positively as fact, but we do
know that from here it extended to
Cumberland, thence to Mesopotamia
and the regions beyond. And now,
just as it is about subduing the
United States and looking to the
world for conquest, great religious
outcry is coming up againstit. This
appears to be unnecessary. The
frenzy has left Frostburg and we are
now "well of it" In due time it
will run its course elsewhere and the
country will settle down to business.
Besides, the gospel should always
begin at Jerusalem.

. THE steady speed and the long runs
made by the ''limited" trains on the
b. & O. is the secret Of the unparall-
sled time they accomplish. There is
no terrific speed made Or any reckless
running whatever attempted. To
The contrary, the average rate per
hour is not 50 remarkably fast, but
the trans don't stop for fifty Or more
miles at clip, and this is the way
they make time.

MINING JOURNAL.
Saturday Morning, Feb. Fl, 1885.

N>e~y
In our weather bureau, lately dis
cardsd, there was, it is to be confess
cd, much exercise of the art of
reasoning from the known to tho
unknown. On this account chiefly
representations were confined to one
department of physics, and that the
most difficult-msteorology. Just
what has been ascertalned in that
field of discovery is not for us here to
betrsy. Suffice it to say, however, 1t
is within the domain of study to de-
termine prospsctlvely with some de-
gree of certainty matters of more
moment to humanity than weather
changes.
The public economist, therefore,
who announces the coming of a slow
but sure revival Of trade is a prophet
Of more honor in his own country
than the grounding.
The millers of -four who declare
that the consumption of oatmeal will
ultimately undermine popular health
may be suspected of a crusade, never
theless their known knowledge of the
value of the higher cereals will in
duce many dietetic practitioners to
repudiate their experience, and thus
the millers will bring about precisely
all they design if not al they predict.
Newspapers frequently warn the
public that an era Of lynching will
soon set in. The superficial thinker
concludes that this notion is pred
icated upon multiplication Of vigi-
1antes, when, in fact, the prophecy
goes back to cause more remote
the growing laxity of criminal adj
mlnistration in our courts.
When physician alleges that the
birthrate of boys is as two to one of
girls his superstitious hearers declare
it a sure sign of war; per contra, an
equally credible forerunner of peace.
The scientist accepts the statement
with some degree Of appreciation be-
cause nature by rule provides for loss
or maintenance of equilibrium be-
tween and in all her provinces.
There are enthusiasts who perceive
in the wide prospect of future times
scene of universal peace, when "the
lion shall lie down with the lamb"
for even now it is known there is per-
feet amity between tho frog and
snake after the swallowing.
We might extend this series of H.
Illustrations without further en-
phasizing the correlative character
of unseen forces, those CANCELS and
ministers of grace" who reign in tho
realm of matter, but enough has been
shown to prove that the lot of
prophet, like that of a policeman, sis
not a happy one" He must challenge
the credulity of the skeptical, the
old fogyism of the mossbacks, the
fancies of the superstitious and the
ignorance Of the learned.
In the far future, however, the lib
eral annalist of science will apologize
for the infdelities of the nineteenth
century. He will discover in our
attainments variety of infantile
movements, and in our searches for
hidden causes embryonic struggles
for light. Among these the inquests
into combinations which 60 to make
weather by rule as infallible as the
law of gravitation will take It's place.

WHEN the B. & 0. announced its
rates for the inauguration, it meant
that the tickets should be good on all
trains. 1t is the only line upon
winch the inauguration tickets will
be good upon limited express trains.

Ayers Sarsaparilla.

Since then mr.. LELAND has recommended
AYERS SARsAPARILLA in many similar
cases, and he has never yet heard of its fail
ure to effect q radical cure.
Some years ago one of Mr.. GLANDS farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. IIor-
rible itching of tho skin, with burning and
darting pains through the lump, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor-
mously enlarged and running ulcers formed,
dischargng great quantities of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was of any
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELAND's direc-
ton, was supplied with AYERS SARsAPA-
R1LIA, which allayed the pain and irritation,
healed tho sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb to use.
