We have recently been shown summer
cooking stove, which puts out The fire of every
other kind Just now remembered. The heat is
produced by the joint combustion ofalcohol and
common air, effected by q newly invented bur
ner. In appearance the stove resembles an
old fashioned astral lamp, with three legs a
foot high, instead of the usual pillar support.
A quart or more of alcohol takes the place OF
the oil, the quantity Of which, conveyed to the
burner, is regulated by stop-cock in the con.
Meeting pipe. The oven, tea-kettle, boiler, iron
heater, &c, &c.-"Alps on Alps"-rise over
and around this burner, the whole affair, how
hever, taking up no more room than Dutch
oven set on end A small quantity-one cents
worth, the inventor Of alcohol says-maintains
a heat Of 700 or 800 degrees--hot enough to
burn bread in the oven-over a surface OF
about three square feet, for ten minutes. This
is about the ratio Of expense heat can be
kept up for any length of time desired, and a
lesser heat given at less cost. Any thing like
danger from alcohol is prevented perfectly, the
reservoir containing the support not getting
heated even by use. The superiority over
others Of the kind, consists in the absence OF
all smoke gas. You may put the stove on your
breakfast table, cook your steak, boil your eggs
and make your coffee without the slightest in.

Discovery OF Gold Mime.
A rich vein of gold and silver has lately
been discovered near Sancti Spiritus. We find
the following on the subject in the Prenza of
the 24th ultimo, communicated to that paper
by correspondent:
"The interchangeable and skilfu miner, d. Jose
Ramon de Aguero, the discoverer, owner, and
worker of the Victoria mines in the jurisdiction
of Bayamo, while pursuing lately his incessant
neurological Investigations, ran across a rich
vein of gold and silver in the territorial jurs-
diction Of Sancti Spiritus, little to the south
of Bishops hill, Coma del Obispo.j The vein
runs north and south. 1t has already been
surveyed, and has received the name of Ora
cias de Dios. The ore which has already been
found in a state of capitalization. There is no
doubt that the vein is a very rich one, and it's
yield will undoubtedly be immense.
Capitalists have here a favorable opportu-
nifty of investing their money. We are author
lied to state that all who would like to examine
and judge for themselves can have an opportu-
nifty for SO doing by calling on Senior Aguere,
who will be pleased to give them all the infor-
nation in his power"
To this the editor of the Penza adds the
following:

character of our authority and the fact that,
according to tradition, the first inhabitants Of
this island found gold in several localities and
analysed it. Father Bartolome de las Casas,
in an unpublished manuscript now in the royal
library of Madrid, and from which few extracts
were published in 1887 in the Memoirs of the
Real Soceedad Eiodomica, holds the following
language.

As gold is generally found in the crystalline
state, this oftself would increase the probability
that an important discovery has been made. A

The Future Of Ne,c Orleans.-The New
Orleans Commercial Bulletin says:
"The croakers, whose special business and
seeming delight it is to decry New Orleans, and
predict its downfall, are destined to be disar-
pointed. We have reached and recovered from
the lowest point Of depression. Last year, in
our commercial scale, was the zero standard;
we will never descend as low again. The pres,
ent season we have recuperated and recovered
all we lost; and the indications OF returning
and permanent prosperity were never more en-
couragng than at the present time"

CABBAGE WoRMs.-John Farrar, one Of the
most practical farmers in the State, says these
destructive insects may be destroyed in the
following simple way:
Break off a large leaf from the bottom of
the cabbage and place it on the top, upper
side down. Do this in the evening and in the
morning you will find near or quite all the
worms on each cabbage have taken up their
quarters on this leaf. Take off the leaf and
kill them or feed them to the chickens, and
place the leaf back if there be any more to
catch.u

Death OF Judge j. G. smith.

We are deeply panied to find among the
items Of news from Nicaragua by the Orizaba
that Judge j. Caleb Smith, well known in Cali
fornia and Virginia, died at Granada on Friday,
18th of April, after a short attack Of fever.
Judge Smith was the son Of Ex-Governor
Smith, of Virginia, and was on his way, we
believe to California at the time of his death.
None but those who knew him intimately could
fully appreciate the unusual kindness of his
heart and the tenderness of his feelings and
affections. While what he esteemed the demands
of friendship and affection ever received from
him an instant and uncalculating response,
which response on a GOODNESS and courage
rarely equalled, yet gentleness and courtesy
and acts Of peace and kindness were the habi-
tual overfowings of his heart. In his chosen
character of peace-maker he has, unlimited
composed more than a half dozen mortal feuds
after the friends" of the parties had failed and
we're arranged for bloody meeting. His i'm
pulses were all generous; his perceptions just,
and his intellect well balanced and of a high
order. A noble heart was stilled when Judge
Smith slept the sleep of death. This brief tri-
butte is from one who knew and loved him
well, and grieves as he plants flower on his
grave.-Alerandria Sentinel.

Upward, l should think, of 800 children were
assembled under their different superintendcnts
to listen to the Rev McSSrS Barnes. The
elder Mr.. Barnes spoke with feeling eloquencc
to his young auditory and in style enabling
the youngest of his hearers to understand him.
He dwelt at much length on tie importance of
early teaching of the great truths of the Bible,
and promised his listeners a rich harvest of hap
piness if their lives were regulated by its les
sons of wisdom.

supply the commissarat, it is most cheerfully
given. There were lagiOnS of pies, masses of
mutton, mountains of outter, pyramids of bread,
and everything else edible in proportion and

Marshal EDDY was n his glory Capital fel-
low is the marshal, and fitted for duty to u

After dinner, the adult part of the assembly
took the seats occupied by the children in the
morning to hear an address by the Honorable
Ulysses Nlcrcur" as the marshal announced him.
For two long hours did the people sit and
drink in the inspiration of an earnest man. 1t
was the first time had heard Mr. Mercur make
a speech, and was most sensibly made to feel
that there was at least one man whose energy
and devotion none could questiOn-or if ques-
toned, it would at least be admitted that he
was an excellent pretcndcr. Toward the close
of his address, Mr.. Nercur rose frequently to
eoquence, and he closed by an appeal that
shook the branches over the heads of his audi
encc. 1t was a grand speech, and we'll ap-
prcciated by the 5 or hundred people who
listened to him.-After he sat down, DR.
