late our sister Guy, Dallas, In being
able to furnish in bulk the raw material
that may be worked up to such an ad-

Hershey, who molds it to forms that
serves the uses of mankind, are we in
debted for the emancipation or liberty
that we now enjoy from the labors that

SOMETHING like the old joke, said to
have been played by an English king
on scientific body, has happened in
this country. The quizzical monarch
wanted to know why fish placed in a
bucket full of water did not cause it to
rise or increase in apparent bulk. After
many ingenious theories had been pro-
pounded the thing was submitted to a
practical test, and it was found that the
water did rise. A distinguished surgeon
of the United States army, DR.. Ely Me-
Clellan. was detailed by a resolution of
congress to investigate the cause of the
cholera in 1878, on the Mississippi river
from Tennessee to Louisiana. He re-
ports that he has arrived at the conclu-
sion that there has been no cholera In
the country referred to, as appears by
the newspapers Galveston News.

An Interesting QUestiOn-Can Com
sumption be Cured?

This question is often asked but rarely an
swered to the satisfaction of the patient. Our
answer is that pulmonary consumption in
Its incipient form is rs durable as any other
disease, If only the right remedies are applied
The question naturally arises as to what are
the remedies? In reply we state that Mars
den's Pectorai Balm las been used success
fully In over million of eases, and has been
adopted by physicians as the most reliable
remedy known for the treatment of Bronch-
ial affections.
One great reason that Marsden's Pectoral
Balm has gained such popularity is the fact
that II is within the reach of all, and can be
purchased from all dealers at fifty cents for
ssmall or one dollar for large bottle. One
bottle will effect cure In most cases.

with the utmost ease, the battle being between
Judge Fullerton aud American Girl for the sec
oDd place. They kept well together but on the
home stretch Fullerton beat her out. In the
third heat Goldsmith Maid acted badly imme-
diately after getting the word, Fullerton Gt
once taking good lead, but as soon as the Maid
levelled herself che passed Fullerton, who Was

The PENNSYLVANIA Coal TRADE. With
the incoming of the present month of Septem-
Der revival of the coal trade generally il
expected. The prices of coal are up Is cents BIZ
the operators and 25 cents by the retailers
Wages are also up trihe, and the miners are
already discussing the basis question as regards
prices for 1875. The supply of coal at the princi-
pal centres is being pretty well depleted. The
orders coming in are TO a fair amount, but the
trade may still be characterized as rather dull.
The coal trade, it lie known, depends very much
on the iron trade, which sill rules slack. At
PittsbUrg, great iron centre, careful inquiry
among the leading j0bbers and manufacturer
in the trade developes the fact of sufficient
stocks to last until the lst Of November. From
these sources there will be, therefore, little de-
mand until after that date. ANY demand thai
may be felt must come from the smaller IL al ers,
who, as rule, buy their supplies from the job
bers While the trade in coal for domestic uses
is fairly active it il dull so fan as manufacture ng
consumers are concerned. The Mauch Chunk
Gazette notices res umptIon of work at all the
cOllieries in that reg ion, and says, while there
hes been very little &C tual increase in business
the feeling in regard 20 trade is much better, in
confirmation of which fact Mr.. Paris, president
Of the l.. and w. b. Goal company, has received
large order which will keep the mines OF tn a.
company busy for some PtiIadei ,Aia

TROUBLES ON THE TEXAN BoRDER.-Com-
plants come up from western Texas, says the
Waco (Texas) Register Of August %, of the out
RACES and robberies committed on the Mexican
citizens of Texas by the men Of Captain Wal
lace's company OF state police, who were sent
down there by Gov. Coke. The Brownsville
Ranchero publishes a detailed account OF the
outrages, and the San Antonio Express and
other papers say that Coke's orders, under
which Wallace and his men are acting, are alt0-
gether too loose, allowing them even to invade
Mexican soil. and that the United States gov
ernment has been compelled to interfere to pre-
vent its involvement in a war with Mexico from
the license given Wallace and bis men by
Cokes instructions. Inc ESptess has the fol
lowing additional remarks: ''And ii the cut
RACES on our Mexican fellow citi Zens continue
the Federal Government will be called on &c
protect western Texas from anarchy and civil
war. Captain Wallaces company ought 20 he
ordered out of western Texas at once, and IL
this is not done they ought TO be driven out by
the outraged citizens. Captain Wallace has
authority TO assist the officers Of the law in the
discharge of their duty when necessary. When
he goes beyond that he makes himself an out
law, ard should be so treated. III the citizens
are not protected they have right 70 protect

SPONTANEOUS CONBUsTIoN.-The Ogdens-
burg Journal says; The fire which recently oc-
CURED In Badlam's block, WAS supposed by Mr
Giffin, who occupied the rooms i'll which il took
to have originated spontaneously, Among the
debris thrown out of the building after the 6=e,
on Friday, August 81, were some old oiled rags.
Theywere saturated with water. They have
been kicking about the yard since the fire, F.
s. Munro, who occupies the middle store in the
block, having only few DAYS since turned them
over with his foot. Thursday morning, 81 in
slant, smoke was seen issuing from this bunch
Of rags by Mr.. Munro, who watched till flames
broke out. There were several witnesses 20
this incident, who have been converted 70 the
theory of spontaneous combustion.
