UNLOCKING THE RocKs.-The great
cost OF silver and gold arises not SO much
from their scarcity in the earth, as the
difficulty of extracting them from their
stony combinations. DR.. ]. G. Aver, the
well known chemist Of Massachusetts, has
cut this gordian knot After having mer.
tied and received the gratitude Of half
mankind, by his remedies that cure their
diseases, he is now winning the other half,
by opening for them an easy road to the
exhaustless treasures Of the hills. he has
discovered and published chemical pro.

hardest rocks aud ores iriable like chalk,
so that the, precious metals are loosed
from their confinement, and easily gath.

rich mines is largely increased, while the
cost Of extracting the metals from the ore
is diminished. Either Is a great achieve.

lSSA sAS AAtSAAhSaSSAsl
The INTELLIaENcER recently published
a sermon by Rev. Henry Powers, in which
he denied the fall Of man in Eden. In
connection with this the following item Of
news Is somewhat significant. Its taken
from the newspapers Of last week:
THE Rev. Henry Powers has resigned
his position as pastor Of the Unitarian
Church Of the Messiah, in this city, saying
that the church will soon cease to exist as
an independent and useful religious BODY,
unless 1t radically changes tho spirit Of Ia
business management"
The New York Observer comics the
preceding item, and adds:
"What Is the matter with this church
which calls itself after the name Of the
Highest9 DR.. 0sgood was ia pastor. and
having learned the way Of the Lord 'more
perfectly, Joined the orthodox. Dr.. Hen.
worth succeeded him in the pastorate,
and went the same way out. And Mr..
Powers having exhausted his. powers
gives II up. AS he went from the ortho-
dox into the Unitarian body he. will prob,
ably stay there" ss-e q ~
Il seems that the kind of preaching Of
which that sermon Is a sample Is at least
not very eftectual in building up church.

Beneath the quaint old bridge Jon hear
The waves make music as they pass;
And winding TO the elm tree near,
You see the pathway through tho grass
Where we were wont TO walk, alas!
The river wanders as OF old
Beneath the shade Of willow tees;
The sunlit waters CLEAN like gold,
And ripple In the gentle breeze;
But lam far from thee and these.
The sky bends over broad and blue,
And, In the soft and mellow light.
You tread the lane our footsteps knew
In former days, when days were bright;
DO these dsys bring such sweet deli htI
And still that lane with grass Is green:
With frsgrALt flowers tho hanks are fair;
In golden gloss and silver ehoen
The bees still haunt tee balmy al;
But yoI will fail u mud me there.
Again, ppTchance, may notsee
The rustllng rows Of willow trees
(Which lent leSfy canopy
When We stroll5d underneath at easel:
For am lar from thee and these,
Our Joys forsake us. Soon docs spring
Pass by and for the summer call;
Coon do The birds loose heart u sing,
When fading leaves In autumn fall;
And winter Is the CLd OF all.

IRON AND NA1Ls.-The Chicago 7ri

market is quoted firm, under fair and
increasing demand, and prospects of 9

A Pittsburgh special in Saturdays Gin.

"Pig Iron is fairly active and firm, al

pared with lastsweek prices remain un-

on q basis Of q Sc card. There Is no
change in the card for Nails, but tho &C:

This last remark about no change in
the card is somewhat curious. The card
at Wheeling previous to Thursday last,
was "a 90. Now it is "a 12i. Perhaps
the old 81 25 card was never changed by
the Pittsburgh manufacturers, but even
If that was the case the adoption OF the
new one certainly involved a change.

made Of the famous rcd.pipe-stone
by the Indians.
The manufacturer Of the amber
stems and mouth-pleces forms an
important part of the business,
aud many beautiful and graceful
designs arc produced. None but
the best amber can be employed
for this purpose, and much skill is
needed on the part Of the work
man, owing to it's extreme brit
tlcness.
The prices Of pipes range from
S1.50 to $500, a0d even more. \
good, plain, serviceabIc pipe may
be bought ut from $50 TO sl5.-
Carved pipes are higher, and bring
more in proportion, bnt a great
deal depends on the style Of cary
ing. Some carved pipes are really
works of art, and, of course are
paid for as such. The modelers
are constantly on the lookout for
new designs, and beautiful studies
are continually being produced.
There is hardly anything in nature
that cannot be copied in meer-
schaum, and in New York a man
may have his own head repro
duccd in - = shape of i pipc-bowl
if he should .ancy it. The cigar
holders are also very pretty, and
bring high prices-somctimes as
much as s75-but, as with the
pipes, the price depends altogeth-
er upon the style Of carving.
When pipei is injured in the
smoking, or burned, as it is tech
nicaIIy called, it can be much i'm
proved by being rebciled, which
restores to the meerschaum its
power of absorption. The word
"in1proved' is used advisedIy, for
nothing will ever make a burned
meerschaum as good as new
This need never happen, however,
if proper care is taken not to heat
the pipe when first smoked.
Itis very possible that the ladies
of New York will soon come to
regard mecrschaum as indispensa-
ole to their comfort, not in the
shape of pipes and cigar oldcrs,
hut as q beautiier of the complex
ion, for it is proposed to grind
the chips OF an impalpable powder
to be used as a cosmetic.

allowed to end his days in all the
comfort that nature will permit.
The majority. however, arc turn
ed over to the tender mcrcies OF
the cruel to be used up, more or
less speedily, in rough and i'll re-
Quilted labor. To guard their IA
vorites from this unhappy end,
it is becoming i common practice
among considerate people to shoot
their horses when nc longer fit for
the carriage, though they may
still be far from worn out. Of
the nine million horses in the Uni
ted States, d million might fifty
be disposed Of in that way every
year, to make room for younger
and more serviceable animals. In
other words, our food supply
might be augmented by something
like thousand million pounds Of
good meat annually. We throw it
away-for prejudice !!
That this prejudice will be over
come in time, we have not the
slightest doubt. The tendency Of
our civilization is to multiply food
consumers while lcssening the rela-
tive number Of producers. As a
natural consequence we must be
more and more careful to avoid
unnecessary waste. Every avail
able source Of wholesome food
must be husbanded, and this
among th e m. Unfortunately
those who would be most directly
benefited by the addition Of horse
flesh to our list Of meats are Just
those whose prejudice against it is
most intense. Here, as in Europe,
it must first gain d place on the
tables Of the well-to.do.
Perhaps as simple a plan as
any for effecting this would be
the following: We have noticed
the growing custom Of shooting
horses when their term OF profit
able service has come to an end
by age or accident. Instead of
burying the carcasses or giving
them to the renderer to be convert
ed into soap grease and fertilizers,
the flesh might be properly dress
ed and distributed among those
who, from curiosity or conviction
Of its wholesomeness, might de-
sire to give it trial. If pains
were taken to announce this inten-
tion before hand, and to prove to
intending caters that the horses
were in good condition and free
from disease, there would be little
difficulty, we imagine, in disposing
of the choicer cuts. All that is
required is beginning, and this
course would insure it with the
least amount Of trouble and cost.
Who will make the experiment
and report the result?
Scientific american.

Two ANCIENT FAMILIES -

Two ANCIENT FAMILIEs.-Avery
searching investigation was
carried on, q few years ago, in the
north of England, by two families
who were hunting up their re-
spective ancestry.
The strife was great between
them, each being determined to
look back into antiquity farther
than the other.
One of the families, whose name
was Spencer, employed an artist
to paint a historic scene represen-
ting the building Of the ark oy
Noah and his sons, with its multi
tudinous cargo. On the gang
plank leading to the deck Of the
ark two men we're seen rolling up
. huge box, on one side Of which
was painted, in large letters, Gre
lies, Insignia and papers belonging
to the Spencer family"
This vas considered coup d
etat hard to beat, but the other
family, not to be cutdone in the
antedeluvian pretensions Of their
family name, prepared at great
cost and research a record of their
antiquity. In describing the e1-
ploits of one of their ancestors at
a . very early day, who was repre-
sentcd as a man Of great authori-
ty, this passage occurs: "Durlng
this wear Adam and Eve were driv-
en- out Of Paradise"

A NOVEL RACE.

Some forty years ago, the man.
ayers ofa race course near Browns
vile, on the Monongahela, in the
old Keystone State, published the
notice of a race, one-mile heats,
on a particular day for a purse Of
500, free for anything with four
legs and hair on. a man in the
neighborhood named Hays, had a
bull that he was in the habit of
riding to the mill with his bag of
corn, and he determined to enter
him for the race. He said nothing
about it to any one, but he rode
him around the track q number
of times on several bright nights,
and the bull had the hang of the
ground pretty well, and would
keep the right course. He rode
him with spurs, which the bull
considered particularly disagreea-
Bile, so much so that be always
beloved when they were applied
to his sides.
Ga the morning of the race Hays
came upon the ground "on horse
back' on his bull. Instead OF 4
saddle he had q dried ox-hide, the
head part Of which, with the horns
still! on. he had placed on his rump.
He carried short tin horn in his
hand. He rode up to the judges
stand and offered to enter the bull
for the race, but the owners of the
horses objected.
Hays appealed to the terms Of
the notice insisted that his bull
had flour legs and hair oD," and,
that therefore, he had e right to
enter him. After good deal Of
''cussin' and discussin'" the judges
declared themselves compelled to
decide that the bull had 6 right to
run, and he was entered according
Iv. When the time for starting
arrived, the bull and the horses
took their places. The horse
racers were out Of humor at being
bothered by the bull, and at the
burlesque which was intended;
but thought it would be over as
soon as the horses started. The
signal was given, and they did
start. Hays gave blast with lis
born and sank his spurs into the
bulls side, which bounded FORWARD
with a terrible below, at no trl-
fling speed, the dried ox-hide flop
ping up aud down rattling at ev-
cry jump, making a combination
of noises that had never been heard,
on 8 race course before.
The Newberry herald. [volume] (Newberry, S.C.) 1865-1884, 1874-10-14

The horses flew off the track
every one seemed to be seized
with sudden determination to
take the shortest cut to get out Of
the Redstone country, and not
one Of them could be brought
back in time to save their distance.
The purse was given to Hays IN.
der a great deal of hard swearing
on the part ofthe owners Of the
horses. A general row ensued,
but the fun Of the thing put the
crowd all on the side Of the bull.
The horsemen contended that they
were swindled out Of the purse,
and if it had not been for Hays
horn and ox-hide, which he ought
not to have been permitted to
bring upon the ground, the thing
would not have ended as it did.
Upon this, Hays told them that
his bull could beat any Of their
horses, and that if they would pus
up 500 against his purse be would
take off his oX-hide and leave &!s
horn and run fair race with thsm-
His offer was accepted and his
money staked. They agsin took
their places at the starting eost.
and the signal was giveR,-
Hays give his bull another touch
with his spurs, and the bull gave
another tremendous below. The
horses remembered the sound, and
thought all the rest was coming as
before. Away they went again,
in spite of the exertions of the
riders, while Hays gallopped the
bull around the track again and
won the money. From that time
| they nicknamed him Sham Hays.
He afterward removed to Ohio,
but his nickname stuck to him
US long as he lived.
