Tours is perfectly tranquil, and has relapsed at once into its habitual dullness. ODR POTOTfllli ICTfER. [Cotrcipondenco Of the PMla. Evonißß Bulletin. 1 , rotasville, April 12; lsip.-rl'here are ways of developing a coal mine, and the perplexities attending the choice of the proper ine are aptly hit ofT in a pen and ink sketch, «by a native artist,” which adorns the wall of: the room wherein I write. It ip simply » ; rough . outline drawing of half-a-dozen would-be ope rators putting their heads together over a map and discussing the all-important question:! “Shall we slope, shaft or tunnel?”- The disJ eussion is greatly simplified and the conclusion; hastened by the voluntary assistance of a; , daughter of Erin, evidently the landlady, who; puts her head in at the door and remarks: '■« Ye’d better slope—the whole o’yecs!” It -p, ajoke 'indigenous to the coal regions, and >*ne which is highly appreciated there. i : Usually the character of the ground and the (arrangement of the strata at the point to be apened decide the question. A good' idea of r|he general disposition of coal veins -may be ♦btoined by setting a section of jelly-cake on «dge, and tilting it at any angle to the . surface efthe table. The layers of jelly will represent 'the coal, and the intervening cake the rocks between which it lies. Now hide the lower -part of the cake under a napkin,and the exposed portion will be a model of strata thrown up into a mountain, the napkin being the surface Of the earth, and the cake beneath it the corres : ponding portion of our globe. This illustra tion, be it understood, bears reference only to the coal reached by a single mine. To get an idea of the whole coal field, take the jelly-cake entire, double it in the form of the letter U, fay your napkin in the hollow, set another take in the same form, touching it, and another touching that, and so on, to the dozen or ■fifteenth cake. Each cake will then represent ‘ a “ coal basin,” and the whole a " coal field.” . ■ 1 Now let us return to our section, which is supposed to be a side of one of the aforesaid “basius.” If the operator finds a good place for bis breaker at the end of the mountain, or the edge of the cake, he digs a number of holes called “shaftings ” through the overlying earth, until he finds where the vein “crops out.?’ Into the vein thus found, if he judges it work -1 able, he diives a horizontal passage, following the curves and twistings of the vein as nearly as possible, but al way s keeping a uniform grade —just enough to let the mine water run out at the entrance. This is called a “ drift ’’—some times, though rarely in this country, an adit -fevel. But suppose he finds that his breaker * must be located on the side of the mountain. He now bores horizontally, as before, but through the rock this time, until he strikes a coal vein lying at right angles to the hole he is driving. This is a “tunnel,” and when the vein is reached, “ gangways” are driven along it on both sides of the tunnel,in the same man ner as the drift above mentioned. Gangways are incident to all coal mines however de veloped. They are long, narrow galleries, are always horizontal or nearly so, and always fol low the general tend of the vein, never leaving the coal except to cut off Borne sharp angle which may be met with as the work pro gresses. , To illustrate a “ slope,” we must slice off the Upper part of our jelly-cake, as it lies—or stands —inclined, in such a way that the layers of jelly may appear on the surface at different heights. Putting up our breaker on or near one ot these exposed veins, it is evident that we cannot follow it horizontally, because in tii«t direction there is nothing to follow. We, therefore, sink a slope, sloping, as its name de notes, and following the vein as deep as it is desirable to go—usually oue hundred yards for the first “ lift ’’—but not, generally, follow ing the vein as close as a drift. The cars must be drawn up this incline by means of a rope worked bya steam engine; and it is best to have a smooth, straight thick for them to run on. From the bottom of the slope gangways run at Tight, angles to it, as in the case of the tunnel. The “shaft” is simply an enormous well, ©nr breaker being located somewhere on the napkin, we know there is coal under it,and we dig a well until we reach it. It is a four-sided well, and may be,as is the shaft of the Hickory Coal Company, at Wadesville, fourteen feet wide one way, and twenty-two the other way. The drift and tunnel are called openings “above water “level,” because they are so ar ranged that the water, which is found in every mine, will run out at the entrance, and require no attention on the part of the operator, except to see that it has a chance to run off freely. But the water can only be removed from slopes and shafts by the use of machinery, and they are styled openings “ below water level.” Hence it is that of two collieries within a few hundred feet, of each other, at Tuscarora, one is below water level, though its opening is probably a hundred feet in perpendicular height above that of its neighbor, which is ■’above water level. Of course, every rhiladelphian is acquainted with these dry details; but they are inserted for the benefit of the Bulletin’s New York readers. Philadelphians will please skip the foregoing, and read only-the following descrip tion of the Hickory Shaft, which is one of the , lions of the Schuylkill coal field, and deserves to be typograplied (excuse the pun—l really couldn’t help it) before its fame is eclipsed by the mighty shaft which the Reading Rail ■ iroad Company threaten, to-sink near it. That is ext ected to be at least a thousand feet deep. Hiekory, then, will be a mere bagatelle, nevertheless, its six hundred and sixty-six feet are as yet unsurpassed in the region, and a tumble into it is no holiday trip (unintentional again), as one poor fellow found to his cost. Sewas repairing the pump, with an inch of board and five hundred feet of nothing at all between him and the bottom. He fell, and all that remained to be added to his biography was “finis." The visitor, stand ing on a platform thirty feet or so above the surface of the ground, gazing curiously perhaps at a'very black ana dirty coal car which stands innocently before him, experi ences a very peculiar sensation when a bell tinkles in the engine-room behind him, and the’ car suddenly disappears, leaving a yawning chasm where a moment before everything seemedas substantial as the timbers on which be stands. The first impulse is to go away from there; the next, to go and look down— ■ always taking care that the heavy wire cable which is spinning downward into the darkuess dees not take him with it. It takes about thirty seconds to transfer that car from plat form to gangway. It couldn’t do much better if it were to fall down. At the same time, and by the fame machinery, a loaded car is brought to the surface, and all the time the fomp is steadily raising ton after ton of black, flnlphur-laden water from the depths below and discharging it into the creek which runs at Hie foot of the hill. Below, the mine is much :#ke any other mine, When the lights mp out it is dark. None of your open tpf darkness, either, but the kind Moses had ;jp .Egypt—“thick darkness, which might be felt. You can feel it as you move your hand' .fe J ‘> And when you walk It brushes against 'yon. ! When the lights are burning, you see a Yrall of coal on either baud, a sloping rock overhead, and a passage high enough for -am'uld' to walk ip, and wide enough for a . yWneiwagon to pass, at the bottom of which two iron rails rellect your lamplight for a little distance, and beyond that, is dark iteea, Follow that track and it will lead you ■ ' tjl ■< THE DAILY EVENiEG ''BULLETiy—PHILADELPHIA, ,WEDHESijA^i' APRIL 13., 1870- 4 •, on and on,* past ghostly Bights and.ihysterious noises, while ovor the wall of blackness opens silently before you, and closes as silently be hind you, until, perhaps a mile from where you started, an irregular wall of coal closes up the passage-way, and you have reached the end of the mine—“the face of the gangway,” as the miners call it. Ever and anon, as you advance, u tall; form, clothed, in purest wbite, glimmers through the darkness, before you, and recalls to yonr startled mind how, in your school-boy days, ■ •• The sheeted ghosts Did mouth and gibber in thostroets of Borne.’’ But the ghost disappears as you approach, and you put ydnr hand on a prop, a log placed on end to support the roof, Which is clothed with & substance resembling the whitest, softest wool.; Masses of it bang from the timbers, or are[ scattered, over their surface in varied and often; beautiful shanes. Squeeze a handful of it, and) presto lit is gone. It has not dripped through; your lingers like water, nor escaped in a pulfj of smoke. It has not melted nor collapsed,, nor slipped away; but it is gone, and all that; is left of a mass as large as your two hands would hold is aiurop of dirty' white, stringy substance, scarcely as large as the end of your thumb. It is very, beautiful in its place, but it’ is impossible to pack it up and carry it home.. It is a kind af fungus, never found except in ; damp mines, and for which I have never ’heard a name. Nor is this the only contrivance they; have in these caverns to scare nervous, people. ; One’s imagination becomes painfully acute,and is ready to tak;e fright at every hew sight or sound. You turn a corner, and there meets yon an apparition with fiery eyes and uncouth shape’; and it needs a second glance to tell you that it is only a mule standing quietly on the track awaiting orders. Or you hear a rapid, fluttering noise approaching, and before you can get out of the way something dashes against your head and puts out your light. It is only a bat. The mines are full of them, and that is a way they have of amusing- them selves. Of you are standing beside a wall of coal, seemingly massive as the everlasting hills of whose roots it forms a part, when a quick explosion, sharp and clear as a rifle-shot, and loud as a park of artillery, sends you quaking With fear to the other side of the gangway. It is nothing—only a crack in the coal. Or yoUt" guide lifts his lamp to the roof, and instantly there is a flash as of light ning; or he touches it to a fissure in the coal, and a stream of fire flashes half-way across the gangway. It is coal-gas—sulphuretted hydro gen—the same which makes your, winter even ings cheerful in your home’ in the great city— and the dreaded ".fire-damp” of the miner. Being lighter than common air, it collects in hollow places in the roof, and may be readily exploded there. The fissure is a “blower,” and leads to some small cavity in which the gas has been pent up for ages, waiting to be let loose by a stroke of the mitier’s pick. These blowers are often fired by the miners to obtain light by which to work. They burn harmlessly for a while, but, if not watched, will ignite the coal. Two or three years ago, the Hickory .Slope, a sister colliery to this one, and communicating with it, was set oil fire by the carelessness of some workmen who, on quitting work on Saturday night, left a couple of blowers burning. They set fire to .the woodwork of the mine and to the eoal itself; and nothing but the fact of Us bein" on one of the lowest levels saved the mine. The pumps were stopped, surface water turned into the mine, and the fire finally drowned out. A ludicrous iucident, which might have been a tragical one, happened a few months ago at this shaft. An old superintendent was about to be rotated out of office and a new one ro tated in. The retiring officer, proud of the of his mine, which he had put in • apple-pie order, invited a large party of friends, including many’chief men of the company, to visit it with him on this last day of service. They went down In the morning, were much -pleased with the goueral appearance of things, and returned in the best of humor. They had been out of the mine but an hour or two when the fire-damp exploded, sweeping everything movable before it, and sadly disarranging the elegant order and neatness of the mine. For tunately it was not a very violent explosion, and the miners succeeded in escaping without injury. Sometimes these explosions bring down the roof of the mine, and sometimes it falls without their assistance; but, after the above list of dangers, perhaps it would he as well to add that there is no instance on record in which it fell on a visitor. Indeed, in the course of a somewhat extensile experience among coal mines, I hav« never heard of an instance in which a visitor to a mine was in any way injured. Their guides are always careful to keep them in safe places and out of harm’s way. And I have been assured by old and experienced miners that three-fourths of the accidents which befall the miners themselves are the result of their own carelessness. I have seen half a dozen miners riding in to work on a mine wagon, each with a lighted lamp on his head, and at least half of them with lighted pipes in their mouths, and each and every one of them had for a seat a keg full of powder! They think nothing of handling powder and filling blasts with lamp on head and pipe in mouth, and once in a while the lamp falls off, or the pipe drops a spark, and the consequence is another “ fatal accident.” I have heard men boast of-work ing in places so dangerous that the “ boss” did not dare to come near them. I have stood on the top of a rock as large as a meeting-house, under winch a man worked till he saw it start, then fled for his life, and only justsaved.it Then 1 looked up and saw “ a few more of the same sort left; ” and my curiosity to see what was going on in another part of the mine sud denly became uncontrollable. But lengthening columns warn me that I am trespassing on the patience of the reader, and although I have given but a fragmentary sketch of my subject. I must leave it, iu the hope that so far as 1 have undertaken to illustrate what was long a mystery to myself,! have at least partially succeeded. Wico. A Mew Play by Harden. Victor Sardou’s long expected drama of Fernande has succeeded Frou-Frou, at the Gymnase in Paris. We find this account of the new piece in a London weekly : j Fernande is a clever drama, showing i what has already been amply demonstrated;' : that M. Sai dou has every gift of the dramatist except the creative. Its action is marvelously direct, its interest is sustained, and its dinoii \ merit is at once thoroughly effective and free ; froth all appearance of theatrical artifice. But the story and the disposition of the characters are the work of a bigger man than M. Sardou, the entire motive being assignable to Diderot. I Readers whom the subtle humorandadmirable ; satire of “ Jaques le Fataliste” have persuaded i to overlook its gross obscenity may remember ! the story told by the hostess concerning the re : venge taken by Madame de La Pommeraye i upon her false lover. She causes him to 1 espouse, believing her a virgin, a woman whose life has been passed in the most shameful commerce. This story, unpleasant and un suited to dramatic uses as it seems, has been employed by M. Sardou, who has constructed on it a powerful drama, with less in it that is disagreeable than might have been expected. The main interest turns upon the fact that the wife is. penitent and has married her husband, ,in the belief that lie is acquainted 1 with and willing to overlook her past history. ’■ She lias written a letter .that she has every i reason to believe he lias received, avowing the ; nature of the life she has led—a life, be it I observed,' less infamous than that of I the hu j roiue of Diderot’s story. This letter becomes the means of her restoration to happiness. Her husband, when he witnesses the insult- ' ■ • l’T.v'' }.S "•/ .* V ing, triumph of tho woinfciu tojvvhusqYOugejinCG iiejjpS’Jfalle.n a victim, tjajjns fdryf #P<>“ Fbrnande and compels hei to'. inakq jvitibjhor own lips a confession of.

The Mtulaine dh la Porameraye ofDlderot is recliristenod Madame de la Itoscraie—a very slight alteration; the naiue, of . the f Marquis' des Aorte . is , pre served?
