THE AREA OF THE UNITED STATES

The AREA OF THE UNITED STATES.
"A comparative statement of the area
of the present States with that of the ter
ritory destined to be erected into States,
the interesting fact that the
area of the latter, in square miles, ex-
ceeds that of the former. The super
fetal area of the territories, organized
and unorganized, excluding Dacotah, of
which there is no estimate given, is set
down at l ,s07 900 square miles; whilst
the superficial area of the present States
is / ,461 900 square miles. The area OF
Kansas is nineteen thousand square
miles greater than that of all New Eng
land, New York, and New Jersey; and
the area of Nebraska is ninety-fve
thousand miles greater than that of all
the non-slaveholding States excepting
California. Texas contains 236,32l
square miles, being the largest State in
the Union, and California comes next,
her area being $4,000 square miles.

b~The latest theory concerning the
moon is, that the dark patches which
we see on it's disc are fog seas. The
general surface and higher projections
of the lunar spheroid are altogether un-
covered and bare; but vapors and mists
have rolled down into the lower regions
in sufficient quantity to fill up their
basin-like hollows, exactly as water has
gravitated into the beds Of terrestrial
oceans. If there is no water nor atmos-
phere on the moon, as hitherto main
tanned, where do the vapors and mists
come from?

ANo OEIR1 IN LABOR.-lnuSW writes
correspondence patient deliver in
the soil for wealth, one of the unlucky
adventures who have followed the iqnis
.fatuus hope wherever it has led them,
during many years, over the mountains,
streams, and valleys of California Not
despairingly does he write, but as if
mildly complaining for the sake of what
relief it may afford his disappointed
soul. Let us hear what he says, for it
is the voice and the complaint of thous.
ands:
~ am constitutionally opposed to
this thing labor. 1t certainly dulls the
intellect. [ know [ am growing more
stupid every day. A thought above the
necessities of appetite scarce enters my
head but dull care, or the back-ache,
extinguishes the brigh scintillation ere
it warns well into life, and leaves me
laundering in tho muck of everyday
toll. Practical men say 1t is well /:
work on. labor 1T is the handspring
of civilization. It is the secret of the
success of individuals, as of nations;
the talisman whose touch pours into the
lap of the world the wealth Of the
IN contains heart or Of It's alluvial COW
ering.' What is that to me2 1 am
not "a practical man only dreamer.
l see no poetry in labor What boots it
to NE if | am memer of a great, or at
least wealthy nation? There is to me
an outer and an inner life; the one is
all practical, cold, hard, and unpalata-
BILE; while the other is full of warm and
gentle affections, lofty aspirations,-
fraught with kindly and pleasing emo
tons, with glorious imaginings, with
Unsuitable longings for nobler and bet
ter life. Then why should not l be
rather dreamer than practical man ?
These ideas are Utopian, you will say,
and l admit it;-what of that? If
my mind to me kingdom is why
should not live in it ?-break into all
its Businesses? explore its Ethiopias,
and light up its gloomy depths? / can
not do this and toll like slave Yet
your practical men say this work must
be done. Why? That the world may
profit by it;-and what of me? Sue
cess shall be yours, wealth, honor,
and all that sort of thing. Well, l
must work, per force. But adieu, my
kingdom, my subjects all bright Wis
ions, fond dreams, and thronging fan
cies, rainbow-winged Irelease We from
all allegiance. Like lady fair of old,
with gay goshawk,' | here unloose
your jesses, and cast ye to the winds:
If ye are true, ye will come back to me;
if false, why then, tits well | set ye

HISTORY OF CALIFORNIA NEwsPA-
PERs.-Under this title the Sacramento
Union of December 25th presented as
Christmas Gift to its readers an elab-
crate, complete, and interesting histor-
ical account of the newspaper press of
this State, commencing with the year
1882, and coming down to the present
day. This account appears in double
issueand occupies twenty-eight columns
Much of it is highly entertaining, and
will hereafter possess historical value,
and in publishing it the proprietors of
the Union have established another
claim to their already deserved popu-
larity. In summing up it gives the
following statistics
The returns given In connection with
the present history show the number of
places where newspapers are published
to be forty-four, the whole number of
existing newspapers and periodicals
eighty-nine; of which nineteen are pub
lished daily, thirty-four weekly, one
semi-monthly, one monthly, and one
annually. In politics, thirty-one are
Democratic, two Republican, and thirty
five independent and neutral There
are six religious papers i'll the State, as
follows: Catholic, one: Campbellite,
one; Congregationalist, one; Baptist,
one; Hebrew, one; Methodist, one
There are six literary papers, all pub
lished in San Francisco There are forty
eight localities in the State at which
papers have been published.
The aggregate number of newspa-
pers and periodicals which have been
published in California to date, COM
mencing with 1916, according to the re-
turns which we have given, is 324.
READING LEcTUREs.-The Nevada
National does not like this custom. Rev.
MIR. Benton has recently been lecturing
in Grass Valley, and on that hint the
National says:
"This reading of lectures is COM
paratively a dull entertainments There
can be no grace, no passion, no flow,
nor force, nor freedom, in delivering
disquisition when a man is all the while
drawing from his manuscript, and bob
bling his head up and down Ikea brows-
ing deer, or fastened to it continually
like grass-eating goose.
We like to see man stand up
straight on his feet, his chest expanded,
and his head thrown back, while with
the power of Pericles, and the polish of
Cicero, the beauty, poetry, truth, argu-
ment, and passion are seen, as the oeca-
sion demands, embodied in his very
oracular being, and the language, ever
expressive and harmonious, flows from
his lips with the free gush of foun-
tain. :a
Men would gain more reputation,
afford more pleasure, and do more good,
by delivering one lecture in some such
way as this, than by reading fifty from
a manuscript.
"Write good lecture and commit it,
as did Demosthenes, observe the graces
of elocution, and then let yourself out
like a man into an adequate physical
expression of what you mean. This is
the way to please an audience, the way
to lecture with effect, and consequently
the Way to good"

and ito great value. Should the navigation Of the
X ,uawba river be improved, - re hope II viii be,
soon. there will be Gan activity aud enterprise
o, that river from Loup creek TO its mouth
that will hardly be parsileled any where else 10
the State. With oil the Disadvantages that now
exist. under the imperfect and dangerous cond''
tioa Of the navigation Of that river, there Is .
degree Of enterprise and development on Ito bor~
dsrs that 10 both gratifying and surprising. We
state fsw facts below, which We gather from the
Kanawha Star:
| Messrs CooSs, PICKETT Co., are now making
about 500 gallons OF crude oil per day, ut their
Camel Coal Oil factory, on the Kapawhs, about
twenty Eve miles above Charleston. They intend
TO enlarge their operations. They ship thsir coal
| to Maysville, Ky, where IL lie refined.

Camel Coal was discovered last year, Messrs. Al
LIN T. CAPERroS Co., are er Getting Camel Coal
Factory. Tho Coal discovered there 10 very fine,
and the vein very large. The Paint creek compa
| ny own some seven or eight thousand Of the
very finest coal lands in the great Kanawha coal
basin. At present this company 10 retarded 10 itI
mining operations by the difficulties Of navigation
| ITS railroad three miles long, down Paint creek
strikes the Kanswna absut fifty miles above
| Cha rleston, aud Il has no means of transports
ton, except during the brief periods of rises in
the river; too uncertain to justify systematic OPP
| erations. But the Coal Oil will not be retarded b,
| that disadvantage. 1t can bear land carriage t
point from which there is good navigation
These facts will apply to q number Of Other
companies near the Paint creek, and lower dowr
the Kanawha.
During the month of December, the Western
Mining and Manufacturing Company shipped
from Coal river, down the Ohio, sc, 600 bushels o
the we'll known Peytona Coal, and the Virgins
Camel Coal Company shipped about 10000 bush
els of the same coal. From the Winifrede Mine,
there we're shipped last month 100000 bushels
and from the Ksnswbs Mining Company about
IL 600 bushels.
The Kanawhs river coal commands very higf
prices and il esteemed the best that is transport
ed down the Ohio. The exertions made to tbi,
time by the Coal onpanies on the Ksnawhs and
its tributaries, may be considered emphaticalIJ

difficulties. That any thing at all Is done In tn.
