Anthracite Coal.

The anthracite coal from Pennsylvania
has been used only thirty-one years, and
yet the consumption amounts already to the
enormous figures of 8, 500, 900 tons. The
Philadelphia correspondent OF the New
York 1Tibztns relates the following most
extraordinary fact respecting the persecu-
ton which the persons suffered Who brought
the first sample of coal to Philadelphia:
"Thirty-one years ago the first coal came
to Phiiadelphia-being ten wagon loads,
hauled over the mountains, by Geo. Shoe
maker. of Pottsville. Very few persons
could be induced to purchase it. and most
of these were wholly unsuccessful in their
attempts to make it burn. Everybody con-
sidered it mere stone. Mr.. Shoemaker
was denounced IN all quarters as cheat,
and measures were being taken to arrest
hins for ssOindling;- but he escaped by leav-
ing the city by a circuitous route.
''The most remarkable feature in this ex-
traordinary speculation was that Mr. Shoe
maker did not himself know how to make
the coal burn. He was therefore unable to
convince the public that it really would ig-
mite. Had he experimental at home, and
brought with him CRATE or stove, in
which to kindle a successful fire, the exhi-
bition would have no doubt fastened full
ten years the development of the coal bu
siness. He reached his home, disgusted at
the belligerent temper of our citizens, and
heart-siek at the i'll success of his adven-
ture. His reputstion as an honest man was
rescued, however, by an iron master in Del
aware county. into whose hands some of
the repudiated mineral fell. He tried the
coal causad IL tn burn freely with an i'm
tense heat, and was SO pleased with it that
proclaimed the fact in the newspapers
This led others to try it, and they also sue
ceeding, the prejudice was removed, and
consumption went on from this beginning,
until last year it reached the enormous
quantity of $500, 900 tons.''

The Female Slaves of London.

The London Times says that the young
milliners and dressmakers of that city are
condemned to eighteen hours toll out of the
twenty four in each day and night. They
work in crowded unventilated rooms, where
their frames are kept bent at their labor
until their eyes and their limbs refuse to
perform their duty. They have short
and painful life and an early grave. In a
recent speech Lord Shaftesbury said that
many of these young women had been
trained gently and tenderly, in delicate and
happy homes, possessing all the virtues and
tenderness that belong to the female sex,
and rendered by those very characteristics,
more Obedient, more unmurmuring
vishly subject to the authority and tyran-
ny of those who are put over them. His
Lordship adds that they have no alternative
between submission and the street door; and
then asks, els the condition of such a
young woman one whit better than the con-
dition of the most wretehed slave In the
Southern States of America"

What a Pin Can Do.

Some time ago an argument was started
against the Great Leviathan, now being fn-
ished at the London docks, that it would
be useless as a carrier of freight, on ac-
count of the enormous tonnage she would
require, which could not be gathered in
any port in time to render her voyages reg
ular or frequent. This set an English math-
ematician to work to show what a pin
could do in the way of freight. He made
known the result of his calculation, which
proved that by dropping one pin into
the Leviathan to-day, TWO tomorrow, four
next day, and so on for one year, the ag-
gregate would sink that monster to the bot
tom of the ocean.
Mr.. A. Breneman, of Lancaster, Penn,
seeing the statement, worked it out, and the
following is the result of his labor:
Allowing 200 pins to the ounce, one pin
the first, two the second, four the third,
and so on, doubling for 365 days or one
year, would gieve 876. $40, 567, $40, 400
pins; which at 200 per ounce, would
amount to 4.384, ,859, ,836, ,852 ounces, or
274. .653. 800, ,3O6 pounds four ounces; and
allowing 1000 pounds to the ton, would be
49,, ,626, ,651 tons. Only think of the enor-
nous weight from the pin Enough to
sink not only the great Leviathan, but the
whole British Navy. 1t is neat little
question for boys to look at, and calculate
how much they would be worth in forty
years, by laying up one cent the first week,
two the second, four the third, and SO on.
It is calculated to instruct them in how
great fortunes are made.-Edstom Express.

Mr.. Webster was called upon by an old
gentleman of Nantucket, to undertake a
cause for him, the argument of which was
approaching, and his client asked what
would be his terms.
swhy," said Mr.. W., t.I cannot argue
under one thousand dollars; for, although
the case is not heavy one, it will require
me to hang about the court for week, and
I should be as willing to be actually enga-
ged for a week as to lose my time in this
way"
;.Well," said the client, eff give you
thousand dollars, viii you argue any other
cause in which you mis- ght be employed?''
Certainly" said the advocate.
The bargain was closed. The old man
having an eye to business, applied to seve-
raj persons in Nantucket, who had cases on
the issue list, and made his own terms for
Webster's services, and actually received
four hundred dollars beyond what he paid
and besides that gained his own cause gratis.

footing. The historical Halles, or markets.
having been rebuilt and rearranged on s

last was fixed for the moving Of the dealers

and potatoes, from the ground they have
occupied near the Church of st. Eustache.
to their new stalls aud shops Ia the Halles
Centrales. After the departure of the hu-
ma a tenants of the old provisional mafketI
the workmen proceeded to pull down the
sheds. Beneath these sheds q colony of
rats had fixed their domicile for some time
past. 4 regiment of boys. armed With
sticks, and backed by all the dogs of the
quarter, mustered in pack, awaiting the
unearthing of the game from their cover.
A crowd Of spectators made the lofty build
ing around re-eoho with their shouts and
their bursts of laughter. Several rats,
alarmed at the disturbance and the barking
of the dogs. climbed up the persons of the
lookers-on, to find refuge on their shoul-
ders or on their heads.
One girl, feeling rat taking walk round
her neck, was so overcome with terror that
she tainted. One thousand is the estimated
number of rats who fell victims to this in
hospitable reception but it may be presum-
ed that those who saved their bacon were
in considerable majority. This is nothing
to what occurs st Montevideo, (unless it is
greatly changed from what it was.} where
the only drawback upon the delightful way
in which an evening may be spent is the
necessity of returning home through long
narrow streets, so infested with voracious
rats as sometime to make the way perilous.
There are no sanitary regulations in the
town except those provided by showers of
rain, which at intervals carry off the heaps
of filth from long established resting places.
Around huge mountains of earrion. vegets-
bles, and stalessfruit, here accumulated, rats
muster in legions. If you attempt to pass

A man of genius Swede, with an un-
pronounceable name-has done more. La
menting, probably the dearth of darnatic
talent, he conceived the idea of raising rats
to the dignity of tragic and comic stars
His training succeeded admirably. Ham
let, followed by popular farce, acted by
rats, in portable theater which the mama
ger could carry on his shoulders from place
to place, obtained colossal success in
Sweden and Germany.
