Signs Of the Times.

When man makes his wife handsome
present, it is a sign they have been quarrcll-
ing recently. When young lady "has
very bad cold, or else she'd be delighted"
ETC., is rather dangerous sign that, when
once she sits down To the piano, she will
probably not leave it for the remainder Of
the evening. When gentleman loses his
temper in talking, it is tolerably correct
sign that he Is getting "thc worst Of the
argument" When a lady falls into hyster-
les, or faints, you may safely look upon it,
without being in the least accused Of wait
Of charity, as a sign Uf extreme weakness
on her part. When YOU see the servant
carrying under her apron bottle Of soda-
water into house. you may at once seize j,
as sure sign that some one has been drink.
ing over night. When you see a theatre
breaking out with violent eruption Of bills,
and posters and placards, proclaiming "a
blaze of triumph" or San unprecedented
success YOU NAV view it as a sure sign
tiat that theatre is not doing much. When
you see shop bursting out in the same
way, you may follow it as a sign which will
safely guide you to the same conclusion
When an author invites a number Of his
literary friends and critics 10 dinner, sou
may take it as an infallible sign that he is
about 10 bring out new book. When d
young couple are seen visiting cheap fur
niturc mart, You may interpret it into .
pretty fair sigh, that that the happy day
is not far distant. When you see man 60
up i'll a balloon, CT turn director of railroad
or the lcsse ola play house, you have right
ii YOU like: to look upon it as sign of mad
ness. When the boys begin to tear up their
books, it is sign the holidays are about to
commence. Wcen the subject Of an article
is exhausted, it is sign to leave off.

The Formation Of Coal.

DR.. Antiscll, in recent lecture in New
York, on the subject of the origin of coal,
gave the following interesting facts:
ave never find beds of coal. except un-
der certain circumstances, which are the
same all over the earth's surface. We al
ways find them above the mountain lime
stone, and they are nerer found in horizon
tai position, but always in the form of ba-
sin. The Illinois coal field, bounded BY St.
Louis and Cincinnati, is the largest in the
United States, and the second largest is the
Allegheny coal field. The whole coal field.
may here remark, is not made up Of one
mass, but Of seams.
There is another coal bed in Michigan,
which stretches from one lake to the other
across the whole peninsula. The coal bed
of Illinois is sixty thousand square miles in
extent, larger than the whole of Great Bri-
tian. The Michigan coal field occupies
space of sixteen thousand square miles,
In Virginia, there is bed of coal. compare
lively small its seams are, however, very
thick, and of these there are five altogether
The depths of these coal beds are very great
the Illinois is $500 feet, and the Allcgha-
ny is about 1900. The coal is surrounded
by beds of shalc, which retain the impression
of the trees, shrubs, plants, sea-wecds, SC.
of which the coal is made up. The mass OF
the coal is, however, formed Of tcrrestria
plants-as the fern, Of which there is lar
ger amount than of any other, and of whic!
there are two varieties, the cone and thr
wedge shaped ferns--in fact, YOU will fin,
beds made up of ferns alone"
From another source we clip the follow
ing:
The amount of coal taken from the mine
on the Ohio and its tributaries, is estimate
to exceed 100000 bushels per year
The consumption of coal by Cincinnati is cs
mated to exceed this year, 100000 bush

the American people and before the world,
by the results which its amicable diplomacy
has accomplished.
The Prometheus affair, too, has been sat
isfactorily adjusted by full and ample ex-
PLANTATION and apology, and the disavowal of
the act of outrage by the British Govern
ment. The promptness with which the de-
mands for explanation were met, shows the
high estimation in which the Administration
is held abrord.
The question of Intervention, under the
circumstances in which it has been presented

trodden Of every cline, as do all American
citizens, it was but natural that the advent
upon our shores of one so gifted in eloquence
as Kossuth should create sensation and
prodnce an excitement scarcely ever equall-
ed. 1t was also natural that in the heat Of
tha excitement our Government should be
called upon to take position in unison with
the popular impulse. But this too was met
with the same irmness and wisdom that has
characterized all the acts OF the present
Administration. While entering fully into
the popular feeling, and partaking of the
universal sympathy for the man and his
cause, the President and Secretary of State
assumed that the policy of the Government
was settled, and that the principles of the
Father of his Country in this behalf could
not be departed from. They had been our
chart thus far, and by observing them, we
had been able to steer clear Of shoals and
dangerous rocks, and at the same time exert
a great moral influence upon the cause Of
freedom throughout the world. Calm re.

Every department ofthe Government has
been most efficiently and successfully ad.

country it will stand prominent as one dis
tihguished for successful negotiation-for it,
triumphs of peace-for the immeasurablt
prosperity it has given to the country a
home-so far as the influence of the Gov

the wisdom, energy and complete success
which has crowned its foreign and domestic

A very remarkable discovery is announ-
ced IN the R,chmond Times. Ii appears that
while several men, engaged in blasting out
limestone, near Buchanan, Botetourt County
they dicovered cave, with an entrance Of
some six Or eight feet in height. and upwards
of one hundred long, with two apartments.
In the first they found some oarthenwarc,
and 4 laIge stone cross; on the cross there
was some carving, but it was so much de-
faced bt the hand Of time, that it was scarce
ly discernible. A number Of citizens, with
lantern, subsequently entered the second
apartment, where they found a skeleton seat
ed on large iron chest, with its back rest
ing against the wall. On opening this chest,
they found it contain gold coin, perfectly
smooth on one side, and cross with some
characters on it on the other. The gold il
the chest by weight is worth seven hundred
and eightyfhree dollars.

Mr. TowNsHEEDs REMARKs.-That Ohio
has been favored with noble men in Congress no
one will doubt who ever fell in with either Mr..
Chase, Root or Gddings. To this little band OF
tried souls must be joined Mr.. Townshend, of
the House, a liberal Democrat who recently ut
tered some brave words on that floor:
Mr. Townrhend proceeded to submit someTc-
marks on the present condition of the democrat
c party. lie considered this party as party of
progress, as n party of the present and future
rather than of the past. For this reason he had
co-operated with it, and had labored for it with all
the energy he possessed. But the Democratic
party did not own him, and he was not bound TO
follow its dictates, right or wrong. When, how
ever, he could employ this agent to promote the
great ends Of humanity and justice, then and then
only would he act with it. The Democratic
Convention of Baltimore, composed Of chosen
delegates from the whole country, was doubtless
only authorized TO select men TO be their stand
ard-bearers in the approaching contest. II was
also authorized to proclaim to the world the sem
iiments Of the Democratic party. But he did
not understand it to be the right of that Conven-
ton to publish, as the sentiments of the Demo-
cratic party, doctrines which were held only by
a portion Of that party. The Convention en-
dorsed the compromise measures of the last Con-
press, series of measures conCocted by Mr..
Clay, sustained by Webster, and put through by
the force of Fillmore's administration. Now,
he protested against this stealing of wing thun-
der-this stealing of wing timber, with which to
build q Democratic platform. He protested
against the Interpolation into the Democratic
creed of any thing which could make the party
the ally of slavery and opposition. The Wing
party, if either, was the natural ally Of slavery
the Democratic party had as much higher and no.
bier mission TO perform. The resolution affirm
ing the compromise measure was fraud, and in
tended to humbug those who chose to be hum
plugged by it.
This sketch is "skort but swcet'-too short
for the desire OF every liboral-minded reader but
sweet to the heart in indicating most unmistak-
ably the destiny of the great Democratic party of
the nation-its speedy advance to the broad plat
form of "freedom for ALL"
