The news of the confirmation of

States senate was received at Ber

the American minister was person

Bismarck and many other resi

of the London dock laborers is
impending with the promise of a
long and bitter contest for suprem
acy between the dock companies
and the laborers which will be fol
lowed by all the distress and mis
ery attendant upon such occa
sions. A London dispatch Feb. 7, says:
An explosion occurred to-day in a
colliery at Abersycham, in Mon
mouthshire, ten miles northwest of
Newport Three hundred miners
were imprisoned, and for several
hours no communication could be
had with them. An opening was
finally effected at noon. Two hun
dred of them have been rescued.
A number of those taken out were
seriously injured. Rescuing par-
ties are still searching for those
remaining in the mine. Later
news report that sixty dead have
been taken out Latest estimates
place the loss of life at not less
than loO. Jr'hysicians in attend
ance pronounce half of the number
dead to have been killed by fire
aDd concussion, and the other
half by suffocation. Several of
those taken out have since died.
It is ascertained that the mine has
been in a dangerous condition for
some time past; that long ago an
explosion occurred in an adjoining
pit by which five men were killed.
The damaged pit was flooded, and
water gradually forced the gas in
to the pit which was the scene of
to-day's disaster. Upon this in
formation it is already suggested
thnt the owners of the mine be
prosecuted for criminal negligence.
A DE1IOCKAT1C GOVERNOR.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Ex-Governor Richard J. Ogles
by, of 111., when he was in New
York several vears ago, was invit
ed by a friend to dine at Delmoni
co's. This was before his election
for governor five years ago, and
while he was a candidate for the
nomination. He had never been
in Delmonico's and accepted with
pleasure. The dinner over, cigars
were proposed, and, as both gen
tlemen were due at au appoint
ment, they went to the cigar stand
to be served. The attendant,
knowing the governor's entertain
er, took a box of fine Havanas
from under the counter and open
ed it to serve them.
"What are these?" asked the
governor.
"Cigars," replied the host.
"But how much are they?" he
persisted in asking, and the man
at the counter replied: "Four
for $1."
A look something like holy hor
ror stole over Uncle Dick's face as
he put up his hand with a depre
cating motion and gasped out half
tragically, "Put 'em back; put 'em
right back. Why, if they knew
out in Illinoy that I smoked a 25
cent cigar it would ruin me social
ly, financially, religiously, politic
ally and every other way. No,
sir; a 5-cent cigar is good enough
for me in Illinoy, and a 10-center
in New York."
VALUABLE WOOL STATISTICS.
Below will be found much val
uable information relative to the
statistics of the wool supply Jan.
1st, 1890, as well as to the probable
demand. This information is fur
nished the Rural Spirit by parties
in Boston, who are regarded as
the very best authority :
Boston, Jan. 11, 1890.
Dullness continues in the wool
market, although signs of life are
daily growing more apparent
among the manufacturers, and as
soon as some substantial cassimere
orders are taken we may confident
ly expect a more active business.
The stocks of wool in the various
markets have finally been made up
and carefully revised with the fol
lowing result:

It will thus be seen that in all
the principal markets of the count
ry except Hartford, the stock is
somewhat larger than a year ago,
but still not large compared with
the decrease in the stocks held by
manufacturers as compared with
the same date last year, and con
siderable smaller than it was J an.
1, 1888. If the mills get some or
ders for cassimeres, and keep run
ning as they did in 1889, there will
not be any surplus of stock when
the summer opens. The stock of
domestic in Boston is diyided
about as follows:

From abroad we hear of steady
markets and very little coming to
the United States. Probably not
over one-fifth as much Australasi
an and no Montevedio has been
bought for us and is on its way to
this country as compared with a
year ago. Of course this will also
be naturally felt in the wool supply
when those mills which have been
in the habit of using largely of
foreign come into the market
Sales for the past week foot up
about 2,250,000 pounds against
about 3,680,000 pounds for the
corresponding week of last yea
and about 2,900,000 for the preced
ing week of this year. The prin
cipal sales have been of California
and Oregon about 425,000 pounds;
of Territory about 300,000 pounds,
and of Foreign about 300,000
pounds.
CALIFOKNIA AND OREGON WOOLS.
some good sales of Eastern Oregon
wool have been made, but at some
sacrifice to the views of the hold
ers. The best of it will not sell at
over 19c, and other sales as low as
14c are reported. On a scoured
basis 58c is the outside price for
XXX, and the principal sales for
the week were at a cent or two
under that figure. In Valley Ore-
gon there is a small sale, at from
25 to 2l!c per pound, which are ex
treme prices. California wools
have been dull, and there is noth
ing of interest to report. Hural

EQ.rESTKIENNKS.
Much has been said on the sub
ject of riding and the way to sit a
horse, but however much may be
read the firm equable seat under
all circumstances comes of a clear
head combined with practice, nev
ertheless precept is always valua
ble. As to how a lady should sit
a horse is well expressed by Mr.
William A. McGibben, in the
New York Herald aa follows:
The body should be balanced
exactly in the middle of the sad
dle, and far enough back to grasp
the second pommel with the right
knee comfortably, while the left
one is just spanned by the third
pommel or leaping-horn.
The rider is now sitting upon
that part of the animal which is
the center of motion; the head
erect, turning easily without in
volving the body; eyes looking
over the horse's head in the direc
tion he is going; shoulders well
thrown back so as to expand the
chest, taking care to keep thein in
line and not to raise one higher
than the other; the small of the
back slightly bent forward, upper
part of the arms hanging straight
down from the shoulders and hehr
loosely, but close to the sides; the
fore arm straight out from the el
bows; wrists rounded inward on a
level with the elbows; each hand
holding a rein, fingers closed,
knuckles to the front, thumbs ex
tended on the end of the reins and
pointed across the body; hands
held five, to six inches apart, ac
cording to the width of the horse's
neck in front of the body.
From the knee to the foot
the right leg must be held
close to the forelap of the saddle,
the heel raised and inclined back
ward a little. The right side of
the upper part of the right leg
from the knee to the hip joint
should be turned on its outer side
and held close to the saddle, and
the inside of the uppet part of the
left leg should be in contact with
the saddle. The left knee should
be placed just below the third
pommel, and the lower part of the
leg should hang straight down
from the knee and close to the side
flap of the saddle, the upper part
of the legs only to leave the saddle
at the rising trot.
The ioot should be placed even
ly in the stirrup as far as the ball,
the heel being held a little lower
and pointed toward the shoulders
of the horse. The body should be
pliant and accompany the move
ment of the horse.
A Negro Statesman.
Kansas City, Jan. 31. C. H. J. Taylor,
a colored politician and recently United
States minister to Liberia, went into a
restaurant to-day and asked tor coffee
and pie. The proprietor told him the
price would be 81. Taylor replied "all
rigbt." Alter eatiDg he walded up to
the counter, threw down 10 cents and
said: "Now sue me for the rest." He
walked ont of the place before the aston
ished proprietor could reply. The man
says he will sue Taylor.
