ton. Hence when Mr.. Gladstone made the
startling announcement that England had
before her something less than q hundred
years of commercial and industrial suprem-
aey, the panic which at first ensued, was
speedily followed by an outbreak of gem
uine honest British scepticism. Nevertheless
as Mr.. Gladstone was not man to be
pooh, poohed! or to be whistled contemptu-
ously down the wind, or to be consigned to
oblivion by snap of sceptical British fingers,
it became necessary to meet his arguments
with counter arguments, his statistics with
counter statistics, and his deductions with
counter deductions. The champion was soon
found in the person of a Mr.. H. Vivian, a
member of Parliament from Glamorganshire,
gentleman who rarely opens his mouth, but
votes with oommendable regularity. Mr..
Yivian's domain is the coal field. He repre-
sents coal fields; he lives on coal he has
sunk mines and worked mines ; and he views
the carbonized tree ferns and anemones of
British earth as only so much coal, suscepti-
bic of conversion into so much cash Mr..
Vivian considers the coal question to be
inseparable from the coal fields, and
he resents MIR. Gladstone's speech as an in
trusion on his peculiar domain. Hence he
broke through his British reserve and pro-
ceeded to drown the panic beneath flood Of
statistics, which only leave room to wonder
that the whole earth is not one solid piece of
coal, destined for consumption in British
workshops, and to propel British ships. Hs
declares that ythe coal fields already worked
contain still two hundred and thirty thousand
million tons, or twelve hundred years supply
at double the present rate of consumption,
and that, even when this goodly store be-
comes exhausted other veins can be worked
under the new red sandstone and magnesia
Strata
The London Times, pursuing the in
quiry in an elaborate statistical paper, sides
with Mr. Vivian
It is highly probable that good coal may be
discovered at workable depths in several localities
in Great Britain where at present it is hardly Sis
pected except by geologists OF all parts Of the
inquiry this is probably the most difficult and
could only be undertaken with any prospect OF
| success by geologists of great knowledge and
power Of accurate discrimination. Now, the geo
logical survey of Great Britain which is carried
on at the national expense, was established eX-
pressly with the view of fully exploring the
mineral resources of this country in order to their
practical application, and of these coal is by far
The most important The survey, with its or
ganzed staff Of trained observers oughtto be able
to give the best answers to the questions which
we are considering. Ifnot, what, it may be pro
perly asked, is the survey good for?
The question here, says the New York
Evening Post is cleverly put-but the answer
to it NAV be found in Dickenss description Of
the /" Circumlocution Office"

OUAcH1rA RIVER AND CRoPs.- The Monroe
Telegraph says the Ouachita is no longer
navigable to that point. The fall was both
rapid and unexpected
The same paper states that the crops in the
parish Of Ouachita are in most discouraging
condition The like may be said of the neigh
boring parish of jackson, where the accounts
only varied from bad to worse. Under the
protraeted drought cotton has failed to such a
degree that some planters do not expect to
make more than bale 10 ten acres. The
curse is laid at the doors Of the clerk of the
weather, the freedmen's bureau and conse-
quent inertnoss of the negroes, and to the
effects of an unreasoning military despotism.
The Telegraph editor says that he saw whole
farms that did not average four bolls to tile
stalk, and the season is too far advanced fol
improvement Late corn also, as stated by
the same paper, viii not pay for the gather.
ing. Dr.. Harrison. representative from More
house, informs the editor that in the southern
portion Of that parish there has never been
such a failure Of the corn crop, but that cot
ton gives better promise In Union parish

Of reimbursing themselves for expenses al
ready incurred.

THE COAL SUPPLY PANIC.


A short time ago Mr.. Gladstone, then
chancellor Of the English exchequer, caused
something Of panic in England by declaring
that the country had only about a centurys
supply of coal remaining. Now a century is
a long time for man to live, but it is not a
very great space in the history of nation.
The English people have been accustomed to
believe that their actual industrial ascendency
is destined to last forever, and that the day
willneyer dawn when British calico will not
rule the markets of China and Patagonia,
Australia and Canada when British iron will
not furnish railways for the world !; when
British manufactures generally will not de-
monstrate to all the rest Of mankind the pecu-
liar benefeence of Providence in bestowing on
the British people almost monopoly
Of the fruits Of the great carboniferous era
They have thought, oonfding souls! that to
enable Britannia to rule the. wave, and to
prove conclusiyely that g Bpitpns never will
The slaves, the alge and anemones of the deep
sea eayerns, and the palms and tree ferns of
remote geological ages, were converted into
black diamonds, and locked up, subject to
British order alone, in the deep ana capa-
elous bosom of the coal measures. But to hear
from 50 eminent an authority as Mr.. Glad
stone that short hundred years would ex-
haust the accessible treasures of these car
boniferous Golcondas, and that concurrentlv
with this exhaustion, the scepter of commerce
and industry would pass into alien hands
perhaps even into the parvenu grasp Of
America, was too much for honest Anglo
Saxon pride to stomach. Theworld might come
TO an end-that was result to be expected /;
the playful TAIL Of some yagrant comet might
knock this terrestrial sphere, not into the mid
die of next week, but into the center of the
next system an explosion of oonieotured
subterranean fires might rend the solid earth
and scatter its fragments through illimitable
space but that British predominance could
terminate as long as the globe reyolves regu-
larly on its usual axis, aud prosecutes its slip
ulated journey round the sun, was phenom-
enon entirely foreign to the British imagina-

A correspondent of one of our Northern
contemporaries, who is now travelling through
Canada, gives, in one of his letters, long
dissertation upon the thistles to be found
along the line Of Canadian railroads. He
makes no allusion to the abundance of the
favorite food of the long-eared family, but
simply complains of the down which is started
by the wind of the train, and covers the silks,
broadcloth and shoddy of the passengers.

The officers Of the steamship Texas have
also furnished us with the latest Texas files.
Tho negroes Of Houston, Texas, and the
grounding country, are represented as being
nearly alarmed some with pistols, others
with old army muskets, shotguns, ETC., which
they procured at the time Kirby Smith and
Magruder's armies fell to pieces. A large
number of them arc camped around in the.
vicinity Of Houston, Vi both sexes and ali
ages, and their subsistence is derived in al
small degree by hunting, but chiefly by steal
ing hogs, poultry and eggs from the neigh

A obvious sutt-Lav In La Crosse.


From the La Crosse Democrat
There came of to-day before Police Justice
Hubbard, in this city, a singular lawsuit growing
out Of the following particulars: Charles Morland
and Robert w. undine, two young men about
twenty five years OF age, have for some months
been counting young lady. The men grew jeal-
Gus Of each other, and each stroye to win the girl
to consent to a marriage. But she could not de
eide which to have. Sunday night of last week
the two men were sitting ON the porch talking with
the girl, when dispute arose between them as to
which was the shortest route to North La Crosse
Morland saying by the depot, Undiuc claiming by
the wagonjroad. They referred the matter to the
girl, who laughingly replied that the best way to
decide was to walk there and back, each by his
route, when they could decide which was the
quickest and as there was but little difference in
the distance, she could know which was the
smartest man. And she playfully added, Go,
nope nights, aud he who first returns shall claim
my hand in marriage!n
=, Eacn man started, Morland disappearing around
the corner by the depot route Undine around the
other corner to go by the wagon road When
undne returned after a forty minutes walk ON a
hot night, he was made still hotter bv seefng NOV
land cody sitting on the porch where Re had
been Tor thirty-tiye minutes, as he only stepped
around the corner and returned, preerring sitting
with the young lady to walking three miles over
railroad ties. After some hard words Undine told
the girl to go to--a hotter place than La Crosse,
and left the house. He brought suit against the
girl to recover pay for the following bill of goods
which he had presented her while sparkling her

The Way TO RECEIVE TIE PROPOSITION OF AN
Assassin After the death of the younger Pitt,
in January, 1906, Charles James Fox was called
into the service of his country as secretary Of
foreign affairs, through the instrumentality
of Lord Grenville. Mr. Fox's office was at
that time the most important one under the
government, Iand..he was considered as yirtu-
ally minister. He soon entered on negotia-
lion for peace with France, which commenced
in q somewhat singular manner. A French
man made his appearance at the foreign office,
under the name of De la Grevilliere, and re-
quested private interview with Mr.. Fox. He
went on to say that Hit was necessary for the
tranquility Of all crowned heads to put to
death the ruler Of France, and that a house
had been hired at Passy for this purpose. =
On hearing these words, Mr.. Fox drove him
at once from his presence, and dispatched a
communication to Talleyrand informing him Of
the facts. 81 am not ashamed to confess to
you who know me, said be, g that my con
fusion was extreme at finding myself led into
conversation with an avowed assassin. 1 in
stantly ordered him to leave me, Our laws
do not allow me to detain him, but shall
take care to have him landed at sea port as
remote as possible from France A reply
was sent BY Bonaparte, saying, among other
things 2 I recognize here the principles,
honor and virtue Of Mr.. Fox thank him on
my part. In connection with this reply,
Talleyrand stated that the emperor was ready
to negotiate for peace. Negotiations were
accordingly opened but the ratification Of the
treaty was delayed by the sickness and death
of the illustrious English statesman.
This anecdote Of the manly, sincere and
chiyalrous Fox is mentioned by us simply to
show what both reason and instinct would
prompt a generous and magnanimous spirit
To do under similar circumstances. 1t is our
settled conviction that no living person, ex-
cept an Eextreme radical, would hesitate
to declare that Jefferson Davis. would have
acted exactly as Mr.. Fox acted if ever a pro-
position to assassinate Abraham Lincoln had
been made to him.
