How Gold Pens are Made.

as I" diamond points.'' The iridium
for. that purpose is found in small
grains in platinum slightly alloyed
with this latter metal. In this form
it is exceedingly hard. and we'll

pen maker. The gold for pens is
alloyed with silver to about sixteen
carate fineness, rolled with thin
strips: from which the blanks are
struck. The underside of the point

point is then ground on copper

ness by means of rollers especially
adapted te that purpose, and tenn

It is then trimmed around the edges

means of a thin copper wheel, fed
with fine emery, and saw extends

Discovery of Gold Mines in Africa.

A German traveller, named
Mauch, member of the Geographic
calSociety Gotha, has recently ar
rived at Natal from a journey of
exploration in the interior of Africa.
He reports having: discovered two
gold mines, one Of them of great
extent, situated about 800 miles
from Natal, in northwest direc-
ton. These mines are in a country
governed by two chiefs, who can
bring into the field 10000 warriors
between them. The country is very
healthy, and water is abundant.
The geological character of the coun-
try indicates an extraordinary
amount of auriferous wealth. There
are but few Of the Aborigines in the
neighborh0od of the mires. The
existence of small pits, about three
yards deep, throughout the region,
would seem to indicate, as DR.. Liv-
ingston has already said, that in
former times the Kafirs were ac-
quainted with the art of extracting
the precious metal. M. Mauch took
with him to Natal twenty mineral
ogical specimens. The ariferous ones
consisted of a light colored quartz,
containing several pieces Of gold,
and others contained iron and lead.
All the information given by this
traveller confirms the description of
the country in question, which: DR..
Livingston furnishes in. the first
edition Of his Travels. -=-.

The EXACT TRU1rH.-Two
young masons were buildinga brick
wall-the front wall of a high house.
One Of them, in placing a brick,
discovered that it was little thick
er on one side than on the other.
His companion advised him to
throw it out. eft will make your
wall untrue, Ben, said he.
Pooh!" answered. Ben, /" what
difference will such a trifie as that
make? You're too particular.''
My mother" replied his com
panion, taught me that truth is
TRUTH and ever SO little ar untruith
is lie, and a lie iSno trjf1e."
"Oh," said Ben, " that's all very
well but I am not lying, and have
no intention of doing so.''
"Eery true; but you make YOUR
wall tell a lie; and l have somewhere
read that lie in ones work, like
lie in his character. will show
itself sooner or later, and bring harm
if not ruin"
"I'u risk it, in this case" an
swered Ben; and he worked away,
lying more bricks, and carrying the
wall up higher, till the close OF the
day, when they quit work and went
home.
+, The next morning they went to
resnme their work, when, behold,
the lie had wrought out the result
of all lies? The wall, getting a little
slant from the untrue brick, had be-
come more and more untrne as it
got higher, and at last, in the night
had toppled over, obliging the ma
sons to do all their work over
again.
Just so with ever so little an un-
truth in your character-more and
more untrue, ifyou permit it to re-
main, till it brings sorrow and ruin.
Tell, act and live the exact truth
always.

The Oldest Wooden House.

line OlOeSC WOOUeu uOuS0 III Lll0
United States is in Dorchester, soon
to be part of Boston. It was built
in 1893, and is called the Minot
House, from the name of the first
owner. The house was occupied by
General Washington and his body
guard for season, during the Rev.
0lution. The house is two stories
high, and the outside has by no
means q bad look. Its frame is of
oak, either Irish or white, and the.
beams are as sound as ever; and like
wise the whole frame, with the ex
ception of the sills, is in good state
of preservation. The rooms are odd
ly shaped and awkwardly arranged. !.
The beams are in sight, and are fin
ished off and beaded, and the ceiling
is very low. Indeed, 1t is quite
worth while to visit this ancient
house. There IS a little romance
connected with it. During the early
years of Dorchester, the Indians
were very: troublesome. The Ne
ponset tribe made their headquar-
ters in the village now of that name,
and tile chiefs name was ChicataW-
but; hence the name of the street on
which the house stands. Mr., Minot
being absent one day, an Indian
came and tried to get admittance,
but the heroine wife refused, to admit
him knowing that it could be for no
good intent, and taking down her
husbands loaded gun, she fred at
him and wounded him severely, and

SUICIDE m SEVENTH STREET.

The densely crowded AeghbOrhOOd OF Seventh
street and avenue was, about five O'Clock last
evening, thrown into state OF intense excitement
by the discovery that remarkable suicide had been
committed in the house No. 2lS Seventh street. AS
the news spread the huge tenement houses poured
out their hundreds OF inmates all crowdng eagerly
to the house of horror and scene OF wild con-
fusion ensued in the street In front OF the building.
But the tidings had quickly reached the Eleventn
precinct station house, and Captain Walsh instantly
despatched sufficient police force TO protect Inc
house from the incursons OF the horror mongers.
When the police had restored order they entered

Nathan Konigsberg a Prussan, sixty years OF age,
the of the house and one or Its occupants had
cut his throat. The deed had been done In one OF
the basement rooms, and the officers proceeding
thither found full confirmation OF the story In the
CHASTITY sight which they encountered. Konissberg
lay stretched upon the floor with great pools OF
blood about him which had flowed from lrightlul
cash in the throat extending from ear TO ear The
hand still retained the razor which had been
used with such deadly effect that the windplpe
had been severed; but the Officers were astonished
to find that life was not extinct. Onicer waterman
hastily procured carriage, and the dying and IN
sensible man was placed In 1t and conveyed 10
Bellevue Hospital Upon the arrival OF the officer,
however, tine attending physician gave but one
glance at his bloody charge before he declared that
recovery was impossible.
Having removed the dying man, the officers en-
deavOred to ascertain the inducing cause Tor this
desperate assault by KOnigsberg upon his life. 1t
appeared that he had occupied the third hoor, and
from his son it learned that he had been dealer
In ewery in which calling he had amassed consdera-
BILE property. 1t appears that he had latterly become
the victim OF morbid fear that his property was
depreciating in value and that he was rapidly APP
preaching absolute restitution This fear, so far as
could be ascertained, was the product Of an unsuc
cessful negotiation with David Jones for the sale OF
the properly Konigsberg asking price which Jones
deemed to be prepOsterOus, and utterly refused to
give It, Notwithstanding the fact that he was ex-
ceedngly anxious to obtain It,
Up to late hour last evening the wounded man
was still alive but 1t considered that there was
no possibility that he would survive until morning.

Thieves Rob the Once of the American Ex-

PouGHKEEPsIE Dec. %, 1868.
There is considerable excitement in Peekskll over
several robberies and connagratlon there before
daylight this morning. At about halfpast two
A. M. the inmates Of o tenement house, known as
the City Hotel, were suddenly aroused from their
sleep by sense OF sufrocation Emerging from
their beds hastily they ascertained that the house
was on fire. the rooms already being filed with dense
volumes of Hurriedy they to the street. by
which time the fire engines had arrived but scarcity
OF water prevented the fremen from checking the
progress OF the flames before the City Hotel and a
dwelling next to 1t were entirely consumed. After
the excitement the destruction OF the building
had somewhat subsidized, an investigation took place
which resulted in To- finding Of the safe Of the Anne
ncan Express Company In the ruins, with the door
blown OF. The Express Company had an office
under the City Hotel, and 1t Is supposed that bur-
glars entered the building for plumber. After blow
ing open the safe with powder they took therefrom
g. 200 in money, $500 OF which belonged to the agent
1t IL thought that the building was then fired in
order to draw people from their houses when the
burglars made other raids, robbing several dwellings
in the neighborhood. BY this fire. undoubtedly all
the work OF burglars, ten families have been de-
prived OF home and oil have lost everything they
possessed There is no clue whatever to the bur-
glars.
