How charming 10 sounds to hear of Felix
seated at the piano, eXtemporizing one day in
his apartment at Rome when suddenly a
splendid contralto voice repeated a theme out
of his Fantasia His friends, too listened. IT,
was voice that had often met their ear in all
its melody; the young maid of the lnndlady
was in the habit of singing popular Italian airs
during her work. On that day, however
Mendessohn started up in surprise "She
sang my theme quite correctly" exclaimed he
They opened the window; she was seated on
the stairs singing, while packing all sorts of fruit
into y large basket. "Oh if could only once
hear her sing near" Call her in, then " "The
question is, will she come" The painters were
bolder than the musician, and after short and
playful negotiation, they persuaded her to come
into the room She was neither handsome nor
graceful, and rather shy, but said she was will
ing to sing her songs. They hurried her to the
piano, while the joyous companions grouped
themselves in n circle, and the rare contralto
voice rose before them like calm moon Mem
delssohn accompanied her eXtempore as she
sang. 1t must have been rich picture and
rich enjoyment. From that moment Mendelssohn
provided for the musical education of this girl
in the most self-sacrfcing manner, and the
simple maid of the Piazza d'Espagna became an
excellent singer. How often must she have re-
membered with deep gratitude the youthful
benefactor whose hand had led her out OF
obscurty into the bright warm light ! RenliRis-

INTERESTING DIsCovERIEs.-There seems
10 be 8 reasonable expectation Of the discovery
Df the site of the Garden of Eden, If we may
credit Sir Henry Rawlinson the distinguished
Assyran explorer, and President of the Royal
Asiatie Society. AT meeting of that Society,
held in London on the 3lst of May, at which
he was inaugurated. he made a speech, IN
which he expressed bis conviction that the
Babylonian writings and monuments now IN
the possession of the British Museum would
turn out to be intimately connected with the
earliest Biblical writings. and that, before
long, the whole of the early history given In
the Book of Genesis, from the time OF Abra-
ham, downwards, would be found existing 10
its original form among these primitive stone
records. He also announced that In a short
time he should submit to the Society evidences
that the name Garden Of Eedn" was the old
and universal name OF Babylon. he stated
that there were Babylonian documents which
gave an exact geographical description OF that
Paradise in which the opening scene OF hui
man history is laid answering precisely to the
topography and the geodesical particulars OF
Holy Writ. In them he has found the four
rivers, or rather the four branches Of 1.-THE river
which went out OF Eden 10 water the garden,
mentioned By the very same names, Pison,
Gihon, Hiddekel and Euphrates. He has
also met with accounts OF the Flood, and the
building Of the Tower Of Babel. which bear
with singular direetneS- and value upon the
Biblical narrative at those events II he
should realize all that he anticipates, he will
have given the world one of the most inter
rst,ug archaeological and antiquarian discovr-
res ever made.

gold and silver mining during the past year il
our States and Territories on the Pacific ana
along the ridges of the Rocky Mountains and con-
tguous spurs has been steady II not brilliant.
The decrease in the bulIion yield since 1868 due
solely to the falling OF Of placer mining, and pre-
septs no special feature of discouragement. Tue
disne grafton Of the quartz rock BY natural causes
and the disposition of the fne particles of gold in
the alluvium Of rivers is an extremely slow pro-
GEES and utterly inadequate to replace to amounts
which, since lS4S. have been annually extracted
from the golden sands Of our modern Pactoluses
Hence, from the very nature of things, placer
mines can only be shortlived, IL being simply
question of time how soon the accumulation of
centuries will be exhausted. In eur rich and ex.
tensive quartz veins We have, however, an almost
inexhaustible supply of the precious metals.
although their extraction requires the application
of considerable skill and capital. Various new
processes were tried during the year IN Nevada
and Colorado, but have been abandoned in favor
of the other and more effective method Of stamps,
greater attention too being paid to the grinding
Of the quartz after leaving the stamping mills, as
the finer the rock is pulverized the more complete
Is the safeguarding process. The bulk OF the
gold now produced lie from quartz mining,
and the percentage from this source may be ex
pected to increase year by year. In Idaho aud
Montana there have been the usual failures Of
mills from incompetent and dishonest MANAGE
ment; and Nevada has witnessed great falling
of in the rich Comstock lode, discovered In that
State in 1859. The deeper the mines penetrate In
the ven the poorer is the rock in silver, and the
lode manifesto every indication OF being worked
out. The new White Pine district, however,
promises to be an efficient setoff, and Is said to
have yielded during the past six months million
of dollars. The season in Idaho has been unusu'
ally dry. " lille California hes hed euperAouu-
dance 81 moisture, particularly in the southern
counties, where excessive rains have suspended
mining operations for half the year. The remote.
ness of Arizona. Montana and Idaho. involving
high prices of labor, provisions and transports-
ton of machinery, has necessarily delayed their
development; and to other local hindrances in the
first named Territory must be added the hostility
of the Indians. The yield Of California, on the
whole, remains substantially unchanged from that
Of the previous year. Hittel. well qualified to
Judge places her product for the year st s25 000-
0OO but less enthusiastic savans say it has not
ceeded $40 600, 600. The following is fair
summary of our aggregate yield Of bullion for
The New Orleans crescent. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1866-1869, 1869-02-11

In esncing at our probable product for 1869,
new element of production has to be taken into
account. The most casual observer cannot fail to
see that the great Pacific Railroad, now nearly
completed, is certain to exert marked influence
upon the States and Territories through which 1t
passes. By furnishing ready means Of access to
the mineral districts, diminishing the cost Of labor
and provisions. afordng facilities for the erection
of heavy and powerful machinery, and promoting
trade and commerce generally, it must greatly
stimulate mining operations all along its route.
The question of cheap unskled labor is likely,
too, to be further solved by the Introduction Of
Chinese. who are rapidly spreading inland from
the Pacific coast. F ~. ~ -. L...-
Much of the capital invested in gold and silver
mining In 1868 came from England and the Eas' fern
States. and there is no present probability Of the
stream being diverted into other chennels. The
number of stamps in operation everywhere
steadily increases, and with greater experience
in their management the per centsge OF losses
and failures will be annually reduced. Altogether,
the prospects of the year upon which we have
Just entered are very encouraging, and If we are
only fortunate enough to escape general financial
paralysis, our bullion yield for 1869 must consid.
eraby exceed that Of the past year.-IRoun
