Valuable Mineral Deposits in Nevada.
From the Virginia Nevada Enterprise.

From the Virginia lNeyada, Enterprise.
We find the following in regard to
the borax mines of this state in the
market report of the Sacramento
Union
" Letters ofin quiry continue to reach
us from Great Britain respecting the
probable supplies of crude borax from
the recently discovered mines near Fish
Lake, in the State of Nevada. We have
answered applicants by stating that the
supply is lnexhaustible, and could be
furnished here at profit for five cents
per pound. A refined article of the
same, perfectly pure, is offered at TWEEN
ty-five cents. A year or two ago Borax
Lake, in our own State, promised a
large product, but the freezing out
game, common in California mining OPP
perations, crippled all work, and for
months past no supplies have been
marketed from that source, and
we fear that Nevada will III the future,
rather than California, feed the markets
of the world with this important article
of commerce. " Not only are there ex
tensive deposits OF borax to be found IN
this State. but lakes and fields of salt
and carbonie of soda that are absolutely
inexhanstible. Almost daily we see
loads of carbonate of soda brought to
the town from deposits at no great dis
lance to the eastward in the vicinity OF
Ragtown, which is of snowy white
ness. and does not show the slightest
stain of any color, nor the least speck
of dirt or any foreign substance. As
fast as as stratum of this soda is re-
moved another is formed. There are
hundreds, if not thousands, of soda
deposits in the State, but We see none
SO pure as from the one mentioned
above. In appearance the soda as
brought from the deposit is quite as
pure as that sold in our grocery and
provision stores for family use. In
Humbaldt County there are immense
deposits of pure sulphur, and consid-
cradle deposits of alum, which miner
al is generally found in and about beds
of sulphur as, for instance, in Esmer-
alba County, twelve miles north OF
Silver Greek, where alum is found IN
seams from the thickness Vt knife
blade up to several inches traversing
extensive culphur deposits in every
direction. Alumis also found impreg-
mating the water of many springs
north of this city, near the Truckee
River, and also OF springs of small
volumes in many other places in Storey
Country.

Ballot Register.

The New Haven Journal says that a
gentleman of that place has invented n
registering ballot-box. Its mechanism
is very simple, but ut the same time it
secures the desired result. On the in
ner side of the box is slide, which
can be slipped back and forth so as to
cover and uncover the hole through
which the ballots are put. When a
voter hands up his ballot, and his right
to vote has been ascertained by the
check list, the slide is pulled back,
leaving the hole open for the entry of the
ticket. AS the slide is pulled back
it rings small bell, and at the
same time turns small wheel
over which rolls slip of paper. The
outside of this paper has printed upon
it figures from 0 to 30, and each time
the slide is pulled the wheel registers
the number of the vote, which number
can be seen through small hole in the
box. When twenty votes have been
registered, another wheel, below the
first, registers 20 also, and then each
30 until the number 400 has been
reached. BY placing in third wheel
the number of 500 can be registered.
In this way the total number of persons
who have voted will be correctly regis
tered by the wheels. If double voting
has been effected it will be disclosed
on the counting of the ballots.

Fallacies in Building.

John Henry writes to the Scientific
American that the following are falla-
cles
To suppose that timber growing in
the woods or floating in water to-day,
can be placed in building next week,
and stay where it Is put.
That if such timber be used the walls
will not crack.
That the base, window PANELS, cas-
ings, &c, will not part company with
the floors from one-fourth to three
fourths Of an inch in less than year,
and that the builder put unseasoned
lumber in the latter.
That kiln dried lumber is as good as
lumber thoroughly air seasoned, or
that the atmosphere has no influence
upon it.
That joint once tight will always
remain SO.
That if trimming be put up before
plastering, or trimmed on green walls,
that putty will not be in great demand
when they dry.
That hot air from furnace viii not
start and open every piece of wood
work with which it comes IN contact,
nine times out of ten.
That in all cases money is saved by
contracting with the lowest bidder.
That all knowledge in relation to
building is embodied in every one who
signs Architect after his name.
That architects and builders never
clay in together" and owners never
get "shorn" through that little ar
rangement
That architects, as a rule, get no 9TH
err commissions on buildings except the
traditional 50 five per cent. on the cost
That builders always carry out plans
and specifications to the letter,
That there are no high-minded, con-
ssientious, competent architects, and
no honest, reliable builders; and that
either class does not bear a reputation
equal to that of any other business
men.
That builder does not require an
extended theoretical, nor an architect
as extended practical knowledge, to
be successful.
That no builder can be a successful
architect, or that practical architect
cannot be successful builder.
That you, reader, without practical
knowledge, know great deal more
about the details of a house than OF a
locomotive.

whom, at that time, we discovered
standing over the kitchen stove super
intending a large kettle, filed with mo-
lasses, which from time to time she
vigorously stirred with long iron
spoon, as it dubbed and boiled, rising
up to the edge, and threatening to
overflow; from time to time she would
give the impatient ones little, to try
on snow boil, to see if it was done,
although telling them with knowing
shake of the head, that it had not
boiled long enough, and ''that it must
string before it is DONE" while she
would hold some up in the spoon and
let it drip into the kettle, and when in
her experienced opinion it haRreached
the right stage, she poured in little
vinegar, and spoonful or so of soda,
4" to make it white,' she said, and then
she poured the amber mass into the
platters und plates, which, previously
creased, awaited its reception.
After which, each one of us took a
dish, and ran out doors to set it in the
snow to cool, but we found that it did
not cool SO quickly as we had imagined,
as our burnt fingers testified; but
when it became cool enough to work
well, we each took soft warm lump,
and commenced the interesting opera
ton of pulling candy"
To what pitch of distraction did
some arrive, as the unheard of sticki
ness of the substance exceed their pow
ers to subdue, and how fondly it would
cling to ones fingers! But after re-
| peated exertions, somewhat aided by A
| little butter or -four on the hands, we
finally succeeded in coaxing it into
some enjoyable degree of puttabiiity.
Somebody has said, "Nothing 50
sweet as the butter our own hands have
charmed" and making the same apph-
cation, we would say, "Nothing SO
sweet ~ the candy our own hands have
pulled" Verify, how sweet it did taste,
and how we did rejoice IN It's brittle
ness and flavor.
When our appetites for candy had
been stated, how refreshing the draught
of sweet cider from the old brown
pitcher, how juicy the apples, how good
! the nuts and pop-corn-neyer have we
enjoyed them SO well, before
or since. Then followed the
various games of a "rustic party
with it's rough accompaniment of blind
mans buff, and whirling plate, and for
feits paid y and we tripped :" the light,
fantastic toe, " till the warning notes
Of the old clock in the corner, reminded
us of the hours that were, and the few
to be, before the morning dawned, and
with some computations, we hurried
on our wraps, and bidding our adieu to
our country friends, we at last started
off, with many invitations to come
again, and feeling that we never did
have such good time"
As we were beginning to feel some
what the effect OF SO much dissipation,
and that "Jack Frost was holding
high carnival with the tips of our ears
and noses, the dim outline of the city
became visible, and breaking out into
the merry chorus, "We won't go home
till morning, We were landed at last at
our own doorpost, firmly settled in the
belief that "candy pulls were great
invention, aud with the solemn deter
mination to indulge in the same very
often

The HONEYMOON Abolished.

The Princess Louise and the Marquis
of Lorne were married on Tuesday.
On Thursday they received visit from
the Queen. On Saturday they went to
Windsor, on a visit to the Queen. On
the following Tuesday they came to
London and appeared in public. This
ought to give the Quietas to the honey
moon, one of the most absurd lnstitu-
tons on the earth. Why should a
couple be doomed to whole month of
billing and cooling Romeo and Juliet
would have tired of such feast of atfec
ton. The honeymoon is the cause dido
nestle misery. That foolish month
sickens husband and wife of each 9TH
er's society. Lord Penzance would
have much less to do In the divorce
business but for the honeymoon The
painting William will find that in less
than month of uninterrupted spooning
he will have had o surfeit of Susan,
and that surfeit will mar the bliss do
nestle. May brides and bridegrooms
have the wisdom to follow the example
of the royal Princess and noble Mar
quis, and instead OF the horrid honey
moon, limit the period of uninterrupt
ed spooning to three days.-London

Lonis, s.rats and mice and no cats, just
think Of that :"
"Please do not bring up rats and
mice now, we'll talk about them anoth-
er time" interrupted George. "We
were speaking Of Herodotus,
do not you remember that he says
that when fire broke out in Egypt
the people thought of saving their cats
before putting the fire out. If the cat
was burned they made great lamenta-
ton over it; when eat died Of a nat
ural death, the inhabitants of the house
in which it lived shaved their eyebrows.
Dead cats were embalmed with great
ceremony. A few years before Christ,
a person killing cat, Intentionally or
not, in Egypt, was beaten to death by
the populace if the unfortunate often
der was Roman, neither the clemency
of Ptolemy nor the fear of Rome
could save him"
"Well, | declare, | shall begin to
think something of cats, exclaimed
Thomas but do tell me, why is it that
cat acts so stupid when you
throw it something to eatl |
thought it was a kind of ruse to get
more
"No, the cats sense of smell is infe-
rior, while its sight, hearing and feel
ing are wonderfully developed" an
swered Adolph.
As proof of its hearing, gentle
man was accustomed to sit under a
tree in his garden with a cat upon his
shoulders One day he took it from
his shoulder and put it upon his knee
while asleep; he continued to read and
the birds to sing IN the branches over
his head. Suddenly the cat sprang
and darted upon mouse several feet
back of the place where she had been
lying. -.
docs any one know how many mice
a cat can eat in n given time2" asked
Louis.
:" / read of a cat in some geological
garden, which ate twenty-five mice III
twenty four hours, and OF another which
ate eight in one hour and was well and
lively after it, " said Adolph.
/" How can there be rats and mice
enough to satisfy snch appetites," cried
Louis, "but forgot, they eat grass
hoppers, beetles and snakes as we'll "

pired, the boys thanked Tabby for
their entertainment, and adjourned. -

A Cure for LcprOsy.

A cure for leprosy has been discov-
cred in India. According to the Pio-
neer, medical science has at last tri-
umphed over this terrible disease. The
civil surgeon of Khundwa reports the
case of an old Jew who came to him
from Bombay, in great grief, saying
that his friends had excluded him from
their society and obliged him to live
in hut by himself. He was at this
time pleasingly notified with rose color.
The doctor had him at once washed
with soap and warm water, and the old
Jew showed signs of improvement. He
was then Amounted with carbolic acid
and oils with such good effects that next
day he wrote to his wife to expect him
home in week In short, what with
washing with soap and water, and what
with Amounting with carbolic acid and
oil, the old jew was soon completely
cured. The experiment had, moreover,
an interest apart from the fact that an
ancient scourge was being conquered IN
the chameleon variations of the corpus
tite under experiment. The Jew came
to hundwa rose color and brown in
week or two he was glossy black and
brown; a little later he became speck-
led gray; then his skin-possibly I'M
easy at what might happen next-lost
all patience with its owner, and peeled
away from him, leaving him just the
color Jew ought to be. He lives IN
the hut no longer, and has been re
celved into the society Of his family
and friends.

Little Mabel.

All day long my little Mabel
Worked as bard as she was able,
Chasing butterflies and bees
Underneath the apple trees,
Weaving daisies in chain
For her Dolly LADY Jane.
little Mabel was go busy
That il made me almost dizzy,
Just to watch her running over
All the meadows red with clover,
out into the shady lane
With her dolly Lady Jane.
Underneath the locust boughs
There she built her baby-houae,
Bits Of china. blue and white,
Filled with buttercups so bright,
And sweet strawberries, ripe ana red,
Which to Lady Jane she fed.
There at sunset mamma found her
With her playthings all around her,
With her face all stained with berries,
And her lips like two sweet cherries,
Cuddled in q little heap.
With her dolly fast asleep.
