one of the largest coal operators in the Hooking
Valley:
COL. RESD's STATEMENT.
"The Hooking Valley railroad COMPANY.
together with the leading coal operators along
its line. commenced over six months aro an
onslaught of outrageous oppression upon the

to earn on watered stocks and inflated bonds.
To carry out this selfish scheme a convention

the reduction. and condemned what / con-

A Timely Hint To Architects.

from the Philadelphia Times.
An architect who builds a modern dwelling
should never let it pass out Of his hands till he
has chosen the window curtains. Many good
exterior is ruined in these days by the want of
taste of the owners or tenants or Of the uphol-
sterers they employ. What tasteless things peo-
pie choose to do inside their houses is their own
affair." but the public exhibition of bad taste is an
ofense that ought not to be tolerated. When
little muslin curtains, tit for cottage bedroom.
are displayed in the windows of an elaborate
and beautiful city house, they not only give
away the occupant. but are a positive distress to
the passer-by. Some of the curtains and other
complicated window arrangements now to be
seen in fashionable streets are marvels of I'M
suttableneSS Sometimes they seem to have
been designed for dolls house. sometimes fOI
kitchen, sometimes for coffin. Rarely have
they any relation to external fitness. and they
make one regret the good old days of Venetian
blinds and Holland shades which at least Were
inOffensive.

A Russian POiySamiSt.

From the Liverpool Courier.
A few days ago an officer Of the Russian
army, named Stchebrovsky, was tried at Odessa
on the charge of polygamy. He had married
three women in less than three years. The Sec
ond wife was called as witness but refused
to testify against him; said there was not such
another man in the world, and declared that
she loved him still. Tile prisoner found an elo-
Quent defender in Prince Mestchersky who. in
brilliant speech, invoked the example of Ivan.
The Terrible and other distinguished historic
characters TO prove that man may rightly have
several wives at the same time. But his master
stroke was an appeal to theletter OF the Russian
law. Which, though il declares bigamy to be
penal offense, is silent as to polygamy; and the
jury, taking the same view of the question. re-
turned verdict of not guilty. Stchebrovsky
thereupon quilted the court amid the applause
of the audience, with the second Madam Stche-
brovsky hanging on his arm.

No more incsive, or more timely, literary
critism has been recently made than that by
Joel Chandler Harris in his paper in the Current
on the American Type" wherein he declares
that the American character is seen and known
at its best in the rural regions; but it is fatal
weakness OF American literature that our novel
lists and story-writers can perceive only the
comic side of what they are pleased to term
provincial life" for it is always fatal weak
ness to see what is to be seen. We lift our hat
in salutation. too, to the author of the 'Unce
Remus Papers," who has the courage to say: aft
is well enough to know the manners. customs
and dialects Of classes and communities, but
prescriptions and descriptions of these things
give neither value nor permanence to fiction"
chief of dialect writer's has the honesty to thus
record his convictions. A wager would have
been safe to the maker that neither Bret Harte,
Mark Twain. nor most writers Of that stripe"
would have had the courage to say it, even if
they had ever entertained that truth.
