We notice in yesterdays Press and Herald,
a report OF an interview between the brilliant
man of its staff and Mr.. Levy, of South Caro-
lima, in which this latterlgentlcman is reported
as giving it as his opinion that our Coal Creek
coal is better 52r making gas than Anthracite
coal. Indeed lFHe is reported as saying that he
has been making gas at Columbia, South Caro-
lima, out of Philadelphia Anthracite coal. OF
course he never said any thing of the kind, or il
he did he is an original gas man. 1t may be
possible to get particle of gas out Of Anthra-
cite coal, but the idea that it is used to any
tent for making gas is original with the big
organ" Philadelphia gas works get their coal
from great distance. Why do that, if their
Anthracite coal is to be compared to ours? We
have good coal for gas and it is vilely SANDER
ing it to talk about it being better than Anthra-
cite coal.
We have no doubt the Press and Herald could
make gas out of Anthracite coal; it makes it
out Of nothing. 1t is heavy on the gas and we
are not surprised it can illuminate the world
on that subject. Gas can be made out of good
many substances, and some can doubtless be
abstracted from Anthracite coal, but we hope
for the reputation of our "black diamonds il
wont talk any more about its being some better
thanIAnthraCite.

something rotten in Denmark When in the

foot-paths of a Legislature that failed to do any

unnecessary changes and gerrymander to the

As the time for burning coal has come, and
most people want to economist rs much as pos
sible, the advice of the London Spectator might
be of some practical benefit: The most practical
suggestion yet made toward economy of coal
seems to be the use of solid bottoms in ordinary
frc-grates 1t is proved that in any fireplace
not excessively small plate of iron placed up
on the CRATE will halve the consumption of coal,
reduce tho smoke, and leave a cheerful, free
burning fire. Quite sufficient air enters through
the bars, no poking is necessary and the fire
never goes out till the coal is consumed. Any
householder can try this experiment, and re-
duce his coal bills say thirty per cent. at the
cost of a shilling.

Death of Two EstimabIe Ladies'.

The circumstances attending the death of
Mrs. Katie Welcker McNutt and Mrs Eliza
Morgan Ault, which are recorded elsewhere,
are peculiarly touching and cast more than
ordinary sadness over the households from
whose circles they have been taken.
On the threshold of wOmanhood, and in the
morning of life they were called to life eternal.
When the future promised the fullest fIuition of
happiness on earth they were taken ere
they had scarce realized the joys of motherhood,
leaving each tender babe.
Related by the ties of consanguinity they
were also friends and schoolmates. They com
menced their married life almost simultaneous
ly, and after brief enjoyment of welded bliss
yielded their livos III ushering into exist
ence the first pledges of love, whose coming
was looked forward to with emotions that only
a mother can know, and whose reluctance in
sundering the dearest and tenderest tie that
bound them to earth can be only family imag-
ined. But Death is no respecter of persons and
the wings of his dread messenger hover alike
over the palace and humble cot and all must
obey his summons
The stricken husbands and motherless babes,
who will forever miss mothers loving care,
have the sincere coincidence of the community
in their sad bereavement, and may He who
'tempers the wind to the shorn lamb" succor
and sustain them in this the hour of their al
