The MooS.-Dr. Scoresby, in an account that
he has given of some recent observations made
with the Earl of Rosse's telescope, says:
"WIih respect to the moon, every object on
its surface of 100 feet was now distinctly to be
seen; and he had no doubt that under favorable
circumstances, it would be so with objects sixty
feet in hight. On its surface were craters of ex-
tnct volcanoes rocks and masses Of stone al.
most innumerable. He had no doubt that il
such building as he was then in, were upon
the surface Of the moon, it would be rendered
distinctly visible by these instruments. But
there were no signs of habiiations such as ours;
no vestiges Of architecture remain to show
that the moon is or ever was inhabited by race
of mortals similar 10 ourselves. II presented
no appearance which could lead TO the SUPPOSE
ton that it contained anything like green fields
and lovely verdure Of this beautiful world of
ours. There was no water visible-not sea or
river. or even the measure of a reservoir for
supplying town or factory,-all seemed des-
olate.

4 New Machine for reaching Gold Dc
pOsits.

! A new machine has recently arrived IN San
Francisco. serving as a model to the great HOO
sac Tunnel boring apparatus, which is Destined
in the opinion of good judges, TO effect r'.v"-
luton in mining operations in this State, and 80
reduce the cost of that important branch OF mln-
ing ndustry-tunneling-th the richest dep"s-
| its, under almost inaccessible mountains,
may be reached with comparatively little labor.
The machine, the miniature labOrs OF winch we
witnessed yesterday, at the Vulcan Fonndry.
where it was exhibited by MIR. Steen, who has
the patent for California, was invented by Chniirs
Wilson. tn whom the patent was issued IN 1881
1t is now in use in the Hoosac Tunnel. Massa'
chusetts, where it cuts diameter OF seventeen
feet distance of i've feet nine inches IN twenty
four hours. Smaller ones, however, are mior.
adapted TO any size that may be required Tor
mining purposes. With it Table Mountain n'ny
be honey-combed, and the rockiest hills pen"-
trated through the base. 1t is driven by c"n-
pressed air, thus ventilating the tunnel whiir
driving the machine, which follows It's w"'k
inch by inch it advances, by the power -
traction, the friction of the wheels on the
rock upon which it rolls. 1t is placed ur,n
wheels, and the whole affair." ponderous as il r.
pears, is managed and worked by the labor ,t
three men. There can be no question about tn"
superiority Of this machine. 1t embraces .v'ry
quality for economy and speed, and performs its
work with the most beautiful accuracy. The
rock is eaten into by the peculiar action OF Sc
ries OF selfsharpening steel cutters turning with
lightning speed, and carried by horizontal
shafts, the whole of these cutters made to re-
volve by means Of large cogged wheel of
nearly the diameter Of the tunnel. The immense
saving "f labor To mining companies by This NE
dunn may be from the fact that while by
the present method of running tunnel OF FIVE
feet in diameter through ordinary rock, three oF
four men constantly employed can never advance
more than two or three feet per day, by this ma
chine similar tunnel can be excavated from
twenty to thirty feet per day. Mr. Steen estir
mates the cost Of cutting such tunnel by hand
at SIS the foot. The machine does the same
work for 81 so per foot. The engine, moreover.
stands outside the tunnel, the power being con-
veyed any length by india rubber hose; thus
dispensing with smoke, in the interior of the ex
cavation. From certain peculiarities of the ar,
rangement, the machines are not liable to get
ou. of repair. The cost of running them is tri>
fling. One capable of boring a five and half
feet tunnel, delivered in San Francisco, without
the patent, costs $4,000. Theinvention. we think,
needs but to be known to go into general use.-

A Touching Scene.

At the celebration at Kings Mountain, the
following sentiment was offered:
"Hon. William Campbell Preston :-Rekindled
in the grandson, has been transmitted to US the
spirit which cleaned in the grandsire. While
we have assembled to honor the patriotic deeds
of the one upon the battle fields, let us not foy-
get the craftsmanship and eloquence which have
thrown a halo of imperishable glory around the
other. In the fulness of age as in the pride
and strength of manhood, South Carolina de-
lights to do him reverence"
What follows give in the graphic language
of the reporter for the Charleston Standard:
When the reading of this sentiment and the
cheers which it occasioned were ended, an aged
and feeble gentleman was seen making his way
to the stand. He had once possessed massive
frame, but it was much wasted, his hair was
| white, and even with the assistance of his crutch
he walked with difficulty. This was all that is
left of Col William G. Preston, one of the most
perfect orators this country has evesr known

what thought and hoped has been elevated OBJ

mory has been most fondly cherished and here
in these scenes of primeval grandeur, and upon
a spot with which it has been the fortune of
that ancestry to be associated, it comes upon me
with special force; but if could ever speak, -
he said, 81 can speak no longer, and if excuse

his crutch, 'and to this'' laying his hand upon

en- cheeks, and bowling low TO the audience who
were scarcely less affected, he resumed his seat
