"GArHER THEN IN."-The old pion-
GERS of the Pacific coast, who led the
van of civilization and enterprise in the
then Western wilds, are fast being gath
cred in-the Angel of Death is spotting
them, and they are going to that "bourne
from whence no traveller returns" On
opening the Sacramento Union, of yes
terday morning, we find the following
notice of the decease Of an old-time
acquaintance, Mr.. J. l.. Polhemus, well
known to many of our Washoe readers {:
Death of j. l.. Poihemus.-J. L. Pol
hemus, druggist, at Seventh and ]
streets, died yesterday morning, after
prolonged illness. The deceased came
to..California in August, lS49, and soon
afterward engaged in the business which
he followed until his demise. The de-
ceased was q member Of Concord Lodge,
No. III, F. and A. NJ, and also a men,
Der and Past Grand Of FL Dorado Lodge,
No. 8, /. o. OF. Both these organiza-
tons will meet to-day to attend the
funeral, which will take place at 2
o'clock P. n. The druggists of the city
have also determined to close their
stores from 2 to 3 o'clock for the pur-
pose Of attending the funeral.

THE ancients looked upon the earth
as n fat disc, swimming upon water like
a piece of toast in q basin of milk. Once
upon o time a lot Of adventurous young
ancients started out to find a jumping
off place, and continuing on q straight
line they were astonished to find them
selves on the very spot whence they
started. They informed their parents
of the circumstance, and they, after
about d century of painful and laborious
thought upon the subject, came to the
conclusion that the earth must be round,
because if it amt" triumphantly
asked a jolly old ancient, "how could
the boys ha' got around itT" There vas
no getting around that, and the earth
has been Of a spherical form ever since.

LONG SERxoSs.-Church-goers of the
present day, who dread the prospect of
long sermons, should become patient
listeners when they learn that in I'LL q
clergyman at Colesford, in Somerset
shire, England, preached to a large con-
gregation a sermon which consisted Of
sixty-three pages Of printed matter.
When he reached the end of the thirty
first page he said: "Thus | have (you
may wish l could say briefly considered
the two things | proposed in the begin
ming Of this discourse, and possibly the
only inference you may desire me to
make is that it is high time for me to
leave off; yet, considering this is the
first, and probably will be the last in
stance of my t~respassing upon your pa
thence, | shall beg leave to conclude
with the following differences" The
worthy clergyman who was just half
through, then continued with eight in
ferences, the discussion of which occu-
pied thirty-two pages; and not inaptly
at the close he said, "And l hope every
good Protestant will heartily say amen -
which was no doubt as heartily said as
the clergyman desired.

A CHANCE FOR II "ASxIous AMI
AIxLEss" LOWELL GIRLS. - Brigham
Young has thoughts Of compassion TO-
ward the Lowell factory girls, as witness
this passage from his last conference ad-
dress:
"The last time l was in the city Of
Lowell, there were fourteen thousand
more females than males in that one
city. This is many years ago. They
live and die in a single state, and are
forgotten. Have they filled the meas.
ure of their creation, and accomplished
the designs of heaven in bringing them
upon the earth? No, they have not.
Two thousand good, God fearing mer
should 60 there, and take to themselves
seven wives apiece. 1t is written in the
Bible, 'and in that day, seven women
shall lay hold Of one man, saying W.
shall eat our own bread, and wear oul
own apparel; only let us be called by
thy name to take away our reproach.
The Government of the United States
do not intend that that prophesy shall
be fulfilled, and the Lord Almighty
means that it shall. Do you not think
the Lord will conquer2 think he will,
and we are helping him."

A New GuNPowDER. A blacksmith
living near Leipsic has invented a new
gunpowder, which, according to several
experiments that have been made, has
been found to possess the valuable prop
erty of not exploding so long as the air
has access to it. Other advantages arc
also claimed for this powder-that it
acts with greater force than ordinary
gunpowder when in an air-tight enclos-
ure; leaves less residuum; and produces
less and more evsnescent smoke. In
various mining operations in which it
has been employed, the smoke emitted
is said not to have had any injurious
influence on the health of the miners.
The inventor, who claims that his pow
der can be manufactured cheaper than
ordinary g%unpowder, is trying to sell
his patent to the French Government.

SENATOR NYE.-Brother Forbes, of
the Humboldt Register, has very re-
Gently conceived the idea that our dis
tinguished and eloquent Senator, James
W. Nye, is not exactly the person who
should be reelected to the United States
Senate, at the incoming session of our
Legislature. Brother Forbes says So
or in so many words-in his last Regis
tu., As Senator Nye was the choice of
the Union party of Humboldt prior to
the election, and as their candidates for
the Legislature were nominated upon
that issue, and as nothing has trans
n;r.d since TO change the sentiments of
that constituency, we are at loss to
know Why Brother Forbes has changed
the style Of his political sails.

s,,ccpssprtl PROCESS.

Some months ago we illustrated
described at length q "chloride OF soGum
process; !" which many years ago naa 20
been stumbled upon in the cGu.Se y "
some experiments made by Mr.: Jonn n.
Wycof at his gold mines in virginia
and since tested BY him to very CON
siderable extent. We have recently
heard more of it, viz: that it has been
tried at the Holman Mill, BLACK hawh,
Colorado, by Professor Bradfora' "no
found that the tailings of that mill yield
ed from $500 to $500 per ton by this
process; that Engineer Aitken has tired
+ in Montana, and found it produced
from the rock he tested on average Tl
$500 per ton, some of it going as hign
as S., 900; that a number OF scientlnc
gentlemen, as well as many practical
mill men, have taken ores to be treated
at Mr.. Wycof's Reduction works In
Williamsburgh, and after working them
in patches of 200 pounds to the charge,
with their own hands, have been abso-
lutcly startled at the results; and that
some thirty mining companies operating
in different parts Of the country have
decided upon adopting it. These par
~ticulars we have not only from Mr.. WIS
own lips, but from those of other gen
tlemen of veracity who are not pecuni-
| arily interested in the success OF the
process-except in so far as every per-
| ION engaged in mining must be interest
ed-and who have tested the matter
themselves. One of them is Professor
Bradford-who made his tests in Colo
RADIO, without the knowledge of Mr..
| Wand he informs US that he is certain
it is the best process for saving gold,
and thinks it may prove the best in saw
ing silver and other metals. Many old
miners and mill-men will probably doubt
| whether such results can be obtained rs
Mr.. Wycoff's books show, for they are
really marvellous, but let them take 200
pounds of ore with them, and their own
quicksilver and salt, and manipulate
the batch with their own hands at his
works, and they will probably be as
much astonished as was our friend DR..
| Stevens, who tells US he obtained by
this process double the yield given by
any other. We must confess that we
have been very slow to believe, and are
not yet ready to give it our unqualified
Endorsement, but when we hear such
competent and disinterested gentlemen
speaking so highly of it after u fair test
we certainly can do no less than to ad'
wise all interested in the cheap, simple
rapid and eficacious working Of ores tt
give it a trial.-Am. Journal Of Mining

THE MINERAL RESOURCES OF JAPAN
It is announced that the mountains of
Japan contain limestone, sandstone and
coal Gold is found in abund-
ance, but the chief metallic production
is copper. 1t is so plentiful that the
Japanese line their boats inside and
outside with it, and also use it to cover
the shutters and roofs of their houses.
They have spades and cooking utensils
made of it. There is one of the islands
which contains, it is said, nothing else
but copper ore. Iron, however, is met
with but in limited quantities, and the
Japanese wash it out of the sands as
gold miners do with gold. Coal is
found all over the country, though the
mines are not much worked, nor is there
a great demand for it, as the people
dress very warmly and use cha6ng-
dishes in their houses to keep them
warm. The coal mines will be of great
value, however, to steam lines connect
ing with America and Europe.

A QUEER episode in the women's con-
vention at Albany was produced by a
man named Barnes, slightly more wild
and incoherent than Theodore Tilton,
who began by praying the Great Recon-
structor to resurrect the bones of the
Indians and make voters Of them, and
then talked about the Importance OF
"enlarging the maternal element" in
such broadly suggestive style that Miss
Anthony felt constrained to choke him
off. His talk was exceedingly malappro-
pos, as only a maniac could fail to see,
the "maternal element" being already
a chief obstacle to the project for equal
izing the sexes.

in reference TO the Emperor Napoleon,

there is a story that he has been dead a
fortnight, and was personated at the
