A STREET PANroMrNE-When n man
walking rapidly along the street sudden.
" stops and retraces his steps the
act itself is quite sufficient evidence
that some thought has occurred to him
which necessitates a change Of programme.
And yet, in nine cases out Of ten that man
will pause for a moment in apparently
profound contemplation, will perhaps
draw some letters from his pocket and
affect to examine them, will suddenly
assume an expression Of heroic decision,
and then with an exclamation Of annoy.
nnce rapidly return in the direction from
which he originally came. And all this
pantomime is for the purpose Of convinc.
ing some one whom he believes to he look
ing on, ibut who il mott that he has for.
gotten something (which would have been

again visited, and the sound OF the
pick falls with a dull thud in the
tough yellow clay as was predicted
at the time Of the former visit, the
crevice at the head OF the first cave
led to another cave. a passage way
had been worked through this crevice
distance Of twenty or thirty feet,
and then the miner came to u
chimney" which led to u chamber
below. This " chimney" the open
ing of which Is barely large enough
to permit q man to let himself down
its serpentine-like course, was
through an almost solid wall OF cube
mineral. Following this down about
eighteen feet, the lriner cafrie To an
other cave, and what ~sight met his
gaze! Great cubes and blocks OF
mineral protruded from its walls, or
blocked the path, and the cave WAS at
least three times the size Of the first.
Underneath the feet, imbedded In
the tough, yellow clay, were great,
solid masses of mineral which the
prod revealed, end the practiced eye
could safely estimate at least mill
lion pounds Of rich galena in sight,
knowing, to All absolute certainty,
that there were at least two or three
million pounds more concealed In
the clay, and what is more, the signs
are better now than In the start, for
another cave Of even greater richness
than this. The chimney goes farther.
down, and crevice leads north and
uouth, and at the western end of the
cave is another opening, similar to
the one in the first cave, which leads
to this, and by the thick vein Of lead
the miners know there is more be-
yond. Miners know that these indi-
cations mean series OF caves or
Openings" as the term goes, which
are sometimes repeated to the num-
Der Of five, one below the other. 1t
is the opinion of those best informed
in mining operations, and who have
engaged in mining in Dubuque for
thirty years, that next to the great
Langworthy mine, the Tom Levens
and one or two others, that have
yielded from five to ten million
pounds Of lead each, this is the rich
est mine that has been discovered in
these regions. One Of the parties,
who owns an eighth interest in the
mine, was offered yesterday an
amount that to ,aost of men would
be considered quite Il fortune for his
interest, but it was promptly de-
clined. These miners have got a.
:" Bird" as they term it, and they
propose to keep it.

An idea of the magnitude Of the
operations of the Postal Department
can he obtained by glance at the
detailed statement Of mail matter
originating at fifty of the largest
offices during the four weeks COM
mencing December |, 1874. The total
number Of packages, embracing mail
matter Of all classes, forwarded from
these offices during this period was
forty-one million two hundred and
forty-nine thousand nine hundred
and ninety, weighing four million
five hundred and forty-three thous-
and forty-eight pounds. Astonishing
rs these figures are, they convey but
feebly the immense amount of letters,
newspapers, magazines, pamphlets,
and occasional publications sent
through the mail. The packages in
many Instances contain from three to
four hundred letters, and the sacks of
printed matter, each of which repre-
sents package, often hold larger
number Of papers and periodicals
than that mentioned above. 1t is safe
to assume that If count of pieces
could BIO made monthly it would
show that the number of letters, etc,
handled and forwarded at these prin-
cipal offices would reach billions.
The offices doing the greatest BUSH
ness are New York, Philadelphia,
Boston, Chicago, st. Louis, Cincin-
natl, New Orleans, Baltimore, and
Washington. Their importance is in
the order mentioned.
Knoxville journal. [volume] (Knoxville, Iowa) 1874-1986, 1875-02-18

a recent New Orleans dispatch
says: The Bourbon organ, the
Bulletin, came out this morning, in q
double loaded editorial, which, for
its virus, has not been exceeded by
any Of its fire-eating articles since
the commencement of the troubles.
1T starts out with a warning to the
North west, and urges the patriots
tef that country to prepare at once
for an armed conflict with those who
are cosnpiring for forcible seizure
of the Republic; that Grant has for
his object third term, even if he
has to resort to force, and makes this
appeal /: Patriots of the North, let
the voice Of Grants victims in Lou
isiana warn you in time. Arm your
selves without delay; band your
selves together in military array !;
organize by States, and have your
worthy and rusty leaders chosen.
Let those who love liberty know
each other, and get used to concerted
action. Put aside funds, munitions,
and stores enough for long cam
paign. BE ready when duty de-
mandS it to take the field in such
numbers as to crush out tyrrany be-
fore it becomes supreme. You can
depend upon most of the old soldiers
Of the armies who fought for the
Government and Union, if you Or
ganize and prepare in due season.
Your country, your threatened liber-
ties, and the palpable encroachments,
plain intentions Of your enemies,
call for active preparation. In the
name Of liberty, we conjure you to
