The above specimens of coal, like al
other GOALS and ores whose analyses are
given i'll this report We're taken by our
selves from the places whence they are al
legged to be found, nor We're they specially
selected as apparently the best, but as rep
resentlng averages.
The above analyses so clearly proves that
your coal is more Of an anthracite, if pos
slbe, than that of Lykens Valley in Penn
sylyania, that we take the liberty of dis
carding for it any other name than that of
anthracite.
On page So Messrs. Booth &Garrett give
the following summary, which we com
mend to the careful consideration of Maio1
HotchkisS
lst. II IS q h9e anthracite that burns treeh
and treH.
End. SO far from its being small de-
poslt, we have shown that there are at
least three beds. Of from A to feet thick
ness, along a line of at least miles.
3rd. 1t is shattered like all coal near its
outcrop in a disturbed region, but to call
it therefore all shattered, is as shallow a
remark rs the depth of the shattered por-
tions from the outcrop, for we have seen
solid planecleavaged coal within a few
feet OF the outcrop in your mines.
Your anthracite IS excellent IN qatality, and
abundant IN quantity, for all domestic pur-
poses and manufacturing operations, and
its movement eastward will draw heavily
on the transporting power of your road. .
Major Hotchkiss in his report also re-
fers to the report of r. B. Osborne, con-
sulting engineer. On page 50 Mr.. Osborne
says:
These coal lands | am from my explora-
lions conyersant with. | have seen the
openings made in 1875 to test the coal, the
quality and quantity of which from the
reports OF the experts as well as from per-
sonal observation, believe to be a pure an
Hfdcite and abundant. It's form and con
slstency demonstrate, unquestionably, that
Il as q pure anthracite
But why pursue this subject further
the reader has Major Hotchkiss reported
atter-dinner speech as published in the
Stna OF Baltimore, and sufficient extracts
from his official report to the Royal Land
Company. 1t will doubtless be mighty
interesting reading to all your readers,
and possibly no one will see the answer to
the conltndrnm quicker than Major Hotch-
kiss.

THE SUN.
NEW YORK, SS3

MORE people have read The Sun DUR
Nl ing the year just now passing than
eyss before since it was first printed. No
other newspaper published on this side of
the earth has been bought and read in any
year by 30 many men and women.
We are credibly informed that people
buy, read and like THE Sun for the follow
ing reasons, among others:
Because Its news columns present in at
tractiye form and with the greatest posi-
BILE accuracy whatever has interest for
humankind; the events, the deeds and
misdeeds, tho wisdom, the philosophy, the
notable folly, the solid sense, the improv-
ing nonsense--all the news OF the busiest
world at present revolving in space.
Because people have learned that in its
remarks concering persons and affairs The
Sun makes practice OF telling them the
exact truth to the best of its ability three
hundred and sixty-tiye days in the year,
before election as well rs after, about the
whales as well as the small fish, in the face
of dissent as plainly and fearlessly as when
supported by general approval. The SUN
has absolutely no purposes to serve, save
the information of it's readers and the fur
thersnce of the common good.
Because it is everybody's newspaper.
No man is so humble that The SUN is in
different to his welfare and his rights. No
man is so rich that it can allow injustice
to be done him. No man, no ASSOCIATION
of men, is powerful enough to be exempt
from the strict application OF its principles
Of right and wrong.
Because in politics it has fought for
dozen years, without intermission and
sometimes almost alone among -newspa-
pers, the fight that has resulted in the re-
cent overwhelming popular verdict against
Robesonism and for honest government.
No matter what party is in power, THE
Sun stands and will continue to stand like
q rock for the interests OF the people
against the ambition of bosses, the en-
croachments of monopolists, and the dis
honest schemes OF public robbers.
All this is what We are told almost daily
by our friends. One man holds that The
Sun il the best religious newspaper ever
published, because its Christianity Is un-
diluted with cant. Another holds that 1t
10 the best Republican newspaper printed,
because it has already whipped half OF the
rascals out Of that party, and is proceed
ing against the other half with undimin-
ished ylgor. A third believes it to be the
best magazine Of general literature in eX-
istence, because its readers miss nothing
worthy of notice that is current in the
world of thought. So every friend of THE
SuN discovers one of its many sides that
appeals with particular force to his indi-
vidual liking. :,

-An old cigar Merchant on Men
aChO Smoke.


It's twenty years, saida cigar deal
er, now since l began to sell tobacco,
and in that time I have closely studied
the character of my patrons, forming
my conclusions of the kind of the
company they keep. can always
tell by the kind of cigars they
smoke. An even-tempered, quiet fell
low never goes to an extreme in choos-
ing cigar. A nervous man wants
something strong and furious. A mild
man takes something that smokes and
nothing more. The same condition
runs through chewing tobacco. Then
there is great deal in the way men
handle their cigars. Very few smok g
on one side as we'll as the
other, Men come in here every
day, who have been smoking for thirty
years, and if they were to put cigar
on the wrong side Of the mouth they
appear as clumsy and green as boy
who was trying his first weed. The
muscles Of the face yecome sat to one
position. ANY change necessitates
reorganization of the face. So it ain't
by the way the cigar is embraced in
the mouth that you can estimate
man.
If man smokes his cigar only
enough to keep it lighted, aud relishas
taking it from between his lips to cast
a whiting curl of blue smoke into the
air, set him down as al easy :ng-
fellow, who cares little how the world
goes aud no more foi hnnssif He
has KEEN C. nception N d dylicate sen.
slblllties He vii. not crea trouble
but is apt to STE Il jut VIXEN it is
once begun.
Bew re OF the man vino never re-
le..ees Tie cigar irom lie grip Of his
teeth, ~ Is indifferent whe her it
burns OF dies. He il cool, calcuIat-
ing and exact!ng. Tie is leldpm sn.
ergeiic physically, bur lives easily oti
those who perform the work.
A man who smokes bit, reets a
bit and iumbles cigar more or less,
is apt to be easily affected by circum-
stances. He may be energetic, care
ful, generous and courageous, but he
is vacillating and liable to change on
a moments notice.
If the cigar goes out frequently the
man has whoe-souled disposition, is
a devil-may-care sort Of fellow, with
lively brain, a glib tongue, and gen.
orally a fine fund OF anecdotes and
yarns.
To hold the cigar in the mouth and
smoke iIdifferently is a lazy mans
habit. They are generally of little
force, and their characters are not of
the highest strata.
A nervous man, or one under ex-
citing influences, fuinbles his cigar a
great deal. He is kind of popin-
jay among men.
Holding the cigar constantly be-
tween the teeth, chewing it occasion,
ally, and not caring whether it has
been lighted or net, are characteristics
of men with the tenacity OF bulldogs.
They never forget anything and
never release hold.
A sop stands his cigar on end, and
an inexperienced smoker either points
it straight out OF at right angles with
his course.

TO THE MEMORY
Of my beloced Niece, tbs account Of ,chose
death reached me on the 18th inst, through
the MINING JOURNAL, Of Frost5ury, Md.
The rays of hope were bright, Mary,
That love and joy united
In bosoms pure of kindred dear,
To whom thou vert entrusted.
Blame them not, o angel bright.
If tears their cheeks do furrow;
When joy is changed to grief so soon
Oh, pardon them their sorrow.
Coursed in your veins their warm blood
Their impress in thy features;
To mourn for one 80 pure, so fair,
Is one of natures pleasures.
Ah, thou vert truly blas'd, dear child
By hand of God uplifted
To associate with Heavens Queen
To throne of God selected.
Nor should fond parents sigh for thee,
Though grieved they are not smited,
But Joined through thee to God on high
To heavens court united.
This glorious thought, in loving hearts
Will quell the pangs of sorrow,
Increase their thankfulness to God
On each recurring morrow.
For who that battles with life's trials
In exalted sphere lOwly,
That would not sacrifice his all
For cen one-half your glory?
Then adieu, adiou, o Mary dear;
Thou art not dead, but liveth,
Fond hearts will keep thy memory green
While thy soul in heav'n beameth.

cal fear and bribery are usually potent 1t Is
true. Under ordinary circumstances the fear
of the liquor interest and the prospect of profits
in gigantic whiskey speculation might have in
fluenced not a few voters. But the members
were influenced at the last session by strong
sense OF the popular Indignation which had
swept so many of them out of public life. 1t
did not seem safe to them to assume for the
GOvernmentthe cost of carrying free Of taxes all
the whiskey that tie dstllcrs might please to
store up, in The expectation that Democratic
Congress wOlld remove the tax altogether.
The effect of the refusal of Congress to help
them out is shown by the distillcrs in the great
reduction of production. During the COM
ing year, they state, Kentucky alone will be
compelled 10 take out of bond and to pay taxes
on 100000 gallons of whiskey-twice as
much as has been taken out of bond in any pre-
vious year A vast quantity of this whiskey
now stored in Kentucky aud other States is
pledged to banks and other lenders for many
millions borrowed. Tie certainty that great
quantity must I've thrown urOn the market will
not tend to lift the price, and there is 70 indi-
cation that the demand for consumption or for
export will materially increase. The stock on
manu- - tuOuSE 10 supply All uOlhchtlC anu lol-
eign demands for long time, if not barrel
more of whskeY should he made. The distil-
lers, dealers and holders, therefore. are in pO-
sitOn of extreme difficulty, which, to tell the
truth, results from their own folly in being so
sure that Congress would consider their inter-
csts alone, and the interests of the people not
at all.
In the long run, the liquor producers and
dealers will not find it to their advantage to
count upon the favor Of any party or political
body in their business Railroad men have
reached that point after many years of expert
cnce, during which they have seen almost every
plan result in disaster that was based upon pO
litcal favor rather than strict and legitimate
business considerations. II the natural and
legitimate demand does not warrant produc-
ton of 10000 900 gallons of whiskcy in a year.
the diStillerS would be wise not to produce that !
quantity III any expectation of help from the |
Democratic party. The next Congress will be /
Democratic, it is true. but its acts will need /,
the approval of Republican President.

UHISKEY AHD POLlTICS.

The persons VITO did most to secure the
election of tEa Democratic Congress last fail
are having rather had time OF it. We refer,
Of coursr, to Che liq0or dealers, whose perform
ancrs in Ohio ana Indiana gave its chief I'M
pntus to the ball After unexpected and over
whclhing successes IN those States, the Demo
Gratis carried through tie rest Of Tie campaign
in other States With great confidence, and were
helped beyond measure by the conduct Of Re-
publican managers in New-York. Pennsylvania,
and some other States. Bat tie fact remains
that the alliance between the liquor dealers
and the Democrats was the principal cause of
The success Of that party in Che October States
With characteristic impudeuce the Western
whisky operators then appealed 10 Republican
Congress t. relieve them from the disastrous
consequences which they had brought upon
themselves by uhwisc speculation. The la;c
Congress, however though unwiSe in some
things had wholesome fear OF public disap-
proyal, ard declined to pay the losses of the
wlishey spectators ont of the public treasury.
AS IL consequence, it appears that the Western
Association Of Distilers have beer obliged to cut
down production at late qnite Unprecedented.
The association met at indianapolis OH We'd
nesday, fifty dislleries being represented, and it
was decided that all distillerics which can do so
shall at once reduce their production, and that
after June it shall be obligatory on members
of the association to reduce their production to
20 per cent of their capacity. They are now
and for some time have been running only 40
per cent, and after June l must cut of one
half of even this slender output. With works
running only one-fifth of their capacity, and a
probability that this virtual stoppage may be
continued for a long time the distillers Will be
paying pretty roundly for their error in suppos-
ing that they could use the United States Gov
