The War in Liberia.

Every enterprise of man must I'M
dergo test, and when nations are
concerned the test usually is war. The
republic of Liberia, which was founded
in colony of free blacks by the Amer
lean society in 1920, and in 1917 de-
clared free state, the territory having
been purchased from time to time from
the aboriginal owners, is now involved
in Il war with the aborigines which
promises to be of no little importance.
The cable dispatches state that hostili-
ties have commenced at Cape Palmas,
the aborigines being under command
of several educated natives: that there
was some fighting on the 18th of Sep
TENDER. in which fifty were killed and
wounded; and the Liberian government
had dispatched troops from Monrovia,
the scat of government, to the scene of
action, and that great battle was ex-
pected. Whether the Liberians, with
an instinct of filibustering implanted
by early associations, have been poach-
ing upon the manor of the aborigincs,
or the latter, excited by the intrigues
of European diplomacy, have detern-
incd to destroy republicanism in Africa,
are questions vet to be solved by the
dispatches But that war exists seems
to be certain, and probably no field
could be better chosen in which to
demonstrate the power and influence
Of the intelligent negro in combating
the ignorance and savagery of his own
race. There are, unfortunately, local
tiles in this country in which the inliu-
ences Of widespread civilization arc
almost overmatched by the combined
ignorance of the blacks and incendiary
of INSCRIPTIONS whites. but
there is no ground for the presumption
that a ''color war or any other war
growing out of the same causes Is
either necessary or probable.
The Liberians are so situated that
war may be Il necessity for their self
preservation. Their territory isscarcely
more than $4,000 square miles in ex-
tent, and their population is less than
half million. They have for their
neighbors some of the most savage
tribes, as well as some which have been
brought under the Indifferent influence
Of communication with European ma
tons. Should the war, as seems to be
apprehended, prove to be an important
one in point of aggrcssiveness on the
part of the aborigines, it is to be hoped
that the Liberians will be able to vim
iicate the uses and the force, moral
md material, of their superior intelli-
renee.

ONE HUNDRED MILLIONS.
a single Year. Production of the Mines
OF America.

Of America.
The year 1876 will rank as an event
full one in American mining. Whether
in the line of new and rich discoveries,
increased yield from old ones, or better
methods of taking out and reducing
ores, it is equally year of great pro-
gresS. The yield of precious metals in
the United States, which has for some
time fuctuated from $50, 100000 to
so, 600, 900 per year, will in 1876 ag-
@rcgate very nearly 100000, 900. 1t
is claimed also by those who have Civ
Ell the subject most attention that the
Weld in actual cash has been greater to
the number Of men employed, and the
average per cent. of profit higher, in
mining than in any branch of manu-
featuring or commerce. Since the pan
ic of 1873 mining seems to have passed
entirely from the domain of speculative
investment and become Il systcmatlzed
business, in which money Is made by
the same management and nice atten-
ton to details us in manufacturing.
been made in the reduction of "rebcl-
lious" ores, notably those of Colorado.
For instance, in Griffith district, in
that territory, the first ores produced
had to be sent abroad for reduction,
mostly to Swansea, Wales, but some
even to Germany. As late as 1867 the
mills which first succeeded in treating
the ores Of that vicinity charged 800
per ton for reducing, and did not claim
to exact more than sixty per cent. of
the silver contained in the ores, as
shown by fire assay. Under this sys-
TEN only the richest ores could be
proftably mined, and many of the
mines now most valuable necessarily
were abandoned for the time. Success
sive improvements have been made I'M
til now the average ores of that country
are reduced at charge to the miner of
but $50 per ton, and the freest ores for
so. According to the prevailing sys-
TEN the mill owners deduct the cost and
pay the miner for the remainder. Thus
ore Welding 100 ounces in silver per
ton is worth at the mill SO, the re
mainder being retained rs toll Ohvi-
uuSlv even ut this reduced rate ores

Secret Societies in Europe.

The secret societies of Europe have
assumed a new importance within the
last five years. The Masons of France
number SOC, 900, and are acknowledged
to be a great agitating force. No Ro-
man catholic can be a member of that
order IN England or any continental
country, and in even the United States
the most solemn of allthe sacraments,
that of extreme JUNCTION, will not be
administered until the diving man re-
nounce his connection with Freema-
sonry. The result Is that that popular
organization has become, certainly in
France, vigilant enemy of the church
of Rome. 1t must be confessed, how
ever, at least in Latin countries, that
the Masons, in what they call III ir
war upon the Jesuits, do not console
themselves with any other special form
OF religion, and so the charge IS freely
made that when they attack the Roman
catholics they find in those countries a
refuge in what is known as infideIitv.
The Odd Fellows of England, accord
ing to Mr.. William +. Foster, NJ. r.,
in his last speech at Bradford, numbers
close upon half million member
430,0 in England, and the rest in
colonies, Scotland and ireland, with Il
money capital of Gl,000,0O0. The
cooperative element among the Odd
Fellows of Great Britain Is its strong
point, and might be profitably initiated
among the working classes of the
United States
