SOMETHING ABOUT COAL.
Statistics ofthe Coal Production in til
Uvy,.tnd Gtutnc

Statistics ofthe Coal Production in the
United States.
COLUMBUS, o., May 23.-Tbe rail
road commissioner, Hon. FL. Sabine,
gives some very interesting facts rela-
tive to the production of coal in the
United States in the year 1880. The
number of tons of bituminous coal
produced was Al, ,S6o,O65, and of An
thracite 2s,62l,37l; total number of
tons, 7O,4sl,426. Adopting the cars
of the Columbus & Hooking Valley as
standard, fifteen tons to the car, there
would be 4,7O5,32s car loads. Each
load of coal of Hooking Valley di.
mensions would occupy 81 liz feet in
train l46,25s,S ,Ssl feet, or making
one solid train of coal 27,70O miles
greater than the distance around the
world.
The product of coal in Ohio IN 1880
was 5,932,s53 tons. Estimating fif-
teen tons as a car load there would be
395, 523, and observing the Hooking
Valleys dimensions, 81 l-l2 feet, il
would make one solid of coal 2,26l
miles long. equivalent to twelve solid
trains from Columbus to Indianapo
lis via Pan Handle line, 1913 miles
Three solid trains from Columbus te
New York, with a surplus of thirty.
| three miles of cars.
The production of coal in the Hook
ing Valley in 1882, and transported
oy the Columbus Hooking Valley il
1882, and transported by the Colum
bus, Hooking Valley & Toledo Rail
way Company, was l,739,936 tons
making 1896 car loads of fifteel
tons each, or one solid train Of Goa
S12 miles in length, and equivalent Il
seven solid trains from Columbus t
Toledo, and surplus of four miles 0
loaded coal cars.
I 1t will be noted by the above tha

Good Time For Swine Grower..

Mr.. McGeoch, Of Milwaukee, is .
capitalist and a grain and provision
speculator of nerve and judgment be-
yond most men. He has been q lead
ing spirit IN several mammoth "cor-
ners, snd it is said he has never lost
money in these hazardous ventures,
but, on the contrary, has made vast
sums by them. Mr.. McGeoch is now
"bull' of mammoth proportions in
the lard trade. 1t is believed he is
the possessor of about 10000 tierces
of this valuable hog product Now
that he has bought nearly all the lard
in Chicago, and a considerable quanti-
ty that was held elsewhere, he does
not hesitate 70 tell why he has gone
SO heavily into the speculation. In the
first place, he says, ,'beef is so high that
it is reasonable TO look for a greater
demand for the cheaper hog product
in its various forms. A large portion
of what was held in Cincinnati was
damaged by the floods and has beer
worked off at a low rate. The re-
ceipts of hogs in Chicago between
March lst and May lst were 33l l2l

we shall be short for home consump
tion. There is no use of quarellins

OF course the public will understand
that what a great speculator may sa.
for the public ear should be takel
with caution, and not until "wel

The Episcopal convention which re-
Gently convened in Ohio, is getting
down to business on the divorce ques-
ton. AS step to remedy this great
social evil it proposes "that marriage
shall be made matter Of graver de-
liberation. First, the convention pro-
poses restrictions on the looseness of
marriage-three weeks between the
license and marriage, with exceptional
provisions; second, neither party to a
divorce to remarry in three years;
third, the court to appoint counsel to
represent absent or unwilling defend
ants; fourth, where criminal conduct
is shown the court shall order prose-
cutlon. This is necessary to punish
the perpetration or procuring of that
which is called the sole Bible cause,
for the purpose of getting divorce. In
fact, this sole Bible cause Is no protec-
ton for the indissolubility of marriage.
The committee recommend e the fol-
nation of a divorce reform league. y

The action OF the Washington monu-
ment is watched most carefully and lis
every movement registered. Tive
plummets are suspended in It's inside,
one from y hight OF 260 feet and the
other from n hight OF $50 feet. The
movements of these are compared
many times day The movement of
one should be about one and one-half
times that OF the other if there were no
irregular internal movement on the part
of the structure. But the register
shows that the movement is irregular
in both direction and in size, Some
times the plummets move in opposite
directions and sometimes in the same.
Sometimes the top moves u little, but
its whole sway Since the foundation was
strengthened has been only one-quarter
of an inch. All of these movements
are very slight, and some of them can
only be detected with Il microscope.

The London FIunky.

w. j. Stillman says in "Character-
istics of London" in the October
Centwy: SIN the information of the
low-toned command is the highest ex-
preston of that incommunicable, in-
describable, and, except by generations
of cultivation, unattainable quality we
we call high breeding. In the reply
to it is that perfect antthesis in breed
ing, which we ought to call lo,c-the
profound, unquestioning, and nhesi'
tating prostration of self of the tradi-
tional hereditary funk disciplined
soldier, who, as his master never
permits himself to express disturbing
emotion, never allows himself an ex-
preston of surprise or word of COM
ment whose self-command is as great
as his masters, perhaps greater,-a
we'll appareled statue, save when an
order is given; whose bows and defer
ence for his masters guests are gradu-
ated by the distance at which they sit
from the head of the table; a human
creature that sees nothing, knows
nothing, and believes nothing which
his master does not expect him to see
and know and believe; who, il he
thinks of heaven at all, never dreams
that it can be the same thing for his
master and himself; he hopes to meet
his father and grandfather and great
grandfather in the servants hall OF that
celestial abode where his master and
all the family for countless generations
will dwell in their mundane state; his
brains could no more take in the par
able of Dives and Lazarus than the
laws Of Kepler, and the most insensate
chartist or radical could never inspire
in him an ambition to be anything be-
yond butler in his masters mansion.
