A GENTLE HINT.-Iu our Btyle of
'clnnato, with its sudden changes of tempera
ture, rain, wind and sunshine often inter
mingled in a single day, it is no wonder
that our children, friends and relatives are
so frequently taken from us by neglected
colds, half the deaths resulting directly from
this cause. A bottle of Boichee's German
Syrup kept about your homo for immediate
use will prevent serious sickness, a largo
doctor's bill, and perhaps death, by the uso
of three or four doses. For curing consump
tion, hemorrhages,pneumonia,severc coughs,
eroup or any diseaso of the throat or lung?,
its success is simply wonderful, as your drug
gist will tell you. German Syrup is how
sold in every town and village on this con
t nent. Bainplebottlesfortrial.lOc; regular

The Chicago Letter, is truly remarkable,
binco its introduction to tho reading public,
six years ago, The Ledger has steadily ad
vanced in layer, and is now acknowledged'
second to no paper of tho kind in the coun

been obtained through the cirorts of its pub
lishers to jiroduco a pajcr of high moral
character, and at the same time sell it at a
price consistent with the present nurd times.
That they have succeeded, and well, tootire
thousands of readers of The Ledger Mattered
from Maine to Texas and from Oregon to
Florida will bear testimony. The Chicago
Ledger is a largo forty.cight column weekly
paper, which contains stories both completo

tho'best autlmrs of the day, and a great
variety .of information intens'ine; to every
one. Tho" subscription price of 'J'hc Ledger

Says tho Philadelphia Ledger, of last
Monday : Tho terms anil conditions of
"Combination" of tho 6overal parties to tho
anthracite coat Irado havo excited much at
teiitlon all tho jiast week, not only with the
parties to the compact but with other largo
outside Interests. Tho coal trado is heavily
in debt, companies and individuals, being
largely involved, and without some such re
lief as is thought may, and will,come through
an arrangement protecting tho trade from
further depression and low, its creditors will
probably jtrotcct themselves as they best
may, and that risht speedily. To avoid tho
consequence that must attend such action of
creditors as tins, inmost universal svmathy
has been nwakciicd,and all having inllucnco
in the trade havo been using their best en
deavors to linrmonizo differences and to
reach an amicable and satisfactory result.
Col. T. A. Scolt has been unceasing iu his
eirorts to this end; rind on Saturday morning
had, witlt the nlil of others, narrowed all
differences on the question of allottmcnt to
25,000 tons out or the assumed tonnage fir
tho year or 20,000,000 tons! At this point
the negotiation seemed to stick, and, trilling
as the matter indifference was, failure of the
great purposo teemed probable. Bat tlie
Colonel did not tibalo njotiultis imrjiose,
and gradually bringing in here and there a
Jiarty, .and effecting slight concessions, at
about 1 i: tl'-j last three o'clock bibl secured as
cent to' un allotment that covered tho last
tumid in the twenty millions of tons, in the
followlifgj jiroportions, viz;
I'o the Per cent.

These are the jirojwrtions arrived nt, and
are stfpjiiwd to bo satisfactory all round.
Of course the arrangement has vet to go
throdejt tho necessary form of reduction b
writing, on the basis of provisions', in most
tubsiaiitial particulars. sii2"Cslcd bv Mr.
GoWeh in his liaper published inlhiscoluinni
some three weeks since, and tu'bsequciitb1
considered by th'o conference nt its firU
mooting. In some two or three instances in
reaching tlic.tlesired acciqitaneo or tho abovo
nllottment by the parties named, we under.
stand that individual ojierators volunteered
to make ii small ilillerences that ncemeil to
stand In the way or a prompt adjustment.
On Saturday the conclusion nnion'g tho more
active iu foimingthe combination was that
it was practically accomplished.
Tho con'l- managers Wednesday held a
meeting jit New York and ratified tho agree
ment ns aboc allotting thoqiiot'.ofthc out
put of tlie various comjian'ies for 1878. Tho
Board of Control was organized with one
reircsentativo Tor each interest, Titos. Dick
son being mado chairman, Franklin B.
Gowen secretary aud treasurer, and J. II.
Jones expert accountant. It is to hold
monthly meetings in New York and Pltila-dclphi-f
alternately, and on January 25 will
meet in I'liilade!iliia, at the Reading Rail
road office, to establish tho monthly quota
of each interest.
