KENTUCKY CoAL.-Professor B. Silliman, Jr.,
has brought before the notice of the Association
for the Promotion of Science, now assembled at
Washington, the peculiar merits of the Brecken-
ridge, KY. coal. He stated that the scenery OF
the country has been created from the beds Of
this coal, which makes a terrace resisting all
changes in progress round about, and hence it
is found on the tops Of hills only. Struck on
its side, it resists hard strokes of the hammer,
but struck on the end it splits readily. 1t is
very elastic. 1t can be turned, carved, bored,
and does not soil anything When exposed to
the hammer, it does not become disintegrated
like other bituminous Goals. 1t does not spon-
taneousy ignite. Organic remains are found
imbedded in it abundantly; and of unusual size.
Electricity is speedily developed from its friction
1t burns like the best camel coal. 1t contains
large amount of volatile matter, which no SOL
vents remove.

THE ClRcAssrASs.-Theyh have nothing like a
written law among them, but are governed by
sort of common right, or what has become an
established custom from ancient usage. The
great bulk of the people assemble on important
occasions in sort of general council, where the
Prince always opens the business, and proposes
the measures he thinks should be taken for the
consideration of the assembly The whole body
of mobiles then deliberate on what he has brought
forward, and the result is referred to a certain
number of grave personages chosen from the
people, who, by their patriarchal consequence
and eminent wisdom, have acquired the title Of
Elders, selected on the occasion by the various
tribes These venerable men then discuss the
subject in debate, and each gives opinion. If
the three consultations are found to agree for
the measure proposed, it is adopted; and if it
is question of social right, decision becomes a
precedent, and is binding as national decree.
The assemblages which SO much resemble the
Saxon Wittenagemote, are held in the open area
near the dwelling of the Prince.

DECIDEDLY COOL.-lne Cincinnati COm'
mercial. of the 18th inst, says:
A leap not much less perilous than that Of
Samuel Patch, was witnessed OH Saturday
by the conductor and passengers of the
Covington and Lexington train. A young
farmer was walking across the bridge at
DemoisvilIe, just after the train had passed
over, when the engine was suddenly rever-
sed and the cars backed at a rapid rate.
There was no room OH the side ofthe bridge
to stand between the edge and the cars; the
only alternative was to spring off into the
creek twenty or thirty feet below. The
young man gave one look at the cars and
Instantly sprung over the side and struck
the water feet foremost. The train was
stopped, but to the surprise of all, the hero of
the periIous feat came out of the water,
shook himself, and walked off whistIing.

is said that in the customhouse at New York
there is Spaniard whose business it is to
receive and test money; that he will pour
the contents of an immense bag of gold or
silver coin into the scaIe-for it is weighed,
not counted-and in trice announce the
amount of dollars and cents. Then running
his fingers through the shining pieces, and
applying his nose to them, Immediately
takes out every counterfeit. He has never
been known to make mistake in pronoun-
cling money good or bad; and his intallible
instinct for detecting the spurious metal is
located in his olfactory organs.

"WHo IS Mrs. pARr1soros s"-The inquiry

"WHo Is Mrs. PARTIEaToNS"-The inquiry
is frequently made, "Who is Mrs. Darlington p
We first read of the old lady in a speech made
by Sydney Smith-the wittiest and probably the
wisest man of his day-at Taunton, England. in
1881, on the subject of Parliamentary reform,
by which Great Britain was then much agitated.
He was insisting that the possibility of the
House of Lords defeating the reform movement
was the most absurd notion that ever entered
into human imagination. And to illustrate the
futility of resisting the popular demand, he
said: 81 do not mean to be disrespectful, but
the attempt of the Lords to stop the progress
of reform reminds me very forcihly of the great
storm of Sidmouth, and of the conduct of the
excellent Mrs. Darlington on that occasion. In
the winter of 1924 there set in a great flood
upon the town; the tide rose to an incredible
height, the waves rushed in upon the houses,
and every thing was threatened with destruc-
ton In the midst of this sublime and terrible
storm Dame Darlington, who lived upon the
beach, was seen at the door of her house with
mop and pattens, trunding her mop, squeezing
out the sea water and vigorously pushing away
the Atlantic Ocean. The Atlantic was aroused.
Mrs. Partington's spirit was up; but l need not
tell you that the contest was unequal The
Atlantic Ocean beat Mrs Darlington. She was
excellent at slop or a puddle, but she should
not have meddled with tempest"
