Anthracite Coal.

The recent mammoth sale of coal in
New York resulted in great reduction
in p-ices. This is good news for con-
sumers and bad news for miners. The
prices ranged from 50 to $3.50 per ton,
according to quality. The coal oper-
ators in Pennsylvania say the prices
brought will compel them to suspend
operations unless toll and labor can be
reduced to much lower figure than at
present, with the chances against them
even of great reductions, as the miners
will hardly submit to lower prices than
are now prevailing. The situation,
from their standpoint, seems TO have a
gloomy outlook for the fall and winter
trade.
For three or four years the price of
anthracite coal has been regulated and
fixed beyond variation by the producers.
They have had everything their own
way. There is none found outside of
Pennsylvania. Six companies own and
operate the mines. They fixed the max
10, ,OO0, 900 tons year. A year ago last
January the combination which had
been effected two years before was rem
dered complete and permanent, as was
supposed; but very soon disaffectior
began. Bad faith was practiced, bad
feeling engendered, and finally the
ring has gone to pieces. Whether the
break will be permanent or not is al
open question. Where monopoly il
possible, competition is rarely main
tanned for any considerable length OF
time. Chicago Journal.

Tales OF NV Grandmother.

Hoogley's boy has been spending his
summer vacation with his grandfather
and grandmother down East. He got
home this week, and few evenings
ago, while sitting on the curbstone ad-
justing rag on his sore heel, he was
telling Squeaky Zone of his chums) what
q good time he had. The following is
his story: "I've got the old boss
grandmother for tellin' stories, and don't
you forgit it She is as much as 200
years old, with great long crooked
chin, and her face kinder looks like
pork scraps, but she's bully old gal,
and can't she tell some awful Injun
stories. She says she's got three mat
tresses stuffed with Injun's hair that my
grandfather killed and scalped when he
was q yeung man. All of my grand
mothers pliers is stuffed with Injun's
hair, too, she says. My grandfather
he's got an old fintlock-gu gun that /
guess was made when Noer cum out in
the ark. My grandfather used to shoot
bears'n tigers'n elefunts'n II crockerdiles' n
all kinds of birds and everything. My
grandfather shot his gun inter lion or
wolf one day, and the wolf growed mad'n
run out of the woods'n run inter ma
ber's house'n swallered three little chill
dren. Ny grandfather he runs'n
grabbed the VIOLIN skinned him. n saved
the children fore they's ct up. Piruts
used to sail up the river in front of my
grardfather's house'n they used to rob
folks and murder 'em and git their
mummy; they used to murder a thou
sand folks q day sometimes and berry
the gold in a cave. My grandmother
was all alone one day, and sum piruts
cum and set the house afire, and my
grandmother throw'd bilin' water on the
piruts, and they left four millions of
gold and run off. You ought to see my
grandmother and hear her tell things !"

Ferocious Bees.

A pair of horses, valued at 500, -
longing to DIR. Webb, of Boouton, N.
J.. were attacked by bees few days ase,
and were SO fearfully stung that they
died. The day was very warm, and IL
animals perspired profusely. On pass-
ing by six or seven hives, it is supposed
the odor from the horses offended tha
the bees, for they attacked the animals
in swarms. The driver tried to unhiteA
the horses, but was unable 10 do 80 IN
consequence of their plunging and kick
ing. He then went for assistance, and
returned with long gloves on his hands
and his head covered with several fol1s
of mosquito netting. He had 10 scrxpe
the bees from the horses with his banda.
and finally got the horses away, but sub
sequently they died. The rage of the
bees still continued, and on the follow
ing day they attacked the owners housa.

ure-Some Interesting Figures.
From the Scientific Americana
In discussing the results of the tables
of measurement of drafted and enlisted
men, prepared from the records Of the
Provost Marshal Generals Bureau, made
during the late war, DR.. Baxter remarks
that probably no question of anthropolo-
gy has been more debated and none left
in more unsatisfactory condition than
that of the mean stature of the full
grown man. The reason for this he finds
principally in the confused manner in
which measurements have been pre-
pared for the purpose. flights of
young and old, of men of widely differ
ing nativities, of picked men, such as
soldiers and militia, of men and women,
of students under the age of full growth !;
of convicts, class generally below the
mean hight of their countrymen; of
men measured in shoes and men meas
ured without shoes, have been compared
together in tables pretending to exhibit
scientific conclusionsl
The half million sets of measurements,
from which the conclusions to be sum-
med up in this article were derived, are
open to none of these objections. They
were actual measurements, not guesses.
They were measurements taken with O
reasonable exercise of care by surgeons
sworn to do their duty, furnished with
needful aids and appliances, and without
object or interest in evading or sighting
their official instructions. And the rec
ords include the measurements OF re-
jected as we'll as of accepted men, so that
they fairly represent, not picked por-
ton of the men of the country, but the
whole.
It is proper to observe here that the
measurements made use of in this report
were chiefly those of men examined to-
ward the latter part of the war, after the
finest fighting material of the country
had been enlisted; consequently they
under rather than overstate the average
development of the American people.
1t was time, too, when large bounties
invited many of the better class of for
eigners to enter our service; q partial ex-
PLANTATION, perhaps, of the fact that in
every instance the mean hight of our
foreign-born soldiers was above that OF
the nation represented. Under such
circumstances, it is gratifying to see that
the first rank in stature is won by
our native Americans, somewhat
discouraging circumstance to those
who assert that our country and
climate are destructive to the white race.
Curiously, the list is headed by small
number of aboriginal Indians. DR..
Baxter is OF opinion that this is not due
to their being picked men, but to the
fact that the Indians are really a tall
race. In Mr.. Gould's tables of statistics,
gathered by the Sanitary Commission,
SIT Indians show mean height con-
siderably above that of the following
table. If compared with the natives of
the United States only, the Indians Zen.

in truth he had found some one whom
he loved more, and consequently would
make him happier. Her resolution was
made. Her love was no use il it was
selfish.
Next morning she wrote to Montague,
asking for moments conversation that
afternoon. Then she went to Nellie's
home. She rather wondered at the ap-
pearance of the house, but fancied the
lady might only be staying there.
Blooming, blue-eyed Nell opened the
door, and Opal asked for Nellie.
"Why, 1 am Nellie. What do you
want 2"

given me up, as father said. And was

you will see him very soon."

him in, Miss -"
"Garthorn."
"Oh, you are his sister. How kind
of him to send for me and she trotted
away to try and smooth her golden hair.
When Opal arrived home with Nellie
she hurried her into the drawingroom,
and waited herself outside the door until
she heard Montague coming up. Then
she brought him into the room, saying,
"Montie, dear, 1 have brought your
little Nellie to you. You see have
found out your secret, and am so glad to
make you happy. Goodbye for the
present.
And with ringing laugh Opal ran up
stairs, only to throw herself on her bed
in paroxysm of grief.
In the drawing room Montague Gar
thorn was supremely happy with the
woman who he deemed loved him best.

Something in your eyes will shine

Tuning into sweet accord
All your bluntness will reveal

A TwO.Inch SNOW in memphis.

A strange phenomena was witnessed
in North Memphis this morning by hun
dreds Of people. It was snow two or
three inches deep, pure and white, just
as it fell 10 its virgin purity from the
clouds, while in all the rest Of the city
not a fake was TO be seen or had been
seen anywhere. Such occurrences are
very rare, but since Prof. Tice took
charge Of the weather bureau many re-
markable facts have been recorded, aud
we mention this as the more singular
because this is the frat snow seen in
Memphis this winter, and just before the
recent cold snap peach aud plum trees
were seen in full bloom and all vegetation
seemed q month ahead Of the season.
Lest North Memphis people doubt this
statement just because they happened
not TO see the snow, we will state that il
fell somewhere up the country and came
in on the morning passenger train, and
the weather being bitter cold, It may be
seer oil day and perhaps longer K ths
boys let II alone.
