New Coal Vein Discovered.

It seems to be an assured fact that some of the greatest developments in many years will take place at an early date on the proposed route of the At lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railway. between this city and Birmingham. A company has recently purchased about four thousand acres of mineral land, which is being sounded for the hidden treasures. It is rumored that this will be the seat of the largest coal mines in this district.
 An expert engineer is on the ground and has charge of the tests being made. So far his work has resulted in the dis covery of two veins of coal. The first, at a depth of about two hundred feet, is about three feet in thickness, while the second is at much greater depth and something over four feet in thick ness
 The new mines are located about twelve miles from this city, on Short creek, and are in an altogether unde veloped field, and will be first tapped by the new railroad It is said that the company will spend millions of dollars in the development of the mineral
 Plans will begin at once on the actual operations and it is believed that slope will be run and coal will be ready for the first train that speeds down the new track

INVENTED THE STEAMBOAT.
German Genius Operated a "Devil
 Vessel" as Far Back as 1707.

Washington Cor. Chicago Record-Herald.
 Robert Fulton was not the inventor of the steamboat, although he is generally credited with that honor. Nor was James Watt the inventor of the steam engine, although both were successful in making these necessities commercial success and securing their permanent employ ment. The invention of the steam en- zine and the steamboat cannot be at trbuted to any one man, for they are the results of the inventive powers and ex- periments of several men of genius, who discovered and developed the principles of physics they involve.
 A German named Payin actually con stIuctcd and operated a steamboat on the River Fulda al Cassel in l7o7, 100 years before Fulton. and it might have been successful had it not been destroyed by the supersttious boatmen of the neighborhood, who thought 1t the work of the evil one.
 In l73o Jonathan lluls. of whom noth- ing else seems to be known published a pamphlet describing steamboat very much like that of Fultons. and obtained d patent for it in England. but, SD far as the world knows. fl was never built.
 An Italian named Bernouilli, i'll l752. anticipated John frisecons idea of the screw propeller
 William Henry. q gunsmith of lancas- ter Pa, was experimenting with steam boat on the Canastota river five years before Robert Fulton was born IL met with an accident and was sunk near Lancaster.
 John Fitch, who often claimed to be the inventor of the steamboat. was neigh bor of MT Henry, a frequent visitor at his house and later in life developed MI. IIcnrys ideas so successfully that he carried passengers at the rate of seven miles an hour on a steamboat called Per severance between Philadelphia and Iron ton and Wilmington and Chester durns the years l79o-9l This boat probably ran between 2ooo and 5000 miles, but was a mechanical and commercial failure. Fitch also built boat with screw propeller. but could never make it go. It is a remarka ble coincidence that Hen. ry. Fitch and Fulton all came from the same town of Lancaster.
 James Rumsey built a steamboat oh the Potomac at Sheperdstown. Va, in I734, and succeeded in running it at the rate of four miles an hour against the current in the presence of George Wash lngton who gave him a written certih- cate The state of Kentucky voted Rum the benefit of the steamboat" but Rum seys method was not practical

the armies of his country, and when Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock lay wounded by the enemy's bullets under the flag of his country, the Senator from Kansas, in the capacity Of judge advocate general was prosecuting non combatant Jayhawkers for robbing hen roosts."
 In the old days Tom Marshall and one Graves were rival candidates for Congress in the Blue Grass region of Kentucky. Marshall was an aristocrat. Graves was the son of a cooper, and he was always making an appeal to the "peepul" by boasting of the humble occupation of his father Marshall found it was hurting his chances, and he decided to stop it by the Counter check Quarrelsome. In reply to Graves he said: My opponent boasts Of the humble calling of his father For ought l know his father may have been good cooper, but it is easy to see that he put a mighty poor head on this whisky barrel,' clapping his hand on Graves head.
 Tennessee bred two great orators in the olden days-Andrew Johnson, democrat. once President of the United States, and Gustavus A. Henry. whig, known as the Eagle Orator of the South" They ran against each other for governor, and when long series of joint debates had reached it's close Johnson addressed the whigs in the audience T have spoken with the boasted eagle orator from the Missis- sippi river to the Unaka mountains, and yet see no flesh in his talons or blood on his beak." Quick as flash Henry was on his feet, saving: "Tha American eagle is a proud bird, and feeds not on carriOn.'
 Champ Clark in a speech on civil service reform. told a story of a sharp retort 10 an examination question pro pounded by the civil service board. A man applying for a position to run an elevator was asked How many troops did England send to the colonies dur ing the Revolutionary war?' The reply was: "A damn sight more than eyer went back
 Lemuel Eli Quigg and James Hamil- ton Lewis, two of the most picturesque men ever in Congress, were having a heated debatae on the trust question. MT. Quigg, who was from New York, was openly defending the trusts. At the close of one of his fiery periods J. Ham interjected with fine intonation: For the OK kmoweth his owner and the ass his masters crib"
 Senator Ingalls was always quick in retort although he was himself a sub ject of some sharp shafts Once he was attacked by Senator Eli Salisbury of Delaware, the second smallest state in the union. He disposed of the whole matter by saying: q thank the Senator

Some have thought it's source is to be looked for in the shining of millions of little bodies revolving about the sun out side the orbit of Mars, each of which shines just as a little full moon when op- posite the sun. Others believe 1t due to sunlight. which is bent downward as It passes through the air about the earth and so lights up the fine meteoric dust with which space is supposed to be filled. While still others believe il to be a reg ular tail of the earth formed of the lighter gases which are constantly being repelled by the sun. Whatever it's cause may be, there is scarcely any study for observers without telescopes which prom ises such valuable results at present as systematic observations of the counter glow.
 Mercury is further from the sun on March 1, and may be seen for a few days before and after that time. It shines out low down in the west from thirty min utes to an hour after sunset

Some Examples From Debates In Con.
 gress and on the Stump.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
 William Shakespeare, who codfied our English-speaking, conversational laws, made his admirably wise fool Touchstone divide the more or less pleasant custom of giving ones adver- sary the lie in seven classes, ranging from the Retort Courteous to the Lie Direct. The field of politics is more prolific in famous instances of retort than any other
 An illustration of the nimble and caustic wit of Alexander H. Stephens of Georgia in a senatorial debate oc- cured on the floor of the Senate in q heated argument with Robert Toombs, alse of Georgia. Stephens, although possessed of one of the most powerful brains of his time, was lame and had a wizened little body. Toombs was one of the largest men in the Senate, and was of a clustering, spluttering type. He had argued with Stephens until he was hoarse, and became so exasperated that he threatened to fight. However, consideration for the size of his oppo- nent deterred him, and, turning, he said q won't fight you, but I could swallow you whole" Stephens quickly retorted: "If you did, you would have more brains in your stomch than you ever had in your head"
 Gen. Charles H. Grosvenor is the hero of a hundred wordy battles in the House. He has luxurious snow-white beard and a caustic tongue. One day William .D. Vandiver, now insurance commissioner of Missouri. launched into a furious attack upon 'the gentle man from Ohio" and Champ Clark in- nocently inquired Which gentleman from Ohio?" The Missourian shook his finger at GrosvenOr and replied: 'I mean the gentleman from Ohio who looks like Santa Claus and talks like Satan" Grosvenor, white with rage, shouted back: But my picture has never served as warning on poison pots in pharmacies" Vandiver had such a thin face and bony frame that he had been nicknamed Skull and Crossbones."
 The late Senator Ingalls, of Kansas was attacking General Mcclellan and General Hancock, two federal generals of the civil war, who wel> afterward democratic candidates for the presi- dency. Senator Blackburn of Ken lucky arose and interrupted: When Gen. George B. Mcclellan was leading

Detectives Find Watch.

Detectives Patton and Parson of this city, aided by Birmingham detectives, sue ceeded in finding the handsome gold watch stolen from the residence of J. M. Cousin belonging to Miss Roberta MeAlphn. The watch was stolen last week, and the de- tectiVes have been watching with eagle eyes for it.
 watch was discovered d few days ago in Birmingham which suited the de- scription of the one missing, and today it was carried to Miss McAlphin and identi- fled as her watch. It is supposed that the guilty party will be brought op in the next few days.

More Storm Sewerage and Paving.

"The recent heavy rains so flooded some of the most valuable property in tho city that it is very evident that some immediate steps will have to be taken toward putting in more storm sewers said a prominent property owner today.
 The town is growing and spreading out so fast that the present sewerage IS entirely fnadequate,' and if the other property owners feel as I do about the matter, they will agree with me that by putting down the necessary storm sew CTS the property will be greatly en- hanced in value. and while the city coun- cil is consideraing the calling of an cleo ton for a vote of the people on the issu- ance of bonds for the building of another school, which is also matter of great importance to the town, hope this storm sewerage question will be given due at tention, and be immediately put before the people.
 The bill which recently passed the leg lslature giving a city the authority of paving the streets and charging the abut- ting property owners the cost thereof giving them five years in which to pay said costs, is a good one. and work of this kind will be taken up immediately by the mayor and board of aldermen
