HENRY WINTER DAVIS. This distin-
guished gentleman made notable speech in
the House recently upon the Emancipation
Bureau Bill, in which he took radical
view Of the question, and expressly declared
war against the President. He said that
Maryland was not indebted to Lincoln for
any of its present radical views upon the
leading questions of the day, and that the re-
cent Endorsement of him by the Unionists Of
Maryland was, after all, provisional in cha
racter. He saws that slavery is not dead.
and that Copperhead majority in Congress,
or Copperhead triumph in November next
will resurrect slavery and call it into new life.
Davis always commands the attention Of the
House, and his speech to-day listened to
with the most profound attention, Fernando
Wood, Pendleton and others coming over
into the Administration benches to hear the
great Marylander, who would, if he could,
carry his State over to Chase.

SPECIFIC GRAvITY.-Hiero, king of
Syracuse, who reigned in the fifth century,
having furnished workman with a
quantity of gold for making crown, sus-
pected that he had been cheated, and that
the workman had used greater alloy
of silver than was necessary in the manu-
facture of it; he therefore applied to Ar
chimedes for a detection of the fraud.
This celebrated mathematician was led by
chance to a mode of detecting the impos-
ture, and determining precisely the guam
titles of gold and silver (which the crown
was composed. While he was bathing in
tub of cold water, he observed that, as
he immersed his body in it, the water run
out, and he Immediately concluded that,
supposing the tub full, the water which
run out when his whole body was i'm
mersed, was equal in bulk to his body.
Archimedes was so pleased with this dis
covery as to run about the streets exclaim-
ing IL have found il" Others affirm
that he offered hecatonb to Jupiter for
having inspired him with the thought.
The principle having thus suggested itself
to Archimedes, he procured ball of gold
and another of silver, exactly of the same
weight of the crown. considering that if
the crown were altogether either of gold
or silver, the balls of gold or silver would
be of the same bulk, and consequently,
when immersed in water would raise it
Just as high as the crown would if I'M
mersed. And, if on the contrary, the
crown was of gold and silver mixed in a
certain proportion, this proportion would
be discoved by the hight to which the
crown would raise the water, higher than
the gold ball, or lower than the silver ball.

PEpPER's GHOST IN CHIcAGo.-Profes-
sor Peppers ghost has been eclipsed in
Chicago. An in 1ividual from the rural
districts stepped into store on Lake
street, few days ago, and while making
his purchases, cast his eyes down along
the long line of shelving and counters, re-
marking to clerk: mighty long store
this is, from one end to t'other." The
clerk nodded assent and the eye of the
countryman fell upon his own reflection
in large mirror at the other end OF the
store. "There's my brother out there in
that ere alley, sure's you live, and hain't
seen him afore in three years. How can
l get back there:" The clerk told him
he would have to 60 out on Lake street
around the corner and into the alley. 1t
should be remarked that the clerk did not
see the joke, really supposing that the
countryman had seen his brother through
rear window. Rural went out and af-
ter an hours search, returned and an
nounced that his brother had "gin him
the slip" Looking down the store, he
exclaimed, "I'll be darned if brother John
hain't there agin," and down he padded
towards the mirror. AS he neared it he
smiled-his reflection cordially returned
it and advanced to meet him. Rural ex-
tended his hand, and the reflection ex-
tended its hand. Just at that instant ru-
rails hand came in contact with the cold
glass he started back, rubbed his eyes,
took a second look and saw it. He
rushed from the store, swearing that he
and his brother John were twins, and
couldn't tell one another apart, and the
burned lookin' glass had sucked him in.

MINING ORGANIzATIoNs.-The Colorado
Mining Journal throws out the following
very pertinent and suggestive ideas to its
readers, which are most particularly ap-
plicable to this latitude also "A COM
pany with working capital of $5O,OOO,
would soon be declaring good dividends,
and the stock would inevitably advance
far above par, and be eagerly sought.
But when, with only the same basis on
which to work, the capital stock is
swelled to million, or millions, no man
agenent in the world can prevent it from
depreciating and finally becoming worth
less. Of course, by the sale of the stock
in the market, the getters-up of these
schemes line their pockets and that is the
intention. Opening the mines of the
company is entirely a secondary interest
with them. Selling stock is their busi-
ness. And the fleeced public, sooner or
later, finds this to be as worthless as the
paper on which it is printed. These ope-
rators know perfectly well that the mines
cannot be made to pay dividends on such
an enormous and chiefly fictitious capital,
and they cease to look to them for it.
They use the real merit of the country for
their own purposes and operations"

REAL DEL MoNTE.-This celebrated mine
the richest and most noted of the Esmeralda
region, appears, according to the Aurora
Times, to have been terribly mismanaged

has much weight on the subject. The Real

S6l9, 900 in the space Of seven months. Paid
expenses and had $3l9, 900 remaining. What
became of it? Suppose that S3l9, 900. had
been divided in a dividend to the stockhold.

foot, or share-instead, the company are be.
