New York, Oct /, 1873.
ABSENCE OF CRIME IN NEW YORK.
If is an i'll wind that blows good to no
one, our city may take little comfort by
reason of its present exemption from crime.
The lull may he only temporary, but i: is
something to have a rest The madness of
the Bulls and Bears of Wall street has done
good, unwittingly, by presenting all the
exciting features of circus and menagerie,
TO interest and amuse our dangerous class
es. 1t is too expensive an entertainment
to ne INDUCED in frequently. But when it
comes TO us unexpectedly, it is permissi-
BILE to note this remarkable feature of the
Panic. There is no chance for the conf
dence man to operate, now that he knows
not in whom to confde his story of great
expectations. Indeed he finds that greater
men than he have been playing at his lit
tie game, and on n gigantic scale. lie made
a martyr of the individual. They took a
nation into their confidence, and told them
OF the profits arising from railroads built
through deserts, over mountains, across
the forests prmeval of the North, and the
uninhabited prairies of the South. For
time they prospered, but day of reckon
ing came.
THE CRIsPINs ON A STRIKE.
strike is in progress among the Girls
pins in various shops in Warren, Murray,
and Chambers streets, and College place,
in which ladies' and misses shoes are
principally manufactured, in all number
ing about fifteen shops. At Newand's on
Murray street, fifteen men are said 10 have
suspended work. The men allege that for
the past eighteen months their employers
have from time to time cut down the prices
paid per pair, so that there has been re-
duclion of from five to eleven cents from
the original prices. They also say that their
employers have promised at various times,
TO resume the old prices but as they have
not yet done so, they will now compel
them TO If possible. 1t is said that there
are now about two hundred men on strike.
1t is also rumored among the men on the
street that three or four shops have acceded
to the demands Of the workmen. The men
say that they are, with tho present prices,
only able to earn inadequate wages, and
that the reduction of prices has lessened
them about 81 per week.
GossIP.-NEwsPAPER QUARREL.
Henry c. Bowen, proprietor of tho New
York Independent, has commenced an ac-
ton TO restrain the proprietors of the Chris
tian Union from publishing a statement in
which they set down their own circulation
at a sum much larger than that they ac-
cord to the Independent, Judge Fancher
lately refused an injunction upon the ap-
plcation OF Mr.. Bowen's Counsel, holding
that the proper remedy was by an action
for damages.

Gently started here, has some terrible hits
in its second number on the panic and its
cause. The Scythe takes the ground that
there will be the greatest crash ever known
before January, and shows why 1t is inev-
liable. The paper is great success.

NEW PROCESS FOR extracting GOLD
AND SILVER FROM COPPER PYRITEs. -
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 calculated 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 a metallic state by means
of sheets iron or iron scraps; bat If the
noble metals are to be separated, the
waters from the three first extractions
are collected, and the requisite quantity
Of iodide of potassium IN solution is adj
ded to them. After having been left
undisturbed for twenty-four hours, the
clear liquor is drawn of, the vessel is
then filed again, and iodide of potas-
SUM is added in short, the operation
is repoated) until a sufficiently large
quantity of precipiJate has collected.
This contains sulphate of lead and COP
per salts, besides iodides of gold and
silver. The salts of copper are washed
ont. whereupon the residue l. mixed
with zinc, in "a 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
