OueeD yictoria.s Kindness.

Queen Victoria's kindness to the poor people about Balmoral forms the sub iect of an incident recorded by the London correspondent of an English provincial paper. On the confines of the old estate lives an old retainer who had for many years been familiar to her majesty during her visits to Scotland. On arriving at Balmoral the queen learned that this poor old fellow had been stricken down by serious illness. Not long time elapsed ere her majesty's little pony-chaise had stopped at the cottage door and she had inquired as to the progress of the sui ferer. Since then baskets of fruit have daily found their way to the cottage, the gift in each case being accompanied by an inquiry. In addition, her majes- ty has made another personal call.

instance, at least, the indignation was fully warranted. Without rhyme ol reason, or even plausible excuse, with out even declaring war against Turkey, the directory had sent an army and a fleet to Egypt under command of Bona parte, who had taken possession of the country, slaughtered thousands of its people, and wrought havoc and untold misery wherever he appeared.
 Nelson had destroyed the fleet at the glorious battle of the Nile, and so de. prived Bonaparte of the means of re- turning to France with his army Most generals in his position would have thrown up the sponge, but Bonaparte was general hors ligne. Dislike the man though you may, you cannot help admiring the grandeur of his ideas and the energy with which he carried them into effect. Cut off from France, and finding it impossible or inexpedient to remain in Egypt, he marched into Syria, intending, when he had con- quered that country, to raise and or ganize an army of Arabs and either in wade India or conquer Turkey.
 It was to prevent the consummation of this design, and, if possible, destroy or capture Bonaparte and his army, that the British government had formed an alliance with the sultan and sent Sir Sidney Smith to the Levant. He was one of the most enterprising naval of ficers of his time; and reckoned it as piece of good fortune that I should have to serve under so distinguished commander.
 liked my ship and I liked my crew. was so delighted with my promotion and prospects that should not have quarreled with them though the Kan garoo had been been old and leaLy and the hands mutinous and incompetent. But the brig was well found and good sailer, and by the time we made the Egyptian coast my ships company was as smart and well disciplined as any in his majesty's service
 On reaching the rendezvous 1 went on board the flag ship to report myself and deliver the letters and dispatches had brought with me from England.
 Sir Sidney Smith, who prided himself on his politeness and savoir faire, re ceived me smiling. He was thirty-fve, very good-looking-darlS hair and eyes, face full of fire and energy-and a naval dandy.
 "So you know Arabic?" he observed, after reading his letter.
 "A little," answered, modestly; for, though I had succeeded in humbugging g Admiral Jones, 1t would not have been safe to attempt anything of that sort with Commodore Smith.

nary citizen. One trip down into @ coal mine aroused in me a hearty sympathy for the men who brave indescribable dangers for the sake of providing for their loved ones. Many a noble heart beats under the rough jackets of the humble diggers upon whom the pluto crats of the east look with contempt.
 It is not necessary to tell of the hero ism of some of these men. It is a mat ter of history that many times young fellows have risked, and sometimes sac rifced, their lives to save their compan- ions from death by suffocation or other dangers peculiar to mining life.
 That the west has succeeded in ab- sorbing the best of the eastern miners shows that, despite all arguments to the contrary, the region lying west of Chicago must henceforth and forever moro be considered the mecca of the American wageworlzer. And this holds good not only of unskilled labor, but of the highcst-priced artisans.
 The only relief asked by the miners of the west is the immediate passage of an immigration law which would eff fectually keep cut of America the pau per labor of Europe, and to such legis, lation they certainly seem entitled.

were brought to the United States dur ing the period from the fall of 1877 to 1886 to menace the social and economic conditions of number of once prosper ous and law-abiding communities.
 Whenever these Hungarians, who at first came in small attachments, be- came imbued with American ideas and asked for increased pay, they were soon defeated by their own cOuntrymen, who came by thousands to take the places of their emancipated brethren. At the present time scores of mining villages in Pennsylvania are inhabited exclusively by Huns. The Welsh, English and American miners have drifted west ward. Lawlessness and almost incred- ible disregard of moral and sanitary rules and regulations prevail in com munitics once noted for their cleanli- ness and enterprise.
 The mining of coal became an inn portant industry In the west many years ago, and mine owners in Illinois and Iowa were glad to get hold of the worllmen whom stern necessity had compelled to leave their homes in tke east.
 A recent visit to Iowa, made after an investigation of the condition of the miners in Pennsylvania, impressed me more than any previous comparison be- tween the labor problem of the east and the west. In the anthracite region ignorance and squalor go hand in hand; in the bituminous coal region of Iowa fair degree of comfort makes the life of the hard-working digger for the black diamonds endurable. Schools and churches are to be found in every settle mcnt, and drunkenness is, to say the least, not a prevailing vice.
 The life of coal miner is not a healthy one. Exposure and impure air claim thousands of victims each year Many who use coal every day have not the rcmotest idea of how it is brought to the light of day and made ready foI shipment.
 The first descent into a coal mine produces a sensation not easily forgot ten. At the invitation of an Iowa mine owner I accompanied him on down ward trip not long ago. Stepping from the clear air into a crazy-lookins

MULE TRAIN.

little structure, dignifed with thu name of "tower," we entered sort of elevator, which in the twinkling of an eye landed LIS on the main thoroughfare of the subterranean industrial city. Al though supplied with miners lamp, the unsophisticated visitor will remain virtually blind for several minutes after reaching the bottom.
 The mine itself Is divided into streets and alleys. East street was the name of the main artery invaded by the writer. It was nothing more than a long, narrow passage about eight feet wide and six feet high. Slate forms the top of the halls, and this is held up by rafters at intervals varying from five to six feet. A railroad, whose cars are propelled by mule power, runs through the hall. Along the 'street" are in numerable small openings closed with heavy curtains. Rolling back one o1 these the discovery was made that il concealed small apartment in which two miners were busily at work.
 When the men in one of these aper- lures have dug two or three loads ot coal they ring bell for the mule train The equipment of this primitive trans portation line consists of a truck mounted on wheels and a pair of dis reputable looking mules. After the car has been loaded it is taler to the lift. The teamster - ol "engineer," if you please-rings the mine bell once, the international min lug signal that a load waits to bt hoistcA FTP. Before the miner allows thc l"..a to leave the gloomy vault he attaches metal tag to the cart, so thai he may receive proper credit for hi: work on the books of the company After the coal has reached the surface 1t is weighed, and the net weight placed ta the credit of the man whose tinl1A'
