For the Herald.COAL.

Mr. Edito::: For many reasons,the name at the head this article, isa subject the very first importance,with tk(

old

and

ofof

n--s of your journal, andtheir neighbors. Coal is no less thanone of the necessaries of life, with us;and one that stands very near the headof the list. But we have been so oftenled off on a false t with regard tothe discovery of that ra;nnral, that wearc cautious now about believing any-thing about such discoveries, until wehave good authority. An I in the pres-ent state of the question, it might notbe out of place to speculato a little onthe possibility of finding coal in ourown country. In any such inquiry, thefirst material question would be, whatare the indications? The next mightbe, would it be likely to be found insufficient quantity, and at such dis-

tance as would make it useful?About the indications we have no

doubt in answering; that they arehighly favorable." On quite a superfi-cial glance at our geological forma-tions, we would at once answer afurma-tivel- y.

For very many square miles,our county shows just such a kind ofrock in place, as overlies some of therichest coal formations yet discovered.Then, again, coul is rtrtitally found inplace in some localities. This latterfact can be proved in Stove creek pre-

cinct. Coal has actually been got outof the banks of that creek, a mile ortwo north of the center of the precinct.The vein was found too thin to bo ofany particular utility. But its bareexistence at that place was a proof ofa carboniferous formation, t knowthat some people got into their L'e'adsthat the preencc of the coal in anyquantity, was a proof of the nearnessof it in large quantities; but the ut-terance of such an idea is simply non-sense, and possibly hurtful. If thisalone was a foundation for any expen-sive operations, then the scheme mightbo expected to result like "a wildgoose chase."

And at several places in the sameprecinct I am informed that a slatesimilar to the slate that almost alwaysoverlies veins of bituminous coal, is to

found. Such a kind of slato wouldbe called carboniferous, by practicalgcologist3 These a:tnia indications

reach to an indefinite distance beyondthe southern limits of our county;but there is nn evident interruption ofthetii for several miles. From theneighborhood of the postolnce in Stovecreek, where the coal litis been found,southward, ,16 far as the Nemaha-Valley- ,

no rock shows any out-cro- p; butin the banks of that stream, the samesigns are manifest. And in all thisnumber of miles, people have, in nnnycases, been necessitated to sink wellsto a depth of from twenty to seventyfeet, for water.I am not

Ratter for

Statesprolits. Very

their sinking lished in the West. Of these someof any in seem to be very well. Of

have l.Vfn ronr-liff- l in those wells, i ter in the case madethe same formation, may yet be there,intact; this orinfluence, not having to thatdepth. The inference from all thesedata, is, that for anything that appearsto the contrary, we may have, underour feet, one of the best coal forma-

tions in the world. we have noproofs that it is not so; but we haveproofs that, it is or

strata to some extent.Then the next in the scries

would be as to the depth from whichit miht be found, and theof its being worked at a giv-

en depth. The question depth to anunknown rein of coal, is one that re-

quires to be proved;there is no record any successfulguessing in matters. And, likethe fact of the actual existence of val-

uable coal, we may assert theof the presence Cf such coal, in

A Pappy with an Inquiring "Iiud.

From the Virginia ErtlerprL-e- .

State Printer Putnam, who has beensojourning in this city for a few dayspast, returned to arson last Sundaynoon. He was presented a fine New-foundland pup, about four mouths old,while here. For safe keeping this juv-enile son of his mother was placed inthe Enterprise press room last Satur-day night. After inspecting the run-ning of a job press for some time withmuch interest, he went up to it aadstuck bis nose between a pair of cog-wheels. Leaving between the wheelsa piece of skin oil the end of his no eabout the size of a trade dollar, lie retir-ed to a corner and sat down for a timeto reflect upon his first lesson. Afterhe had for some time pawed and lick-ed his wound, his attention was at-

tracted to the bed of the powor press,which seemed to be shooting in andout in a playful m:inn?r. After this hostarted encouraged by seeing it re-treating from him but was almost in-stantly knocked down by the swift re-

turn of the bed. Here he thought hehad found a foe worthy of his steel.At it he went, tooth and nail, and wasregularly knocked down as each paperw;ts struck olf, for about three hours,lie then sat down and watched tho"thing" the rest of the night, bobbinghis head up and down as the bed platemoved in and out, but cured of bat-tling with it. Being shut up in theroom and left to his wn devices untilnoon on Sunday, he found an emptyink barrel on its side and made thathis home. Being black as ink himselfthe condition of his coat was not dis-covered until the master had takenhim aboard the train for Carson. Itwas then found that he was as-- fullink as one of the ink balls used byprinters in the early days of printing.Being an affectionate .and playful cuss,the consternation which he createdaboard that train can well be imagined.At hist it was found necessary to wrapand tie him up in a lot of newspapers,and thes the printer's dog rode awaywith his new master.

Who I'ufTs Fays.A funny suit against an editor lias

Harger. editor ofthe Oeonomowoc Tines. Harger setup a counter claim of 8160 for "puff-ing" the La Belle House. Judgementwas rendered for the plaintiff, and Air.Harger appealed to a jury. The caseexcited much interest, Harger beingwell liked, and having a-- solemn, earn-est way of making very witty remarks,lie testified that Fay would say to him:"Harger, I've got a nice dinner to-da- y

come in." "No, I thank you. I'm so-in- g

colloquy: "Everything in theie all j

The Word Method Not Appreciated.

A certain teacher who had tal'encousiderable pains to post himself inthe latest and most approved methodsof instruction, and had taught success-fully for several years; recently under-took a school in a district vihere suchnew fangled notions as the word meth-od ami 'object lessons were as freshnews to those who controlled the school,as the discovery of the Pohrris,- - or thefailure of Jay Cooke & Co, Our friendsoon discovered that his administra-tion was unpopular. It was in vainthat he demonstrated the correctnessof his methods, and proved that thepupils wcyg interested in their studiesand learning faster than ever before,it was hot the way the parents weretaught when they were children, andconsequently it was not the right way.Tiie teacher nens sibi conscia rectahaving put his band to the plow didnot like to turn back, and so pjr.-iiste- d

in his coarse; but a few weeks laterhe was suddenly arrested in his reck-less career by the following summaryorder from the director, which we pre-serve, in the archives of educationalliteralinG (id est, prii't in the pages ofthe Teacher) for the benefit of tho fu-ture educational historian:

And How it Was Corrected.If there is anything more gentle, gen-erally.th- an

any other thing, it is a print-er, and if there are any two tilingsmore gentle than anj other two things,they are two printers. But it some-times happens that the lamb feels fire inhis heart, and so it is with printers atleast so it was with a pair of printersyesterday afternoon. Imports of theaffair .are conflicting, but the truth, asnear as it can be arrived at is, that adiscussioli arose between thm, whichterminated in a row, and the twain, at-tended by a knot of friends, all print-ers, repaired to a secluded nook, to haveit out in the good old-fashion- ed way.Peeling of their coats and vests, theywent at it, to the instruction and in-tense delight of the spectators.

In the first round they both sparredcautiously, but finally Slug 1 "distribut-ed"' his fives over Slug 2's "turtle."Slug 2 made a "3 em dash" at Slug 1,and "indented" his right eye. Follow-ing it up, he "pied" Slug l's teeth, thelatter retaliating with a "fat take onthe hose. Slug 2 down amid enthusias-tic applause among the "subs" and"loafs."

Both came up a little "battered"' forthe second. round. Slug 1 "emptied" on2's "galley," and ''spaced out" on hi3mouth. Slug 2 "run in" a "solid" oneon Slug l's "black head," and bothwent down. The "rats" interfered, andthe "slugs" sloped, both faces very "dir-ty proofs." ...

The Lcs Angelos, Ca!., Sfargives thefollowing as a successful method to de-stroy gophers and squirrels. One far-mer has just successfully poisonedsome thousands of squirrelsthat had partly destroyed a grainfield. I lis plan was as follows: "Firsthe purchased 'four bits' worth of stry-chnine which he dissolved in a teacupof vinegar; this he let stand half a day,stirring it occasionally. This cupfulof vinegar and strychnine he then po ar-e- d

into three gallons of water, intowhich he added a pint of brown sugar,which destroyed the taste of the vine-gar an I poison, lie then distributedthe preparation about the field, placingit in little earthen or other vessel asnear tiie color of the ground as theyctin be procured. During the warmparts of the day the rodents went tothese veesels, by the hundreds, and nev-er had time to get to their holes anymore, and so deadly is the poison thatfour bits' worth of strychnine will layout from three to four hundred ro-dents." We presume that the planwnich has been so successful in Cali-fornia with gophers and squirrelswould be equally applicable to rats,mice, and other small deer.

How ta Caok a Bscfstaek.A beefsteak is always 1)Pst broiled;

but the following method is recom-mended. When broilin? is rot conven-ient. The frying pan being wiped dr',place it upon the stove to become hot.In the mean time pepper and salt thesteak, then lay It on tiie hot, dry panand instantly cover as tightly as possi-ble. When the raw fiesh touches theheated pan, of course it seeths and ad-heres to it, but in a few seconds be-comes loosened and jucy. Every half-minu- te

turn the steak; but be carefulto keep ft as much as possible undercover. When nearly done lay a smallpiece of butter upon it, and if you wantmuch gravy add a table-spoonf- ul ofstrong coffee. This makes the mostdelicious, delicately broiled steak, fullof juice, yet retaining till the healthy,beefy llavor that any John Bull couldrequire. The same method may be ap-plied to mutton chops or ham, onlythey require more cooking to preventthem from being rare. An excellentgravy may be made by adding a l.'ttlecream, thekened by a pinch of dour, in-

to which, when off the fire and partial-ly cool, stir the yolk of an egg wellbeaten.

To clean Last Year's Siik.For the rtrdtlking of last year's silks,

may be recommended an excellentmode of cleaning. Kub each breadthcarefully with a woolen cloth to getthe du?t from the surface, then spongeit all off with water in which one ortwo black kid gloves have been boiled,a quart of water for a pair of gloves;iron while wet, witli extremely hotirons, on the wrong side. For coloredsilks the same colored gloves to be boil-ed. Fot this purpose it is well to saveold kid gloves of all colors. Anothermode tried with grat success is thesame process of rubbing off the dirtwith a woolen rag; then mix an equalquantity of strong tea and vinegar,with which the silk i3 washed by nib-bing it with .a piece of flanHel. ItMust be made very wet. Smooth thesilk carefully, folding it, arvi in aboutifteen minutes iron it on .fh'e wrongside with very hot irons. This appliesonly to black silk, black l ibbons, cra-vats, etc., but might be injurious tocolors,
