Tewflk is the son of a slave, ami his father, in changing the order of succession, nover intended that he should tie the heir. The ex-Khedive gavo the place of legitimate spouse to another woman, who is now staying with him in Naples. Ismail intended to establish the Napoleonic distinction between a civil and a royal family. Ho was encouragod to hope that he might purchase the right to do so by the late Sultan. But when Abdul Aziz found there was no more money to be extracted from the Khedive, and learned that Tewflk was easy tempered and very ignorant, he insisted upon his right of prnnof£nituro being respected. Only a few intriguing friends, who had secretly backed his luck when Ismail was at Cairo, knew that he wag so ignorant as he made believe. One of them was Signor Uartino, the cousin of his Italian friend, and now his private secretary. nounca an Advance of Wages Alter The Pennsylvania Coal Company An' New York, June 23.—A nether fierce Iowa storm last night The town of Malcolm was revisited, and there was terrible destruction of property.

There are at least 16,000 square miles of coal land io Gunnison county, one-half of which is within a short distanco of the city of Gunnison. These deposits of coal are largo enough to afford inexhaustible supplies to any number of manufactures, and are of such a variety as to make them desirable for all the uses to which the arts have been able to apply them.

By telegraph to the Gazette. The feeling in the market to-day has been decidedly "bullish." The room trader*, who were yesterday inclined to be "bearish," this morning surrendered to the bull side, and were buyers of stocks. This state of affairs was principally caused by a continuance of the glowing nature of the telegrams from the West concerning the future of the crops. The particular featuie of the market was the streagth of Louisville and Nashville, which continued to advance under large purchases, chiefly to cover short interest; in fact, it is said that one short line of 100,000 shares was taken in. The rise was pretty rapid, however, and there was a subsequent reaction, while the bull party made the mbst of the reports of the unfavorable weather throughout Eupope, The bear side found comfort in the reports of the increase of the strikes notwithstanding in this city among the freight handlers, which are expected to extend to other places. Most of the operators who pretend at all to make any diagnosis of the present market, are inclined to believe that this rise will contiuue for one or two days longer, but it is impossible to keep the market in the control of the bull's for any length of time.

The Amalgamated Association officers were no more communicative to-day concerning the meetiDgof finishing mill men, called for the 3d of July, than last evening, but from Thomas Rose, one of the members of the Association, information was obtained that bears out the assertions of the manufacturers that everything is not lovely in the Association ranks. He said : "The object of that meeting is in general to provide some means for effecting a change in the present relations between puddlers and finishers with a view to giving the latter a show for their white alley. You know that the puddlers outnumber the rollers, heaters, etc., ten to one, and on important questions a majority of one will carry the point at, issue. This won't work any longer.

The fanners are endeavoring to get rid of the pests by burning them and plowing them under. The anthracite coal fields north and south, of Gunnison cover 300 square miles of territory ; that is, they are much larger than the anthracito fields of Pennsylvania, and when opened are sure to supply the towns and cities west of the Missouri river with all this kind of fuel used. These are the first anthracite fields west of the Alleghenies, and will largely help to make Gunnison the largest producing town in the West The Gunnison Goal Company, of which Mr. C. T. Sills is manager, owns 4,000 acres of coal lands fifteen miles northwest of Gunnison on Ohio creek on the line of the Denver South Park and Pacific railroad. The coal is bituminous, Ant-class for steam and domestic purposes, and is largely used here and in the vicinity. The veins of coal are six feet clear, with beds of fine clay under the whole layer. Mines have been worked by tunnel 300 foot and side entry 200 feet. An air shaft is being cut from side entry. Tunnel will be run SOO feei deeper at onoe.

His lifeless body was accidentally discovered by a boy at about five o'clock, lying beside a milk stand, tho latter having been copiously spattered with his blood. One arm was torn off, a leg was crushed until the bones protruded, his skull was fractured, and his face was so mutilated that he dould only be identified by papers on his person. He was a surveyor, scrivener and civil engineer by profession, and was widely known and much sought for bis services, having written 100 deeds during tho present season. A wife and twojonssurvive him, one of his sons being at present a civil engineer in the employ of the Pennsylvapia Railroad' Company.

Bradley says in his paper "the usual reform business is about the motat thankless task ever undertaken by man, and few there be who can ever hope to succeed in it" This is an indication that the Doctor is getting dishoartened in his fruitless efforts to create dissection. The "reformers" of to-day are generally instigated by the same animus as Bradley, namely patronage of office.

New York, June 23.—Rumors of a truce and practical alliance between Governor Cornell and ex-Senator Coukling are believed to. hava some basis of truth. The proposition is to re-nominate Cornell for Governor and Senator Lapham for Lieutenant Governor. If Lapham is elected he would resign his seat in the Senate at the beginning of the second session of the Fifty-sevonth Congress, Governor Cornell would appoint Mr. Oonkling to fill the vacancy, and this would seat Oonkling in the Senate for six or eight weeks at least before the Assembly could meet to choose Lapham's successor In the meantime a Legislature is to be elected, so that will return Oonkling and Cornell.

But when Abdul Aziz found there was no more money to be extracted from the Khedive, and learned that Tewflk was easy tempered and very ignorant, he insisted upon his right of prnnof£nituro being respected. Only a few intriguing friends, who had secretly backed his luck when Ismail was at Cairo, knew that he wag so ignorant as he made believe.

By telegraph to the Gazette. The feeling in the market to-day has been decidedly "bullish." The room trader*, who were yesterday inclined to be "bearish," this morning surrendered to the bull side, and were buyers of stocks. This state of affairs was principally caused by a continuance of the glowing nature of the telegrams from the West concerning the future of the crops. The particular featuie of the market was the streagth of Louisville and Nashville, which continued to advance under large purchases, chiefly to cover short interest; in fact, it is said that one short line of 100,000 shares was taken in. The rise was pretty rapid, however, and there was a subsequent reaction, while the bull party made the mbst of the reports of the unfavorable weather throughout Eupope, The bear side found comfort in the reports of the increase of the strikes notwithstanding in this city among the freight handlers, which are expected to extend to other places. Most of the operators who pretend at all to make any diagnosis of the present market, are inclined to believe that this rise will contiuue for one or two days longer, but it is impossible to keep the market in the control of the bull's for any length of time.

The fanners are endeavoring to get rid of the pests by burning them and plowing them under. The anthracite coal fields north and south, of Gunnison cover 300 square miles of territory ; that is, they are much larger than the anthracito fields of Pennsylvania, and when opened are sure to supply the towns and cities west of the Missouri river with all this kind of fuel used. These are the first anthracite fields west of the Alleghenies, and will largely help to make Gunnison the largest producing town in the West The Gunnison Goal Company, of which Mr. C. T. Sills is manager, owns 4,000 acres of coal lands fifteen miles northwest of Gunnison on Ohio creek on the line of the Denver South Park and Pacific railroad. The coal is bituminous, Ant-class for steam and domestic purposes, and is largely used here and in the vicinity. The veins of coal are six feet clear, with beds of fine clay under the whole layer. Mines have been worked by tunnel 300 foot and side entry 200 feet. An air shaft is being cut from side entry. Tunnel will be run SOO feei deeper at onoe.

His lifeless body was accidentally discovered by a boy at about five o'clock, lying beside a milk stand, tho latter having been copiously spattered with his blood. One arm was torn off, a leg was crushed until the bones protruded, his skull was fractured, and his face was so mutilated that he dould only be identified by papers on his person. He was a surveyor, scrivener and civil engineer by profession, and was widely known and much sought for bis services, having written 100 deeds during tho present season.

Bradley says in his paper "the usual reform business is about the motat thankless task ever undertaken by man, and few there be who can ever hope to succeed in it" This is an indication that the Doctor is getting dishoartened in his fruitless efforts to create dissection. The "reformers" of to-day are generally instigated by the same animus as Bradley, namely patronage of office.

The proposition is to re-nominate Cornell for Governor and Senator Lapham for Lieutenant Governor. If Lapham is elected he would resign his seat in the Senate at the beginning of the second session of the Fifty-sevonth Congress, Governor Cornell would appoint Mr. Oonkling to fill the vacancy, and this would seat Oonkling in the Senate for six or eight weeks at least before the Assembly could meet to choose Lapham's successor In the meantime a Legislature is to be elected, so that will return Oonkling and Cornell.
