Gold Mine in Kentucky History of the
Discovery.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal, July 10.
The town of Lagrange, in Oldham
County, thirty miles from this city, was all
agog yesterday, over the news that gold
had been discovered about four miles from
that place. IN the suburbs of the village of
Ballardsville. Late in the afternoon two
welLknown and reliable gentlemen arrived
IN this city, bringing this important news
to the owner Of the farm, and confirming
the report It seems that about a year ago
Mr.. H. E. Neal, Of this city, bought piece
Of land containing fifty acres, in the 7icin-
lty OF Bailardsville paying for the same
the sum of $4,000 Subsequently aban-
doning the scheme which induced him
to make the purchase, Mr.. Neal offered it
for sale at the cost price, and it has been
on the market for some time. Last spring
parties came to him for permission to
quarry rock in woodland portion of this
track. Permission was granted and the
rock, large quantities of which were re-
moved, was used in constructing turnpike
in the vicinity. The workmen had several
times remarked on an unusual vein of vel
lowish matter that was found in the rock.
but the thought that it was ANYTHING of
value never entered their minds. Very re-
Gently, however, this was examined care
fully by scientific person, and found TO

ago, and it seems the workmen have
been endeavoring to keep the secret
within their own little circle But
it leaked out bit by bit, till present
ly tnenews wentfying like wildire through
the neighborhood and county that rich
gold mine had been discovered il their
very midst. AS consequence the people
focked to the vicinity in muItitudes. A
field of oats which occupied part of the
farm, but which was rented and cultivated
by Col. John F1ble, was overrun by the
mad multitude and totally destroyed In
some parts of it they are now digging, and
the field that the other day was one dense
| cloud of waving grain, is now jagged and
SCARED tract of land, full of deep holes and
pitfalls. Mr.. Neal bought this piece of land

he and Maj. Wright, of the firm of Wright

fortune. Mr.. Neal viii go to Oldham Co.

My tongue was tied:
He found last words to say:
My s0bs replied;

Dear love, good nghtt"

MANY of the most brilliant triunphs Of
modern chemistry have been won in the
synthesis of organic products, the results
obtained by scientific methods equahng,
and sometimes surprising those OF natural
processes. One of the most recent Of these
discoveries is an artif clal method OF pro-
ducing alizarine, the principal coloring sub.
stance hitherto extracted from madder.
The fertile meadows of the Netherlands,
hitherto so largely devoted to raising mad
der, may now be better used in raising
food; the madder dyes can all be obtained
by special treatment of anthracene, itself d
new product, brought to light from that
mine of discoveries, the dlstillation of Goa
for Illuminating gas. The United States is
the largest consumer of madder dyes. Il
is also reported that NJ. Maumene is in 8
fair way to achieve similar success with in.

results obtained in treating anil1ne with
chloral.

In 1887, he received his first wound on the

officer. Until 1849 Canrobert was en-
gagged IN the most desperate engagements
of the Algerian campaigns, and on the ac-
cesslon of Prince Napoleon to power, he
attached himself to his fortunes. He COM
manded the French forces in the Crimea
for some time, and shared in all the earlier
battles fought during the operations against

Bazaine's Retreat from Metz
Not Confirmed.
FRANCE WILL NOT ACCEPT MEDI.
ALTON OF NEUTRALPOWERS.

LONDON, August 24.-Telegrams from
Paris announce that grave disturbance
occurred yesterday in the Corps Legisla-
tiff. the sessions of which were attended
with vehement denunciations, tumult,
and rancorous debate. The occasion of
the emeute was the reading of the prop
osition of NJ. Kirater relative to the
formation of the Committee Of Defense.
The greatest uproar and confusion were
provoked by the presentation of the pro-
posal. Immediately deputies on both
sides of the chamber arose and yehe-
mently commenced stating their views
and dislikes. The members of the left
persisted in accusing the members of the
majority with having caused the war by
their aggravating course in sustaining
the ministry in the Hohenzollern matter
and by other needless acts of excitement,
and the members of the majority denied
the accusation of provoking the conflict
The entire chamber was in fearful state
of disorder, when the President arose
and terminated the session. The sitting
was ended unanimously, and the report
ers were ordered to leave.
Paris dispatches announce no confr-
nation of the report Of Bazaine's re-
treat from Metz. kilograms received
from Paris declare Metz completely iso-
lated and that the Prussians have de-
stroyed communication between Thion-
vile on the East, and Montmedy on the
West, beside destroying the road be-
tween Thionville and Metz, thus render
ing French retreat impossible. 1t is
also asserted that Mcmahon is in daily
communication with Bazaine.
PARIS, August 24.-spbscriptions to
the entire amount of the required ma
tional loan have been received.
The Journal 0fiiciel ofto-day contains
an imperial decree, adding to the COM
mittee of defense, as already constituted,
the names of Deputies Theirs, Talhonet,
Doupes and Delorme, and Senators Mel
linet and Behie, as representatives of the
Legislative body and the oenate.
The Presse is of the opinion that no
delegation is likely to succeed, unless
Napoleon takes the initiative. France
has intimated that she will not accept
the mediation Of neutral powers, whilst
Prussians occupy French territory.
Several informal conferences have
been held among diplomatists,
but no mention of peace overtures.
All that is known is that Bismarck sent
information by Prince La Tour d Au-
yergne stating that Prussia would only
conclude peace on basis which would
render French revenge impossible.
Admiral Ringault de Gernmelli, Min
lister Of Marine, was recently in the Corps
Legislatif, and so were other Govern
ment officials. He intimated, however,
that good news is shortly expected from
the feet,

Annual Meeting of the Stoekhold-
ers of the Memphis ana Charies-
TON Railroad.

We attended the annual meeting OF
the stockholders of the Memphis and
Charleston Railroad, at the Chamber OF
Commerce, this morning. Gen. Geo. A.
Gordon, Of Huntsville, presided. The
organization, like all assemblages Of the
kind, was perfected through committee
of credentials, only in this instance
those who were to participate in the
transactions were the representatives OF
stock, and to properly register that occu-
pied the morning hour There was con-
siderable hand-shaking among the stock
holders, who have probably not seen
each other since their last annual meet
ing; and doubtless there was much graf
ulation that they were permitted to be
there. The meeting will probably have
before it several propositions for branch
roads that cannot but inure to the Dene-
fit of the trunk line. These will be emu
merated when acted on, and that some
of them will be adopted there can be
little doubt. 1t was named in some of
the numerous conversations that Col.
Sam Tate was not averse, under certain
circumstances, to return to this road,
whose affairs he conducted so suspicious
ly and theoretically. This may be a
mere wish, expressed without serious
basis for expectation, and is given only
as one of the suggestions that occur
when old friends meet. 1t is thought
that the old officers will be reelected
without serious opposition, and such
branch roads determined on as promise
to be lucrative and of most advantage
to the earnings of the road.
