A musical fish is advertised as on sight in
London. Is it codfsh9 We know that
that creature possesses sounds. What does
it sing-"A life on the ocean wave9" And
in what key is it's voice pitched! We supp
pose G. And does it run up its own scales!
We wonder it it sings with much sole. We
shall take an early opportunity OF visiting
this maritime museum, to whom we feel
ourselves drawn by strange fesling-in fact,

SCENE AT WILLtARp's.-The Mountain
Democrat says: We are making rapid strides
to greatness under Abolition rule. We have
made many sacrifices for the exclusive benefit
of the negro, and are constantly called upon
to make more. Not satisfied with enamel.
patiug them, the leaders of the party in
power insist upon placing them upon an
equality with the whites. They are to be
granted not only the right Of suffrage, but
be eligible to office-to make laws for and
rule the white race The Washington cor.
respondent of the Boston Post sends the
following beautiful specimen of Abolition
"fraternity and equality"
"At Willards, in the evening dinner hour,
Hon. Mr.. Brandagee, Representative from
Connecticut, and E. s. Cleaveland, postmaster
at Hartford, addressed the assembled negro
walters in such manner as to engage the
attention and win the plaudits of the large
company in the dining hall, and to call forth
a contribution for the darkeys which amount.
ed TO :l65. Mr.. Bran1agee told the colored
gentlemen how free they were, and mildly
besought them, now that they we're in power
not to deal too harshly with the white men,
and suggested that they should return the
respectful sautes Of the whites when they
met them in public places. One Of the
gentlemen from Africa nominated Brandagee
for the next President, and he proceeded to
select h is Cabinet from their number"

SAM PATcu.-The love of fame or noto.
riety is strong passion in the human breast.
There are few persons who do not at some
time in their lives build castles in the air
and dream of greatness. The greatness and
fame of Sam Patch are unlike those of Wash
ington, who established free government
unlike DR.. Kane, who made perilous voy.
ages to the Polar Sea-unlike the fame Of
Miss Nightingale, who sought the battle-felds
of the Crimea, and like ministering angel,
nursed the sick and wounded soldiers. But
still, Sam Patch was great in his way; be
WAS great jumper. He was native of
New Eng gland, and became aborer in
cotton factory at Pawlucket, r. l., where he
commenced his jumping career in the suns
mer OF 1929. He jumped the Passaic Falls
at Patterson N. j. lie then went to the
Falls of Niagara, and jumped from the end
of Goat Island, between the Horse Shoe
Falls and the American Falls. His last
jump was at the Falls Of Genesee, q dis.
tance of hundred and twenty five feet. In,
his previous jumps he had descended per-
pendicuIarly, feet foremost, and escaped in.
jury; but in bis last jump, he lost bis ball
ance, struck the water sideways and was
probably killed by the concussion against
the surface of the water.

Sonora Copper Mines.

a correspondent of one of the St. Louis
papers gives the narrative Of an expedition
from the foot of the Sierra Madre range
across the State of Sonora to Arizona.
in which allusion is made to the "marvelous"
Nacosari copper mines as follows:
1t is a most wonderful development Of
that valuable ore, so lavishly and redundant.

very surface one beholls masses of copper

whether to call it vein or lode. 1t is sixty
feet wide and runs four miles. The ore is so
advantageously situated that it can be blast

contract to take out five thousand tuns at
that figure. No shafts or tunnels seem ne
cessary any more than on Pilot Knob, Iron
Mountain. All that is necessary is to put in
blast and knock off "a lun at a pop
Besides the copper each tun contains sixty
dollars per tun in silver have many spec
linens of the beautiful ore, many of them as
beautifully variegated as the cools of the
spectrum, all of them fifty per cent pure.
The "Don Juan" is a continuation of this
wonderful minc, two thousand feet distant.
Neither of them have been much worked,
capital being wanting. The face of the mine
already stripped, presents the beautiful ore
in such advantageous position that the mer-
est bungler in mining could knock it out so
rapidly and at such little cost, that it
could be laid down at the doors of the s,net.

LETTER FROM CO. c, 2O9Tu p. v.-ALL QUIET
RAIN, vAPoR, AND NORTHUMBERLAND IN
REGIMEST-HEALTH OF COMPANY.
Correspondence of The Alleghanian.
MEADE's STATION, VA, Jan. %.
Dull and dreary is everything around.
Saturday, rain began to fall, and contin-
ued SO to do throughout the entire day,
until all things exposed to the weather
were as thoroughly saturated as their ma
ture would allow them to be. Yesterday,
all day heavy vapor rested on the ground,
and to-day, the clouds are again in tears.
Virginia mud is abundant, and answers
the purpose of the best Of bootjacks.
About the only thing that relieves the
monotony of camp life is an occasional
review. These seem to be more plenty in
our own and the I'd corps than il others.
This day week, our brigade was reviewed
by Col. Matthews, of the I'd brigade, and
Brig.-Gen. Hartranft, commanding divis-
ion. On Thursday, the I'd brigade was
reviewed by Col. Diven, of the 1st. Both
brigades presented very creditable ap-
pearance. A division review was to take
place yesterday, but the weather spoiled
the arrangement.
Day before yesterday, the number of
deaths in the regiment was increased by
the demise of member of Co. B. This
makes the totai of deaths seven Perhaps
no other regiment in the division can
show so light mortality as this.
Many have been patiently awaiting for
the transpiring of that great feat by which
Lee was to astonish the world, but SO far
they have waited in vain. A portion of
our army lay IN the works for night or
more, lately, in anticipation of the prom
ised event.
The health of the company IS excellent.
Those Who were seriously i'll at my last
writing are rapidly recovering.

CoAL.-The Hollidaysburg Standard
says: "The Ebensburg ers, notwithstand-
ing their residence within one of the
greatest coal regions of the State, have to
pay twenty cents per bushel for coal, and
bad measure at that"
And that's not the worst of it. Not
withstanding the fact, which is fact,
that this is "one of the greatest ccal re-
gions of the State" our people are actually
obliged to send abroad for the major por-
ton Of all the coal they burn This is
simply by reason that energy and enter
prise have not yet been discovered here
in quantities sufficient to prompt the ta-
king hold Of and developing our own in
ternal resources.
If the "twenty cents per busheP' were
paid our own people, and the money SO
kept "at home," (Which would be domes-
tic econGmy,) We might be able to stand
the pressure. As it is, VIC are doing a
losing business, first, in countenancing the
carrying of other Goals to this Newcastle,
and, second, in paying an exorbitant tax
for the enjoyment Of that super necessary
luxury.
Coal could and should be sold here at
ten cents bushel. This will be the case
when capitalists from other parts, attrac-
ted by Its unequalled richness, buy up and
develop our coaLbearing territory. Not
sooner, we fear.

RHEUMATIC COMPOUND
BLOOD PURIFIER !
AND

1mg gioat internal remedy is the best ned
icine ever offered to the public for the ef
fectual cure of rheumatism, Gout, Neuralgia,
Dyspepsia, and Blood Purifier, iG has no
equal for all diseases arising from impure
state of the blood, such as Scrofula or Kings
Evil, Scald Head, letter, Ring Worm, Female
complaints, and all break-outs on the face or
body. The vast number of rub on medicines
which formerly have been used for those dis
eases were merely temporary in their effects,
and of doubtful virtue, but the RHEUMATIC
COMPOUND reaches the source of all trouble,
and eff'ectually banishes the disease from the
system by its immediate action on the blood.
We advise one and all 10 give it trial, and
become satisfied of its wonderful power.
