A New De,ulphurIzlns Process.

An Eastern correspondent ofthc Sac
ramonto Union says Within tho last
week experiments have been made at
South Boston with q new d~esulphur-
izing agent, which. it is claimed, is
going to work q revolution in gold min
ing. | am no in n position to speak
authoritntively Of this new discovery,
but II gentleman experienced in mining
processes assures me that its perform
ance in the laboratory has been perfectly
satisfactory; how it will work in practi-
cal mining on a large scale romans to
be seen. Il is called tho Stevens
ux"-ramcd for the gentleman, Col.
@. G. Stevens of Now York, who FIRST
brought it into public notice; Professor
HAYES, tho State Assayer, describes it
as follows: at Is u residue remaining
after tho extraction of sodium from the
mineral c~rystalite, aud consists OF fiuo-
ride of caccum and aluminium, with
some caustic and somo carbonate Of
lime, in varying proportions, little silica
and oxide OF iron. The huxiug power
Is ~dependent on the fluoridss present,
aud is generally aided by the addition
Of II chloride, such ns common salt, in
mixture with it," An experiment with
this lux was mdde n few days ngo on
ore from the Acworth gold mine in
Georgia, from which, by common pro-
cess, no more than S22 per ton has ever
been realized. Two thousand five hum
dred pounds of this ore, with tho flux.
wero put into the furnace on Thursday;
the fires were extinguishcd Friday night,
md on Saturday at 10 A. ~. the gold
was taken out. The FIRST /" find was
a nugget weighing 1875 pennyweightsi
then one weighing 126 pcnnywcights
found; then two Of 80 ponnyweights
I grains, and 10 pennyweights 5 grains,
respectively; so that the total amount
of gold obtained from $500 pounds Of
ore was 10 ounces IL pcnnyweights,
worth $3.50 So, or S43l per ton Of ore.
This result has created great excitement
among holders Of and spectators in
gold mining stocks, and shares in these
hitherto unprofiitsble corporations have
been in demand. Colonel Stevens has
secured by contract all the material,
which now bears his name, agreeing to
pay $780, 900 per year for it for 90 years.
The first experiment he made with the
hux was on some ore, the Mint assay Of
which was $500 pcr ton. From this,
BY using the fux, he obtained Sl,40O
pei ton in repeated trials.

A Mosaic DIFFICULTY. There has
been n very serious complication at Or
leaus lately. Public utility has de-.
manded the removal Of certain earth
wherein lie defunct Israelites. The
rabbi sternly declines to allow tho re-
moyal to take place; he says it is
against the Mosaic law; he tells the
municipal authorities that they do not
think what confusion they may cause
an Jour du jiugement. They promise, In
replye TO take the utmost care, and to
place the bones again in the ground in
proper order. The rabbi answers that
il cannot DO done; their utmost care
would not be sufficient; they must in-
fallibly create des disputes du Jour ,n-
preme. If any bones should then DO
wanting, how, he argues, eonpietsr Ia
resurrection? Tho. municipal authors
ties reply that the difficulty is conceiva-
bio il amy Of the largo bones prove to be
wanting, but against that tho ordinary
care will guard; rs for the smaller bones,
they cannot suppose that much incon-
y%cnience would result from n or two
of them being missing. Even while
men are nlive they suggest that some Of
them have 10 use false teeth, and TINT
way out of the difficulty would always
DO available. Tho rabbi remains firm,
and the affair u not arranged when
the last account left Orleans.

ANOTHER MuRDER.-From the Sacra-
mcnto Union of yesterday we clip the
following particulars Of u murder which
is remarkable for apparent deliberate
ness, and furnishes n startling instance
Of the recklessness Of human life that is
becoming frightfulfy characteristic Of
Pacific coast society:
At about 8 o'clock last evening a man
named William Shoemaker was shot and
mortally wounded, at Second and h streets,
BY a man named A. B. COPYRIGHT. The par.
ties were both sporting men, and have had
considerable trouble recently. Yesterday at.
tcrnoon COPYRIGHT had been drinking and
repeatedly threatened TO kill Shoemaker.
Just before the tragedy occurred, COPYRIGHT
asked Harry Holmes, while on the cast side
Of Second street, north Of X, to call Shoe
maker, as he intended to kill him. Holmes
Yebuked him, and told him to go home and
90 to bed. Shoemaker seems to have been
close at hand, He walked down tho side
walk to h street and crossed Second to the
Bank Exchange. He there passed a few
words with George Paylor.. Tho W o stood
in front OF the cigar stand, within two feel OF
each other-Shoemaker with his back to-
ward X street. COPYRIGHT had walked de-
sidewalk said, "Hallo, Taylor" and "You
s-ofa b-h! would you draw \ pistol on
me J" As tho last words were uttered he
fred, The bullet struck Shoemaker on the
len temple, in the edge of tho hair, and
passed downward and backward through the
brain. From the course taken by the bullet
Il is probable that Shoemaker lodged his
head to avoid the shot. The wounded man
fell instantly, exclaiming, go, my God!'
COPYRIGHT was instantly seized BY Z. F.
BOYLE, II. Holmes and G.. Taylor and taken
10 the station-housc. Shoemaker was re.
moved to 4 room on the cast side OF Second
street, at the corner Of the alley near the
telegraph office. DIR. Cluncss soon arrived
and pronounced tho wound fatal in charac-
ter. Shoemaker died a few minutes before
10 o'clock. When COPYRIGHT was taken to
the station-housc he was found to have in
his possession u revolver, q Dcrringer pistol
and q policcman's mace. The two men arc
said to have been connected together in
gaming operations. COPYRIGHT is 4 married
man, and Shoemaker was not. COPYRIGHT
and his wife boarded formerly at the Elmer
House. Shoemaker supplied them with the
means to rent and furnish a house near
Eighth and NJ streets. It appears that
COPYRIGHT became jealous Of Shoemaker
In addition to this fact, Courtright had sew.
eral Quarrels, with Shoemaker over their
games. When the deceased was searched
Re was also found to have a pistol on his
person. COPYRIGHT has been 4 resident o.
lone Valley = number Of years. He is said
to have been OF q quarrellome disposition
when under the influence Of liquor. HI
c,me IN this city To reside about nine month";
q o. tho way 10 the station house he ex'
pressed q desire to see his wife; saidhe knew
10 must be hung, etc. Mrs. COPYRIGHT wa,
sent for and soon arrived. The pistol used
by COPYRIGHT was a 6ye-barrclcd Colts 70

Confossion Of O'Farrcll, the Assaasln Of
prlnce Alfred.

Dates from Sydney to March Both state
that O'Farrell has made tho following
confession since his committal:
lie stated that he intended to have
shot ut tho Prince n second timo rs he
lay OH tho ground and then TO have shot
himself, but was prevented by tho move
ment of Sir William Manning. More
over, that he had q written instrument,
received from the directors of the Fcnian
movement ut homo, directing tho oxecn-
ton of the Prince, and that each OF
ten persons entered into o solemn en-
gagement to shoot him, in tho event Of
the lot falling to him.
Lots were drawn by q boy, Ia the
presence of tho ten men. 1t fell to
Ills, O'Farrell's, lot to execute the
Prince. This took place about two
months ago. He said he regretted that
il had fallon to his lot to kill the Prince;
but killing was not regarded in the light
of assassination, but in the same way
as they regarded the execution of the
throo Irishmon at Manchester.
O'Farrell added that the general de-
sign of tho Fenian organization was to
strike terror into tho English people or
a~ristocracy, believing that to be tho
most effectusl mode Of bringing about
the independence Of Ireland.
The prisoner went on to state that no
intended to have shot tho Prince on the
occasion Of the public landing, had a
good opportunity Of doing so presented
itsolf. Ho had procured a gun for that
| purpose, and hired a which COM
mauded q view Of tho procession. He
was deferred from carrying out his in
tcntion on that occasion, IS there was a
probability of the shot taking effect on
the Earl Of Belmoro, who was sitting
beside His Royal Highness. He aftor.
wards proposed to carry out his deadly
purpose at the Citizens Ball.
Ono of the ten men previously referred
to wished to accompany him for tho
purpose OF setting fro to the Pavilion
by means Of iniammable substances
which he had in his possession, but he
(O'Fsrrell) was unwilling to sacrifice so
many lives when his engagement re-
quired tho death of but onc. Subsc-
qucutly, he intended to have accom-
plished his design at the Fancy Dress
Ball, but for some aus was led to post
pons it to a more favorable opportunity.
