lum. The second story Consists Of two tower

4 tower crowns, as third story, the ingenious
structure. a cock, as O symbol Of watchfnlness,
stands on the top, directly orer the portal, When
the clock marks the first quarter the door Of the
issues from the background, comes forward to q

strikes the bell twice, and disappears; at the
third comes man in his prime; at the fourth
staff, who strikes the bell four times. Each
time the door closes Of itself. When the
hours are full, the door of the right pieca OF
the second story opens, and Death, as q
skeleton, scythe in hand, appears, and marks the
hour that we have the grand spectacle in the
representation OF the day Of Judgment. Then,
when Death has struck three blows on the little
bell, the cock on the top of the tower suddenly
flaps his wings, and Crows in q shrill tone; and,
after Death hath marked the twelfth hour With
hiH hammer, he crows again twice. Inme-
diately three angels, who stand as guardians in
central position, raise their trumpetB With
their right hands liz the left they hold swords)
and blow q blast toward each Of the four
quarters Of the earth. At the last blast,
the door OF the tower opens, and the resurrected
children OF earth appear, while the destroying
angel sinks out Of sight. Then, suddenly.
Christ desceends, surrounded BY angels. On his
left there is an angel who holds the scales OF
justice; on his right another carries the Book of
Life, which opens to show the alpha and omega
the beginning and the end. Christ waves his
hand, and instantly the good among the resur-
racted are separated from the wicked, the former
going to the right, the latter to the left. The
Archangel Michael salutes the good, while on
the other side stands the devil, radiant with
fendish delight-he can hardly wait for
the final sentence Of those who fall to
him., but, in obedience to the COM
mand Of the central figure, he
withdraws. The figure Of Christ raises its hand
again, with q threatening mein, and the accused

4 complete drama is here represented without
the aid Of 8 human hand. The movements are
calm, steady, and noiseless, with the exception
OF the threatening gnastures Of the figure Of
Christ and the movements of Lucifer, who darts
across the scene with lightning rapidity. OF
course the peculiar action Of theHe two figures is
Intentional on the part Of the artist, and adds

10 the Editor Of tie Omaha Herald:
In 1871, from Utah, wrote to Herald readers
my views Of Utah as 8 silver producing country,
which were looked upon by most people Is en-
tirely too sanguine. No shipments Of ore had
been made except by few mines, principally by
the Emma mine to England, This great mine
it netted 81 000,0 ,000 it's gross yield reaching $3
000, 900. It is very difficult to obtain data to
base an estimate Of the yield Of the whole Ter
rtory for 1871.
bullion by freight. Wells, Fargo & Co. carried
from the Salt Lake of6ce 81 ,452 291 worth Of re-
fined silver bullion. It will be safe to say that
the total yield reached s5,0o0,0oo: The product
Of 1879 viii be fully $40, ,000, ,001- The first quar-
" stopping work in Big and Little Cottonwoods
and American Fork Districts, and to q greater or
less extent in all the other districts. Still the
shipments from the Salt Lake Office for the
months Of January, February, and March
quarters Of 1879 they are much greater.
So that the shipments from that Office alone will
reach for the whole year $4,000, 900. OF the
shipments Of ores and bullion it is impossible
to make any correct estimate The Little Cot
tonwood District has yielded more than Sc, ,000,-
600, seven mines there, besides the Emma,
yielding more than $500, 600 each, and some
reaching 81, 400, 600, and with these figures,
enormous as they are, thia has been year Of
speculation and preparation rather than work
facilities, its greater number Of sme1ting and
refining works. with it's increased capital and
experience, will double the products Of 1872.
While in Utah, a few days since, + had the
great pleasure Of meeting Prof. J. E. Clayton,
Of Nevada, who Is the best living authority upon
Nevada mines. He estimates that the product
Of that State will be from so to SO per cent
greater than last year. The total product Of the
year be estimates It to be Sis, ,ooo. The Eu~
reka District produced, 81, 173 los in 1871. It
will be s., ,0o0, 900 in 1879. Phoebe or Ely Dis
trict yielded g, ,982 227 Last Jear. This year it
will exceed Sc, ,600, 900, and would have exceeded

and wrecked, and several buildings were bloWI

OF Afe. She was anchored OF Partridge 1alane
when the gale commenced. Both anchors were
out, but the fury Of the sea was such tnaf
nothing could resist it. The chalns
parted and she commenced drifting
toward the rocks. About o'clock Friday
evening she struck, and being inble to go te
pieces st any moment, the crew, six IN number,
looked on from the Bhore but could find no Way
to help them At length leaky, unseaworthy
Ife-boat was manned By eix brave men, and
started out to the relief OF the sufferers. The
progress OF the boat Was slow, and attended

The other two we're saved, one Of them uncon-

Exciting scenes attended the passage Of tho
steamer New Brunswick, which arrived at East
port Friday afternoon in the middle Of the snow
storm. and left for st. John at o'clock satur-
day morning, having on board more than hun
dred souls. When she reached the Wolves the
storm burst On her in all its fVry. When Point

cord!ngly proponnded 3 series Of questions TO
MN oy letter, which he, by the advice Of several
prominent temperance men, who oppose extreme
measures, did not answer. The writer's OF The
questions alluded to then circulated tho report
that General Browne had failed to treat their in
qult1es with proper respect, while Mr.. Hem
drIcke had returned answers that were entirely
satisfactory. No one ever saw Mr. Hendricks
6ut the whole scheme was gotten up to defeat
General Browne, who, it was alleged, had
formerly been addicted to the use Of
too much liquor. The second cause was
the failure Of General Browne to chal-
!enge Mr: Hendricks to make joint canvass
between rival candidates for Gubernatorial
honoTs. In such canvass, General Browne
would have acquitted himself with credit and
his is, political opponents would have been COM
appearance would have given the lie to the
cal1mnles circulated against him. In addition
to this, he could have forced Mr.. Hendricks to
defend Mr. Greeley and his record, which alone
would have lost Hendricks enough votes to have
resulted in his defeat. Another reason that is
believed to have contributed to Hendricks sue
cess, was the faot that the Chairman Of the DEM
ocfaflc State Central Committee had bet large
sums OF money upon Mr. Hendricks election as
Governor, and had induced others to do so in
all other candidates. we're traded of
The fact that General Browne received
2,o0o more votes than did President Grant shows
conclusively that his defeat Was not owing to his
unpopularity in his own party. The fact that
Mr. Hendricks received nearly 16, 900 more votes
than Mr. Greeley shows how much stronger .
place he occupied IN the affection Of his party
than did his candidate for the Presidency, and Is
high compliment to his ability and character.
The fact, however, that the Democracy complete
y abandoned the CANVASS after the October cleo
tion, and made no effort to get out the vote Of
their IL party for Greeley, may account for q part
Of the discrepancy.
The canvass, ind all things connected with it,
however, have ceased to be- matters Of public dis
cussion; and the Legislature, which is now in
session, bids fair to accomplish much for the
good OF the State. There is little or no party
feeling. INDIANA.

certain legislative acts for the benefit Of the Pa

station. One Of them is Vice President Of the

another, Secretary OF the Treasury. Three Sen

THE MARBLE AND LIMESTONE QUAR-
R1Es OF CAPE BREToN.--A recent number
OF the Halifax Reporter contains a descrip-
ton OF. the marble aud limestone quarries
of Cape Breton. The locality is noun
tain several hundred feet high in the im-
mediate vicinity of Lake Bras dor, and
therefore easily accessible. The marble
lies In the centre of the mountain, being
surrounded by enormous layers OF lime
stone. A company has been formed and
the work Of excavating the marble COM
menced This work has been greatly
facilitated by the existence of what is
known in mining nomenclature as u
Fault" which is a chasm some twelve
feet wide. extending from the surface to
the marble in the interior. The Company
have cxcavated the earth and rotten stone
in this chasm TO the depth OF nearly 100
feet and for length OF about 200 feet,
and have succeeded in laying bare vast
surface of marble. Behind this chasm the
deposit extends couple of miles, and
some four or five hundred yards right and
left.
