miles and treated with your Oil more than five
thousand patients, successfully. Many cases of

them had bafied skillfuI ply sicians of their To-
callties. Nor can you speak too highly Of its
curative properties in cases of Deafness or
Catarrh. never believed in any infallible rem
edy, but do believe toe Oil to be in,allible for
Catsrrh, and L defy any person to contradict it
after using it. l may further add, that for Kid
ney Disease, of any kind, that its approved med
ical qualities renders it the most efficient. Don't
be afraid to advertise in strong language. The
Oil will prove it.
Yours, very respectfully.

A correspondent of the Scientific
American writes:
1t Is a well known fact that coal.

duces in mining, breaking, screening.
and handling, an amount of dust, com
monty known as slack coal, amounting,
on an average, to fifty per cent. of the
coal production, thus causing a consid
cradle loss to the parties engaged in
mining, as but a small portion of this
coal dust, and that only of the btu
mlnous coal, is needed for blacksmith
purposes, while the anthracite lack is
easirely useless The immense uuan-
tlty of refuse coal must necessarily be
got out of the way, whether dumped
into stream to be carried off, or heap
ed on ground which has to be dearly
paid for. In the anthracite coal re
g1Ons, this immense amount of waste is
constantly being piled up around the
mines III vast, unsightly mounds, bury
ing the mining villages, and sadly en-
croachlng on the limits of many of the
chief towns. The amount of this waste
cannot be less than fifteen millions OF
tons, and every year adds to the rapid
ly increasing dirt bank.
In France, In Germany, in Belgium,
and in England, the slack of the btu
minous coal has been converted into

i Distinguished Enigrant,
From the Lynchburgh vrginian, June It'll.

From the Lynchburgh yirginian, June It'll
We announced yesterday the arrival
at Richmond of Hon. Mr. Broughan, of
England. On Monday evening this
gentleman came to Lynchburg, and
spent the day yesterday in the city,
stopping at the Norveu House. We
had the pleasure of an interview with
him and found him to be most atfa-
BILE, agreeable and intelligent gentle
man. NJ. Brougham, and nephew of
the late Henry Lord Brougham and
Van, the great English statesman and
writer. Until recently he has been III
the army, and held the rank of Major
Ill the regiment of which the Prince of
Brougham sold out his commission
three months ago for the purpose of
transferring his home to this country.
He Will leave this morning for south
western Virginia for the purpose of III
speeding the lands there with view to
Investment and permanent location. He
wishes to purchase lands for grazing
purposes, and believes from the inf0r-
nation he has that Pulaski county Will
suit him better than any other. 1t IS
his intention to go extensively into the
cattle business. Major Brougham is
much pleased with what he has seen of
Virginia, and thinks that he will like
his future home. If so, he expects to
be instrumental III inducing a number
of his countrymen to come to Virginia.
He will bring his servants and laborers
with him. Such gentlemen will al
ways find hearty and cordial welcome
to Virginia, and we hope that many
more will follow the example of the
gentleman now among us. 1t may not
be generally known that the Broughams
are related to Patrick Henry, General
Joseph E. Johnston, the Southhalls of
Albemarle, and many of the distinguish
ed citizens Of Virginia of the past and
present times.

The Agricultural Department esti-
mates the reduction of the cotton acre
age, as compared with last year, at
nearly fifteen per cent, equivalent to
one million and one third acres, the
sleaving present acreage from seven and
a half to eight acres. No estimate is
made, but it is assumed that the crop
cannot exceed three and half millions.
and may fall to three millions Under
combination of unfavorable circum-
stances, the condition of the growing
plant is below an average In nearly
every State. The spring has been I'M
usually wet and cold, retarding the
growth, causing many plants to turn
yellow and die, and obstructing cult
Walton to large extent Replanting
has hlled the vacant spaces of imper-
feet stands. The weather has recently
been more favorable, and it is not i'm
possible that an average condition ma
be attained by the commencement OF
the picking season. The condition of
cotton in 1869, year favored with an
abundant yield, was only little better
than the showing of June this year.
While the prospect is slightly improv-
ing, there is nothing in it of decisive
character

Starting Lesson for Boys Addicted TO
Practical Joking
From the Peoria Qll.) Review.

From the Peoria Qll.) Review.
1t s surprising how much misery is
CAUSED III this world by the thought
less fn, of some of the best hearted
peope in it. Often and often person,
whoR heart is running over with inno-
cent nerriment, will perpetrate Joke,
in a thoughtless moment, which will
cause some dear friend pain, and throw
clold over their lives forever These
rema'ks are caused by sad case which
happ.ned recently in this city. The
boys Of the Second Ward school had
raised a subscription and bought foot
ball. 1t was made of India rubber,
and vas inflated with air. A small brass
tube vas used to initiate it, through an
aperture in the side, which closes me-
chanieally when the tube is withdrawn.
A day or two ago, the boys were resting
from their play, and examining their
bali, when one of them, a pale,
delicate looking, philosophical lit
tie fellow, offered to bet that
he could put the ball in his mouth.
They all laughed at the idea, as the
ball was as big as his head, he per-
sisted, and they took up his bet. He
very quietly inserted the tube, ex-
hausted the air, and rolling the ball
tightly up in small compass, easily
placed it in his mouth, to the great as
tonishment of his companions While
they gazed, one of them, filled with
mischief, inserted the tube into the
ball, which was just visible, and
inflated the football to its fullest
extent The boys screamed with laugh
ter at the odd appearance of their puny
playfellow, and .in their boisterous
appreciation of the joke, they lost the
key +! And now, for that piece o
thoughtless merriment, that poor little
bo must drag on through his life will
face the size of peck measure, anG
no place to put his bread and butter
IN. Boys you cannot be too careful
about playing even what may seem t.
be the most innocent joke on your play
fellows.
