JAMES Harlan, oil Iowa, formerly
United States Senator, and Secretary
Of the Interior under Lincoln and
Johnson, has recently published a
letter containing many interesting
political "reminiscences. He recalls
the fact that prior to 1855 no repub-.
lican or avowed "free soiler" was
ever given place on any of the i'm
portant standing committees in the
senate, on the ground that they did
not belong to any healthy political
organization; and even after Mr..
Harlan entered the senate in 1856,
and for two years later, it was diff
6cult for republican to obtain rec.
ognition on the committees, though
the republican minority numbered
among its members such men as
Benjamin F. Wade, William H.
Seward, Hamilton Fish, Hannibal
Hamlin and Lafayette S. Foster
three of whom afterward presided
over the senate and two of whom
a(terward filed the office OF secre-
tary Of state for eight years each.
Of sixty-four men who sat in the
senate in the session of 1SGO.G4, but
fifteen are now living, and only two
-Hamlin and Anthony-remain in
the senate. "And no one of the
senators of this PERIOD" says Mr..
Harlan, "who defended or apollo
gized for secession ever re. entered
as member"

the COAL TRADE.

The purchase Of the Seattle and
Walla Walla railroad, the Newcastle
coal mine, the four large sail vessels
and one steamer, and the building Of
three other steamers, requiring in
the aggregate the expenditure Of
two million dollars, must mean, says
the Seattle "Intelligencer," the do
ing of an enormous coal trade at
this point. The steamers can easily
make round trip every twenty
days, and as they carry 5000 tons
each, will aggregate six trips and
$4,000 tons per month. The four
vessels can carry the monthly aver.
age up to $4,000 tons, and report
further has it their number is to be
increased by three or four more pur-
chases, In 1880 more coal was
shipped from Seattle han iu any
year previous, and yet the whole
number Of tons was but l3S,497.
The steamers that are hereafter to
carry the bulk Of our coal are not on
the coast, but they will he before
the end of the current year. The
trade of 1881 will, there fore, be
somewhat restricted, compared with
the grand idea evidently in tho
minds of the new purchasers. The
exports of the year will probably be
under rather than over 100000 tons,
but even to put it at that figure, a
gain of over 10000 tons in a year is
an event upon which our people ale
to be congratulated. Mr.. Willard
and his associates evidently mean to
carry on the most extensive coal
mining operations on the Pacific
slope, and that they have The capital
and the best field for doing this,
there is no reasonable room for doul
The "Inteliigencer" says: The coal
underlying King county cannot be
estimated, but it is known that there
is enough to spare million or two
tons year for several centuries.
From this on its mining will be on
an ever increaing scale.

A Beautiful Little Story,

A few weeks since, in coming down the
North river, was seated in the cabin of the
magnificent steamer, Isaac Newton, in con-
versaton with friends. 1t was growing late
in the evening, and one after another, seek
ing repose from the cares and tolls of the
day, made preparation to retire to the berths.
Some, pulling off their boots and coats, lay
themselves down to rest; others, in the at
tempt to make it seem as much like home as
possible, threw off more of their clothing
each one as their comfort or apprehension
of danger dictated.
had noticed on deck fine looking boy,
ofabout six years of age, following around a
man, evidently his father, whose appearance
indicated him to be foreigner, probably a
German-a man of medium hight, and res
pectable dress. The child was unusually fair
and tine-looking, with an intelligent and
atfectonate expression of countenance; and
from under his German cap fell chestnut hair
in thick clustering curls.
After walking about for n time, the father
and son stopped within few feet of where we
were seated, and began preparations for going
to bed. watched them. The father adjusted
and arranged the bed the child was to &C.
cupy, which was an upper berth, while the
little fellow undrcssed himself Having
finished this, his father tied handkerchief
around his head, to protect his curls, which
looked as if the sunlight from his young,
happy heart rested there. This done, look
ed for him to seek his resting place, but in
stead of this he quietly kneeled down
upon the floor, put his hands together, so
beautifully childlike and simple, resting his
arms on the lower berth, against which he
knelt he began his vesper prayer.
The father sat down by his side, and wait.
ed the conclusion. 1t was, for a child, long
prayer, but well understood. l could hear
the murmuring of his sweet voice, but could
not distinguish the words he spoke. There
were men around him, Christian men, retiring
to rest without prayer or if praying at all,
kind of mental desire for protection, with
out sufficient courage or picty to kncel down
in steamboats, cabin, and before strangers,
acknowledge the goodness of God, or ask
His protecting love.
This was the training of some pious mo-
ther. Where was she now? How many
times had her kind hand been laid on the sun

A Rat In the Telegraph Service.

A telegraph inspector recently pressed into
his service rat under the following peculiar
circumstances
1t was necessary to overhaul cable of
wires inclosed in iron tubes. A certain
length Of cable had to be taken out of the
tube, and the man commenced hauling at one
end without having taken the precaution to
attach to the other wire by which it might
be drawn back into the tube after inspection
and repairs. The question arose how the
cable was to be restored to its proper place,
and here the ingenuity of the inspector was
manifested.
He invoked the aid of rat catcher, and
provided with a large rat, u ferret and ball
of string wound round on Morse paper drum
he repaired to the opening in the tube.
The flush boxes" were opened, and the
rat, with one end of the string attached to
his body, was put into the pipe. He scam
pered away at racing pace, dragging the
Irvine with him until he reached the middle
of the length of pipe, and there stopped.
The ferret was then put in, and of went
the rat again until he sprang out of the next
flush box. One length of the cable was thus
safe, and the same operation was commenced
with the other; but the rat stopped short
few yards in the pipe and boldly awaited the
approach of the ferret. A sharp combat
here commenced, and it was feared that one
or both of the animals would die in the pipe
But, after shndry violent jerks had been given
to the string the combatanls separated the
ferret returned to his master, and the rat,
making for the other extremity of the pipe,
carried the string right through, and so re.
leved the inspector from his anxiety.
