South American Coal Mines.

Coal exists at various localities along
the Pacific coast, from Russian America to
Patagonia, and is now mined TO a limited
extent in Vancouvar's Island, Washington
Territory, Oregon, California, at Panama
in New Granada, and at the towns of Lota,
Lotilla, and Coronel in Chill. But all
these Goals are of later date than the true
Carboniferous, and appear to be the pro-
duction of periods from the Jurassic to the
Tertiary. They are of all grades Of the
bitumnous class, from the mineral pitch,
or asphaltum, to the naturalscoke. The
veins or seams arc generally thin and un-
reliable, and subject TO the imperfcctions
natural to all Goals of recent formations.
But, under present circumstances, these
deposits of coal are invaluable to the COM
merce of the Pacific.
The coal hines of Panama are worked
by several English and American compan-
les, almost exclusively for the use of the
ocean steamers of the Pacific. The coal is
of a soft, bituminous character, and is much
inferior to the English and our Cumberland
steam Goals.
Though coal exists at intervals along
the entire Pacific coast, it is only worked
at two prominent points south of Cali
fornia, viz, Panama, and at the Chlian
mines in the northern portion of Arauca-
MA The mines in Chill are located at the
towns or bays o Lota Lolita, and Coronel
which lie about 500 miles north of ValdTv-
ia. The coal area is comparatively exten.
siye, but the seams are generally thin and
frequently terminating abruptly. Their
dip is irregular or undulating, and mining
operations are conducted by both shaft and
drift. A considerable coal trade is done
here, and sailing vessels are constantly
being laden for various ports on the Pa
cilic. and passing steamers generally sup
ply themselves here. The coal is soft, and
burns rapidly with great fame, but leaves
only moderate residum, and makes no
clinker.- Scientific Aaaeriean.

Christmas.

The grand old time, celebrated by saints,
martyrs and savans of old. and sung in no.
BILE verse by poets and musicians for near
two thousand years, has again returned.
1t has come and gone again.
Christmas that one word contains more
meaning, more joy, and moro religion than
some volumes. How it carries us back
back to our chidhood--for childhood is the
time to enjoy holidays-when the time was
looked forward to with longing and impa-
tience for weeks, and when the festivities
and gayeties were enjoyed with such un-
alloyed pleasure.
1t is with pride that Ne are able to state
that Christmas is more appropriately OBJ
served, and more strictly attended to in a
community like ours than in almost any
other in the country. For weeks our mu-
sicans practice anthems and carols appro-
pirate for the occasion, and on Christmas
day, large and attentive audience is inva-
riably collected to hear the execution OF
them, which cannot be surpassed, and we
might add, is not equalled in the country.
The sermon is appropriate to the occasion,
and is listened to with marked attention,
by an unusually large audience, many oi
whom, to their shame be it said, have not
been inside the church walls since the Goth
of last December. The dinner however is
the crowning glory of the day, and is, we
believe, looked forward to and enjoyed
more than either the sermon or the Christ
mas carols, for we believe our people have
weakness for high living at such times
if weakness it can be called, and if the
roast turkey, the plum pudding, and a
plentiful supply of Christmas cake is not
set before them a. this time, they are very
apt to cry
sob the roast beef of old England"
and long for the groaning tables Of the old
country.

Rights of American Citizens.

A meeting was held at Milwaukee on
Saturday last to protest against the action
of foreign governments in violating the
rights of naturalzed citizens. A number
of sensible addresses were delivered by
such men as J E. Arnold, Mat. II. Carpen-
ter, and others, advocating action by our
government to secure the recognition OF
the right Of voluntary expatriaton among
nations. At the close Of the addresses the
following resolutions were adopted
Resoloed, That it is the duty Of the Uni
ted States to declare especially the rights
and duties of its citizens temporarily So
iourning in foreign countries and there
after to regard any intentional violation oil
such rights by foreign countries as cause
Of acar.
Rese1Ued, That expatriation is one of the
inalienable rights of man; and from the
time when any foreign citizen or subject
voluntarily renounces his former allegiance
and becomes domiciled in this country
with the intention in good faith to become
citizen Of the United States, he should
be regarded, during the continuance OF
such domicile as invested with our nation.
al character and entitled to the protection
of our Government.
Resslred, That no distinction should be
tolerated between native born and duly
naturalized citizens OF the United States in
regard to immunities and privileges in for
| eign countries That naturalized citizen
of the United States, temporarily sojourn
ing in the dominions of his former sove
reign, can only be compelled to enter the
military service or otherwise support the
government of such former sovereign tc
the same extent and under the same cir
cumstances as might be required of a ma
tive born American citizen, thus found in
such foreign country.
Resotred, That copies of these resolu
tons, signed by the president and secreta
ry of this meeting, be transmitted to the
| President of the United States, to the Sec
retary of State of the United States and tc
each of our Senators and Representatives

our village possesses over Mineral Point,
they might form some kind Of an idea of

Asg% 1t is a pleasure to note that the
thriving village Of Arena has greatly i'm
proved during the last year. 1t is now
quite an important business point. 1t is
pretty generally known throughout the
county that it is steadier market, and a
more uniform price is given the year round
for farmers produce of all kinds than at
Mineral Point. Quite number of build
ings have been erected during the past
summer. and the place is getting to be an
important point in the county. Another
improvement we are glad to note, the grog
shops in that village are not as plentiful as
formerly, and the quantity of poor whis-
key drank at that place has diminished
materially within the year.
