MINES OF VICTORIA.
(From The London Times

The mineral statistics of the colony OF
Victoria for the year 1874 have been pre-
sented to the Parliament. According to
them the amount of gold raised, as calcu-
lated from returns made by managers OF
banks and others who are purchasers OF
gold, was in 1871, 1890, 844oz ; in 1879,
1,2I9,094oz.; in 1878, 1,162,492oz. /; and
in 1874, 1,lO5, l15oz. The mean number
Of miners employed in 1874 was 5,545 less
than in 1878. In 1866 the mean number
Of miners was 1851, and the decrease in
the eight years succeeding was 27'O65.
Of the miners employed in 1874, 1906
were Chinese, who were mostly engaged
in shallow "aIluvial workings. The value OF
the machinery and appliances used on the
gold fields in 1874 was .92 ,078,9 36, the
total area of auriferous ground worked
upon 1868 square miles, and the number
of distinct quartz reefs, 3,399. One nun
dred and. eighty tons of silver ore were
raised during the year, and 11,906oz. OF
silver obtained. The exports of tin ore
amounted ito 112 tons II cwE of tin, to
86,O16Ib land of copper, to 10 tons 2cwt.
There was raised during the year 5S8 tons
7 cwt. of anthony ores, and 224 tons OF
ore and 231 tons of anthony regulus were
exported. The quantity of lead ore raised
was III tons ot.iron ore, 1870 tons of coal,
2.909 tons of Ignite, IS tons; of states,
IS tons and of tagging, 1861 tons. The
number of diamonds reported to have been
discovered in the colony is as follws up
to the 31st of December 1878, 100 from
the LIST of January to the 3lst of Decem-

wayman for three years, and murdered q
man with whom he was travelling, after
which he had the temerity to return to the
settlement in the dead mans clothes. While
being sentenced he laughed in the Judges
face. Campbell, a negro, in company
with his brother, ID years of age, and
Frank Butler, murdered a man named Ross,
with whom they were at variance. Butler
and Campbell were both sentenced to death,
but the former, in attempting to escape,
was shot dead. James Moore was a
professional horse thief, highwayman, and
murderer. Smoker, the Man-Killer.
borrowed q mans gun and shot him with
it, but was seen by some neighbours, who,
though unable to stop the commission Of
the crime, gave evidence upon which its
perpetrator was convicted. Fooy killed
a man named Naf while they we're
travelling together, and his conviction was
principally owing to his having in a weak
moment confessed his crime to a woman he
was intimate with, but who subsequently
quarreIIed with and betrayed him.

From The Scotsman.)

The Royal Danish mail steamer Diana,
concerning the safety of which there have
been some apprehensions, arrived at Gran
ton on Tuesday (Sept. 15) from Iceland.
The Diana left Reykjavik on Sunday week
last, and on the two following days ex-
perienced terrific weather. She had
on board 90 passengers and AZ ponies.
During the storm, before reaching Farce,
ten of the ponies shipped were killed in
the hold of the vessel. Mr.. John Sigursen,
a prominent member of the Reform party
in the Icelaudic House of Representatives,
is a passenger in the Diana for Copenha-
gen. Captain Dahl, proprietor of the new
coal and iron mines in Farce, is also on
board, and brings specimens of the iron
stone for analysis at Copenhagen.

PUBLIC SECURITY IN ARKANSAS.
(FrOm the GIo6e.)

Six. men were hanged IN the Ord Sept. at
Fort Smith, Arkansas. Eight men bad
been sentenced to death at the previous
sitting of the Federal Court, but one was
killed afterwards while attempting to
escape, and the sentence of the other was
committed to imprisonment for life. The
names of the men who were executed were
James 81. Moore, white +; Daniel Fl. Evans,
white; Samuel W. Fooy, quarter Chero-
kee Smoker Man-Killer, full blood

and John Wilmington, white. Whiting

the murdered mans son while riding the

that they;have come off with flying. colours.
Not, even the tall chimneys standing, with
out any protection, so feet clear of the
roof, suffered in the slightest. The long
pier 512 feet into the sea had a severe
trial-the waves driven by the wild west
wind rushed under the jetty and striking
against the strong hardwood braces broke
through the two inch openings between
the p~ianking and threw their spray six or
eight feet into the air. Still the jetty
stood like a rock and not a stick was
shaken; not a plank loosened. This rude
test is valuable to the public as a proof of
the durable and solid way in which Messrs.
Fawcett Preston & Co. have carried out
their contract.
During the gale a barge riding at anchor
on q short chain was rolled over and filled
close in shore by a huge wave.
1t was barely light on Thursday morn
ing when from the buildings on the hill
figures could be discerned moving about
upon the pier. Though the wind was
still vicious, the waves were breaking
heavily they were volunteers among the
old workmen who have worked at
the Factory from the frst-who thus
evinced their interest in their work and
their devotion to their employees by going
down unsolicited SO long before the regu-
lar work hour, and striving to put the To-
connective from damage. The sunken barge
was we'll secured and everything made
snug We are glad to say that Mr.. Muir
ray marked his appreciation of these mems
conduct by a liberal reward.
Things are fast drawing to a close in the
Factory. The Forest King came in last
Saturday with machinery, cement, animal
charcoal, and the steamer Jamaica is ex-
pected in a few days with the balance of the
machinery.
The work on the railway is not so pro-
g~ressive. The weather prevents the track
from consolidating and the locomotive
staggers over the softer parts. But with
energy and perseverance we hope to see q
trial of the whole thing in November.
AS regards the effect of the gale on the
canes of contributories to the Usine we
learn that one or two estates have been
flooded and much %alluvial and vegetable
matter left on them but that unfortunately
the sun has not evapOrated quite as much
as might be desired. The canes on one
or two other estates have been so twisted
about by the wind that it is most difficult
to pass through and repair them. This
will be the rats opportunity.

Constitutional Limitations.

Missouri is not the only state to
propose limitations on law-making,
ordinance making and order-making
bodies. Several other states are
setting their pegs down with the
same object. The people of New
Jersey are to vote next monthta-e
series or amendments, nearly all of
which are prohibitory in their ma
ture, forbidding the grant of money,
lands or credit by the Legislature or
by municipal corporations to rail-
roads and other corporate bodies;
restricting the passage of laws, and
allowing the governor TO veto one
item in an appropriation bill with
out vetoing the whole bill. The
people of California also are to vote
on an extended list of amendments
To The constitution, some of which
the sections in the Missouri new
constitution, and all Of which are
restrictive of the authority of the
Legislature, county authorities and
municipal bodies, and of the dis
erection of public officials. These
constitutional movements indicate a
general self-protective effort of the
people to guard their individual lib
critics aud property form the ire
sponsible functionaries who to of.
ten WELD the power OF levyiDg and
spending taxes.
