Gold and Metallic Ore. In America.

The precious metals are deposited in
three broad belts, one known as the
appalachian Gold Field" traversing
the older States in the Union in a line
parallel with the Atlantic coast, and ap-
pearing in Virginia and North Carolina;
the other as the "Rocky Mountain Gold
Field" traversing all the more recently
organized territories of the United
States; and the other as the "Sierra Ne
vada Gold Field" extending through
the country bordering on the Pacific.
Iron is at the same time the most gene
rally distributed through the public
land States, and it has been estimated
that there is iron ore enoughlin Missouri
alone to supply a million tons per an
mum of manufactured iron for the next
two hundred years; while lead, tin, and
zinc are found in several Of the States
and territories. Copper in immense
quantities is found in the vicinity Of the
lakes east of the Mississippi, existing
likewise in greater or lesser degree in
the region extending from the Missis-
sippi Valley to the Pacific. The precious
metals exist chiefly in California, in Ne
yada, in northeastern and southwestern
Oregon, in Washington Territory, in
Idaho, Montana, Colorado, southern
Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona, scat
tered over an estimated area of q mil
lion square miles, and now yielding an
annual product in gold and silver, ac-
cording to the best attainable estimates,
Of over 500, 600 900.

RELATIONS WITH RELATIoSs.-When
relations begin to feel out of humor with
relations, the disease, if encouraged, be-
comes monstrous and u%nrootable. Cases
have been known where near rela-
tions have lived together for years and
years without exchanging a word. And
when death came and separated them, a
food Of remorse embittered the last
yeas Of the one left, until they were
ready to pray to God to send death for
them also, t o relieve them of their in
tolerable anguish. Even good, pious,
truthful people are sometimes victims Of
this bitterness Of feeling against their
relations. They perhaps suffer from
the supercilious pride Of naughty rela-
tons, who, very inferior to them in
goodness and worth, yet accident hav-
ing made them rich and prosperous,
they feel they have q right to snub their
poor relations.

IL the World Growing Largers

Is there not reason to think that the
earth is daily Increasing in size? Is
there not an action taking place on its
surface analogous to that which occurs
in n plastic cell when placed in circum-
stances favorable to its development ?
To illustrate this thought: We plant
q little acorn weighing a few grains in
the ground. In the course of time, it
becomes the large oak, weighing thou
sands Of pounds, and spreading its
branches far and wide In every direc-
ton. This oak gets its weight princi-
pally from the air we breathe, and re-
mains upon the earth thousands Of years,
perhaps, and undergoes a great many
changes before it is finally restored to
the atmosphere, v e if this even ever
does take place. So animals derive
their weight and bulk partly from the
air they breathe into their lungs and
and partly from tho vegetable produce
lions which they devour. When ami
mails die, their bodies, it is true, are
partly decomposed into gas, and restor-
ed to the atmosphere, but they are prin-
cipally seized upon and appropriated by
growing vegetables, which in their turn
are devoured by other animals. 1t thus
seems to US that the great earth, through
the agency of its animals and vegetable
productions, must, be daily increasing at
the expense of the atmosphere by which
It is surrounded.
In other words, the plants and ami
mails of the earth are all the time appro-
priating to themselves the elements of
the atmosphere and form out Of them
new compounds, which remain upon the
earth an almost indefinite length of time
before they are decomposed and restored
to the atmosphere This idea is illus
trated in our coal mines. All coal was
originally wood, sfdlike all wood, was
formed principally at the expense Of the
elements of the atmosphere. This coal
has remained upon the earth millions of
years, perhaps, and now at length men,
urged on by their necessities, are dig
cling it up, and by, burning it, restoring
it in the shape of carbonic acid, to the
atmosphere, from which it originally
came. No one, it seems to US, can
doubt that the earth is larger now than
it was when this coal existed in the
form of wood.
Although the world may be increas-
ing now, It does, not follow that it will
continue to increase for all time; sooner
or later an equilibrium will be estab-
lished between the amounts of element
ary principles which the earth takes
from and restores to the atmosphere.
But at present, in my opinion, it is like
a growing animal; its absorption ex-
ceeds its. waste. In a word, u planet
is not yet a full grown earth; it is mere
" an "earthling."

Tho Building of the Pacific Railroad
on tho Plains.

on tho Plains.
There has been nothing in all the his
tory of civilization to match the rapid
construction Of the Pacific Railroad from
the Missouri river to the Rocky Noun
tains this year. We give some details,
from the Chicago Tribune
The first forty miles of track were not
laid until January, 1866, and it was in
deed the middle Of April before track
LAYING commenced in earnest. From
that time the work has gone on with
unexampled rapidity. 1t was literally d
race against time, and time has been
beaten. Two hundred and ten miles OF
track have been laid in one hundred
consecutive days, excepting Sundays.
During that time the company have
erected all their necessary buildings, in
the most substantial and perfect style,
at the eastern terminus, Omaha. Some
idea of the extent of these shops may be
CLEANED from the fact that they are now
turning out here one complete car per
diem. On the building of the road, the
working force, at times equal to $4,000
men, has been employed. Nine steam
saw-mills have been put up by the COM
pany, and, with a dozen others, kept
steadily running for work on the road.
Two steamboats, have been bought, and
several others constantly chartered by
the company, and a very army of men
on the lines of transportation have had
the duty all the while Of seeing that the
material shipped for the road should De
hurried along. The actual amount paid
in freights on iron alone, during the
last year, was $1,000, 900, and as a sim
gle item, showing tho enormous cost,
much of the iron cost forty-six dollars
per ton for transportation from the place
of purchase to Omaha.
There arc already twenty-one loco
motives on the line, manufactured at
Schenectady, New York; Patterson,
New Jersey Lancaster, Pennsylvania +;
and Boston, Massachusetts, ; also about
two hundred cars Of all kinds. 1t cost
from $500 to $1,000 to get each of the
locomotives up from St.. Joseph to
Omaha, q distance of two hundred and
TWENTY-FIVE miles; $3.50 to $l75 each
for bringing up platform cars, and as
for the passenger cars, the company
had themselves to buy a boat, the Meta
mora, for their transportation, the
river furnishing nothing which could
be used for the purpose.
For sixty miles down and one hum
dred and fifty up the Missouri river
from Omaha, all the force which could
be obtained has been steadily at work
all this year in getting u ties, and
now great numbers are being obtained
three hundred miles west Of Omaha.
Those from this last source are all OF
cedar, and excellent and durable ma
terial, and finding them near the line
will be a great advantage to the build.
ers of the road. The average cost OF
ties has been $l26 to $3.50 each. To-
day the road is 27l miles west of Omaha.
1t is graded and ready for track laying
100 miles further. The rail is going
down at the rate of a mile and three.
quarters to two miles per diem, and
only about $50 miles further, at most,
will bring them to the base Of the Rocky
Mountains.

No satisfactory conclusion has yet been

attempt to sift the question here, though
have an idea that the excess to which party
with the matter. As with other journals,
so with that of a humorous character, the
political ingredient is one that cannot be left
out. Next, it would be impossible for paper
to take middle bearing; and if IL becomes
partisan, it has, of course, battalions of foes
to contend against. The necessary wit and
humor for comic journalism must exist some
ichere amid the large and mixed communities
of the country, but they have not yet been
developed by encouragement and culture,
though, like the recreant meteors that failed
to come to time in November last, they may
yet make their appearance in the literary
