TO BIDE THEIR TIME.
Miners Decide in Convention TO Post
pone the Strike.

There will be no strike of the $4,000
miners in the Pittsburg district for the
present. This was decided at Thursdays
delegate convention, and is largely due
to National President Ratchford's address
advising moderation. Resolutions were
adopted demanding a uniform rate of 60
cents per ton for mining, but deferring
the strike until such time as. the national
executive board should consider it advisa-
bic. The convention was one of the larg-
est ever held in Pittsburg, there being 90
delegates, representing over 100 mines.

Gratitude for Christian home This
seems a rather tame subject to the aver
age boy or girl, simply because they know
little about the other kind of home. As
they grow older, and begin to feel the
need of every resource in the engrossing
and taxing business of life, and see others
failing about them, something of the
due gratitude comes to them for the un-
conscious discipline of early life and for
inherited Puritanism. Moral battles
which others are fighting and losing to-
day were fought out for some of us by
our grandfathers; we have simply to
enter into the succession of victory. There
Is indeed an opposite side to this princi-
pie. Some, apparently fortunate in this
worlds ways, are handicapped from birth
or from childhood with obstacles almost
too great to be overcome. But for "the
unfeigned faith that is in thee, which
dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and
in thy mother Eunice," thank God, and
abide therein.
Even the gift of God needs stirring up
lest the fame flicker and die out. Even
Timothy needed to be touched up once in
a while. Stick to the things you learned
first, says Paul. We have learned deal
of nonsense since, but the first things,
the first fresh apprehension of God, the
first overwhelming sense of the love of
father and mother and of Christ. the first
horror of sin, the first humble joy of re-
pentance are things to be remembered and
cherished always.

The present emperor of China is
Huang Hsu, who succeeded to the throne
Jan. IL, 1875. He was one Of the young.
est monarchs who ever assembled the
throne, being at the date of accession
only years old. There have been 90
dynasties in China. the royal history of
this country being better ascertained
than that Of any other which reaches
back to ancient times. With some few
breaks, the Chinese have had q regular
succession of sovereigns since Fuhhi,
who, the Chinese say, reigned from b.
G. 1862 to 2737. According to Chinese
tradition. Fuhhi was no less q person
age than the Noah of the Scriptures,
who, after leaving his ark on Mount
Ararat, travelled east and founded the
Chinese empire. Chinese history asserts
that several of their early monarchs
ruled for over q century each one reign.
ing over China for lis years, another
for 102, another for 100, and so on. It
is considered probable by historians that
these figures represent rather dynasties
than the reigns Of individual sovereigns.
China has had in almost direct descent,
with no more than two or three breaks
in the history Of the royal family, 80
sovereigns, 92 emperors, Tartar rulers,

What Rules the World.

Many years ago John Broughana,
Lester Wallack, Artemus Ward and 9th.
ers used to meet after the play al
Windhurst's, in Park row. One night
the question, "What rules tho world?''
arose, and various opinions were ex-
pressed. William Ross Wallace, who
was present, retired before long, and
some time later called Thomas J. Leigh
from the room and handed to him a
poem which he had just written. Mr..
Leigh read it aloud to the company, and
Mr.. Brougham made a happy little
speech Of acknowledgment. The thing
was entitled "What Rules the World, -
and the first stanza ran:
They say that man is mighty,
He governs land and sea,
He wields n mighty scepter
Ger lesser powers that be.
But mightier power and stronger
Man from his throne has hurled,
And the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world.

men. Every effort was made to save
the men, but it seems in vain. The
principal shaft is 5000 feet deep, and a
rescuing party went down to the
bottom. but was nearly suffocated by
smoke. The Cornish miners displayed
unusual heroism in attempting the re-
lief of the imprisoned men. Ten bodies
have been taken out and all show signs
of asphyxiation. There is no longer any
doubt that the IFS miners persisted. The
city of Zacatecas is a city of mourning
