Anthracite Coal.

The Melbourne (Australia) argus exposes
what the editor thinks most impudent but
amusing humbug of some Yankee speculator,
the attempt to palm off anthracite coal as
something that will burn. He denounces the
imposition in this style:
ave feel bound to warn the public against a
species of coal which at present is being offer
ed for sale in Melbourne; and which, although
it looks like coal, breaks like COAL smells like
coal, and feels like coal, has this trifing differ
ence-that coal has tendency to burn, and
this has not. A greater imposture was never
palmed off upon fire-loving world. The great
blocks lie piled on the fire like stones; not only
not burning, but apparently incapable of being
warmed through sufficiently to fly. We are
victimized to the extent Of few tons, to the
great disgust Of our engine fires; and if useless
for any other purpose, we can recommend them
as the most effective fire annihilators that we
ever saw or heard Of. America, we believe, has
the honor of the production Of this valuable and
most unique article. It is worthy of the land
of wooden nutmegsr'
The idea Of manufacturing wooden nutmegs
was good-was excellent-but that of manu-
featuring "great black blocks" of something
that CLOCKS like coal, breaks like coal, smells
like coal, and feels like coal, is truly amusing
and original. The editor evidently thought he
had been made the victim of Yankee trick
The day after the above paragraph appeared
a correspondent wrote note to the argus man,
telling him how to use the coal. The editor
says:
"We are very much obliged for the informa-
ton contained, but as it is not always conveni-
ent to be changing our furnace, we have adopt
ed the more ready expedient Of changing our
coal merchant"

A NEGRO TURNING WHITE.-A correspon-
dent of the Columbus Enquirer, writing from
Walker county, gives the following statement,
peculiarly interesting to Psychologists:
8 have just seen, on the plantation where
am at present stopping, negro woman who is
turning tchite! had heard of such persons
before, but they never were located in one place
long at time, or, if SO, were generally at
tached to some museum, but had never, till
now, seen one. This negro, now and then,
turns as white as any "pale-faced" lady you
ever saw, and then she gradually turns dark
again, until she is as black as any sable mu-
latto hereabouts or elsewhere"
The New Orleans Bee says: This is not a
very rare occurrence. We have seen a similar
case in New Orleans, in the person of negro
woman, the property of the late Benz. Story.
The change was, however, incomplete-her
skin being, so to speak, spotted with large white
patches. The physiological explanation Of the
fact is extremely simple. The skin Of every hu-
man being is composed of three tissues--the
outercast, or cuticle; the middle, or rete mucu-
som; and the innermost, or true skin In the
rete mucusom lies the pigment or coloring
matter which gives to the surface Of the body
its natural hue. In the white man, the rete
mucusom is nearly transparent. In the negro,
it is black. Occasionally, by some freak of ma
ture, portions of the coloring matter in the skin
of the negro are absorbed, and the cuticle as
sumes q ghastly whiteness, the more striking
from its contrast with the surrounding jetty
hue. In the class fpersons commonly termed
"Albinos," similar absorption of the coloring
matter of the iris has taken place, in conse-
quence of which, the eye presents an unnatural
and revolving aspect, looking red, and being
really weak from the. absence of a membrane
WI ny absorbing part of the luminous rays
IN 1t enter the eye, presents them from imping-
ing too strongly on the delicate retina."
In the case above cited, it appears that the
negro woman, after becoming white, turned
black again. Hence it is presumed, that the
coloring matter of the skin was first detached
by absorption, and then again deposited.

Six DAYS IN a GRAvE.-A short time ago
two men and boy were buried six days and
nights in mari pit at Ecretiville, in the de-
partment of the Seine Inferieur, and then res
cued. During the whole Of that time they
were without food, without water, without light,
and almost without clothes and were in such
a confined place that with the exception Of
the boy, they could not stand upright. Boitard,
the eldest man, declares that during the whole
time he did not sleep more than two hours |;
but his two companions, and especially the
youngest, slept more. They slept back to back.
They felt no hunger, and Boitard said that
even if they had had provisions they would
not have touched them but they experienced
great thirst.
On the fourth day they found little water,
thick with mari, by digging into the bottom Of
the pit It was this water, probably, which
preserved their strength. At first they heard
the noise of the pickaxes and spades above
breathing was SO loud as to prevent it from
reaching them and this circumstance naturally
increased their agony of mind; they also feared
the miners were digging in q wrong direction.
One of them had 6fty chemical matches and q
small piece of candle; but, though they often
tried, they could not, for the want Of air, cause
the candle to burn.
During the latter part of the time, they be-
came so exhausted as to be unconscious oftheir
position; but they remember that the boy once
cried, as if in dream, "There is the rope,
Boitard Let us ascend!' Only one of them,
Briard, was able toSbed tears; and when he
did so, the boy consolsd him by telling him
that they were sure to be rescued. The mo-
ment a breath of air reached them they tainted,
but after while recovered. The first thing
Boitard said on being rescued was Give me
a pinch Of snuff" and he took il with intense
delight Galignanis Paris Messenger.
