DR.. Hoerner, in his able report TO Col.
Wick's says:
There are several ways in which this
GRE may be utilized. The percentage
Ct oxide OF iron 1929 ia equivalent IN
the present combination, to 1919 OF iron.
The ore could, therefore, be worked TO
advantage for ius percentage OF metal, as
are many in Europe not 90 rich. Ten
nessee, however, contains 80 many rich
deposits that this would hardly pay.
II 8 polishing p0SDdeT, in large quanti-
ties, were merchantable, this ore, simply
reduced to O powder, could be used IN
that way, for 1t is equal in this respect
70 the artificial oxide OF iron, called
cQput n1OrtUoDI, or jeUeteT's rouge. Ii
could, however, be used only Il very
limited quantities in this form.
But the great use to which the mine
raj could be turned is as q pigment. By
simply roasting the crude ore, the minute
shining spiculGe OF ore ere all reduced to
the same color, and the Jumps and masses
become extremely fr1abie, requiring very
little iorcs to crush them TO an impalp-
able powder Of q dull red color. The
oxide OF iron and silica give it asPlendid
body for covering, and Dy the admixture
OF whiting or clay, it can De reduced TO
any shade of brown or red.
There is no telling the value of this
discovery, and we hope that Col. Wicks,
who has SO far shown himself q man OF
enterprise and advanced views, will lose
no time In putting it TO service. DR.. Hoer'
ner, who made the examination and an
sIysis, is q finished chemist, and we IN
dsrssand has several other specimens o.
esis, minerals, etc, under examination.
and is thus actively engaged in develop
iDg the mineral Of T~ennessea
. Such s man is q valuable acquisition tC
any community.

MORE ~DEvILTRY Y.
seizure of The Tug xe1iie james.

The Arkansas tyrant, Clayton, con-
tinues TO play his hsnd heavily. We
learn by dispatches from DevslPs Bluff,
Yesterday, that he caused the tug Nettio
Jones, lying st that point, to bs " tied
W - yesterday morning, and all the cfi-
Gers and crew to be placed under arrest,
Capt. John Ford, we understand, made
his escape, but the balance are held 10
close confinement. In order to prevent
auy chance Of the tug being moved the
cylinder heads have been removed. The
Nettie Jones ia the vessel, it viii be re-
membered, that, some months ago, was
seized by a band Of disguised men and
used to follow the Hesper, laden with
the arms which were destroyed. She Is
owned in this city by Brown d Jones.
We await further developments with in
tsrest, as there are some curious points
Of law involved in this s~eigure-pointE
that never rose before in this country,
and perhaps never viii rise again.

Another Development of Vast

Some weeks ego Col. NJ. J.. Weeks,
President Of the Memphis sad Charles.
ton Railroad Company, keenly alive to
eli the interests of his road, sent to DR..
Theodore HoeTnero OF this city for analy-
els several specimens OF q reddish sub
stance, found In Jumps and mass, IN vast
Quantities along the line OF the road.
This substance gives of freely to the
touch s beautiful deep red pigment, and
is occurred TO Col. Wicks that it could be
utilized as 8 mineral paint.
DR.. HOernsr Immediately instituted q
series Of experiments with this end in
view chiefly, and the result was the de-
veIoprsnt Of the fact that the sub
stance was an argillacsous iron ore,
most valuable not only for hat purpose,
tut for several Others.

ARSENIC EATERS IN AUSTRIA AND HUNGA
sY.-The Meme Freie Presse, Of Vienna, re-
lates stories about whole colonies OF arsenic
eaters living in Francis Joseph dominion;
besides which, the feeding al horses with arse
mic IL q very common practice both IN Austria
and Hungary.
An arseuiciel horse, As Is We'll known TO
horse-d ,alers. has an appearance otGreat vital
ATTY and strength; it has q good appetite, Its
skin is smooth and fine; irOth flows from its
mouth In abundance, while Its eyes are slow
iug and fiery. The arsenic Is given to 1t either
an the shape OF powder streYa among me nay
or it is tied in small linen bag 10 the on. ne
buyer Of such horse is liable to be greatly &c
ceived In his bargain; and II the poison be not
piven 70 the animal as before, tho most care
ful grooming and nutritious keeping cannot
prevent il from becoming emaclated' Dr;
levy saws that in Syria and Bohemia, and
parts OF the Ricsenge, there are families 10
which from time immemorial the habit OF arse
mic eating has been transmitted from father
10 son. The people arc always very silent about
their mania, and only by mere accident can
one become acquainted with their perverted
appetite. Like the horses, the arsenic eaters
are strong and healthy looking having finely
blended delicate skin, which Is free from every
