New Cotton Gin!!!
Superior TO any no,c IN use.

THE inventor of the new Cotton Gin
known as "S. R. Parkhurst's Patent
Cylinder Gin," after having spent three
years, and vast amount of money has
succeeded in pcrfecting the Gin, so that
1t can now be offered to the public, with
full confidence in its superiority over
every machine for cleaning cotton from
the seed.
The great value of this machine con-
sists in this; that it leaves the cotton
open and free, does not cut or break the
staple, but rolls it off the seed in its nat
ural state, making the lint worth from
enc to t,oo cents per pound more for the
manufacturer, by actually bringing that
advance in market The machine will
not saw or cut the hand of the operator,
and will not catch stalk, stone, nail,
or any hard substance, but throw them
out with the seed. The company who
own the right for making and selling
this Gin, for the State of North Carolina,
are now manufacturing large number
and are prepared to Fill all orders, giving
= full guarantee that the Gin, soiW do
good serOicc, both i" quantity and quail
ty.
The Gins will be delivered at the De-
pot nearest the purchaser, and will be
set up between this and the next gin,
ming season, to be paid for aohen tested

Mr.. C. g. Bonner, of Rocky Mount,

Gin, who will occasionally pass through

respecting the Gin.

That have examined the principle
and operation of the machine, and do
cheerfullyand with perfect confidence,
recommend it to the cotton growers Of
North Carolina, as the best machine
for cleaning seed cotton that have ev-
er seen; and [ would further say that
we have been using one of the same

Ancient Relics.

The Swiss journals give the fol-
lowing details relative To the dis
coveries recently made in conse-
quence of the extraordinary fall in
the water in the Lake of Zurich
About one hundred feet from the
right bank of the lake, opposite the
village of Mellen, there have been
found several rows of piles formed
of trunks of trees. The piles are a.
bout foot apart, with an interval of
sixteen feet between the rows
Thesepiles support enormous beams
which form a very large area. Be
tween these piles there have been
found the skeletons of animals,
which are no longer to be found in
Switzerland, but no trace of any
domestic animals. On renewing
the mud there have been found an
immense number of heads of arrows
and spears made of stone, carefully
cut and very pointed; poniards
made OF flint, with buckhorn han
dies, a battle axe in stone clay vases,
evidently formed by the hand, with
out the aid of any instrument, and
afterwards baked in an oven and
several other articles in stone and
baked clay. A human skull has
also been found. These remains,
which are considered to have be-
longed to the ancient Cells, are now
under examination by a commission
Of antiquarians.
The battle axe, spear, and vases,
seem to correspond with those
found in the mounds of this coun-
try. The clay vases found in this
country are very numerous. These
would seem to indicate a similar or
igin.

VERMONT GOLD, SILVER, LEAD
and CoPPEa--At the first July meet
ing Of the Boston Society of Natural
History a paper relating to Vermont
was read, of which the Traveller re-
ports as follows -
The Chairman read all account of
a ne,o mine recently opened for gold,
siicer, lead and copper, at Bridge
water, near Woodstock, VI. The
minerals at present known in this
mine are as follows, viz:
Native gold, in scales and small
irregular grains in quartz, in black
blende, and in other minerals of the
vein. Argentiferous land auriferous y
galena black zinc blende yellow
copper pyriles: garnet brown oxide
of IRON. The ores smelted gave 33
per cent. of lead. The lead cupelled,
the silver being separated, gave Of
fine gold, in one ton of lead, % oun-
ces, 3 dwt grs of silver, 8 oun-
ces 4 dwt, la grs. he goh IN
one ton of the lead would be worth
S6O3,45 and the silver, 925,29 (;
or these metals, in the ore, as OBJ
tanned by washing, would be worth
abou. half as much. The lead that
can be saved, is worth 5 100 per ton.
This mine is about 20 miles from
the principal railroads to Boston and
New York, and the produce Of the
mines will probably be brought by
way Of Woodstock and Hartland as
the country is less mountainous in
that direction than towards Rutland.
1t is gratifying to find that Vermont
may Justly rank among the mineral
States. Already extensive and val
liable copper mines have been opened
in Vershire and Corinih, and there
is reason to believe that many other
valuable mines Of that metal will be
opened along the line of the copper
bearing rocks, which extend from
Straiiord to Orange, in line little
west of north.

Napoleon's Attempt to commit
Suicide.

In Montholon's History of the
Captivity of Napoleon at st. Hell
ena, il is recorded that he twice
attempted self-destruction, once ear
ly in his career, and again in 1915.
On the first occasion, his life was
saved by Demasls, a former COM
rade in an artillery regiment. Ma
poleon was then in Paris-depres-
sed and suffering from illness. His
mother having fled from Corsica,
was at Marseilles, without subsist-
ence, and had written to him for
aid. Napoleon had nothing but an
assignat for a hundred sous. Re-
lating this adventure to Montholon,
Napoleon says:
In a state of detection | went out,
as if urged to suicide by an animal
instinct, and walked along the
quays, feeling my weakness, but
unable to conquer it. In few mo
ments more, | should have thrown
myself into the water, when | ran
against an individual, dressed like a
simple mechanic, and who recogni-
zed me, threw himself on my neck,
aud cried, Is it you, Napoleon I
J What JOY to see You again. 1t
