The Coming Hog Crop.
New York Bulletin


AS the packing season approaches,
and interest is turning largely to the
new crop, it is of some interest to know
the bearings of the situation. In Chica-
20, the market for both lard and pork
for these deliveries opened on the first
Of July, and it is estimated by good
authority that up to the first of October,
1874, there will have been sold in that
market considerably over 100, 900 bbls.
of pork at from $685. up to $1825,-
so, 900 bbis of which were for seller the
year, and 1000 for January and Feb
ruary. Of Lard something over Y, 900,
at 9 up to 115c, of which over G2, 900
were seller this year, and January and
February 10000. In meats, it is said,
not over 8, 900 boxes have been reported
sold, and on private terms, as packers
are reported to have refused to offer to
any extent For the same time last year
sales were only about 10, 900 bbls. pork
and 90, 600 tierces lard, with large sales
of meat OF exporters at much lower
prices all around, or $13. 50@13874 for
pork, and 7401795-1OO per ID. for lard.
The sales of lard, however, have been
large, but we are without data upon
which to estimate them; yet thes .opin-
ions for seller the year and six months
have been generally active for the past
seven weeks, and would no doubt aver
age about 10, 900 tierces per week, which
would give in both markets a total of
nearly $50, 600 if they were legitimate
sales for actual delivery, and 100, 600

The Danger of Wet Coal.

People who prefer wetting the winters
store Of coal to lay the dust on putting ii
in the cellars, do not, we believe, gener-
ally know that they are laying up for
themselves a store Of sore throat and 9th
er evils consequent upon the practice
But so it is said to be. Even the fire
damp which eecapes from coal mines
arises from the slow decomposition of
coal at temperatures but little above that
Of the atmosphere, but under augmented
pressure. BY wetting a mass Of freshly
broken coal and putting it in warm eel
lar, the mass is heated to such degree
that carburcted and sulphureted hydro
gen are given off for long periods Of
time, and pervade the whole house The
liability of wet coal to mischevious re-
suits under such circumstances may be
appreciated from the circumstance that
there are several instances on record of
spontaneous combustion Of wet coal
when slowed into the bunkers or holds
Of vessels. And from this cause, doubt
less, many missing coal vessels have
persisted.

WHO Is MRS. JOHNsONe


The court and upper circles of Lon
don are inquiring who she is, and for
the following weighty reason. The
London Gazette lately made this an
nouncement Notice Is hereby given
that the presentation of Mrs johnson
at her majesty's drawing room on
Thursday, the 26th of February last,
took place through inadvertenee."
Now, all who enter the drawing room
of the queen to be presented at court
have to pass the Lord Chamberlain,
who is supposed to hold documentary
evidence of character and position of
the applicant for presentation. The
act of presenting past, the individual
so marked by royal favor is gazetted,
and thus glides easily into the gay
world Of London. The Queens draw
ing room is a sort of ante-room to
fashionable society in the metropolis,
and all who pass this ordeal are ad-
mitted without a question. Every
golden doors swings open to the knock
of a lady who has been formally
presented to the Queen, and
the matrimonial prospects of the de-
putante are considered secure. Since
such is the effect of presentation at
court, an ''inadvertent" slipping into
the royal presence is frightful. 1t be-
comes matter of vast Importance who
the Mrs. johnson" is, now sailing
somewhere under false colOrs. The
name is branded, but the name is awful
ly indefinite. There are so many par
ties of the name of johnson who have
given women the right to call them
selves Mrs. johnson that the particular
trespasser upon the domain of polite
society viii be exceedingly hard to cor
ne-. An army of JOhnsOns in London
will pass in review before General Scru-
tiny.
The above notice was dated at the
Lord Chamberlain Office and is Off
cial. 1t is the general impression that
the court cerberus has been asleep or
blinking and winking at some candi-
dates whose pedigree could not be
traced or whose characters were not
above suspicion. And 1t has been hint
ed that France, Germany and America
have been furnishing some of these ex-
ceptions to the rigid rules of the court.
The fashionable inquiry In London now
is: "Who Is Mrs. Johnsons"

WHISKY AND POLITICS.

1t is a noteworthy fact In the Ohio
elections that the principal result of
the women's movement has been to In
crease the strength of the Democratic
party, which has always, from its ear
hest organization, strongly opposed
legal interference with personal liberty
in the matter of eating and drinking.
The reason for this lies partly in the
fact that the German clement, which
has hitherto, to a great extent, sustain
ed the Republican party, has taken
alarm at the threatened interference
with German customs, and has feared
that the Republican party would be
more likely to disturb them In their
enioyments than the Democrats, and
have therefore abandoned the former
for the latter. Furthermore the native
American, though more under terror of
popular opinion than the German, and
less willing to assert his rights of per-
sonal liberty in the face of the cru
saders, nevertheless is pretty sure to
assert his rights at the ballot, and tO
show by his vote that the liberty of
taking his tod IN peace is as dear TO
him as to the Chattanooga
Times.

A COAL NINE ABLAZE.
"LOOlks Like HeII.s

A writer who has just explored the burn
ing Empire coal mine, near Wilkesbarre,
must have seen novel and magnificent
sight. These mines, when once on fire,
sometimes burn for years; but it is seldom
that any one can 90 near the flames, and
even when it is possible but few would care
to attempt it. The descent at the Empire
mine was three hundred feet, and then
along side gallery.
Every stride onward appears to intensity
the warmth, and human apparel seems
more than human nature is able TO bear.
The perspirafion begins TO start from the
pores, and current of air constantly pour
ing in from outside appears to be caught
and subdaed by that dreadful heat which
almost chokes and stiles YOU. The is no
let up to it, no relief. Suddenly there falls
upon the air peculiar noise, like the NUT
tering of Internal spirits, away down in the
deepest depths of the universe. Still on,
and these mutterings increase to a mighty
roar, until by and by one can detect certain
sounds above all others. There is a sound
as if made by falling waters, which gains
and increases on the ear as TO the traveller
does the rushing of a cataract. The old
guide continues slowly on the way; clouds
of smoke envelOp our heads, until the cav
ern, taking peculiar curve, brings us under
a mighty arch, the floor and sides Of which
seem to be a mass of kissing, cracking
flames. 1t may be a wicked expression, but
1t looks like he'll. The fire extends over
an immense area of 1,2OO yards, dread,
awful and appalling, but indiscribably
beautiful nevertheless. 1t looks like an
immense sea of glittering gold, across the
hcaying breast of which pass and repass the
sOfteSt and richest combinations OF. cOlOIs.
Blue, green, purple, crimson, mingling and
intermingling, passing and re-passing, dis
appearing here and suddenly flashing up
again there, torture the senses, confuse the
vision and leave one doubtful of the place
whereon he stands. 1t Kisses it rOars,
it flashes up and smokes, driving back
the men and befouling the air. There
are persons down there, human beings
like ourselves, who have spent many
months of their past life in fighting this
fire, and who will spend many months Of
their lives yet to come. They are terrible
looking creatures when thus engaged in
their work. whose besmeared faces and
rough, blackened forms give them the ap-
pearance of devils rather than of men.
They spend but a few hours there, for so
intense is the heat that new men must
come very frequently to their relief. As it
is, scarcely day passes during which some
poor fellow does not yield to these under
ground elements, and is carried out insen-
sible. 1t must be an awful life to lead, and
awful, indeed, the circumstances which
compel so many to endure 1t.

tnted for it, voted down the previous ques-
tion-ayes II, nays 142.
This gave Butler control of the question
and he promptly, amid great confusion and
excitement, moved to postpone further
consideration until Tuesday next, stating
that he would follow that vote with a mo-
tion to 60 to the Speakers table, and take
up and pass the Senate bill. The motion
to postpone was carried-yeas 133, nays
12l.
Dir. Maynard who had charge Of the bill,
voted aye in order that he might move to
reconsider. Most Of the opponents ofexpan-
sion voted against postponement.
Mr.. Butler moved to reconsider, and lay
that motion on the table, the parliamenta-
ry mode of making decision final. 1t was
now five O'Clock and a motion to adjourn
was interposed and by a vote by tellers it
was carried by 117to 100. Mr.. Butler de-
manded the yeas and nays desiring to have
the currency question settled in to-day's
session. Themotion to adjourn was car
ried, and the House adjourned.
