True Greatness.

I'm the sight of God, greatness
does not depend on the extent OF ones
sphere, or on effects produced, but on
the power OF virtue in the soul, the
energy with which the will OF God is
performed, the spirit in which trials
are borne, and the earnestness with
which goodness and duty are loved
and pursued.n

Dangers TO Girls on Horseback.

We can look upon the declaration
of Young America for sport with SUI
preme qualification, as 1t argues we'll
for the generation to come, but we
should not lose sight of the fact that
its benefits may be more than counter
balanced by injudiciously forcing these
tastes. That there is danger of this is
shown by the tendency to put girls on
horseback at an age much too tender
to have other than harmful results.
1t is marvellous that mother who is
usually most careful in guarding her
child's safety should allow her little
one 70 incur the risks attendant upon
riding (Which are great enough for a
person endowed with strength, judg-
ment and decision) without thought
of the dangers she is exposed to at the
time or what may be the evil effects
in the future.
Surely parents do not realize what
the results may be. or they would
never trust girl of eight years or
Whereabouts to the mercy OF horse,
and at his mercy she is bound to be.
No child of that age or several years
older has strength sufficient even to
manage an unruly pony, which, hav-
| ing once discovered his power is pretty
sure to take advantage of it al
every opportunity. Even II no acct
dents occur. the knowledge OF her
helplessuess may so frighten the child

OPORTO, Feb. Gone of the results of
the thorough inquiry being made by the
military and civil authorities into the
cause of the revolt of troops here on Sat
urday last, is the discovery that an effort
was made to involve the Portuguese
navy in the socalled revolution.
Two sergeants of marines belonging to
the Sagres, government corvette, lying
in the roads outside of Oporto. endeav-
ored to incite the crew Of that vessel to
mutiny and seize the ship. The SER
geants were arrested while trying to
make arrangements for the plot.
One of them declared that he was a
supporter of the project to establish a
federal republic, having its seat of gov
ernment at Oporto, and independent of
Lisbon. He added that it was expected
that the movement III Lisbon would have
the adhesion and support Of the Spanish
revolutionary party.
By decree just issued in Lisbon it is
announced that all crimes connected
with the rising in this city come under
the jurisdiction of the military tribunals
This is here interpreted to mean that all

NEW CASTLE, Col, Feb. 6.-What al
most proved to be another Mammoth
mine disaster occurred here last evening
in the Grand river coal and coke mines.
Just at 8 o'clock, as the day shift, COM
posed OF seventy-tive miners, were about
to leave the mine, a terrific explosion
occurred, and smoke came pouring out
of the side of the mountain.
Men, women and children rushed to-
ward the entrance of the~fnine, only to
be driven back by the clounds of smoke.
Above the roar Of the escaping gases
the pitiful cries Of the imprisoned miners
could be plaiuly heard by their wives
and children.
Soon willing hands braved the great
danger and started the hosting ma
chinery, relieving each other as fast as
their comrades became exhausted. Soon
seventy-five miners were brought to the
surface, none Of them any too soon, as
the flames Immediately reached the
shaft, and came up with such force that
they drove every body away.
Explosions have followed every few
hours. Ii is thought several have per-
ished. Had the explosions occurred
when the miners were at work, not one
would have escaped.
The mine has been on fire several
times before in the last two years. caused
by miners lamps igniting gas, which al
