Observation-Disclosures Lead Ore
Its Uses, &c.

The science Of mineralogy is of a.
great importance as any other matter
| that fills our columns. Each recurring
vealment and wonderful discoveries O.
rich and rare minerals that Mother Ma
ture has kept for ages, long concealed
locked in her secret mines. The min
eral resources of the United States are
of unlimited extent. Her coal, iron
copper, gold, silver, zinc, and variety
of minor character, though none the
less in interest, value and use in manu-
factures, trade Sand commerce., &c.
Plumbago, heretofore, was not found in
such quantity as to justify it's use in any
way than in the manufacture of black
lead pencils and crayons. 1t is COM
posed of carbon and iron say SO of the
former and a of the latter. 1t cannot
be doubted that it is of more ancient
carboniferous formation than the coal,
for it not only lies lower than the coal,
but it has become crystalized into its
present form by intense heat.
A few miles from the ruins of the old
Fort Ticonderoga, of Revolutionary his
tory, mine of this valuable ore&was
found, and fifty years ago specimens
were gathered by the original owner for
stove-polish. Chemical experiments
have conclusively demonstrated that it
can be applied to a variety of uses. That
mine from which this plumbago is ex-
tracted-specimens of which have be-
fore me, almost in its pure state, and in
terspersed through masses of Opaque
and pellucid quartz-is in the side of a
mountain southwest of Ticonderoga,
where number of shafts have been
sunk. The veins of this ore run in al
most every direction, varying from an
inch to ten feet in thickness. 1t is mex
haustible, as new deposits are constantly
being developed. 1t is now extensively
used for stove polish, facings, all kinds
of metals, pencils and crayons, electro
tipping, piano actions, and for lubricat-
ing all kinds of machinery, when freed
entirely from all impurities.
1t has such a wonderfully greasy char
acter that when mixed with oil, it is
used for cooling hot journals, and for
lubricating purposes its value has not
been commensurately estimated. 1t is
also extensively used without oil in the
blowing cylinders of blast furnaces.
This mineral is found associated with
quartz, felspar, granite and traces OF
iron. | have learned that the American
Graphite Company in 1864 erected a
mill for the purpose of separating the
plumbago from its impurities, or sub
stances foreign to its character, and that
the machinery of this mill is SO perfect
that the graphite or plumbago in its
purity is absolute.
In the published report of the mineral
resources of the United States of 1868,
very extensive mine of similar char
acter to the above has been discovered
in Tuolumne county, California, which
has proved very productive. Thus we
find that our country, heretofore sup
piled from Europe, finds the same and
richer material at home.

Horrible Murder.

A shocking murder is reported at
Elmwood formerly Cottage Hill, in Du
Page county, ILL.,, fifteen miles out on
the Northwestern Railway. James
Snow and his wife Fannie, couple aged
near fifty years, have lived in Elmwood
some time, the latter having, of late,
been affected by insanity, brought on by
religious fanaticism.. In some of her
frantic moods she has attempted vio-
lence toward her husband, a dutiful and
tender spouse, according to all accounts.
Last summer she was sent away for
treatment, and returned recently much
improved, it was thought. This week,
however, she commenced raving again,
and on Wednesday night Mr.. Snow
couched himself on a lounge, in room
adjoining hers, to be near and ready
in an emergency. About II o'clock, as
appears from facts elected at the in
quest, she arose stealthily, and approach
ing her sleeping husband, beat in his
skull-with what weapon is not known.
The noise walked his son, man 25 years
old, who was sleeping upstairs. He
came down to his fathers room to learn
the cause of the disturbance, and met
his mother, who said to him, | have
done the deed" and used other myste-
rious expressions which were furnished
a terrible solution on the discovery of
the dead body of her husband. The
jury returned a verdict of death by the
hand of Fannie Snow, insane, and in
pursuance thereto she has been placed
in confinement and will be taken to a
public asylum.

A Marriage Broken Off.
(From the New York Sum-

In the Methodist Episcopal church of
Hudson City, on Sunday night, one
John Lock stepped forward, and, inter-
rupting the exercises, requested the
minister to perform the marriage SER
vice. The reverend gentleman requested
him to wait until the dismissal of the
congregation. When the benediction
had been pronounced and the people
were about to take their departure, the
minister announced that marriage GER
emony was about to be performed and
invited those who wished to remain.
The congregation was again seated, and
the bellies were in futter, eager to OBJ
tain view of the happy couple and
take an inventory of the brides toilet.
The couple were requested to step
forward to the altar, and Jack Lock
and his intended bride, Miss Kate Rock,
accompanied by John Crosby alias Linn
by Crosby, and Frank McPhillips alias
Tippy, as groomsmen, promptly walked
friend up to the altar.
Jack evidently felt a little nervous-or
it might be that he was out late the
night beforehand required the support
of the two groomsmen, and Limpy and
Tippy were only too happy to serve their
and pal.
Minister-Do you take this woman to
be your lawful welded wife?
Jack with much promptness and
force Yes.
Minister-Do you take this man'to be
your husband
Miss Kate with saucy smile and an
ON inous shake of the head No, sir
Minister (astonished)-M Lock, how
is this? Have wife already?
Mr.. Lock--No, sir; l am divorced.
Minister-Have you your divorce pa
pers with you?
Mr. rLock-No, sir; left them at home.
At this juncture Miss Kate. loftily
sailed down the aisle and out of the
house of worship. Limpy and Tippy
battered off as fast as possible, and Jack
made himself invisible.
Lock has young wife and child liv-
ing in Jersey City, and Kate becoming
aware of the fact, took this course to
expose him.

The Descendants of Kings.
From Once q Week.

What has become of the children of
all the extinct houses? If we suppose
which is not very unreasonable-tw
children to every man, we get geom-
etrical progression in the number of
descendants. Taking the Carlovingian
dynasty, for example, which got sent
about their private business in the year
9S7: the two last sons found an asylum
in Germany. Each of these may have
been the father of thirty generations;
and according to my hypothesis, there.
might be now, had not wars and famine
interposed, upwards of a thousand mil
lions-as any one may calculate, OF lineal
descendants of the last Carlovingian
king. In other words, under peaceful
conditions, it would take q single pair
only thirty-one generations, or less than
thousand years, to people the whole
world as it is now peopled. Of course,
all these calculations, are upset by war,
famine, pestilence, and ignorance of
hygiene. Still, with all deductions, is it
not obvious that the blood of any given
man must, after many generations be
flowing in the veins of millions of people?
Another way to look at it is Southey's.
He said enormously, that since every
man has two progenitors, four grand
progenitors, either alaoi sixteen abaot,
and so forth, ne himself must have had,
IN the reign of King John, all England
for his ancestors. AS matter of fact,
from Southey to King John there were
twenty generations which give million
as the number of his ancestress at the
time, or about third of the whole pop
ulation of King Johns England. 1t is,
however, quite evious that while the
blood of two Carlovingian princess may
possibly be found in every German sol
dier now before Paris, it takes an i'm.
mense number of ancestors, even cor
recting for kinship, to make one man,
after twenty generations or so. And it
is a consolatary reflection, to those who
unfortunately have forgotten their own
grandfathers, that, amongall their count
less ancestors, some, at least, must have
been kings; and among their descen-
dants, some, at lest will be known to the
world. How pleasant, after spending a
lifetime in searching among mute,
inglorious village registers, to find your
self descended from brother of Shak-
speare, or a cousin of Milton, or one of
the many children, say of Charles IL. |!
And, quoting your own case, how it
would fortify your belief in the heredit-
ary nature of genius.

Terrible Accident at Cincinnati.

Four men were killed Monday, by the
fall of the west wall of new building on
the southwest corner of Fourth and Plum
streets, being erected for the gas-works
offices. 1t was of handsome stone work,
and the sides of the building, three
stories high, were about to be put under
the roof Twenty-Five feet of the top of
the west wall, 40 feet long, was blown in
by the hurricane at 2:3O 2. nj. The
carpenters were engaged on a Temporary
flooring on the third story, when a mass
of brick carried five of them down with
the wreck of the joists, two going down
to the cellar. Three were killed out
right. Their names are Frank Jones, 40
years of age, having wife and four
daughters; Henry Wellington, 49,, with
a large family, and John Dener, so, also
with a wife and large family. They were
so crused as to be unrecognizable, with
the exception of Jones. HI. Jacobstunger,
the boss carpenter, also man of family,
was so crushed that he died in two hours
after. Pierce Plumb was badly injured
internally, but may recover, and two men
escaped with but slight injuries. The
coroner's investigation commenced to-
night and will be concluded tomorrow.
There is strong disposition on the part
of the jury to censure the contractor,
Truman Harty, because the walls were
not braced up but it is shown that the
wall was solid, II inches thick, and
plumb; that they were prepared to put
a truss roof on.

New Poem by Whittier.

THE PRAYER-sEEKER.
Along the aisle where prayer was made,
A woman all in black arrayed,
CIose-veiled. between the kneeing host.
With gliding motion of a ghost,
Passed to the desk and laid thereon
A scroll whioh bore these words alone:
Pray for me!
Back from the place of worshiping
SIZE glided like a guilty thing;
The rustic of her draperies, stirred
By hurrying feet, alone was heard;
While, full of awe, the preacher read,
As out into the dark she sped:
Pray for me!
Back to the night from whence she came.
To unimagined grief or shame!
Across the threshold of that door
None knew the burden that she bore;
Alone she left that written scroll.
The legend of a troubled soul:
Pray for me!
Glide 81 on, poor ghost of woe woe l:.ig or sin!
Thou lay st a common need within:
Each bears, like thee, some nameless weight,
Some misery inarticulate,
Some secret SIM some shrOuded dread,
Some household sorrow all unsaid.
Pray for ,ss!
Pass on The type of all thou art,
Sad witness to the common heart
With face in veil and and seal on lip.
In mute and strange cOmpanlonship
Like thee we wander to and fro,
Dumbly imploring as we go:
Pray for as!
All. who shall pray, since he who pleads
Our wants perchance hath greater needs
Yet they who make their loss the gain
Of others shall not ask in vain,
And heaven bends low to hear the prayer
Of love from lips of self-despair:
Pray for us!
In vain remorse and fear and hate
Beat with bruised hands against fate
Whose walls of iron only move
And open to the touch of love,
He only feels his burdens fall
Who, taught by suffering, pities all.
Pray for us!
He pray eth best who leaves unguessed
The mystery of another's breast.
Why cheeks grow pale, why eyes o'erfow,
Or heads are white. thou need'st not know.
Enough to note by many sign
That every heart had needs like thine.
Pray for usl

Mr.. STURGEON has formed bad opin-
ion of the religious condition of Eng
land. He is reported to have said in a
recent sermon "The Church of
England seems TO be eaten through
and through with sacramentarianism
but conformity appears to me
to be almost as badly riddled
with philosophical infdelity. Those
of whom we thought better things are
turning aside one by one from the fun.
damentals of the faith. At first it was
the doctrine of the eternity of future
punishment that had to be given up
now it must be the very doctrine of the
Fall-frst one thing, then another, the
whole must go. They treat our doc
trines as though they were all to be
knocked down at their good pleasure
when they choose to amend our theolo-
gy. Through and through, ! believe
the very heart of England is honey
combed with damnable infdelity which
dares still go into the pulpit and call
itself Christian"

THE Dead Letter office is one Of the
most curiously interesting branches OF
the Government, and the cause of it, or
the necessity for such an institution, is
a mystery. 1t is impossible almost to
conceive of the carelessness, stupidity
and ignorence by which more than
fourteen millions of letters were intrusted
to the Post-office in single year, for
which no designation could be found, in
consequence of inaccuracies, imperfec-
ton and fatal omissions in dissection
upward of 5000 have no address what
ever. And the mystery is the more
remarkable when it is considered that
these letters contained money to the
amount of at least 100000, in small
sums generally, and checks, drafts, g.,
to the amount of 100000 moro. This
property was of course returned, or most
of it, upon information obtained by
opening and examining the letters at the
Dead Letter Office.
