The aggregate of gold and silver ex-
tracted from our mines in less than
thirty years will thus be seen to be
81, 427, $50, 900. Add the product of
1874, and it will exceed 1000, 900, 900.
1t is sad to reflect that of this vast sum
scarce $500, 900 remains in the country.
Our public policy has exchanged the
remainder for the manufactures of for
eign nations-in other words, TO pay the
balance of our imports over exports, in
other than the precious metals. And
that, too, whilst our banks are unable to
redeem their issues in specie. Had we
retained this vast amount of treasure,
this would have been the richest and
most prosperous nation on the face of
the earth, and there would have been no
question about resumption either. -

Match-Makiny.

The better kind of matches undergo
what is called =" frame dipping" which
consists in arranging the splints, already
cut to the desired length of the match,
in square wooden frames, at equal and
short distances from one another. The
composition is spread by a spatula on a
smooth stone or metallic surface, warmed
by steam, in uniform layer of some
thickness. The prepared frame is placed
horizontally upon this, so that all the
ends of the splintJ sink to the bottom of
the composition. When the frame is re
moved, each splint is found dipped with
a small button of paste, which in drying
acquires the ordinary ovoid shape.
After all the dipping has been done,
the matches are dried IN rooms especially
adapted for the purpose-artifciall
heated and fre-prCof. The last thing of
all is "boxing." The splints are re-
moved from the frames or loosened from
the bundles, as the case may be, by per-
sons who are known as "emptiers.
The same persons also act as " boxers
or " lidders," which name expresses the
duties they have to perform. "Cross-
cutting" is done prior to "frame-filling, "
but with bundles as was intimated, it
follows the dipping. The vapors of the
PHOSPHORUS escape in several of the
processes F; in mixing the composition,
dipping, drying and boxing. The bet
ter class of manufactures have separate
rooms for each of these, and only the
persons especially engaged in them can
inhale the poisonous emanations. But
in some instances the entire business is
done in one small room, and all the work
people are more or less exposed

A French Love Tragedy.

[Paris Correspondence ST. Louis Globe.l
The wedding was to take place
on Christmas day. Three weeks before
that date the affianced husband sought
Minnie, and told her he had deceived
himself /; that he could not and would
not abandon her that he loved her ten
times more than he ever could love the
other woman. Minnie was happy, and
yet she was wretched. She declared she
ought not to keep him that she must
not keep him. Finally he told her that
he did not believe his betrothed really
loved him. This shook her resolution.
She said no more. She determined,
however, TO see and judge for herself
She had learned where the fair Bostonian
was residing, and, making some ingeni-
Gus excuse, gained an interview, without
revealing her true character. She found
the American lovely that she was we'll
nigh heart-broken at the neglect of her
lover that she knew he had mistress /;
that she suspected he was still bound by
his old attachment that she was the
barrier between her and happiness. The
grisette went away. She saw the artist
no more, but she wrote him long letter,
telling him how much he had wronged
the beautiful girl he was engaged TO |;
that she worshipped him and would
make him happy. The next day Minnie
was dead in her lodgings, asphyxiated
by charcoal. She had deliberately de-
stroyed herself to secure the happiness
of another wom:n, and that woman her
rival.

"brain building and repairing" Toasted
crackers and toasted cheese, oysters raw
and cabbage, sardines, Goldfish and cream,
oyster salad, stewed tripe and green
peas, calves brains OH toast, oat groats
and cream, pancakes of all kinds, butter
milk and coffee. But if a sufficient
amount of the foregoing cannot be OBJ

well: Sausage, head-cheese, wurst, pigs
feet, fried pork, whale blubber stewed in
musk tallow, fish-tail soup, pot-pie of
chicken-skins, smier kase, Limburger
cheese, blood pudding, or beef-suet

and Conservative majority of from

aoith Wiltz as Speaker, the only obi
CATION required of our members be-
ing that the Conservatives would not
take any action against the existing
government ofa revolutionary c|'o'ac-
ter, but would in whatever action
they took comply strictly with the
forms of law. When it was discoy-
cred that Conservatives would listen
to and discuss the humiliating terms
afterwards embodied by Mr.. Wheeler
in his plan, of course Messrs. Hoa.
and Frye were only too glad, and they
RENTED to Mr.. Wheeler the manage
ment of the negotiation. But it is
apparent from this that if the eau
Gus had rejected in the outset
promptly and Indignantly the Vince
Ter proposition, the earlier one of
Hoar and Frye would have been re-
newed and an honorable adjustment
perfected before it was too late.

back on his own acts, his own words,

Message on Arkansas, which is q
premeditated attempt at anothe,
usurpation, paving the way for 8

overthrow Of the Arkansas State
Constitution and State Government
and placing finger-boards on the roy
al road to absolute and perpetual
power. His sole aim and desire
seem to be that the benignant rule O
the bayonet and the soft sway of til.
sword shall over all prevail.

The British Quarterly Review

The contents of The British Quar-
terly Review, for January, just re-
ceived from The Leonard Scott Pub
fishing Co., Al Barclay Street, New
York, are as follows:
I. Paparchy and Nationality.
II. Cox's History of Greece.
III. The Adornment of St. Paul's.
w. The Bibles Place in Science
of Religion.
V. Early Christian Inscriptions Of
France.
vi. The Greville Memoirs.
VII. Europe and Peace.
VIII. Erasmus-his Character.
Contemporary Literature.
The foregoing list of subjects is a
fresh demonstration of the fact so Of
ten stated, that this Review, in COM
mon with the others Of the series
regularly republished here, aims to
keep it's readers we'll informed on all
matters Of public interest.
In the first article the writer shows
that the controversy now waging in
Germany, is "deeply rooted in the
historical incompatibility of the pre-
tensions of the Papacy with the au
tonomy of the State;;" that the con-
flict was inevitable, and admits of no
evasion or compromise; and upon
every ground of Scripture, of reason,
of society, of history, and of human
ity," takes side with the civil against
the ecclesiastical power, in the strug-
gle for supremacy within the State.
"The History Of Greece" by G. W.
Cox, author of "The Mythology of
the Aryan Nations" receives much
commentator, especially for the dis
elimination between true history and
mere legend. The two volumes now
published conclude the Pcloponesian
War.
Article ". is best described in the
writer's own words: HE has sought
to present, in the data of Scriptural
religion, great body of scientific
facts which must remain positive
knowledge in the department of re-
ligion, whatever new knowledge may
arise in physical science"
Europe and Peace would have
been more aptly entitled Europe pre-
pairing for War;" and for war OF
terrific proportions. The descrip-
ton of the condition and temper OF
the nation affords little hope for the
continuance Of peace.
The other articles and the extend.
ed notices of Contemporary Litera-
ture bring more topics to the reader
attention than we have room to par,
ticularize.

Leonard Scott Publishing Co., al,
Barclay Street, N. Y. are as follows;

EXPLANATORY.

| The following document was pre-
jared for and handed in to the Mass
Meeting in New Orleans, in explains
ton of the, course of the members Of
tie Democratic caucus who favored
tie so-called compromise. 1t serves
tomake up further the history of the
enea.te:
| New ORLEANS,
| February 6, 1851
Citizens Of Neao Orleaus-It is with
profound regret that notice in the
evening papers an effort to cast a
stan and impose a stigma upon the
true Representatives of the State Of
louisiana.
As to the mover of the resolution
of adjustment, can state in behalf
Of myself and the members of the
Conservative caucus, that whatever
actionwe do take, will be dictated by
the highest sense of duty, by the
truest patriotism and devotion to our
ruined State. We are no traitors to
the trust reposed in us, and deserve
no such rebuke as that implied in
the call for mass meeting.
In behalf Of the members of the
caucus l appeal to our fellow-citizens
to suspend their judgment of our &C.
ton for short period, and urge
them to believe that under any and
all circumstances We shall act from a
firm conviction that what we do shall
ultimately rebound to the salvation
Of Louisiana. There is no corrup-
ton in our ranks, there is nothing
there but firm and unalterable de-
termination to take such measures as
Will save US now ana in the future.
Let there, I beg, be no action taken
that will throw fire. brand in our
ranks and possibly cause the calami-
ty of division among our people.
We are all gentlemen who have the
greatest confidence of our constitu-
ents, and I believe that no ADLER or
more patriotic House of Representa-
tives ever assembled in this State.
We intend, by our actions, to con-
tinue the confidence which our pres
ence here shows has been reposed in
u.s. When our final action shall be
taken our fellow citizens will find q
full justification Of our course in the
reasons we shall give to the world
for the determination we shall have
reached touching all their interests.
Very respectfully,

out furnishing chance at his Radi-
cal conscience. There was no use for
him, for old solid "phaladanx" had
already covered all the points and
stopped the leaks, hence he returned

kissing the big book. Most of our
people hereabouts will take the will
for the deed and credit Vic's account
accordingly.

THE CoURr.-"Hell's blazes, Jem,

matter to US of uncomfortable regret
that We should have lost scent of HER,
and that SHE should have SO we'll COW

The last we can trace HER SHE was on

get to New Orleans in time to shake
HER old rag before the Congressional
