PENNSYLVANIA COAL TRADE.-There il
rather more activity in coal and the orders
Coming in are to fair amount. The wholesale
prices OF anthracite coal, per ton 2,2fO pounds
for the month of September, free on board al
the several Underwater shipping points, have
been advanced from Is to 25 cents on the prices
OF the month of August. The retail trade iD
this city is moderately active. A report has OBJ
tanned circulation that change is contem-
plated in the mode of the wholesale and retail
mar ketiIg of the coal of the Reading
Coal and Iron company, to the effect that the
company virtually give up the business to the
middle men. While we can find no authority
for the truth of such report, the extensive prep
arations of the company TO extend their accom-
modatons for an increase of their retail trade
is pretty conclusive that nothing of the kind is
at present contemplated, indeed Is preposterous
The extreme drouth has checked operations az
the mines by reason of lack of the necessary
suIply Of water to drive the machinery.-PhiId.

How DID THE MARsHAL's Doc GET AwAyP
Late yesterday afternoon the dog catcher in
vaded the precincts Of Corcorau street, in the
extreme northwestern section Of the CITY, i'm
search OF game in his line. About half wav
down the thoroughfare he cast his SCOOP net
and gathered into its folds q black and tan
pup, owned by Marshal Sharpe, who has the
President during his stay as q guest. The dog
was quite a household pet, and DR.. Sharpe tried
moral suasion to reclaim the canine. He opened
an argument with the dog catchers, and claimed
that inasmuch as the dog was caught in front
OF his premises, between the building line and
the curb, he should not have been moIested .
for, reasoned the doctor, the owner of a house
can claim as his property the space between
the building line and curb, and q dog Certainly
should be allowed unmuzzled the freedom OF
his masters premises The argument went on
and finally exhausted itself, and in favor OF
the dog catcher, who turned 70 place the pup
N his wagon, but like the Irishman's flea, he
wasn't iht re; the scoop net was empty. The
dog catcher looked mp the street and down the
street, but no ''purp" was 90 be seen. Mean
time President Grant had been standing near
hy smoking impertubably with arms folded "a
III his thoughts were q thousand miles away
but quiet CLEAN of fun from the corner of his
eye indicated that he could have told how tbe
dog escaped. Ii Is deemed barely possible that
while the catcher sud the Marshal were hot In
discussion be might have casually opeued IN a
sccop net with bis toe and signed to the dog to
seoot into the house; but this Is only Q guess.

FAT MEAT FOR CoNsUMpTIvEs.-
taste for fat meat is unfortunately not
universal among children, but when il
shows itselfit it is often universally re.
pressed by parents. This taste is ano
ther expression of the wants of the liv.
ing system which we can not disregard
with impunity. Without fats the or.
ganism can not be built up in perfection
Fats counteract the tendency to con,
sumption. Observation has established
the fact that persons who in early life
show taste for fat meat seldom fall
victoms of that disease and, vice versa
that consumptives have generally
shown an early repugnance TO such
food. There can be no question as to
the lesson taught by this fact--that
when the appetite exists it ought to be
INDUCED, and that it ought, if possible,
to be created, when wanted, by tonics,
and abundant exercise in the open air.
