The long day in Spitzbergen ex? tends over several months, during , which the sun never sets; it becomes intensely hot after a month or two by the unceasing heat of the ann. lu this period vegetation springs np in great luxuriance and abundance. 73f* ?elgi?u?T claim to have been the first to discover the uses of coal, asd thia- ?scovery, they say, was i made^ by one Hullos, a blacksmith of the viuftgOjof Pion evanx, near Liege, in^h?jrear i^49, from whoso name they derive the word "houille." OT rip} European nations, Prance shows the slowest Tate of increase in population? :Tfc? 27,000,000 of 1?01 had only increasetl by 9,000,000 in 1861. Daring the same period Great Britain had increased from 10,000,000 to 23,000,000, and this in spite of emigration. Tue operation of cutting the Koh i-noor diamond occupied thirty-eight days of twelve hours per day, without intermission. Some parta of the stone were so hard, that in six hours time, with the wheel revolving 2,400 times per minute, scarcely any pro? gress was niado. The finest steam coal in the world is found near Pekiu, china, where there is a coal-field of 300 square miles in extent.-London Engine*;*: The editor of a Cincinnati paper recently had occasion to pay a visit lo Dayton, in the cars. He says ho noticed a gentleman and lady seated in close juxtaposition, aud judging from their condnct, one would well imagine that they were exceedingly intimate. In front of the comfortable pair, sat two gentlemen, editors of two German papers, of this city. When near Dayton the train passed through a long, "dark bridge. Among the thundering and rattling of the oars, a very suspicions concussion was heard, by those nearest the! gentleman and lady alluded to. A? we omerge&into the daylight, one of the Gerinah^ editors slowly" drew his spectacles down over his nose, and exclaimed, "Veil, I tink dat i sh a tam bad bridge. / heard him cr<?cl? one, liso, titree, four limes!'" Tho lady drew down her veil, and for the remainder of the trip, these pair looked mute and quiet. Little Lizzy's father and mother were looking at some pictures in which little naked angels were quito conspicuous. "Lizzy, dear, if you are a good girl, and go to heaven, you will be like those angels." Lizzy looked up with a Up that told at onoe that she didn't appreciate the promise, and mid : "I want to be batter dressed than that when I go to heaven." Mrs. Saturn, one of the ladies-in waiting upon the sun, is said to have been the first lady tba? wore hoops. High authority for the fashion, that; ana the way men have been gazing at them for ever so many yearn shows that they admire them. A man passing through a gateway in the dark, hit his nose against a post. "X wish that post was in hell," said he. "Better wish it somewhere else," coolly remarked a bystander, "you mig?&stm against it again!" carrying on aa Illicit and criminal intercourse with a Mrs. Bayard, from Pittsburg; living with ber ia varian* parta of lue city, while his wife and family radded m another direction. Tins. beUe amie has had him arrested, accusing him of robbing her of $2,000, which abe bad ia a belt about her person, he having taken it, as alleged at the time, to keep safely for her, bat which, as she says, he now refuses to return. The case was examined be? fore a magistrate, and Mr. Siegf rieud was required to give a heavy bead conditioned for his appearance at court to answer the charge. A SUBSTITUTE FOB AN lea PITCHER. -People who have no ice pitchers wilt be glad to know that there is a very simple method of keeping ice water for a long time in. a common pitcher. Between two sheets of paper Elace a layer of cotton batting about alf an inch in thickness, and form a cylinder by fastening the ends of the paper and batting together. Then ROW or paste a crown on one end, so as to make a box the shape of aatove pipe hat, minns the rim. The cy Under should be made large enough to go entirely over the pitcher, 6o that the open end will rest upon the 'table or sideboard, and titus exclude the air. Any one trying this simple method of keeping ice water cool, will ho astonished at tho length of time it will preserve. the coldness of the water. An exchange says that when apicco of iron is thrown into a trough where chickens drink water, they are not affected with chicken cholera. A gentleman who has tried it says that his chick ona are thriving, while fho?e of his neighbors are dying daily. AS the chicken cholera is raging to some extent throughout the country, it might bo well to try iL Iron will not hurt fowls, nnd a trial of it might lie beneficial. A printer not long since, having been "flung" by his sweetheart, wont to the office to commit suicide with the ".shooting-stick." The thing wouldn't go off. The "devil," wish? ing to pacify him, told him to go into the sanctum, where the editor was writing duns to delinquent subscri? bers. He says thatpictnre of despair reconciled him to his fate-. The devoted parents of a Colum? bus, Ohio, young lady furnished her with a splendid wardrobe for a trip to New York, in order to save her from tho addresses of an objectionable young mau. Miss packed np the dresses, und afterwards packed off with tho young niau who had paid the addresses. A person, in New York State, was sitting in au opea shop door, when, apparently, two flashes of lightning met directly over his head and pass? ed down his body, nearly stripping him of his clothes, and threw his .shoes some feet in tho air. ' Strange to say, ho was not killed, but only received slight damage. The Pittsburg Gazette tells a i tough story of au in faut in that city, who was killed by a rat whilo lying asleep in its cradle. After the corpse had been laid out in thc parlor, it waa left unwatched for a few minutes, during which ti ino the rahs devoured the entire face and both arms. A lady, commenting upon the pre? sent style of short coats wornbymun kind, says they present to a person at all belligerent a temptation difficult to he resisted. A young man advertised tor a wife, and received 1,800 answers from hus? bands, saying that he could have theirs. This shows the value of ad? vertising. A man ia Albany is troubled with a atrangn mania. He thinks he is a cancer. Very recently, lie nearly ato the side of a poor fellow's face off, and was then locked np.
