THE COAL MINE TRAGEDY•
The sad affair of the West Pittston coal
mine, by which so many persons lost their
lives, is still attracting attention. 'Many of
the men who were thought to have been res
cued from the dangers of the mine died one
by one s and the phrysicians in attendance ex

number of them were exceedingly strong
men, but the poisonous vapors of the mine,

It is believed that many of theni might

had been used at the mine was burned, and
in the confusion the expedient of applying
a new one was neglected, until too late.

A LESSON OF THE SCAFFOLD.
The case of Ruloff, who died last week on
the scaffold, is one of the most remarkable in
criminal records, The history of his wicked
ness, so far as it is known, is in itself most
extraordinary. Some twenty-Ave years ago
this man was indicted for the murder of his
young wile and infant child. The drown
etantial evidence adduced in the trial created
a universal conviction of his guilt; but as no
lifeless bodies could be found this-moral con
viction could not issue in a legal verdict.—
Subsequently Ruloff was tried a second time
on the same indictment, and on the ground
of new evidence he was pronounced guiltyand
sentenced to death. While laying in the
jail ewating execution he succeeded in mar-.
reipting young Jarvis, the jailer's son, and
through him effected his escape. Forming
then a partoeTehtp of crime with his deliv
erer, he perpetrated a long series of burglar.
ies and thefts . It was in one of these iniqui.
tous operations that the chapter of his crimes
found its end. With this same Jarvis and
another confederate he broke into a store in
Bioghamton,N. Y. The two clerks Who slept
in the building were aroused. In the strug
gle which followed Ruloff drew a pistol and
shot dead one of the bravo clerks. In the
retreat which followed, the two associates of
Ruloff lost their way in the darkness, and,
falling into the river;
ware drowned. Ruloff
was captured on the following day. The evi•
deuce brought against him in the trial which
followed was unanswerable. Be was again
condemned to death. Last week be met hie
aeeteoce on the scaffold, in Binghamton.
Bat extraordinary as is this career of Grime
in itself, it is even more extraordinary in view
of the character of the man. This Ruloff was
among the most intelligent and cultivated
men in the land. According to his own state•

years, and soon became proficient in all the
English branches. When a young man he

time he pinned the study of botany, °hernia

@elf to.acquiring a knowledge of medicine.—

a science of language. to 1869 he appeared
in the Philological convention which sat at
Poughkeepsie, and astorinde3 the learned

which he has been awaiting in jail the 'day
of his otteention, he has been visited by

Marriage is an institution ordained by God.
A good husband supplements the weakness
of a woman with his rude, rough strength.
A good wile softens the rude, rough man
with the tenderness of her own being. Mar-
riage is coming into the soul, bringing with
it new duties and joys, a revelation of hear.

salvation to both parties. Many a young
man has been urged on in his oareer by the
feeble woman who stands by hie side, aiding
him by her love and spirit to rouse hie en
ergies, so thas at last he is able to teach the
height of his ambition. Whilb we muss ad
vocate marriage, we must not join those who
with th e keenest satire tedionle the bachelor
and maid.
Can there be greater heroism in the reso
lution of a young man who never dreams of
a home of his own while his aged mother
needs hie strong arm and aid ; the maiden
who banishes her dreamt, of hope while the
sick room calls her ? No—these holiest dn

'lie is over the little brook,' said the lad.—
•Wbat!' said the reverend gentleman, shook

wont spattering and splashing .through the
water and mud after a butterfly. 'lie has
been over to the little dam brook all day;
and if you don't believe it, you eau go up to
the house and ask mother.
The clergyman sought an interview with
the mother immediately, and complained of
the profanity of her child. After telling her,
however, of what the lad said, she laughing

HELD HER Hamm FOREVER —The Al:
exandria (Va.)Gezette mentions the novel
suicide of a little girl twentyone months of
age, the child of .111r.Wm. Deavers, about
nine voiles below Alexandria. The child
held her breath while in a pet, as children
frequently do, and died, although she was
perfectly well before the crying fit. An et.
featual way to prevent unfortunate results of
this kind is to throw cold water io the face
of the child as soon as it begins to hold its
breath. The shook of the wirer will make
it gasp, and necessarily force it to take
breath, as well as divert attention from the
fit of anger.

and from the effoots of, which there was a
nigger funeral the next day.
