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lug 1,000,000 tons was withdrawn, the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.

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.

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."

OUR SOUTHERN BUDGET
From oun Srtxi.u. Coitnr.sro.jnr.XT.
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

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

ago she came South for her health. Slip i
was a pbyic-al wreck. Sho liegan life

could out of doors. Shu walked. She

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. Uroi
peetors are given an opportunity of te
curlng very low rates of transportation
