The coal areas of the State o. Illinois are estimated
at about IS 900 square miles. large those of
either Pennsylvania Ohio, and constituting about
one-iith of the productive coal fields of the United

The Spring and Summer of the present year in the
United States, have been almost without precedent,
says the Philadelphia Foreign Mail, in the abundance
of pasturage and the production of milk, butter and
cheese consequences has been far above the
age. The unusual surplus of milk has lowered the
value OF butter and stimulated the cheese manufac-
ture to unusual degree. Throughout the west and
especially the far cheese factories have sprung
into existence like mushrooms, and the production
Of cheese has been increased about 80 per One
good result is expected from this production
this in the article of cheese in the probability
that the present low values will open foreign
markets, which will continue to their
moderate supply in future years. The peasantry of
Europe of necessity very frugal in their diet The
cheapest substitute for flesh is cheese, aud the
American factory system has so improved the quail
ty and increased the production of cheese, that it
bids fair to become worldwide food supply. Eng
land already imports it in immense quantities, and
at values it should find ready outlet in
many other markets.
We learn from Eastern exchanges of latest

The Emperor of Austria is sorely troubled over the
determined resistance of the Bosnans to the occupa-
ton of their territory by Austria, believing that the
difficulties he encounters is the direct result of the in
trigues of the Turks with the Bosniaus. The Turk
ish cabinet is heart opposed Austria's occupa-
ton of Bosnian territory, and infinitely prefers
to peace which takes away any control over prov
inces heretofore ruled by the Turks. This state of
things cannot last long without a rupture between
Austria and Turkey, which Russia would like to see
take place at any moment, because then Russia
would have some pretence to set aside the Berlin
Treaty, and strike out with vgor her eastern line
of policy.
Spain has issued a royal decree, ordering the re-

This constitutes the restoration of the right of ci-
Zenship TO all Cnbans who debarre that right
by former DEGREES of the home govern ment, and

more satisfied with their mutual political relations in
the future than they have been in the past.
