"TAppED II IEIL.-From late telegram it
appears that for the last twenty-five years
there has been party Of scientists, com
posed of representatives, from tive different
nations, including the United States, engaged
in sinking shaft into the bowels of the earth,
for the purpose of investigating the theory of
internal fusion This shaft was sunk near
Bruges, in Belgium. On the first of last
November the heat became so intense that II
was found impossible to proceed They had
then reached the depth of 81 $40 feet and
six inches-so the story runs A few hours
after the miners had Withdrawn from the
shaft sulphurous smoke, accompanied by
blue flames, began to issue from the mouth
of the shaft, accompanied by rumbngs and
tremblings of the earth, and discharge OF
burning lava with ashes. Surrounding towns
and villages were destroyed, and many IN
habitants perished. The people are filed
with terror, and believe that the scientists
have bored through into hell. Even the
scientists themselves appear to be struck
with CONSERVATION at the appalling success OF
their investigations, and at last taccounts were
devising ways and means to plug up the
hole they had opened into the internal re-
gions."
The above we find in an exchange. The
tapping story was written, evidently, by

THE PAST YEAR.

Thou hast brought us some moments ell never
forget;
Some beams shed their brightness around our
paths yet;
Often, too often, our tears have been shed,
For dreams that have faded and hopes that have
fed;
Deep in our hearts lives many spell
That will make thee remembered farewell, Oh,
farewell
Why grieve Ger the past? Some hopes still are
ours:
The years that are coming may bring us fresl
flowers,
And again there II be music mid mountain and
stream,
Cheered by the stars that still brightly may
beam;
Trusting that yet some fond hopes may prove
true,
Let's cling to them closer because they are few
Dear New Year all hail thee, let bring what il
will,
So it brings some fond heart to throb for us still
Some bosom to rest on. some kind, winning tone
To soothe the sad heart when its dreamings are
gone;
Then even though life's Summer hours be past
May we live on and Owe on in bliss to the last.

foot of the mountain you come to the coal
measures. Two seams in close proximity
are between four and five feet thick, the
seam mostly worked now on Coal Creek,
the other not so large. Next and just
above these seams of COAL you find Il cliff
or bluff of black slate, say twenty or thirty
feet high, and closely imbedded with lam
mated iron set in, in sheets of iron from a
half inch to two inches in thickness
above this is one seam of coal of about the
thickness of thirty inches. Still above
this you come to seam of what call the
dry or furnace, coal of the thickness of
about four feet, compact and not stratified,
lying on q yellowish hard sand stone, blue
slate covering above. Then say seventy
five feet above, heavy mass of blue slate,
in very thin strata, moderately soft, in
which is imbedded heavy range of what
suppose to be clay iron stone ore, very hard
and solid of the thickness of nearly four feet.
The next iron that [ have discovered is
perhaps one hundred feet above the last
mentioned nearly like q blue limestone.
This is only about two feet in thickness, in
heavy blocks. You pass several seams of
coal, some workable and others not, then
you come to another seam of iron of the
clay iron stone family of a very fine tex
ture. All these seams of iron have much
the appearance of limestone. The last
named is of finer texture with a slight red
or brown tinge, and good article of iron
ore, and so on to the top of the mountain,
alternately coal and iron seams. From
the base to the top being two thousand two
hundred feet perpendicular hight.
In making this cross section through the
Coal Creek mining and manufacturing
companies properly, on Coal Creek, you
encounter and pass more iron than cross
section in any other direction of ten miles.
am no Geologist but / have come to the
above conclusion from practical observa-
ton. If am wrong there is way to set
me right by scientific examination and
analysis.
There are many deposits of what is call
ed nodule ore inlbeded some times in blue
slate, and some times black slate, this no.
due ore is generally rich in iron.
In my opinion, there is no necessity
to talk of Lake Superior or Missouri iron
ores, these are the ores to max the rea
Scotch pig iron. My impression is to mis-
with red hematite and Walden's Ridge
brown hard ore, will make the best quail
ity of iron. HENRY H WILEY.

New YORK, July Ga letter from Gene

the late Empress of France. She says her
visit to France is for political purposes,
and it is useless to try to conceal it. She
believes there will soon be general return
of the people to order. The anti-christian
and pagan court at Berlin, and the wild
communists at Madrid, are filled with fear
at the awakening of Catholic France. Now
that the wretched Theirs is gone all moves
well. Mcmahon is President, and he loves
France. 1.-THE future" continued Eu-
genie, is ours, and France will lead the
reaction against the forces which have
seemed to threaten the existence of society
and religion throughout Europe" She
saw in the future that France would again
be at the head Of the nations; the rob-
bers would be driven out of Rome, the
Pope restored Germany divided into pow
erless States, and Austria again strong.
