HOW SAL DisCRACED THE FAMILY.

a Traveller in the State of Illinois, some
years age. came to a lone log hut on the
prairies. near Cuiro, and there halted. lie
went into the house Of logs. 1t was II
wretched aiair, with an empty packing box
for table. where two or three odd chairs
and disabled stoola sraced the reception
room: the dark walls of which were furiaer
ornameated by u display of dirty tin-ware
and broken def article or two.
The woman was crying in one corner, and
the man with tears in his eyes and pipe in
his mouth. sat on a stool with his dirty
arms resting across bis kaces, and his sor-
w-looking head supported by the palms
Of his hands. Not word greeted the in
terlopcr.
"Weil,' he said "you seem to be in
awful trouble here : what's up2.' -..s
"Uh, we are most craze1, ncIrhbor,' said
the woman; sand we amt got no patience
TO see folks now.'

much taken aback by this polite rebuff; "but

trouble -
"Wcil, we've lost our gal. Our SAILS

of despair.

Beyond the blankets, little rifles are
made in the sluice, and quicksilver is laid
in them to catch what the blankets aud
boxes had let slip; and then the creamy
stream runs out of the mill, and is consid
cred useless. After two or three days, per-
haps. sometimes every day, thu quicksilver
is collected from its various hiding places
in the mill, still looking white, but stifen-
ed by the gold it has arrested, and tho
amalgam is submitted to heat in retort.
The volatile mercury flies off in steam and
is collected again for further police duty,
and the gold is left in the crucible in one
mass, yellow and clean, TO pass quickly in.
to the blood of civilization. Different
methods are followed in different mills for
catching the gold by the spry and subtle
metal but nowhere is the gold obtained
pure from the rock. And in no mill. prob
ably, Is anything like all the gold saved
which the rock contains. Some scientific
miners maintain that the best machinery
now in use is so defective that not more
than quarter of the gold which the rock
contains in almost indnitesimal particles, is
arrested. If this is so, you will see what
fame and rewards await the man whose ge-
MUS shall conceive the process by which
such waste ofwealth may be obviated. He
will add two or three CALIFORNIA; to the
worlds treasury. If 1t be true that so much
treasure runs out of the mills, it throws
new meaning into the adage that 'any fool
can make money, but only wise man can
keep it," X.

Nrcrico-Cnpture OF Guadalotora.

A correspondent of the San Francisco.
Herald, writing from Mexico, furnishes the
following important intelligence:
The capture of Guadalajara, by the Lib.
erals is confirmed. The siege commenced
on the 23d of September, and continued
until the last day of Oct, when an agree
ment was entered into between the com.
manders of the opposing forces. Castillo
then abandoned the city. which was imme-
dlately occupied by the Liberals. The great
mass of the Conservatives afterwards re-
turned and Joined the Liberal army, while
Generals Castillo and WolI fed to Tepc.
and Tovar and Guadarrama retired to Mas.
Gotta, with nothing more than simple es.
cort; all the rest of the Conservatives Joined
the Liberals, and are now incorporated with
them. In the meanwhile, Maruuez marched
to the relief of the leagured city with 1000
men, but was encountered by o large force
OF Liberals and completely routed, leaving
ali his artillery, baggage and train, togeth.
er with nearly three thousand prisoners. in
the hands of the enemy. The Liberal forces
now amount TO 10000 men. Mexico alone
remains to be captured but that will be
easy to effect, because the Conservatives
exhausted their utmost powers in endeavor.
ing to relieve Guadalajara. Every prison.
er, from Sergeant downward. captured from
the Conservatives, has Joined the Liberals.
while all their officers were placed at liberty
and given ten dollars each. The number
of those who have so joined amounts to
1000.
Gen. Castillo, in command OF the Conser.
vative army, has retreated to Magdalena
with only 1000 men.
The cities of Amatitlan, Quintanilla.
Montenegro and Segura have pronounced
in favor Of the Liberal government.
All the Foreign Ministers have withdrawn
from Mexico and gone to Jalapa. The
news of the capture of Guadalajara was
received at Mazatlan with great entbusi-
asm. Canons were fired and the city was
brilliantly illuminated in the evening.

Of Sinaloa, has published decree abolish

The Bulletin correspondent of the 9th of October
in critcising the different Photographic Pictures at
the last State Fair says:
son the opposite wall hang the contributions Of
j. Shew of San Francisco. These also are most cred
table specimens Of the Photographic art Among
them is ife-size head and bust Of Senator Bruder
ick-probably the most perfect which has been made
of the late Senator. Side by side with these, hang
series of most wreched libes the art contributed
by some one In Nevada. They serve however, TO
set off to better advantage the productions of more
skiliful competitors.
AZ that paper don't give the name of the artist who
send such pictures, 1t must be known that A.
LIEBERT, the Photographic Artist of Broad street
published in the papers of Nevada that he was the
only one in this city who sent pictures to the State
Fair.
