Gen. Grant a Man of Grit.

A peculiar kind of grit, not falling
under any of the special expressions |
have noted, yet partaking in some degree
of all, is illustrated in the character of
Gen. Grant. Without an atom of pre-
tension or rhetoric, with none of the ex
ternal signs of energy and intrepidity,
making no parade of the immovable pur-
pose, iron nerve, and silent penetrating
intelligence God has put into him, his
tranquil greatness is hidden from superb
ciaI scrutiny behind a cigar, as President
Lncoln's was behind a joke. When any
body tried to coax, or caiole, or overawe,
bro wheat or deceive Lincoln, the Presi
dent was reminded of a story; when
anybody tries the same game with Grant,
the General listens and-smokes. If
YOU try to wheedle out of him his pans
for a campaign. he stoidly smokes; if
YOU cali him an lnbecIe and blunderer,
he blandy lights another cigar; if you
praise him as the greatest General living,
he placidly returns the puff from his Re.
gala; and if you tell him he should run
for the Presidency, it does not disturb
the equanimity with which he inhales
and exhales the unsubstantis! vapor
which typifies the politicians promises.
While you are wondering what kind Of
man this creature without tongue is,
YOU are suddenly electrified with the news
of some splendid victory, proving that
behind the cigar, and behind the face Dis
charged Ct all tel-tale expressions, is the
best brain to plan and the strongest
heart to dare among tie Generals of the
Republic. Success and ats Conditions.

the great seer of modern spiritualsm, An
drew Jackson Davis. Ii gives.a description
of death, or the parting of the soul and the
body at the termination of our physical ex-

land, that you will be greeted at the portal
by the dear ones gone before, that an eternity
awaits you with all the pleasures of paradise
and not an ounce of birthstone, must afford
the sweetest consolation alike TO Jew and
Gentle. But what will convince us of the
truth of this theory? Certainly not the pen

EHLORIDIZING PRO
CESS.

Afn/new and improved processes or
ideas In the matter Of the treatment or
reduction Of silver ores being accepta-
bic and Of interest to people generally
In this section, we copy the following
from the Scientific Press:
An ingenious method Of roasting and
chloridizing silver ores In a mass, and
without stirring, the invention OF MIR.
Crosby, IL said to have been success
fully tried In Colorado. The process
may be referred to that Of cooking In
square ovens, and Is equally simple.
The ore-chamber Is of oblong form, ~
feet long, Z feet wide, andl0 feet deep,
and has a perforated floor made Of
bricks or tiles, with pinch holes, about
seven inches apart /; doors are provided
on each side Of the chamber for draw
ing the charge. Underneath the per
forated floor are tire-bo1es, the fiues OF
which are made to pass under the floor
of the chamber. Round wooden 2-inch
poles are placed upright In the perfor-
ations In the bottom, and held In place
by wire or light hoop-iron, passing
across the top Of the chamber. These
being In position, and the side doors
closed, the furnace Is ready for charg.
ing. The ore to be treated Is prepared
by mixing with It about ten pounds to
the ton Of cut straw, hay, or other
fibrous vegetable material, with the
necessary quantity Of brine, the whole
being moist enough to pack well:
When the chamber has been charged
by shoyeling In the mass around and
among the poles, the poles are with
drawn, anda slow fire applied beneath.
The fame and heat pass under the ore
chamber, and thence upward, through
the ore by meal Of the openings lett
by the removal Of the poles. The
moisture Is rapidly expelled, and n
flame then attacks the straw ineorpor-
ated with the charge. As this burns
ont. innumerable little flues are form
ed. which not only lead the fame
through every particle OF the mass
Snt form avenues for the escape Of sui
phur and other volatile matters. a

sumption Of fuel Is from one-eigntn 10

and In its use It Is claimed to be eN.
tremely economical; it Is also claimed
that it provides a way for tho treat
ment Of low grade ore that cannot be
nroftably handled by any other
method ; a, the ore must be wet when
nut into the furnace. 1t can be used by
either dry or wet crushing mills, the
latter being at no expense for drying
ore whilst the furnace may be mace
of either brick or stone, requiring no
power, and having no iron work ex-
posed to the fire, the grate-bars ex-
