noissance OF last July, says that the evidence
gathered is discouraging to the suppositiou that
there are large amounts of precious metals 10
that country, though its real wealth and value as
a fertile country are very great He thinks the
best use the government can make OF the Black
Hills for the next fifty years will be TO let the
Sioux keep it as reservation, where they
could be taught civilization aud Industry, and
result in relieving the nation Of their support.

How MARBLES ARE MADE. The chief place
of the manufacture Of marbles-those little
pieces of stone which contribute so largely to
the enjoyment OF boys-is at Obcrsteiu, on the
Maize, 10 Germany, where there are large agate
mills and quarries, the refuse of which is turn
ed to good paying account by being made into
small balls, employed by experts to knuckIe
with, and are mostly sent to the American
market The substance used 10 Saxony is a
hard, calcsreous stone, which is first broken 10
to small blocks, nearly square, by blows with a
hammer these are thrown by the hundred
or two into a small sort Of mill, which is form
ed Of fat, stationary slab of stone, with a
number of eccentric burrows upon its face. A
block of oak, or other hard wood, Of the dia-
metric size is placed over the stones and partly
resting upon them. The small block Of wood
is kept revolving while water flows upon the
stone slab. In about fifteen minutes the stones
are turoed into spheres, and then, being fit for
sale, are henceforth called marbles. One es-
adjustment, with but three mills turns out
sixty thousand marbles each week.

Recent OnS In Egynt

In 1867, through the kindness of Nubar
Pasha, was enabled to go up the Nile in
government steamer, and say good by to my
mother, prior to quitting Egypt for good. My
husband and lett Cairo late 10 February, and
stuck Oh various sandbanks, as the river was
very low. On our arrival at the different coal-
ing stations and stopping places the villages
seemed almost deserted, and there Was very
little food TO be bought. Our servant, Mo-
solved the mystery by explaining that We. be-
ing 10 government steamer, were supposed
TO be people who would be more likely to dis
tribute kicks than paras, and said be would
soou set that to rights.
So Mohammed tumbled over the steamer 8
side, and swimming like fish, went ashore,
and cutting off corner at a long bend in
the river, he entered the next village, where
we were to anchor, and proclaimed that 10
the steamer was the daughter OF the "Sitt
ell kebecr," the great lady las the Arabs
called my nlother), who, like the Slit,
was just and had heart that loved the
Arabs. From that time We had 20 more diff
cultes about food, save to make the people take
money. 10 Egypt it is wonderful how fast news
travels. ln many places We found people wait
ing with presents of milk ADD Arab bread, fowls
and eggs One had been cured by the 'Sitt el
kobeer, another had cousin to whom she had
been kind, to some one else she had given a
iil in her boat, and so on all the way up the
| Nile At Thebes we we're expected, a man
from Keneh having ridden on TO announce the
| glad tdiugs to my mother, and the Ul.ma &C.
tualIy sent the relig ious flags to decorate hel
house and meet US.
he sakkas (water -carriers) had sprinkled a
path for us from the rivers bank to her house,
and there was general rejoicing 10 the little vii
lage. Of course all the notabilities of the place
came to have look at the "Howaga' (genlle
man, really merchant) and the daughter OF the
SItl; and We had endless salaamng to DO. The
bedawees came and did fantasia under the bal
topy, gallopiug round, their lances stuck 10 the
ground, and shouting wildly. They insisted,
too, on accompanying Us to the tombs OF the
kings IN the valley opposite, and the ferry man
would not let us pay him for taking US across
the river. Then We had 10 duc with Seleem
Etfcndi, the Mahon Of Luxor, pleasant man,
with dear old wife. who would serve US, 10
spite Of my husbands presence.
Our procession to dinner was very funny,
and at the same tiwe touching. My mother
on her donkey, which led, Two Servants iu
front, with lanterns, aud the faithful Omer,
| dressed IN his best, carrying sweet dish he
had expended all his skill upon. My husband
on the other side OF NY mother, aud then more
laulcrn bearers. As we passed the people
crowded round and called on Allah TO bless us;
and some threw down their coaks for my moth
err to ride over while the women lifted the hem
of her dress TO their lips aod foreheads. -Lady
