Details of the Great
Earthquake.

New York, July 6.
Mail advices from Barranquilla, Uni
ted States of Colombia, bring addition
al accounts of the destructive earth
quake at Cucuta. The story OF the
catastrophe is confirmed in all its hor'
rible details. A private letter. dated
Salazar, May 25th. says: The number
of the dead is calculated at three
quarters Of the entire population. The
few families which are saved are on
the outskirts of the city, or what was
the city, living on what they can pro-
cure; but they will soon be obliged to
retire, as the putrifaction OF the dead
will not allow them to remain. 1t Is
heartrending to see the wounded, who
cannot remain alive long. in their
present condition. Four hundred mules
were killed in the streets, and as there
is no one to remove them the stencil IS
becoming frightful.

WHERE Our SMALL CONS CoME FROM
1t may not be generally known that
the nickel deposit near the Gap, Lam
caster county pa. )is the only deposit
Of the ore worked in America. The
mine is on the high dividing line be-
tween Chester and Pequea valleys.
Besides nickel, copper, iron and lime,
stone are found in the same locality.
Nickel was discovered here about the
year 1856, though copper, which is ta-
ken from the same mine, was known
in this locality seventy years ago.
The ore has a gray color, is very
heavy, and so hard that it is mined en-
tirely by blasting. After the ore has
been broken into small fragments it is
put into kilns holding eighty to ninety
tons each, and subjected to heat pro-
duced at first by the burning of q.
small quantity of wood and continued
by the conversion Of the expelled gas.
1t is then put into smelling furnace
and undergoes treatment similar to
that Of iron ore. The product result
ing from this treatment is reduced to
powder by passing it between iron
rollers, and then shipped to Camden,
n. j., where complete separation is
made of the nickel and copper. The
price of pure nickel averages over 81
a pound. From 400 to 500 tons of
ore are taken from the mine per month,
and the mining and working Of this
requires the labor of lis hands,
few Cornish and the rest Americans

the adoption of the l4th, 18th, and 18th
amendments to the federal constitu-
ton closed great era in our politics
and marked the end forever of human
slavery, and of the struggles that
grew out Of that system. These
amendments have been accepted in
good faith by all political organixa-
tions and the people Of all sections;
hereafter all parties must stand upon
them, and our politics must turn upon
questions Of the present and future,
and not upon those Of the settled and
past; that the national government is
a government of limited and delegat-

the people must find their safeguards

CALAMITY IN 1CELAND.-About two

there must have been an eruption of

was dispatched from Copenhagen, and
that vessel has returned from Rejkja-

gan on Christmas, and has continued
ever since with scarcely any Interrupt

subterranean noises like thunder, which
extended through nearly two-thirds of

THE panic of 1873 has seriously affected
Immigration. 1t has not only decreased,
but the number of immigrants who have
emigrated back to the old country Is
somewhat remarkable. OF the $4,000
who sailed from New York to Europe
during the past year, G6 were steerage
passengers, $4,000 of whom are supposed
to have returned to their fatherland to
remain. The total number who arrived
at New York during the year was 140,.
447; so that over one-third as many went
out to stay as came in to stay if they like
it or can't get away.
These facts are somewhat curious. 1t
would seem that no mere panic like that
of September, 1873, would frighten lab.
orers away from this country. One
would suppose that if the condition Of
our working classes were SO much hap.
pier than in the old countries, as is so
gloriously described in the Fourth of Ju-
ly oratIons-one would suppose that they
would see the great contrast with then
own eyes and know, that with peren.

and not waste hard-earned cash in re.

world, we should not hesitate in clap
ping on the duty and setting the human
race, outside OF China and Japan, to
clapping for joy.
This argument of Boston commercial
journal is altogether too thin. The ad-
vance of prices in the producing coun-
tries was the result of diminished pro-
duction. The increase OF supply has not
kept pace with the increase of demand.
One cause for the decreased supply is
the conversion of tea plantations into
poppy fields Tor the SUPPLY of opium to
the millions of Chinese who have become
besotted with that narcotic. England
forced open the ports of China to opium,
and by aifording the poison which the
Emperor tried to exclude, infatuated the
people and created such demand for it
as has induced the substitution of the
poppy tor the tea culture, in many dis
itricts. Thus to enrich q few East India
monopolists England has caused loss to
all the tca-drinking people of the world!
As to coffee, it is well known that the
crop has been lighter for two years than
usual. This has caused its advance to
American consumers even above the
cost there in 1871, when there was duty
Of three cents per pound. The use Of
coffee in this country is rapidly on the
than the supply, and hence in 1871 even
The increased importation did not reduce
the cost at wholesale quito one-half a
cent per pound, although the duty was
reduced from five to three cents per
pound the previous year. Then, III 1874,
While our importation was larger than
that of 1870, the price was advanced five
cents per pound, although the remaining
duty of three cents was removed in 1872.
Two causes have co-operated to affect
the price Of cutfee--decreased produc-
tion and an increase Of demand in this
country beyond the increase of importu-
tions.
There are two reasons why the East
desiles the restoration OF the duty on tea
and coffee:
/. Because they want the duty lower
ed on The raw material tor their factories.
9. Because without these duties there
is danger Of the reimposi'ion of the H.
come tax. Her rich income men hate
this tax. The fact that it is the most
Just OF pil the taxes makes no difference.
They are determined to keep it down il
possible. They are very willing to draw
the revenue, that is SO largely expended
Ior their benefit, out Of the poor; but the
system that would make all pay accord
ing TO their ability is abhorred by them.
