of the age, and consequently Of great benefit to
the nation, for although the production of salt
in the United States in 1860 was nearly thir-
teen millions of bushels, yet the importations
Of this article from foreign ports we're very
large.
While OH this subject, we take occasion TO
insert the following brief description of the salt
mines of Crocow, which we happen TO have at
hand =
The salt mines of Cracow were discovered in
1851. The length of the mines from east to
west is about 6000 Ieel the breadth. from
north to south, about 1000 feet, and they are
800 feet in depth. When a stranger wishes to
visit these mines, he is habited in a suit of mi
ner's clothes, and let down by machinery, a
perpendicular descent of 600 feet. The place
is very dark, and the miner who descends as
guide, strikes light and conducts the stranger
forward, through several gloomy, winding pas
sages, at the end OF which they descend by lad
ders 200 feet lower, into large cavern thro'
this cavern. they enter upon an open plain,
peopled by the miners and their families, to-
gether with their horses, dogs-tnd other do
mestic animals. Nothing can exceed the bril-
liancy OF this place. illtmi6a,ed by thousands
of lamps, rejecting their light upon the beau
tiful and transparent surface of the salt in ev-
cry varied color.-MObiie Times.

and statislcian. Every crib full TO its utmost
capacity, and every farmer seeking for stock o

their industry. More than third of this great
crop has been raised by those States; illinoi;

Two boys were in carpenters shop. One
determined 10 make himself a thorough work.
man; the other "didn't care" One read and
studied, and got books that would help him
understand the principles of his trade. He
spent his evenings at home, reading; the other
liked fun best. He went off with other boys
to have good times" "Come," he often said
to his shop mate, "leave your old books go
with us. What's the use of all this reading ?"
''If you waste these golden moments was the
answer, II shall lose what can never, never
make up"
While the boys were still apprentices an offer
of $4,000 appeared in the newspapers for the
best plan for State House, to be built in one
OF the Eastern States.
The studious boy saw the advertisement, and
determined to try for it. After careful study
he drew his plans, and sent them to the COM
mittee. / suppose he did not really expect 10
gain the prize; still there is nothing like try
ing.
it was not long before committee of gen
tlemen arrived at the carpenters shop, and
asked if an architect by the name-mentionnl
the boys name-lived there. "No," said tht
carpenter, ''no architect I've got an appren
tice hy that name" Lets see him" said thu
committee.
The young man was called, and sure enougl
his plan had been accepted and the $4,000 wer'
his.
