CONKLING'S PROPHECY. A Pretty Story of I lie Hlerrn IMiuIrc—A Lov- erD® Uumicceasiil Huge. A FAITH CURED CRIPPLE S STORY. SEER OK STATESMAN ?—WHICH ? A Btory about which thoro ia a fascination which it is impossible to resist when yon hear men tell it is that of the " Home of Gold." Somewhere in Southwestern New Mexico, in the Sierra Madre, it is said there is a wonderful valley. Small, enclosed in high rocky walls and ncccssiblo only by a secret passage, whioli is known to but few. is this extraordinary place. It is about ten acres in extent, has running through it a stream, which waters it thoroughly and makes it a perfect Paradise, with its exquisite flowers and beautiful trcos. In it are thousands of birds of tho most beautiful plumage. Running across if is a ledge of pure gold about thirty feet wide, which glistens in the sunlight like a great golden belt. The stream crosses this ledge and, as it runs, ariurmurs around blocks of yellow metal as other streams do around pebbles. The ledge of gold is supposed to be solid gold and to run down into the centre of the earth. Xlio legend is of Indian origin and around it clusters a number of Indiau stories, in which the name of the ill-fated Montezuma occurs frequently. The descendants of the Aztecs believe firmly that the day will come when Montezuma will return and free them from tho dominion of the descendants of the Conquestodores. They bolieve that the money necessary for this work will be taken from the Madre d'Oro. The secret of the entranco into the valley is carefully guarded by a tribe of Indians living near it, and among them it is only communicated to the oldest men, amid the solemn ceremonies of the Medicine lodge. Having such a story to work upon there is little wonder that tho vivid-imagi nation of the Mexicans should have built upon it tales of men who have fonud this wonderful place. Ono is that a certain Jose Alvaiaz, whilo wandering through the mountains in search of. game, saw tho valley from tho top of the wall. Finding that he could not hope to enter by climbing down, he took up his abode with the Indians who guard the cftnyon leading into it. The daughter of the chief fell in love with him and betrayed the secret to him. Exactly how she found it out they do not tell. Having been shown tho entrance, Jono went in and would possibly have gotten away with some of the gold had he not weighed himself down to such an extent that he could not get up the declivity at tho lower end of the passage. He was discovered and the Indians sacrificed him on the golden ledge with all the terrible ceremonies of the old Azteo religion. She, in despair at losing him, threw .herself from the high walls into the valley below.

THE LEAGUE OF LABOR. appropriate honors. Advanced Wag«» or the Pitmen Will Throw Down Their Pickg. LATE NEWS. Pittsburg, Nov. 19.—The o(Seers of the Miners' Association continue to express themselves as being satisfied that tho striko for un advance in the price for mining which is aunouneed to commence in the fifty-nine railroad pits of this district to-morrow, will bo short if any s isponsion of work is required. They may bo mistaken in this, however, as it is reported on good authority that a secret meeting of the opcrat6rfi was held yesterday, at which it was resolved to resist the reduction. It is ctated that nearly all the oporators save Gray and Bell, who have conceded tho advance, wore present at this meeting, and that tho reports indicated in many pits, especially those along tho Pan Handle, where the miners were so disastrously defeated last summer, that the advance would not be insisted upon, but that tho miners will continue to work at tho present rato of threo and ono half cents per bushel. In regard to this Secretary Flannory, of the Miners' Association, said to-night that he did Dot oxpoct all of the 8,000 railroad miners to quit work at once, but that unloss the advanco is conceded they would all throw down their picks in the course of a few days. It is evident that koth oporators and miners are somewhat at sea, and it is impossible to predict what tho noxt fow day« will bring forth.

They came from miles in every direction to hear Huffman recite the wonderful story. The church wal surrounded by hundreds of vehicles of all descriptions. Tho sceptics were few, but the smallness of their number did not prevent tliein from hooting vigorously in private conversation at the idea that Huffman had been made the subject of a miracle. At 7 o'clock thero was a buzz of excitement in the- congregation aa Mr. Huffman walked up.the aisle and ascending tho pulpit, took a seat beside the pastor, Rev. Mr. Marquis. In a moment Huffman opened the services by asking the congregation to rise whilo he prayed. He thanked the Lord for His grace in curing him of a disease which the men of this world had vainly attempted to conqucr. He said he was glad now that he suffered years of misory, because in the end, it enabled him to show the world the power of the Lord. Many of the women in tho congregation broke into violent tears before the prayer was ended. After this Huffman proceeded to tell in a sincoro aud earnest manner the story of his cure, and there were none who were not iinpressod with the honesty of his belief that he had really lieon cured by a miracle. He intends, if liis strength holds out, to preach throughout all Western Pennsylvania. The case is beginning to excite interest among the medical fraternity of this city. Ono physician, who was spoken to about the matter, to-day said: "So far as is kuftwn, the disease from which Huffman is said to have suffered, has never been cured, but there ia such a tiling aa progressive locomotor ataxia. It is possible for tho doctors to have been mistaken in this caso. Although I am not what is termed a disbeliever, I am of the opinion that miracles are not worked in those days. I remember a case in St. Louis, where a doctor had pronounced a young laJy with hip disease incurablo, but when sho recovered and her cure attributed to prayer, tho other doctors of the city camo to the conclusion that her physician had made an mcorroct diagnosis. Similar cases could also bo cited." Other physicians talked in tho samo strain. It is not improbablo tiiat Huffman will be brought before tho next meeting of the county medical society.
