1t is known that NJ. MicheIet married a
young vile in his old age, and that his work
LA Femme Is to great extent made up OF the
results OF his personal experience of married
life. Nine Micbelet has now made her debut
as an authoress-or, rather, according to the
modern dlctlon, an author. NJ. and Mime MI
chelet, before leaving Paris as they art wont to
do, TO pass the winter season at HyereS 1.-THE
locality In which M. Michelet collected the
materials for his "Poisson") gave fare well
dinner to their friends. In the evening some
chapters were read of a new novel by Mime
Mlchelet, called "L'Enant" This like some
OF her husbands books, is said to be personal,
and to contain passages from the history of her
own life. Mime Michelet was governess, and
for some time lived i'll that capacity with the
family of Prince Cantacuzene at Bucharest.
The Pdtrie ofLausanre (Switzerland) says:-
1t has been reported in this locality for soma
time past that certain English spectators pro-
posed to buy at Choam the milk of more than a
hundred cows, in order to forward the same to
England in powdered state. This report now
tulns out to be true, and we hear that the build
ings necessary Tor the performance of this
operation are already in course of construction
and will shortly be tenanted. The milk IS re-
duced TO powder by means OF evaporation.
Arrived at its destination, the powder win be
mixed with certain quantity of water, and thus
be restored to its liquid state"

The Colllery Explosions in England.

From the Wortd.
II is impossible to frame any satisfactory
theory as to the origin of the terrible disasters
which have taken place during the past few
days in the coal regions of England. Aside
from the simple horror OF the disasters them
selyes-by which hundreds OF persons have lost
their lives, and a cessation OF work to do, which
means q cessation of bread to eat, has been en-
tailed upon thousands Of others-the most
striking feature of this appalling news is the
almost simultaneous occurrence of several of
these explosions in mines situated far apart
from each other. Whether this is to be regarded
as one of those curious cases OF synchronous
accidents upon which Buckle and others have
speculated so CuriOusly, or whether it indicates
some ST. ange and perlious subterranean work
ing oil the elements, cannot yet be even pldusi-
bly, guessed at. 1t may be observed, no gever,
in connection with the former hypothesis, that
we have had something net disSimllar in the
three or four fires 10y which, Uitnln as many
days, as many tenement houses in this city have
been consumed, each ire bringing with it dis
NAL loss OF human life.
II the second hypothesis prove TO be the cor
rect one, a new and very serious interest WI | be
given by these Cadmi.ies TO the question which
has OF late been so earnestly debated in Great
Britain, OF the length of time during which
England can expect to live upon her actual coal
treasures. II has been pretty clearly demon
strated that at the present rate of consumption
these bowels of England's greatness and DO wer
must give out within the next century, and if
subterranean fires and explosions, ramIfying
throughout the underworld OF the island are
to accelerate this consumption, there Will really
be much reason for Euglshmen to set about
dealing seriously with the prospect which will
then STARE them in the face.
1t is anticipated by at least one British SouGat
that the immediate effect produced by the assur-
auce that England's coal mines are not only
eXhaustible, but rapidly nearing the point of
exhaustion, will he the concentration of cen-
tito thought upon some new and less cumbrous
means of developing heat. 1t certainly cannot
be regarded as impossible that the generation
which has laid bold, so resolutely and to such
purpose, Of the tremendous and subtle power of
electricity, should also see the furnace and the
coalDit abolished as the stage coach and the
windmill telegraph have been.' And if the dis
covery IS to be made, nothing will more
assuredly hasten it than the conviction once
forced home upon the English train, that the
very vital force by which England keeps her
place is directly threatened with exhaustion.
