quartz rock, taken from the Greene mne two
miles west of here This ledge has been rich
from the top down, the sample we refer to being
taken from the shaft at depth of 215 feet from
the surface. The eight or ten pounds We saw
was taken from the foot WALL at the above Depth
aud is solid. blush quartz and literally preg-
mated with fine bright gold all through, the sur
face next the wall rock being almost a sheet Of
gold. The ledge has not varied much in thick
richness in this 215 feet and is now, at
the bottom, plump two feet thick. As yet this
mine leads the list in this district, and is az rich
as they should be anywhere to have gold retain

SITTING FOR MY PICTURE.

1t was on the 10th of March, 1872, took nv
crutches and hobbled my way toward the photo
grapher's office, at the old Auburn Drug Store.
MY progress was slow, and exceedingly painful.
ultimately arrived at my destination, and was
introduced to J. NJ. Jacobs, the operator, who
very politely inquired my business. told him
had come to get my picture taken. He looked
at me with an air of Indifference and smiled
IRONICALLY as much as to say, Every much de-
formed TO say the least, was little cha
grined at the supposed idea; it was I, not him,
who had to bear my infirmities. After waiting n
considerable time l was invited into the OPERA
tors room, to sit for my picture. By the aid of
my crutches, and after hard struggle, l trudged
along side the chair. Here Mr. Jacobs took me
in hand to prepare me. THIS. with old age and
stffened joints, was no easy thing to do; though
tortures to me, but, sir, if you had witnessed
the operation you would have laughed heartily.
MIR. Jacobs worked considerable time, appa-
rently in the best of humor, to place me in a
sitting position but the inaexibility of my body,
the cracking of my joints like the cooking of SO
many pistols, was more endurable than his pa
tence, for at last he exclaimed, "Sir, what is the
matter?' Nothing" said l, ''but the rheuma-
tsm in my legs, back, arms and neck, and am
nearly GO years DID," "My God" calculated
Jacobs, II have some work before me-" SO he
tried again, when after excessive labor for fifteen
or twenty minutes he succeeded; but the excru-
ciatins pains suffered never shall forget, and
was often obliged to cry out, "Oh Jacobs, ia
cobs!' In calling a few days after for my pic
ture was really astonshed. Instead OF finding
decrept old man found man, to all appear
ances, not more than forty years old, cured of
his inhrmities, and able to walk without the as
sstance of crutches. / would say to all who are
laboring under old age and intirmities and have
a desire to be renovated, go to j. M. Jacobs,
Photographer, and sit for your pictures.

The Press ON the Supplemental Treaty.

The Times says that the vote of the Senate in
favor of the negotiation of the supplemental
treaty articles brings feeling of intense relief.
The verbal amendments cannot be objected to
by England and final settlement may be con-
sidered certain. The Senate has earned the
gratitude of the mercantile community, and the
majority of Senators have acted in sympathy
with the great mass of people who wished the
treaty to succeed.
The Herald pronOunces the Senates action a
national humiliation, and questions whether
the people will accept the amended treaty as a
final settlement of the account with England.
treaty secured by the humiliation of one of
the parties never will be productive of good,
and this one has been maintained by bringing
from Americans disgraceful concession. The
result was brought about by corrupt lobby pres
sure The settlement is between two admins
trations, not between two nations. England,
however, may yet rejectthe amended article, for
our surrender must be unconditional, and the
matter is not altogether disposed of.
II The Boston advertiser says the present aspect
OF the treaty question is, however, highly salts
factory, whatever may be the action of Great
Britain upon our amendment of her proposal
If she adopts it, all will be well; if she does
not, the treaty will probably fail, but we shall
have given the best possible evidence that it
failed through no fault of ours. Next to gain
ing verdict before the arbitratOrs is the inn
portance of convincing the world that we de-
sired to do right, and that we have~done right.
The whole course of diplomacy proves this.
The executive has been compelled to act ON its
own responsibility for long time, but the vote
OF the Senate is as nearly as possible vote of
confidence in the Administration and an APP
proval of what has been done already, with adj
vice for the future. Those statesmen and news
papers from which we get the wonderfully
statesmanlike opinion that the indirect claims
never ought to have been put in the Case, but
that being in, it is humiliating in us to agree
not to press them,-the supporters of this and
all others theories inconsistent with each other
and illogical in themselves that end in con-
clusion that the State Department has dis
graced the country, will find new occasion in
the action of the Senate to repeat their chorus
of disapprobation, but the country will general
ly agree that the result is fortunate one, and
that the country has been brought through a
very perplexing and unexpected difficulty with
not little skill and credit "a
