SSing.

Most of our readers have probably
tried and failed more or less ridiculously
to guess the hight of a stove pipe hat
and flour barrel. They will then be
able to believe the following Boston
tale of optical delusion. The Oriental
tea company of that city, for some
weeks past, has requested every one
making a purchase at the shop to try a
guess as to the capacity of the big tea
kettle which hung as a sign over the
door. Eavy guess was put on record,
and if correct was to win for the guesser
a prize in tea. A passion for guessing
is a Yankee weakness, and the popular
ity of this device was wonderful. 1t is
estimated that twelve thousand guesses
were on file, and when the test came off
Yesterday afternoon, a prOdigious crowd
of excited guessers were in attendance.
Really, the interest which the subject
had aroused was remarkably common
and wide spread. People tried every
formula known to the science of wine
or beer measure and the mystery of
cooperage. They measured the kettle
by triangulatlOn, and even surreptitious-
ly, at midnight, with a ladder and CALI
pers, running great risk of being arrest
ed as burglars. 1t should be added that
the kettle was announced to be made of
thin sheet copper. Its shape, of course
was rather peculiar Friday afternoon
the city measurer, in the presence OF a
big crowd, filled the pot with water and
certified that its contents 227 gallons, 2
quarts, one pint, and three gills. The
crowd of guessers was a crestfallen
gathering. Competent engineers had
guessed 600 gallons, incompetent engi-
neers, 500 Idiots had gone as high as
5000, while cautious guessers had bet
two quarts. Ten gallons was the esti-
mate of 100 persons, eight persons
guessed within three gills of the right
quantity, and seven more guessed 227
gallons. The rest of the twelve thOus-
and guessers ranged all the way from
two quarts to 5000 gallons. Yankees
evidently are not such good guessers as
has commonly been supposed.-Spr5ng-

The Recently Discovered Mines

FROM lu6 -DOSLOH <AuN6tblSSI.j .
Since the gold excitement of a quarter
of century ago, when the forty
Miners focked to the Pacific coast, there
has been no discovery of the precious
metals so important and yet exciting so
little general interest, as the develop
ments made during the past few months
in the little town of NewbuFy, in Essex
county. -Four months ago the existence
Of any such ores was known to but two
persons, and they were by no means
aware of the magnitude of their discov-
cry. When the matter got into the To-
cal papers, one gentleman of this city
thought it worth while to investigate it,
and the result has been, in brief, prepar-
alton for mining on an extensive scale,

No use of any longer taking the large,
repulsive, gripping, drastic and nauseOus
pills, composed of crude and bulky in
gredieRts, and put up in cheap wood or
pasteboard boxes, when we can, by
careful application Of chemical science,
extract all the cathartic and other med
icinal properties from the most valuable
roots and herbs, and concentrate them
into a minute Granule, scarcely larger
than a mustard seed, that can be readily
swallowed by those of the most sensitive
stomachs and fastidiOus tastes. Each of

as much cathartic power as is embodied

For some time past a writer in the

various gloomy predictions in regard to
the business of the country. lie was of
the opinion that property in railroads

value than property in slaves was found
to be in 1860, and be seemed to think
that every man would find, on looking

DREAMS OF WEALTH.

Thus it will be seen by the most skep-
teal, who have characterized the exca-
yatiOns as mere float ore, and not worthy
of the importance which has been at
tached to them, that if the hopes Of the
owners are falacious as to the great flu
ture for the mine, certainly 81, 500 net
profit per day is worthy of being taken
care of; and this from a single shaft
only twenty-five feet down, without OPP
Grating the drifts or lateral veins. Min
ing experience, however, has demon
strated that 81 assure vein is always
without bottom This vein is estimated
by biologists to extend in its general
direction twenty degrees east of north
about six or seven miles in length. Bear
ing this fact in mind, the wealth to be
reasonably expected from this ''find'
can only be estimated by comparison.
The Comstoek lode of Nevada, hitherto
supposed to be the richest silver mine in
the world, yields only $45 per ton on
the average, while that at Newbury-
port yields just double that The Mari

The New York Z, ,nyhg Post, hav-

which originally preared in the

nancial embarrassmcnts. Oliver
Ames, ID, one of the executors, re-
plies that all the information in his
possession, both as an executor and
an individual, convinces him that at
the time Mr.. Ames alleges he paid
the money to Mr.. Colfax and others,
he was not hard pressed by financial
embarrassments. He is also thor
oughly convinced that the payments
which Mr.. Ames claimed TO have
made to Mr.. Colfax and others were

Among the Republican papers
that are concerned for the fate of
their party, at this time, is the Chi
cago Tribune. Last Fall, through a
change in the proprietor, it changed
from an independent paper 10 a
Grant organ. But it begins to pro-
test-declares that the "ultra luna
tics" have "got the Republican par
~ into its present sorry plight" and
that the color line must be abolished.
We have always believed that the ne.
gro would some day become a heavy
load to the Republican party, and
the Tribune acknowledges that sucE
is already the case. But to throw
away the negro and lose his vote
what will become of Republican ma
iorities then? In either event that
party has a blue future to face.

Now. then. will the crusaders ex-

Now, then, will the crusaders ex-
plain? A few days ago the village of
Houstonia, Mo-, was destroyed by a
tornado. It was the cleanest sweep
ever seen. But one building in the
place through which the tornado
passed was spared, and that was a
saloon. Everything else, dwellings,
stores, churches, Good Templer hall
everything, high and low-went
down, all save the saloon. 1t was
the only saloon in town, too. "A
blacksmith's shop joined it on the
south, and a butchers shop. on the
north; both the latter were swept
away, but the saloon stood, with
whisky at the same price. Now,
the question arises, why was the rum
shop spared? Was the proprietor
the one godly man in all the town,
or was he too wicked to be dealt
with by a tornado, and has been left
to be drowned or burned instead of
blown away? We judge, from the
fact that he didn't put up the price
of whisky on the occasion that he is
a tender hearted soul, but appear
ances + deceiving, and his may
have been a shrewd plan to gain pop
ularity. The question is an inter
esting one, and deserves considera.
ton. Unless it is shown hal the
preservation of this saloon was an
accident merely, we shall see good
men flying to this business as a ref
uge against the hurricanes Of the
West, and saloons will become a:
