REPORTED DISCOVERY OF A SUBTERRANEAN
OUTLET TO GREAT SALT LAKE.-A dispatch
rom Corinne, Utah, says a subterranean
outlet to Great Salt Lake has been found
opposite Corinne, and between the Fremont
and Kimbal islands. The schooner Pho
neer, Capt. Hannah, sailing in the vicinity
last Tuesday, was down into the opening,
which is an immense maelstrom, or stu
pendous whirlpool, and the descent and
circular motion of the water was so rapid
and violent that the vessel was made to
spin around with frightful velocity, and it
was only by high winds prevailing at the
time that she was enabled to sail beyond
the influence of the awful chasm. Captain
Hannah reports that he has no doubt that
this opening, never before discovered, is
the grand outlet of the lake. A party of
scientific men will leave here Immediately,
on the steamer Kate Conner, to investigate
this, the greatest of modern wonders. The
result will probably show how, for ages,
the accumulation from a thousand mountain
streams has disappeared through the
earth's surface.

Gold and ifS GninrS

The estimated amount of gold in exist
ence at the commencement of the Chris
tan era was 1927, 000, 900. At the diseov-
cry of America, in 1892, this amount had
been diminished to $57, 900, 600. In 1900
the amount had risen to Sl05, 000, 600; in
100 to 1851, 000, 600; in 1900 to 81, 251,-
DOC, 900. The Russian mines, extending
over one-third of the surface ofthe globe;
on parallel fifty degrees north latitude, were
discovered in 1919.
In 1S43, the estimated amount of gold
in existence was 50, 900, 900. 900.
Next followed the discoveries in Califor-
mia, February 8, 1913, and in Australia,
February u. 1851, which added enormous
ly to the gold production. In 1858 the
amount in existence was computed at ST.
900. 600, 600; and in 1860 it was 5 1000, O0O,-
600.
From the commencement of the Chris
tan era to the discovery of America, it was
estimated that gold had been taken from
the surface and mined to the amount of
SO, 500, 900, 600. From that date to the close
of 1912, 50, 800, 600, 900; to 1860, Russia
adds SAG, 900, 600 and California and Aus
tralia, 50, 900, 000, 600 more. The amount
of gold at present in existence is estimated
at SIS, $780, 900, 900. The quantity of gold
and silver, of all denominations, in all
quarters of the globe, issetdown by the best
authorities at from three to four hundred
millions pounds sterling; and the quantity
of plate and ornaments at about eiO0, O00,-
600.
In the reign of Darius gold was thirteen
times more valuable, weight for weight, than
silver. In the time of Plato it was twelve
times as valuable. In the time of julius
Caesar gold was only nine times more valu-
able, owing, perhaps, to the enormous
quantity of gold seized by him in his wars.
1t is a natural question to ask, what became
of the gold and silver? A paper read be-
fore the Polytechnic Association by DR..
Stephens, recently, is calculated to meet
this inquiry: He says, of our annual gold
product, full fifteen per cent. is melted
down for manufa eture; t~hirty-ive
per cent. goes to Europe; twenty-five
per cent. to Cuba; fifteen per cent. to Bra
I'll; five per cent. direct to Japan, China,
and the Indies; leaving but five per cent.
for circulation in this country. Of that
which goes to Cuba, the West Indies, Bra
I'll, fully fifty per cent. finds its way to Eu-
rope, where, after deducting q large per-
centage used in manufacturing. four-fifths
the remainderis exported to India Here
the transit of the precious metal is at an
end. Here the supply, however vast, is
absorbed, and never returns to the civilized
Christian Union.

CHEAP LUXURHs FOR THE PEoPLE.-Oppor-
tunely, at the time when the cost of living is
enormous, a new article appears in the mar
ket, affording an unprecedented amount Of
delicious and wholesome aliment, almost for
q song. We refer to the patent SEA Moss
FARINE, which is now, by virtue Of its extra
ordinary ~cheapness, taking the place OF ali
the gelatinous articles o. food manufactured
from maize and grain. The raw material of
this nutritious and fattening agent is the free
gift OF nature: a marine moss growing in pro-
digious quantities on the Irlsh coast, and
known as Carrageen. Cleansed, desicGated,
concentrated and reduced to powder by a
patent process, this wonderful plant yields a
larger quantity of pure, palatable aliment in
proportion to it's weight, than any substance
producedfrom the great agricultural staples.
Artistic cocks pronounce it the finest article
for custards, buildings, creams, soups,
sauces, &C., that has yet been discovered,
and the SEA Moss FARINE Co., of New York,
who own the patent, find it all they can do to
keep pace with the demands for the new staff
of life.

The ssierce extremes of Wall street may

w. He came into the market in
1862 with 5000, bought gold at ITO and
sold it at 1856; bought again three times as
much, sold it for 160; went into Erie at 80,
sold it for 80; bought Pacific Mail at 120,
sold it for 165. In March, 1868, he had
S49, 600 at his bankers. But this was only
the beginning. Something was going on
in Harlem, SO he bought 1000 Harlem.
Morse was at work ct Pittsburg, so he
bought 2, 900 P~ittsburg. Erie was feverish-
ly moving toward 80; he bought !, 900 Erie.
Meanwhile Hooker was moving on Chan
cellorsyille, and there was silence in the
stock market for the space of a day. Now
the news came of a retrograde movement,
in plain English a repulse. The army
was this side the Rappahannock, the
signal was given and the cohort of
bulls moved on their enemy's works.
Erie sold up to ITO, Pittsbu,g los, and
Harlem in its proportion. He pocketed
go, 900 more by this venture, and in
March, 1864, he stood $3.50, 600 ahead of
the market. Then for a short space he
had a charming life. A pair of spanking
bays, tandem, whirled him to the park in o
tall Belmont, with a turnkey in livery on
the back seat with a bug in his hat. Over
his morning repast foated the aromatic
steam of Mocha, and the favOrs of exotic
fruits. He lunched off partridge, stuffed
with ~trufies, washed down by a bottle of
Chateau d'Yqem, or the liquid pellueid
gold of the vintage of Heres, and his DIN
ner was nine courses of fish, flesh and fowl
at Delmonico's, thanked by the most tooth
some of entremeiS, and wines that would
make a Mussulman forswear his creed.

He bought 5000 shares. Then
he bought 5000 Pittsburgh at 1873, and
900 Fort Wayne at IA. In ten days he
lost S270, 600. This was in the great panic
of April, 1864.

a modest plate of hash and a cup of
thing called coffee, but in which the
strongest imagination could not detecta
drop of the infusion of the Arabian berry.
His coat was foxy, his hat had a suspicious

this individual, but the future may have
great things in store for them. Let us

Scenes in an Express Office.

Some ludicrous scenes often occur in an
express Office, of which the following is a
sample: Enters, a tall, gaunt, red headed
individual, with a ~cadaverous and elongated
visage and most woe-begone expression,
who solemnly marches up to the counter
and addresses the clerk, with,
Say, dew yew u tew -P
Olerk-"The express does, SIR"
Stranger-"Well, what dew yew charge
tew send q purity good sized box down? /
want tew git it threw purity quick"
Olerk-'I could tell better if I saw the
box. What doesit contain p
Stranger = ''Somethin' I was afeard
might Spite, so 1 thought l wouldn't resk it
by freight train, although faint worth much
to me-"
Clerk (impationtly)-"WeIl, what does
the box contain ?"
Stranger-"My wife I"
Sometimes incidents of a touching char
acter will transpire in the precincts of the
unsentimel tal express Office. For instance.
an expressman upon reaching his office
early one cold morning m January, OBJ
served on the sidewalk a long, heavy box,
which his praeticed eye at once identified
rs containing a corpse. Upon one end of
the box, shivering with the cold, sat a little
boy ABOUT seven or elgnCy years OF
age. Addressing him kindly, he said:
my lad, don't sit there, yon will freeze;
in and sit by the stove"
Bursting into tears, the little fellow re-
piled, mo, 1 can't come in, my mother is
IN this box and 1 promised her 1 would
leave her until We got home"
Deeply affected with the touching devo-
ton of this brave little fellow, he finally
succeeded in convincing him of the
entire safety of his precious charge, and
him over to a neighborine
restaurant, gave him a warm breakfast,
and learned the particulars of his sad
story. His father died about a year pre-

"Down in Wilmington, some time ago,
an odd man who was very feeble was help

twenty. A month afberward the old man
died, and as an expression of his gratitude
he left the youth forty thousand dollars.
And now no old mans life is safe in Will
mington. All the young fellows have had
their ambition excited, and as soon as n
venerable man appears on the sidewalk a
dozen chaps rush at him, grab him by the
trowsers and the collar and the back
hair, and try to carry him across the street,
whether he wants to go pr not. When he
gets there a lot more fasten on him and
set him back again, and then present their
cards. So the old men are having a lovely
time now, and they have got to tack up
the street whenever they go out for a walk.
Thus far very little cash has been evolved;
but all the young men study the obituary
advertisement carefully, and when they
see the words at the age of seventy-six or
sixty-six, or anywhere In that neighbor.
