New PROCESS FOR ExTACTING GOLD
AED SILVER PROM COPPER PYRrrEs.-
This method, invented by F. Claudet,
is based upon the insolubility of the
iodides Of gold and silver After the
pyrites have been desulphurized by the
addition of salt, they are placed in bar
rels with false bottom and lixiviated
with acidulated water The wash water
consists of sulphate of soda, chloride of
copper, and some chloride of silver.
From this liquor the copper may be
precipitated IN metallic state by means
of sheets iron or iron scraps; but if the
noble metals are to be separated, the
waters from the three first extractions
are collected, and the requisite quantit
Of iodide of potassium in rDlution is adj
ded to them. After having been left
undisturbed for twenty four hours, the
clear liquor is drawn off, the vessel is
then filled again, and iodide of potas-
sium is added in short, the operation
is repeated) until sufficiently large
quantity of precipitate has collected
This contains sulphate of lead and cop
per salts, besides iodides of gold and
silver. The salts of cspper are washed
out, whereupon the residue Is mixed
with zinc, in finely divided form,
which combines with the iodine Hence
the result is a mixture of gold, silver
lead and some oxide of zinc, from which
it is easy to separate the noble metals.
Claudet produced in 1871. By this
process, from $500 tons of desulphur-
lied pyrites, 1888, ,242 kilogrammes silver
and 3,172 kilogrammes gold, at net
profit of S16, 16O.

Partisan Newspapers

French newspapers are celebrated for
containing very little of what an Ameri-
can or English reader would regard rs
news. To supply the place of domestic
Intelligence or foreign kilograms, how
ever, Partisan editors show remarkable
in yenuity in inventing pleasant stories,
with a sufficient appearance OF truth
about them, to pass current with their
readers, for genuine accounts of actual
occurrences. The following is a sample
of local item in Paris newspaper of
recent date: :" For some months the
employees of the octrol, or city toll of
the Porte Vanguard of Paris, observed
every evening at nightfall an elegant
dog cart, driven by gentleman of ir-
reproashable toilette. At the back sat
a groom, with the most correct English
physiognomy, his arms crossed on his
breast, stand-up collar, and looking as
grave as Charge d'Afaires signing a
treaty. The fsrnal question, =" Have
vou anything to declare ?" was always
answered in the negative, and the We
hicle passed on. 1t happened, however,
day or two back, that, by some awk-
wardness on the part of the driver, the
cart caught on the boundary of the
road. and though it was not overturned,
the shock was so violent and so sudden,
that the gentleman, losing his balance,
was flung out upon the ground. The
employees at the gate hastened to raise
and assist the sufferer. During this
time the groom had not moved from his
seat. "Come," said one of the men.
The groom preserved dignified silence.
= Come down, cried they angrily,
"don't YOU see your master is hurt p
SIS he drunk or stupid ?" The groom
preserved his English sang froid, and
the employees. giving him a shake, dis
covered. to their astonishment, that he
was made of zinc, and contained 33 gal
Ions of cognac.

Fellowship With God.

In all mems deepest feelings they do
acknowledge is an instinct irreprossi-
ble-that the one thing needful for
them is a loving intercourse with God.
All other things we need only qualified
ly, as wealth, or friends, or learning,
or the arts of life, but this one thing do
we need absolutely. It we're by itself
an essential bliss; yea, even in the loss
of worldly good. That an assured fel-
lowship with God must exercise and
satisfy the exact self-hood Of a man, is
a very intuition Of all men. Whereas
all worldly good, without God, does
but leave US restless and aching still.
All the things thou canst desire, the
passions gratified the appetite regaled.
the inebriation of power, the ministry
of art, the wonders Of science, the glow
of thought, sentiment and sensibility,
enterprise, friendship, the family, the
State-all these things, without God,
are only a triumph of the pulse,
dance Of the spirits, froth Of Joy, leav-
ing the soul more vapid than before.
Serious-minded men know it to DO so.
Nor Is it any mere thanking of God that
will satisfy US; neither the searching out
and admiring of his wonderful works.
but only the personal meeting with God.
A man will give his lifetime to the study
of n butterfly, or a rock, or star, and
fondly claim that he is converting wlth
God; but vainly thus will he whisper
peace. peace to his soul, when there IL
no peace. That butterfly was but a
