Canada's Coal.

Some years ago an enormous deposit of anthracite coal was discovered in Canada, and it was thought that if a duty was not placed upon it our miners in Pennsylvania would be driven from the field. Somebody secured a specimen of the Canadian anthracite and sent it to asa vant at Yale, who was asked to give his opinion upon it. He made an examination of it, and wrote back: “Myopinion, after a careful examination of this coal, is that the man who sits upon it on the day of judgment wi|l be the last to burn."
