MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

SOMETHING Mr.. GLADSTONE DOES Nor
KNow.--m the course of speech in Parlia-
ment at the last session, the Right Hon. Mr..
Gladstone told the House of Commons that
there is no chance for stable prosperity i'll the
United States, because there is no anthracite
coal mined here. We meraly mention this to
show that much as the English Premier knows
of many things, he has not dipped very deeply
into the statistics of the American coal trade.
England, with her $12ooo0,ooo of tons of
annual coal production, is of course the great
coal mining country Of the world, but Penn
sylvania, in proportion to population, mines
more anthracite coal than England, her an
thracite product last year showing Is, 40o, 600
tons.

eaS5- 1t is amusing to notice how often a
joke reproduces ITSELF with change of
location. The following, which we now find
going the rounds of the press, was written in
substance by Charley Jay, a few years ago, in
reference to the alleged discovery of coal on
Squire John Smiths farm, short distance
below this city:
-" An eminent civil engineer and geologist
gave the following certificate to the starters of
coal mine At the urgent request of the
Ojibheway Coal Company, | have tested the
sample of coal sent to me, and it is my firm
opinion that when the great confagration of
the world shall take place, and which is expected
to happen on the final day, the man who shall
stand upon that coal mine will be the very
last man who shall be burned.

KIN6woop, Feb. 17th 1873.
Mr.. EDITOR We saw in your paper last
week that some of our young men misbehaved
themselves at our exhibition in Kingwood re-
Gently, which had the effect to arouse the feel
ings of some ofour boys. We hope our young
friends will act like the boy when kicked by
jack-consider where it comes from, and take
no offence. We think our exhibition passed
off very respectfully, Notwithstanding "Close
Observers statements. If this busy body had
purchased a vial of the medicine recommended
mt the exhibition, called Mind youi-own-busi-
ness and taken freely of it, it would have re-
lieved him of all jealous feelings.

~ Several of the newspapers along the
line of the Belvidere Delaware r. r. are COM
menting on the fast running of the express
train between Trenton and this city. They
report that short time since the distance was
run in 10 minutes-some say in II minutes
Such running is certainly rather fast, but as
the distance between Warren Street, Trenton,
and this city, is 146 miles instead of 16 miles,
as reported by them, it somewhat reduces the
supposed speed.
