The coal crop of the United States dur.
ing 1874 amounted to about 100000
ions of bituminous coal, nearly the
,lme amount of antEracite,' and mill
ion or more tons of Ignite or brown
coal. Ofthis, Pennsylvania, of course,
contributed the largest proportion, es-
pecially in the matter of anthracite coal,
but next 10 this Ohio shows the largest
yields in bitumihous productions of any
Of the States. Obio's coal production In
1874 amounted to 4,l68, 445 tons. That of
Illinois only reached 100000 tons, In
diana, 9o9, 144; Missouri, 100000; Califor-
MIA, 100000; Kentucky, 100000; Tennes.

pus coal during the year are estimated
at from 9,Oo0,00O to 12,000,000 tons, and
her products Of anthracite win reach
double that amount.
" While Pennsylvania by far exceeds
Ohio in its coal productions and is vir.
tually the coal producing region Of the
United States, there is no reason why
Ohio should not mine all the bituminous
coal that is needed for her home con.
sumption. Her coal fields are large and
her facilities for transportation excel.

fields may become one OF the great in
dustries Of the state, and may not only
make Ohio more independent of other
portions OF the country but also add
largely to her revenues. The facilities
ior transportation from the mines to this
and other cities are now excellent but
are only an indication OF what we may
expect in the future. The people in this
region are becoming tired of depending
upon the philanthropies Of coal kings
and coal dealers and have fnaug gurated a

About this light robes folds Of white,
Wherein their gathered sweetness lay.
Stillclings their perfume of delight.
And all in vain the warm wind sweeps
These airy folds like vapor fine,
Among them still the odor sleeps,
And haunts me with dream divine.
30 to my heart YOUR memory clings,
So sweet, SO rich, so delicate:
Eternal summer time IL brings.
Defying all the storms of fate;
A power to turn the darkness bright,
Till life with matchless beauty glows;
Eacn moment touched with tender light,
And every thought OF you rose!

The Dead Democracy.

The day after the assembling of the
Ohio Democratic Convention at Co.
lumbus the following article appeared
in the Cincinnati Commercial, the
leading independent journal Of the
West:
There is no national Democratic
party to-day. In the great Middle
and Eastern States there is no tolera-
ton for the doctrines proclaimed at
Columbus, and there is not the SYM
tom of aparty to support them. Why,
Ill New York, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, and all the New England
States, the first care Of the organs and
orators OF the Democratic party has
been to prove that good Democrats
could not entertain such principles us
We're Enthusiastically proclaimed at CO.
'umbus yesterday; and the platforms
OF the Cleveland and Mansfield De-
nocr;ley displayed the sentiments of
important masses OF citizens in Ohio
who have been accustomed to call
themselves Democrats. The Demo.
cratic party is denationalized. So
much for the presidential ambition of
William Allen, and the inappeasable
hunger for any place in public view
OF General Cary.
The victorious career of the Demo-
cratic party, continued for more than
a year, and which until yesterday
warranted anticipation of the possess
sion Of all the high places in the ma
ton as fast as the popular verdict
could be pronounced, stop here. The
party that would deliberately reduce
the finances Of the United States after
ten years Of peace and prosperity, to
the level OF those Of the Southern Con-
federacy in the last year of the war
can not prevail in Ohio; and after
the October election Governor Allen
must look to Fruit Hill and the nat
ural science for consolation, while
General Carey may utilize his abound
ing energies in his silver mine in prac-
teal preparations for the resumption
OF specie payments.

TIE COLUMBIA STEAM FIRE ENGINE
Yesterday evening the new Prunty valve and
the three hundred feet of pew hose recently
purchased for the Columbia steam fire engine
were objected to thorough test at the Duke
street wharf 10 the presence of the Fire Ward
ems, Messrs. j. B. Smoot, George f. French,
James p. Coleman and S. A. Green The low
tide made it necessary to draw the water as
much as ten feet from the river, and with this
disadvantage the engine obtained from one
hundred and thirty to one hundred and sixty
pounds Of water pressure to the square inch.
The Prunty valve worked admirably, and is
found 10 be most useful Invention, enabling
the fremen to shut off the water from the pipe
without stopping the engine The pew hose
were purchased from Samuel j. Greer of Phil
adelphia, and were guaranteed to stand a water
pressure OF two hundred pounds to the square
inch, but two sections were burst-the
first succumbed at pressure of one hundred
and twenty-five pounds, and the second at
pressure Of one hundred and sixty pounds.
The burst sections will be returned to the
manufacturer, and others will be supplied 10
their place. Whilst the hose were being test
ed the water was thrown fully thirty feet above
the chimney of the Pioneer mills, which is one
hund; ed and ten feet high, and the Wardens
expressed themselves as being fully satisfied
with the results of the trial.
