soAPsToNE OF MACON COUNTY, N. G.


Prof Emmons, in letter to the Franklin OBJ
server says:
The resources of the western counties arc i'm
portant in many respects. had no time to say
all wished in my communication of the I'd inst,
hence | hope to be able to add from time to time
as circumstances may permit. | would par
tcularize the so called Sonpstone, Of the Nantaha
la Valley, and which believe is i'll Macon county.
This rock is by no means the common soapstone
or steatte which is magnetism mineral. On the
contrary, showed i'll my report of 1886, that it Is
alumnous rock, that aunlna takes the place
of magnesa. \ specimen which | gave DIR. Jack
son, Of Boston, for anal ysis, yielded him Is per
cent of a!umina. 1t is closely allied to the Agat
n,utoltte or figure stone of the Chinese. Although
not soapstone, it is still adapted in an eminent
degree to be used for the purposes, as sub
situte for fire brick and as lining for stoves But
for these purposes, it should be cut into proper
forms and dried before used that moisture or water
may be disposed of, otherwise it is liable to flake
off when heated. This rock, when ground, is used
for making the fine pearl paper for papering rooms;
it also put into fancy soaps to aid III preserving
the perfume. 1t is worth about $40 per ton in
New York. The most important of it, howev
er, is IN tile n1nmoJdct"re cf porcelain. When
the agamatolte is incorporated with fine white 81
lex, it is capable of fusion, and if the composition
is properly prepared, it make the fine porcelain Of
commerce. In Europe, this rock is worth, it is
said, $500 per ton for the porcelain manufacture.
There is no doubt, that when the railroads
opened through your country, this mineral will be
in demand it is rather superior in quality to that
upon Deep river. But why should not porcelain
be made near the spot where the elements of its
composition abound-the porcelain clays, sand
stones, white states, &c.

FATAL DUELs.-A correspondent of the New
York Herald, at Havana, writes as follows:
A Major Of the rural militia, who is ixty-fve
years old, at Cuno, about four leagues from this
city, having had quarrel with a man, duel en-
sued with swords, and the old man killed his ad-
versary, who was many years his junior the second
of whom then took up the quarrel, and he, too,
received his quetus at the point Of the old Major
sword then a cousin Of the first killed took it up,
and he ais fell by the nervous of the old
man; lastly friend of all the others felt bound to
ayenge their deaths, but upon receiving rather
severe wound, declared himself satisfied. 1t is be-
lieved that the old mans galantry will cause his
quittal by the military court before which he will
be tried.
