More Coal

The CoH.ery Guardian says A fragment
Of Intelligence Of considerable interest has
reached us this week from the continent,
viz, that II has been ascertaIned that the
basin of the Ruhr Is continued as far as the
Liege We say that it is a matter of con
siderable interest, because Importance OBJ
viously attaches to every discovery which
is calculated to increase the supply Of coal
available for European consumption. In
1855 or 1886, soundings were made on the
left bank Of the Rhine to the west Of
Dusseldorf and Ruhrert; coal was found
at no great depth, and house Of Haniel, Of
Ruhrert, sunk pit near Homberg. BE-
tween 1857 and the Franco German war
expl0rltary operations ceased but they
we're resumed with activity three years
since. and the known extent Of the Ruhr
basin has already been more than doubled.
The explorers pushed further westward,
and in 1873 they discovered near Crefeld,
at a depth Of about 600 feet, some import
ant beds of gas coal The next step was
to commence sinking operations III the
neighborhood Of Simpelfeld, between AK
and Maestricht; but the results attained
we're Of less favorable character; and
although some coal was met with, it was
Of no great extent or value The more in
teliigent and perseverlng explorers who
had occupied themselves with the affair de-
termined, however, t. push on, and last
year they discovered in the neighborhood
Of Heelen, III four OF five different local
tiles, and at a depth Of from 800 to 660
feet, some very fine beds Of gas and coking
coal In December, 1874, very pure bed
Of rich gaseous coal was met with in the
commune of klimmen, to the west Of
Heerlen, a. a depth Of 725 feet. The ex-
tent and quality Of the last bed thus cut
appear to have attracted some attention in
Holland, and, in fact, an Interpolation
was recently addressed on the subject to
the Dutch Minister of Public Works IN one
of the Dutch Chambers. The Dutch are
afraid that the coal Of what must now be
regarded as the very extensive Ruhr basin
will drive Dutch coal out of the Belgian
markets; and, Of course, if Ruhr coal is
worked upon considerable scale, it may
also diminish the demand for Eghlish coal
in some Of the principal countries Of Eur
ope.

Mark Twains EARLY Home

A correspondent writing from Hannibal,
Missouri, says on Third Street, short
distance from cross street-It is Bird

name stands the building in which sam
my Clemens lived twenty years ago. 1t Is

large brick chimney outside the building,
and fronts eastward, being faced by four
spawning locust trees. Otherwise there is
not single Distinguishing mark. Ii has
no front yard, and the fences III the im-
mediate vicinity are ancient and frall. The
upper part of the house is given to old
boxes and the spiders, while the lower
floor is used as cabinet shop by some
desecrator Of regard for utton-bursting
and slde-splittlng genius. Many of the
people Of the town remember the boy, but
with different opinions. tne old lady,
Mrs Martin, says 'he used 10 come up and
play with her girls and that he weren't
such an awful smart fellow till he got away,
and then folks began to see lots of HIM.
Another person, however, Of the mascu
line persuasion, says he "knew the boy
well, and that he was smart as steel
trap" A third says that 'old man Glenn

Scandinavian sntiquarians are rejoicing
in the fact that archaeological discoveries
recently made near Frederickstadt, Nor
way, are as important as those Of their
colleagues in other parts of the world. The
oaken hull Of vessel, believed to be one
built anu navigated by the ancient Yick-
lngs, has been found inbedded in a tum-
ulOus 1T the above mentioned locality. II
bears marks of having been a war ship,
used for coast service, and propelled by
oars and sails. The length Of its keel is
fOrty-four feet, and the breath Of its beam
thirteen feet. la accordance with primi-
tive Norwegian customs, it is supposed
the vessel was placed over the remains Of
its captain, since human skeleton, frag-
ments Of dress, the skeleton Of horse
with its accountrements and harness, we're
found beneath it, all Of which have been
placed in the Antiquarian Museum at
