year, and that nn advance cf 20a more la threat
ened. Already contracts live beer made for
an early future, baaed on tbe prioe of 90s, a ton.
Th« art ranee in coal is equivalent to {St ton,
or iCOO 000,000 on the consumption of a slrg'e
year. Ono can hardly imagine tbs hardship
.neb an advance would be in this country.
Only a few days ego, in Parliament, Hr. Glad,
atone was asked wbeibtr i: was the intention or
within tbe power of tbe Government to pro.
hibit the 1 sport of cost. He replied it was not,
and eiiei treaties with several powers to show
it* exportation coaid not be re-tric ed so long
as these treaties lasted. Ho added that even if
'car hard i were free, tbe Government would
not ask Parliament to impose inch a restric
tion " Two weeks ago, railway stocks in Eng
land were affected by tbe ptiee of ooal, and
steamebip oomptnits and ail lart,e consumers
of ooal were looking wiatfnUy into the future.
At Eaed-f, Ifce corporation were so “.hort" of
ooal si to be a'armed at tbe prospect of a fail-
ore of gee. Tbe; bad bat two days' sopply on
band, and oonld got no more. Parcbaaen of
ooal, money in band, are compelled to wait a
week or fortnight for tbe fulfillment of in ordtr.
The Uaryleboao Hea'th Offlcerrepirts “great
prirstiona " smong tbe bumbler clieaet of bis
district. At Woolwich, the Local Board elates
that the poor are “ positive!; starring.” Those
who have ooal cannot ke p op a fire uli day, bnt
hive this luxury cnly when preparing their
scant; meals. Tbs Manchester Guardian, treat
ing of tbe situation, aa;c “It is acaroely pos
sible (o exaggerate tbe gravity of tbe issues in
volved in tbe growing ecircity and dcameaa of
our ooal supply, bo rapidly baa (he relation of
production to demand contracted, that prices
have gone np by leaps and bounds, cntil they
now atand 100 to 100 per oenL higher than tbe
quotations current little more than twelve
months ago.” This, too, in an article of prime
necessity in every household. And It to added
that tbe present distress is aggravated by tbe
impossibility of seeing a way through and out
of the difficulty, and tbe consequent helpless
ness in tbe face of it.
At tfce bottom of this difficulty is the present
method of working coal measnres, tbe stnkea of
laborers, tbe grave feet that as tbs mines grew
deeper tbe cost of prodnctionincreuer, and tbe
fact tost the n-e of ooal to so wasteful and ex-

From the New York Tost. 1
Some years ago an eminent publisher gave
LordLytton .£20,000 for tho use of twenty of
nia navels for e railway library. It to said that
this ia the largest sum ever paid In England for
a copyright. Tto moat successful publica
tion* of tho day, howovar, from this point of
Tiew, are Dot novel*, but eermons. It if s*iu
that the representative* of the tote Bev. F. W.
liobertson, of Brighton, have received in tbe
ooorse of some years, upwards of A30.900 for
the publication of the vinous volumes left at
bte death.
Mr Boberieon's sermons are even Included
in the Tanchnitz edition of English authors.
With tho exception of Scott and Dickens, Lord
Ljtton probably made more money than any
British author; and what U more, he kept it

of tho faeeand it* appendagee. After tho beard
bad been taken iff—and it was done ia a very
short time —the barber took a long, sharp,
needle beaded spoon, and began to explore the
customer's ear. Then the barber suddenly
twisted lhe subject’* neck to one (ids in each s
manner that it cracked as if tha vertebra bad
been dislocated. ‘'Hold on!’’ ehonted lhe
party, alarmed for the safety of bis neck. “All
right,” replied the tonsor; “me no hurt you,

He then fell to heating the back, breast, arms,
and sides with bis fi-ts, pommelled the mtuoles

Tsx most elegant and easily costume ever
mads in Paris area sent Io a lady for the fancy
dress bail in New York. Tha first outside skirt
to made of gold cloth; over the front cf this
are extended threats of pearls, so aa to ferm
squares; in tbe centre of each is a difitrent
flower made of imitation jewels. Tbe second
jape to made of white satin, embroidered in
silver, with a finance of gold toes placed round
the edge, and turning npwards. The heavy
folds on each side are retained by jewels, and
the long pointed enraage to eoverod with them
in front. The court mantle of aky-blae satin
to cacght np on the shoulders underneath a
ruff of gold lace npheld by invisible wires;
the mantle has no ornament whatever, but fa
faced all round with ermine. Strings o!
pearls and diamonds adorn the neok and arms.
In tho high coiffure, Duthe style, to to be
placed a miniature vessel under fall sail; over
this, garlands of flowers are strewn, and servo
to retain the structure in its position. The
costume cost nearly two thousand dollars, in
cluding the jewels and lace; more than two
months were spent npon the drawings and sub
sequent preparation of the drees.

The proprietors avail theifiselves of the
lull in advertising to present their claims
again to the public. Nothing within the
range of onr ability is omitted to make
tbe Telegraph and Messenger in all
its editions acceptable to tbe reader. As
a vehicle of the earliest news on ail cur
rent topics—and of careful and candid
exposition, we concede no superior in this
State.
In point of circulation in the range of
the country trading with Macon, tho dif
ferent editions of the paper are far be
yond competition. They literally per
vade tbe Central and Southwestern coun
ties of Georgia—addressing and inform'
ing almost every merchant and house
hold.
No business man of Macon can afford
to bo without the use of these columns
as an advertising medium. No one abroad
seeking a market for any commodity in
this region can intelligently dispense with
their aid in facilitating that object.
For successive generations these two
papers, united for the past three years in
one, have commanded this great field of [
circulation, and their hold on tho public
confidence has never been disturbed or I
interrupted. We are to-day with a larger I
cash paid circulation than ever before,
and we hope to go on increasing with the
progress of the country. We do not say I
it is the “largest circulation,” but within
