Our city has been provided, liberally by the
ympathctic peoplo of the country with lands

A frightful colliery explosion occurred to-day
at Abercorne, near Newport, Monmouthshire,
Tbero were 371 in tho pit, 80 of whom have
been rescued. It is feared that no others have
survived, as the pit is on firo,
London, Sept. 12. Tho full extent of tho
terrible diaMvr in a cool mino at Aboreoroo
yosterd y is now known. At half.paut two
this afternoon flooding of the pit was com
menced. At that hour the firo was within a
short distance of tho bottom of the shaft, and
all hope of further roncoe had to be abandoned.
When this decision was announced to tho rela
tives of tho 251 men still in the pit, thu scene
was terrible and beyond description. Thirteen
additional bodies of the viotims were recovered
bifure the Hooding of fho pit began.
London, Sept. I!. Tbo lews of life by tho
colliery diw-ster is unprecedented. There is i o
hopo of becuring any more alivo as tho work
ings of the mine ore very intricate, and extend
over threo miles. So far only about Mvcn
corpses have been recoverod. Tho uxplosion
occurred soon after uoon. Thaw on the bank
kuew it by thu rumbling noino and thu a-yxut
of vast volumes of dense smoke. All tho jo
pie in that district rushed to the pit mouth iu
consternation. Scenes of dUtress aro indescrib
able. According to tho latest advices tho pit is
still burning, and the managers are dihcuiuing
the propriety of Hooding it, as it beems certain
all the men aro cither burned to death or suf
focated. Flooding will probably bo briefly de
layed until tho last hopo is abandoned.
Ten more miners badly burned have been
rescued. The body of one boy was recovered.
The fate of the remainder may be judged from
the fact that explorer found fourteen dead
bone only few yards from the foot of the
shaft. The air in Dm mla is very imfmt9.

Is it possible, nay, docs it not look probable
that, judging from the result of tho Paris ex
hibition, tho Short-horn, hitherto regarded as
tho royal brood, the unapproachablo breed,
may not havo to acknowledge tho eaqual merit
at least of tho Angutt, a breed which only yoa
terday had tho advantages of a herd-book?
From tho cxccllcnco somo of tho animals of tho

that eminent breeder, Mr. M'Comliio, it would
seem that time, and tho continuation of tho
Mine caro were alono required to givo the world,

tle at tho great Paris Exhibition, to cousider
whether tho v may not be pro'JUbly imported,
and bo of advantage to American agriculture.

"This is, indeed, a proud week for Tilly four

An election 'to Parliament in 1-lngland and

men of wealth can atlbrd to indulge iu. A re
cent London letter to Tho Nation cays: "It is
calculated that a acnernl election ixwts some
thing like four million I sterling, and all this
oxiiendituro, except tho comparatively incon
siderable sum that comes out of tho Tory elec
tion chest, falls nnou tho candidates. Boroiiuh
seats cannot bo contested except at a cost of
from fivo hundred to fivo thousand pounds fur

anu no county iu wiu uuiivu j-wuiuuiu iu u

Parliament must put much money in circula
tion and mako lively times for the voting popu
lation. Tho fact that no man can bo elected
on his merits or tho claims of his party, and
that no largo an expenditure of money is neces
sary, reflects very unfavorably upon the politi
cal virtue of British voters, and shows that the
voters of the United States aro puro in com
parison with their Knglith cousins. In Eng

to win, and nonce tho ad van tag o enjoyed by

Vrocmon, arouse! defend your state;
The pagan hordes aro at onr gate.
In droyesthey come, our protest) mock,
While rulers wait, and parties talk.
Countless in number, rite for spoil,
They crowd us out and curso our soli:
Oar mines they rob, oar trade they take,
Our labor seek, our paupers make.
Awakol and hold these golden lands
From hireling hosts, from heathen hands;
From aliens, heartless, lawless low,
Who know no friends, nor mercy show:
Whoso loathsome ways nd leprous breath
Shadows our happy homes with death;
Like rushing titles, they overflow
Our peaceful va'es with wavcB of woo.
Patriots, parties, bold and brave,
From swarming serfs this nation uvo;
Let human bondage never moro
Make war and stnfo and seas of gore.
Billions of debt and countless graven,
Must not be caused by coolie slaves.
Your country guard from dangers, all,
Tnough traitors tlco and tyrants fall.
Proud veterans, "bine and gray," unite;
The invadont halt, and has their flight.
Their subtle leaders long have planned
To hare and hold this sunny land.
By every ship their troops arrive
For aid and arms ihey eager strive.
Strength let them gain and we shall feet
Their secret shots, their stealthy steel
Some selfish men, to ssvo a dime.
Employ these slaves a sordid crime.
Our goods and lands, rents, profits fall;
Swift judgment wages govern all.
Our workiDKmen this nation made;
On war's red fields their zeal displayed,
loyal and brave, they'll never cower;
And woe to those who test their power.
Dreaming, I see in years near by
O'er towns and forts the dragou tly;
Our country's tlag for bribes ititra,cd,
Our honor lost, our progress stayed ;
Our henna destroyed, our hcroeidead,
Our cities sacked, our kindred tied;
Our splendid states, onr riches rare,
Captured for China' clans to share.
Walking, I hear from hills ami halls
Tho people shout, liko buglu calls;
"No feudal lords, no foreign slaves,
Shall live where freedom's tanner waves;
Her e rsnk the wealth mutt not oiiikizo
'Hopo man's rights, increasu his woes!
Slave-traders, go! down, schemers hold!
Boiiilmen, away! thebu shores we holdl"
"Peacel" capital and cowards cry;
There is no peace- the conflict's niyli.
Where factious statesman trifling stand.
The masses move, their rights command;
Rouse! gallant freeman, show your might;
With fearless ranks await the fight,
When all these servile hordes shall flee
Far from our sight, far o'er the sea.

BncwvuA, BaLortm, t
Aug. 15, 1878. I
I havo been for tho last week, andwould
Kko to rcnuin longer, in tho city of BrussolLi.
It has been called a minature Paris, and in tho
number and magulfioenco of its public edifices,
parks, and monuments, as well as in tho
breadth, extent, and cleanliness, of its boule
vardi it has a strong resemblance- to a smaller
edition of tho French capital. Tho bnguago
spoken by the higher cl.mcs i. French, but the
ttonirn clature of tha stroolii is not much liko
t'it of Pari". The hotel nt which 1 ant stop
ping is on tun "Rue des Douze Apotren," which
in plain English is the street of tho dozen
ApostluJ. There Is another street having tho
namo of "The street of Good Herbs for Soup."
Belgium has not a long Hit of battles and mili
tary heroes liko Franco, so uho U compelled to
uso commou names for tho streets of her capi
tal. In Paris nearly every rue, nvenuo, and
lioulovard, suggests a history or assists to per
potuato a fame, as tho Avenue Wagram, tho
Boulevanl MalesherlMM, the Rue Voltaire. I
said tho French language was spoken in Bel
gium, but it is a very diUcrcnc rrenco irom
that spoken iu Parts. Tho working claarea
speak a French patow, but their vernacular
seeimsto bo Flemish. Tourists.do not usually re
main at RrusHells much longer than may bo
necessary to drivo over tho city, mako an ex
cursion to iho fiold of Waterloo, and buy somo
of tho famous Brussells Lice; but there is muoh
hero that will repay a longer and moro careful
study, Somo of the most renowned paintings
in tho world are on tho walls of tho Brussells
galleries, and tho works of tho great masters
are only less numerous hero than iu tho gallery
of tho Louvre. But it is not my intention to
write about tho t-alleries. monuments, and
architecture of this city, there is a moro inter
esting subject: Dogs I Hero I havo learned
tho meaning of tho expression "to work liko a
dog." Tho canine species is hero nsed for tho
purpose of draft to an extent that I havo never
heard of tholr being used oltiowhcro. Thoy aro
ussd iu this way to a limited extent in Switzer
land, Bnd to a greater extent in Frankfort and
Cologno, but in Brussells thoy aro a very im
portant factor in tho economy of transportation.
It is strango that moro lias not beeu written on
tho subject, and that siuco thoy prove so capa
ble thoy aro not nsed for light draft in other
countries. Tho loads thoy draw aro greater
than would bo supposed from tho weight of the
animal, greater, I am un iu proportion to tho
weight than thoso ilrawn by horses or male
but they aro usually employ od only m auxilia
ries, ono dog being harnessed under m cart tho
shafts of which aro hold and guarded by tho
owner. Tho axle of tho cart is arched in the
middle in order to enablo tbo animal to stand
erect. Harnoiwed with a simple round padded
leather oolUr, a pair of traces, and a book
band, the aaeistanoo ho gives his master, who
does little moro, exoopt on ascending ground,
than guide tho cart, is vory great. Usually
not moro than ono dog is attached to a cart,
but I havo seen as many as three, and tho
American consul told mo that he had seen six
and eight to one wacron, drawn in from the
country, loaded with wood, with tho driver on
top. In Brussells there aro many shops for the
manufacture and Halo of dog harneM( and is
them you may buy a plain set or quo ornament
eel with polished brass. There is a dog market
held every Sunday in this city, and hero every
variety of dog is bought and sold, tho buyers
and sellers being usually market and milk
women. I was particular to inquire of tho
American consul in relation to tho species of
dog preferred, but it soouts that thoy have no
particular brce-d, ami that no systematic effort
iias been inado to improve thu breed. I ob
served that tho dogs in most common use were
curs, of medium size, aiid of all colors. They
mm to 1h very enthusiastic pullers, moving at
the speed of a brisk walk for a man, and they
never balk; but the moment tho wagon stops,
the dog lies down; he is always tired, or has
been taught the wisdom of conserving his
xtrength.
To all appearances tho dogs of Brussells lead
but a dog's life, and all of thorn havo drooping
tails, and a dejected hang-dog olr; but bow
much better it is for them, for their country,
and for their posterity, to bo oogagod in hum
reapoctable employment, earning aa honest
livelihood, than to be killing sheep, gnawing
bonne, bayiothe moon, or rushing about the
streets with a tin pan to tholr tails, as in the
custom of too mauy of our free American dogs.
In Paris the white woolly spaniel is Lndispen
Hablu to a fine lady's toilet. Tho fair ParUitune,
whe ther she bo of the beau mondo or demi
monde, must havo her dog, and sho k-ads him
by a small chain when sho promenades, or
takes him iu her carriage when she drives. She
would no wore omit the littlo beast than phe
would forget her boots. There aru dog barbers
in Pons who earn a livelihood by trimming
theo littlo pots; the stylo for dogi this heasou
is to leave a girdle of hair around tho body and
around each lejj above the knee. ('. A. S.

A orrcspondent of tho Kansas Farmer ar
goes in favor of largo breeds aa follows i
"I assert that a man, can havo just m good

you wish to butcher your hogs at home and

perience lead i mo to think that the farmer b
tho great com valleys of IvniLwi, makes a grand
raistako when he adopts a smaller kind of hogs
for profit. Farmers do not want to kill their
hogs, but feed to soil on foot, for profit, and a
good, smooth lot of hogs that will weigh 300 to
400 pounds, will sell with any that fall below
that average.
Tho Cincinnati Enquirer gives the following

Major Scroggins, in a passion, stripped and
whipped his wifo's sister, tho vonngest daughter
of Dr. Hill. As soon as tho fathor heard of the
affair, bo wont to his son-in-law and demanded
an explanation. Major Scroggins said he had
acted on an impulse of tho moment. Dr. Dill
replied that he had no right to punish the ohild,
From words thoy went to blows, and tho minis
tcr had tho be'st of it. Major Scroggins woat
home, and after consulting with his friends,
sent a challenge to thu minister. This was im
mediately declined. Tho son-in-law armed
himself to thu teeth, and threatened to kill tho
parson at sight; and tho latter also bought a
revolver, trao day thoy chanced to moot on

"Aha! "cried thu major; "I'vogotyoul Ten
