THE MINER'S LIFE. It Is Full of Toil and Has But Few Encouragements. Bomt of the liutm and (laadTaatas;ea Whtrb KnilM tbs tailing Any thing Hat m Dnirm. ble . New Jersey has probably S.OOti miners, ami a larire percentage of them art? Americans. Imru and hrou.-rht up in the neighborhood of the mines. Only iron ami zinc mines exist iu this state an.l consequently the miners are n. .t confronted by several of the ter rors v liii-h exist in the coal workings of other states. 'New Jersey miners have little reason to fear tire, or over powerin:? gases, ami their ehief danger exists in the handling of explosives, iti occasional rockfalls. and in auk uar.l slip-, ami plunges down shafts. .More deaths occur from falling' down shafts than from any other causes. In a few mines in this state the .shafts are veril-al and bucket hoists are used, hut in rnosc of them aecest. is made bv slopes ami tlic ore is hauled out in small ears. A seri.-s of crinle and slijc Iery ladders follows the lines of rail: on these slopes, and the hardy miners climb or scramble down the wet a.J r.-eking rungs several times a day '1 hi-, means something in a mine with a slope of I.imm feet. In addition to I he daiiiTer of slipping there is always a risk of so:n. -thing tumbling down the s'ojie from above and knocking the miner ot? the ladder. It is said of the New Jersey miners. ays the Chicago Times, that they are moral, industrious, and intelligent, hut they are in little hope of .having their eon.lition in life changed. They work eiirht hour-, a day for SI or SI. -5 and average alntut ?:;."o a year from which they save nothing. The law against paving them in store orders has proved inoperative and nearly all of the iron miners in this state are still working under one or another form of the odious truck system which the act was iuteii.led to atMdi-.li. They are com pelled hy necessity to ask for credit and the company's store is always ojcn to t hem. IVrhaps they can pet credit and low er prices elsewhere at an indejwndent store nearer home, but if they are found purchasing except from the agent of the company they are quick ly told to seek work el-.ewb.ere. Although no actual store orders may le issued nowadays, the effect is just the same and the poor miner receives lit t le cash on pay .lay. In some cases the miner lives rent free in ne of the cabin-, erected by the mine owner and is still further enslaved by this fact. t her-, pay ?. or a month rent. Miners" vvaires have undergone little change in the last five years. The books of the lilemloii iron works show that since l-v'.s. however, there have Ih-cii many fluctuations. In the tirst mentioned year Tf cents a day was tin rate and in the following year it wa: increased to 51. and a shilling a day was a.l.h'd in ls".. From Istju to Is.; it droited to $1 atrain ami iu 1st,:; went up to SI. ST1'. In lsu the pay rose steadily a quarter at a jump until April. lsti.", the high rate of !?J.ro a day was being paid. Tlieu Hour was iiearl a barrel, but when it jumped to j-iti.Tr. a barrel, in l-7, miners' wages had been cut to 51. "in an.l 51. t'.r,. These tig ures stood until the summer of 1S7::. w hen they rose to S- airain, but the panic of that year knocked them down t.!rl.7i, and there ivi a steady declin. to la) cents a day. which was reached in April, IsTT. The wages advanced steadily until 5J was again paid in lssti, an.l tlropiH-tl" by decrees to il iu lssi;. Since tiien most of the mines have Wen paying SI.-'i to men and boys alike. Hue mine, the Mount I'lea.sant. near Dover, works its men in three shifts of eight hours each and pa3"S them S I a day. It is spoken of as one of the best mines to work in in the east and has an unusually intelligent force of men. The iron miner finds little joy in life. being Hkcd away in a damp and iinw holcsome tnniiel in the bowels of the earth, with no light but the little oil lamp dangling frotu the front of his cap. an.l supplied with air through a rubber hose, which in some cases operates the drills. The fitful gleam of the many lamps, the chugging of the drills, occasional dull detonations when blasts are tired, the recking walls of ore ami rock and the dull throbbing of the big pumps make the surroundings as dismal ami depressing as the imagination can conceive of, but here hundreds of men toil patiently for SSl.Ja a day, ami at times for Ik) cents, and perhaps some of them think thti.t they are fretting all out of life that there is iu it for them. In their hours of rest from toil they sleep, visit the store, talk to neighbors, t, perhaps, till a bit of garden if thev are lucky enough to have any tiling but bare rock iu the neighborhood of the home cabin. They know from statistics which have Wen famished by the .state that the trade life of a miner is short, and that their employment makes old men of them before their time. loss of energy w ill come upon ltiia I h-fore he is fifty years old if he escap-s chronic rheumatism, consump tion or throat troubles, which are the natural outcome of exposure to the damp and unhealthy surroundings of the miner during two-thirds of his Working- life.

However, necessity eoinxdIed it. and in a few- strokes we were alono-siile the coilin and had made it fast with l row.

Statistics are very dull, and dullness' is a thing: to be shunned by all well regulated persons, says a writer in the Philadelphia Telegraph, but an' article has just appeared in the Jour-' nal Ofticiel which is not quite uninter esting to France and the French. ' I luring- the year It'J-i the deaths in France exceeded the births by over twenty thousand. Hitherto the popula-: tion had Wen about stationary, but this national deficit is serious. The French, from the highest to the lowest, do not care f.r larg-e families, alleging-, justly enough, that children are exiiensive articles. Did not a cook the other day lay her woes over the death of her first lxirti oten to her sympathizing mis tess? "That baby cost rue first and last not less than three hundred dol lars," quoth the bereaved mother, and after all that expense it only lived three weeks!" The birth-rate is about as usual in France, at the ratio of twenty-two births for every thou-1 sand inhabitants, but the increase in -mortality is frightful, and is attrib-' uted by the medical authorities en- tirely to grippe, which they state has made more victims than the great ' cholera epidemics ever killed iu oue year. It is also solemnly set forth' that the children who were born at the time of the war of 170 are addinif to the mortality by expiring now; but as these threat medical lights state that the children tuirii during the siee generally died in their infancy, owinjf . to their privations, it is difficult to see why the mortality anion? the "war babies," as they were called, should have ceased for twenty whole years to sprinjf up ag-ain suddenly. However, there is the unpleasant fact that the tM.pulation of France, if something- is not done, will speedily resemble, in this larfe and pleasant land, the rela tive proportions preserved by a single huckleberry sailing gravely in a very large bowl of milk. HER HAIR FULL. OF WEALTH. How at l'uuu( Lawlr ktolw Uold IMiet awud lilamutidi. "A young lady employed by a gold and silversmith in New York has only her g.xxl look!, to thank for the fact that she was allowed to resign without being prosecuted for theft," remarked a resident of llrooklyn, according to the St. 1-ouis (ilobe-lemocrat. "She hasan extraordinarily fine hwadof hair, which she allows to hang '.oosulr over her shoulders and nearly down to her waist. From time to time it was no ticed that the gold used in the room in which she worked did not go as far as it ought in making jewelry aud gem settings, and that even allowing for the filings, which are most carefully preserved, there was a distinct leak age. Steps were taken to subject the em ployes to a more rigid search, but no discovery was made until the young lady with the long hair quarreled with her roommate over a love affair, and in a tit of jealousy her rival gave away the most interesting story. The young lady had kept her hair well greased, and then while at work would fre quently pass her fingers through it cas ually, as though it were a mere matter of habit. lty the process ahe accumulated a good deal of gtdd dust in her hair and sometimes dropped some diamond chips as well. Every night she combed out her locks with the smallest of tooth combs, carefully collected the pecul iarly purloined treasure-trove and sold it without any difficulty. She broke down completely when taxed with the offense, made restitution as far as she was able, and her tears and promises were so profuse that she was then al lowed to depart in peace, although her einployersouiett hat inconsistently took measures to prevent her obtaining further employment in the business in which she was an expert." TRUE GENTLEMEN. Kouti Worklaimca Wha aVrw ateapactfal la Wmim. It has been demonstrated on many occasions that it is not necessary for a man to have his clothes cut in the lat est fashion, to have diamonds spark ling on his shirt front and to wear silk underwear in order to come under the head of "gentlemen." An example of this is given daily on I'lum street, near Twelfth, says the Cincinnati Times Star. The thoroughfare above the last named street is used by the young ladies of the college of music, who live in the West end, for by using the rear entrance to the college they save themselves a walk of almost two squares. Just lelow the entrance to the college is located one of the larg-e depots of the Cincinnati Ice company, aud here daily there are from six to ten men employed loading the wagons of the company. In order to do this it is necessary to lay a chute from the house to the wagons, and in no case have the men failed to remove the chute in order to let the young ladies pass. In other ways, too, do these rough, honest fellows show their re spect for the ladies, and it is an ac cepted fact at the college that it is much safer and more pleasant for a young lady to go by the way of Plum street than to run the gantlet of the medical students on Twelfth street. The ogling and the remarks that are usually made when a young lady passes a crowd of well bred (?) young men are entirely foreign to these men, an.l they show their deference for the fair sex by being; discreetly quiet and keeping their eyes to themselves. FOREIGN NOTES. The system of numbering the hours of the day from one to twenty-four has been adopted by the Italian rail roads, and is in use for all time schedules. The king- of Portugal has just ef fected an insurance on his life of forty thousand pounds with an English of fice, the risk being subdivided among several companies. The total tonnage of warships launched during last year by the four most active naval powers wa: France, VJ. 1 ss tons, the United States, 40,050; Oreat ltritain, 2s,i0; and Russia, l.,:i;. In. (Ibaxofh, of Chester, who wa called to London to advise Mr. Glad stone concerning his sight, say: "I did not find anything- ia the condition of Mr. Gladstone's eyesight to prevent his remaining; in ortice. I fouud that his general health was exceedingly good." A notable illustration of the depre ciation iu recent years in the value of English estates is in the fact that the estate of Elvedon. the seat of the late Maharajah Iiuleep Singh, which was offered for sale in 1ST, and an offer of five hundred thousand pounds for it refused, was sold a few days since for one huudred aud fifty thousand pounds.

The system is said to have been n operation at Pauj forover two thou sand years. Egyptologists nave found unmistakable evidence of wire commu nications between some of the temples of the earlier Egyptian dynasties, but whether these served a telegraphic, telephonic or other purpose is not La ted.
