The finding of coal in the Montell
g. Co. mine will soon be fact. We
are glad to learn in addition that it is
Mr.. Montell's intention 10 employ the
residents of this section when more
hands are needed. To many who are
unemployed this will be great boon,
and we commend the design as good.
He will thus secure not only deserv-
ing, but reliable and industrious men.
CONSIDERABLE Improvement has
been added to Mr.. Frank G. Beall's
hardware store by Mr.. James Fl
Hawke, painter. Indeed, there is a
variety of ornamental work Tut upon
the old building, and the change for

The Canton River.

Of all the extraordinary scenes which
can be witnessed, says Bayard Taylor,
nothing can be more surprising or
astounding to the European than the
appearance of the Canton river; for let
him have travelled "far and wide"
nought can give him an idea of the
scene but oecular demonstrate Myriads
of boats float on the waters; some de-
voted to handicraft men of all descrip-
tions; others to retailers of edibles.

who give vent to their excited feelings
by uttering sundry and divers ejacula-
tons not particularly complimentary to
the good seamanship of the natives, nor
expressive Of kindly feelings towards
them. Flower boats, and others belong

merchants. poultry and sand-pans are
wedged together in one solid mass,
apparently impenetrable; while the
air is filled and the ear stunted with the
deafening sound of gongs and wind
instruments, discoursing most unearthly
music, accompanied by the yelling,
screaming, Cabling and clamor Of hun
dreds of thousands of human tongues,
producing hodge-podge of sounds un-
Fiyaled and unequalled since the build
ing of the Tower of Babel. As there is
no part OF the world so densely popu-
lated as China, so there is no part of
China so thickly populated as Canton !;
the population of the city of Canton and
its suburbs being estimated at above one
million; and the denizens of the river,
who habitually reside in their boats, are
said to exceed two hundred thousand.

The Chinese.

There are said to be four thousand
characters used in the Chinese Bible,
but Of these not more than one-third of
the number are in constant use. About
one-ffth of the latter number, from their
frequent occurrence, constitute the great
body of the Bible. Five-sixths of the
entire work is made up of one-eighth of
the whole number of characters. Of the
vast population of that densely crowded
empire, women and children constitute
a large proportion, and these cannot
read. In the country districts not more
than ope-third of the males can read,
and perhaps not more than one-ffth.
In the city it is estimated that seven
tenths of the males are readers; so that,
on the whole, the male population may
be regarded as a reading people. Ac-
cording to late statistics, there is one
missionary in China to every two mil
lions of its four hundred millions of in
habitants The number of Christians in
China is now increasing six-fold every
:ecade.

The cranberrr as a HOUSE Plant.

The common cranberry is a most
attractive plant when properly cultivated
in pots, and can endure good deal of
neglect which would be fatal to other
plants. A compost of muck and sand
Is the proper material for potting it in.
Although usually regarded as aquatic in
its nature, it will not do to have the soil
saturated with water. What it requires
Is that water be within reach of its
roots, and that the soil shall be one
capillary attraction. Let the pot stand in in
about am inch of water and it will
thrive better than at any greater depth.
The cranberry roots readily from cut
tings, or it can be propagated by bend
ing down the sprays ana covering baan{li fGait nt
ali times of the year, and especially so
rfter the fruit commences to ripen. Its
red ,,a berries will remain on the vine for
a long time and are highly ornamental

island from which, in the stiffness of the

sound is tie beating OF the waves on the
"shingle," or large pebbles Inning the
shore. Along the northern coast of the
island there Is long low cliff of fine
grained, compact limestone, which under
the stroke of the hammer, clinks like
steel. The waves beating on the shore
at the foot of the cliff cause the fallen.

to give out sound resemblingthes sound
of distant church bells. The phenome-
non occurs when the gales blow from

The Hottest Spot on Earth.

earth is along the Persian Gulf, where
little or no rain falls. At Bahrin the
arid shore has no fresh water, yet COM

triyes to live there, thanks to copious
springs which burst forth from the
bottom of the sea. The fresh water is
got by diving. The diver sitting in his
boat winds great goat-slkin bag around
his left arm, the hand grasping its
mouth; then he takes in his right hand
a heavy stone, to which is attached a
strong line, and thus equipped he
Plunges in and quickly reaches the
bottom. Instantly opening the bag,
over the strong jet of fresh water, he
springs up the ascending current, at the

In again. The source of these copious
submarine springs is thought to be the
