900 tons the bituminous coal of that province
100000, the province of Human 100000,
Shantung 200 600, and Chill 10000. Exact
statistics would evidently increase the total
quantity. All the eighteen provinces contain
coal; and although the extont OF the coal fields
aud the age and quality oil the coal vary. yet
China may now be regarded as one OF the hrst coal
countries Of tho world. Evidently the area OF
tho cool fields Of China exceeds the wonderful
extent OF those Of North America, aud wlth
the greatest OF thcm---that OF Shansl--nO other
coal region can bo compared iii tho union OF the
most fortunate conditions as regards position,
quality and quantity, all the more that. along
with the coal, brown iron orc is found 10 great
quantity. With yearly output OF 800, ,O0O,OO0
tons could this extensive bed Of anthracite GOV
or the whole present demand OF the world Tor
24OO years; but the working Of the Chinese coal
fields is yet so much in its infancy that the out

circumstances is only equal to about one
fifteenth Of the ooal production OF Germany or
the United States. Kichthoen-and no one

''Dead on the Field Of
HOnOr.s,

Ine terrible news from the lD-
fected districts comes 10 us with
one glimpse Of chez: fitness and
hope-the conduct of the noble
men, both white and black, who
have gone to nurse the sick. We
want OuI readers TO stop just for
one moment anf look at this
matter. These nurses, who have
gone ont of the pure air Of their
own homes to the plague stricken
towns, to handle and tenderly
care for dead and dying men who
are utter strangers to them, need
a higher courage than any soldier
marching into the thick of bat.
tie. They gain nothing, neither
pay nor glory. Their victories are
2ot watched by proud country
for whose honor they give their
lives. If they die, no weeping ma
ton will year hy year hang lau-
rels on their graves. The Howard
nurse is only mentioned in the
papers as zone of twenty FIVE" ar
irving on such date, or ''One Of
twenty" who are dead. His name
nobody knows. II he falls, bis
friends only learn Of it because he
fails to return. There is no hurst
of battle cry or martial music to
cheer his soul in his last strug-
gle with death in the future
there is to be no roll l.call ut u
victorious army, with the proud
answer to his name, i" Dead upon
the field of homer" He gives his
life for some poor plague stricken
wretch, probably Of less value to
the world than himself, in the
poisoned air of q solitary chamber,
where there is none but G0d to
know. He ia buried hastily in
nameless grave, with shuddering
aud fear, and quickline is throw
upon his body. This sacrifice he
makes out Of pure love to God
and humanity aud this sacrifice
is now making, not by one man,
but by every one of the hundreds
of nurses sent out by the Howard
Association. Every one OF them
carries his life in his hand as he
goes. . g..
These men, too, he it remember
ed, are SOuthcrners- the people
whom We regarded as our enc.
mics not long ago, and whom we
are very apt still to regard ~
impracticable, idle and quarrel
some. 1t is worth our while to
consider this thing. The uewspa.
pers lately have contained more
than the usual amount Of crime
and nastiness. Neither foreign
! politics nor our domestic records
have been calculated to raise oul
belief in the nobility of human
nature or to suggest fresh watch
words of cheer to the world. 1t il
something to know that in 0ul
own country, among the people
Of the very State which We have
believed given over to ';Orrup
tion and fraud, a noble deed is
I done with a motlesty aud siienc,
; which makes it all the uObleI. -.
