the diamond dull was biougbt into rcqusi-j
tion for further exploration.
The engineers state that the actual dis
tance from the surface of the earth vertical
ly down to the Seven Foot vein, the twin
vein to the Mammoth, is 1C'J feet. The

lar formatio:i of the veins of coai as devci- 1
oped by the test drill. The big Tracy vein j
basin is found to be l'i" feet deeper than !
exiH.cted, aud the. Orchard vein is so curi- i
ously lormed that it was cut three times,
the dibUuce from its llrst apiear.inco to the
last being 2-V feet. The strata overlaps or I
t.0se!j folds in a vtry remarkably way
The Seven Foot vein, wftich is the npjier
member of the Mammoth, was found to be
thirteen aud one-half feet thick, and o( ex
cel'rt.ut coal. T'mkineuth this vein there
are seven feet of slate, three aud one-half
feet of K'.od coal, sixteen feet of slate con
taining irou ore balls aud six fi t t of car
bonaceous iron ore, or Mack Hand. Then
comes the Mammoth vein twenty-one feet
thi. k. next one and one-half feet of parti
tion telate, nnd under this it is thought
there is a nine-fool vein of coal, 1'elow
this it is believed comes the solid rock.
Ik's'uh s the Jhd Ash veins, w hich will
be worked, and of which no mention has
been made iu this article, thcre are the fol
lowing white and gray ah coals; l'rim
rose, Fourteen feet deep, Svcn Foot vein,
thirteen and one-half feet deep, and the
Mammoth, twenty-one feet deep, making
a total depth f forth-t ight and one-half
feet of coal.

It is a significant revelation, coming as it

TIIF. JIOMKI.ESS HOYS.
New York, like London aud Paris, has
its thousauds upon thousands of homeless,
houseless, uncared-for children who live,
the I. ord only knows how aud where.
They are the oll'spriug of either drunken,
criminal, or unfortunate parents, who
cither turn them out on the street as soon
as they can walk to live or die, a" fate may
have it, or die and leave them to bhift for
themselves. Who they arc and from
whence they came, they do not kuow them
selves. That they are, is a terrible fact.
Some years ago Corlear's Hook was the
! rei,,li.7.voii8 of the depraved aud desperate
of th2 East Side. Caugs of half grown
j boys, la.vless ami desperate made that lo-
..iit,. tiw.ir .....it.,, niul il. w.-is an nmcli as

j graduated from boot-blacking anil newspa-
per sellinz to pocket-picking, burglary aud
! , . .1 :. .
: murder, as increasing yeais gave ineiu iu-
creased strength. If one died in a street
j brawl, or was oflercd up a sacnuce to the
j law, a score of recruits stood ready to lake
his place from the numerous ranks of the
homeless. These children sleep in store
boxes, in nsh-bsrrels, in hay-loft any
place that can n llonl a protection lrom tnc
wind and rain. I or food, the garbage
barrels cive them something the light
chances of chance jobs another part, and
theft the remainder.
The Children' Aid Sneiety, an institu
tion which is praciieitl in its designs and
methods of work. 'u u i -mined to purify the
"Hook," and to that er.d established a
lodging house f'"r lnys. A large building
was leased for the purpose in Uivington
street, near the Fast 1 fiver, and placed un
der the superintendence of a man who put
liis heart into the work, and was not afraid
to go out at night in search of these homc
less youths, sometimes bringing home as
j many as half a dozen to a good supper and
a comfortable bed.
A boy who has no money is given food
and lodging free if they have money, five
cents is charged each lor meals ana ucus.
A night school, where these Arabs are
taught to read and write, is in full opera
tion. A bath room is free to all, as well as
a library and reading room, in which all
the daily and weekly papers arc filed.
The effect upon the boys has been won
derful. The Superintendent, backed by in
fluential citizens who gave a good share of
their time to the work, not only feeds and
clothes the bays, but he instructs them
how to set an honest living, and aids them
to get in the way of it.
Sine? the House was opened it has fed
and sheltered no less than f,."J0 different
boys : furnished 204,2a' meals ; provided j
homes in th: West for 420 boys ; found em- j
ploy tnc nt for several hundred others in the
city, and restored 10') truant boys to their
I friends. Hundreds have been educated.

NEW VOKK VS. THE 1NTEKIOR CITIES.
I have mentioned several times the trou
ble New York is laboring under at this
time concerning her trade. The merchants
I of the city have finally discovered that the
' loss r,f tr:idr is not ehar?eable altogether
! to "hard times," but that the cause is
I deeper. An act passed in 1S7''., made
ports of entry of Chicago, Cincinnati, To
ledo and various other cities in the west,
alul provided that goods might Ix; imported

in doing public business in New York that
is expensive to the outsider. The import

cities, has brought mourning to the extor
tioners in jtnd about the Custom House,
and has seriously injured the importing
i business here, hut it has saved the West
j hundreds of thousands of dollars. Thcre
i no reason why the cities of the West
should not have all the facilities for import-
ing that the Atlantic cities possess, nor can
fliurc nnjr -jijod reason iriven for idvinil
three or four cities a monopoly. Look out,
I Gentlemen of the West, for the New York
importers in Congress this wiuter.
roi.HTCs
In the. city is mixed. The Democracy are
tightim; over the spoils ; and the Republi
cans are lying back waiting for events.
The Democracy have never yet profited by
a victory, for the. fact is their political ven
tures are all for spoils. They win a victory
aud immediately spoil the effects of it.by not
knowing how to improve it. or rather not
caring. They will plunder the city aud
State right aud left for a year, and then the
people will rise aud oust them. Th-: Re
publicans have a sure tiling on the State,
I in the long run, so long as the Democracy
ar controlled by the men who now hoJJ
the power in that organization, to suc
ceed they have to promise plunder, and
those to whom they promise are very sure
that the promises are fullliil rd. Then the
people when they get tired of Is.ing plun
dered they dethrone the thi-ves, who stay
out till tlie people get careless agaiu.
You may look for a reaction next fall. I
prophesy it.
HOW Till: Til I SO I DON K.
I attended a l'iiii.-r.l yesterday. It was
the List office I could perform for a young
man who was, in his life, a friend of mine,
aud as a friend I followed him to his grave
Crconwood. He had only reached
ix ! good management accumulated wealth
i meat wealth. He died a doen vears ago
worth a million or more, leaving one son,
my friend, and three daughters. The
young man received a collegiate education,
and, graduating, came back to New York
to live. Life was to him as rose-tinted as
posaibY. Oceans of money, excellent so
ciety, a splendid home, everything in short
that a man could have to enjoy life and be
happy. He joined clubs, of course, he insti
tuted a stable, of course. He proposed to
; live.and he did live. He made the acquaiu-
i tauce of all the men who live, and he found
i
j plenty of them willing to help hini. He
hail no business to do, tor why should a
young man with a n.iilioii do business or
bother about it V His father had made the
I money lor mm 10 enjoy, aim ne inieuueu
.... . ... i i. .
to i-iijoy it. His lifo was :i routine very
easy to describe. The morning at liis clubs
drink. The afternoon in all sorts of
places- drink. Tlie early evenings in the
theatres drink. The latter part of the
uiijht in jMinblinn hells and places of just as
bad a nature driuk. Drink in the morn
in to tone him up for dissipation later in
the day. Jrink to drown remorse drink,
drink, drink. Aud at twciily-cight the
poor follow, bom with splendid possibilities
and with capacities for all sorts of good,
sank into a drunkard'a grave, with no good
deed left behind him to signalize his life or
to mark the fact that he had lived. lie
died of liting left a fortune, instead of hav
ing been compelled to make one.
This is a brief history, but there are one
hundred thousand young men in this city
1 re: atiuii it at this moment. Are there

erally support those endeavoriug to crush
them out. Aud the light is waxing warm.
The llowery Theater was open lastSuuday
night with their ghastly melo dramas, as
j usual, and the old place was jammed
with people, of th class who do go to
the theatre week-day nights half grown
boys and girls. It was a wild night they
made of it. It seemed as though the fact
that their amusement was illegal and likely
to he interrupted, gave an additional zest
to it, for never in the history of the place
were peanuts so liberally masticated or
applause so freely and boisterously given.
It was a pandemonium from the rising of
the enrtaiu to the going down of the same.
The beer-gardens and "Concert Saloons"'
were in full blast, the police not having j
been instructed to make raids upon them. I
it is singular that the wort: am not com
mence with them, for if the theatres are, as
Talmadge styles them, "the vestibules of
hell," these places are in the exact centre.
They are the resort of the lowest, vilest
men and women that the Almighty for
some, to us unknown, purpose permits to
exist, and the orgies nightly held in them
would put a debased Fiji Islander to blush.
F.ut somehow the police pass them by
without any effort to break thf.ii up.
BUSINESS
is improving steadily in many of its
branches
The strikes are all over, and ;
though laborers nre on short time and re
duced pay, they are squeezing through bet
ter than was anticipated. The coming of
the holidays has put a great deal of money
in active circulation, and there is a brisk
ness, which, if it be spasmodic, is pleasant.
The weather is pleasant and bracing, and
the health of the city vastly improved.
May tin
ood we have he increased.
