Coal in London,

In the beginning of the fourteenth
century the London brewers aud smiths
finding the high price Of wood pressing
hardly upon their returns, resolved to
make some experiments with coal but
Immediately an outcry was raised
against them by persons living near the
breweries aud forges, the King was pc
titioned, and a law was passed pro-
hibitiDg the burning of coal within
the city. Those who tried the new
fuel, however, found that it was so
much superior to wood that they per-
sisted in its use. But SO determined
was the government to suppress what
was regarded as an intolerable nuis-
auce, that law was passed making
the burning of coal in London a capi-
tai offence; and it is recorded that one
man at least was executed under that
law. As contrast to these facts, we
may here mention that the London of
the present day consumes annually be-
tween six and seven million tons of
the once despised and rejected min
erst.

The New York World and its
Editors.

The Rochester Democrat says: Some
time ago we happened to be for several
days in the same house with one of the
writers for the World, and found him
to be very clever fellow and good
Republican. In reply to remark of
ours upon the dissonsnce of his politi-
cal principles and those of the Journal
to which he was attached, he said that
scarcely any of the World editors were
Democrats at heart. They conducted
the journal on Democratic principles,
just as lawyer defended a criminal
for money. They found a numerous
body of Democratic clients in and
around New York ssdly in want of an
advocate-witbout anybody to state
their case in a proper manner, or to
plead for them before the bar of pub
lie opinion. They got hold of the
World, and, on speculation, made it a
Democratic organ, and did the best
they could to get verdict for their
client. But they did not, of course,
believe all they said in his behalf, any
more than criminal lawyer believes
all he says when trying to save rascal
from the gallows or the prison.

A Curious Clock.

Many years ago there was a clock
made by one Droz, mechanic of Ge-
neva, which was renowned for its in
genious construction. The clock was
so made as to be capable of performing
the following movements: There was
on it a negro, shepherd and dog.
When the clock struck, the shepherd
played Rix tunes on his flute, and the
dog approached and fawned upon him.
The clock was exhibited to the King of
Spain, who was greatly delighted with
it. The gentleness of the dog is his
least merit" said the inventor. !" If
your majesty touch one of the apples
which you see in the shepherds bask-
ct, you will admire the fidelity Of the
animal. The king took an apple, and
the dog flew at his hand and barked so
loud that the kings dog, which was in
the same room during the exhibition,
began to bark also, at which supersti-
tious courtiers, thinking it was an affair
of witchcrsft, hastily left the room,
crossing themselves as they went. Hsv-
ing desired the Minister of Marine, who
was the only one who dared to stay
behind, to ask what o'clock it was, the
Minister asked but received no reply.
Droz then observed that the negro had
not yet learned the Spanish, upon
which the negro repeated the question
in French, and the black Immediately
answered him. At this new prodigy
the frmness of the Minister forsook
him, and he retreated precipitately, de-
claring that it mnst be the work of a
supernatural being. 1t is probable
that in the performance of these tricks,
Droz touched certain parts in the me-
ebanism, although it is not mentioned
in any account of his clocks.

Keen The RirthdaHs.

Keep the birthdays religiously. They
belong exclusively to, and are treasured
among, the sweetest memories at home.
Do not let anything prevent some to-
ken, be it ever so light, to show that it
is remembered. Birthdays are great,
even TO children. For one day they
feel that for once they are heroes
The special pudding is made expressly
for them; new jacket, or trowsers
with pockets, Cr the first pair Of boots
are Gonned; and big brothers and sis
ters sink into insignifcance beside 'lit-
tie Charlie, who is six to-day, and is
soon going to be man. Fathers,
who have half dozen little ones to care
for, are apt to neglect birthdays; they
come too often, sometimes when they
are busy, and sometimes when they
are nervous; but if they only knew
how much such souvenirs are cherish
ed by the children, years after, they
would never permit any cause to step
between them and a parents privilege.

Onions and Epidemics.

In the spring of ls49 l was in charge
of one hundred men on shipbosrd,
with the cholera among the men. We
had onions, which a number of the
men ate freely. Those who did so
we're soon attacked, and nearly all died.
AS soon as l made this discovery their
use was forbidden. After mature re-
lection / came to the conclusion that
onions should never be eaten during
the prevalence of epidenics, for the
reason that they absorb the virus and
communicate the disease, aud that the
proper use for them is sliced and placed
in the sick room, and replaced with
fresh. ones every few hours. 1t is a
well established fact that onions will
extract the poison Of snakes; this | per-
sonally know. Some kinds of mud
will do the same. Onions placed in a
room where there is small pox will
blister, and decomposs with great ra-
pidly; not only SO. but will prevent the
spread Of the disease. | think as a

what 1t Costs 60 Run a state .

= The Columbus correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Gazette gives the following
statistics of expenses incurred by the
State for hired help:"
For those of your readers who aspire
to official positions in the State, the fol-
lowing facts may have some interest:
The State Legislature consists of ZAP
members, of whom 81 are in the SEN
ate and lo6 in the House; salary IS
per day each. There are II clerks and
sergeant-st-arms who receive the same
pay as members; 10 pages, who re-
ceiye 81 per day each Stationery and
printing costs about 5000 per day, ma
king the aggregate expenses OF the
Legislature about $1,000 per day. The
Governor receives a salary Of $1,000
per year; Lieutenant Governor $500;
Secretary of State 81, 600 and perqui-
sites; Auditor and Treasurer $4,000
each; Comptroller SI700; School Com
missioner $1,000; Attorney General
$1,000; Railroad Commissioner "a, 900;
Governors Private Secretary $500 and
perquisites; State and Law Librarians,
aud Superintendent of the State House
Sl,5O0 each. In the various State de-
-partments there are about twenty-five
clerks, whose salaries range from $500
to $500 year. The only officer Oh
the Governors staff who receives pay
is the Adjutant General. His salary is
$4,000 per annum. The most insigni-
fcant-looking salary Of all is the Lieu
tenant Governors. 1T must be remem-
bered, however, that be is only on &c
tual duty while the Legislature is in
session, when he serves as President Of
the Senate The Attorney Generals
salary is ths smallest paid by the State,
taking into the account the ability re-
quired for that Office. A sixteen hun
drep dollar elerkship here in Columbus
is worth just about as much as an eight
hundred dollar business in respeeta-
bic country town, a fact which clerical
aspirants would do well to put in their
pipes and smoke.

A Late Rreakfast,

A sunshine temper is one of Gods
best gifts, aud its worth is often proved
in the family when domestic arrange
ments are out Of joint, as in the follow
ing instance: 81 's
Breakfast was late at Mr.. Smiles
house. ono fine autumnal morning, an
unusual Occurrences; but you know that
there are some hours, even in the best
regulated households, when things
seem to go wrong. The principal
trouble was that Bridget was sick that
morning, aud when Mrs. Smiles came
down, of course there was no fire in
the kitchen, and the table was not set,
but Bridget lay tossing and moaning
with a violent sick headache.
81 couldn't stand to get dressed,
ma'am, let alone make the fire, for Pm
kilt entirely with the pain in my head"
"Pll see to the breakfast" said CHEEKY
little Mrs. Smiles, "when Pve brought
you up some medicine"
So she administered the dose, and
then set about her task. But the fire
would smoke that morning, and the
baby woke and cried. -. .
" Nelson" she called to her hus-
band, bridget is sick, and ] am busy
can you attend to baby?"
"With pleasure" answered strong,
kind voice from up stairs, and the pitt
full cries soon ceased.
Harry was in the shed splitting
wood, Mr.. Smiles came in, throwing
off his coat. "There, my boy, III
finish this job; you run in and see if
you can set the table something like
the usual pattern"
Why, father, you said you had to
be early at the store to-dsy, and should
not have time to come out here" e
"Yes, | know; but Bridget is sick,
and mother is hard at work getting
breakfast, and it cannot be helped this
morning, Harry" he added, calling
him back, "don't say anything about
that to mother. It's no use worrying
nef oUOuJ LnaJ now.
Harry smiled and nodded combre-
bensiou, and was soon experimenting
upon setting the table.
"Pshaw these are the supper plates
I'm sure [ don't know fathers napkin
ring from mothers. There! | forgot
the butter-knife +" and so on.
Meanwhile Mr.. Smiles split his wood
industriously, thinking to himself, 81
suppose | might have gone to the
store without waiting for breakfast; ;
but then that would have troubled
Jenny; and what can one do better
with his morning than to make his
wife comfortable, even though he loses
a customer by it for once! What's
the good of customers, or the money
they bring, but Just to buy comfort,
which is poor economy to buy at the
price of discomfort"
The bell rang and he went in.
"What q nice little breakfast you have
made us!" he exclaimed. sand boys
can SET tables, can't they, Harryi"
So there was cheerful, even a mer-
ry meal, an hour later than usual, in
Mr.. Smiles house, and then he went
away, leaving glsam of sunshine
behind him 10 the hearts at home,

Danger Ahead.

AS might be expected the semi
rebel and Democratic papers attempt
to ridicule the idea that danger is to
be apprehended from the secret order
in the South known as the Ku-Klux
Klan. This is the usual dodge when
anything dastardly or diabolicsl ia to
DO done. When the internal attempt
TO fire the hotels in New York was
made, the New York Daily News ard
other rebel papers made light Of the
matter, and endeayored TO show that
the whole thing WIS joke; when Of.
fetal information was given Of the
contemplated raids from Canada upon
our northern frontier, these same per-
sons ridiculed those who furnished
the information; and when intimstions
were given that an attempt wenld be
made on the life Of President Lincoln.
the Copperhesd press asserted and IN.
sisted that the idea wss simply ab-
sard. And SO now, when real danger
is to be apprebended, We End the same

How Ben. Wade Biuffed "a
FiFa-RRter.

Senator Wade inaugurated the prac-
tice of setting up Northern backbone
in the Senate. Soon after taking his
seat he witnessed one Of those scenes so
common in the Senate in those days.
A Southern fire-eater made an attack
on Northern Senator, and Wade was
amazed and disguised at the cringing,
cowardly way in which the Northern
man bore the taunts aud insults of the
hot-headed Southerner. AS no allu-
sion was made to himself or the SEN
ate, Mr. Wade sat still; but when the
Senate adjourned, he said, openly, if
ever Southern Senatoc. made such an
attack on him or his State while he sat
upon1that floor, he would brand him as
"a liar This coming to the ears of the
Southern men, a Senator took occasion
to pointedly speak, few days after
wards, of Ohio and her people as ne
gro thieves. Instantly Mr.. Wade sprung
to his feet and pronounced the Senator
"a liar. The Southern Senators were
thunder-struck, and gathered around
their champion, while the Northern
men grouped about Wade. A feeler
was put out from the Southern side,
looking to retraction. but Mr.. Wade re-
torted in his peculiar style, and de-
msnded an apology for the insult offer
ed himself aud the people he repre-
sented. The matter thus closed, and a
fight was looked on as certain. The
next day a gentleman called on the
Senator from Ohio, aud asked the usual
question touching his acknowledge
ment' of the code. y-..re- t n,
81 am here" he responded, /" in a
double capacity. | represent The State
Of Ohio, and l represent Ben. Wade.
As Senator | auh opposed to dueling,
but as Ben Wade [ recognize the CODE"
"My friend feels aggrieved," said the
gentleman, at what you said in the
Senate yesterday, and will ask for an
apology or satisfaction"
81 was somewhat embarrassed,
continued Senator Wade, "by my po.
sition yesterday, as | have some respect
for the chamber | now take this OPP
portunity to say what L then thought,
and you will, if yol please, repeat it.
Your friend is a foul-mouthed old
blackguard. 'a-
Certainly, Senator Wade, you do
not wish me to convey such a message
as thatas .aea1
Most undoubtedly | do; and will
tell you for your own benefit that this
friend of yours will never notice it I
will not be asked for either retraction,
explanation or fight
Next morning Mr., Wade came into
the Senate, aud proceeding 10 his seat,
deliberately drew from updsr his coat
two large pistols, aad unlocking his
desk laid them inside. The Southern
men looked on in silence, while the
Northern members anjoyed to the full
est extent the fre-eaters' surprise at tie
proceedings of-the plucky Ohio S5uai
tor. No further notice was taken of
the affair Of the day before. Wade was
not challenged, but ever afterwards
treated with the utmost politeness and
consideration BY the Senator who had
so insultiugly attacked him.

Senator Yates, of Illinois, is said to
be so completely given over to drunken
ness that he has practically ceased to
be a member of the Z. :. Senate. The
humiliatiug facts are set forth by the
Chicago Journal as follows;
He is intoxicated nearly all the time.
day and night, and unless he changes
his course soon, OF RESIGNS, tie Senate
will expel him. He has not been in
his seat once since the opening Of the
impeachment trial, and ON several oc-
casions his vote wonld have decided
important questions The statement Of
these. painful facts will sadGen many Of
the friends OF the once beloved and
honored Governor Yates, who, it is now
evident, has lost all self-respect, as well
as the respect which is due 70 his con-
stituents, and to the body Of which he
is a member. If he viii not resign, the
sooner he is expelled the better. Hi
nois must be fully represented in the
Senate when the final vote on the iu-
peachmeDt trial is given. The present
is no time to trifle With the patience Of
tho Senate. and the people Of Illinois
are in no temper to justify, encourage
or tolerate the -disgracefuI course Of
drunkard ia public office of trust and
responsibility.
