quistivc gentlemen who affect great xety to know

arisen in the political or philosophical world.
After the publication Of the Allison letter the old hero
made resolve that he would write more letters.

city he went round to the sanctum Of Col Hodge. OF
the Bulletin, and giving him the manuscript of that
celebrated epste requested him to strike oil 1000 cop

energetic contemporary. And now, whenever the old
hero receives of these caechetica epstles, with
out putting hmselft The trouble of reading IL through,
he quietly sits down folds up Of the Allison copies,
and transmits II to his inquirng friend and CORES

From THE SALT IsLANps-The season just COM
menced bids fair to be exceedingly favorable
through the Salt Islands. Very large quantities of
salt have already been rakcd and lie ready for en-
poraton. AT the Turks Islands, about 600 900
bushels have been gathered at Long Cay, 10000
bushels Rum Cay, 10000 Long Island, IL 600.
great deal of salt remains in the ponds at Long
Cay, for want of labor to rake it.
Salt raking at Exuma is expected to be most pro-
ductve this season. A large quantity is already
gathered. No salt has been raked at Exuma for
near ten years.

OTTAWA, ILLINOIS, FRIDAY, MARCH a, 1915.

WEI continued our northern courS,
across the mountain. ana soon commenced
to descend, and ia our route stopped at Mr..
CampbelPs gold mine. Here the ore is com.
posed of very porous and vascular rock
that crumbles with slight blow, and one
can easily break of pieces with the hand
from the roof or side Of the mine. The vein
IS nearly horizontal, and its being a little
mouth OF west, and runs through compact
limestone. The sides Of the mine are full
OF pockets and rounded projections.
Mr.. Campbell says the ore found near the
surface Of the earth proves the richest, and
that he finds the gold does not delray hi,
expenses when he peuctTatcS TO Il great
depth. Here, too, we found carbonate OF
lime. II occurs in rhombohedral crystals.
These mines are much more extensively
worked than those Of Real Vic. and not
wiihStandlng the scarcity Of water, have
been told by several persons that not less
than 1000 people congreGrate here in the
winter season, when they can get water
from the SHOWS. The workers spend the
greater part Of their time under ground
living on atOle-a diluted kind of corn mush
sometimes coming forth TO the light OF
DAY, when they wish te sell the products OF
their labor.
The value Of these veins cannot be very
Wei!c>timatcd now. as there have been
many improvements in the methods Of max
Ing gold, which, when adopted at these
mines, may produce great increase in their
annual yield; at present, none OF the owner,
OF these gold mines have ever become
wealthy by their mining operations-an |
have met several who have sunk al, they
had in searching orgold.
Mr.. Campbell tells nae that he got from
hiswcll one piece worth 800, and at another
time piece worth 5000. These were at
first carried or by the worl<men. but were
of such value, that the whole truth in refer
ence to the theft, was exposed, and our hos,
recovered his property.
The raising Of sheep would be much more
proiitable.if 1t were not torthe depredationS

Died store, thoughts-long buried thoughts
and feelings; touching some sudden spring
in the heart, Till the past comes back to us
with all its bright and beautiful illusions
and the spirit takes wing aud dwell, while
with the idols long since laid in dust.
Oh sing me not that song tonight
may not list the strain,
1t brings tue past--thc dear, old past
Back to my heart again.
may not list upon mine car
1t falls too thrllinely;
And calls from memory'S spectre land,
Scenes all too bright for me.
That song was sung in other days,
Beside our pleasant heath,
It's sweet notes softly floating round,
In many an hourof mirth
lis woven with full many a chain
That was too bright TO last,
And many a -four whose withercd leaves,
Are sirowed around the past.
1t calls the dead and the cstrahged,
with looks and smiles OF ODD
And tones we never dreamed could grow.
The mcdSur'd and the cold.
Then sing it not II would not cloud
That yet uncIodded brow
The lava-tide sweeps DER my heart;

Curious Fact for The DocioM-A Cor.
respondent in one the Cincinnati papers
states that the Bucna Vista battle flclais still
covered with bones, coats, pants, shoes, and
kuupsackS, sc. And what is most singular
ofall is, that few Of the McxicanS who
were left unburied are still on the battle
field attire. Neither purclac,iou nor the
wolves prey upon them, bul they are dried
up like mummies. The only way we'y
heard it explained is, that the Mexicans ca,
so much pepper that it preserves their bod.
les from pmtrefacion, and a, the same time
spells them Cor the taste of wolves. Ger.
tainly they do not decay, and the wolves
will not prey upon them.
