Coal ou Not Coal.?Some days ago we made
llio niiiiouiiccmeol (lint l'rofcssor ISibikov, a
Kussiuti scientist, had discovered lignite or
brown coal on Mr. l'aul P. Hammond's place
near Augusta, and tliat lie considered it of possibly
great value in cheapening fuel. Professor
llolmcs, of Charleston, is out in a long card denying
thut Professor liibikov had made any
discovery ; that the existence of the deposit
had been known for many years, but that tlio
lignite was no iuoio combustible than granite.
He also hctd that the deposits were of ton recent
a date to contain anything more than fossil
wood. Professor liibikov, nothing daunted, returns
to the charge, lie says lie docs not
claim the original discovery, but ho docs claim
the honor of showing that it can be utilized.?
The lityialer says tliul gas of superior quality
was made l>y 1'rofessor It. in Columbia Hum tins
lignite, ami that the lignite is combustible. Wo
presume wo shall have U scries of experiments
to decide the question between these two learned
scientists.
We would say, however, that it is not always
safe to argue against the existence of coal from
geologic indications. Years ago it was laid
down as un infallible rule that coal is always to
bo found in the geological strata belonging to
(he carboniferous period and none other. One
of the wants of the Pacific coast was coal. California
was the land of wonders. Almost every
metal had been found there. The people thought
they might also find coal. The Stnle Geologist,
Whitney, mndc an exploration and reportcJ an
utter nqscucc of coal in the Slate, llut some
old miners had no faith in new-fangled sciences,
and they determined to prospect for coal n-?
they liad done in former years for gold. Amid
the sneers of the geologists they wcut to work.
To the wonder of all a vein was struck, producing
an abundance of coal of a very fair variety,
'flic scientists then had to admit the existence
of coal, but t hey justified themselves by showing
that it was an anomaly, ami belonged to a
.i:?r,..-. ill oiowli fi-.nn nil fit,- ever fuiiml be
fore. Science was ut a discount among tlie
miners for some years. If this thing occurred
in California why may it not happen in South
Carolina? If the Kussiau savant has actually
made gas and burned up this lignite, it looks as
if he were coming the California game on the
scientists. We shall anxiously await developments.?

Couuin's $10.ooo.?When the Republican
Senate of the Forly-tifih Congress failed to decide
that Corbin, of South Carolina had n claim
to a seat in that body, they gave him $10,000 of
the people's money to mitigate his disappointment.
Corbin shoved the money into his pocket
and went out West to look up an investment.?
lie found it in Denver. A nice looking gentleman,
of pleasant address, quiet.y sought him
out, and informed him that he had come into
possession of several gold bricks, which he
would sell at a great sacrifice, provided the
transaction was kent secret. lie did not like to
explain how lie got (lie bricks, nml lichee his
leasou fur disposing of tliem at a good deal less
than their market value. Corbin replied that
he wasn't a judge of gold bricks and could not
tell their value.
"Oh, you may take them to an nss.iyer and
have any test yen please made," replied the accommodating
gentleman. The result was u
quick bargain. Corbin exchanged his $10,000
in greenbacks for the bricks and next day went
to make a convenient disposition of bis largely
augmented and nnwieldly wealth. lie was informed
that his purchase was a fraud ; the
i>...I >nnli<tit nnd'Corbin bad been
done for .iy a lot of "bunko" men.
"Rebel tJeorgo," a well known confidence operator,
who bad ma le tbc sale, quickly jumped
tbe town, with the $10,000 in bis pocket, tuul
left bis pals in tbe lurch, not eveu stoppiug to
pay tbc man who invested $o80 for the material
to fix up the swindle. The defrauded conspirator
consequently gave the thing away, and in his
desire to avenge himself upon "Rebel tieorge,"
bas come to Washington to persuade Corbin to
return to Denver and prosecute.? Waahinjlon

(iuKW Tin: Wonii rou His Corns.?A remarkable
story is told of tbe late Capt. Stone, of

from New Orleans to Moundsville to make his
home, and brought with him two seeds of a mahogany-like
tree that Nourished near his former

COSSIF ABOUT THE CONKL1MO- J
SPRAOUB RUMFU8.
Tho Northern paper* are filled with conflicting
accounts and interviews concerning
the recent scandalous rumpus between Senator
OonUing and ox-Senator SpragucnfcNarrjgansett
Pier. The Washington 1'ust, of
Tuesday, noticing the origin of the affair,
says :
There are now iu Washington many who
will reni'.-mber the first appearance of Kute
Phase in social circles hero. She was young,
vivacious and beautiful : thoroughly educated
and brilliant. Site had bccu the intimate
companion of her father ever since his
entrance upon the political arena, aud moio
than once had he relied on her tact and
beauty to pull him through sharp political
contests. In 1801, when at tho zenith of <
her social power, she lent a powerful hand (
towards making her lather, the ilicu Chief
Justice, the candidate of the Kcpublicau (
party for President. Hhe had been for sev- ,
era I years the constant associate and chief {
confidante of her father, and had become
acquainted with his ambitions, his friends
and his strength. She studied politics with
the zeal of a newly Hedged orator, and devoted
her whole mind uud energies to the
one object of placing her father iu the
Presidential chair. It was a part of her
ambition ulsj to reign as the lirst lady of
the land. .She often talked with her frit, lids
on this subject, and her marriago with Senator
Spraguc was generally believed to be
one that had ouly this end in view ?
Spraguo at that time was i mmensely wealthy,
and the Chase party needed moucy.?
Spraguo also imperiously controlled the polities
of Rhode Island, and his money and
influeuee were worth having iu behalf of a
Presidential candidate. The scheme failed,
however. Lincoln was renominated, and ;
.Judge Chase became detached 'roui his j
party. In 18G8, however, he was prorni- |
iicntly mciitioiietl as a possible Presidential
candidate before the Democratic Convention,
and his daughter, who had at that time become
Mrs. Spraguo, again took an active
part in his behalf. She was then recognized
in Washington as cue of the bright- 1
est, wittiest and most fascinating women at :
the National capital. Iter passion, as wed
as her aptness for politics and political intrigues,
seemed to increase with her social
power. She cultivated public men until
she know a large number quite intimately,
and even so late as 1S7G, though known but
to few, exercised an influence upon the last
Presidential election, which kept one man's
mouth shut and possibly changed the result 1
altogether. Her acquaintance with Sena- '
tor Conkling had ripened into relations of
the most confidential nature. It is believed
that she exercised over him a powerful in- 1
tiucnce. It is even declared by many who
had iVcqucnt opportunities lo kuow Couk- J
line's opinions daring the electoral struggle
tUut Ivu vim withheld by M is. Sprauue's in- 1
flucnco from publicly declaring bis convic- '
tiou tliat Tilden was the rightfully elected 1
President, and that his hitherto unaecouu- '
ted for vaseillatiou was attributable to tliis !
cause. At one time he boldly declared that 1
the frauds practiced in Louisiana and Flor 1
ida furnished all the basis necessary lor an '
overthrow of the pretext that Hayes was '
elected, and for the swearing in of Til Jen. '
lie made no secret of his disgust at the efforts
of John Sherman and others to count '
in Hayes; and, it is asserted, agreed to make !
a speech denouncing the fraud, but nothing
came of it. Mrs. Spraguc occupied a front
seat in the members' gallery of the Senate ,
every during the exciting count, although
nobody thought of her as anything but a
spectator. The day that Senator Conk ling
was to rise in his scat and demolish the
fraud arrived, and those familiar with the
programme were in their seats. Senators
Alcorn, Spencer, Conovcrand several other
Republicans were to vote with him against
the approval of the partisan decision of the |
doctoral commission. Kuough Republican
voters had been secured to make Itis victory
certain. Col. l'elton, Mr. Hewitt, of
Now York, and many other prominent Tilden
managers, had scats in the gallery lor
the purpose of hearing ('(inkling's speech.
To their utter amazement, however, he
did not appear at all, and it was also observed
by some bright people that Mrs.
Sprague was absent for the lirst time.?
Senator Alcorn, in fulfilment of his word
lirst voted to reject the decision of the commission,
but alter he discovered that something
had gone wrong, changed his vote so
as to make it accord with his party. It was
subsequently discovered that the shrewd
Radical managers of the Zacli Chandler
stripe had overcome Conk ling by winning
Mrs. Sprague over to their side. They l
had persuaded her to take an interest in I
Hayes' s success, and, it is said, she kept i
the New York Senator, on whom so much j
depended, from appearing at the Senate I
chamber that day. I
Now that tile scandal is made public, a i
thousand incidents of the relations of Mrs. '
Sprague and Senator Conkling are told.? I
That they frequently rode out together 1
until very late hours, is prc*ty well known I
to many. A family driving towards Kdgo- |
wood, just after the extra session, stopped a !
runaway horse hitched to a coupe. Within i
a short time Senator Conkling appeared on <
(lie road and claimed the horse and vehicle, i
It had already been recognized as the prop- i
city of Mrs. Sprague, and tin. family dis- !
covered that the horse had broken away <
from its it ther while unattended. I
Telegraphic information rocci.cd here I
last night stated that Mrs. Sprague had, i
in view of the late behavior of her husband, I
left him for all time, ami the opinion is free- I

NAHitAiiANsKiT I'll.:;, August 10.? j
Karly this morning th?ro was an unusual
itir in tho hotels, for it had beeu announced
that a Sunday paper, which would arrive
iiore from Newport, would contaiu.a lull and
complete account of the Sprague va Conk ling
leusatiou. Uu?urtuuately for all the parties
soucerncd the truth has uot yet fully appeared
here, but I give it you uow from u
tource as to which thero can bo no question
flic trouble arose not between any professor
jf German and ex-Governor Sprague, but
between ex-Govoruor Sprague and Seuator
Coukling. Tho affair occurred on Friday
livening Either on Weduesduy uight or
Thursday morning Senator Coukling ar
1 VT II! UriiL 1_ .
riven in narragausoit t ier. n uu nun, or
[liter him, came a trunk and a large valise.
These articles of baggage were taken to the
Spraguc mansion by the dircctiou of Senator
Conkliug. lie remained there as a visitor
the next day, and was on a hotel piazza
during the next evening conversing with
some ladies. During Friday afternoon
Governor Spraguo was observed driving
about Narrugunsctt pier, hnviug been at
home eutertaining his guests the uight previous,
though ho had beeu absent for a day
or twdjjeforc. IIo had a gun with hiui,
which it is believed that hu loaded earlier
in the day. Fiually he drovo to the ronr of
his house, which is about a mile and a half
from the pier, and came through the house
iu a somewhat excited condition. "lie got
out to the piazza, where he found Senator
Conkliug conversing with Mrs. Spague,
who was at a window. Governor Spraguo
then said, addressing Senator Conkliug,
"Arc you aruiod, sir?" and Conkliug replied:
"No, L aui not." "Then," said ex-Governor
Spraguc, "I give you
FIVE MINUTES TO QF.T OFF
these premises. If you arc nota.vayl will
firo at you." Kx-Goverucr Spraguc is said
thou to have made use of some further cxasperatinglauguago.
Senator Conkliug seeming
much surprised but remembering that
he was under ex-Governor Sprague's roof,
rose and walked a few steps away while
Mrs. Spraguo cauio out of the house and
stood between theui." Ex-Governor Spraguo
stood looking at Souator Conkliug while a
carriage drove up which had been ordered to
take Mrs. Spraguc for a drive. When Mrs.
Spraguc found that ex-tiovcrnor Spraguc
was apparently determined ou an unplensaut
scene she called for her hat aud shawl,
which Mrs. Martin, a friend and a guest in
the house, brought her. In the house at
the time as guests were Mr. and Mrs. Martin
and Miss Martin and Mrs. Alexander,
is well as Senator Conk ling. A story which
lias been circulated here that Senator Conkling
carried an invalid out of the house is
nonsense. He went away entirely alone.
After cx-Covcrnor Sprngue repeated his
peremptory order to Mr. Conkling to quit
iiis house there was some hesitancy ou the
part of the New York senator as to what
aV>uu\d lei Uuue, hut seeing no hope of a
rational solutiou he finally took his hat and
mteriug the carriage went down to the pier,
stopping on the way at Hillington's restaurant.
Scarcely had he arrived there and
jot out of the conveyance than ex-Governor
Sprague, who had followed, came up,
md it is therefore certain that the latter
must have kept his horse hitched up ready
['or use to follow Senator Coukling. On the
rrrivai of ex-Governor Sprague at Hillingion's
another exchange of words took place,
out there is not the slightest testimony to
ilrow that at any time a hand-to-hand encounter,
such as has been spoken of freely
here to day, took place. Hut it is certain
that there was an excited and threatening
eollot|uy between the two outside of the
most public spot in the whole place, and
thus it came to pass that the most exaggcra
ted rumors were set in motion. Sifted down
the foregoing are the principal facts it: the
case, so far as Mr. Conklingand Mr. Spraguc
are concerned. As to the alleged cause ol
the hostility of Mr. Spraguc to Mr. Conkling
it is <?i?ly certain that the German
teacher, so indisercc'.ly and foolishly brought
into clic matter, had nothing whatever to do
with it. On Thursday night, according to

sleep. Ho said to a tradesman here the
next Jay that his lniml was troubled, that
he could not get any rest, and that someone
had to he cleared out ol his house that Friday
night. His movements during Friday
morning were noticed by a good many people
as being very strange, but no one thought
that he contemplated personal injury to
any individual.

Alter the encounter Mrs. Spraguc went
to a Mr. Ferry's near by and subsequently
to the Tower House, where it is understood
she remained over night. Yesterday she
gave orders to have her trunks packed at
the ex (inventor's house and put on the
train for l'rovidcncc. She sent her children
and maid to the depot nearest the
Tower Hill House and said she would take
the cars at the Xarragansctt Pier Depot,
which she subsequently did, and met her
family higher up the line. Ucfore her departure
for Providence, however, 31 rs.
Spragw went to the Lake Side House,
near Silver Lake. She drove there and
called out Professor Liuck, who is the Herman
t ai'her Inwards; ivlwun Xnnaf?r Stnrainm
is said to led such a pronounced antipathy.
She exchanged a low words with him,
which may have given rise to the introduction
of his name into the story Soon aftcrwards
Mrs. Spngue went to the i'ier
lepot for i'm/idencc. Kx-iiovcrnor
Spraguc went to Providence yesterday, hut
In: did not see his wife, going on a different
train That ex Senator and Mrs. Spraguu
have been on most unhappy terms for some
time is matter of general notoriety here.?
A few weeks ago a gentleman whose family
no staying at Narragansett I'ier called on
Mrs. Sprague, and, sending in his card, saw
her. i Ie had known her many years, but bad
never met Iter husband. lie suggested to
Mrs. Sprague that he would like to leave
a card for the ex-senator personally, as he
desired *o hnvo the pleasure of meeting
him. Mrs. Sprague in reply said that she
was quite unable to answer for anything
that Mr. Sprague might think or do. She
had taken no responsibility for his conduct
for a long time, and it was not likely that
sho could long remain iu tho sauio house
with him. It has been known here for
souio time that ex?Governor Snrairuc has
contemplated selling the house in which
this unpleasant incident took place. A
treat deal of* unnecessary scandal has been
created by the injudicious story of a squabble
over the German professor, which has
uot lost anything during the day by the
commentaries of the people at the hotels.
PEAS-OATS-CLOVER.
1. 'How many peas can be made to the
acre on land that will make tiftccu buslu-ls
of corn?
2. Arc spriug oats more uncertain and
more exhausting to laud than fall oats?
3. Are white oats preferable to black or
red oats for spring sowing ?
4. Should clover be sown in the spring
or fall, with grain, or t? itself?'?Jew J'eter,
Mineral Springs, Arkausas.
AnswEti:
1. From two thirds to three-fourths il-t
much peas as corn uiay be made, provided
the laud is devoted exclusively to peas aud
they are properly cultivated, in some exceptional
cases, where the land is better
adapted to peas than corn, the ratio may be
still greater.

more uncertain than iall oats. Almost the
only gauntlet the latter has to run, is wiu
ter killing. They couie toward so early,
that they very rarely sutler from drought?
the dampness of the earth from the winter
rains being generally sufficient to make the
crop?and for same reason, seldom suffer
from rust. Where the red rust proof is
sown, there is no danger whatever ou this
last score. In the Northern portious of
the cotton belt, there is considerable danger
from winter killing, but this may in
part be obviated by early sowing (1st September
to 1st October,) ploughing in well
and manuring so as to get strong, healthy,
well-rooted plants before the freezes come,
and seeding thickly?2 to 2 bushels p.?r
acre?the weakest plants will then be killed
out and the strong left. Uet a healthy
nlant well rooted and well-fed. and it can
withstand a groat deal of cold?a hallstarved
one will succumb very readily.
Spring oats arc liable, first, to be killed
if a heavy freeze strikes them just as they
arc coming up?iu the next place, ripening
late, drought is very apt to cut short
the crop, and for same reason, rust is almost
sure to attack, unless a rust proof variety
is sown. The opinion is general that spring
oats are more exhausting to land than those
sown in fall. One reason may be, that the
hitter being harvested earlier and be lure
very hot weather sots in, allows a heavier
growth of weeds to conic upon the laud.
Crab grass is apt to follow spring oats?ragweed,
fall oats.
11 lied oats decidedly preferable, if the
. land is good enough to give them sufficient
height, because, equal iu other respects,
they ei.joy iu addition, immunity from
rust.
4. On upland, sow clover in September,
( by itself, if you want to make the best clover.
On bottom lands may be sown in
spring with most excellent results. If your
laud is poor and you wish to improve it,
sow with small grain, manuring the grain
and letting the latter pay the expense of
manuring, whilst the clover, feeding upon
the residuum of the manure left in the soil,
will make u good growth, and lay the foundation
for permanent improvement of the
, soil.?Southern Cultivator.
