An explosion occurred on the Sth
inst. at the Seaham coal Colliery
near Durham England. Both shafts
of the mine are blockaded though
half a mile apart. About 2o0 men
were in the pit some of whom arc
alive. Communication has been
opened with eighteen men who be-
lieve that they are the only surviv-
ors. This is perhaps the most de-
structive accident on record and
the cause of tho ignition of the fire-
damp cannot so much as be conjec-
tured. The lamps used were of the
most approved kind and the rules
relating to their use were wry slrict.
. Ayoob Khan has about 26000
men at his command and owing to
the character of the surface of the
countrv which is not understood
by the English soldiers is likely to
wage a very desultory war. Generals
Roberts and Pray re arc now on the
ground and it is reported defeated
the Afghans on the d inst. captur-
ing a large iminler of guns and pris-
oners. Ayoob's forces retreated to
the neighboring mountains where
they are well nigh invulnerable and
it will not be surprising if they make
a long and bloody war of it. Jt seems
that the queen is paying rather
dearly for her sovreignty in Afghan-

On the night of the third of this
month a. party of men with black-
ened faces entered a house near
Trales in Kerry Ireland and cutoff
the ears of two men who had been
left in charge of the premises. The
fact that a tenant bad been remov-
ed from the place a short time be-
fore may have had something to do
with the outrage.
If there should be a wool famine

and the number now remaining is
far below the average. Jt is not im-
probable that the American wool-
grower who has stuck to his busi-
ness through gloomy times in soon

losing his hat by which he was iden-

in the lockup ho disclosed the names
of two other colored citizens of ma-

ing him in his thefts. The boy is
sharp and quick and only needed
sufficient encouragement to make
him burglarize with an energy wor-
thy of a bettor cause.
The talk about abolishing the En-
glish Plousc of Lords is only the be-
ginning of an attempt soon to be
made to abolish the lords them-
selves. They are the remnants of
a feudal system abhorrent to the
spirit of the age and in direct oppo-
sition to the people in every effort
toward equal rights. The wonder

Mr. M'Ncal of the Cresset in
writing up the sights that he saw at
the Agency after spoaknig of tho
Indians lounging .about the More
makes this remark: "The Agency
has at least one Indian blacksmith
one carpenter and several that were
working in the capacity of hod car-
riers and tenders at the commissary
building now being erected." The
above statement while not in itself
untrue if? decidedly equivocal and
calculated to convey the idea thait.
these are about all the Indians we
have who will work which is ji long
way from the truth. Plad the Cres-
set man made inquiry he would
have found that all Uot; brick about
100000 that jaave gone into tho
commissary were made by .Indians
that all the lime used in that struct-
ure was burned by Indians and!
that all the hauling of lumber .hard-
ware sand brick and lime for tho
whole work was clone by Indians.
A large amount of hay has been put.
up for Government use. by Indians
and all who can get work are chop-
ping on a Government! -contract for
cord wood. Quite a number a.re
regularly employed by the Agent
and these especially are steady olli-
citnt and nvlhibJe workmen. The
truth is that a large number of In-
dians "apply for work to every one
who can be accommodated. And
again had our friend been here -oia
the morning of the i)Lh inst .and had
he seen the oonsoli dated trains .otf
seventy-six four horse teams coma
in. with the heaviest loads and o.ui
the best time ever made by Whites
or Indians and had he seen this
vast bulk of freight all unloaded and!
snugly stored away s-dl inside of six
hows we think he would take a dif-
ferent view of -the case.
While we do not pretend to say
that all the Indians of this Agenc-j
have risen above their native dirt
laziness and superstition yet wo
cannot help observing the tendency
of most while people to stand on
their heads when the Indian is to be-
considered. Most persons who have
visited this country and who have
written it up have dwelt with greaS.

course towtird 41 people who are

mildest expression very uncharita-
ble and calculated to do the Indian
serious injury.
