A district of one hundred miles
square In Ohio, including the cOun-
ties of Athens, Perry and Hockings,
Is the future coal field of this nation.
1t is to be the black country OF
the United States, as the noted dis
trict in Stahordshire Is the black
country" OF Great Britain. This
district has twenty-five feet nf solid
coal I'm five seams. The great vein
is in places twelve feet thick, and
nowhere less than ak feet. Min
gled among the coal beds are mex
haustibIe beds OfirOn. The thickest
is five feet deep at the Outcrop; the
thinnest, in places, sinks To six
inches. There is no regularity in
the thickness Of either seam. The
coal, on the contrary, may be said
to run from hill To hill with perfect
uniformity. Limestone Is also pre-
ent in enormous quantities.

for being thus unwilling to uphold
| the letter of their old engagements.
Circumstances had altered on all
sides, and they were compelled to
act with reserve. But our position
in the East had not ceased
to be of vital importance to
our Empire; and if we are
left face to face with Russia and the
Porte in respect to Asiatic Turkey,
we cannot be deemed disrespectful
to our old allies in making provis-
ion for our own security. So far as
the French have special interests
and sympathieS in the East, our
conduct shows that we have scru-
pulOusly respected them. We have
resisted repeated invitations to
establish political predominanee
in Egypt, and we have abstained
from any direct interference in
Syria. We have preferred an occu-
patton which assures our military
position, and enables us to exercise
the necessary authority in Turkey
without interfering with the tradi-
tlOnal claims of France or with the
established rights of any other
Power. We have done, in short.
what was necessary for the protec-
ton of our Eastern Empire, and |
nothing more, and we may conf |
IDENTIFY rely on the friendly and inn
partial Judgment of the French |
people to appreciate our motives
and the real bearings of our policy. /
The Congress itself rapidly ap-
proaches its close. In yesterdays
sitting it concluded the reading of
the treaty, and there is reason to be-
lleve that this momentOus document
Will be signed this week. Slight
have been made at the
last, and one or two useful decisions
have been taken. A financial COM
is to be organized for the
of the financial resour-
ces OF the Porte, and to take care
that the interests of the creditors of
Turkey are not ignored. A COM
is also appointed to investi-
gate the character of the insurrec-
ion in the RhOdope mountains:
and the protocols of the Congress
will embody its recommendation /
the enlargement of the {
rontiers of Greece. A task has still !
% be undertaken with respect to
European Turkey no less difficult
han that with respect to Asiatic, {
md it is satisfactory that the Con-
,ress has not neglected the difficult /
les which thus still remain to be
lealt with. But the great outlines |

Cast have been settled, and Europe {
nay contemplate the future of the {
Eastern question with less anxiety

A PHYSICIAN writes to young
men as follows "My profession has
thrown me among women of all
classes, and my experience teaches
me that heaven never gave man a
greater proof of his love than to
place woman here with him. My
advice is, go and propose to the
most sensible girl you know. IL
she accepts you, tell her how much
your income is, and from what
source derived and tell her you
will divide the last dollar with her,
and that you will love her with all
your heart into the bargain. And
then keep your promise. My word
for it, she will live within your in
come, and to your last hour you will
regret that you did not marry
sooner. Stop worrying about femi-
nine extravaganza and feminine un-
truth. Just you be true to her
love her sincerely, and more fond,
faithful, foolish slave you will never
meet anywhere. You will not de-
serve her, l know; but she will
never know it,"

Matters ut Madison.

MADISON, WIS, March II 1873
--EDs. DEMOCRAT We are now
in the rush. The Legislators are
determined to get through AS soon
IA possible without delay, and Of
course u large number ot bills arc
daily being acted upon. A great
many are being killed, but some
share bcttor fate. None Of
great Importance have come up
except perhaps ono or two.
The divorce bill came ur il the
house last week, and after 4 heat
cd debate Oh both sides, it was
killed. 1t provides that after
eight years Of insanity 4 divorce
shall be granted, TO either husband
or wife as the case he no. Our
most eminent physicians adlGit
that they cannot tell IN incurablc
from II durable case oI insanity.
ono ease was cited whore SO
called incurablc patient was cured
after beiae insane fifteen Years!
II would indeed lie sad II i divorced
wife under the provisions % the
bill should be cured. Surely we
should not grant a divorce on
account ui sickness or the like.
Any sano man can soo at once the
injustice Of this bill.
The bill pending relating to
compulsory education is certainly
II good one. Il provisions arc That
any parent having children undcr
fourteen years Old shall send them
to school III least twehr c.nsec-
utivo weeks i'll each Year. Thi,
bin, when it becomes Il law, will
supply want long needed by our

than the one authorizing a re-
asscmblage on April 18th.
The biennial session bill has
been killed; and in fact the killing
Of seems better for all concerned ;
for after it has passed both houses
it would have to 90 the governor
and then pass the next session Of
the legislature and then be voted
upon by the people in the shape
Of constitutional amendment.
The Madison people are SO strong
~ opposed to the measure that
there would be very little hope Of
it's standing the trying ordeal.
The Governors Reception on
Tuesday evening was q very bril-
liant affair, and being the last OF
the series Of gubcrnatorial recep-
tons, everybody with the least
grain Of high tone about his clothes
stepped in "to sec" the Gov.
The Poor "Man's Party" given
by the members Of the Assembly
on Friday night, was an immense
hit. The invitations demanded
cold clothes on this occasion, and
true to the spirit Of the tho thing
there was an abundance of those
articles, indeed your correspondent
did not for q moment imagine that
SO many old clothes could be I'm
carthed in Madison when there is
q tailor near the Park Hotel who
will make Il bran new suit Cor
eight dollars. On the whole the
party passed OIL in q very credit
able manner 70 all concerned.
Any amount of amnsomcnts.
in the theatrical line, have been
enjoyed by the Madisonians this
s a3on. 1'hc last has been the
'llyers Sisters combination" q
Thoroughbred colorad troupe, Of
the purcst water. Tho main part
Of their programme is singing,
which is very fine.
1t il said that mistakes will oc
cur in the best regulated families,
sometimes. We saw an in
stance TO prove tho truth of this,
one day last week. A man Of
haggard Appearance with a &c
cidcly hungry visagc him, stopped
up to the house of Mr.. IL. Ash
il Jacob street, lie gazed at the
door plate about five minutes and
then knocked gently. A woman
made her appearance and he asked
for something to eat. She shook
her head and was about to close
the door when lie said:
"What do keep your sign UP for
il you amt going TO stick to it?"
"rhat's our door plate" replied
the woman.
"Well give me plate of it;
don't il read it haas IL"
It WAS considerably less than y

Debts in India.

~,
The kowray family, patels OF Parnez,
were OF high consideration in the coun-
try. Twelve years ago the head OF the
family borrowed 200 rupees. He paid
3S6 rupees, was sued for the balance,
3S5 rupees, and the family estate, about
80 acres, sold, and he now works as
laborer. Balaji borrowed 8 rupees and
repaid 10 rupees. The creditor OBJ
tanned decree of so rupees and sold in
execution twelve bullocks and eighty
acres OF land, buying the property in
himself. Shirpati borrowed maund
of grain (worth at famine prices 4 ru-
pees) and returned it. Was dunned
for interest and compelled to pass a
bond for 10 rupees, bearing interest.
Again dunned, paid 10 rupees in cash

sued on this, and decree passed for
56 rupees, inclusive of costs and inter-
est. To avoid execution, has paid 22
rupees in cash and given a new
bond for As rupees. Jan, an
old widow, borrowed $50 rupees
many years ago for the wedding
of son since dead. Thirteen years
ago, for this debt she executed a mort
gage bond for 800 rupees, and gave
possession of her land, about forty
acres, with q well. The sauker has
had the entire product of the land ever
since, and will neither restore the land
nor give an account. Twenty Years ago
Andu borrowed IL rupees in cash and a
maund of grain. Has paid at different
times in liquidation 567 rupees, and has
executed many bonds, two of which,
for 875 rupees, are now outstanding.
The inquiries of the Commission throw
much light on the causes of this lament
able state of things. Foremost is the
entire unscrupulousness of the money
lenders, acting on the necessities, ig
norance and timidity of the peasants.
The instrument by which the former is
brought to bear on the latter is the
civil courts. The reason why the courts
act as so efficient an instrument for this
purpose appears to be threefold. The
procedure is such as to give the rich
man every advantage over the poor one,
the acute and unscrupulous over the
ignorant, and to make it practically
impossible for peasant to contest sue
cessfully any claim that an unprincipled
plaintiff may bring against him. The
law gives the judgment creditor lien,
not only on the crop and personal prop
erty, but on the implements of trade of
the debtor; not only on his implements,
but on his land; not only on his land,
but on his person and labor; never re-
lakes his hold till he has paid the utter
most farthing of debt constantly null
tiplying itself; and thus makes it prof
table to advance money on security
apparently Inadequate. Their training
and the system they administer make
the overworked Judges themselves apt
to regard law rather than justice; to
look to returns rather than to results;
to postpone to correct technical proce-
dure the investigation of truth.-Mne-

About Two Old Horses.

INmy neutrality-suspicious. barn.
ward stood an old-fashioned well, with
q long sweep or pole, by which the
bucket was pulled up. This well was
used entirely for the horses and cattle.
Grandfather had horse named Pete,
who would walk out of his stall every
morning, go to the well, take the pole,
by which the bucket was attached to
the well-sweep, between his teeth, and
thus pull up the bucket until it rested
on the shelf made for it. Then old
Pete would drink the water which he
had taken SO much pains to get.
But one Of my uncles had horse
even more knowing than old Pete
This horse was named Whitley. Every
Sunday morning, when the church-bell
rang, Uncle George would lead Whitley
out of his stall, harness him, drive him
to church, and tie him in a certain
shed, where he would stand quietly till
church was done.
After a while, Whitley grew so used
to this weekly performance, that when
the bells rang, he would walk out OF
his stall, and wait to be harnessed.
One Sunday morning, old Whitley. on
hearing the bells, walked oat Of his
stall as usual, and patiently waited for
Uncle George. But it happened that
uncle was sick that morning, and none
Of the family felt like going to church
Z / do not really know what Whitey's
thoughts were; but have no doubt

The Success OF Failnre.

Nothing succeeds so well as success;
at least that is the common opinion.
! But those familiar with biographies
know that not unfrequently nothing is
more successful than failure. An incl
dent in the life of Lord Tenterden, a
distinguished English Judge, illustrates
this apparent paradox.
In 1776, Charles Abbott, the son of a
barber, was ademure, prim lad, attend
ing the Kings school in Canterbury.
He was quite favorite with the clergy
men of the cathedral, who were his
fathers customers. Through their in
fluence the boy hoped to receive the
appointment of chorister in the cathe-
dral choir, in which there was vacant
place. The boyWho is so lucky as to
receive the appointment will be well
provided for, and in the course of time
his salary will be seventy pounds per
annum.
The lad had thickness of voice at
which the choir master shook his head,
adding thereby to the fathers nervous
ness. There was another boy trying
for the place, who was said to have an
exceedingly sweet-toned voice. Each
boy had his friends, and the humble
homes of Canterbury were divided as
to the merits of the two candidates.
On the third day, Charley chanted
before all the clergy of the cathedral
the Old Hundredth. Then the other boy
sang. He had sucked a new-laid egg
and was sustained by self-contidence.
He sung VITO such ease and compass as
to delight the judges.
In ten minutes after the trial Charley
ran into his fathers shop, and, sitting
down on the floor, sobbed out the news
his failure.
That failure was his first step in life's s
success.
Fifty years later, the Chief Justice of
England, accompanied by friend, at
tended service in Canterbury Cathedral.
When the service had ended, he said to
his friend
"Do you see that old man there
among the choristers? In him you be-
hold the only person eyer envied.
When at school in this town we were
candidates together for a chorister's
place. He obtained it, and if l had
gained my wish, he might have been
accompanying you as Chief Justice, and
pointing me out as his old school-fellow,
the singing man.
1t was Charley Abbott, the disap-
pointed barber's son, now Lord Ten
terden, who thus recalled his early
failure. 1t sent him back to school, and
as "poor scholar to Oxford. He
worked hard, and attained unto honor.
