PRODUCTION OF CoAL.-The pro-
duction of coal by the whole world,
says M. Simonin, the celebrated
French mining engineer, is 100000
600 tons, which, at the rate CT Sl.75
ton, the average value at the pit Is
mouth, represents about $600,000,0o0,
or three times the value of all the
silver in the world. Of this quantity,
England produces one-half and the
United States 100000 tons; then in
order of their output comes Germany,
France and Belgium. China will pro-
.duce more coal than England as soon
as all her rich deposits are properly
worked. 1t is calculated that all the
coal in the world will be exhausted
in eight hundred to one thousand
years; but before that time, the suns
heat, which originally produced the
coal, Will probably, Judging from the
success attending M. Monchot's efforts
IN Algeria, DO used direct as the
motive power.

RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED TO
THE GEORGES CREEK MINERS.
BY CHARLES SULLIVAN.
A miners life is full of strife
With danger all around,
Still he works where danger turks
Far, far beneath the ground
He little knows, as in he goes
To earn his daily bread
In those dark halls midst deadly falls,
He'll be numbered with the dead.
Still he's there with deadly air
And rotten roof contending;
He often stops to watch the props
The weight above is bending;
With firmer grip and frightened lip
He makes the black dust fly,
To me it seems he little dreams
OF the danger that is nigh.
With strokes so quick he sinks his pick
In the solid breast before him.
The sweat does roll SO does the coal,
While the room with dust looks dim
The shovel rings as he quickly sings
His slack in the bed of the car,
Then doesn't stop but builds top,
And his work is partly DER.
When props are set he don't forget
To see they're straight and solid;
Sometimes the weight is awful great
For solid props to hold 1T;
Still with care and judgment fair,
His timber holds mountain,
But by degrees the miner sees
His danger very plain.
Oh, what din when 1t comes in
That awful rumbling sound;
None can tell one half as well
As those beneath the ground;
The fearful crash, oh, what a smash
AZ props are torn asunder,
The slate and coal and rock do roll
Like peals OF heavy thunder.
Like heavy guns those tons and tons
Ofbreaking rock are pealing,
l tell you, boys, this is the noise
That stirs up all your feeling;
The anxious looks in these dark hooks
As they listen to the falling,
Butthey.never swerve these men of nerve
Though the danger be appalling.
So now to end, good luck attend
These toilers Of the mines
My humble prayer It's only fair
"That Home above he finds
Yes, God above, send down your love
On these Woodworking men,
And when at last LIES journey past
Give them place in heaven.

To all Christians it is time OF glad
ness. / am glad the years are going.
You are coming on nearer home, Let
your countenanCe light up with the hope
that you are, Nearer Home!
In 1885 the French resolved that hey
would have at Ghent such musical de-
monstration as had never before been
heard of. 1t would be made up OF the
chimes of bells and the discharge OF can
non. The experiment was perfect sue
cess. What, with the ringing OF bells
and the report of the ordinance, the city
trembled, and the hills shook with the
triumphal march that was as strange as
1t was triumphant and overwhelming
But, my hearer, with what a glorious
accompaniment will Gods dear and re-
deemed children 90 into their high resi-.
denCe, when the trumpet shall sound az
the last day. At the signal given the
bell of the towers, and churches, and
cathedrals and of the cities will strike
their sweetness into chime that shall
ring into the heavens and float of upon
the sea; ioined by the boom OF bursting
mine and magazine, augmented by all
the towers of heaven, the harmoniess OF
earth, and the symphonies of the celes
tial realm, making up one grand trium,
phal march, fit to celebrate the ascent
of the redeemed to where they shall live
and shine forever and forever. With
antiCipations like these we can look into
the past without single regret for the
fleeting years, and forward with comfort
to the time when the archangel. with
one foot on the sea and the other on the
land, shall swear by Him that liveth
forever and forever.

UNEAs1NEss IN MONEY CIRCLES.

The suggestion of Secretary Sherman
and President Hayes to tamper with the
silver dollar, in the face of the fact that
the Republicans fought the late cam
paign on the mo change" idea, has sent
a sensation of uneasiness throughout the
money circles of the country according
to the Pittsburgh CommerCial-Gszette:
The proposition to raise the silver dol.
lar to the gold standard, according to ad-
vices at the Treasury Department, is
causing decided uDeasiness in money
circles throughout the country. In a
number of instances banks have refused
to take them, to the great inconvenience
and insecurity of business meu OF all
classes. The objection to the silver dol.
lar is, that the passage Of bill increas'
ing the number of grains in new coin
would at once depreciate the current
value Of the present coin, and would
thus entail large losses upon business
men and the people generally, especially
farmers, who usually keep their surplus
funds in coin near them. Incidental to
this Is the prospective depreciation of
the silver certificates. 1t is claimed if
the standard dollar depreCiates, the Ger.
tificate payable in standard silver dollars
will do the same. Should any legisla-
ton be undertaken concerning the in
trinsiC value of the silver dollar, it is
proposed at tx Treasury Department to
request that a provision be incorporated
in the bill legsliztng the certificates fol
the new coin. They claim that as it is
simply a Ger iicate of Indebtedness, and
has no intrinsic value, this can be done
by legislation.

ers in each case.

terg in each case.
As to the Fortune Bay affair, Earl
Granville admits that the Newfoundland
fishermen acted contrary to law, took
the law into their own hands, and in do
ing 80 their conduct was quite indeten-
sible, and for the destruction OF their
nets the American fishermen are enti-
tied to compensation. In this respect
the views of Earl Granville differ from
those of his predecessors, who refused
compensation on the ground that the
American fishermen we're fishing in a
manner forbidden by the laws Of New
foundland. This Earl Granville recog-
nizes, but, according to his view, the
property in the nets could only have
been lost by the execution of the law by
those appointed for the purpose. We
have no doubt he is right. 1t would in
deed be a dangerous thing to allow an
authorized body Of men or mob to eE-
force regulations against citiz9ns OF an
other country who are acting under
what they claim to be treaty rights But
Earl Granville is not willing to indemni-
fly the fishermen for loss of fish which,
had their meta remained, would have
been caught in contravention of the
laws of Newfoundland, and which, un.
der the treaty of Washington, they were
not entitled to take. The dispatch
shows that the Foreign Secretary has
we'll considered the whole case. His
conclusions will uphold the rights of the
Legislature of Newfoundland, and at the
same time tend to prevent unauthorized
bodies of men from taking the law into
their own hands.

THE EASTERN SHORE AND ITS
MANY ADVANTAGES.

A gentleman from Massachusetts who
has been farming in Caroline county,
Md, for several years, writes as follows
from fredericksburg, in said county, to
the Northampton, Mass, Gazette:
81 have now resided twenty years in
the Sou h. l am acquainted with both
soil and climate in Massachusetts, New
York and some the territories. After
the most careful observation, am fully
persuaded that the cry of Westward,
Hop will soon cease to be the watchword
of Northern emigration. The attractive
lands of the West were long ago taken
up. The rigorous climate of Wisconsin
and Minnesota is driving their inhabit-
ants South. The long, dreary solitude
of winter OH the plains of west Minna'
sofa is unbearable. Even Iowa and Ne
braska have their intolerable prairie
winds two thirds of the year. Invalids
from lower Illinois come to Eastern
Maryland to recover their health. The
wOrnout lands along the seaboard are
being rapidly reclaimed. Within he
last three years many farms in this i'm
mediate neighborhood, fredericksburg,
have doubled their product. Twenty
five bushels of wheat to the acre is no
uncommon yield with the good farmer.
/ will give you the results Of tue season
on some of the nearest farms: Messrs,
Goslin Bros, harvested this year from
twenty acres a little over nine hundred
bushels Of corr; on twenty acrsS Of
wheat land, five hundred bushels wheat.
A committee Of four citizens harvested
from one acre of land of VIM Goslin,
eighty-nine and a half bushels shelled
corn. A neighbor harvested over seven
hundred bushels of corn from twenty
acres. Other farms, managed well, give
like results. You are well aware of the
value of the peach crop of both Della
ware and Maryland. But we are begin
ming to learn that the sureat profit is our
grain crops. With Baltimore just at
hand leading her thousand vessels to
feed the starving mi lions of the old
world we shall always have the best
grain market in the country. The ease
with which our lands are TILED; the bet
ter properties of our sol for resisting
drought, and the loNg seasons we have
for farm work, enable Us TO compete
with estern wheat growers. These are
facts Northern people ought to know
Thirty years on the bleak hills of west
est Massachusetts give me an instructive
dread of your winters. | write out of
sympathy for your shivering thousands.
Come South, you disContented farmers.
Come here, you machine men, and make
our peach baskets, our pine pals, our
tubs and all manner of merchandise; you
invalids, you consumptives, come to the
land of warm sunshine, Of mild winter,
of salt invigorating air; come where the
lease of heightened life is assured"

THE FISHERIES QUESTION.

We have at last before us the text Of
Lord Granvi!le'5 dispatch to Secretary
Evarts relating to the fisheries dispute.
The position taken by Lord Granville is
not at all what the Toronto Mail and
other conservative newspapers repre-
rented it to be. It is an exceedingly
we'll written document, temperate in its
language; but clearly upholding the
rights OF the Province tolegislate within
reasonable limits.
The Earl Granville says he does not
admit that the Fishery Rights Of the
United States are to be exercised wholly
free from restraints and regulations Of
Provincial Statutes, :. But he does NOT
pretend that there could not be Provin-
cial Regulations wholly atvsriance with
the rights Of the United States under the
treaty Of Washington. The Earl Gran
vile maintains that the Treaty Of Wash
ington does not and was not intended Il
derogate from the sovereign authority o
either country over those waters belong
ing to it in which the other has a righ
to fish. He proposes TO Secretary Ev
arts, with view Of avoiding future die
cusaion, to establish regulations applica
BILE to the waters to which the Treaty 0
Washington applies, leaving the duty 0
enacting and enforcing such regulation
