NEW A~XALGANAToR. - Mr.. Andrew
Hunter has invented a new machine for
saving gold, called the Eureka Rubber
and Am%algamator. 1t seems to answer
the purpose for which it is intended,
and marks another step forward in the
improvement Of machinery for saving
gold extracted from quartz. This ma
chine differs from the ordinary amalga-
mator. 1t has an oscillating movement,
the bottom having strips of wood and
iron alternately on end. The rubbers
are made of wood, covered with copper
plates and shod with iron. The sides Of
the machine are lined with copper. Tho
pulp passes from the machine on to a
table covered with copper plate, with an
oscillating motion. The machine and
table have at least 80 square feet Of cop
per plate, with 60 movements to the
minute The power to run a machine is
about a fourth of a horse power. The
wear of iron is about l-l6th of an inch
a month on the shoes. Mr.. VIM. Watt,
Of Grass Valley, writes as follows con-
corning the new A~malgamator after a
trial Of two weeks Of your Eureka rub
Der and amalgamator we have cleaned
up, and found it has saved ~scventy-fve
cents per ton over and above what we
got from the copper plates of the other
batteries ; we run through it all the
pulp that passed over the blankets from
Eve stamps this result is from rock that
pays forty dollars per ton. am highly
pleased with it, and, l think it is the
best machine after blankets or plates |
ever saw. It reduces the coarse par
ticles of sand and makes the pulp more
uniform in size, and it requires very lit
tie power to drive it. But the best
recommendation / can give it is that l
want four more. Will you please to go
to the Vulcan Foundry and order them.

In the Senate, the other day, when
the motion for Stationery supply was
before it, Senator Mason said he desired
to purchase his own stationery, and as
many papers as the money appropriated
would permit. He desired to subscribe
to every paper in the State. He said he
wanted the Enterprise, though it had
been discarded from the Assembly, and
q ,aloou-keeper had told him that it
was too obscene to be allowed in his
saloon. He himself considered it unfit
to be allowed in any family circle under
this Government, but the Senate could
probably stand it, as a body upon whom
devolved, in part, the duty Of framing
the criminal code.

The EFFICACY OF PRAYER.-A Dutch
man was in our Office yesterday, who
related to us one Of the most remarka-
BILE instances of the power of prayer on
record. In 1862 he enlisted in the army.
Just prior to his departure, he and his
frau knelt down and offered up a fervent
prayer that when he returned, he might
ind his wife and four children alive and
we'll. He was discharged in Texas
made his way to California, and finally
returned overland, arriving here day be-
fore yesterday. His prayers were more
than answered. For not only did he
find thsifour children well and hearty,
but he also found himself congratulated
by his wife Oh having tro more. The
~straugest part of the affair he considers
to lie in the fact that he had never even
uritten to his wife. Hereafter he says
when a man is departing for q long jour
ney, let him never omit to pray.-Led-
venworh Commercial.

review of the desire of a few ofiee-hold-

cludes as follows:
eve are seeking by every means In
our power, by every favorable represen-
tation and just consideration, to induce
immigration /; and immigration is found
ed on the investment Of capital in our
mines and their prosperity and 1t is
Wen known by all statisticians that
those States are settled most rapidly
whose taxation is the least and most
equitable SO, therefore, we may look
IN vain for increased population if we
ourthen our great dependence with tax

cal hrst, then tax everything before the
miners, and let them 90 entirely free.

CHRISTIANITY AND MAHoxXrDAsIsN.-
The cable has made the important an
nouncement that the Sultan of Turkey
is about to grant his Christian subjects
equal political privileges with those OF
the Mahommedsn religion. This is an
unprecedented concession, and is doubt
less occasioned By the fear Of future dis
content and revolution, similar to that
now existing in Crete. 1t has always
been deemed humiliating BY the Moslems
to yield anything to Christians, except
by compulsion. They are avowedly an
tagonistic to all who do no believe in
the doctrines of Mahommed, and con-
slider it their duty to prosecute and OPP
press them. This action Of the Turkish
Governmen. is, therefore, evidently a
matter of policy. The number Of
Christians in Turkey is estimated at
about ten millions, and though in Eu-
ropean Turkey the Mahommedans are in
q minority, they have long ruled the
country.

tho gentleman from Storey be allowed
to withdraw his plea Of guilty, if he
desires to do so." Mr.. Julien renewed
his motion to clear the House of all out
side parties-all except those entitled
to seats upon the floor. The motion
was "put" and carried. when Mr.. Seeley
rose and said: "Mr. Speaker" The
Chair said: "The gentleman from Sto-
rey, Mr.. Seeley." "Mr. Speaker" said
Mr.. Seeley, "if this motion is particu-
larly addressed to me and the gentleman
on my left, Judge Baldwin, ifit is made
expressly for. our benefit, desire to say
that we did not voluntarily and offici-
ously and impertinently obtrude our
selves upon the floor of this House; but,
sir, VIC were invited here by a member,
who under the rules has a right to e.
tend such invitation. ! believe know
what parliamentary custom in regard to
this matter is" The Chair, inter-
r~upting, said: "The Chair begs leave to
say to the gentleman from Storey, Mr..
Seeley, that it was not the intention OF
the House to cast any reflection upon
his conduct or that Of Judge Baldwin,
in coming inside the bar, and taking
seats, at the request of a member
"Well," continued Mr.. Seeley, al only
desired to state under what circum-
stances we came here. | know men,
bers have a right to ask gentlemen, not
members, to a seat inside the bar, and
we had a right here, under such an in
yitation." "The gentleman is correct"
said the Chair; che had Il perfect right
here, under the circumstances, and the
Chair can assure the gentlemen [Seeley
and Baldwin, that no dIsrespect what
ever was intended toward them, by the
motion just made" Then the Assembly
was cleared of all but members; not
even allowing Senators to remain. Our
informants say that "further proceed
ings" were kept up for an hour after
the clearing /; during which the charge
was read by the Speaker not more than
seventy times-Lissack replying, al did
not print it," and, finally, under legal
privilege, "Not guilty" The proceed
ing" was postponed until to-day at IL
o'clock. 1t is said that Lissak is sure
to be expelled, as he would have been,
probably, on yesterday, but for Ferg's
illimitable reiterations. Others say,
Lissak will not be even censured.
DR.. Mason met Ferg. in the Senate
Chamber, after tho Assembly adjourned
and said: "Ferg., | have heard it pub
licly intimated that you're the id fool
iu the country; now, l want to privately
tell you, that from the proceedings Of
this afternoon, I'm satisfied the state
ment is true" The Doctor says Ferg.
Immediately apologized to him.

OLD SHASKER SSARLEYow, publisher
of the Eastern Stop, is bumming round
Carson, as n of His Intelligency's
runners. He is fierce, furious and fiery
for the passage of the "Aet to make
Storey county fill the State treasury to

Geller, of washoe, with his lobby talk.
We truly pity the Senator for the in

probably, in no quality of meanness re-
ouired for the errands on which he is
dispatched BY His Intelligcucy. Snarley

a graduate, either. He was discharged,
because the sight of him made the other
lepers sick. There is a venerable man
in Virginia who knew Old Shanker in
one Of the Western States, fifty years
ago. He says that Suarley looks pre-
cisely now as he did then. He says that
when he was a boy, he recollects that
the farmers round about employed Snar-
ley, for a while, as a scare-crow. Old
Shanker used to esrn from ten to fifteen
cents a day, standing or walking in a
ten acre corn lot. But, sui venerable
informant and long acquaintance tells
us, Snsrlsy loon lost this kind of ''job,"
and had to bum for a living altogether.
