COAI-A local circular to Australia says Of
Colonial Coal: although arrivals have been large,
still market values have not been disturbed, as
there brisk demand for each cargo as it
arrived, It went direct to consumers on con-
tracts made months ago. Besides, our yards
within the past thirty days have been entirely bare
of Colonial Coal, hence none of these cargoes We're
on the market for resale Later on we will be tenn
porarily handicapped taking care of some cargoes
of Australian and Swansea which may arrive here
simultaneously, our wharf and yard room is
rather limited. AS there has been marked de-
cline in outward grain freights for late canceng
dates there should be relative advance IN inward
coal freights. This has already displayed ITSELF
free offerings of coal freights not being made
and recent engagements show an advance. No
material advance can be looked for, as our coast

Kindness From the South.
| Norfolk Nirginian.


The Philadelphia Telegraph makes
a feeling reference to the suggestion of
sending train load of corn and meat
from the South to the drought sufferers
in Nebraska, and says that Nebraska
will not forget the kindness bestowed,
and in giving aid to Northern sufferers
the Southern people will be commend
ing themselves to the kindliest con-
sideration of all righ,minded citizens
in every section. 1t says that "the
broad spirit Of humanity has been
touched, and Southern men, them
selves largely the victims Of misfortune,
propose to do what they can to help
Others worse off than themselves. This
incident will not fail of general notice,
and i, will do much 10 hell along
that great reunion the sections which
has been the dream Of statesmen, the
hope of patriots, for generation
past.
This is all very true, but it has ever
been the way with the people Of the
Southland. Its people have always
been broad minded, liberal and true
and ever ready to extend helping
hand to their distressed brethren,
whether they happen to dwell North
or South. In this particular case the
South is happy to be able to give Of its
abundance the little the unhappy
people of Nebraska so badly needed.

THE WORLD GROWING BETTER.

Mr.. Richard Watson Glider, editor
of the Century, spent Christmas eve in
what is called the East Side slums of
New York city, ministering to the
poor and inquiring into their needs.
Mr.. Glider says he found enough Of
misery and poverty there, to be sure,
but not SO much Of either as existed
years ago. 81 have covered the city,"
said he, every thoroughly for the past
few months and visited the very worst
places, but l did not find anything
like the squalor and wretchedness
which used to prevail when as boy l
visited 'the Five Points with my
father" The conditions, he says, are
steadily improving, and his conclusion
is that despite recent developments the
great city of New York is growing
better. Indeed, he thinks, the world
is growing better all the while. There
is more charity and benevolence than
ever before and mems hearts are big
ger. Just why this is SO is not stated.
But the solution is not difficult, and
may be summed up in one sentence
the spread Of Gods Word. Besides,
there is more intelligence in the world
than ever before, and as men become
more enlightened, better characters
are formed, and as consequence bet
ter lives are led 1t would be sad to
know that as we grow older we grow
worse, and that the evening OF lite is
frausht with misery.

diskivered at all Yere was a man
who sot on the fence and thunk j, all
out by hisself. Hoss sense told him
that they hadn't yit diskivsred more'n
half land nuff to make up world
Sunthin warned him that America had
been overlooked and left out of the
deal. He wanted to sot out and
diskiver us, but he was laughed a, and
ridiCuled and p'inted out as an April
fule. He was dead broke and fur
from home, but he'd got his dander up
and dertarmined to hang on if i took
both legs. He sold his COW, mortgaged
his mewl and pawned his overcoat,
and when the people at length realized
his alrnestness in the matter thew cum
for 'ds and took few sheers of stock.
Even when he was ready 10 sot out
every feller he met up with throwed
him down, and he was not yit outer
sight Of land when the sailors threatened
to put head on him if he didn't turn
back. Forty different times Mr..
Columbus was on the pint Of ,hrowin
up his hand and goin out of the game,
but 40 different times he bit off fresh
chaw Of terbacker, called up his sand
and made fresh start. Feller critters,
be like Columbus. When ye know
ye've got a good thing, sell yer shirt
and stick to it till vict'ry perches on
yer ripplin banners. At the close of
this performance, as stated on the
bills, all persons wishing to be united
in the bonds of wedlock free Of cost
will step for 'ds and jine hands and be
consolidated" AUSTIN KEENE.

THE PASSING YEAR.

Nv door stands open wide tonight,
In token of a parting guest,
Who twelve months since, with keen de.
light,
1 welcome to my homely rest.
He stands there now, wan, wasted, old.
His race quite run, his mission DER,
And when the midnight hour is tOlled
We part to meet no more.
He came to me in merry guiSe,
With hopes and promises not few
All who could look within those eyes
And deem that they were all untrue?
But expectations all have fed,
The promises are broken, too,
The hopes lie withered, crushed and
Not one of all but proved untrue.
And there he stands, decrepit, wan,
Who came to me a merry elf;
A few sands more he will be gone,
And with him gone part Of myself
SO come and go the passing years
That bear us to the silent sea,
But bright with smiles, or dim with tears,
They come in love, Dear Lord. from
Thee

HOME TOGETHER.
BY EBEN T.. REXFORD,

BY EBEN f. REXFORD.
The road is rough before our feet,
The hills are steep and high,
And clouds are gathering overhead
To shut away the sky.
Perhaps our paths may run apart,
In dark and stormy weather,
But at the nearing evening time,
Well be at home together.
O. friend ofmine, l grieve to lose
The grasp of loving hands;
How much we need each other here,
Each fully understands
But if our pathways meet no more
In meadow-land or heather,
Believe that when the night is come
Well be at home together.
So here's hand that's true, my friend,
And steadfast, come what may,
God grant our paths run side by side
And part not all the way;
But If it be that part we must
God only knoweth whether
There's comfort in the thought that nigh
Will bring US home together.

1t would appear that the American
people love to have mud thrown a,
them, from the manner in which the y
toady and fete the snobs and would be
reformers Europe periodically inilicts
upon them.
In the early summer, some reform
society, who were never heard of out
side the parish where they were raised
came over here to investigate and
show us how to regulate, or prevent
the pecktie parties our Southern
brethren, sometimes justifiably, indulge
in, by sending out of the world in a
summary manner, wretches who have
committed crimes, some of which,
have darkened England's pages for
ages. Next a doctor, who is the
author Of a few books, comes over,
sizes up few Anglo Maniacs; ; feted
toasted, lionized, only to 90 back
home and call us vulgar, not up to
things Lunnun, you know! And now
Burns, points out Chicago as He'll.
Well, he ought to know, he was there
two hours ; and yet can tell you more
about it than he can of London where
he has lived all his life. Who is this
man anyhow? What startling thing
has he ever accomplished toward the
Improvement of the human race to
qualify him as critic of men or
morals? He cried as he walked
through the Italian quarters Of Chicago.
Wonder if he ever walked through
some PORTIONS OF the little Isle con
tiguous to his beloved England9 He
would find sights there TO draw tears
out OF Sphinx. These people can
never see their own faults they must
come to America, and the sycophants
will crowd around them, fete, and
pass them free all over the country,
and then calmly listen to their
datrbes. We venture the assertion,
from personal observation, that there
is more crime and des,i,ution in the
White chapel districts of London-or
Scotland road in Liverpool, in a day,
than there is in New York or Chicago
in a week.
Let some American go to London
for the purpose of investigation and
criticism of the moral condition Of its
people and see how much consider
alton will be shown him; take the
platform and condemn their munic-
ipali,ies and he would either be
thrown into Jail as a meddlesome busy
body or ducked in some horse pond,
and it would serve him right. He
would at least be given TO understand
that he must mind his own business
America is fast becoming The laughing
stock Of all Europe. Agi,ators of every
stamp come over here, pocket the
suckers dollars, live higher than they
ever did before for few months, 90
home and laugh at the vulgar Yankee.
The deuce OF it is, it is getting worse.
Let these notorlety seekers pay their
own expenses while in this country.
Show them, if anything, that part of
OR glorious country, Of our incom-
parable cities, with which there is
in Europe TO compare, and
not assist them in ferreting out the
dlr,lest and meanest side. They will
form better impressions OF the country
and its inhabitants. At present they
meet nothing but the vulgar. who stir
up the mud 10 be thrown at them.
