Thk town of Until, Eiifrland, is suf ferinir from an epidemic which is not quite so contagious as the fjrip. The epidemic in question is that of twins, no less than six pairs having recently been contributed by the wives of miners at one colliery, and two others adding triplets to the record. OnovKK Clhvklanu is throwing his whole weight against the doctrine of expansion. Since he got stuck in the mud a few days ago he has made up his mind that the United States ought to stay at home and fix the local roads rather than to be yearning for foreign turnpikes that wo know not of. TimHaldwin Locomotive Works, at Philadelphia, have "rush" orders for ilfty-six locomotives, hixteen of which are for China, the t-econd order from that far-ofT land. Ordinarily at this season it hus been found necessary to reduce the working force, but in order to get their work out on eon tract time the force has recently been increased to over 5,000 men. The capacity of the works is 1,000 locomo tives per annum. Thk passing of the general pension bill in the House, carrying an appro priation of SMS.OOO.OOO. without any opposition from the Democrats, South or North, is significant. It means that tho sectional line lias dropped out. Allen, of Mississippi, remarked that when he entered the House four teen yeSrs ago pension hills always precipitated a bloody-shirt discussion. There was nothing of that sort in the House in this case, however, and there will not be in the Senate. Tint demoralization of the market for anthracite coal last summer and fall was attributed to the action of the Delaware, Lackawanna and West ern railroad In cutting rates, tihortly afterward it was announced that this action mlelit result in a change in the management of thut corporation Noiv tile rumors of the resignation of President Sam. Slouit ami Vice Presi dent Holdeii. who is in immediate charge of coal trallic, are revived in such a manner that considerable credence is given them by men in the trade. Now that the grip is again epidemic it behooves every one to keep the body warm and especially the feet. While the present attack is reported not us virulent as that of eight years ago, it leaves tho system notably sus ceptible to pneumonia. Its most pro nounced symptom is said to be ex treme weakness, and physicians ad vise against lighting it oil but to stay at home and get under treatment as quickly us possible. It Is so wide spread that its advent here may be looked for at any time.
