PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. 23.-Late last
night Emma Merlotin, a French courte-
san. aged 30, was found dead in a cottage
occupied alone by herself, with twelve
wounds, all above the shoulders, nine of
which we're necessarily fatal. The head
and face were literally hacked to pieces
The object was robbery, but it is doubtful
if the murderer got much, as the deceased
kept her money in the bank. She had
resided in Portland five years and had two
brick houses The coroner's inquest
throws no light on the case.

found, and nine miners beside them
were missing, including Ben Burnley.
Then Walter came wildly up to the sur
face, wringing his hands with agony,
and crying "They are lost! they are
lost"
NO." cried BARLEY; "they must not
be lost; they shall not be lost. One man
has come to himself. L gave him port
wine and brandy" Then he dragged
the young man into the tent. There
was stout Jim Davies prOpped up and
held, but with great tumbler of brandy
and port in his hand.
screamed, BARLEY, tell him where Hope
is, and Mary-that oh, God! oh,
GOd!'
Master" said jim, family, Il was in
the hall with Mr.. Hope and the lady
when the frsteXplosiOn came. Most of
us ran past the old shaft and got clear.
A few was caught by the falling shaft,
for l looked back and saw it. But L
never saw Master Hope among them.
If he was, he is buried under the shaft;
but do really think that he was that
taken up with his girl, and that darned
villain that fired the mine, as he's like
to be in the hall, either alive or dead"
He could say no more, but fell into
sort of doZe, the result of the powerful
stimulant on his enfeeblcd frame and
empty stomach. Then BARLEY, with
trembling hands, brought out map of
the mine and showed Walter where the
second party had got to.
"See," said he. "they are within twen-
ty feet of the bottom, and the hall is
tweIlty-three feet high. Hope measur-
ed it. Give up working downward,
pick into the sides of that hall, for in
that hall see them at night; sometimes
they are alive, sometimes they are dead,
sometimes they are dying. | shall go
mad! shall go madl"
With this lie went raging about, Civ
ing the widest orders, with the looks
and tones of Il madman. In minute
he had cage ready for Walter. and
twenty fresh-lit lamps, and down went
Walter with more men ana pickaXeS.
AS soon as he got out of the cage he
cried wildly, Stop that, men, and do as L
do"
He took a sweep with his pick, and
delivered horizontal blow ut the clay
on that side of the shaft BARLEY had
told him to attack. His pickaXe stuck
in it, and he eXtricated il with difficulty.
NAY, master" cried Il miner who had
fallen in love with him. drive thy pick
at t. coal"
Walter then observed that above the
clay there was n narrow seam of coal:
he heaved his pick again, but instead of
striking it half downward, as he ought
to have done, he delivered a tremendous
horizontal blow that made the coal ring
like church bell, and Jared his own
stout arms so terribly that the pick fell
out of his numbed hand.
Then the man who had advised him
saw that he was disabled for time,
and stepped into his place.
But in that short interval an incident
occurred so strange and thrilling that
the stout miners uttered treble cries
like women, and then one mighty
"Hah~ burst like diapasOn from their
manly bosoms.

Earnings of Gustave Bore.


 It was a strong conviction with Gustave Dore that he was without honor, particularly in his own country, but still we find it re- corded that he received between the years 1850 and 187O-when he was but young man, having been born in 1S32-nearly sev- en millions of francs two hundred and eigh- ty thousand pounds sterling) for his illustra- tions; and his pictures, purchased for the Dore gallery or privately, realized some sixty thousand pounds more. M. Bordelin records that he has seen Dore earn ten thousand francs in single morning working on blocks for French and English publishers and peri odicals. And that this form of recognition was the one which was the most real to him we may gather from the fact that Che nearly had a convulsion one day on hearing that Meissonier had received two hundred thou sand francs for single picture" ''What," he exclaimed, "a thing like that! Now look at me- I can paint; I know I could paint better than Meissonier at any rate Have ever been paid two hundred thousand francs for anything? No, and I never shall be. The fact is that no one understands me" Still he was not above the clouds, only impa- tient, for we find him, in later conversa- tion with M Kratz. saying that he fears that if he goes to England he will lose Hmuch of the influence and prestige I now possess in France" In almost all his dealings Dore was too blind to the greatness of his genius as an illustrator, and far too prone to believe too much in his powers as 8 painter. In a great measure those immediately around him were to blame for this, his mothor especially spelling him. One illustration will serve. lie had painted twelve colossal canyases of ssParis as it is,' full of sickening realism. Theophile Gautier was speculating on the

A VERY DIFFICULT PROBLEm
 The chief of the Pennsylvania labor bu- reau has strong objections to the influx of Hungarian laborers into the iron and coal mining districts of the State. He finds that they come to America only to earn money, and are disadvantage to every community in which they locate, as their earnings to the extent of three-fourths or more, are sent to Hungary and are permanently lost to the State. They live, he says more like brutes than like human beings, twenty to thirty huddling together in cheerless shanties,. liv- ing on the cheapest of food, even to the of fal from the slaughter-houses; wearing their single suits of cheap clothing from the time they arrive here until their departure for home, three or four years later A Hun garian figures that he support himself on $1 week. and he succeeds in doing so, in his miserable way. He will hire himself to do mans work at boys wages-getting the place of some better man, who may re- main idle. The Hungarian's ambition is satisfied if he reaches s20 to $25 per month By his rigid economy he can save from $600 to $1, 900 in three or four years, and he re- turns home to live in idleness on the income from his money loaned to the pauper people of his land st high interest for small sums, often up to 16 per cent. America is the Par adise of the Hungarian, as well as some other Europeans. But when he has scraped the gold he can from American streets, he hies him home to his native land to stay. America, as nation, has not benefited by him; some rich coal proprietor has.
 This is severe and probably truthful in- dictment of Hungarian cheap labor It seems to be quite as bad as Chinese cheap labor. What can be done about ita The HungAri- ans can @ forbidden to this country, but that would be against the idea which un- derlies our government. There is reason to believe that we are too free, but how to make any change that will do any good is very difficult problem. We have, however, made a beginning by trying to keep out the Chi nese. Shall we now declare against the Hun garians, the Poles, the Italians and other Eu- ropeans who come here to work cheapa Or shall we continue to let everybody come here that wants to and trust to luck and the Amer jean eagle for the consequences?

Correspondence of the Boston Transcript.1
 Artists whose names have become famous among all nations, and whose paintings sell fer large sums of money, are greatly per plexed to know how they can protect them selves from the fraudulent practices of pie ture-makers who are unknown and who live by counterfeiting the works and signatures of others. The extent to which this fraud is now being carried on is causing considerable comnIotion in artistic circles in Paris. The manufacture of works by old masters has been an industry of long standing, but the fraud, which consists of palming off imita- tions of living masters as their genuine pro- ductions, is a comparatively recent growth. Although the deception is frequently detect ed, the w-onged artists can obtain no redress from the law. It is always impossible to prove that the dealer who sold the counter felt was not himself the victim of deception. AS for the artist who painted the picture, he, of course, can never be found, unless it be by some singular accident, such that rela ted by Paris picture-dealer of Deeamps and one of his pupils. "One day." said the mar rator, ia collector entered Decamp's studio in my presence, and producing picture bearing the masters signature, asked him if it was authentic. Decamps saw at glance that it was the work of one of his pupils named P, who happened also to be wit ness of the scene. P. was youth with a certain amount of talent, but always dread fully hard up. Decamps found excuses for him and forgave him. Turning to the visi- tor he replied, Yes, it is my picture When the stranger had left, delighted at having made good bargain, Decamps quietly said to his pupil, This time we will let it pass, my dear F., but don't do it again. F., much affected, threw himself at Deeamps' knees and swore by all that was solemn that he would not do it again. And he kept his word" Brussels is the great center of the counterfeit picture industry. In inst city the number of artists always at their wits end to live from day to day is larger even than in Paris, and it has been stated by 8 person competent to give an opinion on the subject that most of the pseudo paintings that travel over the world are turned out os hand by these interruptions Belgians. A very common fraud is to buy unfinished studies of well-known masters at the Hotel des Ventes, finish them and sell them as completed pictures by the artists.

Their majority for prohibition was somewhat larger than the majority in the city against it, and therefore Atlanta would not have ''gone dry'' but for the vote of those places, which was illegal and invalid.
