The Supply Of the Precious Metals.

The statistics of production of gold
and silver are peculiarly interesting at
the present time, when the United States
and other countries are contemplating a
return to specie payments. Mr.. Valen-
tine, of Wells, Fargo & Co., reports that
the total product of both metals in North
America during the calendar year 1876
was $50, sS9, O37, against S74, 401 ,055 in
1874. The increase of nearly six and n
half millions was confined wholly to the
silver product. The gold pro!uct in
1875 was S26, $40, 476, against SIG, 1853, 776
in 1874. OF the total product of both
metals in 1875, "a, lS5,624 came from
Mexico and British Columbia, and the
remainder from the States and Terrific
ries of Union.

The Burial SWindles,

The Hartford Conn Times Middle
town correspondent, referring to the
frauds reported to exist in connection
with the burial of the soldiers who died
during the late war, and to the published
stories of mutilation of bodies, says:
But have n worse story, as told by q
sub-contractor in this locality, who was
engaged in the business. This sub. CON
tractor says thet straight lines a mile
in length we're given by surveyors to the
contractors, whose business it was to
place the headstones. In placing the
headstones, it was found that, in order
to keep them in line, the stones would
be placed on the breasts instead of at
the head of the bodies, and it would
therefore be necessary to break through
many of the coffins. The contractor
says that the expense was greater to dig
through wood, and the government
therefore paid him for all such cases $50
extra over his contract.
At this point the fraud, which had
been practiced on the governmental in the
burying of dead bodies by former par
ties, was brought to light. In breaking
through the coffins, instead of finding
the remains of some soldier, legs Of
mules were found in hundreds Of in
stances; and to-day headstones, which
are supposed to mark the last resting
place of some dead soldier, stand but
as monuments to the remains of mules.

"Big Benz Westminster.

A visit to the great clock at Westmin-
ster, with its famous hour bell, called
"Big Ben," must interest any visitor
not already familiar with the wonders of
London. To reach this marvellous clock
it is necessary to ascend nearly four
hundred steps; but the trouble is amply
repaid by the sight of some of the finest
views that can be had of the city and
suburbs. The face of the great time
piece is twenty-five feet and six inches
In diameter, and about seventy-two feet
In circumference. The minute baud, a
little over eleven feet in length,
weighs only twenty-eight pounds, being
hollow, and is made of copper. The
figures measure two feet from end to
end, and the minute dots are exactly one
foot apart. The working portion of the
clock occupies little space compared to
that required by the striking power.
The former can be wound up in ten
minutes, while the latter takes five hours
twice week. The weights of the first
are one and half hundEeawois wihiiiis
those OF the striking power equal one
and half tons. We're they allowed to
run down, they would have a reach of
one hundred and seventy five feet. The
pendulum itself weighs seven hundred
pounds, and is fifteen feet in length.
Reporting twice day to Greenwich, the
clock is kept 80 correct that it has only
varied the fraction of second in eighty
consecutive days. The weight of the
bells varies, but that of Big Ben is thir-
teen and half tons.

made to be worn with bustles.
The coat sleeves are very close fitting,
and have small cuffs, if any.
The aprons or overskirts of striped
goods suits are prettier when cut bias.
Bright ribbon bows again appear
among the braids and puffs of the hair.
Gay colors will be much more used
this spring than for some time hereto
fore.
Cashmere and silk composite suits are
quite as stylish as those entirely of
silk.
Raw silk Algerine suit;ng Is appropri-
ate and pretty for little children's COS
tunes.
Silks of dark colors, checked with
white hair lines, are much in vogue this
spring.

which run to the shoulder seams.
Brocades, stripes, serge effects, and

tatlons OF French dress goods.

An Old Hiding Place.

A few weeks ago Jacob KIinck, a
farmer near Fox Chase, Pa, was saving
down large chestnut tree when the
teeth of the saw came in contact with
some metallic substance. Fearing the
presence of something explosive, he di-
rected the workmen to saw on the other
side of the tree. They did so. After
the tree had been felled o gold watch.
two gold pencil cases and q gold chain
were found imbedded in the wood
eighteen inches from the surface. They
were wrapped in soiled sock. The tree
was sawn off close to the ground, and
they had evidently been hidden at the
junction of two roots and the wood had
grown over and inclosed them. The
watch was old fashioned, having a case
which could be detached, and was in
scribed with the date 174O. One of the
pencil cases was provided with a pen.
The other had only pencil and was
minus the seal. The chain was long and
was intended to pass around the neck of
the wearer. There was also q gold watch
key, which, however, did not fit the
watch. The tree had attained q great
age, being about six feet in diameter.
An old mansion once stood near by, and
it is supposed that the articles in dues-
ton were buried during the war of the
Revolution. The watch was uninjured,
except that the hands were rusted off.
