FLOGGED IN CHURCH

Newport, June 7-Given a flog- ging in church for inquiring the way to Heaven was the eXper fence that befell Baker Balch, a young man living near here who attended services i'll progress at a country school house.
 In addition to inquiring the way to Heaven Balch happened to belong to the wrong faction nto which the religious element of the neighborhood finds itself divided hnd the tone and time of his inquiry were not suited to the ideas of Alfred Lashlee, mem Der of the opposing faction and he attacked Balch furiously.
 A free-for- fight was immi- nent when the trouble was abat- ed by peacemakers!

EOrRScoRE AND TWELTE.

The psalmist's utmost measure OF
mans life is far surpassed by the vet
eran who celebrates 10 day his entrance
into his ninety-third year. seventy years
ago he was admitted 20 the bar. Sixty
years ago be was editor OF an important
metropolitan newspaper. Forty five
years ago be was American Minister To
France When 20 this record. without
filling in a multitude of not unimpor-
tant details. we add that he has marked
the completion Of his ninety second year
with the publication Of a new book of
much more than ordinary value. we
have the salient dates of an active
career for whose span in years We must
search far in history for an equal.
Nor can il he said of John Bigelow at
fourseOre and twelve. as the psalmist
said of men at only fourscore. that the
strength of his years is labor and sor
row. on the contrary. we are sure that
he possesses not only the satisfaction of
his prOtracted memories of useful pub
lie activities and achievements. but also
the power i'm abundant measure still 10
enjoy the rich endowments Of life and
10 interest himself a. keenly as ever in
whatever concerns humanity. Some of
his sentiments on this anniversary are
such as only he himself can have or can
understand. but we may hope that he
can appreciate the veneration. admira-
rion and affection with which he is re-
garded by his fellow citizens of city,
state and nation.
Age. with the respect which IL its due
and without the infirmities which are
commonly its burden: age. with strength
of years 10 approximate fivescore more
nearly than fOursccTe and Yet TO have
more of cxultatiOn than of labor and Of
JOY than of sorrOw-Ihat If a possession
which may well he coveted. and in his
enjoyment of which an innumerable
multitude Of friend, win to-day offer

FIRE IN COAL HINES.

OF about three hundred men who were
imprisoned in the 81 Paul mine nearly
a fortnight ago twenty -0ne were rescued

been abandoned. Several circumstances
suggest that if the work Of rescue could

day or two after the explosion Of gas in
the mine-a considerable number OF
the miners might now be living The chief
obstacle was fire ia the shaft through
which the cage was opera ted. which
made il necessary 10 seal the mine, aud
three or four days later the heat was
still So great that il was impossible 10

the flames. which started in a pile Of
hay. had not spread 10 the timber lining
of the shaft there would have been little
trouble. and if the timber had previously
been treated with chemicals to render it
incOmbuStible the fatal consequences of
carelessness might have been largely
averted. In this instance there was ex-
plOsive gas in the mine. and most Of the
deaths were due 10 suffOca1iOn by the

SCHOOL CONTRASTS.

Attention was directed last winter 70
the apparently excessive cost OF pub
lie school maintenance in New Jersey.
II WAS shown that the per capita cost of
inStructinG children il that. state. as a
whole. was much larger than IN any
other state Of the Union. with the ex-
Ccpti0n Of one or two. and that il was
about twice that IN some other states
which had comparahly good school sys-
tens. The inquiry then naturally arose
whether extravaganza was not widely
practiscd in New Jersey. perhaps in
cited 10y the generous appOrtiOnment of
state funds 10 the municipalities and
individual districts
Now il l. shown that there is strik-
ing inequality among various munich
paitieS 81 that state in their :, col ex-
penditureS. even among places Of SINH
lar character IN he same part of the
state. In the city OF East Orange. Tor
example, community noted for its high
average of intelligence and culture and
the excellence of lis schools. the cost
for each pupil enrolled is only so 81.
while in the neighbOring village Of South
Orange il is $40 To- and in Nutley il is
S55 %. Still more striking are some con-
trHsts when the cost is reckoned on the
basis 81 average attendance. the figures
for East Orange being S37 81 for South
Orange SGG "a and for Nutley So 90
while in Essex FEELS they are 500 10.
In Is scarcely conceivable that there
il any such contrast in efficiency of
teaching among these places as there is
