The Situation In West Virginia.

Wheeling, July 21.-The reports from the various coal districts of this state, which is now apparently the pivotal point in the great strike, are of a varied character. The mine owners and oper- ators claim that the efforts of Debs and other emissaries of the United Mine Workers now campaigning here have hopelessly failed to get the West Vir- ginia diggers to leave the pits and that where they have gone out they have promptly returned to work as soon as the agitators have left. On the other hand, Debs and his associates claim to have made substantial accessions to the number of strikers here and assert that by the end of the week all the mines of the state will be practically closed.
 The Fairmont managers declare that If the Watson men, about 1000 in num- Der, can be kept at work, the other mines will be working Thursday as usual. Debs spoke at Rivesville last night to the Watson men, but he was not so successful as at Fairmont, and no union was organized. The Watsons and their men are on excellent terms and neither side has any grievance They lead the region in production and profits and have the miners tied up in agreeable contracts to purchase cheaI homes and to furnish necessaries in sickness and death.
 It transPires that Debs has been shadowed by two Pinkerton men and that he has been threatened with death if he goes to Kanawha. He will go however, tomorrow. A gang of 150 Ital- ians are expected to arrive at Fairmont They were to have worked on new railroad. but will try mining.
 In the Kanawha valley there is nc material change, the success of the organizers at one point being offset by assumptions at others.
 Governor Atkinson, who is now here thinks the strike will become general and hopes the men will win. He says he has not been consulted about using
 the military and that none but the most violent outbreak would call for its use. The Glendale miners, near Wheel ing, came out yesterday, and they threaten to march upon the Buggs Run mine today, and this will cause trouble There is no cessation of coal shipments nor is there interference, trainload after trainload passing through Ohio. Notwithstanding assertions among the miners in the Fairmont district, large quantities of West Virginia coal are passing through Wheeling for the west and lakes. There has been no repetition | of the driving of spikes into frogs on | the Wheeling and Lake Erie. which oc- l cured on Monday. and the miners off, | cials in the eastern Ohio district are | strenuous in their denial of any knowi- l edge of the act. So far there is no clew l to the perpetrators.

LOVES MESSENGERS.

The rose shall be my messenger,
 The herald of devotion. Each petal sweet shall be the sea6 Of tenderest emotion. And in the heart of each fair rose,
 Deep hidden in the core, There rests my soul, my inner self, To love but you e'ermore. Each rose will die, each petal fade And wither fast away. Each freighted heart that speaks my love Will anguish and decay. Not so with love-my soul that's hid Within each roses core. That love will breathe andspeak and live Forever, evermore. Twill live for you and speak to you When roses cease to be. Twill breathe tEe roses fragrance rare For thee, my sweet for thee! Then haste, my messengers of love,
 Tell her my each emotion. Oh, petals sweet, at her dear feet Bespeak my fond devotion. William Manley in New York Tribune.

It is of course impossible to state ex-
aotly what part noise in New York CITY
plays in the death rate and the sick
list, but every physician knows it must
be considerable. Often the physician
in his daily rounds finds it necessary
to prescribe perfect quiet" in order
that the Pickering spark OF life re-
manning in the patient may be brought
back to a healthy flame, yet in nine
cases out of ten that perfect quiet he
deems so important cannot be had
owing to the noise from the street. Is
pecially is this true in warm weather,
when windows must be kept open.
The makers of unnecessary noise IN
New York are not confined to any one
class. All are more or less guilty, from
the church people to the organ grinder
and the street peddler. Any one who
studies this subject and observes care
| fully will be astonished and disgusted
at the reckless disregard of each for the
| health, peace and comfort of all others.

tn. Ru..,an Translator of Dickens.

Irinarch Ivansvich Vredensky was the
con of a poor but intelligent village
pope, or priest, who titled his glebe TO
feed and clothe his large family OF
daughters and this only son, to whom
he still found time to impart the rudi-
ments of education. Irinarch was
sickly and lonesome boy, cut off from
all playfellows by his ascetic though
we'll meaning father, and he grew up
to manhood in bitter poverty, having
sometimes literally nowhere to lay his
head. Yet, in spite of all obstacles, ne
became distinguished scholar, aversa-
tile linguist and beloved pedagogue IN
the military schools at st. Petersburg.
He was growing in fame and favor
with the authorities and had been called
upon to undertake educational work OF
the highest Importance, when his blind
ness and premature death cut short his
brave career. His translations of Dick
ems, Thackeray, Fenimore Cooper, etc.
are classical and laid the foundation OF
the wonderful popularity which their
works still enjoy in Russia. Notes ano

Naval Experience.

Unhappily for naval science-happlly
for all other neutrality-suspicious. dur
ing the 40 years of the life of modern
warsbips has been rare and inconcluslve.
The effect is that the opinion OF naval
architects and naval officers is left halt
ing between experiment and experience.
And the very infrequency OF actual
fighting at sea during a period IN which
the navies of the world have been COM
pletelv transformed is liable to lead TO
a one sided OF vastly exaggerated esti-
mate of the historical data at our dis
posal There is tendency to exalt the
weapon which has proved Its efficiency
most lately into the one ponderaple
factor beside which all others may be
neglected.
| The school of experiment needs correc-
ton, but the school of experience often
lacks balance. 1t is apt to forget that
the experience which it generalizes is
ALWAYS fragmentary and often irrele-
want. Thus, after the American civil
war. with its Merrimac and its Monl'
tor. armor became the one thing need
ful After LISA, because Tegethof hap
pened to sink the Re d'Italia, the ram
was to be the deciding factor in all III
ture combats. The engagements on the
Danube and Black sea coast III 1877 an6
1878 brought about a similar apotheosi'
of the torpedo. And the Ohina-Japa
nese war is likely to sow as conhdent
conviction that the navy which ha
quick firing artillery and high spee'
has every necessary element OF force Il
