It is not likely that they will go to work and the situation is a gloomy one, as the price of coal will go up much higher than it is at present and will bo very ditlieult to get. As individual operators are also at tho mercy of the monopolists and it looks as if their business will be completely ruined while t'e mineis and their families arc starving. The sentiment of the congress, which will assemble seven weeks hence, so far as regards the leading M.ues before the country, is not known with accuracy. It is believed, however, that on the tariff and silver coinage Us attitudu will be but little different from that of the con gress which closed on March 4 last. The free traders will not be powerful enough to make any radical changes iu the tariff, nor will the ultra protectionists be nu merous enough to prevent judicious modifications in the customs schedules, so as to assist iu reducing the government income. The coinage laws will probably be left unchanged, unless some time in the next twelve month a period of trade depression should set in. In such a con tingency, which is not likely to occur, an urgent demand would once more be made for the repeal of the Eland compulsory coinage act. (lb be Democrat. W. A.

Last week there arrived tit San Fran cisoo the pioneer steamship of a fleet that is to ply regularly between that city and Panama, touching at all intermediate ports, and which will consequently run opposition to the Pacific Mail line. This addition to San Francisco's facilities of commercial intercourse is hailctl as of the highest importance, and the most gratifying results are predicted. Among- other benefits looked for, it is thought that some day San Francisco may be as important as a coffee center as New York or Ilavre, while many other valuable ar ticles of commerce produced in Central America and Mexico will go to that city for distribution.

One of the most peculiar signs of Ne York's rapid growth in the present era of its existence is the callous manner in wliich the most historic landmarks of Manhattan Island are being swept out of existence by the onward march of active metropolitan life and industry. A cold and business-like announcement has been made within the past few elays in the Herald by L. J. & I. Phillips that they will, on October 25 next, sell at auc tion the property known as Hamilton Grange, which lies along St. Nicholas and Tenth avenues, and between 140th and 145th streets. The bare announcement menns nothing less than that the mansion and surround ing grounds, one hundred and seventy five city lots, forming part of a tract bought nearl- a cntury ago by Alexander Hamilton, and occupied and improved by him, arc to bo sold under the hummer in accordance with the dictates of the present owner, Mr. William II. De Forest. A silk merchant, who secured this tract some years ago. Of all the historic plots that have maelc some nooks and corners on Manhattan Island famous, probably none was select ed with more care and circumspection as to topography, immediate surroumlings and future prospects than this identical Hamilton Grange, so christened by the original purchaser, "Washington's bosom friend, Alexander Hamilton. This statesman of the old time selectee! tho twenty odd acres of land because there a grand view of tho Hudson, to'the westwurd, could be had even then. To the south was l ho small city, miles away; and in the southeast the Long Is land hills clearly marked the horizon. A post road to IJostun covered one of tin corners of the estate, and there w as also a stopping place for the stages that car ried the mails to Xcw England. IJoger Mon'n' residence was in sight from this elevation; so was the residence of Gen. Gates, the captor of Iiurgoync, on the Hose Hill Farm, to the eastward. "When, in ISO,1, Alexander Hamilton j creeled the mansion, so well known for! its class'c stle of architecture, he plant ed near that mansion thirteen tret s with his own hand, to symbolize tin: original thirteen slates of the Union. Theue trees have been surrounded with a fcivo by the present owner, Mr. Do Forrest, but whether thev will be retained or destroy ed by thconward march that commands j the sale of the surrounding acres and lots is as yet a subject of doubt and spec ulation. It is only a few years ago that the pres ent owner acquired posession of this en tire Hamilton Grange. Since that time the grounds have been laid out in street blocks, terraces and lots, and Hamilton t jftae;: is now considered as being the eastern adjunct of Convent avenue. Sev enteen houses have already been con structed there, and further improvements I on the various streets, also along Tenth avenue, are now under wav. COT THE BUCK FEVER." An Amateur Hunter's l'irst Shot at a DeerToo Slow on Trigger. Did you over hear Frank Levan tell his es- ixrieiieo with that doer up tho country when l:o was U'.terniiiied not to get tho "buck fever?" Well, Frank went up Li tho moun tains with a crowd of old and new hunters. All preparations having been made, tho deei- R.ayers went out to look for fresh venison. They succeeded in wounding a deer that af ternoon and killing two inoro, the old hunters doing tho work. Darkness coming on, the hunters concluded to wait until nest morning to search for the wounded deer. Accordingly next morning they started on tho track of the deer and folio wed it a long way until thoy struck a small stream between two high hills. Hero the captain divided tho party into squads of two and three and gave them directions us to how they should proceed in order to come up with the deer. As it happened Lvan was one of tho men placed on tho left of the stream and was or dered to beextrc 'oly careful to avoid nil uofco and excitement and above all not to get tho "buck fever." Frank proceeded to carry out his instructions and walked along the stream with the pace of a snail and tho tread of a fox. Having gone as far as ho consid ered it his duty to go and seeing no signs of a deer or other animal he stopped besido a largo fallen trvo to survey tho landscape oer. Stepping on to the log he was engaged in a careful scrutiny of the surrounding hills when he was impelled by some inward feeling to turn his eyes fithind him. From that mo ment ho was transformed from an ordinary, discouraged hunter into a hero, for he beheld, not thirty feet from him, a live deer that stood looking at him and flapping its large ears as if it wished to discover by sight and sound tin; nature of tho object before it. Never having had such an experience be fore Levan began to think that he was going to have some fun and the honor of killing his first deer, lie was armed with ft riflo of about five pounds' pull, but ho had never shot ono of those guns off. Deliberately and qui etly ho drew the riilo to his shoulder and took aim at tho deer's head, saying frequently to himself, "You're my meat." Having aimed several times ut the deer's head ho concluded that ho would not run the risk of missing it and have tho boys laugh at him, so he low ered the gun until the sights were aimed for the heart of the deer, and ho continued to ooint the .tarn at the deer and remark: " You're my meat," for a minute or more, being under the impression that the animal was good to stand in that position for o day or two. At last having mado up his mind to pull the trigger, Frank steadied his nerves and mentally congratulated himself upon not getting the buck fever. Then, he says, he pulled that trigger back at least three inches, and Just as ho began to fear that the trigger was made of elastic and would never stop going backward tho deer gave a bound like a football struck by a "00 pound man and landed half way up the side of the mountain. At tho same time Levan's arms went up and the riflo w-as discharged in the air, the bullet passing over the mountain into the next township. When the other hunters came to help cut tho deer up Frank told them that he hadn't hit it, an ho oidy had a snap shot and had no chance of killing it. W illiatnsport Sun and Banner. A Coining Financial Napoleon. Banks are viewed as public conveniences and receive their charters as such. They have got to be quite personal in their utility, how ever. Excepting m the smaller bunks it is next to impossible for a man with moderate means to open an account unless he happens to bo backed by influence the bank does not care to antagonize. I went recently with a friend of mine who wanted to open an ac count in a state bank that does a heavy busi ness iu private accounts for the tradesmen and wealthy people in a good neighborhood. My friend is a beginner in business, to whom an account is a necessity. He had Jfij,000, chiefly in checks, to open fire with. The president happening to be away he fell into the clutches e-f the cashier. That magnate listened to his overtures disdainfully. 'How much do you wish to open an account with T' ho asked. Tho sum was named and the cashier mani fested open amusement. "The fact is," said he, "that we do not care to handle such small amounts. Besides wo do not allow an account to be drawn under $500. We would liko to oblige Mr. X." tho gentleman from whom the would be depositor brought an introduction "but, really" At this juncture the president of tho insti tution arriveed, and, happening to be a personal acquaintance of my friend and my self, ho did the duty his underling would havo evaded. I asked him whether they were in the habit of declining to open accounts on small deposits when the depositors were reputablo men engaged ia legitimate busi ness. "Never," ho said emphatically, "small ac counts are troublesome and unprofitable, but I regard it as a duty to take tliem m when I believe tho depositor to be a worthy man who needed our conveniences. My first bank ac count was $200." This banker, who appreciates his duty to tho public, is, I believe, a man of 70 years, who never dreamed of speculating on the Etreet. His amVtious minded managing man is under 40, and may yet le a young Napoleon of finance. Alfred Trumble in Kew York lia-" ...... WHIST RULES IN RHYME.

Tho Savajjery of TJoyliood. Almost every father whose family contains two or three healthy boys under the age of 15, certainly every teacher in a boys' school, uidess he altogether fails to reach the berets of tho youngsters around him, must' feel, after reading a volume or two of current chil dren's literature, that his own boys lack tho tender sympathy, the overflowing compas sion, which it is now the favsiuon to impute to tho heroes of juvenile fietiou. Those iersons who are not in a position to come in contact with tho children of today need only to recall to memory the scenes of their own childhood in order to find repeated episodus in which a suf fering kitten or puppy was the central and unpitied figure. Tho callousness of the chil dren of one's own circle wiil be mado evident after a few minutes spent in such clarifying (though, to sensitive people, rather annoying) introspection; and whac is truo of one circle in this regard is approximately true of all. My own conviction is that healthy boys under 15 feel very little comnassion for any suffering but that of their near relatives, their close friejids, and occasionally their pet animals. Not only do they evince little com passion, but they often show more than an entire apathy, even an actual pleasure, at the sight of pain inflicted upon animals; and some, with whom we need not now couecrn ourselves, take a delight that to grown people eeems almost fiendish in tormenting their weaker playfellows.
