III. Drain OF 70 Asia.

It is admitted by all eminent authors
who have written about the present sup.
ply of the precious metal, that 1t fur
exceeds the demand Of Christendom,
and its inevitable fall in value is re-
tarded only by exceptional and tempo
rary circumstances, the chief Of which
Is the remarkable stream Of silver pour
ing into Asia. The Hindoos and Chi
nese and japanese are industrious ana
very populous nations, which nave TO
import nearly all their gold and silver
from abroad, and their capacity to ao-
sorb those metals increases as their
value declines, and as their stock be.
comes greater their wages rise, and
they obtain the means to purchase more
foreign goods, and after q time they will
have as much coin proportionately to
their productive powers as the Christian
nations ; and then their imports Of mer-
chandise will nearly equal their exports,
and the importations Of the precious
metals will not be one-tenth Of the pres
ent figure.
Asia is called the "sink of silver by
Pliny, and 1t will continue to deserve
that name for IN uncertain period in the
future.
So long as we continue to consume so
much tea, silk, rice, and. other Asiatic
products, and so long rs they consume
so few of our products, so long we must
settle the difference by payment Of the
precious metals, and the precious metals

COMPLAIN OF THE LAw.-The Reese
River Rereiiie says that there is a gen.
eral complaint in that section of the
general apathy at Washington in fur.
nishiug patents to mines after the
papers have been sent on from the Laud
Office. The RereiHe should remember
that there is a good deal Of circumlo-
cution at headquarters, and a great deal
Of red tape to be measured. Mining
titles, we expect, are on a par in the
Land Office with other land titles-and
each has to take its turn in the order in
which it is filed. We believe it takes o
year or a year and a half, as a gen.
eral thing, to get a patent from Govern
ment.

STUPID REPoRrERs.-Thc local report
ers of the Virginia papers make up some
very stupid items sometimes-which
leads u W reporter to copy and full
inmate the same stuff. For instance,
" old smarty" Of one of the Virginia
papers the other day published an item
that the Crown Point mine had yielded
only S57, 900 for the mouth Of July.
Our " Spikeus" copied it. The truth
is, the Crown Point yielded almost tpict
that amount for July. Reporters, it
strikes US, had better not publish the
ballion yield Of the mines at all /; or il
they do, it would look better for their
newspapers, and the companies whose
business they pretend TO report, if they
ascertained the correct figures from re-
liable persons.

Or the various methods for manufac-
turing ice artiicially, the simplest con-
sists in placing a vessel containing water
under the receiver of an air-pump, and
exhausting the air. The water is
rapidly evaporated and the free vapor
absorbed by strong sulphuric acid, and
in about three minutes a decanter OF
water can be thus frozen.

CouSTRY EpIroR IN THE Circus Bust
NEss.-When the agent Of De Haven's
circus was on his way up the river, ad-
vertising the approach of the " big
show" he stopped at Prescott, Wis.,,
celebrated principally for being the
"local h%abitation" Of that inimitable
wit, Lutte Taylor. After viewirg the
prospects, he concluded II wouldn't pay
the company to give a performance
there, and was about to leave, when be
accidentally ran across friend Lutte,
who, hearing the decision arrived Mt,
took it as an insult to his Aourishing
village, and vehemently protested
against such a decision. The circus must
stop at Prescott. But his eloquence
was of no avail. Determined not to be
foiled in his attempt, he changed his
tactics.
"How-ow much do you ask for your
d-d-damn circus? LIN buy the whole
concern"
"What do you meanG' says the
agent.
all mean, ho-how much will you
take for the receipts Of the two perform
ances," answered Lutte.
The agent studied q moment, and said,
/" five hundred dollars"
"I-Ill take it," said Lutte, and the
bargain was completed.
It is hardly necessary to shy that
Lutte, from that moment was loud in his
praise of De Haven's circus. The coun-
try tributary to Prescott was flooded
with huge posters, and the people In
yitsd to come. They came, and the
enterprising proprietor of that valuable
family paper, the Prescott journal,
reaped his reward by clearing the snug
little sum of $500. We understand that
the family journal is for sale, as Lutte
thinks the show business pays better;
As a showist he is q success.-H. fa~
