Tho Wrong Ccnple "Hitcbed."
The Hungarians employed at tho Bethle
hem iron works by their queer language
frequently cause trouble. Their Utest er
ror was rather amusing. A couple of that
ationalltv, desiring to be married, called
on a justice of the peace, and took along a
Hungarian eouple to act as witnesses. The
strange names confused the well-meaning
justice, and instead of marrying the first'
mentioned couplo he united the witnesses
for better or for worse." Some time af
terwards, news of his mistake bavin
eached him, he sent word to both the
couples to come before him again. When
they appeared ho divorced tho couple he
had already married, and then joined the
right couple. Ho then wound up the. com
plication of ceremonies by sending in a bill
for two mattlages and one divorce.

Anthracite Coal Itsms.
The meeting between representatives of
the anthracite coal companies shipping to
Philadelphia, were continued Saturday.
Their object, It Is stated, Is not to advance
the rate of tolls of SI, 50 to $1,80 per ton
from shipping points to that city, but to
establish a through uniform rate from the
mines for all compaules. This rate Is to be
fixed at 30 Cents per ton for tho laterals
and the rato from tho shipping point will
remain tho samo as now. This lateral rate
will bo made to all producer without regard
to location of collieries.
Vessel owners were loth, to accent
rate of 85 cents per ton on cargoes of
anthracite coal to Eastern points, and tho
opinion Is expressed that the vessels will
go out of the eoal-carrylng business entirely
rather than take that rate.
The Lehigh Schuylkill Coal Exchange
have ordered that no change bp made In
tho present prices to tha lino and city trade
during May.
The anthracite coal presidents have fixed
upon 2,500,000 tons ns tho output for Ibis
month should the trade attin anything like
a normal condition. The stock of the
domestic sizes on hand at tidewater ship
ping points are about 500,000 tons, and
unless they shall be reduced soon

mer. Saturn and Venns Daring May.
Saturn Is evening i'tar. Though exceed
ed In size and brilliancy by V-uius and
Jupiter, we give him the place of honor on
the planetary records for May, for, after
the passage of this month, his light will
grow dim among the brotherhood, owing
to his neaf approach to the great luminary.
Saturn also figures In the most Interesting
planetary event of the month. On the
Bth at noondaySaturn and Venus aro In
conjunction, the ringed wonder of the skies
being at that time 2 15 south of the fair
est of the stars. A powerful telescope
will bring oat the planets at the tlino of
conjunction, or at tho moment when they
are in the same right ascension, but.observ-
ers with the unaided eye will find a lovely
picture painted on the celestial canvas on
tho evenings of the SOth and 30th'. On the
former evening Saturn will bo east of
Venus, and on tho latter evening he will
be west of her. Tha meeting and passing
of two large planets Is always a noteworthy
event. The moon on tho day of her first
quarter will lend hor sllyery light to the
scene, and tho two bright planets will hang
side by side in the western sky, coni'rtg In
to view soon after sunet, and continuing
to adorn the firmament until after 10o'-
clock. It Is as Interesting to watch the
approach of the two planets as It is to ob
serve them when they are at tho nearest
point, and this may be done on every even
ing during the month.

Important Information.
Our times surpass those of Solomon more
than his days surpassed tho years of Egyp'
tlan bondage. We can buy a box of matches
now for one cent, bttt Solomon with all his
wealth couldn't buy one, match. The
queen of Sheba thought Solomon's wisdom
and greatness wero beyond comprehension.
What would sho have thought to have seen
a steam engine or a Pullmau palaco car?
Solomon in one year received six hundred
and sixty-six taionts of gold, but with all
of it he couldn't haye bo'ight ona coal-oil
amp. no had fourteen chariots and 12,
000 horsemen, but hn could not send a tele
gram to Hiram that he wanted a cedar raft
as soon as it could bo shipped; and he
couldn't give his messenger a horsa'that
could trot his mile In 2:30. We have little
conveniences In the almshouses that would
havn been a great luxury to the Queen of
Sheba. W e can buy a watch for ten dol
lars that Solomon's kingdom could not have
purchased. U'o haven't so many wives as
he had, but wo have better ones and better
children. He had the theory of training
children but he never put It Into practice,
There never were any times so good as the
times we live In; after we are all dead times
will be better veti Remember, kind reader,
that this world Is better to-day than It was
when you came Into it, and it will still be
better when you go out. It Is getting bet'
ter all the time. Washington, the first
president of tho United States, never saw
a steamboat; John Adams, tbe second
president never saw a railroad; Andrew
Jackson, the seventh president, never saw
the telegraph; Abraham Lincoln, tho six
tcenth president, never thoucht of putting
his ear to the telephone. Wo can buy four
cigars for a nickel and Columbus never
taw a cigar or a nickel. The poor, honest
working girl can own a sewing machine,
but if all of Solomon's wlvcst had pooled
their 'pin-money" they could not hav
secured one; we can tend a letter for tw
cents but Samson couldn't possibly
si-n.l one to his wife to tell her he
would certainly come back, Samson had
a better mode of catching foxes than w
have. We can eat breakfast in Boston
dinner In Now York and 6upper In-Baltl
more; while it would baya taken Washing'
ton a month to make this trip j we can ba
a steel pen for a cent to write a letter to
friend In England, while Braddock would
have had to chase an old gander for an
hour for a quill, and then had no good
knife to make a pen with. Don't speak-
any more of the good old times, when w
are living In the very best times the world
has ever had. But limes will be better yet
