The Copper Mines Of Tennessee.

The Nashville Union and American "
|says:-"The copper fields of Tennessee
lie in the Eastern Division, and were but
few years ago entirely unknown. Their
exploration and development are yet in
their incipient state Nevertheless, there
have been shipped this year from all the
mines, 14,291 tons. 1t is estimated by
the able and experienced President of the
Hiwassee Mining Company, Samuel r.
Tracy, of New York, that if they had had
branch railroad from the mines to the
East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad,
the different Companies could have ship
ped $4,000 tons. The Hiwassee Com
pany alone, sold their ore and copper in
New York for $150,00O, but the cost of
transportation was $4,000. Much of
this enormous sum was paid for wagoning,
and freight on the Oconnee River, and
boxing, which might have been saved by
the proper railroad facilities"
The copper ores of Tennessee, says the
.American Farmers Magazine, are exceed.
ingly rich, averaging from eighteen to
forty per cent.-the general average be-
ing eighteen per cent. The English ores
are said to yield an average of eight per
cent; Chill, twenty; the Cuban, about
fifteen per cent. The world produces
about 100000 pounds of copper annu-
ally. Of this amount, in 1862 Great
Britain and Ireland produced of ore and
metal, 28,820,000 pounds; Chill exports
100000 pounds, and Cuba produces s.
100000 pounds, which she sends to Eng
land for smelling, being destitute Of fuel.

Preserving Cabbage.

IF farmers would enjoy that almost ir.
separable appendage to a fine ham, a very
little care and trouble will insure it. ]
have succeeded admirably by the follow.
ing method: Let the cabbage remain in
the hill as long as is prudent against frost
or snow. When ready to be put away,
prepare long trench in dry spot o.
earth, more or less deep and wide in pro
portion to the size of the heads. The
cabbage should be placed in trench, af
ter being despoiled of all imperfect leaves
with the stock upward, and well covered
with earth, raising mound the whole
length of the trenches, high enough to
turn off water. This process will bleach
them perfectly white, and make them crisp
and tender. Large heads of greens will
bleach, and sometimes head very well, il
placed in the trench alternately with a
firm and solid head Of cabbage. The
heads should be packed close to each
other in the trench.

A Mysterious Parsonage.

Under this caption the New York Tri-
bune tells story Of an elderly gentleman
elegantly dressed, and carrying gold
headed cane, who gave an order at res
taurant in Park Row, on slip of paper.
three years ago, for dinner composed of
certain dishes, and two small bottles of
claret wine, to be prepared for him at a
stated time every day. The guest and
the dinner are there at the appointed
hour. He proceeds to the particular box
appropriated to him, draws down the cur
tain, and discusses his dinner. Twowine
glasses are always furnished. After din
ing, he turns out two glasses of wine, the
contents of one he drinks and pours the
other on the floor, and thus confines till
the two bottles Of wine have been dspos-
ed of, and the same thing is repeated eve
ry day. During the whole period he has
not been heard to utter a word. 1t has
been said that to o greater or less degree
every man and every women is mono.
maniac, but the gentleman in the above
case, from some cause, certainly seems
to possess an unusual share.

The Virginia Volcano.

1t is said that the statement in refer
ence to a volcano having made its appear
ance in Pendleton county, Va, on the
great Backbone Mountain is true. The
Cumberland Telegraph says:
1t is at point on the mountain direct.
ly between the heads of the dry fork Of
the Cheat and the south branch of the Pc
tomac rivers, at place known by the
name Of the Sinks" so called from the
depressed condition of the mountain at
that point. These "Sinks" are funnel
shaped, and each one embraces as much
as an acre ofground. On the first day of
January the reports caused by the burst
ing forth of the subterranean fire were
heard for distance of 90 or 80 miles
Vast columns of fame and smoke issued
from the orifices, and red hot stones W ere
thrown up in the air. several hundred feet
above the mouth of the crater. Our in.
tormant adds that the people in the vicin-
ity are becoming alarmed at the pertinaci-
ty with which the flames are kept up and
the red hot masses ofrocks thrown out
A heavy rumbling noise, like distant thun-
der, is continually reverberating through
the deep caverns of the mountain, which
at times seems to tremble from summit to
base.

A Great but Melancholy Truth.

In the Europe Of the nineteenth cen.
fury, the incompatible wealth that flows
from the bounty OF heaven during the re-
volving seasons Of the year, and is ela5o-
rated from the earth by the ceaseess toll
millions Of men;-that wealth which is
wrought out by human labor and inge
nuity, in conjunction with the great agen-
ces of nature-ire, water, wind and
steam, and whose aggregates are amply
sufficient to give comfort and competence
to every human being. and the joys of
home and the sacred influences, of the do
mestic circle to every family that wealth
by force of unjust laws and institutions, is
filched from the producer, and gathered
into vast masses, to give power, and lux
ury, and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT to a few. OF
production there is no end; of distribution
there is no beginning. Nine hundred and
ninety-nine children of the same common
Father suffer from restitution, that the
thousandth may revel in superhuities. A
thousand cottages shrink into meanness
and want to swell the dimensions of
single palace. The tables of a thousand
families of the industrious poor waste
away into drought and barrenness, that
one board may be laden with surfeits.-
AS yet, the great truth has scarcely dawn
ed upon the mind of the theorist or spec
ulator-that the political application of
doing as we would be done by, is to give
to every man entire equality before the
law, and then to leave his fortunes and
his successes to depend upon his own ex-
ertions.

The Pear Sickle.

About 80 years ago, when the Bishop
was lad. there was we'll known sports
man and cattle dealer in Philadelphia,
who was Familiarity known as Dutch ia
cob" Every season. early in Autumn,
on returning from his shooting excursion,
Dutch Jacob RECALLED his neighbors with
pears Of an unusually delicious flavor, the
secret Of whose place of growth, however,
he would never satisfy their curiosity by
divulging. At length the Holland Land
Company, owning a considerable tract
south Of the city, disposed of it in parcels,
and Dutch Jacob then secured the ground
on which his favorite pear tree stood, a
fine strip Of land near the Delaware. =
Not long afterwards, it. became the farm
of Mr.. Seckel, who introduced this re-
marketable fruit to public notice, and it re-
ceived his nams. Afterwards the prop
erty was added to the vast estate Of the
late Stephen Girard. The original tree
still exists, Tor did few years ago. vigo-
