Coal Supply of England.

It has been feared tn t the coal mines
of Great Britain would DON be exhaus-
ted, and about five year ago the Gov
eminent of that cou. try appointed
Commissioners to inquire into the mat
ter. These Commissioners have recently
published the first volume of their
reports, which dispels the apprehen
sions entertained by alarmists. These
documents estimate the available
amount of coal in Great Britain at one
hundred and forty-six thousand four
hundred and eighty millions of tons,
which it is calculated, are sufficient to
supply the country for two hundred
and twenty six years. 1t is assumed
that four thousand feet is the extreme
depth down to which the coal mines
may be worked with a profit. Leaving
out veins less than a foot in thickness,
it is calculated that the unexhausted
coal in known mines amounts to co.
207, 100000 of tons. The veins lying
below four thousand feet, as far as they
have been explored, it is believed will
furnish 7,320,000,000 of tons in addition
The beds under the lower strata of
rocks, it is ~conjectured, will supply
Sc, 1878, 100000 of tons. A theory also
prevails that coal exists at a depth of
twelve hundred feet under the chalk
rocks of southern England, and this
view, although opposed by the late Sir
Roderick L. Murchison, has been
adopted by the member of the commits
sion who was appointed to examine the
locality. The report dwells with par
severity upon the waste in
mining coal-from ten to forty per cent,
of the gross product being totally

The SECRET OF CAPTIvATIoN.-Fea-
lures of Grecian mould, a welI-turned neck and
beautifully rounded arms. are no doubt very nice
things to have. and ladies who possess these
charms have reason to be thankful to Mother
Nature: yet. after all, the most captivating of all
complexion. This superlatiye fascination any
lady may secure By using HAeAN's MAaNoL1A
the present age. It differs from ali ordinary COS
metics in three most essential particulars. mas
much as it contains no injurious ingredients does
gent blooms" lotions" and powders"
eventually do. but produces a lasting loveliness
by improving the health of the skin. Under its
operatio the texture of the epidermis becomes
finer. and the surface soft as velvet and smooth
as porcelain. Features cannot be changed, but
compilations can. and it is quite certain that a
lady with no other charm than a fresh and rosy
will attract more admiration in COM
pany than her neighbor with a classic face but a
saIloW skin.-C0m.

Gen. Sherman as a Lawyer.
From the Lawrence Tribune.

III - AAiDuhCs
The "early Judiciary" of Kansas
transacted business on equity of prin-
ciples. A good many of the justices
were like necessity, they knew no law,
but they generally did justice about as
well as our courts.
A case was tried in 1857, in which
Gen. Sherman, who then resided on a
farm in what was then Calhoun county,
was employed as an attorney. The Gen
eral came in with an immense pile of
law books and his p~recedents well Sc
lected. He expected to try the case
before Squire Gibbs as a good lawyer
should, and had taken the case more
for the purpose of aiding a neighbor in
what he had been made to believe was
a good case, and to relieve him from in
Justice, than for any fee.
The jolly old justice came into court
The General said the plaintiff was ready.
A long, Link, lean looking genius who
stopped a string of cattle and log wagon
in the street, and stuck his whip with a
twelve foot lash behind the door, ap-
peared for the defense. The testimony
was heard, and Gen. Sherman delivered
his argument, and presented the law in
the case in an able manner as a good
lawyer would. He read from the COM
mon law of England, and cited cases in
the reports of several of the American
States. The bull-whacker followed him,
and ridiculed his presidents, and
secuted at his books. He said it was an
insult to the court to read from "The
COMMON law of England" and declared
that " if we were compelled to take any
of that aristocratic British law he
wanted "the very best Her Majesty
had, and none of her common law"
That was enough, the Justices face was
set, and the General lost his case. 1t
was the last he aver tried in Kansas.
He left, and Kansas lost a medium sort
of farmer-about equal to Horace Gree
ley-and the nation gained a good and
a great General.

Ship-building in Great Britain.

Great Britain is making good use OF
the advantage she has gained in the
business of ship-building. According
to the latest number of the London
Shipring Gazette she turned out of her
various building ards-in4SFo-9f 4- YES
sells, with an aggregate tonnage of 342,-
FOG tons. Of these 433 were steamers,
representing a carrying power of 1885,
GA tons, and ST. sailing vessels, of
1902 tons 499, representing $3.50
IONS of measurement, were built of
timber, and AS vessels, of 271, 760 tons
aggregate burden, we're of iron, while
30 vessels, of 12,416 tons, were of COM
posite manufacture. The increase owe
the previous year in the construction of
iron vessels as compared to that of
wooden ones was as five to one. The
largest number of vessels 005) were
built at Glasgow, 90 came from the ship
yards of Sunderland, II from Newcastle,
So from Liverpool, and the rest from
other ports. OF the whole number
built in Great Britain 70 steamers and
% sailing vessels passed into the hands
of foreigners. The commercial feet of
the United Kingdom and her colonies
now possesses a carrying capacity nearly
equal to that of all other nations COM
bined. 1t is a twofold source of wealth,
inasmuch as it aids and stimulates at
the same time the general commerce of
the kingdom and furnishes an indie
pendent and profitable branch of bust
ness in carrying the merchandise of
other countries to and from their vari-
markets. On the other hand the
United States, with vast stores of pro-
auctions for foreign markets, unlimited
and pluck am ng their capital
lists, and the most active and intelligent
bodysof working-men in TIE world, have
a merchant marine but little more than
for their own coasting trade.
The comparison is humiliating, to say
The least.

Messrs. }. N. Harris d Co.. Cincinnati. Ohio:
GENTLEMEN-I heard one of my customers speak in
such high terms of Aliens Lung Balsam to-day that /
thought I would write you the substance of his state
ments. He says his mother. who is now SIXTY PEARS OF
age, has SUFFERED with CONSUMPTION for SEVERAL
physicians, but never received any permanent benefit;
then she resorted to every kind of Cough and Lung
Balsam that could be procured for her, but all TO no
avail. She still grew worse, until she was confined to
her bed; and when she was seized with a paroxysm of
coughing, she would loss the potoer Of respiration, and
store breathing; end while she coughed SO hard she
could not expeo f. rate anything, and the family and
friends had give n up all hopos of her recovery. Her
son noticed the advertisement of Aliens Lung Balsam
in the Chyistdn Adcocdte, and they thought they would
procure and try it They commenced giving her the
hour until midnight; then she took another spell of
coughing, and expectorated n mouthful of dark. yell
low matter. which was something she had not been
able to do for some time. They continued to give her
the Balsam until morning, and then she began to ex-
pectorate freely, and within two hours she had ExPEC-
ToRATED THREE PINTs of mucous matter, which gave
her immediate relief; and since that time she has con-
tinued to improve. She now sits up all day, and can
walk about the house and take considerable outdoor
exercise. Her son bought more of the Balsam to-day

ALIENS LUNG BALsAM is without doubt the
BEST ExPECToRANT REMEDY ever offered to the afflicted
public. 1t contains no opium in any form, and its use
is harmless to the most delicate.
