A new process has been invented, bya Professor
Spieker, for extracting gold from quartz and Other
aurferous ores. 1t is this "The finely powdered
crushed gold ore, is conducted from the sampers
or crushing MILL by stream of water into watts o,
hog sheads of any convenient size, and there allowed
to SETTLE The necessary quantity of water remains
in the watts, to which small proportion of the
chemical agents is added, which effects the solution
of the gold. After the ground quartz or other ore
has been stirred in the liquid it is allowed to settle
The gold being completely dissolved, rises above
the quartz powder a clear liquid, and is drawn
of into other watts standing below the dissolvine
watts. In those watts the gold is precipitated b,

NE LOVES HER MEMORY NOW.

BY THOMAS J. plERL.
he loved her when youths merry oeam
Was sparkling in her eye,
He loved her when life seemed o1eam'
Without tear or sigh.
He loved her when the sunny smile
Was lighting up her brow
That eye is closed-that smile Is heu;
He loves her memory now.
ne loved her when the bloom Of health
Was fresh upon her check
He loved her when her kindly voice
In gentle tones would speak.
He loved her ere the hand Of care
Was planted on her brow
Her voice is hushed-that bloom 10 oeau'
He loves her memory now.
He loved her when he saw the rose
Upon her cheek decay; ,,ou,
He loved her though he knew It's Gio"
Was passing fast away.
He loved her when beneath LIES storm
He saw her meekly bow
The storm is past, and she Is gone;
He loves her memory now.
He loved her when her eye grew cold,
And lost its starry light,
He loved her when her sad tear told
OF early coming blight.
He loved her when her hand he pressed,
And breathed his earnest vow,
She smiled reply, and he was blessed
He loves her memory now.
He loved her when her huttering breath
Came beuring many sigh;
He loved her when in chilly death
He saw her sleeping lie.
He loved her when the tomb's cold seat
Was resting on her brow
He often wanders near her grave.
And loves her memory now,

The "BIack SWAN,

The debut of this ebon songstress is thus no
ticed in the Buffalo Express
1.-THE Black Swan Concert occurred last eve
ming, and it certainly was a remarkable event,
in many respects. On Monday, Parodi, in all
her splendour, sustained by Patti and Strakosch,
sang at Townsend Hall, to half a house. Last
night, Miss Greenfield sang at the same place 70
a crowded house of the respectable, cultivated
and fashionable people Of the city. Jenny Lind
has never drawn q better house, as to character,
than that which listened, with evident satisfac-
ton, to this unheralded and almost unknown
African nightingale. Curiosity did something
for her. but not all. She has merit-very great
merit-and with cultivation, she will rank among
the very first yocalsts of the age. She has q
voice of great sweetness and power, with a
wider range from the lowest to highest notes
than we have ever listened to; hexibility is not
wanting and her control of it is beyond exam
pie for a new and untaught vocalist. Her per-
formance was received with marked approba-
ton and applause, from those who know what

to applaud.

Mr. Consul Owen in his note to the Savannah
Republican, published by us some days since,
(says the Peunsylvanian,) asks to be heard fully
in his own defence, saying that while he seeks
nothing from any ones mercy, he has right to
justice. Upon this the Washington Telegraph
remarks that the request is reasonable, and
both mercy and justice unite in demanding a
compliance with it. The sentiments of horror
and indignation have boen spontaneously ex-
pressed by the American people at the offences
of which he is alleged to be guilty; now let
these feelings be silenced as respects the ac-
cused, and let every American feel that he is a
juror and judge in an important trial. 1t may
be that the result will involve the censure of our
national Executive, and not Mr.. Owen; or il
may be that they will both fall under condem-
nation. Let iu,tics be done ~

Horrible Cruelty of "A step-Mother.

The Illinois State Democrat furnishes a syn
opsis of the evidence given in the trial of a man
and his wife, upon a charge of manslaughter,
committed upon the person of a little girl only
five years of age, the daughter of the man by q
former wife. more revolving series of barba
rites has never before come to our knowledge,
and, we hope, never will again.
1t appears that he married again in about
three weeks after the death of is.frst wife-at
which time Olley, the child alluded to, was about
FIVE years old, and remarkable sprightly and
healthy This was about eighteen months ago.
Soon after the marriage the new wife confined
the little girl in the kitchen and there kept her
most of the time tied, and without fire. In this
situation she was forced to remain mp to the
time of her death; having no food allowed her
except half pint of coffee or milk and piece
of cold corn bread each day.
No bed was allowed her in any weather fur
ther than a single scanty quilt. This hendlsh
woman often amused herself by beating the
child in the most outrageous manner, and on
one occasion compelled another child to choke
her until she was black in the face. She con-
tiuually forced her to eat rotten fruit and vege-
which il would not be seemly for to describe.
Sometimes she would fasten the little creature
unker the kitchen floor and leave her there for
hours. Other details were given, which are too
shocking for publication. The poor little suf-
| ferer often wished herself dead.
On one occasion she escaped from the kitchen
and was seen trying to climb pole which stood
| in the yard. Upon being asked where she was
| going, she replied that she was going up to the
| other world to see her mother. The heartless
step mother ordered her down with curses, and
the trembling little creature fell in her weak
ness, her head striking violently against the
wall of the house.
This chapter of merciless infections upon O
| helpless infant was at last terminated by the
sufferer being poisoned to death with opium
given her in large quantities by her diabolica
prosecutor.
The jury found the woman guilty of man
| slaughter, and she was sentenced to two year;
service in the States Prison. Her husband wa
acquitted. He, it seems, sometimes remonstra
ted with his wife for her cruelty but never has
the courage to arrest it.

Interesting Anniversary.

This day, Nov. A. sixty nine years ago, 9
party of Adventures from the eastern States,
after long and toilsome journey, descended
the Ohio river, and encamped upon the spot
where Newport Barracks now stands. They
there separated for the several stations" in
Kentucky, and turned their steps through the
wilderness, first pledgng each other, in spirit
that may be termed as prophetically romantic
to meet upon the spot-or such of them
as might survive, in fifty years from that day.
This agreement was made on the 4th dsy Of
November, 1882.
In the year 1882, on the 4th day of November,
precisely fifty years after the time of agreement,
four of the old band met upon the spot TO fulfil
their promise. The cholera was then prevailing
in this city, and, in consequence, there was no
public demonstration, but the OLD patrisrchs
were brought across the river and kindly enter
tanned by citizens at Gamsons Exchange,
and received all the attentions that could be ex-
pected in times so full of melancholy, gloom and
heartrending SORROW.
One Of them over ninety years Of age, the
rest were under three score and ten. After re-
naming few days, they turned their steps
homeward-not through wilderness as they
did half hundred years before, but through
scenes of busy life, and hum of industrial mil
lions did they promise another meeting,
| as that was an event fixed by = Higher Will
and il has taken place! Ihsy ays al dad.

VOLUME 8.--JUMBER s.
The Climate of Orepo,,

A New England farmer would be thrown INT.
the greatest alarm at the prospect of a summer
without rain; but in Oregon "they do thes.
things differently" There rain storm during
the summer months would be deprecated as dis
astrous 20 the crops and would be deemed al
most as untimely as fall OF snow in August
would be amongus. The following extract from
an article in the Oregon Times Of August 7th,
published at Portland in that territory, says:-
I'VE arc now in the midst of what is called
the dry season. with every day nearly aIiks.
The farmers are now reaping their waving fields
OF grain, never fearing any sudden showers OF
rain to impede or destroy their rell-directed
labor. The harvests are represented as being
most abundant-notwith.tan so many of
our people went to the mines last Winter and
Spring, there will be large surplus of produce
after supplying the home market People in
the States, who are accustomed to having rain
and sunshine on the same day during the Sum
mer season, perhaps will wonder how this caa
be an agricultural country, without much rain
for four months in the Summer. But there
appears to be fitness of things in all this
The composition of our soil is peculiarly
adapted to our climate. We are informed By
an intelligent farmer, who has spent three
years in Oregon farming, that the soil Is of such
a nature that the e1hala:ion of moisture sup
plies in the dry season, the absence of rain
and that if rain were to fall copiousy in sum-
mer, it would be an injury to vegetation, instead
of benefit. He gives Oregon the decided
preference over the States for agricultural pur-
poses. The grain and other products of our
soil is well cured never getting spoiled by must
or rot, and contains more solid substance, from
having grown beneath the mild and genial rays
Of the summers For grazing, Oregon can
not be Surpassed-as her fat herds Of cattle aud
focks Of sheep bear ample testimony"

The Great Exhibition in the United
states.

An advertisement appears in all the leading
London papers, signed c. Bushek and Edward
Riddle, in which it is announced that arrange
nents have been made for an exhibition of all
nation. at New York-the exhibition to open on
the 18th of April, and all goods to arrive by the
1st of March. 1t is stated that arrangements
have been made for the erection of building
on an extensive scale, in q central situation,
and which, when completed, will be made
bonded warehouse for the period of the e1hibi-
tion-four months. The advertisement con-
tinues:
1.-THE goods viii be conveyed from London In
first class vessels, and all charges, freight, in
surance &c, advanced, that no outlay OF
money on the part of the exhibitors viii be re-
quired.
The goods will be exhibited with the prices
attached, and, when disposed of, remitances
will be promptly forwarded. Should any goods
remain unsold, at the close of the exhibition,
they will be returned TO the exhibitors free OF
all expense Work. OF srt, Including paintings,
will be admitted
The leading exhibitors of continental nations
have already cordially co-operated in this un-
dertaking, and the undersigned feel assured
that it is only necessary TO make the project
known to the artists and manufacturers Of Great
Britain in order TO obtain for it their hearty
support"
Mr.. Bushek was the Austrian Commissioner
of the London exhibition, and Mr.. Riddle the
American Commissioner. The two represent
Company, and they are to have the whole manage

A New Cure for Consumption.

we hnd the following statements in the Mobile
! Herald and Tribune, and if substantiated the
discovery viii be invaluable, especially in this
section OF the country. We regret that the
quantity of medicine to be administered at q
| dose is not given:-
| In the first number OF the New Orleans
| Monthly Medical Register which we noticed a
few days ago, find an article by Professor
Stone on the virtues of Phosphate of Lime in
Scrofula and other depraved states of the sys-
tenn, which is of some moment 1t was sug-
gested by an essay in the London Lancet, on
the physiology and pathology OF the o1alate
and phosphate of lime, and their relation to the
formation of cells"
1.-The conclusions of the author" says Pro-
fessor Stone, "are based upon careful chemical
research and results from the use of the remedy
His researches show that in man, a, well as in
vegetables and inferior animals, phosphate of
lime as well as albumen and fat is absolutely
essential for the formation of cells, and he con-
siders that many of the pathological states OF
the system depend upon deficiency of this salt.
The affections in which it is advised are ulcer
ations dependent upon a general dyscrasia, and
not mere local affection; infantile atrophy, in
those suffering from rickets and consequent di-
arrhoa and tuberculous diseases, particularly
of the lungs in the early stages"
Struck by this article, Prof. Stone tested it,
and he thus describes three cases in which its
virtues were very obvious. The first was that
OF slave, who admitted to the Professors
Infrmary in July, with disease Of the nose,
the whole system showing great progress in
scrofulous decay. , The usual remedies were un-
successfully applied until August, when cod
liver oil used, but the disorgauization of the
stomach was increased by it. The phosphate of
lime was then applied-eight grains three times
day. It's good effect. were soon apparent 1t
and the oil were therefore administered togeth
er, and the patient soon was restored to health.
The second case is that of young lady aged
twenty-four Her disease was one of ''unmixed
phthisis, which might have been expected to
terminate in the course of a few months" ia
tally. Tho upper part of both her lungs WAS
filed with tubercles, and in some places were
beginning to soften. The case was evidently
bad one. The treatment of cod liver oil was at
first used, but without marked improvement.
The phosphate of lime was then administered
with the oil, and the result, as in the ease Of
the negro, was soon apparent The patient was
rapidly getting we'll
The third case was that Of child seven years
of age, in which the phosphate Of lime vas used
with complete success.
We can only refer briefly to these cases for
the purpose of directing attention to the subject
Before the dreadful diseases which they describe,
scientific men have stood absshed. That there
is some remedy for them can hardly doubt;
and this may if new thing, be the desidcratum
which science is in search of.
