coal taken from this vein is the very
finest blacksmith coal. fully equal to the
famed Cumberland coal from which the
mine derives its name. Just across aravihe

Charles Fisher, of Shoalwater bay, was in
tie city yesterday. Mr.. Fisher is moving
hss store from BRIDGEPORT, the Oldest town
or the bay, to Toke's Point, an eligible
location near the entrance to the bay.
BRIDGEPORT was founded under Pc
cuiiar circum stances. Five men in
San Francisco fitted out the
schooner Robert Brhce and in December OF
ISL sailed INTO Shoaiwater bay and en-
gagged the Indians (no white people living
there at that time) to gather them a cargo
OF oysters. The second night OF their stay,
the cook, who had a spite against
the crew, set fire to the vessel
and fed in small boat The
vessel with all its contents
burned and the five men thus ruthlessly
cast upon wild shore, began the first town
north of the Columbia nnder the name of
BRIDGEPORT. 1t was quite place once but
it has long since lacked lie. II will soon
be known only in legend.

the Presentation Convent, at Youghal have assiduously stfiven for fifty years to not only secure the best copies from the most famous lace-makers of southern Europe, but have insisted upon nsver-ending instruction of learners. Dealing direct with the importing houses of America, they have been able to pay the best wages known in Ireland fer wo- mons labor. This fifty years of effort has also brought most magnificent artistic re suits. "Irish point, :" as the YouRhal lace is called, is practically perfected into an erfgi- nal combination of old and modern stitches, closely resembling, and iu many instances far superior to, some of the rarest specimens of Milan; and it is doubtful If to-day there can be found rarer, more exquisitsly and marvelously designed work than comes from hundreds of homes of the sunny wales of Cork and Waterford. There is also 6 black lace in silk and a white lace in thread, both "pillow lacss," made by the peasant women about the sleepy old town of Tallow, from instructions during the last half century by the nuns of St. Joseph's Convent at that place. From the most conservative estf- mates, 1t would seem that twenty thousand women in Ireland are constantly employed in the various forms of lace-making; seven ty-hve thousand are at work in the linen spinning and weaving mills; twenty-five thousand are employed in embroidery alone; and from seventy-fve to one hundred thou sand in such pursuits as knitting, shirt making, hem stitching, finishing, laundrying and boxing; or in round numbers, two hun dred thousand Irish women in homes and factories are endlessly striving to hold their hovel homes and their beloved Ireland together, on wages which will not exceed an average of four shillings per week. These wages could easily be doubled and trebled by technical instruction. Yet the English government, while billeting nearly twenty thousand constabulary upon the country, has never thought best to expend single 'arthtng in the establishment of technical 'chools. or in any form of instruction, to 'aise these willing, bright, noble working rish women from ont of the endless slaye- v with which misgovernment has hope- essly encompsssed them.

A Pre.Eve-fte Age.

A Pre.Eve-fte Age. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER: In the annual struggle for the election of 8 fellow of Yale corporation the writer's func- tion has hitherto been of the simplest acqui- essence. With a disposition to say "Certain- !y'' to all corners, the first appeal for can- didste, bolstered by the usual battalion of respectable names, has received his vote. The docility of gentle Jane, who s'always did as she was told," has been equalled by the readiness with which he has endorsed his ballot blank "as on the 26th of June" and forwarded it to the wire pullers.
 He does SO no more. He has been visited by revelation of ideas which have exhibited ale college and other eastern seats of learn. ing in the slough of pre-eve-ite existence. He perceives that the mono-sexual system of education is vicious in it's moral and weak and inadequate in it's intellectual results. while the Alma Mater with blessings only for boys appears in the light Of an unnatural mother and very objectionable old woman.
 Is Yale irrational, or merely inerts Can she consistently sanction co-education in art and deny it in Greek. Has she any chair of science or philosopy able to find a respecta- ble pretext for the closure of her doors against girl studentsa Can a ons-sex college possibly be true university.
 Henceforth the writer votes for 10 "Fel- low" who has not liberal ideas on co-educa- tion. He hopes to outlive the pre- e-Eve-ite period, and see others in the enjoyment of time when the term "onesex college" shall be thought as belittling as ''one-horse town"
 It is truth which may grate harshly upon prejudiced ears, but we feel it our duty to utter 1t. A one-sex college can afford only low education to either sex.

THE LEGxSLATURE.

At last the legislature is going to adjourn and to- o-day-thst is, if nothing happens to prevent. It is much to be hoped that noth- ing will, for the people of this State have never been more tired of law-making and law-unmaking than they are now.
 The session of the legislature-the first under the biennial plan-has been notable one. And it must be said that 1t doesn't make very strong argument for biennial sessions. The theory was that stronger men would be elected, that there would be less foolish and useless legislation, and that the sessions would be no longer than the annual ones were. This theory has been pretty well demolished. A theory is now finding favor that session about once in five years would be the right thing.
 It is needless to recapitulats what has been done and what has not been done. The chief interest has been in the big railroad fight, and it is generally admitted, now that 1t is ever, that 1t came out about right. Con- necticut dees not need parallel road, nor does it need any more such fnancieripg as has been carried on by the owners of the Housatonic and Derby railroads
 The State has been fortunate in having Governor Bulkeley at the head of affairs. He has attended very carefully to the work of the legislature, and by his courageous and well-supported vetoes has done much good. With such legislature as we have had this year e clesr-sighted and firm gov ernor IS something to be highly appreciated.

ed on the Australian plan, and an orpanizs. tion called the Ballot Act league has been made in order to secure its effective opera. tion by circulating information concernine
 its provisions, and securing the observance of
 the law in it's spirit and details. The princi- pal objection to the adoption of the Austra-
 lian system of voting has been the difficulty
 which the average voter is called upon to
 meet in exercising his rights under it's pro-
 visions. With the aid of such a body as tha
 Ballot Act league 8 great deal ought to be
 accomplished in the direction of removing
 this objection.
 The prospectus of the proposed Congo rail- road is interesting. It appears that the esti- mated cost is about five million dollars. or something less than twenty thousand dollars a mile; that it will not be necessary to im- port laborers to construct it, since plenty of good workmen can be obtained on the spot; that it is proposed at first to provide only one train. will be constantly in motion up and down the road, making the round trip of five hundred and twenty four miles in six days; that the rates of freight and passage will be fixed at the present cost of two hundred dol lars ton up, forty dollars a ton down, and one hundred dollars passenger, and the in- come from these will make the investment profitable if there should be no increase of ;raffic, and not much increase could be ex- 3ected with those rates.

A sHGNIFIOANT RFY0LT.

The revolt against Romanism in Canada is becoming decidedly interesting. The act passed by the legislature of Quebec appropri- ating $400,000 of provincial funds to the Jesuits and other ecclesiastical bodies and practically nullifying the cenfscation of their estates at the time of the English Conquest of Quebec has made great stir. A great gath ering of prominent Presbyterians, Methodists, Baptists, Congregationalists and adherents of the Church of England has been in session in Toronto. Nearly nine hundred delegates from all parts of Ontario, wisE1 limited rep. resentation from five other provinces, re. sponded to the call of the Citizens committee of Toronto. All were leading men in their localities. Many wero ecclesiastics high in the councils of their churches. There were college professors and eminent lawyers and some politicians of experience. They vowed to drop politics until the cause of civil and religious liberty was put beyond peril and until every member of parliament who voted against the disallowance of the Jesuit act had been put to political death.
 It is believed by good judges that the vot- CTS represented by this gathering will really be able to do something. The situation is thus outlined by correspondent of the New York Times: Protestants and English in the Dominion have permitted the French to do as they please, not only in French Quebec, but in all the other provinces where they have any considerable following of their race, and the politicians are constantly on their knees to this French idol It is now proposed by large body of independent men in the English provinces to change this order of things, and the chances are that they will succeed. They talk Of doing everything by Constitutional means" and no doubt they will if they can. It was thought by many good men that the interference with slavery in your slave States was outside the eonstitu- tion, but good many others said they did not care whether it was or not There are thousands here who feel about the same way in regard to this Quebec question. Quebec is our South" It has undertaken to rule this confederation by standing together as a solid phalsnx whenever its peculiar interests and these interests have always been op. posed to the general interests-were to be promoted
