There was not a fearless face among those
which were lifted toward him as he stood

down on them the blessing for which he
prayed. Some of the women sobbed audi

Then, in clear voice, in which there
seemed to his listeners ears some unearth-
ly sweetness be recited the one hundred
and thirteenth psalm, commencing
''Out of the deep have | cried unto Thee,
Oh Lord; Lord, hear my voice"
Afterwards Ire gave out the first line Of a
hymn, which the congregation sang Then
he prayed, and some oue said who heard
him, that the eyes closed on earth were
surely behofding the beautiful vision, for
he spoke as a son beloved, whose very soul
was full of the glory of the Fathers pres
ence:
The sermon which followed was such a
one as they had never before heard from
his lips. There was power in it; tervor, "a
tenderness which no words of mine can de-
scribe. 1t was the testimony of living
witness who has found the Lord a very
present help in time of trouble.

foot, and he took her arm and went out
silently. He seemed to the waiting congre-

the anointing of special Sorrow, and they
dared not break the holy silence around
him, with their common light speeches.
For three years more his voice called them
to pursue the better way and then his own
summons came to go UP higher. In those
three years he had sown more seed and
reaped more harvest than some men in a
long lifetime. He did his work faithfully.

The arr OF. Nlalsing Gongs.

None but Cinnamon could heretofore make
gongs to perfection. 1t used to be supposed
that they possessed the secret of mixing the
ALLOW of which the clamorous instruments are
formed, OF else some means of tempering the
metal to allow of its being beaten into shape,
and afterward hardened to sonorous density.
For a genuine gong is brittle; it will crack if
struck with hard substance, and yet it bears
hammer marks all oyerit Wedo not knowwhs-
I ther English musical instrument-makers have
not supplied gongs because there is no de-
mand Tor them, or because they could not
make them. But if the latter, there need no
longer be scarcity in the market, for a
French metallurgist has been experimenting
upon the gong and cymbal metals, and has
revealed the Chinese secret, If secret 1t mas

known; it consists of eighty parts of copper
4 to twenty of tin. But the shaping; attempt
to beat this compound into disk form and it
flies like porcelain. The trick lies in first
heating it, and hammering it while at dull
red heat; it is then malleable as soft iron;
allow it to cool, and it relapsesinto friability.
The making of gong must be tedious work,
though, for the thin metal win soon cool, and
there must be incsssant rshsatings. A bar.

Mining i'm Nevada.

The San Francisco Chronicle gives the fol-
lowing facts in relation to mining in Nevada,
which is attracting so much attention at this
time:-
"The small amount of capital required for
the erection of smelling works enables men
of small means to undertake it, while the
building of quartz mills of the same capacity
would cost tens of thousands of dollars, and
could only be built by capitalists. For in
stance, we may assume that $4,000 will con-
struct smelling furnaces of a capacity to re-
duce thirty tons of ore per day, while the cost
Of building mill of the same capacity would
be $4,000. There are also some other adj
vantages in favor of smelling over
milling. which we have not
space to particularize. AS from two
to three tons of crude ore produce one of
base bullion, the item of freight in seeking a
market is an important one. In this city
there is SO little competition among pur-
chaser, that but seventy-hve per cent of the
assay value of the silver and $40 to $50 per
ton for the lead is obtained here. The freight
charged by the railroad from Elko is 1922 per
ton, and in that proportion from other sta
tions. But large portion of the base bullion
is shipped direct to New York for a market,
where ninety-fve per cent of the assay is
paid for the silver and $50 per ton for the
lead The freight charged from Elzo to New
York is $54. The extraction and shipment
of crude ores to this market are also
attracting attention. There is a market in
this city for any quantity of argentiferous
lead and copper ores that is likely to
be sent here We have firms who receive
consignments of ore, paying freight and
other incidental charges thereon, crush and
sample it, and sell it to the highest bidder
for cash. The charge for this varies from s.
to S15 per ton, according to quantity and
quality. The ore brings about the following
prices;-That assaying 800 per ton in silver
brings Sc per cent. for the silver, beside the
lead and copper; $500 ore brings "A per cent,
and 5000 ore brings so per cent. The lead is
worth about $40 per ton, and the copper
brings $3.50 per unit for 80 per cent. ore, in
creasing or decreasing about 10 cents per
unit, as the percentage is greater or less.
Thus, ore assnying 800 in silver and 30 per
cent. in copper will bring $50 per ton for
the silver and $75 per ton for the copper;
total, $131. Silver ore is reckoned at 2OOO
pounds per ton lead ore at 22O0 pounds, and
copper ore at 1852 pounds. The railroad
charge for freight is SIG per ton from Elko,
or $14 from Carlin.

Ottawa Wholesale Market.

As reported by RAE BROS Wholes and Retail Grocers
No 10 La Sale street.
Ottawa, April 20, 1870.
The market this week has been better than be-
fore, and what little there is coming brings good
prices. A great deal of the corn and oats is
taken for feed. The sudden rise in gold sent
wheat up, and if the quality of wheat in this
section We're better, prices it would advance
also. Corn, in sympathy with wheat, rallied
or, 2 cents. Oats was a trife higher. Butter
sells readily at 30 cents, and eggs bring from 10
10 to IL cents. Should gold continue to advance
we may look for higher prices many kinds
of goods, rs well as on produce. We quote

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

Business in Ottawa is dull, though perhaps a
little livelier than last week.
Money is reported very easy in Chicago and
New York, and loans are made in Chicago at Z
per cent. on call with government securities
The general dizziness in trade undoubtedly is
the reason for this cheap rate for money. In
New York the stock market is reported active,
and all class of securities are on the rise. Gov
ernments have advanced about two per cent.
during the week.
Gold has advanced about two per cent. since

The Most 2ampageous Fresh.

We have q great deal of Oldham loyalty
in our heart, and cannot bear to give in to
the superiority Of anything good or great In
these days over those Of days gone by. We
confessed our modification at yielding ex-
cellence to the food Of Saturday over any
we had known; and, eSasperated at the hui
initiation, we did not know how to be re.
venged save by "going back" upon older
men, and drowning their boasts likewise in
the food which swallowed up our reminis-
cences.
But . venerable friend in Petersburg, a
gentleman most estimable as well as most
intelligent, furnishes an interesting article
to the Inde1, in which he takes up the de-
fence Of the flood of It'll as the champion
food Of history. He refers us to the monu-
ment on Turkey Island as the mark of that
food, and begs Us to go and see it. We
have often inquired about that monument,
and nobody that we have met knows any
thing about it. But that stone must be
found.
Our friend stands out like Kirby Smith
on the Mississippi, after everybody else has
surrendered. He points to landmark after
landmark, and makes out the food not only
to have risen higher than any other, but to
have diyed deeper than any that ever
flowed. He says that in Powhatan it left
pools that remain to this day, that are so
deep Gas to be. almost unfathomable."
That food, we admit, beats all that we
know anything about.
