The total pro duction of anthracite coal was 1,100,713 tons less than In 18S3, its valne being 10,005,513 less, the disproportionate decline in valuo being duo to a fall of twenty-five per cent, a ton In spot price.

A,nEit trying high license for two years in Missouri, Instead of abandon ing the experiment tho law has been lately amended so that a wine and beer license costs tho same as a llccnso to sclj all kinds of liquor. It was found that saloon-keepers took out the cheaper license to sell beer and wine and after ward sold other spirituous liquors as well. The amended law fixes $550 as tin minimum cost of a license and $1,200 as the maximum, depending on the amount of business. Two things have resulted from the operation of high license in Missouri which please the pcoplo of that State very much. There has been a notable decreased intemper ance and a notablejncrcase in the coun ty revenues. Its effect upon the llqucr trade has been to close up low grogger les and to benefit the keepers of respec table saloons and hotels. HuW TO DOUBLE YOUR MONEY. A1In-fSg7 tf.

As tho Saviour said to llti; woman whri touched the hem of his eminent "Thy faith hath made tho whole." There was no application of tni-diclnc there, and yet tho woman was rorcly afflicted. Is It not Possible that tho Saviour under standingcxactly the working of nature's laws, knew tho effect of mind upon the matter, and knew if tho woman could only imagine herself cured that she would us cured.

Sho charged them.one hundred dollars each to learn them how tho thing was dona and now all of them are doing a thriving business, for tho practice seems to have become suddenly popular. Clairvoyance has had a boom. An expressman, by tho name of Whltchouso, disappeared vcrv suddenly a wecX ago: a general alarm was sent out; tho whole city was ransacked, nut tno man was lost as surely as it lie Had ucen dropped in the middle of tho sea. The detectives ct on the fob could find out nothing. and at last Mrs. Whiteljouse In her de spair went to a clairvoyant. The woman told her that her husband had been Inveigled out of tho city for tho money he had on his person at tho time of his disappearance, and that sho would hear irom mm soon. v cm -Mr. iviuicuouse turned up on Saturday, very much delapidatcd and minus lib cash; ho was put to ucu at once ami is now under medical treatment. Now, I wish it distinctly understood mat i do not vouch for any ot the in formation given above. 1 give It as part of the gossip, and you can tako it for what it is worth. A singular case occurred the other day in the villageof Huntingdon, which la an old-tasiiioncu place on l.ongislaml, which gained an unsavory reputation about six years ago, by the murder of one licisey, no octore ins assassination was tarred and feathered In the pres ence of several of Huntingdon's most reputable and pious citizens, but wheth er murdered or not poor Kelscy was never seen again. A few weeks ago an old Irishwoman died there. By econo my, thrift and good luck she had accum ulated a fortune of $12,000 or $14,000. She, had living with her for several years, a nephew nnd a niece, who were brother and sister, and the children of her own dead sister. The old lady was hardly in her grave when the niece ap plied for letters of administration coup ling It u it U the declaration that she was the only living relative. When asked about her brother, she declared that he was not her brother but an illegitimate child of her mother's. The brother was astounded, and in contesting tho sister's claim an Inquisition was sent to Ireland and there tho brother's legitimacy was fully established by tho parish register, and now the chances are that the wicked sister, instead of getting tho entire es tate, may go to States Prison for per jury. Brother Beecher's sermons on evolu tion have created a very profound sen sation. Plymouth Church has the last few Sabbath nights put out the sign of the popular llljou Theatre, "standing-room only." It Is a mistake to sup pose that thero U anything sudden In Mr. Beecher's evolution, lie lias been gradually approaching it for seieral jcars; jet knowing this fact as all of Ids conurecatlon have known Iti it is, nevertheless, tmotliat his radical de claration of last Sunday fell in their midst like a charge of dynamite.

June ,22 1885. Arrr.nTuouoiiT o.v the lloisi.atuiu:. For tho past five months a visit to the Capital at any time of day or night would reveal to the visitor bustle, noise, excitement and a continued hurrying too and fro of thoso who were in somo way interested iu tho present session or had some employment of some kipd about the Hill. All this is now clningcd. The old building is quiet and only an occas ional Visitor can bo Ecen maUlnpj Ins way up to the buildlnc The Senate is locked. the- House likewise, and only by the bade way can any ono be admitted into either room. The desks of the members aro cleaned out, tiio tags contuinms the name and district of tho member are torn oft" nnd silence reigns supreme. The onlv man about tho House whoso famil iar lace wo were wont U sea is Andy, tlie chief page. Andy is a good-hearted, de formed unddwurted little fellow who has tho respect and esteem of all tha mem bers, senators and page boys. As I stood in the old rotunda nnd looked about mo I thought what a poor, miserable, dirty, dingy, smoky old thing this building is. The rickety old stair case leading to the top i about worn out, many places in tho tipper hall the boards of the floor aro broken through and patched, nnd looking lit tho building in any way you wish, you will find that it is 11 poor excuse of a building for the Capitol ot this great and wealthy state. When I recall the beauties and splendor of the Capitol nt Albany, when 1 reflect upon the building at Columbus anil read ot llio great cost and pplendor of aomo of tuo estcrn Capitols X wundor wliy wo Pcimsylvanians bhould not iiavo a State Houso of which wo could feel proud. Tho present dirty old sweat box was in directly the cause of tlio death of two members during the last session and will bo a cood trap to catch sickly and weak legislators who may bo caught within its wans in 111c liiture, As 1 etood in tho House arid glanced about me and saw tho vacant seats. 1 pointed out for myself tlie scats that wcro occupied by tlie dillerent men and then I thought, Hero sat Mr. Colbn jdst back of him Mr. Buyer, over yonder Mr. Faunce, and just back of him Craw ford, who was tho skillful leader of the minority, a little further over sat Dr. Altman, who has by this time como to tlio conclusion that thero is something in a name, lua name being at tlie head of the roll call, made him Vote firht on every question. lie was compelled to keep posted on all bills or ho would vote wrong, lie it said to tie Doctor's credit that he very seldom asked to have his voto changed. Not far from Dr. Alt- man is the chair occupied by old man Lowry, and then I thought 'of what I heard the night before last. One of the Philadelphia members who was sittine close by mo forgot or did not hear the bill read upon which he wa3 called to vote. He turned to the next man and asked him how ''old man Lowry voted," and when ho was told he remarked, "Then it is safe for me to vote that way." I then askod him why ho should be cov- orned by Mr. Lowry's vote, said he, "Old man Lowry is tlio best watch dog in the House, we nro always safe to vote us ho docs." "But what would you have done had you not heard Mr. Lowrv's vote?" "Then I should havo voted as Mr. Colborn voted, for they aro tlio best watch dogs in tho House, nnd very few bills puss without their knowing what tlicv arc. There aro no ten men in this 1 louse who could run a State cheaper than those two. Thinking as I did of some of tlio measures that were defeated 1 was re minded of the bill that was to give Col. Thomas $10,000 to tako care of and fix up Pennsylvania s exhibits at ISew Or leans. 1 thouaht of the diflercnt meth ods that were taken to havo tho bill passed, and when the case was hopeless iiow Co). Thomas went ahead anil took charge of ami fixed up the exhibits, paid for it out of his own lunds and now since it has been discovered that tho Colonel had, by his energy, a real creditable cx hibition for our State, somo one intro duced a resolution into the House, which passed, that tiio thanks of the House should be' tendered to Colonel Thomas for his energy and tact put forth in tlie management of the affairs at New Or leans. I wonder that somo of the mem bers did not blush with slinme lo'think that thev should nk Col. Thomas, much less refuse to pay him, for upholding the interebU of tho State. If thev recor- nized his services as being worthy of tuaiiKs iney sliouid at least Iiavo Had tlie doccnev to mv hint i-h:it lie t'xiipndad. This I Inn iu should bo nahamcd of its in gratitude toward this man who has done so mucu and who expended his money and time for the interests of the State. Passing tills, I thought of tho bill which was to reduce tho number of mem bers of the Houso to ono hundred. This was ono of Sir. Lanry's bills, and when 1 come tip tuuiK 01 11, mere 1$ moro wis dom in it than nimedrii nt flrt nir-ld Speaker Graham said a fact which I Iiavo 110 doubt was said before, that lar; .odiej uro unwieldy and in a crea measure retard legislation. New York State, with a jiopulatioii of nearly twice ns many us this State, has only 12d members uixl IIS senators, while this State has 201 of the former .und fill of tjio latter, Thero is some truth in this as sertion and considerable wisdom in ' old man LauryV bill. I thought of tho behavior of the mom hers, their character, their ability, their leal, their devotion to labor, their ear no.1 desire to du the will of their con- stllueuU, the amount or work they did nnd I concluded that they were about enunl if not n little superior to tho body which met here only n year ago. At this, point Andy culled to me and said tliut the IttcouD it behind liund ami it ..v, .cuuig nucii inu la) wijiy win ue j the native Home of lire blusliln; lus iirinted. 1 then randuded that it was 1 ln, ,wjii-1i. lime for me to take my iU-Kirtnn uud "'v g'KHj uje 10 me 01.1 uau aiu Jill iu of aociales and all the pleasant memom FROM WASHINGTON From our Regular Correspondent, Washington, D.

Of course tho architect of the I Capitol has his enemies, nnd they may at one-tiuid tne price paid a the Aortli overstate matters somewhat, but I wish, crn States. The reason of this Is there that you could scdomo of the- botch- workubout this Capitol, for-which v,c havo paid nrst and last about seventeen millions of hard-earned dollars. The llcgents of the Mount Vernon es tate havo just got through with their annual meeting. Thcsn ltegents aro all ladies, and that is doubtless tho reason of their Interminable session. From one of the reports read, it appears that more people visited tho memorable man sion this year than ever before, hwq the Ccnteimlal year. Consequently the captain of the steamboat which carries all the passengers to Mount Vernon, and Ua3 tue exclusive- monopoly of the busi ness, pocketed more than the usual amount ot patriotic lucre. Tho board has resolved to make romo extensive ad ditions and repairs upon the property. roaspicuous among which is tho rehab ilitation ot the banqueting hall nt the north end of tho house, which Is called the New York room, anil several hun- tircf dollars nro to be devoted to-the propagation of plants, a pastime to which Gen. AVasldngton paid much at tention. The I'ohick Church where the linmortd George worshipped when lu the flesh, Is old-fashioned enough. The pews aro simply boxes with uncushioncd seats, very much as I remember thoso In many ot tho iNew England towns. The backs of the pews aie so high that no encouragement whatever is given for tho display of millinery, nnd the bald heads that show their polished surfaces over the top of the rails, look too funny ior nnyiuing. A colored watchman In the Treasury was driven to Incurable insanity tho other night on being told that tho Be- publicans were bent 011 killing him for holding an office under a Democratic ad ministration. This is tho sort of diver sion that tha Republicans all along have been indulging in to retain tlicir hold of tho negro vote, which, in .Virginia and Maryland, counts for a good deal. Tlds Aincnn gentleman was irom Virginia, and had been one of Mahone's best lieu tenants in inanv a Ylrclula eamnalcn. but ho was intelligent enough at last to see the uses to which ho and his class wcro being put by the scalawag crowd that Mahone led by the nose, and ha now the tracic ino elimination of the best part of tho negro clement from Malione s lorcc3, irn broken him up completely, nnd ho who was only Uvo short years ago the master hand of tho political destinies of tho old common wealth, is now so poorthat he finds none to do him reverence. Through tho munificence of Mr. Wm, II. Vandcrbilt, tbo magnificent presents maue to uencrai tirant during his tour around the world in 1878-70, have been deposited in the Treasury Department ior saio Kt-epiug uuiu proper arrange ments arc made to place them on exhib ition at tho National Museum. These gifts required fifteen huso boxes In trans portation from JNcw orl: City hcre.nnd of course thero is nothing in the whole list tliat cannot be ranked as either rare or costly. The onyx cabinet from Mexico, presentod by President Iturblde and othe rMcxlcan dignitaries, embraces a wonderfully rare andvaluable collection of stonc3, and there nro snuff boxcs.and necklaces, and bracelets, and finger rings.and writing secretarlcs,nnd caskets wuiioui. cnu. To show tho great necessity of a civil servlco reform In this country, it is only a matter of justice to the promoters of mat retorra to give some of tue questions propounded to applicants for positlon.as Indicative of what requirements in tho way of attainments are necessary to per ioral satisiactory uovernment wonc. TI1I3 is one: "Name the honos of the Tarsus." Of course a Government clerk who cannot name tlie bones of tho Tarsus Is not competent to figure upon tha pay-roll of tho departments. Here is another: "What are the diseases sup posed to lie due to filth? and name the two most common forms of malarial fevers and tho moro common sequetao of thC30 diseases?" If to these bo udded the query: What cases of fully developed idlocythe civil servlco reform has brought to tho surface In tho last two years? we nave no uouut mat tuo commission it self will suggest the answer. OUR SOUTHERN BUDGET SouTiir.nx Pines, N.C., June 20, I remember years ago, when rainy days came and It was very, lonesome, of climbing up Into the old red desk that served for secretary ns well as book-case, and from tho pile of political pamphlets, Mothers' llayazlnet, and other light reading ( I) such as Baxter's Saints, Jlest, and Jacfccnzfe's 5,000 Jlecines. therein stored, I sometimes fished out u copy of the familiar Farmers Almanac, In whose pages I found " surcease from sorrow.'- I remember tl'A cuo of the Interesting things I used to read was llttlo poetical scrap headod " Jars," which ran something hkc tins; Jars ot Jelly, lars of Jam. Jars ot patted beet and ham, .tars of earlv Gooseberries nice. Jars of pickles. Jars of spice. Of course this doscn't give tho whole poem, for it mentioned something about others household " jars" in which you and I can have no Interest, kind reader. But enough was told In the above four linos to please my boyish fancy, for It conjured up pictures of swoets purloined ; of well filled cider barrels an J rye straw: of brokon teacups full of blood-rod currant jelly, with n leaf from the last winter's copy-book tied over the top; of black crocks In tho cellar filled with good things; nnd as wo always had something moro than ordinarily good on rainy days, reflection on tho subject of "lars" furnished the sauce for a capital dinner. All of this was brought np fresh to my memory the other day by observing the enormous quantity of huckleberries that everywhere grow wild In Moore county, JS'orth Carolina, I thought that I had seen something of large growths of huckleberries in tho north, but I must confess tliat never before had I seen such a sight as can be seen here now on every hand. The woods are'llterally full of berries. One may tako a large pall, and without scarcely moving from his track, fill it with large luscious fruit. And tho huckleberry Is not the only kind of fruit that can be gathered liero ns free as the water tliat runs.

Nearly all of the wild fruits and berries can be secured at tho trifling cost of gathering them. It is n startling statement, but a true one. nevertheless, that thousands and thousands of bushpls of blackberries, grapes, piums, ticw berries nnd persim mons go to waste every season In this state because they cannot bo consumed by tbo present population, and there are no cannci lea to preserve thm for less fortunate sections In tlso north and east. I havo scon, where bushels of peaches havo gono to waste, or bceomo tbo food of wandering hogs, and all be cause there was nobody who cared to gather them. Tho cost of cannlnc. hero would bo In- finltcsmal, or very small at tho greatest. Indeed, labor forcanning can bo secured M" ",w imurics in j iuo 11 oriu employ ing tujucii uuu uiiuuieii. wiiiie iieruujiy quantity of that kind of labor could bo employed at very low wagcs.Kxpcricnccd canncrs who come here from the North can afford to work for less than they can in tueir .northern uomcs, lor rents aic much cheaper, and fuel Is very lew and iu many cases is entirely free. Tho market for southern canned goods is equally as good as that for tho North ern canneries. Tlio south lias direct communication with the wast and north-west, where a large proportion of canned goods is sold. And now I want to say n word about tho kind of conning factories that arc de sirable to be started In tlie south. While large canneries with plenty of capital would find tho business a good invest ment, tlie field Is peculiarly open to experienced and nractlcal canncra who dcslro to opcrato on a suvill scale with a limited capital. Men. who have hereto fore worked in hrgo canneries in tlio north can here find a splendid chance to branch out on their awn account. At present tho South purchases all its canned goods from Baltimore, Philadel phia, and iNcw lorK. &oiliucrn canncrs would monopolize all of this homo trade. which of Itself is an item of considerable importance. I understand that the Im migration Department of tho State is looking after tills matter somewhat, and is very anxious to have some practical canncrs. locate In. the State. If any of my readers can sco a chance for making a fortune In this branch of Industry,and want further information, they can doubtless be accommodated by address ing tho Commissioner of Immigration at Ualeigh. N. C. I predict future fortunes In the canning business in this State for practical men of tho North. Just stick a pin right there. Better yet, "cut this out and pasta it in your lint." MINIMAL HUNTING. Every North Carolinian knows that this state is ono vast deposit of mineral. Wo have here all the liner minerals, In- cludln.i cold and some precious stones. livery land owner has hones that cold will be found on his premises, and ho win suddenly leap from a common wall. In life to tha station of a bonanza hint:. If you see a man while walking nuietlv along suddenly stop to picic up some thing, don't for a moment think that he's going to chuck a piece of rock at a hog. Oh, no I lie's only looking for signs of that gold mine, you know. But more about gold mining anon. F. P. Woodwakd. PATENTS GRANTED.
