CURIOUS RELICS.
Ancient Mines Revisited.


The Panama Star and Herald says that
in conversation with two Americans
who have been settled for some time
back IN the little port of Pines, to the
southwark of the Bay of San Miguel, we
are put In possession of certain informa-
ton. With the restless energy so char
acteristic of the national character in
extending their researches back into
the interior, they came, by a
not very difficult road, upon the deserted
site of the celebrated mines of Cana
thagena, which they took, plundered
and burnt and that from thence they
sailed to Caledonia, rowed up the river
OF DaIien, and ingratiating themselves
with the Indians, were conducted by
them to the gold mines at Santa Cruz
de Cana, near Santa Maria, and after
they had marched nine days, they fell
in with an Outguard of the Spaniards,
of whom they took nine; but the others,
escaping, gave notice at the mines of
their approach.

itants fed with their money and jewels !;
that, however, the English took the fort
and possessed themselves of the mines,
where about seventy negroes remained.
whom they set TO work during the TWEEN
one DAYS they were there, in which time
thev got about eighty pounds weight of
gold, besides several pieces of plate.
which they found buried in the ground
BY the inha1tants; and that
at their return they burnt the town
and brought away the negroes"
After this, as we all know, Cana was
abandoned, and its mines filed up by
or':er OF the Spanish king, but enough
of evidence remains to point out its ex-
act locality. Experienced mineralOgists
would find great difficulty In tracing
ont the rich veins from whose Out-cr0p-
ping the Spaniards derive so much gold.
Or American friends say that at their
recent visit to the place the site of the
houses could be pointed out by the
grinding-stones used Tor corn or ore.
The remains of the fort can vet be trac-
ed, but the most curious discovery they
made was that the four or five brass
cannon still lying there were found from
their construction to be breech-loaders;
they were manufactured in Barcelona,

dence ofbeingintended for use ON board
of ship, from which they had been sent
for the defense of the place against In
dams. The locality, though wooded, is
cool and healthy, being some 5000 feet
above the sea.
Random specimens of the ore gave GO
to the ton, and the surface washings
could, with profitable methods, be made
very profitable. In the surrounding
woods are the remnants of ancient plan

The North German Gazette comments
on the numerous letters written by cap
tured French officers to Belgian newspa-
pers, indicating themselves from the
accusations of the Prussians or those of
their own colleagues, as remarkable
proof how profoundly the discipline of
the French army must be shattered.
Subalterns and privates, moreover do
not hesitate to denounce their COM
manders as traitors. When the Oliver
Ministry disclosed the fact that 40, 600
soldiers voted "nou" in the Plebiscite
it could scarcely have realized all the
consequences, for If the army were
permitted in this way openly to censure
their supreme commander, the Emper-
or, why should the French soldier
scruple to criticise his officers and Gen.

Potatoes for Stock Feed.

Not one farmer in fifty realizes the true
value of potatoes for stock. They are
not only good for horses and cattle, but
for hogs, calves, and poultry. When
storing the present harvest, all those too
small for stable use should be sorted
out, kept, and judiciolsly fed. As to
their value for mich cows, experiments
have proven them to exceed that OF al
most every other root. Our readers viii
remember the statement made by Mr..
r. A. Hunt, of Euclid, Ohio, in the Ohio
Farmer, some months ago, in regard to
an experiment made. While thirty-six
quarts of carrots were fed, thirty 1.-TWO
pounds of milk were received daily; with
the same amount, one half potatoes,
thirty-six pounds of milk were given;
and when potatoes were fed alone, forty
pounds of milk were received. The
roots were cut and fed raw three times a
day, in messes of twelve quarts each.
The above is heavier feeding than is
necessary, but very plainly shows the
value of this vegetable as q milk pro-
Queer. We believe from experience,
that they are also a profitable feed for
the making Of flesh, and the laying on
Of fat.
As feed for calves, they make one OF
the very best substitutes for milk, con-
aiming as they do, sixteen per cent. OF
starch in q natural state and sixty per
cent In dry state They should be
boiled as for table use, the skins re-
moved, mashed thoroughly, and put in
milk Calves eat them In this way
greedily, and thrive remarkably well.
They will not cause scours as grain feed
does, and tend to keep the appetite reg
ular.
As food for horses in winter time,
the potato posses rare qualities as reg
ulator; they may be given once or twice
week, say, In messes of few quarts.
For hogs, they should be boiled, mash
ed and mixed in the swill barrel with
kitchen slors and milk, with o liberal
quantity OF wheat bran or corn meal
added. This makes one of the cheap
est as well as one of the best early feeds
for swine, and puts them in a healthy
and thriving condition for fattening
and wonderfully saves in pork making,
when compared with other feed alone.
Potatoes are profitable as a spring
feed for sheep, and especially for ever,
raising lambs; they give strength,
health and appetite, and produce milk
abundantly. For sheep they should be
cut and fed raw once a day. One of the
best methods is to cut fine and mix with
wheat bran or ground oats. Asa choice
for breeding ewes in summer, we would
prefer to have fifty per cent of the old
potatoes, by weight, than to have the
whole amount either oats or corn.
Potatoes boiled, mashed, and mixed
with corn-meal, and fed hot, are excel
lent for chickens in winter. We know
a poultry dealer, who always uses this
mixture, and for health of fowls and
production of eggs, no henery, to our
knowledge excels his, according to the
number of chickens kept-OhiOF Farmer

OUR DEAD.

Nothing Is our own; ; we hold our pleasures
just a little while ere thev are fled;
One by one life robs us of our treasures
Nothing is our own except our dead.
They are ours, and hold In faithful keeping
Safe forever all they took away,
Cruel life can never stir that sleeping;
Cruel time can never seize that prey.
How the children leave US! and no traces
Linger of that smiling angel band;
Gone, forever gone, and In their places
Weary men and ANXIOUS women stand.
Yet we have some little ones still ours;
They have kept the baby smile. We know,
Which we kissed one day and hid with flowers
On their dead white faces long ago.
Is love ours, and we dream we know 1t.
Bound with all our heart strings all our own
Any cold and cruel da, n may show 1t,
Shattered, desecrate,is overthrown.
Only the dead hearts forsake us never;
Love that to deaths loyal care has fled,
Is thus consecrated ours forever,
And no change can rob us of our dead.
AL the Year Round.
