The Nuptials of Mary Lincoln.

The preparations for Mrs. Lincoln's
wedding are we'll advanced aud the GER
emony is expected to be solemnized
early in December. The "happy dog"
as our readers have already been advis-
ed, is Count Schneidenbutzen, grand
chamberlain to the duke of Baden AL
though this title is rather imposing, it
does not in the counts own home i'm.
ply either an impressive weight of dig
nifty or purse nOticeably heavy. The
duke of Baden has small cash to spare
and none to bestOw on grand chamber
lains, who have little to do about his
court, and who "come cheap" in land
where every fourth Dutchman is
count or baron. Indeed a moderate
belly full of kraut and pumper nicIel
every Sunday is the only kind of "gov-
ernment pap" that ever distends the
shriveled skin of Schneidenbutzen, who
is an uncommonlyi sorry specimen of
the Teutonic nobility. The poor fell
low is said to be in ecstacles over his
good fortune in securing an heiress for
a wife, and to be especially joyous of
falling into the vacant shirts, socks,
breeches and shoes of the "late lamen-
ted" a large number of which have
not yet followed his coats and hats to
the junk shop. A pair of "the Mar
tyr's" trowsers is being cut down for
Standardization by Count Cotzenbrat-
zen, the grand dukes tailor, S. being
short-legged little fellow, while the late
A L., as everybody knows, strobe the
land on pair of natural stills.
1t will be a funny sight, not however
without some melancholy suggestive
ness, to behold poor Schneidenbutzen
leading "Mary, relict of Abraham Lin
coin, deceased" to the altar, clad In the
veritable habiliments of his illustrious
predecessor, his breeches shining with
autographic grease spots left by White
House dinners of the past-his little
feet shaking about loose in pair of III
inois boots a mile too big for them
and his tiny hands encased in pair
ofthose enormous yellow kids In which
the fist of the Martyr was said to bear
a striking resemblance to a canvassed
Cincinnati ham. Poor Titles! For our
part we don't begrudge him stitch Of
the sacred wardrobe. He will have
earned it all before he is done with
Mary L., aud as she only reserved after
her bereavement those garments which
nobody would buy, her new husband
will begin his matrimonial career by
falling into uncOmmoniy bad habits

Timely Hints on the Use of Coal.

The Scientific american, which is ex-
cellent authority on practical a. well as
scientific subjects, gives the following
hints on the use Of coal:
A common fault is to use too coarse
wood for kindling, and too much of it.
This, while 1t generally succeeds in
lighting the coal, leaves bed of ashes
below the coal which interferes with
the draught unless raked out-an oper-
alton which always retards the combus-
tion of ignited coal. The wood should
be of some rapidly burning variety
which gives quick and high heat, and
should be split fine. 1t should he so
placed that the coal will remain on the
top Of it, and not fall through the egrate,
leaving the kindling on the top of any
part Of the coal. The amount OF Kind
ling wood required depends much up
take is too large sized coal. A good
rule, where stoves or furnaces have q
good draught, is to use coal rs small as
can be used without from
its sitting too freely through the CRATE.
Crates should have their bars closely
set for stoves that are cleaned out daily,
and have fires lighted in them each
morning, while those which are inten-
ded to have fires kept in them contin.
uously for days or weeks will not admit
of fine CRATES, on account of the accum-
ulation of ashes and small "clinkers."
There is much difference in coal in re-
gard to the formation of clinkers. These
are nothing but vitrifed, or partially
Vitrifi0d, earthly matters, and only can
form when a high heat Is maintained;
they are apt to be troublesome when
there is too great draught. A coal
stove or furnace should be SO construct
ed that its draught should admit of be-
ing closed air tight,as nearly as it's poss-
ible to make it, and there ought always
to be provision made for top draught.
If, however, the draught of chimney
should be so strong that air i'm too great
quantities is drawn in at the bottom
when the dampers are closed, damper
in the pipe, which will close it partial
ly, must be employed, though in slug
gish chimneys such damper is apt to
force the gases of combustion into the
room, and therefore it ought always to
be avoided when possible.
The practice of putting ashes on the
top of fire to keep it, is very produc-
tive of eli mixers, although it answers
the purp ose very wellin other respects.
Damp p coal screenings are better, and
may be economically burned in this
manner. Ifa coal fire gets very low,
the quickest way to extinguish il is to
rake it at the bottom. To preserve fire
under such circumstances, little coal
should be placed on the fire, and when
it has caught more may be added, and
the raking deferred until it has got we'll
ignited. When the fire bricks have be-
come burdened with clinkers which
have fused and adhered, they may be
cleaned by throwing oyster or clam
shells into the fire box when the Are is
very hot, and allowing the fire to 20
out. The clinkers will generally cleave
of without the use OF much force the
next morning. From two quarts to one
half peck will be sufficient for most
stoves, and the operation can be repeat
ed if some of the clinkers still adhere.

COLUMBIA, November III, 1865.
The proceedings OF the Estate Labor Con-
vention," which adjourned yesterday, have
been furnished to THE NEWS both by TELEGRAPH h
and letter. The convention was not labor
convention, although many delegates were OF
the laboring classes and endeayOred 10 ad-
vance the interests Of the laborer. It was u
Radical political assemblage, and, apparently,
the design of the leaders in cOnvening 1t was
to accomplish political ends-to make the 10
borers generally, (under pretext of forward
ing their interests as laborcrs,) believe that to
the Radical party alone must they look for sup
port in movements to better their con dition.
The speakers at the very first meeting showed
that every ostensible object Of the convention
was not to benefit the laboring classes generally
but only the llborlng negroes. Stamford and
Wright, colored, and Z. j. Moses, took special
pains to address the a5sembage Is rcprc5en-
tives OF tho formerly ensGved race" who
instead of "avengng the wrongs" their "form-
er masters" had committed and were CON-
to ask Of thon fair compensation for their
work. All OF these and many more illusions
were made in regard to the old slavery and
the present freedom, whom in the convention
were several delegates representing, or pro-
tending to represent, bodies composed ex-
cllsively of white men. The opinion Of
ma ority O. the prominent Radicals, both white
an CO or,l, is that the convention was fall
ure-rsrl-d ID either az IN association to ben
eft III, labocers or the Radical party. That
