We are in receipt Of letter from Sir
Gavan Duffy, says the Dublin Nation,
written on the 10th of October last, in
which be says he means "to visit Ireland
In June next )" but gives no further cor
roboration, If this be any, of the statement
recently published to the effect that he
purposes returning to remain at homo.
ILLNESS OF THE BISHOP OF cLoYNE.
There lie no Irishman who will not be
deeply grieved by the intelligence that tho
MOst Rev. DR.. Keane, the good Bishop of
Cloyne, continues seriously unwell, and
that his state ia such as to cause apprehen-
sion amongst his friends. 1t is needless to
dwell on the solicitude with which the
Irish people will watch for his recovery.
Endeared to bis country men by piety and
patriotism, illIstrious as prelate, distin-
guished as an Irishman, his lordship
occupies o place in the hearts and affec-
lions of his flock, and in the esteem of the
whole Irish race, which could only be won
by the most exalted virtue and sterling
public worth. That God may restore him
quickly to the full blessings of health and
strength is q prayer in which Irishmen will
'4ervently join from pole to pole.

An Oriental Show.

It seems that the mikado of Japan is
not the only oriental potentate who has
forsaken the ancient seclusion of his
august rank. The emperor of China
has actually shown himself to the vUl-
gar world outside the dragon palace.
He lately paid to the tomb of his ances-
tors the annual visit which is exacted of
every occupant of the imperial throne.
On coming forth from the palace, he
asked where all the people were. The
streets, according to custom, were de-
serted as those of coventry when Lady
Godiva took her famous horseback ex-
ercise even the lattices and doors were
sealed with strips of paper. The son
of heaven when told that no common
eye was permitted to look upon the
form OF the emperor of China, replied,
rather irreverently, that he did not see
why the people should not see him.
Accordingly, when he returned from the
ancestral tombs, after several days alb
sence, the imperial show was witnessed
by all who chose to look. An English
correspondent of Shanghai journal,
who stood in line most Loyalty several
hours, to gaze upon the person of the
SOLITARY man." describes the emperor
as looking about forty years of agerather
than nineteen, as he is reputed to be.
He had adissipated look, long, pointed
face, with worn expression. The en-
press dowager and empress mother &C
companied him, each borne in chairs on
mems shoulders. The procession was
mob of officials and spearmen, and
was concluded with eighteen carts, COW
cred with yellow cloth, containing the
imperial concubines. The exhibition,
though significant, was disappointing to
foreign spectators.

Area in No. of Thickness
50. ms. Beds. of mias-na

The above includes the seven princi-
pal coal areas of the country. The
eighth of which comparatively little is
known, lies within what is known as the
Rocky Mountain region. and consists
chiefly of beds of soft Bituminous coal,
and ignites, which are already coming
into general use, and which, in a coun-
try naturally deficient in wood, have a
great and constantly increasing value.
With these resources of fuel, and the
many fields of future production vet
undiscovered, we can sustain the great
est possible individual development for
many centuries to come, while the geo.
graphical distribution of our coal basin
is such that, when increased transport
tation facilities shall have established a
more intimate intercommunication be-
tween the states, no combination of mine
owners and carriers will long be able to
deprive any part of the country of the
advantages of cheap and abundant
supply.

Horse-racing in Syria.

The Pail Mall Gazette condenses in a
readable form an interesting account of
horses and horse-racing in Syria, given
by vice-cOnsul Kirby Green in his re-
port on the agricultural capabilities, fl
nances, ETC., of the city and district of
Damascus, Just issued. A great desire
appears to exist in Europe to obtain
from Syria pure Arab blood. A
commission, composed of officials be-
longing TO the French government
has been for some time in Syria,
and has made some valuable acquisi-
tions, especially in mares. Similar
commissions have visited Syria at diff
erent periods on behalf of the Russian,
italian and other governments. The
French officials informed the vice-con-
sui that, though they have considered
the horses shown to them of the high
est purity of breed, still the precon-
ceived idea of an Arab horse is SO strong
in France that they felt great hesitation
in purchasing any of them, as they re-
semble too closely English thorough
breds. The Governor General of Syria
lately organized a race meeting to as
certain the speed and endurance of the
Syrian horses. The following is a note
of the distances over, and the time in
which the races were run, the time be-
ing taken by vicc-consul Kirby himself
and the distances said to have been cor
rectly measured by Turkish engineer
officers First race, l-2 miles, run in
IA minutes second race, 5 So miles,
run in IL IA minutes third race, 3 ga
miles, run in - minutes. 1t was re-
markable how little distressed the
horses appeared to be, although the ma
jority were ridden without stirrups and
several barebacked. 1t is not only for
horses but also for donkeys that France
has recourse 60 Damascus. The famous
a1eS dc Nun1idie. used in the south of
France and Spain as sires for the pro-
duction of mules, are periodically ex-
ported from that city. They are very
large, having immense bone, and range
from twelve to thirteen and half hands
in height. Their coats are rough, and
their eyes are fringed with long hair.
Donkeys of this breed have been sold
in Perpignan at from $500 to $500 each.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 1850-1873, 1873-07-11

Two noted literary men died in New
York city, last year, and it was supposed
they both died poor. Each received a
salary amounting to more than S., 900 a
year, for many years before he died. In
one instance it was necessary to take up
q collection among the friends of the
deceased to obtain the necessary funds
for burial expenses. In the other case,
while the dead man lay in the house, a
friend searching through his private
papers found a life insurance policy for
$4,000. The last premium had been
paid by friend while the man was in
good health. Do not neglect to insure
your life. Do it now, and we recon-
mend the old New York Life Insurance
Company as one of the very best COM
panies to insure in. Send to the home
office, 348 Broadway, New York, for all
necessary papers.

Valuable.

Fire insurance is regarded everywhere
as among the necessaries of life. A
property-holder is reckless without it.
Life insurance is now classed with fire
insurance in this particular. The Ma
tiOnal Life Insurance Company of the
United States of America, with branch
Office at Philadelphia, with which cor
respondence should be had, with the

ance company in the world, offers in
surance in all sections of the country
at three-fourths the customary rates,
and desires an agent in every locality.
1t combines absolute strength with I'M
usual cheapness, is managed by some
of the best men of the country, and is

seeking insurance, and the attention OF
all persons seeking employment.
