Alarm in an Ohio Town.
DWELLINGS AND YARDS OVER COAL MINES SLOWLY SINKING INTO THE EARTH,
A serions state of affairs is reported at Salin: ville, Ohio, a mining town between Cleaveland and Wheeling. The coal banks in the hills on which the town stands have been operated for many years. Yesterday afternoon it was discovered that the ground immediately about Kirk’s coal mine was beginning to crack in several places. ‘To- ward night the situation grew still more alarming. To-day pe ple were surpris«d to had portions of their dwellings and yards slowly sinking into the earth. The wells in the neighbor!ood wers found to b> empty and bottomless. A large new brick schceollouse stands on the brow of the hill, and it is the opinion that this structure will be destroyed. At allevents, few children attended school in the bui ding on the 21st. The cause of the approaching disaster is owing to the extra largé amount of coal that has been taken from the hill. A young man named William Ke rns was crushed to death by a mass of co.1 and freight.

| Bulwer’s Prophucy of Dieraeli. | The late Lord Lytton drew up a very remarkable ‘‘divination” in 1860 upon the future career of Lord Beaconsfield, which certainly entitles him to take high rank among modern prop!ets: ‘In honors he has not only luck, but a facility far beyond the most favorable pros; ects that could be reasonably anticipated from his past career, his present position, or his personal endowments. He will leave a higher name than [ should say his intellect quite | warrants, or than would pow be conjectured. He will certainly have very high honors |whether official or in rank—high as com- pared with his birth or actual achievements. His illnesses will be few and quick, but his last illness will be lingering. He is likely lto live to old age, the close of his career being much honored. He will be at the last largely before the public, much feared by his opponents, but greatly beloved not only by those immediately about him but by large numbers of persons to whom ho is ‘personally unknown, He will die, whether in or out of office, in an exceptionally high ‘position, greatly lamented, and surrounded to the end by all the magnificent planetary influences of a propitious Jupiter. He will bequeath a repute out of all proportion to the opinion now entertained of his intellect, even by those who thinks most highly of it. Greater honors far than he has acquired are in store for him. His enemies,though active, ‘are not persevering. His official friends, though not ardent, will yet minister to his success.- - London Truth.

| Opposed to Dynamite.
' The Paris correspondent of the London | Times has been interviewing several of the ‘prominent Irish in the French capital, such as Patrick Casey, of the Monitewr Universal; James Stephens, formerly Fenian head | centre; John O'Leary, who used to be the ‘editor of the Irish People, and Father ‘Hovan, of the Catholic College of St. Sul; ice.
| The results of these interviews are given ‘in the Times this morning. Casey is ‘strengly in favor of the dynamite policy and upholds the Irish Invincibles in the |doctrines they avow and the course they jporsue. He declares it probable that the idynamite policy will be extended to the blowing up of Atlantic passenger steamers ana aiterwards of merchantmen, thus ruin- ing England’s commerce.
James Stephens, however, condemns the principles and practices of the dynamiters jand advocates an armed revolution. The continuance of the dynamite policy, he thinks, means certain death of the revolu- tionary agitation during the present gener- ation, perhaps forever. It may, besides this, lead to the expulsion of Irishmen from England.
Jobn O'Leary likewise disapproves of the dynamite policy on the ground of its inex- pediency and criminal character. He is in Tavor of open rebellion. War between ‘England and Russia, he thinks, would give the Irish a chance to strike an effective blow. He was sorry to say that people in America were notlaverse to the employment of dynamite.

An Earl Without a Home. AYLESFORD'S RANCH-HOUSE BUKNS AND HE SPENDS THE NIGHT OUT OF DOORS.
The Earl of Aylesford, whose career in Europe was the talk of the world, and whose adventures among the cow-boys of Texas have been described, has recently met witn a serious misfortune, his ranch-house having been burned to the ground. The fire originated through the carelessness of a servant in handiing kerosene oil, and as a strong gale was blowing at the time only a few moments were required te complete the work of destruction. Only a little bedding and a few articles of wearing apparel were saved from the flames, but the earl’s great- est regret is the loss of his armory, in which were twenty valuable guns, which he had used in his hunting expeditions in various parts of the world. One of these guns was formerly the property of the Prince of Wales, and was carried by him during the famous tiger hunt in India, where the earl was his companion. The ‘‘Judge,” as the cowboys call his lordship, bore his loss philosophically, and with his brother Dan slept in the open air on the leeward side of the barn the follow- ing night. In the moroing he rode into Big Springs, and obtained permission to oecupy @ vacint ranch-house belonging to his newest neighbor,a man named Den- mark. Here he will live, with such com- forts as the country affords, until a new cabin is ereeted on the site of the one that
was burned,

same being the amovnt al’owed him annually by the trustee who was put in charge of his immense estate until his debts shall have been paid, As soon as the money came bis lordship purchased 2,400 cattle for his ranche, which until] that time had been empty, and is now giving the herd his personal attezition.

CURRENT NOTES.
The Journal of Health says the worst cold may be cured if the patient will, soon after taking it, keep warm in bed and eat nothing tor a day or iwo.
One of the curiosities of Fulton Market, New York, is a tame trout that will come to the top of the tank to be fondied, and will eat pieces of meat from the hand.
A deputaricn of ladies presented a petition to Hon. G. W. Ross on the 17th vls., bear- ing over 4,000 signatures, in favor of the introduction of temperance text-books in the schools,
Mr. James Stewart, who has been for a great many years connected with the Mon- treal Hera/d, in various capacities wp to that of managing director, has severed his con- nection with the paper.
The Lachine Canal, Montreal, was nearly flooded out on the 22nd inst., by the par- tial break of a sluice gate. Had it given away, part of Montreal would have been submerged and great damage done.
The Montreal Gazette says:—In the ses- sion of Parliament which closed on Satur- day one hundred and five acts were passed, of which forty were Government measures, thirty-five related to railways, nine to in- surance companies and five to banks.
There is very little that is practical in thé so-called science of the day. Here is the Popular Science Monthly, devoting pages to telling ‘‘how flies hang on,” when a’ bald- headed public is just quivering to know how the pesky things can be made let go.
The production of petroleum in the Uuited States was about one-fifth, or say 6,000,000 gallons, less last year than in the year preceding, and stocks on hand were not increased at the rate they had been. On Ist Febrnary last, the net stocks in tank were 35,766,000 barrels.
Harmon Beaten.—The well-known Har- mon has at last met his superior. A San Fiancisco despatch of the 2lst says: *‘A foot race of seventy-five yards and repeat took place yesterday afternoon between the two sprinters, Kittleman and Harmon, for $1,000 aside. The first heat was won by Harmon in 7$ seconds and the last two by /Kittleman in 72 seconds and 74 seconds. Two thousand persons were present.
Another attempt is to be made to get the Imperial Parliament to legalise marriage with a deceased wife’s sister. Mr, Broad- hurst has given notice that he will on April 29 being on his motion in reference to the subject. Colonel Makins has also given notice that when the how. member for Stoke has made his moticn he will move as an amendment an address to the Throne to appoint a royal commission to inquire into the question of marriages within the pro- hibited degrees.
The immigration season opens out well in the Northwest. The Winnipeg Sun, of the 18th instant, says:—-‘‘Another batch of cid country immigrants passed through for the west this morning. A cable despatch says fifty Skye crofters are on the way out® The Northwest Land Company is preparing 10 receive a large number of tenant farmers from Scotland. The Land Department of the Canadian Pacific Railway is doing a good business, and their is every sign that, on the opening of navigation, there will be a great rush of old country people, among whom the low emigrant rate has been well advertised. The immigrants who have already arrived, are of a superior class. Ten Scotch farmers who went on to the Moosomin district yesterday carried with them $156,000.
The Nova Scotia Legislature is responsi* ble for extending the franchise in wunici- pal elections, to widows and to ‘‘unmarried women.” The words we have quoted are not as definite as they might be. In the first place widows are unmarried until they marry again. In the next place there are some women, even in Nova Scotia, who have never been married (and, probably, never will be), yet who cannot possibly come in the category of unmarried women, as designated by the Nova Scotia Legisla- ture, But, even supposing that it be dis- tinctly understood that only widows and spinsters are to vote, what a slur is cast upon the numerous intelligent women re- siding there who are good mothers, faithful wives and admirable in all social relations! Why should not the married women vote? —N. Y. Evening Telegram.
Emigration from Great Britain has con- siderably diminished this year. In March only 17,849 persons of British origin left the United Kingdom for America and Australia, or some three thousand less than in the corresponding period last year, and in the first quarter.of this year the emigration has reached 37,271 against 44,916 in 1883. The feature of the re- turns of special importance is that the emigration to Canada has received no check, In March, for example 1,630 persons left Great Britain for the Dominion, or #0 more than in the corresponding month last year, while to the United States the emigration was 3,081 less, and for the three months the figures stand a follows :—
United States. Canada, _ noo ~-—7-oOooo > i884 1883. 1884. 1883 English........ 11,778 14,017 2,449 2,474 Sentech. ......-. 2,241 2,389 163 14 Th osknde sacs 5,687 8,940 242 4\4 ts. pees 19,706 25,046 2,844 2,902
