Silver and Gold.
From the Rocky Mountain Here

From the Rocky Mountain Herald,4
Many people have the desire to know
thr value of gold and silver in bulk. The
following statement, from Professor +.
l.. Schirmer, Superintendent Of the
Branch Mint Of this city, may be relied
on as correct:
One ton (2,D00 pounds avoirdupois) Of
gold and slver contains y, l63 troy
ounces, and, therefore, the value OF a ton
OF pure gold is $6O2, ,i99 q, and ton OF
silver, $751; ,704 4S.
A, cuulc foot of pure gold weighs l..
5l8.H pounds ayoirdupois; cubic font
OF pure silver weigh 5000 pounds avoir-
dupois.
Ii there is per cent. of gold or silver
in a ton of ore, it contains 2S1.63 ounces
troy of either OF these metals.
The average fneness OF the Colorado
gold is TSl in l,G00, and the natural alloy
gold 7ol, silver 2Oo, copper 10; total
1000.
The calculations at the Mint are made
on the basis that 43 ounces OF standard
gold, or 300 fine (coin) IS worth $500, and
IL ounces OF silver, 800 fine (coin), i:
worth $l2 30.

The story of his Love.

1t has been published i'll some OF the
numerous biographies OF cX.Prcsidcnt
johnson that his first love affair wnS
one of Irritation upon the part Of the
lady in question, and that her treat
mcut OF Mr.. Johnson was bitter diSlp-
pointmcnt to him for many years. Such
tlo not happen to be the facts. Only so
late rs the Sunday before he died, says
an exchange, in after dinner CONVERSE
ton with his son and his private sccre-
tarv, Mr.. johnson detailed the circum-
stances attending the affair ms follows:
After nearly serving out his apprentice.
ship at Raleigh, he visited and engaged
ut Journey work Mt Laurens Courthouse,
South Carolina. While here H. met
and loved ii handsome and accomplished
lady Of excellent family. She returned
his affection with equal warmth and they
became cngngcd'to be married. When
the subject was brought to tho attention
OF her parents they objected to the
match, on account OF Mr.. Johnson'S
youth and poverty. He Immediately
went to the young lady, stated the result
of his proposition, and said to her that
the only course left to them was to purt
and drop tho whole matter as completely
rs though it mul never been" To this
proposal the lady did not seem well dis
posed, nnd she told Mr.. johnson that
She had every confidence in him, md
WIS wiling to intr,ist her life and their
mutual fortunes to his care. Hcbclicvcd
that honor demanded the course he had
indicated, and he so said. He feared
his motives might bo misconstrucl, and
this was something his pride could not
brook. And thus they parted. Ny.
johnson w,,s, indeed, disappointed, but
not by any action Of the lady whom he
had addressed. He met her only once
after, in 1855, on II subsequent visit to
Laurcns Courthouse, when sho was the
mother of IN interesting family. So
much for the truth Of history.

A simple and usually successful mode
of extracting needle or my piece Of
steel OF iron broken Of in the flesh, is
accomplished by the application Of Il
simple pocket magnet. Anacquaintancc
of ours had little daughter who recent
ly broke n needle of in her hand. \
surgeon was called, who made several
efforts to find the needle by probing and
incision, but without success. After the
surgeon had left, the mother conceived
tho idca of trying magnet ; one was
procured, and after one or two applica-
tiOns of it. tho broken fragment OF the
needle was discovered attachcdto the mag
net. This idea will be OF especial utili-
ty to workers in iron. Machine shop
surgery is not the most delicate nor least
painful, though men heroically undergo
it rather than stand thc loss OF time due
to m inilamcd eye or festercd finger.
Iron filings have way Of Unfolding
themselves in the eye which dcties al
most every ordinary means for cxtrac-
tion. For their removal, n small blunt.
pointed bar OF steel, well magnctiHed,
will be found excellent, and we should
recommend that workmcn liable to such
injuries keep such an instrument about
them. II would bc good plan to insert

WESTON. W. VA, MONDAY, AUGUST 23 1875 NO
SuIlStrOkc.

It is generally believed that cases Of
sunstroke occur instantly; that the suns
rays strike men down just MS does the
lightning. Now sunstroke is nothing
more than m exhaustion OF tho system
by which the circulation is rendered alb
normal. Ono day of sudden heat rarely
exhausts man 80 that the disease mp
pears. A man who works hard i'll tho
shade on Il hot day and so ovcrhcats
himself may be smittcn with sunstroke,
while another man who walks quietly in
the sunshine will experience no bad
effects from it. In order to keep cool,
and avoid danger from ovcrhcat, many
people drink vast quantities of ice water.
They fancy that by these means they
counteract the heating tendency OF the
weather. On the contrary, they take
the surcst means to induce sunstroke.
In this disease there is always u rush of
the blood to the head. Now when this
occurs there must be less blood i'll other
parts Of the body. Whatever drives the
blood away from any part OF tho body
below the head increases the pressure Of
blood on the brain. Ice water, OF course,
contracts the veins OF tho stomach, and
thus drives the blood away from that
organ. The nan who fears sunstrokc,
or in other words fears that there will be
too much blood in his veins, aud who,
therefore, drinks ice water, might Just as
well go and stand on his head. The lat
ter would probably be the less dangerous
course of the two. AL cooling drinks
sweetened with sugar arc heating to the
blood, particularly those containing wine
or spirits, and those WHO pArtakc of
them are peculiarly liable to sunstrokc.
Persistent fretting, and consequent ex-
hnustion OF tho nerves, is also one OF the
precedent conditions of the disease. An
exceptionally able physicianhas said that
mental labor never alone produces dis.
ease of the brain, but that "worry is
tho chief source OF softening OF the
brain, and that paralysis which is dis
tinct from apoplexy. Now, from all this,
whit We ought to do in warm weather
becomes evident. First, We should keep
our minds easy and contonted. Secondly,
We should drink nothing but moderately
cool water, and very little Of TINT. Ice
water is the bane of America, and prob
ably kills nearly MS many people rs alcO-
hol. Thirdly, We should avoid 80 far rs
is possible all work which overheats aud
exhausts us.
