THE RUSSIAN SQUADIJON.
Some of the members of the diplomatic
coipsare conjecturing as to Russia's real
purpose in keeping such a large naval
squadron in American waters, when there
is cei tain to be numbeiless conflicts be
tween the Russian and Tuikish navies near
at home. It is generally thought that
within a very short time a blockade of the
Tuikish ports will be declared, and the
vessels of other nations warned not to carry
munitions of war destined for the Tuikish
government. When this is done then the
i-eciet of the large Russian naval squadron
w ill be made to appear, and it will be found
they are here for the purpose of intercept
ing the shipment of American arms to
Turkej'. Russia having all the aims she
needs will not have to purchase, as Tuikey
is doing, of American manufacturers.
American naval officers are quite outspoken
i-r.l . . i ri i l
in their belief that the powerful iron clads
. ... .... . . .
of Turkey will be more than a match
for
the navy of her opponent, Rusia.
PEN DI NO APPOINTMENT.
Mr. Hayes manifests little disposition to
hasten action in the case of some of the im
portant Federal appointments which have
been hanging fire now for several weeks,
and although pressed on all sides to settle
the couMicts now going on between the
numeious applicants, he does not yield in
the least, but continues to postpone action.
MINISTER TO PAUIS.
Ex-Gov. Noyes, of Ohio, who presented
Hayes's name to the Cincinnati convention
in behalf of the Ohio delegation, is here,
and had mi interview with his "Boss," and
it is said that Noyes is a prominent sup
plicant for Minister Washburnu's position
at Paris. Noyes predicts that within three
weeks all signs of disaffection will have
dietl in the Republican party, and "the
President" be heartily commended for his
wisu couise towards South Caiolina and
Louisiana. And yet Mr. Noyes, when here
last summer, was not favoring Mr. Hayes
at all. He went all the way up to Maine
to court Jimmy Elaine, and on his return
here, just prior to the Cincinnati conven
tion, ndiculed the idea of Hayes receiving
the nomination for President. Mr. Hayes
did not have a dozen delegates from his
own State who believed he would receive
mote than a complimentary vote, and yet
every one of the pack, forgetting that the
nomination was forced by other States, is
sweating like Noyes that the responsibility
of his nomination rests upon him alone.
Noyes is an Ohio bubble and should be
bursted without mercy, Iiutas Ohio rule
the roost, we presume all its incapables
must bo provided with an asylum, and yet
why should our nation lie compelled to
furnish such as Noyes with a first-class
foreign mission, and make a thimble-rigger
a Minister Pletiipotenliaty?
CENTENNIAL VISITOR.
Among the callers at the White House
on Tuesday last was a Mrs. Sarah Davis,
who had shaken hands with every Presi
dent fioni Washington down. She is 105
years of age, and resides near tho Navy
Yard, in this city. She was accompanied
by a male esc rt, near her own age, and
sent her card up to Mr. Hayes who shortly
afterward came into the East room and re
ceived, her.
OENKRAI, BANK3,
in an interview during the past weelc, saiif
the Administration was just entering upon
its new policj", and time alone would dem

is, what use will the Southern people make
of the power given them ? He expressed
tho opinion that the extra session of Con

HAY KS AND THE M ALIGN. VNT3.
Ben Wade, like Wendell Phillips and
Mr. Blaine, has rendered Mr. Hayes the
greatest service in his power by abusing
him. Nothing is more likely to rally the
conservatives of the country than the
violent opposition of the ultra poll ion of
the Radical part'. These are tho men w ho
in pcifectly cold blood have sought sys
tematically to inflame the passions and
prejudices of others, and by every devilish
art and device to keep alive the bitter
hatred engendered by the late civil stiife.
While the conservatives commend Mr.
Hayes for doing right, yet not one of our
leaders council a bieak in our party line.

FEARFCI. ADVF.NTLKK IN A COAL MINE.
A despatch from Scranton says that in
calculiling the cost of coal there is one im
portant item w hich is never taken into con
deration by capitalist or consumer, and
that is the loss ot lite and limb incurred in
the work of digging "dusky diamonds" and
preparing them for market. A glance at
the list of deaths and accidents published
monthly in the local papers is sufficient to
send a t hrill of horror through the stoutest
heart ; but familiarity soon makes us parti
ally indifferent to such matteis, and it is
only when some thrilling calamity occurs.
such as me .vvouuaie ami t rsi r iiisourg
i disaster, that we are fairly aroused to the
! perils incident to the work of mining. The
1 people of the metropolis know but little of
i these things unless when ihey see an occa-
! sional account of some extraordinary catas
i trojihe published, and even then they can
I but faintly realize the mishaps that befall
j from day to d ly in the way of fire-damp ex
j plosions, falling roofs and the innumerable
j ot her death-dealing agencies that link in
the depl hs of the coal mine.
One of the most heartrending accidents
! of this character which has been recorded
i for some time has just occurred at the
j Empire mine in this vicinity. Two men
named John Mooncy and Patrick Quinn
j were employed in No. 4 slope laying track,
i a distance of about two miles from the
i opening and a mile from the other work
j men. When they least dreamed of danger
there was a sudden convulsion overhead,
and an instant later they were overwhelmed
by a feaiful fall of roof. The tenible ac
cident put out their lights, and they were
i in utter daikness. Mooney, after cousidei
j able difficulty, succeeded in extricating
j himself from among the massive boulders
which fell about h:m in such- a ;iv an to I

was seriously injured, but was determined
to ascertain the condition of his fellow
miner. After calling aloud in vain for
some time he groped about in the dismal
place among the locks, hoping to find
Quinn, and fvaiing that, he was dead. At
length he touched him, but the poor fellow
was pinned fast by a b'g boulder w liicli lay
upon one of Ins mangled legs. The other
leg had been completely severed from the
body by the fall. To release him was a
hard task, but Moony, forgetting his own

groping his way throu-h the pitchy dark
ness in the diiection or what he considered
was the foot of the slope. For two Jiouis
he wandered about that living tomb, with
his dying comrade on his back, moaning in
the most piteous manner. Tho situation
was awful, and afier roaming thus for a
long timo poor Mooney was disheartened
to find that he had c-nne. back to the very
point fioui which he had set out, and wheie
the accident occurred. He summoned up
his fast i.Uliug strength and made another
effort, slid taking Quinn on his b.ick, but
after proceeding a short distance he gievv
faint, and was unable to go further with
his piecioiis burden. Then laying the dy
ing man down in as comfortable a position
as he could Mooney crawled oi. his hands
and knees towards what lie thought was
the slope. At o'clock a party or miners,
while proceeding down No. 5 slope, weio
startled by the app.u it ion which then lamps
revealed. It was Mooney crawling slow ly
up the slope on his hands and knees, his
lace black and bloody, and his whole tn.dy
sore from contact with the jagged pieces of
coal and rock. His eyes were at first daz
zled by the light, he had been, in daikness
so long and trying to see, and he was
speechless w ith joy for some secends to find
relief at last. This was eight hoars after
the accident had happened, and they were
ciuht hours of awlnl moital agony. As
soon as Mooney found words to speak he
related the story in bi i. f, and begged the
paity to hasten to tho assistance of Quinn,
who might yet be saved.
They hurried to the spot indicated and
found the unfortunate fellow in the condi
tion already desci ibed, with one leg severed
from his body and the other crushed to

A Singular Phenomenon. Tlie Pan
ama Mar and Herald reports a curious
phenomenon as having occinred at Aspiu
wal! during the past, month (April), and
calls upon the scientific for an explanation.
The beach, says the journal, is of coial for
mation and extends fi out the light-honso
eastward along the northern shore of Man -z:tnilla
Island for a mile or more, and is
open to the Caribbean. Upon the night in
question, or rather on the morning follow
ing, this whole distance was covered with
4 deposit of a deep vivid-indigo blue
something resembling a broad ribbon
stretched along the limits of high tide,
which there amounts to only about eigh
teen inches. Beholders were startled by
this very peculiar appearance, and it was
at first thought that perhaps Old Neptune
and the Tag us indigo business might have
had something to do with it ; nor was curi
osity allayed in the slighest when a closer
examination revealed the ichthyological
fact that this bluo deposit consisted of
millions of a peculiar, Hat, shapeless sort
of jelly fish, smaller than the hand, round
ed in contour, with a slightly raised rido
running what would seem lo be fore and
aft over the back. Everybody looked and
