improvements in Quartz Mining.

People at all conversant with quartz min.
ing are aware of the difficulty which exists
in the quarts veins in certain localities, owing
to the presence of large quantities of sulphate
Of iron, which prevents the amalgamation
Of the gold, thus causing great waste in
working the veins. For this reason, veins
which have been experimental on by sub.
mitting small quantities of rock to chemical
tests, and found to contain gold enough to
justify the investment Of capital in erecting
machinery, have when actually worked by
the ordinary methods, proved total failure.
There are veins which actually contain $50
or $50 ton, which by the common process
of working, will not yield more than five or
SIX dollars. There have. been many expert
ments tried for the purpose Of devising some
plan to obviate this difficulty. We have
been lately shown furnace, constructed by
Mr.. DiItz, Of the firm of Goodman, Diltz &
Co., at Whitlocks, which we think will even
tually be brought into general use among
those engaged in quartz. The apparatus
combines cheapness and simplicity with utili-
ty, and is the result of series of expert
ments, made by Mr.. Diltz, who is an old
practical quartz miner The furnace is built
Of common sun-dried adobes, in which are
several tiers Of square iron pans or drawers
so constructed that they can be readily re-
moved when sufficiently heated. In these
the "black sand," or sulphurets are placed
covering the bottom of the drawers to about
tie depth of one inch, and subjected to the
action of fire till they acquire q red heat.
This decomposes the sulphurets, SO that on
cooling it can be reduced to an impalpable
powder by simply rubbing in the hand. 1t
is afterwards ground in common arastra,
and anna gamated without difficulty Much
care is necessary to give it the proper heat,
as too high a degree will melt the sand, run
ming it together in mass and increasing
the difficulty Of separating it from the gold.
NJ. d. informs us that he has taken out as
high as sixty cents a pound from the taings
which in the ordinary manner of working
would be total loss. He intends taking a
model of the furnace to the State Fair, where
those interested in quartz mining can have
an opportunity of examining and testing its
utility. The quartz vein upon which the
company are engaged still continues to pros
pect well, the quality of the rock seeming to
improve as they advance in their work.
They have gone to the depth Of over one
hundred feet in one of their shafts, and are
now engaged in running tunnel to strike
the bottom of it. The vein is located favora-
bly, for working, as they can, if it is required
drain it to the depth of four hundred feet.

NUMBER 4.

ANOTHER LIVE CoAL.-The niggerists
have brought another live coal into the fire
of freedom. The Supreme Court Of Maine
has decided that free colored persons Of Afri-
can descent are authorized upon complying
with the same laws that qualify white men,
under the constitution of the State to be
electors for Governor Senators and Repre-
sentatives. The decision Of the Court was
rendered in compliance with joint reso-
luton of the Legislature, passed last winter.
This decision is in conflict with the opinion
rendered by the Federal Supreme Court in the
Dred Scott case. 1t seems that the wisest
Judges are unfortunately stuck away in the
obscure placesof northern State latitudes.

The Lion in Two Characters.

Between the lion that has once eaten a
man--once tested the glory and ambrosa
delight of mani beet-and the lion remotely
ignorant Of the flavor tn re is a chasm-
Only in geological test books can the two
animals be considered as the same Species
In profounder characteristics in the COM
plexion Of their souls, they differ as the
Caucasian differs from the Hottentot The
lion who has once fed upon man, carries
with him an unforgetful experience; he has
supped with the gods, and IIomeric rhymes
murmur in his ears. Visions of that ecstatic
hour hover before him in his lair, accompany
his moonlight marches through the noun
tain gorge, thrill him with Retrospective
favors as he laps the moonlt lake, and fill
with a certain bissful torment all his leisure
moments. These visions, like the after glow
of sunset on the Alps, tinge his mental hori-
zon, and create a gustatory after glow which
warns his whole frame. Haunted by such
recollect:ons, tormented by the appetites
they develop, his nature undergoes myste-
rious modifying influences; new and grander
ferocties are awakened, which, in turn, de-
velop fercer daring, and render him ten
times more formidable to man. Hitherto
he has wanted something of the daring com
mensurate with bis strength. He has always
avoided personal combat with European,
when honorably the challenge could be ignor-
ed. But now the case is very different; now,
the scent of human blood thrills along every
fibre; and when sight reveals the proximity
of his noble foe, then flashes the tawny eye
with sombre fire, the terrible talons tear up
the earth, he dresses his mighty name, and
prepares for the fight in slow, solemn, con-
centrated wrath, clearly forseeing that two
issues, and only two remain open for him

MARYsvILLE AND BENrcA RAILROAD
The Marysville Eapress, of yesterday, says,
we understand that 5000 worth Of stock
has been subscribed in this city, by different
individuals, within the last few days, to the
Marysville and Benica Railroad. 1t is the
intention of :he company to have new sur
vey of the route made, in the course Of two
weeks. Solano county has subscribed, by a
vote of the citizens, 5000, 900, to be invested
in the same enterprise.

DISPENSING WITH GRAND JUR1Es.-A pro-
position to do away with grand jur;es, so far
at least as London is concerned, is now be-
fore Parliament, and receives the support Of
government. A motion intended to defeat
the bill was rejected by large majority
An able lawyer, Sir F. Thesinger, defended
the bill, and referred to the repeated represen-
ia tons ofgrand juries themselves to the effect
that they were not only unnecessary, but ab-
solutely an obstruction to justice ITSELF In
many Of our cities petit juries too often
shield criminals and rowdies from deserved
punishment

Poetry in Old Folks.

When have you seen, dear reader, a more cor
templative beautiful sentiment, or one that wa
expressed in more exquisite rhythm and simple
ty, than the following from the Musical World?
81 often think each tottering form
That limps along in life's decline,
Once bore heart as young, as warm,
AS full of idle faults as mine!
And each has had its dreams of joy,
Its own unequalled pure romance;
Commencing when the blushirg boy
First thrilled at lovely woman's glance.
"And each could tell his tale of youth,
Would think its scenes of love evince
More passion, more unearthly truth,
Than any tale before or since.
Yes! they could tell of tender lays
AT midnight penned in classic shades
OF days more bright than modern days
And maids more fair than modern maids
"Of whispers in willing ear;
Of kisses on a blushing cheek;
Each kiss, each whisper far too dear
Our modern lips to give or speak.
Of passions too untimely crossed;
OF passions sighted or betrayed
OF kindred spirits early lost.
And buds that blossomed but to fade
Of beaming eyes and tresses gay,
Elastic form and noble brow,
And forms that have all passed away,
And left them what we see them now.
And is it thus-is human love
So very light and frail thing?
And must youths brightest visions move
Forever on times restless wing?
"Must all the eyes that still are bright,
And all the lips that talk of bliss
And all the forms so fair to sight
Hereafter only come to this?
Then what are all earth's treasures worth,
If we at length must lose them thus
II all we value most on earth
Ere long must fade away from us?
The Placer herald., 1857-10-03

BLACK REPUBLICAN FINANo1ERs.-The
ordinary expenses Of Massachusetts are great
er than the aggregate ordinary expenses
of all the other New England States COM
bined. Last year they were 90 per cent
greater, with population Of AZ per cent
less. The ordinary expenses Of Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Rho1e Island and
Connecticut, last year, we're in the whole
$4,000; and the ordinary expenses of
Massachusetts alone we're $l,335,086. The
population of Massachusetts,, according to
the census Of 1850, was 994, 1914; and that
Of the five other New Eng land states COM
bined, l,733,5l2. In Massachusetts, the cost
per head of the population was 1888, while
in the other States the average was but
46 cents.

Progress of the Comet-All to see it.


The comet which was seen at Berlin
on the night Of June 22d, by Klinkerfue,
and recognized at Paris on the Oath of the
same month, has been observed with suffi-
cient minuteness to trace its orbit. From
the observations of Messrs. Villacreau and
Lepissier, at the Paris observatory it is as
certained to be far from its perihelon; and
that it will increase in brilliancv as it ap-
proaches, until it can be seen by the naked
eye. 1t will indeed, approach the sun, at
the same distance as the earth.
1t is also ascertained by its movements,
the position of its perhelion and incina-
ton to its orbit, that it is not the comet of
Charles v, which, it was calculated, would
return at some indefinite period before
1860, and which was recently announced
for the 18th of June, to annihilate the
earth.
Is this errant body an old acquaintance,
returning in accordance with established
laws, which may be observed and calculated;
or is 1t new comer visiting us for the first
time9 1t is impossible, at present, to an
swer these questions; astronomers must have
time to calculate its orbit more closely, and
to compare its movements with those Of sim
liar visitors observed heretofore. Two points
however, are settled. 1t is not the comet
of Charles "; and it can do us no harm
in consequence of the remoteness of its orbit
from the earth's. ". Y. Post.

AT the Dental Convention, in session at
Boston some Of the Dentists asserted that
the main, if not the sole cause of defective
teeth was the use Of salaratus and cream of

Baker fully agreed with the facts which are
stated, and gave the results of some expert
ments which he made by soaking sound
teeth in q solution of calaratus. The teeth
were destroyed in fourteen DAYS.

An old Eastern tradition says, that when
Adam and Eve we're IA the happy garden
there were sent down to them tIefve Baskets
of chit-chat, and the baskets being emptied.
contents we're scattered abont the garden
Adam being in rather pensive, thoughtful
mood, paid less attention to this trifling pres,
ent than his fair partner, and he gathered
only three baskets full, while Eve nimbly
picked up the other nine and carefully laid
them away for future use; consequently, the
stock of small talk which women have, COM
pared to men, is as three to one
