sold and the prices realized.

Mr.. Hoyt the Vice President of the
Pennsylvania Coal Company, said : "It
is impossible for me to tell whether
there is any immediate advance in
prices. Certainly, coal is not paying
at present rates. Just how long it will
be kept down at these low figures de-
pends upon the strength of the different
companies to carry on their competition
at losing prices"

COlOring Leaf Tobacco.

Amethod for altering colorless tobacco to a
color that will make 1t sllable, is claimed to
have recently been discovered by ST. Louis
splAcconist. If, as is claimed by the dis
saossrer, eoloriess or spoiled leaf tobacco can
Dr. thus changed 20 its natural brown shade,
and to all appearances make undistinguish-
able from Havana, important results may be
Dooked for. As a means OF profit the method,
V2nless excessively costly, is Of no meagre &C.
cvslnt
at the present time colorless tobacco can
Do readily purchased from eight TO twelve
cents per pound, while the sound and per-
asG4 colors command sixty to eighty cents.
There have been a number of examinations of
tobacco after coming from the process, all the
reports of which favor the entire success of
Ms invention, as regards turning out a good
product from an article that would otherwise
have been worthless. The process Of trans
Aiming the tobacco requires about six hours,
and the method is kept secret, at least until
paient is obtained for the discovery.

BOTTLED Light.

Countless accidents, as every one knows,
arise from the use of matches. To obtain
hight without employing them, and SO with
Sut the danger of setting things on fire, an
ingenious continuance is now used by the
vatchmen Of Paris in all magazines where
explosive or intlammable materials are kept
Any one may easily make trial of it. Take
m oblopg phial OF the whitest and clearest
glass and put into it a piece OF phosphorus
about the size of pea.
Pour some olive oil, heated to the boiling
point, upon the phosphorus, fill the vial about
one-third, and then cork it tightly. To use
AIMS novel light remove the cork, allow the air
10 enter the vial and then recork it. The
empty space in the vial will become lumin.
oas, and the light will be equal to that of
lamp. When the light grows dim its power
san be increased by taking out the cork and
Allowing fresh supply of air to enter the
vial In winter it is sometimes necessary to
hoet the vial between the hands in order to
increase the fuidity Of the oil. The appa-
rssns thus prepared may be used for six
months.

The warning of the Washington Chronicle

Aeen apparent, that the President entertains
no friendly feeling toward the Secretary Of

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-Tbe reports in one
s,s the New York papers that our government
Aas asked the assistance of foreign nations TO
oornpose the d. fficui,ies in the Island Of Cuba
is without any warrant. The only grain OF
wheat in the bushel OF chaf is the fact that
Abe documents relating to Cuban affairs, In
siaai3g the Presidents message, have been
sent 10 foreign governments, as is usual 10
eases Of international disputes. But there Is
no intention On the part OF the administration
10 abandon the Monroe doctrine or to tolerate
aHy Enropedn intervention IN american
Affairs.
There il, however, very startling rumor
aaDat WHICH may involve the very gravest con-
sequences, and which explains, better than
my difficulty with Spain, the activity in naval
sEhirs and the declared impossibility OF cut
ting down the army and navy estimates. The
real q, fi,.ulty seems to be here Bismarck iS
xnxioas TO OBTAIN colonies aud create great

PORTO Rc0, and negotiations have been 10
progress between the German and Spanish
Government, with a view TO the Intervention
of The former in Cuban affairs, the price TO
Dc The cession to Germany of the Island OF
Porto Rico. This is the real cause OF the
mysterious furry which has recently taken
place In our army and navy affairs, and
have been at work for some time past to meet
AIMS ysry formidable state of affairs
STRICTLY speaking, the surrender OF Porto
Riec would not be a contravenilon OF the
Monroe doctrine as il was understood when
snaEciated but il would be the cause OF
grsaa deal OF em oarrassment to our govern
aaen. if so strong a military and naval power
Es Germany should gain foothold IN the (
Bess Indies 50 very near to our coast Inc
t2reg B,italn holding possessions IN proxlm-
aty to eur coast during the late war will be
Mrarsiagly remembered, and, in case OF an
,eiher l.tona trouble occurring, to have Ger

soYlUn5 disadvantage.
With Spain alono no trouble ia to be appre- |
hen6ed. Indeed everything is in process OF
a1pss,Iaen with that government in salts |

this intrigue of Bismarck to obtain posses |

The Power vi fiain Women.

Among women of exalted rank who have
been wanting in beauty are Margaret, of
Sweden Matilda, Empress of Germany ; and
Chrisiana of Sweden. Fulvia, wife of An
thony, had few personal charms !; nor had
Terentia wife of Cicero, if one m ay trust to
the mej ority OF historians but most Of these
have found some admirers among biographers
Neither Anne, OF Cleves, nor Catherine, of
Aragon, were good looking, still for while
they swayed the tickle heart of their blue
beard husband. Queen Anne was a dowdy,
gracelees woman ia her best days Cromwell's
wife was plain.
When Queen Anne of Bohemia, came to
England as bride, there was pageant at
Cheapsidc OF a castle with two towers, from
both sides of which ran fountains of wine.
and we are told that the beautiful girls who
blew gold leaf in the faces of the king and
queen caused the plain bride to look palmer;
yet she ma 70 her way in the good graces Of
the king and people. In France the gay and
pleasure-loving women have gained many
laurels. Madame de Stael is q memorable in
stance, though no one was moro conscious of
her personal defects. Even her name was a
power in itself. The great Napoleon conde-
scended to be so jealous of her influence that no
persuasion would induce him to allow her to
return to France.
Mile. De Lespinaisse, one of the most fas-
cinating women of her day, who exercised
marvellous influence on those around her,
was marked with smallpox. Nine. Geoffrin
was a plain woman. Nine. d'Epinay was
neither beautiful nor clever, but most attrac-
tive. Nine. De Mailly was the plainest woman
of the court. Maria Lezcinski, daughter Of
Stanislaus, King Of Poland, wife of Louis
XIV, was good but uninteresting; and that
famous Palatine princess, second wife Of
Philip, Duke of ADjou, brother of Louis
XIV, and mother of the Duke OF Orleans, the
Regent during Louis XVs minority-a woman
who exercised more sway than any other Of
her time-was coarse of feature, and so I'M
calmly that her large hands passed into
proverb. She was Of masculine habits, cling

not been advanced in consequence of sus-

Money Order Business with England.

WASHINGTON, Dec 2S.-The Post Office De-
partment has received cable dispatch from
the British Postmaster General, saying
"Money orders advised on lists from the
United States largely exceed the usual
amount Please remit 100000 on account :"
The unusually large balance is accounted for
as the result OF money orders sent for holiday
presents Twelve thousand pounds sterling
had been RENTED before the receipt Of the
telegram, and the balance will be liquidated
IN the ordinary course of business.
AFFAIRS IN MIssIssIppI.-One of the first
things to be done in Congress will probably
be call upon the Attorney General or Presi-

sent down by the Department of Justice to
examine into the condition of affairs in Mis-
sissippi. This report is still kept in the De-
partment of Justice, and is treated as private.
There can be no doubt that if it had sus-
tanned the allegations of Gov. Morton's recent
indictment against the people of Mississippi
he would have called for its publication. /
