What Becomes of the Gold.

Tho amount of gold dug from tho earth
is large, and in latter years has beon much
increased by rich gold discoveries. The
Russian mines were discovered 10 1919, the
California in Is4s, and the Australian, in
1851. Tho product of the Russian mines
from their discovery until the close of 1858,
is estimated at S672 100000. To the same
period. those in California had amounted to
1854 900 O0O, and those of Australia tos6I5,
600. 900.
In addition to the coinage of gold for cir
culation,a largo sum is evory yoar consumed
in arts, all over tho civilized world. 1t is
stated that in Birmingham, England, not
less than 1000 ounces of fine gold arc used
every woek. London uses 400 ounces OF
gold.eaf weekly; Edinburg. 35; Birming-

THE SUMMER IS OVER
BY RMELINa s. SMITH.

Softly Autumn winds were sighing
Over pale, sweet flowrets dying,
As I roamed tho garden, trying
There TO find ono lingering rose
Mid the briery bushes creeping,
Under faded leaflets peeping,
Iicro and there, still vainly keeping
Hopeful search, till daylightS close.
disappointment then stole DER me;
Thoughts of Winter gloomod before mci
Time, said l, may ne'or restore me
Summers blssful scenes again.
Had only priced its roses,
Priced its days of cloudless closes,
Prizod its balmy ewes reposes,
Less wero now my grief and pain,
But, alas! those hours went stealing
Like veiled beauties by, conccaling
Half tho charms whose full revealing
Might havo left this heart aglow-
Might haVe left fond mem'res beaming
On tho spirits after-dreamng;
Tender beacons, softly cleaning
Where Life's darken'd wavelets flow.
List, ye maids now dancing lightly,
List, ye youths so gay and sprightly,
Use your summer moments rightly,
Gather roses while ye may.
Life hath but ono June, rcmembcr;
Quickly comes its chill November,
Followed soon by wild December
Sweeping all fair flowers away.
Think how sad, when Summer closes,
And great Natures heart reposes,
This fond searching after rosos,
When the roses nll are dcad!
wisely, then, while Spring smiles o'or yc,
Pluck the flowers that spring before ye--
Flowers whose sweetucss shall restore ve
Youths delights whom youth has flod.

MUsrc AS A MEDICINE Eugene do Mire-
court, in his lively little biography of
Felicien David, tho composer, whose recent
work, Herculaneum." was so successful at
the Paris opera, tells that when in the East,
David cured q man sick with fover, by his
piano forte performances. The sick man at
the sound of tho instrument felt his fever
loave him, and whom il threatened TO renow
its attacks David would chase it away by a
few proudes. In week the man was well.
This was not unlike tho genuine original
David playing before Saul. This fact is
worth receiving the attention of the faculty.
To treat people by music would DO an ex-
cellent method of introducing harmony into
the conflicting medical systems. A dys.
pcptic affection would probably bo cured by
three days Of the cornot-a. piston. Nothing
has yet been advanced to prove that neural
gia could resist al hour of tho violoncoIlo,
and an attack of cholora, however violent,
would not stand more than twenty minutes
of ophicleide. Half an hour of bassoon
would drive away the headache, while doaf-
ness could be efeotualIy cured by the united
efforts Of these instruments 10 one Of Verdi 3

THE POWER OF MEMoRY.-The follow
ing notice of a singular faculty posse ssed
by the great New En- gland rhetorici an
appears in Northern journal:
"As was his custom in delivering the
Washington Grafton, "Mr. Everett spoke
the whole Of his late eulogy on Webster
without; any note whatsoever. II is a
most wonderful exhibition Of the power Of
memory, and one rarely. if ever met with
in conjunction with such great mental
power as distinguishes MIR. Everett"
This extraordinary power OF memory en-,
ables Mr.. Everett TO give to his great ad-
dresses all .he exquisite fnish which the
most sedulous care in composition can be-
stow. while by long practice he is enabled
to impart quite an air Of extemporaneous
efFusion TO the delivery OF fervors a week,
month, or perhaps several years old.

THE FOREIGN GRAIN TRAD E.-The New
York Journal of Commerce notices the fol-
lowing fact connected with the foreign grain
trade
It is stated, on good authority, that bread
stuffs are lower at Liverpool than at any of
the leading Baltic ports. This would appear
to show conclusively that the continent has
already made an over expectation, and that the
future supplies for British markets must come
chiefly from this side. The excellent quality
of American wheat the current year will fa-
vor such demand, and we certainly look for
a still further increase in the export trade
hence, before the next harvest. Including the
supplies at near lake ports, there are about
four million bushels of wheat available for
shipment, so that brisk foreign demand need
not fail Of being met, or lead to any extraor.
dinary advance in price.

sentative in no less a perSonage than Alfred
Caldwell. ex- Mayor of Wheeling, and now one
of the Virginia State Senators. He was ac-
companied by MIR. Underwood, another promi-
nent Firginian, and both gentlemen strongly
urged that Wheeling, Va, be the place selected
for the Convention This was supported by
some other delegates. but opposed by the ma
jority, on the ground that it might be misun. l..
derstood by Virginians generally. ST. Louis,
Baltimore, Indianapolis, Washington, Chi
cago, and Buffalo were also advocated The

THE TRAGIC DRAMA.-A recent number OF
the Memphis Argus gives the following ac-
count of an occurrence in Little Rock, Ark.
Mr.. Turnbull, manager of the Little Rock
Theatre, has been for some time suspicious OF
his wife's conduct toward an actor connected
with the establishment. Until last Wednes-
day, however, nothing positive to confirm his
susplcions had been ELECTED. On that day,
when on attempting to enter his wife's apart
ment, the door was fastened, aud although he
heard voices inside all his efforts to procure
admittance were unsuccessful. Mr.. Turnbull
stationed himself in a position that enabled
him to watch the door, and at the same time
himself remain concealed, and shortly after
saw a man named Conner, accompanied by an
actor connected with the theatre, emerge
from the room. Later in the day Turnbull
invited Conner to his room at the hotel, under
some pretence. Once inside, he confron. led
Conner, in presence of the guilty woman, and
drawing pistol, commenced firing. Conner
returned the fire. but neither was injured. -
Mrs. Turnbuli's screams brought a crowd to
the door, and further hostilities were pre-
vented The lady who has been the occasion
of this hostile collision, is respee tably con-
nected, aud has heretofore sustained good
character. The affair has created great deal
OF scandal among the inhabitants of Little
Rock. Conner, thinking ''discretion the bet
ter part of valor," seized a favorable oppor-
tunity and made good his escape
