Brown County Ind. Gold Mines,

We saw yesterday German who had been
at work for some weeks in the Brown county
gold diggings, and learned from him that there
is gold to be had there, but NOT abundant enough
to pay for digging, except On alarger scale than
poor men can afford. Capitalists, able to nut
large amount into the construction Of suitable
bitches and machinery, be thinks, could make it
pay, for the gold is mone abundant than it is in
any Of the old mines in North Carolina or
Georgia, and quite equal to some Of the Cali.

places coarse gold which would pay 90 cents 10

generally the gold is very fine. and yielded but
two cents to thu par. He thinks that BY sinking
shafts through the surface rock aud soil, gold
bearing quaitz might be reached which mould
be very profitable. There is silver ore to be
fonnd, too, he thinks, in small quantities, not
only il Brown, but in jackson county, and there
u no doubt but that silver exists to some extent
in Lawrence. The gold region Of Brown is net
confined to any particular locality, but extends
through the upper and eastern portion, ever

At the 0berlin Church, on Sunday, the pastor
stated that Prof Monroe would lay IN interest
ing matter before the congregation
Mr.. Monroe cane forward and in substance
said, that he occasionally entertained, and at
times almost adopted, ceriaiu theories averseto
the practice Of buying meu and women from
shareholders for the purpose Of giving them
their freedom. "But, when toil-worn Woman,
as white and delicate as our own wives and
daughters, knocks tiulidly at nv door pud asks
for the love Of God, that l will give her some
thing to bug her own mother from bondage, n,y
hand goes into my pockets, and my theories are
gone in O moment, like water which, spilled on
the ground can never be gathered together"
Mr. Monroe then stated that there was in the
congregation woman who had been slave,
Her father and 'owneyh.d lived ia South Caro-
lima. Her father dying witkout freeing her, she
with her mother passed to another owEer, who,
becoming embarrassed, was forced to sell them
to different masters, she going to New Orleans,
her mother to Texas. At the death Of her third
master, the daughter was emancipated, and.
coming to Cincinnati, resolved to devote her
life to the redemption Of her mother. After
many unsuccessful efforts she learned her
whereabouts, and ascertained that her mother
could be purchased for $1,000. 1T FIRST she
thought to lay up the amount By taking in wash
ing, but she found after years Of trial, that she

Of Quaker friend she resolved to visit the

from farm to farm, meeting with some encour-

The Manufacture Of MosaIea.

A letter from Rome, in the Rochester Dano-
srat, gives the following account Of the manu-
facture Of nosaics at the Vatican factory:
The mosaic copies Of celebrated pictures,
which are now almost the only ones which
adorn the interior o. St. Peters, are the product
Of this manufactoEy. aud are far superior to the
ancient mosaics. The ancieu.s, besides their
interiority in painting, show no such delfcacy Of
shading, or such variety Of coloring, Is hss
been obtained in modern times. The material
used for these mosaics is artificial stone, of
which 10000 different shades are used. No one
but real artist, however, one might at f:st
Imagine, can excel in such work. It Was inter-
esting enough to see workman with picture
Of enormous size before him, working for hours
in the selection and fitting Of one little piece Of
stone into the mosaic which is to be its copy.
The large mosaics. eighteen feet in height,
which adorn St. Peters, haye some Of them
twenty fve years Of the labor Of several artists.
It seems to me that, rather than undertake 50
endless aud unproductive task, would be the
slave Of silver mlne,-aod get this perfection
Of the work is wonderful. At little distance
it is impossible to tell it from an oil painting,
and it is na1t to indestruetihle. The mos8ics
Of the Roman churches still last, while the
churches themselves have been changed in al
most everything else except theAolid walls.

aud, as well as most OF the others, wear their
hair precisely IS the Japanese do, and he he-
lieves that most Of those coral reefs are peo.

the natives Of those countries, while coa.,inc
along shore in boats, are driven out to sea bT
storms, and As they are alway well proyi toned
they easily sustain life until they are thrown
uroa some Of the islands OF the Pacific. Hence
tie odd tribes that are found mixed in with he
