The President's message and the
reports of the heads of the departments
were sent to Congress on Monday of
last week. The message is long and yet
contains little that is really of Interest.
Most persons who care to read such a
document, have already read it in the
daily papers, we therefore make no ex
tracts from it. The report of the Secre
tary of the Treasury however is very
interesting. By his showing, the receipts
from customs have exceeded the esti
mates by fifty-five millions, the internal
revenue receipts by nine millions, and
the total ordinary receipts by almost
seventy millions. On the other hand,
despite the payment of almost twenty
millions for arrears of pensions, the
total disbursements are only eight
millions greater than were estimated.
Out of this vast surplus of income over
seventy-three milliolis has gone to the
sinking fund, through whose operations
almost as large a part of the funded debt
or more than three and a half per cent
of the total, has been paid off. The re
ports shows the financial condition of
the United States to be better than that
of any of the great nations of the world.
Daring Robbery.
Early Weduesday evening last, while
John A. Lehman, a jeweler at 109 south
Thirteenth street, was alone in his store
he was startled by a crash of glass, and
turning found that one of his window
panes had been broken. A man reached
in and seized a tray of rings, with which
he proceeded to walk away. Mr. Leh
man jumped the counter and made a
ruBh for the door, but to his surprise
found it securely fastened with a rope,
and by the time he succeeded in opening
it the thief had escaped with his plun
der, the total value of which is between
$450 and $500. The fellow in his flight
dropped a small mallet, which had evi
dently been used to shatter the glass.
Several of the rings were afterward
found on the west side of Thirteenth
street, near Sansom, showing that the
thief took that direction. Thirteenth
street in that vicinity is generally
crowded about the hour the robbery was
committed, but no one appears to have
seen the man at work or heard the
sound of the breaking glass. Philadel

Another Mine Explosion.
Cardiff, December 10. A great ex
plosion occurred this morning at the
Penygraig new colliery, in the Ilhondda
Valley, Wales. It is believed that eighty-seven
persons have perished. An ex
ploring party has just discovered sixteen
corpses. The search is impeded by after
damp and debris. The pit is about a
mile from the Bcene of the great explo
sion in the DInas colliery, i.i the same
valley on January 13th, 3879, when
about sixty persons lost their lives.
- A later London dispatch says of the
explosion in the colliery of Penygraig,
.Wales, this morning: The shock of
the explosion was felt for miles around
the earth shaking as if there were an
tArthquake. There are also eighteen
horses in the pit, which is 450 yards in
depth. Eighty-seven men re known
to be dead.
, A Red Hot Collar.
A thrilling accident occurred at the
American Iron Works, on Bouth Side,
Pittsburgh, Thursday afternoon. While
Robert Moore was at work at his rolls
bis catcher failed to seize with bis tongs
a bar of white-hot Iron which had been
placed between the roils. The iron
twisted Itself thrice around the roll,
forming a "collar." The catcher struck
the iron, when there blew off a piece in
shape of a ring witli a stem twenty
Inches long. Running off at right
angles to the circle the band flew back
and fell around Moore's head, resting on
his shoulders. Quick as thought he
grabbed the long stem with his tongs
and the white-hot ring with his hand,
and with steady nerve and gentle move
ment lifted the fiery thing from his
shoulders. Ills face was badly burned
by the heat emitted from the iron, and
the flesh of his hand was cut in to the
bone. Afterward he put the ring over
his head. It was but two inches larger
in diameter than his head.
A Disgusting Sight.
Yesterday a young lady scarcely out
of her teens and a young man came to
this city with the intention of being
married to-day. Last evening they con
cluded to walk around for a while and
see the sights. While doing so the gal
lant wanted a drink of whiskey, and
when he took it, after much persuasion,
prevailed on the lady to do likewise,
although she strongly objected. It is
sald'that the single drink made her dead
drunk, she never having taken any be
fore. At any rate she was found lying
down and unable to move by the police,
and was hauled to the lockup in a cart,
to stay there until she sobered off. Her
escort was also captured and locked up.

Tricky Gloves.
On Friday afternoon a brakeman
whose name we did not learn had a nar
row escapeat the Fourth street crossing.
He had on a pair of heavy buckskin
gloves and was standing by a train. In
some way his hand was caught and held
fast by the cars, which were moving
slowly. Another train came slowly
along the next track In the opposite
direction, when he put his gloved hand
on it. This also stuck fast and the fel
low received a severe stretching before
one hand pulled loose. The gloves were
torn to pieces. Alioona Tribune.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washikqtow, D. C, December 8, 1880.
The Winter season here was Inaugurated
Monday by the convening of the last session of
the 40th Congress. The season Just opened
promises to be one of unusual gaiety and
splendor. One reason for which is that It is
tbe last of President Hayes' Administration,
and another is that no great political questions
are likely to arise in Congress to draw the
attention of 8enators and members from social
duties, as in the past two sessions. In fact,
people here are autlcipattng tbe enjoyment of
a WIntor in which politics will take a back
seat, and Republicans and Democrats will
meet In the brillant parlors of our fashiona
ble quarter, and enjoy an Intercourse unre
strained by the rememberanceof Congressional
abuse. .
The President's message was read in Con
gress Monday. Without entering - into any
elaborate description, the general opinion is
that it's recommendation of new legislation,
and changes in existing laws are all good, and
If acted on can not do other than benefit the
country. The growth of stalwart Republican
ism in the Presidential mind crops out early In
the message, In his advice to the House to seat
no member who came by such seat at the
expense of free suffrage, and a fair couut. I
am glad the President recognizes the necessity
of increasing our merchant marine service, and
recommends that Congress subsidize lines of
mall steamships to Bouth American ports, and
tbe West Indies. He rightly says that the
large Increase In our products and consequent
exports, demand that immediate measures be
taken to increase our Merchant Marine. He
also recommends, the laying of a Cablo across
the Pacific Ocean.
Congress will be asked within a (ew days to
Incorporate an Inter-oceanic company. This
company proposes to construct a canal via the
Nlcaragulan route. The act of incorporation
is now ready. Tho list of Incorporators em
braces many of the most wealthy aud prom
inent gentlemen In the United States. The
De Lessens scheme will not in the least inter
fere with the American project. It is stated
that all the money necessary for tbe work has
been assured.
In the absence of Chairman Atkins, Repre
sentative Biout, of Georgia, presided at the
meeting of the House Committee an appropria
tions to-day. Reports were received from the
snb-cominlttoea in charge of the pensions,
military academy, fortifications and consular
and diplomatic appropriations bills, all of
which were fairly advanced. It is thought
three, if not all four of these bills will be
ready to be reported to the House on Thursday.
Tbe sub-committee on tbe consular and diplo
matic bill will hold a conference with Secretary
Evarts to-day, and expect to perfect the bill
in a few days.
Admonished by the fact that a fire had Its
own way recently, all night In one of the cloak
rooms leading to the hall of the House of
Representatives, a lire extinguisher, on wheels,
bus been purchased for use at tbe Capitol. It
Is not known whether It Is to be used to put
out fires or wake np tbe watchman.

The Handsome Nlckle Plated New Home
tamp belli r Introduced to the public this Season
Is the most meritorious article ever offered
Agents to make money with, Is safer, and more
convenient than the Student Lamp, which has
heretofore had the reputation of being the safest
lamp made, It has a clamp to firmly attache
it to the Sewing Machine, Piano, Organ, Desk,
etc. The fear of the ordinary lamp being aeel
deutly upset or thrown from the table, Is entirely
relieved by this simple clamp contrivance. It
can be adjusted to throw the light Just where It
Is wanted to suit the eyes, and can be converted
Into a handsome wall lamp. It has the best
argand burner, a filling Indicator, and conveni
ent match box, and Its price Is within the reach
of every one. It has been fully tested, and
editorially endorsed by the "Western Christian
Advocate," "Am. Christian Review," "Herald
and Presbyter," "Journal and Messenger," and
"Christian Standard," the leading Religious
papers of Cincinnati, and Is endorsed by the
Mayor and Tost-Master of Cincinnati, the Agent
of the American Express Company and Presi
dents of Insurance Companies, as bel ng the safest
most convenient and best lamp made.
1 here are three reasons why Agents should
seek such ou article to canvass for first for Its
absolute safety and great convenience, It is need
ed In every home second Its low price makes Its
sale immense, third It will be a credit to handle
such an article. One soutliren Agent writes. It
sells faster than Gen. Lee's Portrait sold right
after the war, another writes it beats the palmy
days of the Sewing Machine, Its rapid sale, low
price, and liberal terms surprise old Agents.
