The memoirs of Tallevrand must be som

The memoirs of Talleyrand must be some
thing very dreadful indeed, for there appears
to be standing conspiracy against the pub
LEGATION of them. The astute intriguer was
very careful that they should never see the
light while he lived, and since his death other
people have been quite as anxious to keep
them in manuscript. in 1885, Metternich
succeeded in suppressing for thirty years their
publication, not caring to have the duplicity
of the Austrian Cabinet exposed to the
world. 1t is now sail that Napoleon III read
the manuscript in 1866, and, finding that the
memoirs were in direct contradiction OF the
Memorial of St. Helena, prevailed npon the
valencay family, the heirs of Prince Talley-
rand, to delay the publication another thirty
years. In return for this concession the
title of Due de Montmorency was revived in
favor of a cadet of the family.

For some time past the Philadelphia Coal
and Iron Company have been in search of
a mammoth coal vein IN Schuylkill county,
Pa, and at last this wonderful vein has
been reached at the company's Norwegian
shaft, between Pottsyile and St. Clair, at a
depth Of over 1900 feet. Following is a
description Of the veins as they were found
taken from the Pottsyille PA Miners
Journal:
The seven-foot vein, which is the upper
member of the mammoth, was found to be
thirteen and one-half feet thick, and OF
excellent coal. Underneath this vein there
are seven feet of slate, three and one-hali
feet Of good coal, sixteen feet of coal con-
tanning iron ore balls. and six feet of car
bonaceous iron ore or black band thick, and
next one a half foot Of partition slate. Then
comes the mammoth vein, twenty-one feet
and under this it is thought there is a nine
feet vein Of coal. Below this, it is believed
comes the solid rock. Besides the red ash
veins, which will be worked, and Of which
no mention has been made in this article
there are the following white and gray Goals
Primrose, fourteen feet deep; seven>foo
