The Briceville Affair.

The miners at Briceville, Tenn, are ter
ribly in earnest. They do not want to have
conflict with the militia Of the state, and
their evident intention is to avoid one At
the same time they do not intend to work in
competition with the convlcts of the state.
1t is stated that tho coal companies who
lease the convicts from the state do not deal
fairly with the miners They compel the
miners to work on the least productive of
the coal veins while the most productive
are worked by the convicts. The result is
that the miners are not able to earn more
than 81 day each.
By this method the coal companies are
able to make great deal more money than
they would il the miners were given a
chance to work in the most productive
mines. The convicts cost the coal companies
| only q cents day each, and, hence, it is to
the interest Of the companies TO keep them
| in the mines in which coal is mined with the
| least difficulty
1t has been expected for some time that
the discomfort of the miners would take the
shape it has. Among them and, in fact,
among all GLASSES of laboring people in Ten
nessee, there is feeling of hostility against
convict labor. They feel that convict labor
cheapens their labor, and to certain ex-
tent it does. An illustration of how it does
is seen at the Bricevile mines
Itwould not be surprising if this Brice-
vile affair should bring about change in
the convict system in Tennessee. And a
change in that state would be followed by
a change in other states which have the
lease system. The system is not salts
factory one. To find a substitute for it,
however, that will not be burdensome to
the people. is an unsolved problem.
It'll probable that eventually the con-
victs will have to be hired out to the diff
ferent counties to be employed in making
and repairing roads. They could be en-
ployed in no other way that would result in
SO much benefit to the public, and which,
at the same time would be open to so little
objection from the laboring classes.

Crpheus and Eurydice.
Jules Reumonde IN 1enlnls Rnr

"nen Orpheus went down to the regions below
Which men are forbidden to see,
He tuned up his Tyre, as old histories show
To set has Fury dice free
Allhell was astonished a person SO wise
Should rashly endanger his life,
And venture so far-but how vast their surprise
When they found that he came for his wife!
To find out punishment due for his fault,
Old Pluto long puzzled his brain;
But nell had not tOrments sufficient he thought
So he gave him his wife back again.
But pity succeeding soon vanquiShed his heart
And pleased with his playing so we'll,
He took her again, in reward OF his art,
Such power had music in hell!

How the Kangaroo Firht is,

The kangaroo fights with great ad-
dress and intelligence, and if he can find
a stream or water hole in which to await
his foes will station himself waist deep
in it, and pushing the dogs under one by
one as they swim out to attack him
either drown them outright or compel
them to retire for want of breath.
Against human enemies, armed only
with clubs or stirrup irons, the kangaroo
often shows himself clever boxer, ward
ing off blows very dexterously with his
forepaws, and now and then making for
ward bounds, with rapid play of his dam
gerous hind feet, which are difficult to
avoid.-Boston Journal.

Oriental Students in london.

The superior orientals in London are
almost exclusively from India, except
such as represent diplomacy; and they
include two classes-men of business and
students. The former are few, but rep
resent very large commercial interests.
The latter number about 200. They
have their headquarters at the North
brook club in Whitehall Gardens, Of
which the majority are members. The
practice of sending young Indians to
study in England is increasing. They
come from all parts of India and include
Mahommedans, Hindoos and Parsees.
The luxury Of Il European education is
not to be had for nothing, and as a mat
ter of course only men Of means can in
dulge in it.
These young fellows are, as rule, ex-
tremely intelligent, with charming man
ners, and they speak English admirably
far better than most European for
eigners who have lived for many years in
England. They study law and medicine
in London: but some go to Cooper's Hill
for the engineering service and others to
Cirencester for agriculture. The English
universities, and Edinburgh also, have
their contingent. In nearly all cases
they go back to practice i'll India, but of
late tendency to settle here has been
visible. The only other eastern country
which occasionally sends us Il similar
class is Japan.-St. James Budget.

The sum of e15,0OO paid by Mr.. Blum
dell Maple to Lord Abingdon and Sir f.
tombstone us the purchase money of
Common is the highest price ever paid in
England for horse. 1t is commonly re-
ported that the Duke of Westminster
received larger sum for Ormonde from
South America, though Gl2, 900 was prob
ably nearer the price. Moreover, Signor
Ginistrelli was offered 100000 for Sig
norma, and the Duke of Portland still
higher price for Donovan, but in these
cases the offers were refused.
When the Duke of Westminster paid
e14, 900 for Doncaster-the highest price
given in England for Il race horse before
Common was sold-people were almost
shocked at his temerity and extrava-
gance, and yet it has been calculated
that the duke made a net profit of $780,
600 out of the transaction.
Sires of known merit such as ST..
Simon, Hermit and Isonomy are gold
mines to their fortunate owners, and in
these days of excessive turf competition
a horse who has run well but has yet a
reputation to make at the stud will bring
in thousands before he has proved either
a success or failure.-London Tit-Bits.

Poor duck! Poor Bones! The duck
struggled. Bones took tirmer grip.
The duck struggled harder. Bones gave
hurried gulp, and, to his own dismay
as we'll as to the ducks, the duck went
down Bones throat and never came up
again.
The shout of laughter which greeted
his exploit was too much for Bones. He
ran out faster than he came in. His
stomach and his conscience both trou-

necessary to say, Duck, Bones!" to see

preston of doggish shame, caused by
the remembrance of his unintentional
