Soon there came s thuuderove grum-~ ‘pling ander ground, and a Jong train of coal cars daahed out frou underneath, thon dashed into the hill opposite, leaving a column of smoke curling out from the tunnel entrance. T elam- bored down on to the track aud followed it for a considerable distance up a winding valluy, where. the raila (7-foot gauge, barring au odd inch or 50) bad to curve round in extraondinary fashion to accommodate themeclyes to the rapid bonds of the valley. Boon I began to meet groups of wooty-complexioned mon, evidently on their way howe from the mines. lt waa a Tuosday wmorn- ing, and I remombered to have heard that the colliera did not work at all ou Moudays, and only half a day on Tueslays, so that accounted for their leaving work at this early hour. 4 Bruapy Race sro these Yorestors, working just whon they feel inclined, and * playing.” ‘OF, au We pay, Soating, when to minded, Ax they a¥e paid according to the work pertonnsa: the orp loyer has little cor trol over thelr operations, though I can fiuagine how reattess an eagor capitalist must feol every now aud then to find Bis iniue lying idlo because the men waut @ day's “play.” ‘the usmow of these mines aro ag Unconventional ay are all the fayhions of the Forest, ‘Btrip-an’-at-it™ I found quite & favorite pame, for with some qualifying pretix it distinguishoa several mines. * Hole-in-the-wood.” *'Try-A| Jike expressive collaquiallaus, with the mining sdvcnturers. these mines are nl}, 1 was informed, natives of the forest, or outsiders who had been admitted or made free of the forest by complying with certain rulee snd regalations which the Forcatera have maintained for cepturioy. The natives JANUARY 25, 1875 njoy certain privileges in regard of squatting rights and mining operations by prescriptive Jaw, under tho Goveroment, and of theno privi- legen thoy are exceedingly jealous, not to say proud. What rites and colermenies are nowadays reqnired of the man whose ambition is to La- come a Freo Forester, I cannot way, but it was darkly hinted to me that in olden times the jnl- tiatory functions were romewhat of tho sword and red-hot poker order attributed by comic writers to the Masonic performances on such oc- casiona. Seeing a huge pair of wheels revolving at tre- mendous speed bigh overhead above a shaft on a hillside, 2 clambored np atout 200 feat of al- most perpendicular cliff, and watched the bauk- men running out the “cowes" full of red tron ore, Then, smitten with ambition to have a good Jook round, I climbed on and on until tho top of tho hill waa reached, Then wandering along in- terminablo mule paths, crossing each other in all directions, 1 coutinued to get LOST IN THY Woops. Not a sou) camo in sight, nor conld I inentify my locality by tho uso of iny map. Up hill T wont, and down dale, endeavoring to trace some valley or luli line by which to recognize the lay of theland, But all in vain. Whe thick growth of young oak trees covered hill aud vale indiffor- ently, and whichever way I looked the sapect wag tho same. In this dilemma, reminiscences of trans-Atlantic exporiences came to my aid. Solecting a tall, atraight-grown tree with numer- ous simall branchos, I climbed to the top; and thore, with view extended over a wide expanse, I tried again to find out where I had got to, At evory point of tho compass there wero vini- ble ranges of Lille, rising one beyond the other liko ocean waves, all clad in tho sume dark green foliage of tho forest- oak. But, by faking an observation with tho compaas, I succeeded in deflning my position wufticiently to decida upon my courae. Hoon afterward I came upon sn open ciearing, with two small atone enttager. Making my way. to one of these, with the intention of asking adrin: of wator, I discovered that it was a **beer-shop,” as (averna are celled here, The cattage consisted of but n single rcom, with clay floor, a rough deal table, and reed-seated chairs, A huge chuuk of what ltook to be rye bread, with a mug of elder, constituted my rofreahment, costing. if metnory aorves mn right, two pence. It was the first time in my life thet 1 bad dined for four conta, Afterwards, invigorated by my meal, IY plunged through bush and briar for a long dis- tance, going straight across country, for 1 found the muie tracks and footpaths did not amount to anything. ‘fhe country tecame lees hilly, aud by degrees the forest opened out into s park of considerable size, in which was s large stone building. ‘This was THE SPEECH ToUst, the contra of the forest, and the ecene of many a gathering of ita wild clansmen, Just around ere are s number of grand old cake, overuhad- owing o volvety turf. ‘hia is a fa- yorite Jocality “for picnic parties, The viow in very direction is replete with beauty, aud the sawo remark may apply without much modification to the damsel who waited on me in the bar-room iveido; forl regret tu say that the Spoech-House, ouco the Parliament- House, the Capitol, so to speak, of the Forest, has in theo latter daya deteriorated into a tav- orn, ‘though shorn of its ancient glories, the Speech-Hotlse is still the raliymy-point of the Voresters in time of,electoral or other local ex- citewent.

More steady tramp- ing through the interminable forest, and at last, juet as it waw becoming alarmingly dark, by good “fortuue I emerged from the woods at the edge of scilif which I recognized as being just opposite my destivation. But HOW To GET DOWN that steep hillside, with a dozen old quarries open beneath me, and only a array footpath which Thad founda dificult task to follow,— that was the question, I sat down on a rock for a momont to consider the position. Ten to one 1 would break my neck if I ventured down there \uthe dark, ‘To stay bhivering on that bleak hill-top, oven ov au August night, was uot to be thought of, There was oue chance of getting a guide, as Thad noticed in the morning two or three cottages just uudor the hillade. so I shonted, and shouted until the hills rang again, And then I yelled until I got so hoarse that tho yell became a mere growl, At last a light ap- peared far down in the yalloy. 1 kept up tue vocal exercige until an old woman with o lantern hovo in sight.

But iu the morning I managed to reach a little church which had been newly open- ed, on the yvory top of an outlying ridgo. It waa a pleasant sight to soe the crowded congregation of laborers from the cosl-pit and the quarry, uisuy of them in their working-clothes. It was ploaaant aluo to see one of thom (he Lad a black coat ou though) march up to the reading-dok and read the les#ous in ‘a full, sonorous voice, And I liked to see tho clorgyman's kindly, yet rolined, features as he aftorwards took hia place in the pulpit, and, instesd of preaching a pre- tontious sormon, just read over one of the lex sone and explained its meaning, versa by verse, in tho simplest possible manner, Aud I thought it & genuino display of simplicity, too, whon he, almost with humility, apologized to his congre- gxtion, from tho pulpit, for having said oue of the prayers in the wrou part of tho worvico, taking occasion thereby to found a little homily upon the Christian duty of doing all things do- coutly and in order.

They found him living in a little 7-by-9 room, wilh a strip of rag-carpet in front of the iron bedatead, &® few booka on & pino washstand, and some strips of green cambric tacked up to the whitewashed wall. A sinall, prison-barred window Jooked out upon the ice-bound myer and the leafless trees in the distance. His suit of clothes was the ordinary coarse gray priaon-garb ; and, on inquiry, ho answered them that “Io wanted for nothing, mado no comrlaint, and that dy had gotten him quite as low now aa they wanted bim."” What a fall was (here!— from the proud leadership of old Tammany days, with the millions, the diamonds. the wines, and the profusion of other aud happier times { Novor since our city was fist known has there been auch WIDE-SPREAD DENTITUTION,— such a coustantly-incroasiug army of homelass, unemployed ones. Gur many benevolent inati- tutions are taxed to their utmost. and the papers daily make demands for ineana to fill the ox- hiausted coffers of our charitable associations.

Tho rich have responded generously ; wealthy ladies have gone in their carriages, aid pergonally bestowed money, and given other help; but the attempts lave been epssimodic, aud tho many benevolent organiza- tious cannot begin to succor all the neody poor, Froquently families aro picked up on aur tieets, who have been turned adsift mto tho streets bo- causo of unpaid ronts, aud who have literally neither food, clothing, nor shelter.

In some way this great question muat be worked out; but the way Las not boen reschod yet. : THE DEECHER-TILTON TRIAL drags its slow length along. Jurymen, specta- tors, plaintiff and defendant, and even the law- yers, weem heartily tired of it.—tired of the tediousness of it all. All the anjoymout seems to bo in the hourly tilt botween the lawyers, tho constant wrangle, which causes even Mr. Boecher to laugh hoartily at times. Twolva days havo been consumed already, and, beyond getting o jury, the grand oponing threo dave, statemeut of Judgo Morns, and the examination and croas- examination of Mr. Moulton, wo hayo had no progreva. Tho testimony of the “Mu- tual Friend” brings out the character- ietios of the differant lawyers. Mr. Tracy grows pale and glares, Mr. Shearman flushes and looks nervous, Mr. Evarte sucere and is sarcastic; milo, on the ‘opposite side, Mr. Fullerton gets very quickly ruled and in snappish, Mr. Bench cool and cynical, and Judge Morria tantalizing and bitter. THEATRICAL, It was rumored that the splendid now Fifth Avenue Theatre Lad pagsed from tho manaxe- mevtof Mr. Daly into other bands, But Mr. Daly denies this, aud tho same excellent com- pany are etill playing there. Mr. Eno, tho owner of the Fifth Avonuo Hotel property, in- tonde rebuilding the original whito-marble Fifth Avenuo Theatre, on Twenty-fourth street, do- atroyed by fire under Mr, Daly's regime, and it ia raported that Mr. Daniol Harkins, leading man, Mr, James Lewis, leading ** funny man,” in the presont Fifth Avenue troupe of Daly's, ara to bo the lessees. If this prove true, it will be apt to seal the doom of the preseut so-called Fifth Avenue Theatre; for itis too far up-town, and never has boén as remuverative ay the ald ono on Twenty-fourth street was.
