A RICH MORMON LADY.

One of the women belonging TO the
last company of Mormon Saints who
passed through here yesterday, bound
for Salt Lake, had ninety-scven thou
sand solid reasons why she ought not
to have gone thithcr. In other words
she had, in a little iron-boundi chest,
nincty.scvcn thousand dollars in gold
With an amount Of worldly prudence
which We should not have expected TO
find in Saint, but which showed that
she had learned the necessity of being
as wise as serpent and as harmless
as dove, she entrusted the money to
the Express Company, who transport
ed it for her. Only think of it-ninc,
ty-scvcn thousand dollars and a wo.
man going to some Mormon harem
How much better would she have
done to remain in St. Joseph, and give
her heart and her chest to some one
Of our nice young men. Almost any
one would have taken the two gifts
with q thankful eart.-.S. 10. Jour.

A DEAR REBEL WIDOW.

We have received magnificent mag.
nolia blossom from a beautiful and
charming young widow of Nashville,
who tells us that, although size is a
terrible rebel, she is an admirer of us,
aud that, if we will visit Nashville,
she will not spit in our face, as some
Nashville trollop lately threatened to
do. but give us cordial welcome to
her home. Sweet widow, we thank
you. Ii there are any created beings
more charming than the angels, they
must be y-ung widows. You arc a
widow after our own heart, and we
acknowledg you have got it. We
will soon pass an hour with you, and
if we do not make you loyal the first
half hour, we will agree to hc rebel
the last half We slept last night
with your great fragrant blossom at
our bedside, and We hardly need tell
you that our dreams were u blending
Of flowers, and music, and birds, and
stars, and love, and moonlight, and
paradise, and kisses, and witches, and
widows.--Louisriiie Journal.

GRAPHIC.

The Daily Wisconsin has a graphic
dclincator on its columns whose forte
is cvedntiy the description" Speak
ing Of a wire screen, such as came
into fashion more than twenty years
ago, he says: "Thc advantage of
such screens is, that while they admit
air and light through window, one
from the outside cannot see what is
going on inside of the room, but any
one inside can see distinctly every
thing that is going on outdoors. At
the same time, as they are painted,
they make a good sign"
They must resemble a shirt, the adj
vantage of which is that, while it ad.
mits light and air, one on the inside
cannot be seen (only as the bead and
legs protrudc at either extremity
while the person inside can see every
thing that is going on outside of the
shirt aforesaid. Properly painted

THE CHICKAHOMINY.

The ChiCkabOminy river, all know,
from the reports of McCleIlan's opera
tions, to be a small stream in the vi
cinity of Richmond, which broadcns
and decpens rapidly in its course.
Some time before it reaches the James
river, into which it empties thirty-sev-
en- miles above Fortress Monroe, it is
affected by the tides, and at the mouth
is, as appears from the James, between
two and three miles wide. The Chick.
ahominy is the stream which Captain
John Smith was exploring when he
was captured by the warriors of Pow
haitian. 1t is believed that he was
captured somewhere near the scene ol
the late battle. 1t will be remember.
cd that its banks were in the days OF
job Smith, as now, noted for marshes
Smith was nircd in swamp when
the savages pounced upon him.

How a Bed of Coal is Found.

We are now in position to compre-
bend the formation of bed of coal in
oldon time. Let US suppose that Ger.
tain coal bed has been completed by the
growth of luxurlant plants over a low
lying tract subject to foundations from
the sea. Rising ground Of granitic or
shis ose rocks in the distance defines the
margins of the basin, and the boundaries
of a continent from which the sedimen-
tary materials of the coal stra.a are
derived. The growth of vegetation
marks period of rest but now a slow
subsistence Of the whole tract commences.
The brackish waters of the estuary, and
the salt waters from the ocean, invade
the jungle, carrying dark mud IN suspcn-
sion, with floating stems of trees and
fronds Of ferns. Presently the mud sub
sides, and covers in one uniform sheet
the accumulated vegetation Of centuries.
The process of subsistence goes on while
the sea.currents aud rivers pour into the
estuary fine sand and mud, in which
branches and stclus of trees from the up
lands are included. This process con-
tinnes until { e sinking of the occan-bed
eli her altogether ceases or is counter
balanced by the rapidity with which the
sediment is deposited. The basin be-
comes gradually shallowcr, and the
plans begin to reappear, commencing
perhaps at the coast, and creeping sea-
ward until The whole basin is again over
spread by forest of huge cryptogamic
trees, arborescent ferns and conitcrs,
with dense underground of giant gras-
ses. These, generation after generation,
flourish and die, their leaves, branches
and trunks falling around and gradually
accumula ing, till the pulpy mass at;ains
thickness OF twenty, fifty or one hun
dred feet. The process concluded, the
basin again commences to subsidc, the
waters return and bury the mass for
thousands of centuries stratum af or
stratum accumulates, till the vegetable
pulp is subject to the pressure of thou
sands of feet of solid matter. Mean
while chemical as we'll as mechanical
change ensue, IN process of time what
was once forest is changed into bed
of coal. by a repetition of this process :;
with local variations, we may conceive
the formation of any number of coal
seams, amounting, in some districts, to
fifty Oh sixty, and embraced within a
vertical thickness of several thousand
feet of shales, clays and sand-stoncs. -
Ages roll on, the strata are moved to
their very foundations upheaved from
the sea-bottou, the breakers and cur
rents sweeps away portion of the
covering, and the mineral treasures are
brought with the reach of mining indus
