Of little value, and not deserving serious
attention but France exported to Eng

eggs as we did of bacon and ham to all

divides but three and half acres to each
inhabitant, while ours divides more than
so.
In all her industries, in fact, France
proves more than match for us, as we'll
as in agriculture. We beat her in cotton
and tobacco and there we rest. For the
year 1868 her imports were $4,000, 900,
and her exports 1851 100000; while, for
the same year, the imports of the United
States were 1881 100000 and the exports
$441 100000, of which $72,OOO,000 was

DEATH IN THE Coal MINES. sta

DEATH IN THE Coal MINES. The sta
sistics furnished by the Pennsylvania
mine inspectors IL the anthracite regior
are almost complete for 1871. The death
record in these statistics is startling, and
shows % total Of 272 men killed outright
and 622 Injured by accidents during the
year. These unfortunate men left, on a
close estimate, $50 widows, and between
500 and 900 orphan children. The Scran-
ton Republican makes an climate OF the
accidents, and believes it can place the
responsibility where it belongs. About
one-third of the whole NUMBER OF the
killed, it says, met their death on account
of the neglect of operators to make second
openings to their mines Another third
were killed by the explosion of gases,
which would have been averted if the
law requiring every mine to be examined
by an experienced MINER with safety
lamp before the workmen enter it had
been complied with About one-sixth
lost their lives through their mere negi-
gence innot paying sufficient attention to
the roof OF the mine and otherwise, while
the remaining one-sixth of the whole
number were killed by really unforeseen
and unavoidable accidents.

10 BE SNUFFED OUT.-Thc New York
Times, in a recent issue, says: A decidedly
new sensation is promised us on the 10Th
of next August. The famous NJ. Planta.
mour, Professor of Astronomy at Geneva
bias discovered new comet which. il ia
declared, exceeds in size any similar
meteor hitherto known of. By the
elaborate calculations of this learned oh
server, the new comet is dartlng directly
toward our globe with prodigious v,loci-
ty, and will come into collision with it on
the 18th of August, as aforesaid. The
approach of the terrific object will be
heralded by an extraordinary degree of
heat and the catastrophe cannot possibly
be avoided unless by DETECTION, not
now to BIS prognosticated, produced bv
the comet lmpinging on the attractive
scope of some heavenly body. We believe
that this alarming prophecy corresponds
with one OF Dr. Cummings more recent
announcements; and, if so, science and
religioD--or one eccentric representative
Of twill for once and unequivocally be
in accord. The inhabitants of the earth
will have at least this consolation. that
after the plantamcur comet comes within
the range of telescope observation. and
becomes visible to the naked eye, there
will yet be a long time for them to set
their houses in order and prepare for the
eternal smash that must ensue''

lowing laugHabIe mistake Of lady. In
the southern section of the city, yesterday
afternoon about dusk, lady was greatly
annoyed by urcbins ringing her door bell
and who, taking to their heels, enjoyed
the joke immensely when she answered
the summons. Several times she came
down stairs, but always too late to effect
the capture of one. At last she planned
"a scheme. She stood at the head of the
steps and awaited their coming. Pretty
soon step was heard on the porch, and
in moment the bell was giving Wig
orous jerk. I seen you, yoa little,
rascal !" the lady said, and, rushing
down stairs, caught the unrcsisting figure
by the coat collar and gave him a good
shaking. When her strength was nearly
exhausted, and she was hoarse with excite
ment, she looked into the face Of the OBJ
ject of her wrath, and discovered, t.
her intense horror, that It was the di-
mlnutive minister, of her church, who
was looking as red in the face, to use her

planation made the matter all right, and
