From the Belmont Courier OF last Week.
The large body Of water encountered
in the Belmont perpendicular shaft-of
which mention was made in our last is
suc-was found to be more than the
machinery now in use can manage, anu
after II seventy hour severe tax on the
pumps and machinery in the hope to
lower 1t so rs TO resume sinking, il
was decided TO abandon the undcrta-
king. During the time, now and then,
the water wonld recede II little, but as a
general thing the pumps could but
hold 1t ut about o given point.
We understand that the Typo Con-
soiidated Mining Company have COM
mcnccd the erection Of another furnace.
y portion Of the material was on the
ground the fore part Of the present
week.
Although the mines in this immediate
ncislihoriIood have not for some time
past, produced us much bullion as sonc
other districts, the general business of
the town continues very fair.
Work ON the new Courthouse is pro
crossing finely. The wills Of the first
story will be up in two or three days
from this time, providing the weather
continues favorable.

sulphur for Poultry.

There is no remedy and assistant so easily
obtained, SO harmless to the fowls, nor Sc
satisfactory in its results as sulphur. 1t being
in the system of animals to a small degree,
there is a greater affinity for it than there
otherwise would be. 1t can be administered
to the fowls by havingit in small box So that
they can help themselves, or by mixing it
with their food once week, or as often as
there are indications of vermin. Penetrating
as 1t does to every part of the system, all par
asites are quickly and surely destroyed. Also,
gapes are said to be prevented in chickens
Fowls need it more than most animals, their
feathers containing between four and five per
cent OF sulphur. Their eggs also have a
small quantity, which is noticed by the dis
coloring OF silver spoon when it comes in
contact with boiled egg. Applied extern
ally to the fowls when on the nest, to the
nest itself, or mixed with the soil in the dust
ing box, it is equally efficacious in destroying
yermin. 10 be used as fumigator of build
lngs, 1t is necessary to remove the fowls,
close the room or house, mix a little saltpetre
with the sulphur in an iron vessel, and apply
in the morning, and the doors and windows
opened in the afternoon for a thorough venti-
latiOn.
Lard mixed with sulphur in proper pro-
portions and applied as often as is necessary
to the feathers in the neck and back of young
and old turkeys is very good safe guard
against the ravages of foxes.
For our own profit and for the comfort of
the fowls, let US then use sulphur, orremedies
of a like nature.

An Exquisite Story by Lamartine.

| In the tribe of Neggedeh there was horse
whose fame was spread far and near, ana 8
BedOuln OF another tribe, by name Daher,
desired extremely to possess it. Having Of
tered IN vain for it his camels and his whole
! wealth, he hit at length upon the following
device, by which he hoped to gain the object of
his desire. He resolved to stain his face with
the juice of an herb, to clothe himself in
rags, to tie his legs and neck together, so as
to appear like lame beggar Thus equipped,
he went to wait for Naber, the owner of the
horse, who he knew was to pass that Way.
When he saw Naber approaching on his
beautiful steed, he cried out in a weak voice:
81 am poor stranger; for three days
have been unable to move from this spot to
seek tor food. l am dying; help me, and
heaven will reward you"
The Bedouin kindly offered to take him
upon his horse and carry him home; but the
rogue replied:
II cannot rise; l have no strength left.
Naber, touched with pity, dismounted, led
his horse to the spot, and with great difficulty
set the seeming beggar on it's back. But no
sooner did Daber feel himself in the saddle,
than he set spurs to the horse and galloped
OFT, calling out as he did so:,
1T is |, Daher. l have got the horse, and
am off with him.
Naber called after him to stop and listen.
Certain of not being pursued, he turned and
halted at short distance from Naber, who
was armed with spear.
''Since heaven has willed it, I wish you joy
of it; but do conjure you never to tell any
one how you obtained it."
"And why not" said Daher.
Because said the noble Arab, ''another
might be really i'll, and men would fear to
help him.
Daher was silent for moment, and then,
sprlnging from the horse, returned it to the
owner, embracing him. Naber made him
accompany hinl.to his tent, where they spent
q few days together, and became fast friends
for life.

jeff. Davis OH the Americans.

Jefferson Davis began his speech at Fulton,
Mo-, with the words 81 would that it
were poss BILE for me to say something to you
as acceptable as that once familiar shout
heard this morning was to me; that ring of
the American voice which, of whatever Sec
ton, of whatever political party it is, is
enough to strike terror into the heat of any
body except an American. For yours is the
glory to be people that have run over those
that others could not conquer. You marched
little band to the City of Mexico, and not
all the power of the great military govern
ment OF France conld reach the City triumph
ant. Thus it was that you carried on with
each other struggle which, when foreign
nations came to an equal conflict, lasted for
months, while yours endured for years. Un-
derstand me, then speak to you as Americans.
| lift myself out of whatever there is of sec
tional or party prejudice, and hail you all
as brethren.
