MINERAL TREASURES OF MICHIGAN AT TIE
WORLDS FAIR.-Michigan will probably make
| the best show of mineral treasures at the
Worlds Fair that was ever made any where.
The collection of specimens = from the Upper
Peninsula Will be sight worth looking at. We
| have slight inkling of what is coming, in the
following extract from the Sault Ste. Marie.
Journal Of the 28th ult:
Gone of the largest and finest masses of
native copper ever seen in this world came
down from the Minnesota Mine this week, and
has just been shipped on the steamer Albany
Tor the great Fair soon to open in NcwYork. It
was large square block, weighing 5072 lbs,
and presented plain surfiaces of the metal from
three to four feet in length, and about three in
width. 1t was cut from a mass wei ching about
50 tons. Ifanything can he found to compare
with this mass of pure smelted copper, in any
other country, We should like to hear of it. it
is one of the wonders of the world and of the
age, and we never look upon such n mass with
out astonishment. We notice on tho docks,
ready to be shipped cast, several hundred tons
OF similar character, some of them weighing
nearly rs much, at least dozen that will
weigh two and half tons each, from the Cliff
and Minnesota mines. The National Mine and
the South Cliff have also fine masses to 60 for
ward, and we believe the National Company
| have mass here on the dock, on its way to
| the exhibition, weighing 22O0 lbs.--they have
such q mass we know, and believe it is designed
for the Fair.
ssThe next mineral wonder that will be seen
| there, will be the masses of iron ore from the
| jackson Iron Mountain, Lake Superior We
notice 10 fine masses, . barrels and one bloom
Of this iron on its way to the same destination
Several Of the pieces of iron will each weigh
about ton; they might weigh thousand tons
as for that matter, for they can be quarried of
any size. We think these specimens will attract
some attention among the world of wonders to
be exhibited at the Fair, and prove n benefit to
this great mineral region
CANADA n THE NEwYoRK ISDusrR1AL Exu1-
| BlTIoN.-The Montreal Pilot, Of the 9th ult.,
says that it is the intention of the Government
to apply to Parliament for the sum Of G2OOO 10
defray the expenses attendant on the transmits
sion to and from New York, and custody there,
| of articles to be forwarded from Canada to the
great industrial fair at NewYork The Pilot
| also states that an invitation to his Excellency
the Governor General, has been forwarded from
the President of the Exhibition Committee,
which his Excelleney, we hear, has senified his
intention to accept, in the event of his other
avocations permitting Several members of the
provincial administration, with other distin-
guished visitors from Canada, will also be pres

Theamended charter of Newly ork was carried
on the 18th inst, in every ward Of tile city, by
majorites ranging from 103 up to 357O-total
majority in the city over Ii, 900. The amend
ments give the Mayor the veto power, to be
overruled only by two thirds vote of the Com
mon Council; prohibits the Aldermen sitting as
Judges Of Criminal Courts; allows only the
more popular branch of the Common Council to
originate appropriation bills; prohibits the ex-
penditure Of the public money for junketings
and celebrations, except on established national
or State holidays, unless authorized by a
three -tourths vote Of the Common Council; also
prohibits contracts to persons in arrears or de-
fault to the city, and guards against corruption
and bribery by public officers, regulates leases
and sales OF public property, and contains other
provisions, which, if faithfully carried out, will
put an end to the reckless expenditure of the
public money, and the outrageous bribery and
official corruption which it is alleged have for
long time characterized the municipal admins
tration of that city.
