A Woman's Duplicity.

THE San Francisco MaH says: Two
i years ago young man named Jas.
Halstead came from one of the New
England States to this city. He brought
q few hundred dollars with him, and for
some weeks after his arrival went from
office to office in search of employment.
The only friend he made here to whom
he told any of his history was an old
negro laundress, who was acquainted
with some of his people in the East.
Halstead disappeared suddenly, leaving
with this woman o small trunk and a
package of papers. Last week lady
called on this old laundress, who lives
on Broadway, near the corner of Powell
street, and said she was Halstead's sister,
and had been directed by him to call for
the trunk and papers. Mrs. Williams
handed over the trunk and the package,
believing the lady's representations to
be true.
Yesterday Halstead walked into the
house, and greeting her in friendly
manner, stated that he had just return
ed from the Sandwich Islands, where he
had been fortunate enough to make
money. Mrs. Williams told him that his
sister had come to see her, and that she
had turned over the trunk and papers to
her. He appeared to be very much dis
turbed at this, telling Mrs. Williams
that this woman, instead of being his
sister, was his step-mother, and was the
cause of his leaving the East. He then
told her the. following singular story,
which she communicated to the Mail re-
porter:
His father was a wealthy merchant of
Lowell, Mass, and when James left
school he was given the position of head
book-keeper in his office. His mother
had died when he was very young, and
a distant relative of his took the place
as housekeeper in his fathers establish
ment. She was young and attractive,
and between James Halstead and her
self an attachment sprung up. The old
gentleman did not seem to regard this
favorably, and finally sent his son to
another part of the State, to act there as

Wonderful If True.

A Masonic lodge In Indiana was pre-
sided over by Master who had an ex-
aggerated notion of discipline. One
night he met his lodge in called meeting
mot member absent) to instruct them
in the work. Teaching them the use of
the gavel, he had just called them up
with three knocks, when he leaned too
far back, fell through q window to the
ground - four stories = and broke his
neck. Picked up next morning he was
buried decently, but not Mason came
to the funeral. More strange still, not
Mason appeared any more in that viii
lage. 1t was inexplicable. Forty women
left widows, two hundred and twenty
children left orphans, eighty-four mer-
chants left in the lurch with unpaid
bills.
Twenty years after that, somebody
went up into the fourth story, broke
open the door and beheld the lodge, q
lodge of skeletons! Strange, but true,
they had strictly obeyed the orders of
the w. M, and waiting for the knocks
to seat them, starved to death. Each
was standing in an attitude of respect
full attention, /" looking to the east and
had no plying citizens taken them
down they would have been standing
there still.

agent of the firm. James corresppnded
With his sweetheart, and once or twice
visited her secretly In Lowell. And now
camea great SURPRISE. nsnHffH M4f
James Halstead received letter from
his father enclosing him several hun
dred dollars and making terrible charge
that he had been uttering forged checks,
and signing bis fathers name. The
young man went Indignantly 10 inquire
into this most unexpected accusation
and was confounded TO find his hand
writing 80 closely initiated that he re-
solved to leave and wait for time to clear
this mystery up. Since then he learned
that his finance was the guilty party.
After he came to California he received
q newspaper containing an account Of
his fathers marriage to this false and
dishonest woman. All her letters he
retained, scores of which were of u ma
ture to fasten the suspicion Of the for
gerry upon her, letters In which she i'm
plored him TO return to her, stating that
she had money enough for both, and
that she was willing to accompany him
to any part of the globe. These letters
she had travelled to California TO obtain
possession of.
Halstead has taken the advice of
prominent lawyer Of this city on the
matter, and Is going home to endeavor
to vlndlcate his reputation, and expose
the woman who has ruined him.

Naming a Bull.

There is an incident connected with
the recent visit of Henry Ward Beecher,
which the folks at the White House, up
to this time, have kept to themselves
but, too good for secrecy, it has leaked
out. 1t appears that when the dominic
besought Hayes to retain the collector of
Internal Revenue in Brooklyn, there
was present in the executive office an
ex-Congressman, from North Carolina,
named Smith. The President presented
the somewhat uncouth statesman to Mr..
Beecher.
" Beecher, Beecher, I" said Smith, ''not
Henry Ward Beecher ?"
"The selfsame, +" replied ecclesiastical
Henry.
Well, / do Declare" exclaimed
Smith, 81 am glad to see you. / never
saw you before, but 1 have read all
about you. / appreciate you. Why,
sir, do you know that 1 named nv
most promising Jersey bull after you ?''
This explosive announcement created
an effect which even the usual gravity
of Hayes could not overcome. He in
confidently broke out in laughter, in
which, although Beecher Joined, no one
seemed to think he quite relished it.

troduce stone coal up to that time had
resulted disnstrously.
Ten years afterward, however, Maurice
Wurts having secured possession Of the
land on which the discovery had been
made, Mr. Preston told him that the
coal was there. AT the time OF Mr.
Prestor's discovery the excitement about
stone coal and Its future was Just maxi
Ing itself apparent. General ignorance
prevailed regarding Its qualities, how
ever, and as the forests afforded abund-
ant material for fuel, and for making
charcoal for tile use of blacksmiths and
other artisans, the people did not have
any inclination to investigate the stories
about the unknown stone coal.
The first use of anthracite coal as
generator of heat known to have been
made was by blacksmith named Oba-
diah Gore, in his forge at the Wyoming
settlement, in 1863. Tradition says that
In 1850 party of Indians desiring n
gun-smith, who lived at Nazareth, to
repair their guns, and he telling them
that he was out of charcoal and they
would be compelled to wait several
weeks until he burned some, borrowed
bag from him and disappeared in the
forest. In q few hours they returned
with the bag fillediwith "black stones, I"
which they, to the smiths great sur
prise, "caused to ignite in the forge, and
create so intense fire that he was able
to repair the guns with great quick
ness" The Indians refused to tell
whence they procured the mysterious
fuel. The few natives who remained in
the Wyoming Valley when the white
settlers came into ii knew where there
were deposits Of this fuel, and Oba-
diah Gore, making good friends with
them, worked their secret unto himself,
learned the whereabouts of these "back
stones," and after many fruitless efforts
succeeded in utilizing them In his forge.
He taught other smiths the manner of
It's use, and news of the fact gradually
extended into the more remote settle
ments and to the city of Philadelphia.
In 1775 the Proprietary government sent
two Durham boats-boats used in trans
porting goods on the Delaware river, and
named from the place where they were
made-up the Susquehanna river to OBJ
tain coal for use in the forges, where
government fire arms were made. The
boats were loaded below where Pittston
now stands and were run to Harris
Ferry, since Harrisburg, where the coal
was transferred to wagons and carted to
Carlisle. This was the first shipment of
anthracite coal. The successful use that
was made of 1t, and the great benefit 1t
had been to the local artisans of the
Wyoming region, it would seem would
at once have made its value apparent to
the manufacturing interests of the coun-
try as well as to the public at large but
1t required the outlay of vast sums of
money and bitter struggle of nearly
half century with prejudice, ignorance
and ridicule, before the claims of anthra-
cite coal were recognized, and 1t came
forward to cause the greatest commercial
and industrial revolution the world ever
knew.
