The Philadelphia Ledger in its weekly re-
view of the Pennsylvania Anthracite coaltrade
says: "Ihe coal trade continues dull, and
will probably be affected for better or worse by
the changes in prices and toll charges an
nounccd by the producing and carrying COM
panies to go into effect with the incoming
month. The Philadelphia Ledger admits that
there is growing market for the soft Goals OF
Pennsylvania and those of Maryland, the de-
maud not being confined to consumption in ouI
own market, but for export, for the supply Of
coal stations at the West Indies and elsewhere,
and adds: 1.-THE transatlantic steamers from
this port, which are steadily on the increase,
will take large amount of coal, and as the
furnaces are at present constructed the soft
Goals from the Cumberland (Md.) mines are
preferred"

VEGErABLEs.-W make the following ex
tract from a recent report of the Massachusetts,
State Board of Health on the food of the peo-
Pile:
''It is within the power of every one living
in the country to use great variety OF fresh
vegetables. The climate favors their produc-
ton, and but little care is required to keep
them in good condition. The edible roots, as
turnips, carrots, onions and beets, are as well
worth preservation as the omnipresent potato.
Each contains elements of nutrition peculiar to
itself, and can add new value to the stronger
foods. The same may be said OF cabbages,
now so extensively used by the Irish 10 Massa-
chusetts. All these vegetables need thorough
boiling, and more than they generally get. The
acid fruits and vegetables, as apples, tomatoes
and rhubarb-stalks, need no commentator.
They seem to meet an urgent want IN the diet
of our people, and this want in apparently
identical with that which has led to such enor-
nous use of vinegar and pickles, 10 conjunction
with the coarse fat of the pig, which, in the
ton of food. Wherever hog 8 lard and fat salt
pickles or vinegar.
1.-THE mildly acid tomato, unknown here till
within half a century, is now most extensively
used. Rhubarb stalks in their season enjoy an
almost equal popularity. Apples, now as al
ways, are to be found in nearly every house.
And may the use of each of these valuable
forms of food never grow less.
1.-The demand for acids in conjunction with
the coarse fats is unexplained by science;and this
illustrates several things First, the enormous
completely of the operations of natures labora-
tory in the process of digestion second, the
unfailing guide which instinct gives us in the
choice OF the elements of our food when the
body is in state of health third, the mex
pediency Of regulating our diet by theoretical
considerations

HIr. A. J. Rogers, in recent pamphlet on
the subject of the Great Falls Of the Potomac,
saws that The Great Falls Manufacturing
Company of Virginia, which organization ex-
lists by virtue of charters from both the States
of Virginia and Maryland, now own the Great
Falls water-power of the Potomac. And, in
addition to this power, the company owns about
nine hundred acres of land adjoining thereto
on the Virginia side, together with the Islands
tween the channels, and the land privileges
along the waters edge o. the Maryland side
of the river. The charters provide that, for
CITY and other purposes, the company have the
right to acquire, own, and control 1000 acres
more on the Maryland side, and 5000 acres
more on the Virginia side of the Potomac ad-
Joining their present property.

ALL the colored members of the Alabama
House of Representatives, but one, signed a
card to the following effect, as published in the
Montgomery Advertiser:
''The undersigned, colored members OF the
House of Representatives respectfully ask space

that he was laboring under severe attack OF

above detailed, to be very reprehensible and

TIE LATE WEATHER. remarkable spell

Winter over large belt of the country for
some days promises to pass off to-day. The
weather reports and other kilograms show that
movement of cold air has been progressing
from the Rocky Mountains towards New York

Pennsylvania and the lake region has given us
the strange sight of hail, sleet and snow squalls
with temperature that, if not destructive to the
crops and the fruit, will delay them by at least
fortnight beyond their usual time of ripening,

COURTS IN LoUIsIANA.-Herc is one illus
tration out of hundred of the condition Of
things in Louisiana: A fortnight ago two
judges presented themselves in an interior
parish to hold court The kellogg judge got
in first and took possession of the courthouse /;
the other occupied large room over store.
Two sheriffs opened the two courts about the
same time. Some of the lawyers went to one
and some to the other, according to political
prediction, while others moved between the
two without auchoring at either. But the
suitors did not care to have their cases adjudl-
Gated by either court, under the circumstan-
ces, and business was slim. The Kellogg Judge
sent two fellows to JAIL and the McEnery judge
did not do anything. When the courts, ad-
jourDed and started TOR the next parish, both
judges went together, after the manner Of good
humored joint campaign canvassers. I'VE

''The catalogues for this session have arrived,

"A great many of the students who were ap-

Thrown up" either in consequence Of having
had the measles, which have been all around

This. story of Benjamin Franklin
was told me by a gentleman of Bos>

which Franklin was born. Gotten,
said he, shave looked at the old
tumble down building in Milk street,
and imagined the barefoot boy sit

A young miss, daughter ola dis
tinguished citizen, passed him enc
day while thus engaged and the boy
overheard her words of ridicule as
she spoke to her companion, laugh
ing at the eagerness of the poor lad,
and deriding his "beautitul spelling
book"
But there came another day, when
Franklin was our ambassador at the
Court of France. A wealthy Amer
lean lady, who was present at one
Of the festive occasions made in hon

ton to her distinguished country
man. 1t was obtained and great
was her surprise to hear him say

Franklin added, "You do not re-
