nomination in point of numbers in the country,
is particularly gIeat-as notable, in fact, as the
portentous growth of Mormonism.

N1oKEL.-From long article in the New
York hardware Price Current, we extract
the following:
Nickel hal many very valuable qualities.
1t is maleable and ductile-can be drawn out
into even finer wire than iron, having a
still greater tenacity. 1t is less easily melted
than iron. 1t is magnetic, so that needles
of the compass could well be made of it,
though it looses it magneti. IN when heated
as hign as six uDdred and sixty degrees, re-
gaining it however, when cooled But the
quality on wh ch its chief use depends is its
susceptibility of brilliant lus re, and its
small liability 10 corrode. This led to its use,
many years ago, in the compound known as
German-silver. 1t is mixed for this in va
| rious proportions; but the best German sill
| yer is composed of nickel three parts, zinc
| three and halt parts, and copper, eight
| parts. The Chinese have made made a sim
liar alloy, though often using a much larger
| proportion of zinc.
Nickel is used in the coinage OF several
| co untries. 1t was introdu6 ed into our own
IN 1857, when the old copper cent was with
drawn and the present compound coin sub
stitut in its place. This is COM
| oosed of twelve parts OF nickel, and eighty
| eigh- of copper, to the hundred.
Nickel has been for several years used in
plating. Fault was at first found with nick
e-plated articles, because, though suscepti-
Bile OF high polish, tie plating did not firmly
adhere, being in dang Of peeling off from
| bending. knocks, or harr usage. 1t is
claimed, however, that more recent methods
obvate this difficulty. This plating now ap-
pears to be coming into common use for a
great vari ty of articles. Some of il certainly
should sa isfy even fastidious taste 10 point
of beauty.
"a .ar.e portion of the nickel used this
country has heretofore been imported from
England, Germany and Belgium. 1t comes
in small irregular shaped particles, known a.
grain-nickel, and in small cubes known as
cube nickel. Al present it is worth about
three liars per pound its cost being in
creased by high rae of duty. Nickel il
found in several places in this country, as al
Chatham, Conn, Lancaster, Pa, at the ia.
nous MInela-motte, Mo. Much of that
used at our mint has been obtained from tn,
Pennsylvania mine, though some from Mis-
souri, In behalf e the latter mine it has re-
Gently b,en claimed that it is 'the largest in
the world;' that the company owning it moi
long ago explored an area OF more than az
acre in extent to depth of five feet, and il
no place did the diamond drill pass hrougl
the deposit. How much larger the area ant
how much thicker the deposit may be, re
mains to be learned. Such statements neet
to be well vouched for, but if they ev. ap
proach the truth, it ought not to be necessar
to import nickel.

The slant-eyed Chinaman can discount the
Yankee on ingenuity. What Yankee would
ever have thought Of protecting small birds
from their larger prosecutors by tying whis-
ties to their tails? Yet this plan has been in
operation in the Flowery kingdom Tor thou
sand years. Doves are numerous there, but
they were SO preyed upon by the vultures
that tin whistle was placed upon the tails
OF many of them which makes a shrieking
noise when the bird pas es through the air
and the vuliures are frightened by this.
