Coal Dust for Fertilizer.

A Scranton, Penn, man, J. \. Price,
is delivering lectures before various
agricultural societies in that state, on
the use of pulverizad coal waste for
improving the soil. The plies Of the
waste coal in the vicinity Of the an
thracite coal mines are estimated to
equal one-third Of the entire output );
and they are becoming positive nui-
sance, which the coal dealers would
like to be rid of. SOM attsmpts have
been made to utilize this fine waste by
pressing it into bricks, in which form
it would burn we'll but the cost thus
far has besn greater that the value Of
the product. Coal dust will darken
light soils, and possibly, in time, add
something to the fertility; but farmers
had better be a little cautious, and
experiment in a moderate way before
investing heavily in coal dust, with
which to manure their barren fields.

In the autumn Of 1880 a travelling
book peddler, who afterward became
a successful publisher and tbs head
of firm whose name is we'll known
in the United States today, came to
the door Of a log-cabin on a farm in
eastern Illinois, and asked for the
courtesy Of a nights lodging. There
was no nsar inn. The good wife was
hospitable but perplezed, for" said
she, tive can feed your beast, but We

ABOUT six months ago, says Wash
ington correspondent, o man giving his
name as James Eustace secured IN
audience with Secretary Lamar. ie
asked the Secretary if me remembered
having lost a pocketbook containing
notes and money to the amount OF sew
eral thousand dollars in 1874, while .
Representative from Mississippi. The
Secretary replied that lie did. Eustacs
then said: @Do you further remember
telling the finder of the pocketbook
that if he wanted favor he would not
have to call upon you in vain9 Well,
I am the man to whom you made that
promise. I have been unfortunate
since then and need employment bad
ly." The Secretary told him to report
for duty the following morning, and
gave him place on the laborers' roll
at $S4O year. The incident found its
way into print, and came to the knowl-
edge of James M. Martin, of Spring
field, Mo. Last week Secretary Lamar
received a letter from Martin denounc-
ing Eustace as an impostor. He said
Eustace W as one of his neighbors, and
had often heard him tell the story OF
finding the Secretary's money and the
latter's promise. Eustace has received
his dismissal from the department.

Results Of Local Option.

The Atlanta Cons'ituti0as gives notes
from some of the Prohibition counties
of Georgia, as follows: Prohibition
went into effect in Pierce County on
April 1, 1880, or six years ago. THE
year previous, the total valuation OF
real estate for the county was s544, 2s3; ;
last year it was s795, $50, or an increase
of over sixty per cent. At the same
time, the county tax has been reduced
from ffty-two and one-half on the hun
dred to thirty-fve cents. The county
is free from debt, and has several hun
dred dollars in the treasury. The mer-
chants, citizens, and Board of Commits
sioners of Hartwell, in Hart county
testify, over their signatures, to the
following facts: THE morals and So
cial habits of the people have been
most remarkably improved. The relig-
ious sentiment among the people has
grown in strength ard influence.
The farm-houses in our county fcar
the marks of improvement, and every
body is by common consent united and
striving for the interest and progress of
the county. The trade of our own town
has improved, and is growing better
every day. The money that was once
wasted for liquor is now spent for home
comforts" Eighty business firms of La
Grange unite in this testimony: "The
antis said prohibition would ruin our
town, but since its adoption about $780,
OC0 have been permanently invested;
twenty new houses now going up, 70
vacant stores or residences, and our town
greatly improved. Our people unani-
nous as to good done by it morally and
financially" The Clerk of the Court
;estifes that the list of signatures to this
declaration includes all the business
houses in the city, with two or three
EXCEPTIONS Christian State4naan.

Decreased Consumption.

There has been a decrease of revenue
in the United Kingdom during the last
ten years of some e4,5O0, 900 in tine
amount received from the tax on spirits,
which is interpreted to mean that the
people drink less liquor than they used
to. If they should stop drinking ato-
gether, the National Treasury would be
bankrupted in short order. If, at the
same time, the consumers who buy In
dian opium should reform, the finances
of the Hindoo end of the Empire would
collapse. If the use of tobacco sh ;u!d
suddenly cease also, Her Majes!y's Co..
ernment would scarcely know where to
get its next meal, 50 to speak. 1t thus
appears that Fng'aad's public financial
prosperity depends mainly on what some
moralists would call the vices of her reo.

Quicksilver,

Quicksilver forms part Of soft, rcd
rock called cinnabar, composed of mer-
curry and sulphur. The cinnabar ID
crushed and exposed to the heat, when
the metal, in form of vapor, passes into
a vessel suitable for the purpose, where
it is cooled. Then, being reduced to its
liquid state, it is pure and fit for use.
When men working in the mines heat
the rocks, the quicksilver will sometimes
roll out in drops as large as pigeons
egg, and fall on the ground in a million
sparkling globules. 1t is said to bevery
beautiful against the dark, red rock,
glittering everywhere with this '1iving
silver" while every crack and crevice Is
also filled with it.
Just as wood floats on water because it
is lighter, so large stones thrown into
kettle Of mercury would float on top, it
is so much more heavy substance than
the stone. ..
There are only four important locali-
ties where it is obtaincd-California,
Peru, Austria, and Almaden, in Spain.
The nearest mines to US are those in CAL
ifornia. The mines in Peru were dis
covered in curious manner. Cinnabar,
when ground very fine, makes beautiful
red paint. The Indians used this to or
nament their bodies on great occasions:
This caused the country where they lived
to be examined, and the cinnabar was
found. The Romans used this paint
hundreds of years ago in decorating their
images. 1t is of great value now in QUE
times, and we call it vcrmilion.
This wonderful quicksilver is very use
full in separating metals from the rocks
to which they cling. The rocks are
crushed fine, sifted, and washed until
as much of the gold and silver is removed
as possible. Then it IS placed in bot
tie with the quicksilver, which seems to-
absorb it at once, separating it entirely
from every particle Of sand or rock. II
the metal to be cleansed is gold, you
will see a yellowish mass Of sort Gf
paste or amalgam. This is heated, and
the mercury or quicksilver flies away,
leaving behind it pure gold.
Although mercury is so useful in many
ways, it is also deadly poison, and it's
vapor so dangerous that in the search for
it many persons have lost their lives.
Not many years ago the mines of Aus
tria took fire, and 1900 workmen were
poisoned, many of them dying in con-,
sequence; snd the water used to quench
the flames, pumped into a river near by,
caused all the fish in the river to die.
Have you ever seen mercury carried
about9 It is put in sheepskip bags and
cast iron bottles. 1t is so heavy that
instead of an ordinary cork, an iron
stopper is used-screwed in!
Sometimes these bags do sad havoc, as
in the case of storage of several in the
hold of ship bringing it to this coun-
try. Some of the bags leaked. Every
body on board was poisoned. Every
bit OF metal was covered with silver
coating of quicksilver.

Due to Drink.

The author of "Our Criminals and
Christianity" Mr.. W. M. F. Round,
states that in the State of New York last
year we had in prisons, jails, penitcntia-
ries, and other penal institutions an ag-
gregate of Is, 800 persons, and that this
is an increase of thirty-thrce per cent.
over the estimated criminal population of
1880, while in the same period the popu-
lation of the State has increased but
about twenty per cent. At least three
fourths of this criminal aggregate may
be traced directly or indirectly to strong
drink. AS factor of crime the liquor

Mcclellan and Burnside.

Among the accounts from various
points of view of the Battle of Fred
ericksburg, in the Century, is one by
General D. N. Couch, from which we
quote as follows: ''Toward evening, on
the 9Th of November, 1862, at Warren
ton, Mcclellan rode up to Burnside'a
headquarters to say that he had been
relieved of the command of the army.
Burnside replied:
"I am afraid it is bad policy; very,
very, veryp
1T was just at dark. Ihad dismounted,
and, standing there in the snow, was
experimenting the camp arrangements OF
nv troops, when Mcclellan came up with
his staff, accompanied by General Burn
side. Mcclellan drew in his horse, and
the first thing he sid was:
"'Couch, am relieved from the COM
mand OF the army, and Burnside IL my
successor
'I stepped up to him aud took hold OF
his hand, and said: General Mcclellan,
I am sorry for it, Then, going around
the head of the horse to Burnside,
said: General Burnside, I congratulate
you -
Burnside helrd what I said to Gen.
eral Mcclellan; he turned away his head,
and made a broad gesture as he ex-
claimed:
"sCouch, don't say a word about it
sHis manner indicated that he did
not wish to talk about the change; that
he thought it wasn't good policy to do
so, nor the place to do it. He told me
afteiwara that he did not like to take
the command, but that he did so to keep
it from going to somebody manifestly
unfit for it. assumed that he meant
Hooker. Those of US who were well
acquainted with Burnside knew that he
was brave, loyal man, but we did not
think he had the military ability to COM
mand the Army of the Potomac.
sMcClellan took leave on the 10th
Fitz John Porter sent notes to the corps
commanders, informing them that Nc
Clellan was going away, and suggesting
that We ride around with him. Such q
scene as that leave-taking had never
been known in our army. Men shed
tears and there was great excitement
among the troops.
81 think the soldiers had an idea that
Mcclellan would take care of them;
wouldn't put them in places where they
would be unnecessarily cut up; and If .
general has the confidence of his men no
is pretty strong. But officers and men
were determined to serve Burnside
loyally."
