The LAKE SUPERIOR CouNTRY.-Had it not
been for the discovery of California gold, the
tide of speculation would have set rapidly and
surely toward Lake Superior, Let there be the
proper facilities established for smelling the
copper ore, and proper and easy means for
overcoming the difficulties of navigation at Sault
st. Marie, and copper would soon reach the At
lanuc States sufficient to supply the wants OF the
world a..a
Though new discoveries are continually maxi
ing, and copper discovered throughout the whole
region, yet the old mines present the greatest
abundance OF the metal. In the vicinity Of On
tonagon there are six mining companies, employ
ing one hundred and twenty seven hands The
largest of these companies is the Minnesota, en-
ploying eighty men, The papers of that region
state they have been occupied during the winter
in opening the mne This had not been done
before, because the miners were rather engaged
in getting such copperas could be easily reached.
The Forest Mining Company employ fifteen
hands, who are engaged in working profitable
vein. The Ridge Mining Company have six
men in their service, and are engaged on sim
liar vein. The Adventure Mining Company,
principally owned in Pittsburg, have struck
vein that is considered one of the most promis-
ing locations. The Douglas Haughton Company
are doing successful business, having taken
out much stamp work and some masses of native
copper
The arrangements for travel during the pre-
sent season are such that regular propellers are
to run to the Sault from Detroit and Cleveland,
which will enable visiters to see the Bruce Mine,
the great Copper Mine on the Canada side, and
the beautiful island of Mackinaw. Three pro-
pellers are to run on Lake Superior from the
Sault to the mines, which are designed to give
every facility and accommodation to travellers
and to business men, The whole route by the
Erie road to Cleveland will be an exceedingly
interesting one to pleasure travellers.

Lively sallies and connected discourses are
very different things. There are many persons
of that impatient and restless turn of mind that
they cannot wait moment for conclusion, or
follow up the thread of any argument. In the
hurry of conversation their ideas are somehow
hudded into sense but in the intervals Of
thought leave great gap between. Montes-
quieu said he often lost an idea before he could
find words for it: yet he dictated, by way Of
an amanuensis. This last is, in my opinion, n
vile method, and a solecism in authorship.-Er.
