ALBANY, April %, lS4S.
Movement of the Fan Buren, Section Of the De
mocracy.
There was political movement at Hudson,
Columbia county, yesterday, which should be
noticed, because the younger Van Buren, was
deeply interested in it. This young gentleman
has acquired very distinguished reputation
the oracle and the leader of a certain section in
the democratic party. The movement tn which
! alude was the county convention of the demo-
Gratis of Columbia county, which was called a,
Hudson, professedly to harmonic the democra
tic voters of that county, and to effect a recon-
ciliation between the two sections of the party
in this State A committee of democrats invited
MIR. Van Buren, to be present, land to be prepared
10 address the convention. Mr.. Van Buren, &C.
cepted the invitation, and It is stated that his
speech WAS more piquaIt, more brilliant, more
terse and mere curious than anything he has
ever said before The convention was attended
by number OF conservative democrats, and thu
resolutions which were adopted are certainly
milder aud more conciiatory than usual. Tht
Wilmot proviso resolution was not passed in any
form, and the convention was content 10 Say

correspondent Of the Buffalo Express,
writing under date Of June IL, from Ontona-
gon, Lake Superior, says:
MIR. KNAPP, of the Vulcan Mining Com
pany, has lately made very singular dscov-
cries here in working one Of the veins,
which he lately found. He worked into
an old cave which had been excavated Gen.
turtles ago. This led them to look for other
works of the same sort, and they havefound
number of sinks in the earth which they
have traced long distance. By digging
into those sinks they find them to have been
made by the hand Of man. 1t appears that
the ancient miners went on different prin-
ciple from what they do at the present time.
The greatest depth yet found in these holes
is thirty feet--after getting down to GER
tain depth, they drilted along the vein near
ly to an open cut. These cuts have been
filled nearly to a level by the accumulation
of soil, and we find trees Of the largest
growth standing in this gutter; and also find
that trees Of a very large growth have grown
up and died, and decayed many years since;
in the same places there are now stand.
ing trees Of oven three hundred years growth.
Last week they dug down into a new
place, and about twelve feet below the sur
face found mass Of copper that will weigh
from eight to ten tons. This mass was
buried in ashes, and it appears they could
not handle it, had no means OF cutting it,
and probably built fires to melt or separate
the rock from it, which might be done by
heating, and then dashing OH cold water
This piece of copper is as pure and clean
as new cent; the upper surface has been
pounded clear and smooth. Ii appears that
this mass of copper was taken from the bot
TOM OF shaft, at the depth Of about thirty
feet. In sinking this shaft from where the
mass now lies, they followed the course OF
the vein which pitches considerably; this en-.
abaetl them to raise it as lar as the hole
came up with slant. At the bottom Of
the shaft they found skids of black oak,
from eight TO twelve inches in diameter--.
these sticks were charred through, as ii
burnt; they found large wooden wedges IN
the same situation In this shaft they found
miners CAD and narrow chisel made oil
copper. g - ;,
/ DO not know whether these copper tools
ara tempered or not, but their make dis
plays good workmanship. They have Ia
ken out more than a ton Oh cobble-stones'
which have been used as naallets. These
stones were nearly round, with score cul
around the centre, and looked as if this

improvements in Slaehinery and the Pro-
gres. Of Manufaesures.

We extract the following sensible re.
marks on late improvements in manufac.
lures, from late English Factory Report,
made by Mr.. Leonard Homer, on the Both
April last. He remarks As improvements
in machinery lesson the cosl OF production.
they extend consumption: and the enlarged
demand for the manufactured article creates
a demand for more labor. The truth OF this
maxim has been in no degree contradicted
by the experience OF the last ten years. for
during that time Improvements in MACH.
merry, tending to supercede manual labor in
particular processes, have been constantly
going on; and although other causes have
contributed to lower the prices Of cotton
manufactures, the number Of persons EN-.
ployed in their production has greatly in
creased since 1898. In my report, dated
the 10Th January, 1912, showed that be-
tween the 1st Of January, 1889, and the
3lst Of December, 1871, there had been in
my district alone an increase Of horse pow
er sufficient TO give employment to 10. $50
persons. In my report of the 9TH Of July,
1913, mention that still further and con.
siderable increase in the number Of cotton
mills had taken place; and in that dated
the 10th Of May, 1915, state that the in
crease of steam-Power, in new mills and in
addition to those already existing, from the
LIST OF January, 1914, had been equal to
1880 horses, which would give employ
ment to not less than 49, 900 persons above
the number employed at the close Of 1913.
But the substitution Of machinery for manu-.
al labor, which is likely to take place in
consequence Of the increased restnction,
must do more than cover the loss occasion
ed by the restriction, before it can so reduce
the cost Of production as to cause an in
crease of consumption that will give en-
ployment to the persons displaced.

The skin should be kept clean. The
best mode Of invigorating it, besides expos
ing it TO the air, is TO battle the surface oil
the body frequently in cold water--this at
all seasons of the year. To men who are
delicate, and not accustomed to exposure OF
person to the air, would particularly re-
commend to them, when they commence
bathing, If in cold water, to do so in a well
heated room. This ablution Of the body
with cold water, think should be done
every day in the year. Many persons shud-
der at the idea of using water upon their
persons in cold weather. ! think it is then
The most useful. In the cold winter Of
1867, the Rev. Mr.. Abercrombie, ID.

in Philadelphia, called at my house on one
of the coolest days. The old man was
about IS years of age, and Of very light,
thin figure. In the course Of conversation
he CHANGED to remark, that he did not feel
as well as usual that day, because he had
forgotten to take his bath that morning

cold bath such weather as this!' al have

Eeonensx In Linen washing.

A correspondent Of a Dundee paper
writes as follows:-"Alter many expert.
ments made by myself and Others, find
that little pipe-clay, dissolved among the
water employed in washing, gives the dirti-
est linens the appearance of having been
bleached, and cleans them thoroughly with
about half the labor, and a saving Of full

was to dissolve little Of the pipe-clay in
the warm water in the wash.,ub, or 10 rub
a little Of il, together with the soap, on the
articles TO be washed. This process was
repeated as often as required, until the arti-
cles to be washed were made thoroughly
clean. All who have made tie experiment
have agreed that the saving Of soap and la
Dor are great; and that the cothes are i'm.

bleached. The peculiar advantage OF EN-
Ploying this article with the soap IL, that
it gives the hardest water almost the soft.

The Learned Fines.

A friend who was in Hirgham yesterday
took occasion to visit the lhtle girl who it
was said had succeeded in aiming the fishes
in pond at that place, so that they would
eat out Of her hand. He found that the
stories which have been told in relation 10
these fishes were not exaggerated.
The little girl who has thus acquired a
control over the usually shy inmates of the
water is about seven years old. She is
small OF her age, and is very interesting
and intelligent girl. She goes to the edge
Of the pond with piece Of bread in her
hand, and calls her pets, in her childish
thong il musical voice, "pouty, Pouty, pouty."
The fish in the pond, principally horn-pouts,
with some pickerd and other FISH, i'm.
mediately flock to tie rock on which she
stands, and receive from her hand the food
which she has provided. They seem not to
be in tle least afraid Of the little gIl, but
suffer her to handle hem without moving.
One large pout in Particular seemed consid
erably pleased at bang patted on the back,
With 6 view OF testing the tameness Of the
fish the mother Of tie little girl took piece
of bread and went to the waters edge,
The fish came tow,ld the bread, but dis
covering probably hat ii was offered by 9
