Looking then at the funding bill as it really

Ing such monster as 1t has been represented
A large number of people have been misled

To conclusion will say, the bill has been ex-

Gold In Windsor County.

In Windsor County there has been
some little stir this fall, and will prob
ably be more in the spring on the subjec,
of gold mining. An island has been
formed at one point in the bed of White
River, by the yearly wash of mud brough,
down from the hill sides for miles by the
rapid stream. It is of about Is acres
and has for years been cultivated and used
as pasture, with good profit to its owners
1t formed once part of the property OF
the late Merrick Gay. ~ Last summer q
man named Saltree, an Englishmsn by
birth, as we are informed, well-educated
In mining and metallurgy, and having
had practical experience in the California
gold regions, got bis eye on that island
and having made what investigations be
desired, leased II of the present owner for
a small sum, $50 for the frat year, and
500 year thereafter, with some privil-
eyes and additions, as we are informed.
Before long it was noised abroad that Mr..
Saltree was finding gold in paying pro-
portions On the island, snd be was not
long without plenty of offers for rights to
dig-the owner Of the land himself pay
ing $500 for one. Mr.. Saltree does not
intend to dig himself, bat to let out the
whole territory in small tracts; and
probably as soon as spring comes, the
island will be all worked over.
The soil is a black sand, in which grains
of gold of more or less fiueness can be
seen with the eye. A Quantity of gold
washed ont by Mr.. Saltree and sent to
New York for assay, gave the value of the
ore at 81 $50 to the ton, very profit BILE
ialI Sa-ara1 1allara dow ha 10
by any one "pannine" the surface dirt
anywhere on the island, and it is believed
that the dirt will grow richer, as greater
depth is reached.
These facts were given US by gentle
man who lives there, and who brought
specimens of the sand and of the gold
washings to show US. None of the grains
of gold were large, about like coarse saw
dust, but they were pretty plenty in the
sand. Some of it was smelted in this
city, and made a very pretty button, to
have come from only few quarts of the
sand.
This matter has revived many stories
about gold finding on White River.
Among others, it is related that many
years ago, while the roadmaster was hav-
ing a piece of road repaired which every
spring was washed out by the river,
singular looking stone of considerable
size was rolled out of the bank just as
carriage came by. The gentleman driv-
ing, called out to the men to get him
piece of that queer looking stone. They
broke off fragment and gave him and
drove on, while the workmen tumbled
the stone down the bank ont of their way.
A year or two afterwards the same
gentleman came back, and hunting up
the roadmester, they made fruitless
search to find that same stone The
fragment taken away had shown that the
proportion of gold was nearly two-thirds
of the whole The roadm ster and his
boys made careful search, bnt the slump
of gold" was not to be found and occs-
sionally now some one who has beard the
tale spends while in hunting along the
banks of the river for the famous stone.

Mr. Cataoszy. After the exchange OF
courtesies, the President and Prince. arm
in arm. followed by their suitse, passed in.
to the Red Room and were presented to
Mrs. Grant and few of her especial la
DIV friends. In nineteen minutes from the
time that the President and Cabinet en-
tered the room the legation reappeared, EN-
tered their carriages and drove away.
In this country where every freeman is
nobleman, royalty is never in very
great demand, and we, ourself, would as
soon think of getting enthusiastic over a
beggar as Prince, but truth forces us to
admit that 80 far as appearance goes, this
young scion of royalty does possess points
of excellence such as we have rarely seen
rqualed. He stands over elk feet high,
hns broad, deep chest, with an entire hg-
ure developed to nicely; full but not
obese, with a muscle to be envied by q
xymnast. His foerhead is high and sur
mounted by light silvery hair his COM
plexion light and forid, and his whole
countenanoe, though possessed of a high
Intellectual cast, wears the semblance of
hoyhood. From his entering town until
his departure, the whole affair seemed
frigidly formal, indeed studiously 30, and
seems in psor harmony with the feeling
which has long existed between the two
governments. This is doubtless in part
owing to the recent diplomatic iufelicitiss
which have resulted in the relieving of
Mr.. Catacazy as Russian minister, and
sppoiatiug in his place Gen. Gorloff, as
head of the Russian Legation.
