NORTH CAROLINA'S COAL FIELDS- North Carolina Agricultural Bulletin. The coal fields of Chatham aud Moore, and those of Rockingham and Blokes, are regarded by scientists as future sources of great wealth to the Stale. Much has been written about them. The outcrops of the former were traced by Dr. Kminons for thirty miles, ami from indications ho Judged it extended ten miles more. One of tin: scams It six and a half feet thick. Tho area, as calculated by Guimons, Is 300 square mllui. The lighting and heating power of this coal bus been tested anil ound equal to that of the best In the market. Scants of coal huvo been fouud In Rockingham and stokes three and four feet thick, rent. Kerr says tho outcrops show that the coal Is continuous through tho whole length of the belt in this State, which Is abovo thirty miles. All the coal of the Southern States is distinctly bituminous ; these latter are seml-bltumlnous the nearest approach to anthracite that Is to be fouud south of rentioylrunla. Wo know al most nothing of our coal Holds except what is shown by the outcrops, and when we compare these surface indications with tho fact stated by Page In his Economic Geology, that the average thickness of seams which aro worked n Qreat Britain is from six to nine feet, we have every reason to put a very high estimate upon our own coal roiources to conclude that they would sullice for thu support of manu factures ef natloual Importance. Yet what these resources actually are, we are profound ly Ignorant. The process of boring In l'rof. Olmsted's 'lay wus slow and costly. Modern Inventive genius Is In uo more con spicaous than Iu this. Tha Beaumont Dia mond Drill may he regarded as hating re- -luced to a minimum both time aud cost In boring operations. It enables us to form a perfectly accurato Judgment of the successive strata through which II passes; siuce It brings up a "core," as It Is sly led of each. In uo way could a few thousand dollars be so henctlclally employed by the board as In this work curried on under the superintendence of the Ueologlst. It cannot be doubted that It the existence of coal in what Is called workable quantities shall be demonstrated, the discovery won il be fol owed by a great tuflux of capital and popu lation that our State would tpeedlly become the teat of great Iron and other industries.

As an edi tor and politician who has samtdeti the hurrahs of the populace and found the honors of to-day the curses of to morrow he hugs the retirement ol private Hie us sweeter iniui all the elory he has tasted. Ilolden has shown himself liberal to his political foes.

Courts, ex Treasurer of the Slate was on his deatl bed at (!ary n few weeks since, 11..I deu sent him word that he hoped soon to meet Ii i in on the shininc shore. When Mr. Courts left llaleiirh at tho close of the war he said to Ilolden that they ha been along time together as political friends of the same faith, hut now they must part forever, and Ilolden repliei that there were three men in Nori Carolina ho should always 'esteem iu tho burliest mid thev were Daniel Courts, Wesley Jones and David Ueid. And these three gentlemen, S. f all living, would testify to day, tl at political honors arc bubbles and the public breath a gust of wind, and th t the only substantial erenlness which will last all lime aud endure thtou all changes is the honor of striving with trod Almighty a help to bo gen crous, just and good.

The first experience of love is a glorious peep at Ileaven; and there is no sweeter or tenderer or a more sotil-bewitcliing, and sotil-enchantiiig emotion than the one experienced bj tho young and pure aud ardent and Mushing maiden, when she trem blingly opens for the first time iu life ic sacred door ot her heart, and bids her chosen one enter tho hallowed treasury of her Uotlsiiven wealth, and enjoy tho uncounted riches of her in exhaustible vaults of devotion. It has been beautifully said that "h iiimiti na ture Ikih no essence more pure, the orld knows nothing more chaste, I'aven has no feeling more holy lan the nascent affections of a ve in's soul." To her, life is rosy-tinted, ind earth seems bathed in tha (rag- anee shaken out of the (lowers of Par adise, and scattered down by the anils of Peri. The scenes which are then unfolded, break as beautiful upon er rapture-dazzled vision as the cot uscant glories of shattered, auttim- al sunsets. And whilo the inception f this fooling at first comes as faintly s the silver bistro ot a glimmering star through a bower of Spring foliage, and tnakos an impression almost as slight as tho shadow cast by a rose- cut upon marble," still it comes in tho beauty of its own" sweet faith to stay and to build its everlasting fires of devotion upon tho new found shrine of idolatrous worship. And while the lisihtof this Heaven kindled ro rises as gradually as the sun earns, when morning's crimson lin gers lirst toticli and wake them, nd start them out to kiss the dew-drops from the llowets, yet it continues to spread and grow until ever chamber of tho bosom is filled with flames of celestial beauty, and icn, breaking out of tho open win- ows of uflectionato demonstration it goes unrestrainedly loutlh to show the eathless and glorifying light of its wn eternity ot rapture. And, about that time, any fellow can tell ''she's got it and got.it badly." TRIBUTE TO A NOBLE WOMAN. HOW MILS. HOKHMNQ AIOKD II KH IIUS1UM) IN TUB UltEAT UNDEltTAKINO.

LOST LOCOMOTIVE A locomotive ran through a broken bridgo on tho Kansas Pacific Rail way, across Kiowa creek, several years ago, sinking into the mud at the bottom, and has never since been heard from, though repeated efforts ave been made, by digging and boring, to recover so valuable a piece of property. The bottom is quicksand but even quicksand have limits, aud seems very singular that longest bor- ng-rod has failed to Uud any trace ot io sunken engine. By and-by the silent ystenous operation will drain the uicksand and harden it into rock, and then, long aller tho Kansas Pa ne road has been forgotten, and the Kiowa creek has vanished from tho ap, some future scientist will dis cover a curious piece ot mechanism, undoubtedly the work of human ands, lying under so many huudred et of Btandstone, and will use the fact as a basis of calculating how many million years old tho human race must be.

EVERT REAPER WILL TRY IT- West Indians have a curious test for determining whether a person hus negro blood in his veins. It is called the nose test. The negro has no di vision in the gristle or cartilageuous substance of his nose, such as all of pure white blood can leel at its tip with the end ot the linger, this is the ast thing to yield to the white acces- lon. Any negro blood is marked with nose the gristle of which is uudivi- ed, and thu object of putting this paragraph in is to provo that nojperson will read it through without touching tho finger to the nose. And few peo- u alter they have done it can tell w hether they are white or black.

A babe in a house is a well spring of pleasure. Whatever it worth doing at all Is worth doing well. To enjoy to-day, stop worrying about to-morrow. Nothing great was ever achieved without en thusiasm. Happiness depends upon tho prudent consti tution ot habits, Wo track the steamlet by the brighter green and livelier growth It gives. lie who murmurs at hit lot Is like ono baring bit feet to tread upon thorut. Tou may depend upon it that he it a good man whoiii Intimate friendt aro all good, Charity oblige! us not to distrust a man; pru dence not to trutt hi in before wo know him. Retribution ttands with uplifted axe, and rank aud robct ot sanctity cannot stay Its blow. It Is great art and philosophy of life to make the best of the present whether it be good or bad. The more solicitous a man is to bo Informed of a secret, the more desirous bo Is to reveal It. Be loving, and you will never want for love. Be humble, uud you will nevor want for guid ance. We should look at the lives ot all as at a mirror, and take from others an example fur ourselves. One of the lesions which young peoplo have to learn by experience is the power of deeds and words. Rashness generally ends In folly und shame. oung tneu aro exhorted in Scripture to be so- :r minded. Power turns a deaf ear to the reproachos of those who nro without Hie power of redressing their wrongs. The darkest chapter In tho nature of man is tho tendency to pull down the reputation of Is fellow man. Take up one by ono the plain, practlcil de licti that lie nearest to hand uud perform llictn as fu.t as possible. For a man to think that ho is going to do the work ot his life without obstacles, is to dream In the lap of fully. It sounds like stories from the land of spirits, if any man obtain that which .ho merits, or merit that which he obtains. He who is false to present duly, breaks) flaw In the loom, and will find the 11 ir when he may have forgotten lis cause. A man should never he ashamed to own lie as been in thu wrong which Is but saying in other words that he Is wiser to day than ho was yesterday. There is no short cut lo excellence. Iu every eparlmcnt of human achievement superiority Is based upon toil, and success is reached only by effort. Tlioi'o are ninny men who appear to be strug gling against poverty, and yet me liappv; but et more who aro ulthough abounding iu wealth, are miserable. No man Is a gentleman who, without provoca tion, would Insult the humblest of his species. It is a vulgarity for which uo accomplishment an ever atone.

Mr. and Mrs, Swtlllngt-nn Jones discussing the success of their ball: "My dear, who is that fellow over there looking at the pictures?' "Don't know, my dear." "Who brought him here!" "Don't know, my dear." "Well, get his name correctly, and lake good eara not to havo him here a;ln. ITo don't talk; ho don't dance; he la very common looking, and lis eats like sixty."
