the life and character Of the deceas-
ed, and especially to the little orphan
girls who are the wards OF Senator and
Mrs. Sabin, were most beautiful and touch
ing. The little girls placed upon the graves
OF their dead father and mother beautiful
wreaths of immortelle provided by Mrs.
Sabin and other sarlands o! flowers, the
gifts OF distant friends. Even the stalwart
grave-diggers wiped away tears, while the lit.
tie walls were sobbing as though their hearts
would break, while C%linging to their new
parents, the senator and Mrs. Sabin. with
Il devotion and intensity that made it a
scene indeed touching. The little girls are
respectively six and seven years old. They
have been with Mrs. Sabin since the death
oil their mother, over IL year ago, and tits n
question which is the mostdevotcd, the lit
tie girls to Mrs. Sabin or Mrs. Sabin to the
orphans. Surely their lives have fallen in
pleasant places, having q lovely home in
addition to the tender devotion OF both
the senator and his %estimable wife, who
have no children OF their own. The or.
phans can receive but a mere stipend from
the estate OF their father.

The failure of the large firm of A. p. Mar
tinl& Co., shoe manufacturers, and the largest
wholesale and commission dealers in New
England. is said to have been caused by la
Dor troubles in the firms shoe factories at
Hudson. The Knights of Labor extorted
higher wages than the firm could afford to
pay: and the inevitable result followed. In
no business in New England have there
been so many labor troubles as in the manu-.
facture Of shoes. The disputes and strikes
in Brockton, Plymouth, Skowhegan, Norway
and in fact nearly every place where a peg
has been driven by anyone else but the vii
lage cobbler, have kept the business in a
state of uncertainty. Some remarkable dis
aster was TO be expected. 1t may be unfair
to lay the whole blame Of this state of things
on to the Knights of Labor. 1t gener-
ally takes two to make quarrel. But it is,
under all conditions, unreasonable for an
employe to demand more than the employer
can give: and this is what the shoemakers
have been doing in many places. There must
be better understanding between the two
parties if the business is to flourish.

The vacillating policy of the British min
istry towards Ireland is accounted for in
large measure by dissensions existing
among the Tory leaders. Lord Churchill, as
swell known, has inclined to liberal policy
toward Ireland. Indeed, some of his
speeches indicated that he was ready to 60
almost as far as Mr. Gladstone himself in
the direction of Cancellation. Lord Salisbury,
on the other hand is in favor of coercion pure
and simple. With these two factions in the
cabinet pulling in opposite directions it is
easy to see why no policy is steadily pur
sued One gets the upper hand and then the
other. The coercionists have their innings
and then the conciliationists. OF course a
ministry differing so radically in the opinion
of its members must go to pieces before long.

The st. John Globe has pointed out that
the people or Maine have in their savings
banks as much money as the inhabitants of
the whole Dominion of Canada have in their
postal and savings banks. The fault ought
not to be with the banks of Canada, for I'M
der the system in operation in the Dominion
the depositor has the whole country as Sc
curity, the money placed in the banks being
used and guaranteed by the government.
But the bank deposits may NOS be conclu-
siye indication of the relative condition of
prosperity in the two countries. For various
reasons the habit of deposting in savings
institutions may not have become so popular
in Canada as in Maine; the Canadians may
dlstrust their own government, with its huge
debt and discontinued provinces, or they may
have ways of using their money which they
consider more profitable. And yet admit
ting all these conditions. there is a prepon-
derance Of reasons for believing that their
accumulated savings are signs that the peo-
pie Of Maineare much more prosperous than
their Canadian neighbors.

The Marine Journal, which is published in

to pander somewhat to local sentiment,
struggles hard to say something in favor of

constrained to admit that if there was no
other question than the safety of the ship
and cargo involved it would be content to
leave the matter of employing pilot to the
masters and owners Of American ships. But,
it adds, there are questions of police and
health involved" Pilots, it says, are in
structed to act as inspectors under the health
laws. That is merely incidental, however

Col Morton's views in regard to the policy
of free ships will, it is said, be likely to have
considerable bearing on the question of shis
confirmation. Up to the time of his nomin-
alton the Colonel probably had no views on
the subject at ALL He was not interested in
navigation and had no accession to study the
subject. 1t is not probable therefore that
the Senate win feel obliged to reject him on
account of any views on the free ship ques-
tion. 1t may, and ought, to feel obliged to
reject him, however, ON the ground that he
doesn't know anything about navigation and
therefore is not competent to fill an office that
deals with it exclusively.

AN ANCIENT TUNNEL.
A Hunters Discovery while Chasing n
Wounded Mountain Lion.

Cheyenne (Sy. IT, letter.
Jere 7. Miller, while hunting along Eth
creek, n stream i'm the Rsttlesnake noun
thins, discovered an extraordinary tunnel
under n wild and picturesque fall. Miller
had badly wounded a mountain lion. The
animal retreated in the direction Of the
waterfall. Following closely the hunter
saw his crippled quarry disappear be-
tween two high rocks, which raised them
selves on the edge of the deep pool formed
by the falling waters. Approaching, the
pursuer found IN opening scarcely wide
enough 90 admit OF his entrance. Fear
lessly entering, he found himself in a
wile-vaulted passage dimly lighted by
cracks and seams overhead. This passage,
though rude, was substantial, and was
evidently the work OF human hands. Pro-
eeeding along the subterranean way In
which he thus unexpectedly founl him.
SELF the hunter soon heard above him O
mufiied heavy roar that could only come
from falling water. He was standing di-
rectly under the Elk falls. The passage
now widensd and deep grottos appeared
on each side Of it. Examining these
were mining excavations. The
copper, and many chunks Of ore largely
bearing that mineral were scattered about,
and IL was plain that masses OF it bad
been removed. For n quarter of a mile
Ga csc grottocs continued. The passage
now began to trend upward, and the seek
er beneSth the mountains soon found him
self in a ci'cubr chamber, hewn out of
solil rock and fitted up with rude smelt-
ing appliances.
The light Of day ST. canned in from sever
al apertures pierced overhead, and from
the floor Of the chamber 70 one OF these
openings reached a stone chimney. With
this chimney was connected stone fur
mace, situated in the center OF the apart
meut, and whose capari ous interior was
blNckened by the smoke Of fires klndled
ages ago. A small pile Of copper ore was
still in front q the furnace, heavy stone
hammer, used in breaking the larger
chunks, lay on the floor, while some cellar
wood was piled In one corner. One OF the
openings In the roof was larger than the
others, and hos evidently been connected
by n rude ladder OF staircase, long ago
roted away, with the interior Of the
chamber. This was the mode Of ingress
and egress, and Us shown by the worn and
