Quicksilver Waste.

At the new Almaden Quicksilver
Works, some years ago, 1t became
necessary to pull down a portion of
the old retorting furnaces to make
room for other machinery. Upon in
vestigation it was discovered that the
ground where the furnaces had stood
was completely saturated with quick
silver. The company set body of
hands to work upon the spot with
hydraulic pipes, and the amount Of
quicksilver which was sluiced out In a
short space Of time was prodigious.
The deeper the work proceeded, the
richer was the yield of mercury. Points
were reached where the liquid metal
could be dipped up with ladies, and it
was ascertained that even the bed rock
"a soft tertiary sandstone-was COM
pletely saturated with the liquid min
eral. Much of this porous rock was
quarried and retorted, but at length
the cost Of the work exceeded the profit,
and the work was abandoned. - FIR

SIX MILLIONS. two years ago,
DIR. J. WALKER, an old and prominent
physician Of California, discovered, by
actual experience upon his own sys'
tenn, a medicine which may honestly
be termed ga boon TO suffering hu-
mainly" Being combination of herb
aistic extracts, pungent and sour to
the taste, and yet possessed OF gentle
stimulative characteristics although
entirely free from alcoholic named
1t VINEGAR B1TTERs, and despite the
prejudice existing among his .profes-
sion, against all patented medicines,
he determined to brave the jeers OF his
brother practitioners, and give to sui
fering humanity the benefit of his acc1-
dental discovery. He did so, and the
benefits from It's use became known.
The demand increased, and immense
quantities were sold, at merely noml-
NAL price. It's merit is told in the fact
shat "in two years over SIX MILLIONS OF
bottles have been sold;" and still the
demand increases. Surely such man
should be ranked among the benefac

The Mobile (Alabama) Register
sympathisingly describes at length
the woes Of a youthful lover who was
Tilted by his chosen one but a little
while after she had accepted from
him a diamond engagement-ring. We
quote: He at(last asked her about
the matter, and she told him that
she loved another better than she
loved him, and to cap the climax, she
returned him his ring. Without
saying word, he pocketed the ring
and walked to the beach, where he
found three negroes in a.sailboat,
and gave them ten dollars to land
him in Mobile. During the trip he
took the ring from his pocket several
times, looked at it reluctantly, and
made several efforts 70 throw it over
board, but always changed his mind
before executing his intention. The
negroes watched him closely, and be-
ing under the impression that he was
crazy, they were terribly frightened.
AS he got to the government street
wharf he pitched the ring in the riv-
er and exclaimed: "Thus endeth the
first, lesson One of the negroes
watched the ring sink, and suddenly
rising, shouted: II golly a catfish
done swallowed dat ringv' 1t soon
spread among the negroes that very
valuable diamond ring had been swal-
lowed by a catfish, and in less than
an hour the wharves were crowded
with negroes fishing for catfish
The moment one was caught, it was
then and there dissected in the pres
ence of the excited crowd earnestly
watching the result. They ished
until long after dark, and dissected
some two or three hundred catfish,
but still no ring was found. As ear
ly as one o'clock, the next morning,
an excited crowd Of negroes were
clamoring at the market-gate for ad-
mission. When the gate was opened
tremendous rush was made for the
fish stalls, and some twenty or thirty
of the negroes exclaimed: ''I'll take
all de catfish you got" Others cried,
'Ill take all de market, and pay dou-
BILE price for 'em." OF course, eve
rything in the fish line resembling a
cat was bought, and butchered in the
twinkling of an eye, but still no ring
was found. Cats are still caught,
bought, stolen, begged and butchered
by the negroes fruitlessly.
