Death of CAPTAIN James IL. Smith.

Captain James B. Smith, well known as
the leader of the Old Amory Band and
afterwards of the First Regiment Band,
died yesterday Captain Smith had been
in i'll health for a long time. He served
in the Mexican War, and in his day was
one of the best-known band members in
the country. He was genial, whole
soued man, and his death will not only
be regretted, but will recall recollections
of other and brighter days.

A Cautious, if not Expeditions, Work
man.

Much amusement was afforded the
by-standers at the City Hall yesterday
by the manner in which one of the
employees worked He was colored
man from the country, and was Ostensi-
bly, engaged in ramming dirt around the
foundation of the northeast corner of
the building First he would make about
four ticks with the hammer in his right
hand, then he would glance up at the
derrick almost over his head to make
sure that no stone was being lowered in
his direction. Then he would make three
or four feeble ticks with the hammer in
bis left hand, and glance at the derrick
again. This was kept up pretty much all
the morning, dividing his time of looking
at the derrick and working with one
hand at the time, in the proportion of
about three TO one in favor of the derrick.
When demonstrated with, he replied,
"Boss, | amt afeerd; but Pm mighty
skeered Of being hit by one of dem dar
Stones"

The anthracite coal trade continues
active, though the pressing demand for
the immediate delivery of cargoes of
coal slackened last week, owing to the
mildness of the weather. There is no
accumulated stock of coal at Port Rich
mOnd, the total quantity of anthracite
on hand at that shipping port on Satur-
day morning being but 10000 tons, and
vessels were there awaiting its shipment
of the East. The Reading Company is
unable to fill its old orders, and new
ones are constantly being refused, as it
has not sufficient coal to supply them.
Last week the Reading Company was
reported TO be endeavoring to purchase
in the New York market a large daily
supply of stove coal to fill pressing
orders. Full prices are firmly maintain
ed, excepting for few OF the poorer
grades of coal, and in some instances for
stove size. but the change in the weather
will probably quicken the demand again
for that size, and consequently will
stiffen the price. The line and city trade
is in good shape, and is taking its full
share of the coal coming forward from
the mines.

Saved by a ohild,s Hymn.

There was a very wretched home
where drunken father dwelt with one
little girl, his only child. He took no
care OF either her body or soul, but left
her to grow up as she could. Someone,
however, had led her to the Sabbath
School, and there she learned to love
Jesus, and sing His praises. So she often
cheered herself in her miserable home by
singing her Sabbath School hymns as she
went about her tasks, which her father
misconduct madeso heavy. One day he
was within the house sleeping off his
drunkenness, when waking up he heard
her as she went to and fro, singing softly,
There is happy land
Far, far away"
Yes he said to himself, &" it must be
far away for her, poor thing; it cannot
be here with me-" And the thought,
like a heavenly seed fallen into his heart,
wrought and sprung up, till he asked to
be taught by the little singer, and became
himself little child, saved by child g
hymn. By-and-by the song from her
lips ceased on earth, but she went not
away home TO Christ till she knew that
she had left one behind who would sing
the strain all the more fondly, that he
would think of her as gone to the " far
country, and of himself as following
thither.-SeJected.

A Moslem School in svria.

Lately, the mother of three girls,
through some influence brought to bear
upon her by the Moslems, made a solemn
VOW that her girls should attend school
no more, and sent them to tell their
teacher. She told the children, "All
you can do is to pray to God to change
your mothers heart and [ will pray
also.
They said they would but added,
Mother cannot change now, because she
has made VOW, and would have to pay
great deal Of money to the Sheikh. J"
Time passed on. Behold one morning,
there we're the girls in their usual places.
The teacher saw the elder one was very
eager to tell her something, and gave her
an opportunity.
Then she burst out, quite excited, CT
know God hears prayers. Yes l know ;
now / know. Every day I have been
going TO quiet place at the top Of the
