When coal was FIRST used in England
the prejudice against it was so strong
that the house of commons petitioned
the king to prohibit the use of the "nox.
ious" fuel A royal proclamation hav-
ing failed to abate the nuisance, com
mission was issued to ascertain who
burned coal within the city of London
and its neighborhood, to punish them
by force for the first offense, and by the
demolition Of their furnaces If they per-
sisted in transgressing. A law was
finally passed making it capital of
fense to burn coal in the city, and only
permitting it TO be used by forgers in
the vicinity. 1t is stated that among
the records in the tower of London a
document was found, according to
which a man was hanged in the time Of
Edward l. for no other crime than hav-
ing been caught burning coal. Chicago

GEN. SPINNER's REVENGE.
He Succeeded in Having an Enemy Legi,

re succeeded III having an Enemy LegiS-
lated Out!of Office.
The late Gen. Spinner was the son of
a Lutheran Clergyman, but this did not
prevent him from expressing his views
in forcible English at times. In March,
1861, just after Salmon P. Chase had
been made secretary of the treasury by
President Lincoln, Gen. Spinner was
selected as United States treasurer. He
had during his life as member of the
lower house of congress been an ardent
abolitionist, and had made himself par
ticularly obnoxious to the southern
pro-slavery element. AS soon as his
commission was handed to him he went
to the court house and approached
Judge Merricl, who was then on the
bench as associate judge of the United
States circuit court for the District of
Columbia. 81 have come to take the
oath of Office" said Mr.. Spinner, "and
l should like to have you administer
it." Merrick replied that he would do
nothing of the kind, and upon inquiring
the reason Spinner was informed that
the judge was opposed to his views as
an abolitionist, and that he would have
nothing to do with him.
''Does not congress- as part of your
duty, prescribe that you shall admins
ter the oath of allegiance to federal APP
pointees?" inquired Mr. Spinner
YES" said Merrick, "but congress
can not compel me to administer the
oath or to have anything to do with a
man as personally distasteful as you
are"
Congress may not be able to force
you to administer the oath to me-" said
Spinner, but there is one thing it can
do. 1t can abolish your - old court,
and will see that it is done" He found
another official competent to administer
the oath, and when he had spare time
he went up to the capitol and got a
friend of his to introduce bill to abol-
ish the circuit court for the District of
Columbia and to create the supreme
court of the District OF Columbia. This
bill was passed and signed by the presi-
dent, and Judge Merricls was thereby
legislated out of office, Chicago Trib-

Thus read the invitation sent out by these estimable people several days ago, and more brilliant assemblage never gathered under the opera house roof than that which assembled last night. The hall was handsomely decorated with peppers, ,smilax and natural flowers, and shaded lamps took the place of the unsightly glare of gas.
 The stage was occupied as refresh ment room. It, too, was beautifully decorated. Massive oak tables served to bear the tempting luncheon. In front, next to the footlights, were laid wolf and bear skins. Between the tables were Turkish rugs, and all taken with the stage settings produced a scene of Oriental splendor and luxury.
 Mir. and Mrs. Hoadley and MT. and Mrs. Hitler received with all the grace and charm for which they are noted and which has made them such favorites in social circles. Beautiful souvenir pro- grams, printed on satin, were distrib- uted. It is no disparagement to other receptions of the seas Jn to say that none equalled this.
