The Coal Fields of England.

In recent lecture by geologist engaged
on the Royal Co ComyuissiOn, the Opin-
ion was expressed that the coal fields Of
England had originally been joined togeth-
er in one large area, but that by various
changes, such n downthrow, the varioua
fields had been separated The interven-
ing spaces, it was conjectured, covered
coal, which, however, was buried 20 deep
that it could not be worked with profit.
II was ascertained that considerably more
coal lay concealed at workable depths than
appeared in the fields. The South Stat
fordshire field, il was asserted, contained
8, 2O1, ,672, 2l6 tons of coal the Warwick.
shire, 45S, 652, TIA tons, and the Leicester
Ahire, 1886, 799, 734 tons, making . total Of
4, 497 124, 664 tons. Underneath the Per
miAn strata Of rock Of the above fields il
Ia estimated that there are to be sound II,
664 millions Of tons Of coal.

In this way aud about such points,
Mr. Greeley talked for some time, on
the interesting occasion. found that,
even under the notable circumstances OF
the moment, he was as frank and fluent
rs ever, and showed forth. without con-
cealment, the natural genuineness, which
is his most attractive characteristic.
Several other people presented them
selves to Mr.. Greeley during this brief
interview. They were all, of course, en-
thusiastic about the nomination. He re-
ceived everybody with warmth and with
ripping smiles, displaying constantly
his joy over the news he had just re-
ceived, and which had cut short his work

1t may be worth while to say. for the
sake of those who think Mr.. Greeley
dresses clumsily and badly, that he was
clothed in his ordinary lsuit Of black
cloth, with a swallOw-tail coat; that he
had polished boots as usual. and that his
felt hat lay on the desk at which he had
been writing.

The railroad In Colorado, known as

The railroad In Colorado, known as
tho Denver narrow-gauge road, Is an
instance Of what Is known rs the
"narrow-gauge system" successfully
applied. But the country Is nearly q
desert; the road-bed Is sandy and
level; the traffic is not so great that
transhipment Il troublesome; there
are no engineering difficulties in tho
way, and so tho narrow gauge Of three
feet Is considered 4 success. The road,
rs built from Cheyenne to Denver. Is
about seventy miles in length, but as
projected there are still eight hundred
and fifty miles to DO constructed,
Whether the remaining portion will
DO completed OF not Is probleInatical.
The cost so far has been 81, 500 pei
mile. It would seem a though the
now plan might be made to work well
on short roads and branches, but on
main routes 1t destroys a continuous
connection. and would undoubtedly
often cause vexatious delays to ship
pers. A uniform gauge Is essential
for rapid transit, and a reduction of
dead weight for cheap transit. 1t Is
still, perhaps, unsettled as to which Of
these two requisites is the most i'm
portant-to get goods quickly to mar
ket or to get them there cheaply.
There ought to be no obstacle to y COM
bination Of both elements.

Tho Late Judge Morrison-Tributo
Of Respect to His Memory death
Of His Wife.

From tho San Francisco Alta, Jan. SAL
The Christmas vacation Of the Courts
closed yesterday, except the Fourth
District Court, which was adjourned
until to-day. When they opened yes
terday morning, the death Of Judge
Murray Morrison, Of the Seventeenth
judicial District, was announced In
each, and they adjourned In respect to
tho memory Of the deceased. In each
case remarks euloglstic Of the charac.
ter Of the deceased were made by
prominent members of the bar and by
the Courts. In the United States Cir
| cult Court the death of Judge Morri-
son was announced by George Bar
| stow, and tho Court adjourned. In
connection with the tribute Of respect
paid to the memory Of Judge Nor
| rison, It is painful to have to record
the death of his widow five days after
he was called away from this world.
Mrs. Morrison was a most estlmable
lady, of brilliant attachments, and the
daughter Of an old and highly respect
ed pioneer. Immediately before the
demise of her husband sho appeared
to be In good health, and to suffer only
from the melancholy position In which
she was placed. She accompanied his
remains to their final resting place,
but from the moment she saw them
consigned to the tomb, she appeared
to have been plunged ir~retrieyably
into the most terrible grief and suffer-
Ing. On the fifth day after his death,
Mrs. Morrison announced to her friends
and relatives that she could not live
another day. She remained in her
bedroom and could not be induced to
leave 1t. She appeared 20 have had n
premonitlon of death. and acted upon
Il. She asked to have a priest sent for,
and, in obedience to her desire, he was
called to the house. When he arrived,
seeing her apparently healthy condi-
ton, and believing that depression of
spirits had caused her strange falling,
,,c refused at first to administer tho
lust rites Of the church. But she IN
sisted that he should do so, assuring
him mt the same time that she would
die before morning. The priest ad-
ministered the last rites and left, and
before morning Mrs. Morrison's spirit
hsd followed her husbands to that
world beyond the grave where grief
and sorrow are unknown. The mel
archoly affair cast additional gloom
and sorrow over tho friends Of both;
but, as II to fill the cup Of bitterness
to overlooking, Mrs. Morrison's mother
has sunk under this sudden and uncx-
pected shock, and Is not expected to
survive. The adags that one trouble
seldom comes alone is TOO painfully
verified In this Instance.

GEESE on A DRUNK.-Tom Mosely,

Of the voracious fowls, IS he relates,
he poured whisky over n quantity oil
wheat until 1t had absorbed about a
gallon; he then scattered the wheat
over his fields and awaited the result.
The geese came in flocks, they alighted
and devoured the wheat, and In little
while the fields were filled with
drunken geese, tumbling about and
lighting like all possessed. Now was
tile time for the farmer, and with a
club he killed no less than six hundred
Of the feathered bacchanals. Mr..
Mosely further relates that In the eve.
ming he observed q long string Of the
survivors ranged along the edge Of the
slough, ripping and swearing and
hauling one another up to drink, while
an old bald-headed gander stood out
in the water in the attitude Of bar
keeper.-Odkland Nens.

affray between II. Mannheim, the well

ness in Manheim's establishment.
Knives and pistols were freely and Wig
orously used by both parties to the diff
iiculty. Both men were pretty scrl-
ously though not dangerously wound
cd. Manheim received an ugly cut
across the left eye, extending several
inches down the cheek bone. The pupil
of the eye was only saved from being
slashcd open by the protrudlng brow

Ii was split open ; though 1t Is be-
loved that the eye can be saved with

during the row, which lasted only n
few seeonds.-Emeka Sentinel, 3lst.

road, was the blockade for several
days Of the Northwestern Constrtic-

twenty miles east of Fargo, on tho
Rcd River.
Several gentlemen connected with
the company, including Dorrillus Nor
.rison, Mr.. Canda and Others, aud DR..
Thayer. the medical superintendent,
who had been to Fargo and beyond on
business, found their a and locomo-
tive, after n sleigh ride Of some twenty
miles, stuck fast In a cut filled in with
a heavy snow drift. they had no
snow plows, and no means of cutting
their way through the drift, and all
they could do was to wait till they
were released from their predicament
by the locomotive coming next. But
In tile meantime, tho snow storm,
which in the early part OF last week
had swept over the whole line Of the
Northern Pacific, had established n
snow blockade over q large part of the
liue |; but by the indefatlgable energy
of Superintendent Hubart, the track
was at last cleared OF Its distractions,
and the snow-bound prisoners Of the
| Northwestern Construction Company's
chr were on Thursday night extrlcatcd
after an imprisonment Of seventy
two hours. Fortunately this elegant
car, In addition to its many comforts
BILE appointments for sleeping. was
abundantly supplied with provisions
and cooking apparatus, and very luck
ily for them there was nm abundance
| of railroad ties distributed along the
track where they were stuck, which
furnished them with plenty OF fuel:
Under these circumstances they passed
the time very comfortably indeed.
But for this circumstance Of an ample
supply of fuel It Is doubtful II they
could have escaped very severe freez-
ing, aud It Is not impossible that the
whole party might have frozen to
death, a. the weather was intensely
cold, the thermometer running down
to over thirty degrees below zero.
Their locomotive was useless, even II
the track had been clear, for want OF
water. the intense cold having reduced
the available water supply to the con-
dition Of solid ice. The whole track,
however, was cleared by Thursday
evening, and the party reached the
Junction.-St. Paul Press, Dec. 30h.

thinks that there is not n better climate
upon the face Of the earth than that oil
this State for making wine. He pro-
poses to make claret wine here far
superior to the sc-cai'ed French claret,
imported from Europe. He has made
some this year much stronger, and a
better favored article, than any wine
imported from France or elsewhere.
Mr.. Pascal has tried the experiment
