The Formation of Coal.

In the swamps and bayous Of the moist
regions Of the South pure vegetable mat
ter, having the appearance and proper
ties of peat, may often be found In the
very act of accumulation. Itfrequently
occurs in immense beds, and it requires
no trained observation to see that, in adj
dition to the remains of the ordinary low
marsh plants, it is made up Of the ruins
and refuse of swamp-loving forest trees.
Now, all about the TANKS and spurs of
the Rocky mountains, with greater or
less intervals, from New Mexico to far
beyond the northern limits of the United
States, there are found beds of coal of
peculiar quality. This coal is covered up
with hardened mud containing shells and
bones OF aquatic animals, and everything
about it suggests that the coal-making
material was somehow sunk beneath the
waters of an old lake, and was buried un-
der the gradually-increasing bed Of mud
with which the old lake-basin was finally
filed. But the point of interest is this:
that in many places the Rocky mountain
coal has reacheda stage of decomposition
not so very much In advance of the hu-
mus and peatof our modern swamps and
bayous. We might, indeed, hesitate
about calling some portions of it coal at
all-for the original structure is almost
perfectly preserved-yet it must be adj
mitted that for the most part the decom-
position has advanced far enough to pro-
duce an article that deservedly ranks as
coal In the light of what may be OBJ
served going on In every favorably stu
ated swamp to-day, the source Of the
material and the method of accumulation
of the Rocky mountain coal can hardly
be doubtful. I need not weary you by
leading you step by step through all the
known coal fields that illustrate the diff
ferent stages in the process of coal for
nation. It will be sufficient to say that
perfect graduation may be traced from
the Ignite, as it is called, Of the Rocky
mountains to the purer and more perfect
coal of the Mississippi valley; and so.
even setting aside the internal evidence
of our Iowa coal, we are compelled to
believe that it is simply one of the terms
OF the same series to which the Ignite
and the peat belong, and that the initial
term of that series is to be looked for in
the living vegetation of modern marsh
and forest.-R. s. Calvin, in Popular
Science Monthly.

Noted Men Who Married Women Older
than Themselves.

Mohammed's wife was twenty years
older than her husband, and it is much
to the credit of the latter that he hon.
ored her to the last. He ascribed much
of his success to her assistance and in
fuence. John Howard, the philanthro-
pist, married out of gratitude a woman
who was equally his senior. She died
in few years. however, and his second
union was one of love. It was, how
ever, also dissolved by the death of his
wife, and then he devoted himself to
philanthropy. Napoleon's first wife,
Josephine, was his senior by six years,
being 80 at the time of their marriage,
while he was 25. It would have been
well for him had he valued her conjugaI
love, whose violation was the beginning
of his ruin. Aaron Burr also married q
widow, who, like Josephine, had two
children. Mrs. Burr was ten years older
than her husband, but the union was
very harmonious. She probably allowed
him that large liberty with the fair sex
to which he had been accustomed, and
thus avoided domestic quarrels. John
Wilkes, the famous London agitator Of
the last century, married lady who
was ten years his senior, but she was not
willing to overlook his Irregularities. and
hence obtained divorce.
Johnson, the photographer, married
the Widow Porter, who had a small
property. He was acquainted with the
family before the death of her husband,
and this helped in the matter Of court
ship. Mrs. Porter was 4S, while her
husband was only 81 at the time of the
wedding. The parties started horseback
for the place where the ceremony was to
be performed, and johnson thus de-
scribed the journey to Boswell: "Sr.
she has got into her head from old TO
mances that woman of spirit should
use her lover Like dog. At first she
told me I rode too fast and she could not
keep up with me, but when I Stacked
my pace she passed me and complained
that I Jagged. Twas not to be made the
slave of caprice, and therefore pushed
on till I was out of sight. When she got
to the destination I observed that she.
was in tears" johnson always mourned
the loss of his wife, and though he was
only 43 at the time of her death he
never married again. How often in his
subsequent writings he refers to his lost
companion in the most afectionate
manner.
When only Is Shakespeare was married
to Annie Hathaway, whose age was 25.
Six months from the wedding day the
first son was born to this ill-mated pair.
The husband and father had no means
of supporting family, and when the
latter had increased to the number of a
son and two daughters he fled to Lon
don. The deserted wife supported her
children as best she could, and twenty
years afterward her husband returned,
and by his subsequent conduct strove to
atone for his early error.

A Suitable Trio,

During the administration of Presi-
dent Jackson the deposits of the United
States in the State banks were removed.
This financial measure was followed by
widespread commercial disaster. All
was CONSERVATION, for hundreds of bust
ness houses toppled down. Meetings
were held to protest against the tPresi-
dents course, and numerous delegations
were sent to Washington to demonstrate
with the obstinate old General.
In New Bedford, it was suggested that
a delegation of three should be sent. An
old Quaker merchant, who had recently
failed, nominated himself, another mer-
chant, noted for long speeches. and a
third, remarkable for the ease with which
he could weep.

Born to Trouble.

We can never escape trouble; we are
born to affection, and we may depend
upon it, while we live in this world we
shall have it, though with intermissions !;
that is, in whatever state we are, we
shall find mixture of good and evil,
and, therefore, the true way to content
ment is to know how to receive these
certain vicissitudes OF Gfe-the returns
of good and evil-so as neither to be ex-
allied by the one. nor overthrow by the
other, but to bear ourselves toward

ard as little as may be. Every pleasure
has it's offsets once believe that fully,

Yesterday morning Glen Berry and

fray on Nevada street, in front of the

none of which took effect. 1t appears
that on Saturday night the two men had
an alteration over horse and buggy,
and Glen claims that COnsOn fired two
shots. Yesterday morning the two men
met again at the same place, and war
Of words commenced. Cons on finally
pulled and fired TWO shots, to which
Glenn responded by opening fusilade
ON his enemy, which caused him to
take to his heels rs fast as his pins
would furnish him transportation. Glenn
followed down the street, and fired five
shots, causing the dust to fly in all di-
rections, and creating q lively commo-
ton among the women Of the neigh
bJrhOOd. Finally COnsOn rounded a
corner and escaped unhurt. The two
men were arrested, but afterwards re-
leased on giving suitable bail. ConsOn
denies firing at all. The case will be
