Kingdom is 90, 207 900, 900 tons, while So,
273,Ooo, 900 tons are supposed to exist at
workable depths under the new permian
red sandstone, and other uperincumbent
strata, making an aggregate Of l56,
000, 900 tons, Taking as basis the calcu-
iations of the reviewer, and supposing the
recent rate of consumption to continue,
absolute exhaustion would be reached in
about 100 years, but practically in about
half that time.
The writer in the Review takes the
alarming ground, to England, that that
country must begin to import coal and
mentions particularly as "thc greatest re-
source in the future the United States, to
which, he confesses, the commercial SUI
premacy of England viii then pass. He
thus contrasts the case of England with
that of our country:
That vast region has a present population
of not much more than 80, 900, 600, for the CEN
sus of 1870 returned it as 3S,55S 81. Last
year according to recent advice the total
production of coal in the States was 4 ,49l :,
1856 tons. In 1865 the total production in the
United States was ii 1924 102 tons, and of an
thracite. II, 532, 1872 tons, altogether making
90, $50, 939 tons, and the capital thus employed
in coal mining throughout the United States,
$40, 600, 900, while the capital invested in rail
ways and canals penetrating the coal fields,
made principally for their Development and
sustained by the coal trade, amounted to
$40, 900, 600. This large increase is strik-
ing example of prosperity; but the Americans
have one serious drawback, namely; dear la
Dor, and they cannot as yet compete with our
cheaper labor. Should, however, our mining
continue at any such cost as recently, the
wages in America may become actually less
than ours or equal to them. Then the pres
ent relative conditions may be reversed; we
have possessed far less coal and enjoyed far
better and cheaper means of extracting it;
they have had the most coal and have only re-
qured as cheap or cheaper labor than ours,
and equal skill in mining, to turn the balance
in their favor.
The course of manufacturing supremacy, of
wealth. and of power is directed by coal.
That wonderful mineral, of the possession of
which Englishmen have hitherto thought SO
lit tie but wasted so much, is the modern real
zaton of the philosophers stone: This chem
ical result Of primeval vegetation has been
the means, by its abundance, of raising this
country to an unprecedented height of pros
perity, and its deficiency might have the eff
feet OF lowering it to a slow decline, while by
greater abundance it raises another country in
the far West to a prosperity possibly greater
than our own. Ii raises up one peo-
pie and casts down another; it makes railways
on land and paths on the sea; it POUNDS cities ;
it rules nations; it changes the course of en-
pires.

from Bangor which states that Judge Kent's
ward in Bangor elected Dingley delegates
The Bangor Wing says that Ward >, (Judge

vote for Hon. Edward Kent. In this case the
average reader will conclude that the report
of the Wing and not the anonymous telegram
of the Journal states the truth in the matter
The Wing further states the caucuses were
more generally attended than usual and that
the most influential men in the city have beer
placed on the delegation. - Portland Press.

Poor Boys!

In the Ukrain (Russia) the
women court more generally
than the men. When a young
woman falls ia love with a
man she is not in the least
ashamed to go to his fathers
house and reveal her passion
in the most tender and pathets
ic manner, and to promise the
most submissive obedience if
he will accept her as a wife.
Should the insensible man pre-
tend any excuse, she tells him
she is resolved never to 90 ont
Of his house till he gives his
consent, and accordingly,
taking up her lodgings remains
there. If he still obstinately
refuses her his case becomes
exceedingly distressing. The
church is commonly on he1
side, and TO turn her out would
provoke her kindred to revenge
her honor, so that he has nc
method left but to betake HIM
SELF to flight till he is other,
wise disposed of. "

The expedition of the Yellow

entire outfit, while Gen. Geo. A.
Custar commands the cavalry.

highest regard for each other.

ness, of course, it was only cnthu-
siasm, but we should not be sur
prised if the Sioux should occa-
sionally produce a similar feeling
in the veins of Custar and Rosser
both, during the summer.
Rosser's brigade was we'll
known to the boys, and the ap-
pearance of a certain white horse
that was always conspicuous
when the brigade made its advent,
waSa sure indication that there
was business on hand. 1t would
! De hard to estimate the number OF
men who would claim they had
shot the man on that particular
horse after each engagement.
But old "Whitey" hung on until
the last, and it was finally a stand
ing joke that "death was abroad
on the pale horse" every time he
came in in view, and it was not a
little singular that so conspicuous
a mark should not have been hit
Now Custar goes to guard ROssel
while he does some good for the
country, and it is safe to say thai
he of the yellow locks will no
permit his former foe to fall into
the hands of the Sioux.

the prompt action taken in the

be, and that found in hemp.
