4 MINNESOTA man has patented pneu- matic tube for the transport of grain. The machinery of propulsion is fan, worked by steam, revolving in an air chamber which consists of two double cones, put base to base. The axle of the fan is hol- low. A tube runs through it, perforated at the sides and bottom. This tube connects the two pipes which enter the apiceS of the cones. The grain to be transported is poured into the entrance pipe. The revo- lutiOn of the fan sucks it into the connect ing tube, and then blows it ahead into the main pipe. At the same time the fan of the next station, twenty miles away, be- gins to whirl. Thus the grain is hurried forward by suction ahead and compressed air behind. The trouble with the theory seems to be that the grain cannot readily pass under thel influence Of two directly opposed currents of air in the same tube. At some point they must neutraliZe each other. Still, as the inventor has secured patent, it is fair to infer that his model works satisfactorily, so that he may have met this difficulty. He thinks his tube can carry 5000 bushels of wheat 960 miles an hour. Mail matter can make forty miles more in the same time. The eX- penSe of constructing tube between Chi cagO and New York, with carrying ca pacity of 40,000,000 bushels a year, is put at S4,000,000. A charge of twelve cents a bush el would pay the cost of construction in a year and leave SS00,000 for operating eX- penSes. Among the calculations it is said the savings to farmers, even when the company got such remunerative rates, would be great. Grain would be trans ported from Minnesota to tide-water for fifteen cents instead of fifty. This would save that State alone about Sl0,000,000 year.

THE Centennial bill was recommItted to-day, and as a majority of the Commit tee are opposed to it, there is no hope of its ren,a6 in tbn fCt 'G re ,1 commendation. The subject m ay be brought up in another shape, however, be- fore the close of the session, and the friends of the Centennial Exhibition though dis appointed at the action of the House, are not disheartened and will not relax their efforts to make the affair 8 success.

Mining Prospects.

From having had sad experience in run ing to the extremes of things, people of ten forget that there is mean. The wild mining settlements of California and Ne vada with their attendant ruin and finan- cial disaster have left reactionary effect throughout the entire Pacific coast. To such an extent is this so that discoveries which in olden times would have caused the life blood to thrill in the veins of eve ry old miner in the diggings, now fail to attract the attention of all save a wise few who believe that a good mine, ju- diciously worked, is q paying institution even if it isn't worth the wild cat estima- tion formerly placed on mining discover ies. We are glad that the days of mining settlements, with all their delirium of fever, are over. We don't want the pen niless thousands pouring in upon us, ex- pecting to find heaven upon earth in the shape of golden streets But we are none the less pleased that there are men of sense and means who have taken hold of the mining interests of this vicinity and realize their value.
 The Gro Blanco with it's extensions has attracted continued attention this past week. Messrs. Hopkins, Toole and party returned on Monday and give golden hued report of appearances. C.. o. Brown also returned this week from his second trip and supplies US with items of much interest. On the northwest extension of the Gro BlancO, MT. Brown says they have sunk shaft ten feet and found the vein well defined, with uniform width of twenty eight feet. This extension has been prospected for distance of over 100 yards, at different points and the ore pays from 100 to 300 dollars per ton. They have already four arrastras at work and are erecting more.
 But Mir Browns chief theme of thought and conversation is his new discovery, which he claims will rival if not exceed section of Arizona. This discovery he has named the E. B. Ward mine, after the great capitalist and mining operator of Michigan, and it is situated in q northerly direction from and In sight of the Gro Blanco, being about one and half miles distant from the latter. The vein has been traced on the surface over 800 yards and is of the average width of 150 feet. Near the eastern end of the mine is a fine paying vein, already developed, over twenty feet in width and in the vicinity there are over 100 tons of decomposed quartz lying loose on the surface, which will pay l50 dollars at least to the ton. MT. Brown has already men at work gathering and piling this valuable ore and is constructing arrastras, four of which were already completed at the time of his leaving. He will soon commence sinking on the mine and develop the wealth of which the surface indications give such rich promise.
 Before leaving this subject we might say that the Pretect ot Altar has lately re- piled to the communication of Governor Safford, in relation to the Gro Blanco mines, and the letter now awaits the Gov ernor's return

A LAY OF LIVING.
A WORLDLY MANS REMARKS TO PROFESSOR
 H. W. l..

H. W. L. Say not in rhyming riddle
 That things are not what they seem! Some folks must play second fiddle Floating chips move with the stream. Let the poet in his study
 Spin his rhymes in careless ease; If he had to labor would he Sing of fields and birds and trees? Daily work is on us pressing; Lie is short and meals are long; And we have no time for guessing The conundrums Of your song. Who can write so well of sorrow AS the man whom sorrow spares? Most of all they trouble borrow Who are most removed from cares. We must try to make a living, Be as honest as we may, Good advice to others giving, Heeding not what others say. Very real is life and earnest: We our destined course must run, Till at last inurned and furnaced, Friends shallssay of us-well done.

THE liberal REPUBLICAN
CONVENTION.

The Liberal Republican Conven-
ton came off here on Saturday the
18th inst, according to the pro-
gramme. 1t was made up of all the diff
ferent elements in politics-Demo-
Gratis, Republicans, men of no political
views whatever-Poland men, Morrill,
men, 0hey all claimed to be moral
men, consequently the convention
was large-full as large as the regular
convention held here in June last
O. M. Tinkham, of Pomtret, was cleo
ted chairman of the convention, and
r. A. Perkins, Of Woodstock, sec
rotary. The old party system of
nominating was adopted : each town
represented elected a committee of
three to nominate County Ticket.
After the organization was perfected
the committee on nominations retired
to deliberate. Then speeches were in
order, and the orthodox, the hetro-
doX, and the no dox at all communed
for the first time. How true the ad-
age that politics makes strange bed
fellows. Here the force of this say
ing was fully brought to our mind
Decatur Randall, of Reading, opened
the ball, and made some sharp points
on the administration, arranging it for
the commission of almost every sin
set forth in the decalogue. He was
heartily sustained. He was followed
by Mr. Cooke, Of Plymouth, who
also dashed the administration, and
the republican party generally, and
received loud applause. 1t was now
dinner.time, and it was voted to adj
journ till half past one o'clock, in
order to give the members time to
eat their crackers and cheese in some
horse-shed Or grocery.
On the assembling of the conven-
ton in the afternoon, speeches were
in order again, Poland being the
principal scapegoat, and the "honest
farmer" the "bald-headed dominic, "
and the "learned blacksmith" went for
him, with an occasional protest from
the house. The "bloated middleman"
had to take it too. They did not
know but they would let a merchant
or mechanic hue, but lawyer had
no rights that they were bound to re-
spect Well, lawyers had to take it
