None whatever. The stock of the

OWNS the stock of the Potomac coal
company, and the latter owns the
National mine. Working these inter

THE article entitled "Canadian

the bars OF the tariff on bituminous
coal let down, would wrest from us the
richest Of our consuming districts.
This calls to our attention also the
fact that the House of Represent

which, it is feared, will place soft coal
on the free list, or dangerously lower
the existing duty. That bill, once
introduced, will be disposed of quick
Iy as practicable.
The people Of this region should
be ready to move in the matter so soon
as the terms Of the bill are made

in that bsiness in Chicago which has
made him many times a millionaire.
Inc lady who had captured his affec-
tions was the daughter of an ironmaster
named Scott. Field met her in some
New England city, in which she was at
tending seminary, and I believe from
the first their regard for each other was
strong. When she went home Field
visited her fathers house. Mr.. Scott
was very hospitable man, and under
his roof more revelry of an innocent
sort took place than beneath any other
in the district.
length Marshall Field came to Mount
Vernon Furnace to claim his bride.
He arrived the day before that set for
the wedding. That night-that is, on
the eve of the wedding-there was some
sort of jOllification suitable to the Occa-
sion, and when the rejoicing was at its
height, as Miss Nan Scott. younger
sister of the bride. was passing through
the hall. kerosene lamp exploded and
envelOped the girl at once and COM
pletely in blazing oil. 1t proved her
winding sheet, for although her father
and others rushed to her rescue the un-
fortunate girl was so badly burned that
she died the same night.
VI CouISe Tie wedding was ueldyeu,
but eventually Miss Jennie Scott be-
came Mrs. Marshall Field, and as it
turned out married a man who has
since been the invaluable friend and
guardian of her family. Such friend
the SCOTS came to need in later years,
for Mr.. Scott became embarrassed dur
ing the panicky times of 1873, and from
affiuence was brought to the verge of
poverty. But Mr.. FIELDS generosity and
nobility are too we'll known to call for
further remarks upon this subject.

They tell pretty tale, if only it had
pretty sequel, of a handsome New York
woman whose husband had been for
some years absent on diplomatic busi-
ness abroad. One fine afternoon she
received letter setting a day some
months distant Tor his return. Now the
lady, though handsome, was stout, and
she could not endure the thought that
the man who left her young and slim
should find her obese and aged. So,
then, putting all other business
out of hand, she devoted her
self with assiduity to one of the
various Turkish bath systems of put
ting aside unwished for pounds. The
lady was persevering and the doctor

found her weighing to an ounce what
she had weighed when her youthful
husband sailed away. She got back her
girlish figure, but she could not present
her handsome face. The fine lines
{ which scanned in every direction were a
heavy price to pay in exchange for the
matronly proportions which she feared
4her husband would not look with favor
upon. The husband (that chance had
not occurred to herr, had gained avoirdu-

alone they would have made a we'll
