Vcu:m It not be a good Idea to organ ize n Hoard of Trade In this borough? 3Iauy of our neighboring towns arc moving In this dlreetlon, w ith the view of Inducing manufacturers to locate In llielr midst. We have as good facilities as any town in the Lehigh Yalley, and we see no roison If the proper spirit is carried and Inducements oiTered why Lehlghton should not he favored with some ol the "good thing's" going, and so sot the town "booming." Who will make the first move in this matter? TitK result of the first year of the coal combination shows that the production was not restricted, butc.imc within 170,- uoii ions 01 me largest amount ever mined In one year. Although the light lug 1,000,000 tons was withdrawn, the companies produced It and (W:!,oi'll tons more. In December every company did Its best to mine as much as It could. During the year the Pcnnsylvanh Hall- road Company mined nearly 1,000,000 tons more than was allotted to It. The companies which kept the agreement best were the. Heading, Delaware and Hudson, and Pennsylvania Coal. Hut little over three weeks Intervene between now and tho time for holding the borough election, and it Is the duty of every taxpayer to see to it that no man Is chosen to assist In the adminis tration of our local government who is not in every way abla and competent Tho selection of goo 1 and well qualified men for lral oilieers U of as great inv portanco to the citl.ens of the borough as the election or Slate ollleers.

Broftini's Hew York Letter. Special to the Cuinox Aiivocati:. Among a certain set there is an anxi ous Inquiry as to tho whereabouts of Mrs. Peter H. .Sweeny, who since Mr. Sweeny's return liai for some reason best known to herself, sought tho most impenetrable seclusion. The life of Mrs. Sweeny would furnish material for finite a roiiianee, though dark and heavy clouds shroud her existence at present. Twenty jeais ago, Sirs, Sweeny, then a beautiful young girl, was acknowledged to be one of the belles of Haltlmore,a city celebrated for Its beau tiful women. While still In her teens he attracted the attention of William F. Page tho artist, who wooed and won her. She was young and ambltlous.nnd wanted position In society, which Page, then in the zenith of his fame, was able to give her. He felt flattered by her beauty and itgratilied his vanity to hear men and women praise her, and scan ning the outlines of ber beautiful form and face,eonceledthat she would make a magnificent model for his Venus, on which net to his head of Christ ho hoped to lay his claim to Immortality. Much praise had made him, like Mes sonler. ovei bearing anil intolerably vain. To differ with him onanjthlng was to make, him your hitler enemy, ami Mrs. Pai) like nin,t beautiful women had tt will of her own and lll;ed-lo follow It, and It was not long till ilieie was more storm than sunshine In :he Page house hold. Mm. Page had been (.polled and llalteied In her.ghlhuod. and being brimful of tab ut was naturally of a bright And sunny imposition." Mr. Page eared for nothing outside, of his canvass and his palelie, and II was not very long till they drifted apart. Page was twice the age of his wife, arrogant, cold and austere, lie had been follow t-d by a troop of woishlpper who made him believe that no such artist had co existed bctoiv. licmbrandt, Vandyke, Haphael and Coiieglo were all doomed to take a second place, and no praise was loo monstrous or absiud to this modern Jupiter uf the Aits. .Mrs. Page did not share in the general debt. Ion, and while aekuywl,.,gng 10r husband's great ability h freely criticised JiU works, nnd thin 1-onveitcd him into erne of ber bitterest cnemlcj. To show the spceles of adulation paid Page by bis worshippers: Tlieodoro Tlllon owned theorlgnal of his Christ. Ho kept It on an easel Inn darkened loom and neM-r allow 1-d the profane light of day to .shine upon it. Mi. Page's life soon became intolerable and eventually she obtained dlvuu-e. She was not long In her grass weeds when she took to tho stage, for which sha had abundant tal ent a well as (jretil prrmnal beauty. She attracted the atlt-utlou of Peter I). SlV-tfliy, then a widower betwvji fifty mid .l.ty,aiil to the great asloulsjiiiiiit of the Inn n nmri led him. If thethst mar riage w.-.$ a liiNftiiliuie, the second was a t-alamlly. .Vol bins could lie imaxljird mom opposite hi t-haracler than Peter Ji. Sweeny an I his wife, Siie was joung, gay and beautiful; fond of soci ety, fond of 'idtitlr.itlou of which shf got her full share, not only from men but women. She lot:d music, and her former triumphs on the stago haunted her Into private life, Mr. Sweeny on tho other hand was almost a recluse; tho only mystery about him was how such ii man over succeeded In public life, even in the halcyon days of the ring. It was a dllllcult thing to get an Interview with hint, and newspaper re porters avoided him as men usually avoid tho smallpox or cholera. Ills only pleasure seemed to be In the society of priests and monks; ho poised for a very' pious upright man, and sisters of charity were nlways wclcotno to his house. The consequence was that the church was always at his back, and or ders went out at every Municipal elec tion to see to it, that whoever failed of election Mr. Sweeny should never get left. Mr. Sweeny's temper was harsh, dark anil gloomy Mrs. Sweeny's was bright and sunny; they could no more mingle than oil and water, and at last she left his house In Paris and returned to the United States. The lady has the sincere commiseration of every one who knows her. Starting life under circum stances which promised a glorious nnd happy future, her life appears to have been for many years one piolonged sor row. Her husband is back In bis old haunts, but most of the men whom ho knew and associated with In public life are dead, or If living, have, a disgraceful brand upon them, lie Iluds himself al most a stranger In the city which he left for exile twelve years ago; his pun ishment Is not yet ended nor w ill It be till the grave closes over him. An unpleasant discovery has been made In the city of llrooklyn. l-'or four years past the city has bad a Hepubllcan Mayor, to whom was given the power of appointment, without the usual con firmation of the Hoard of Aldermen, of every head of a department In the muni cipal government. Tills power of ap pointment made tho government an ab solute despotism nnd worked exceeding ly well as long ai the despot was all right, but last fall a change took place and a Democratic Mayor and council were elected. The Mayor was Inaugur ated on January 1st, and ho has just made the alarming discovery that there are not ofllccs enough to go around. There are about tlfty claimants for every place, and It appears that the Mayor entered into a dicker with tho lager beer brewers previous to his election, bv which in consideration of their support the brewers were to be allowed to name an excise commissioner. The Mavor denies the bargain, but II. 11. Seharman, the president of the lager beer brewers association declares that he himself made the bargain with the Mayor. He called at the Mayor's office and told him to his face of the shameful dicker, ap parently unconscious that be and his friends had sold their votes and influ ence for a most shameful consideration, The dispute In the Mayor's oflico waxed so warm that Mr. Seharman and the new Mayor almost came, to blows.wblch were only prevented by Scharman's friends hurrying him out of the room, The Excise Commission is supposed to be perfectly non-partlr.an. The brewers would have considered It a terrible thin; If the temperance people had gone to the candidate before election and ma It a condition of their support that he would put a prohibitionist on the Hoard of Kxclfc, and they would have consul ered tbe .Mayor illsgraccl that made 3iich a shameful bargain, but this Is what the brewers acknowledged tliev did and were angry because they got cheated. Hrother Talmago went fortho brewers at his Friday night mcetin; wltli a sharp stick and he gave the whole party a dressing down that they will not soon for;et. After being lulled Into sweet forget fulness that there was such a thing as winter, a blizzard swept down on us which has moved us about thirty de grees nearer the north pole. How It did blow and how it did snow, and at the conclusion or tho storm an icy wind swept tho streets dilvlng thousands of tramps and beggars to the shelter of the station bouses, which were crammed to suffocation with miserable suffeiing wretches who have no home oi shelter. A man can have no more instructive lesson than to make a round of tbe station houses on a stormy night. It Is not alone t lie wretched tramps and street beggars that you find there. There me thousands of men and women joung gills and boys, who come here ecry year in search of employment; their lit tle capital gives out, and they are merci lessly turned on Iho streets. The nights in these station houses are awful, but bitterer than all is the morning. In the thork gloom of a winter morning, when tho snow or sleet is falling, thousands of shivering wretches are turned out on the ttreets to allow the sciulibers to purify the den where they slept the night befoie. Then comes the tmestlon of breakfast, and bow ibey are all fed. Ho who feeds the ravens alone can tell. Notwithstanding the storm, right In the teeth of a still nor' wester, stocks went up from two to live points. All of the Gould stocks were as Mltfaslf limy had a ramrod down their backs, and It is pretty evident that If Father lay has retired from tho Held, Sou (ieorgo H determined that Missouri Pa cific, and all of bis father's liltfe'pcU mall not be tent totbo "Demnltlon bow wows." Kvcn Wabash, which was a subject for a coroner's inquest a few months ago, shows signs of returning to life, and I should not bo suipilsed if there was a bagful of money In It for some one; but 1 think when the man turns up his namo will bo found to be uonld. The war" between the rival Democrat ic factions In this city grows hotter every day. and it Is quite afo to say that tho name of the next Major will not bo Grace. There is no denvlii'- It- Tammany Is on top, and now thero Is a scramble to get back by the patriots who deserted tbeold sblpfor the County ucmocraey two years ngo. The name. of Hubert O. Tboinnson. tha .Timlin,. Thomas of tho County Democracy, Is now scarcely mentioned among poll tleiaiis, and a Tammany man told me In confl lence hu was dead as u door nail. John Kelly is a very slek man, and will probably inner again mingle hi our poll lies. Tlie great O'Orudy who switched oil from Tammany with llutlcr in the last election, has been forgiven his politi cal sins, and Is now back again safe within the fold. The English and Ceiman Operas are still doing a good business, and It Is said that Mrs. Thurbcrniid Mrs, Hclmont, , the patronesses of the English Opera, spent over 100,000 In costumes alone. ' Certain It Is Unit no such dresses have ! ever been seen on the American stago before. Silks and satins that would stand alone, and silk velvets that can walk off by themselves. All the women are crazy about them, and If you come to New York, don't let your wife, go to tho opera, or she will burst you beforo you get home. HltOADHHIM. WasMiigloii Bjrs and Gossip. From our Special Correspondent. Washington, D. C, Jan. IS, '60. Mil. I.nrroii: The week past has been the coldest experienced In Wash ington for many years. Tho river Is cowrcd with n solid sheet of Ice, and navigation has been entirely suspended, A foot of snow upon the smooth pave ments has afforded excellent sleighing, while the ponds of the Fish Commission have been transformed Into mammoth skating rinks. Owners of sleighs have been in great demand, delapldatcd old box.es upon runners, which in the North would hardly be deemed worthy of tho title of "sleigh" have rented readily at the modest rate of five dollars per hour. Tho attention of Congress has been about evenly divided between the sever al important questions beforo it for con sideration. The Senate has held scvei nl animated discussions upon tho sub ject of the admission of Dakota. It Is not Improbable that In the Senate a bill of admission will bo passed, but while the Republicans In tho House favor the admission, they know tha.t the measuro would meet with opposition from the Democrats, and so do not take much Interest In It. Although Dakota has been knocking at the doors of Congress for three winters it Is probable that tho Committee on Territories will not even report the mcasuie to tho House. The sliver question has been dis cussed in all its phases, and It now ap pears that the silver advocates liave so strong a backing that notwithstanding the recommendation of the President, that the issue of silver be reMricted,that It will bo Impossible to cheek the coin age at present. Col. Snow den, who for many years was Superintendent of the Philadelphia Mint, says in reply to Con gressman Horr's declaration that "there are fifty million counterfeit silvei dollars In circulation;" that "It would be Im possible to circulate imitation dollars In any considerable amount without de tection. The dollars could not be mint ed without costly and elaborate machin ery. With all Its appliances the Gov ernment has been able to tloat only 50, 000,000 silver dollars In bcven years. Kvidcntly counterfeiters could not dup licate this issue secretly." Col. Snow den concludes that theieare fewer coun terfeit dollars in circulation than at any previous time in the history of the Gov ernment. The Hoar Presidential succession bill which passed the Senate before the holi day recess, occupied the attention of the House during the greater portion of the week, and when put to a vote on Friday It was passed by a vote of 18:1 to 77, and it now awaits the signature of the Presl dent. Notwithstanding the fact that the Washington monument has frequently been the subject of .iifavorabln criti cism, it appears that the advocates of the plan are perpetuating the memory of the nation's dead by the erection of a monument of a magnitude commensur ate with the degree of reverence enter tained by the people for the deceased, still have their representatives in Con gress. A bill was introduced In tho Senate on Monday last providing for tho construction of two monuments In Washlngton.one of which Is to be erect ed in memory of Lincoln, and tho other of Grant. The monuments are to cost $1,000,000 each, and are to be completed within ten years after the passage of the bill. The great telephone contest which has been occupying so much of the time of tho Secretary of tbe Interior, has at last been decided In the manner that was expected. The Secretary holds that the Hell patents are contestable, and should bo brought into the courts. Ho says: "In my opinion, the proceeding should be In the name of tho Government, and wholly at the expenso and under the conduct and control of the Govern ment," and be concludes by saying "Such a proceeding, so conducted, will comport with tho dignity of the Govern ment and tbe gravity of tbe subject, ami will ensure a linal and just adjudication of the merits of the controversy." the magnificent residence of Hon- John W. Foster, ex-Mluister to Spain, at No. 1 10.1 1 street, was partially des troyed by lire on Tuesday evening lasli The magnlllecnt furniture of the house was almost entirely ruined.

SoTiii:nv Pinex, X.C.. Jan. 10. One day recently while riding in n first-class" car (dawn hero all the coaches are designated as filst nnd suoond class in true Knglish style) wc overheard a lady from New York city remark that she was in love with I lie South. She said that she would bo perfectly miser able if sbo thought that sho would be obliged by circumstances to live con stantly in the chilly and changeable North. She had spent her childhood mid maiden days on a very valuable farm in southern Ohio. Her later day. had been upent In the groat mclroioIis of tho nation. Sho had never known poverty, ind what ncccusarlcs nnd comforts sho needed sbo inviiriablv got. Six vears ago she came South for her health. Slip i was a pbyic-al wreck. Sho liegan life anew. Sho spent every hour that she could out of doors. Shu walked. She rule horseback. She took buggy rides. She iryuiiKsl her health; ami who can blame her for loving what had actually L'ivell ber Hfil nu vi11 n. 1t.mi,in-.- What Foine jieoph- frmi tin ' t or J Xorth found fault wlfh She found to be .

Tho cost language was tho sweetest of lingual of ,,iml"B under the Heading has been music. There was snmethiiiir mellow and beautiful about the. tones, the accent, nml tho general utterance.

Somo man will come into the sand regions of the South some day prapared to ilrlvo wells and supply pumps for the same. The pine-cribbed wells will givo way to the tube wells, and tbe man who furnishes the pumps and drives the wells will make "a heap" of money. Tho old style wells must go. They have had (heir day, and they will not bo mourned. It is a well known aphorism tliat.":i green Christmas makes a fat grave-yard.' And yet green Chrisltmtscs are the rule and white ones the exception in tho South. The "green Christmas" may ap ply to the North, but it certainly 'does not to the South, for we have here in the plno woods the finest climate and the most healthful region in the world. We have had a few chillydays, butnouethal prevented labor. Some expressions made by Southern ers are quite noticeable, and at times rather puzzling to tho hearer who" lias never heard them beforo. Down here tho word "sir" is used extcnsively,and is invariably pronounced "eah." In the North one hears "no," "yen," "I guess," and "I think." Down hero it is "no, nh," "yes, tab," "1 reckon so, nih." Down here wo have the "right smart" which, like the Irish potato, can be used in various ways. A "right smart" man in the North would be a man possessed of a great deal of intelligence. Down hero we have intelligence, distance, "Itight smart," quantity, as applied to quality', weather, almost everything. Then we have down here the "point," pronounced "pec-rl." A huntcrs-.irpi-iscs a rabbit, and he calls it "jumping'' a rab bit. A bush is often called a "squat" Then there is the word "plumb."' Down here a tiling may bo wet, dry, In't, ,-,,1,1 "plumb" settled, distracted, sure, honest, and just "plumb.". In the Xorth this term is used almuM, ii not quite, exclusively by carpenter, and it simply means "plumb." 1 mention these peculiarities ofspeecji siiiqdV.a? peculiarities. Anon I shall mention ollarj. I'Uo ih: nt in a spirit of criti cism, but because they are mattery of in terest to many readers. There is a vein in everybody's make-up that makes ss become interested in what is new or strange. Curiosity is not all confined to the gentler sex, either. Wliilo T lira treating on this subject I am reminded tiiat a lady recently went into a store not a thousand milisfrom here and called witli the most perfect nonchalance for two dozen clothes-pins. The clerk handed her a paper of pins. The same lady called for a dust-pan. The clerk looked puz.led, said they didn't keep 'em, and finally asked what a dust pan is used for. Writing of clothes-pins reminds me of a little incident. A negro girl employed as a domestic laughed her self sick recently over the maimer in which two men from the North tlid their washing. "They done got their elo'e.s out on n nnfi:, and they stuck some of the funniest little wooden things, like tone's, over 'em you ever did sec." And then sho laughed again, and tried to pull her hair out straight. Paper twine is universally u.ed in the pine regions by all the store keeper-. It is done for economy's sake. Common matches aro entirely unknown. Parlor matches are the only kind in iiiiuket lied ke.osene oil is very popular here. So arc red-top boots. The major j art t.f thu lantl is red. And the largo river are as nearly red as lliey can get colll-e colored. 'ovv can't we appropiiately call this a "well-red region? Tho Himo opportunities to get cheap homes arc otlercd to-day that were ollered a year ago. the number of people ac cepting the oilers is daily iucrojii g. Men who want homes can get them hcio :it a cost of a little inoney.nmio ambition, anil an eipial amount of work.
