Nor A PRoPER NoMINATIoN.-It is
very doubtful whether the Democrats
In Louisiana have strengthened their
State ticket by putting up General
Nichols for Governor In place Of Colo
mel McEnery. The former was noted
for his cruelty while in the Confeder-
ate army, both to his W men and to
the Union prisoners, and his doctrines
are 10Y of the most ultra sort. His
nomination was the result of a weak
partisan compromise, and in fitness
is far below the selection Of ex-Mayor
Wilt for the place Of Lieutenant Gov
ernor on the same ticket.

A NEW MINING BOARD IN NEW

Efforts are being made In New York
for the formation of a new mining
board. Leading brokers have taken
the matter in hand and no doubt is en-
tertained of the success of the enter
prise. 1t Is for the best interests of
this and other mineral bearing sec
tons that it should, for there can be no

It would at least give US a choice of

which to develop some of the many
valuable mines ip this State now lying
dormant. Following is a copy of a

H'CEALlNGS.

A gentleman who has been pros
pecting in the vicinity of Pyramid ar
rived in Virginia City the other day,
bringing some fine specimens of asbes-
tos. He says there is a great abund-
ance Of the mineral in the region he
has been exploring. As a good deal
of asbestos is now being used for coat
ing boilers, steam drums, and steam
pipes, the newly discovered mine is
likely to prove of much value. The
asbestos lies in the crevices of the rock
over a great extent of country, look
ing, where exposed to the atmosphere,
somewhat like oakum. The streaks
of the mineral are from six inches to
two feet in width, and in many in
stances these small veins can be traced
for two or three hundred yards. What
the deposit may prove to be, on being
followed down, no one can say, but
the surface prospects certainly look
very promising.
We are indebted to the politeness of
Superintendent Crawford for the folio
wing items concerning the U. S.
Branch Mint at Carson: During the
present month subsidiary coin (half
dollars and quarters) will be turned
out to the amount of $400, 900. The gold
coinage (twenties) for the same period
will amount to $3.50, 900. Consolidated
Virginia bullion yields on an average
about forty five per cent. gold. Bullion
from the California mine yields as high
as sixty per cent. in gold. The whole
number of persons employed in the
Mint is ninety, sixteen of whom are
women.
On Thursday last, the chief timber
man in the Leopard mine shaft, al
Cornucopia, VIM. A. Scott, was struck
pm the head by a large bucket, weigh
ing some five hundred pounds, and
was driven through the platform or
which he was standing by the blow;
he then fell over two hundred feet to
the bottom of the shaft. A deathly
shrek, when the bucket struck him,
was his last word, rs he was doubtless
killed by the blow instead of the fall
The body was speedily recovered and
brought to the surface.

The richest heiress in the world
was married in London, the othel
day, when Hannah de Rothschild
the only daughter of the late Baron
Meyer de Rothschild, welded Lord
Rosebery, the noted turfman. The
late Baron was a great sporting man
and he was also very much attached
to Lord Rosebery, who has now ia
ken to himself one Of the most amia-
BILE if not the handsomest, Of all the
Rothschild ladies. Lord Rosebery
was born in 1847, and is consequently
in his twenty-ninth year. The late
Baron left $4O,OO0,OOO, and his
daughter, being his only child, re-
ceived $35, 100000 of it under her
fathers will. The Rothschild's are
very averse to these marriages; and
eyen when Hon. Eliot Yorke, about
two years ago, married Miss Annie de
Rothschild, the second daughter ol
Sir Anthony Rothschild, the feeling
about the marriage was so keen that
Sir Anthony forbade it. 1t took
place, however, though her father re.
fused to give her dowry. The ex,
equerry to the Duke of Edinburg
could afford to put up with the loss
for she had an income Of flS,000 pei
annum which she derived from hei
grandfather.

4 Monster Balloon to Carry Up
Fifty Persons.

Paris Correspondence New York World.
NJ. Clifford has devised the con-
structiqn of balloon for 1878 which
will far surpass any effort hitherto
made In this direction. This new
balloonlwill be formed of resisting
material, solid, absolutely impermea-
BILE to hydrogen gas, manufactured of
alternate sheets of linen and caout-
chouc, protected externally by seve-
raj layers of yarnish, and coated with
white paint to diminish the effects of
the sua's rays. This balloon will
have ascapacity of nearly 10000
cubic feet. and will form an immense
sphere, the greatest ever constructed,
the diameter of which will not be
less than 1l2 feet. When moored to
the ground the balloon will form
monumental dome 166 feet high, ex-
ceeding By Is feet the height of the
Arc de Ememphe. The balloon itself
will weigh $500 pounds, and to join
the pieces together Of which it is COM
posed will take nearly four miles of
sewing. with 90 miles of thread. The
car of the balloon will form a gallery
80 feet in circumference. A circular
space in the center of ten feet in di-
ameter will be reserved; in the GEN.
ter OF this space the cable, a power
tul rope Of ten inches in circumfer-
ence, will be joined to the upper cir
Gle by means of an apparatus which
will constantly Indicate the ascending
power Of the balloon. This aerial
will be held to the earth by
eight cables, attached to iron rings
fixed securely in masonry, and will be
above vast conical basin.
The car will be reached by two nova
BILE gangways, and from forty to fifty
persons will be taken on board at
each ascent. The cable will descend
to the bottom of the conical basin,
and by means of secure system of
wheels will be carried along tunnel
to be worked by an engine Of 200
horse power. This cable will be L.
730 feet in length. The captive bal
loon will be placed in the center Of a
inclosure, 333 feet in diane
Ter. 1t will tower above the beauti
ful gardens, and will form the most
dome in the Champ de
Mars. With this balloon it will be
possible to raise more than 200,
300 visitors 1850 feet above the
earth during the continuance Of
The Exhibition. They may con-
template from that height, sur
passing that of eleven Arcs de
rriomphe, the fine tableau of the
,ity of Paris and its surroundings.
N. Clifford proposes to construct this
enormous machine entirely at his
,wn expense. 1t will cost several
hundred thousand francs.

Sir William Thomson on the
Csnjter of the Earth.
[From the London Spectator.l

[Froh the London Spectator.l
A remarkable address has been de-
livered by Sir William Thomson, 10
the Physical Section of the British
Association, on the subject of the
fluid or solid nature of the earth's
kernel.
While not denying that certain
portions Of the earth's interior are in
a motion or fluid state, Sir William
Thomson maintained, on various
more or less recondite grounds, that
no large proportion Of the earth's in
terror can, by any possibility, be in
the condition of molten fluid. Il
may say, with almost perfect certain
ty, that whatever may be the relative
densities of rock, solid and melted,
at or about the temperature of lique-
faction, it is, l think, quite certain
that cold solid rock is denser than
hot melted rock; and no possible de-
gree of rigidity in the crust could
prevent it from breaking in pieces
and sinking wholly below the liquid
lava. Something like this may have
gone on, and probably did go on, for
thousands of years after solidifica-
ton commenced; surface portions of
the melted material losing heat,
freezing and sinking Immediately, or
growing to the thickness of few
meters where the surface would be
cool, and the whole solid dense
enough to sink. This process must
go on until the sunk portions of crust
build up from the bottom a sufficiently
close-ribbed skeleton or frame to al
low fresh incrustations to remain,
bridging across the now small areas
of lava-pools or lakes"
Thatis a striking picture of the
growth of the "round earth" which
was once supposed to have been made
from the first $50 fast that it can not
be moved" We are rather sorry to
be robbed of the belief in the CEN
trail lava ocean after all.

Some of the finest feelings of the hui
unions of life, and much of our happi-
ness depends upon the endearments OF
sOciety-especially the family circle, yet
in an instant these fine feelings may be
disturbed; as in the case Of FL. COUsENs,
where the hand of the assassin robbed
the parents of noble son, sister of an
affectionate brother, and our town of q
respectable and useful citizen.
Yet God who rules the universe
And uses means to call,
Has taken to its kindred earth
The mothers all in all.
A young man in the bloom of life,
All hearty, hale and fair,
Was called from home on Saturday night
At judgment to appear.
He leaves mother here to weep,
A fathers heart to bleed,
A sister who is kind and meek,
And feels brothers need.
oh! let US pray that God may send
The comforter divine,
And on that family to the end,
With beams of mercy shine.
But, if light attends the course he's
gone,
'Tis God that gave the rays,
And tits His hand that hides the sun
If darkness wells His days.
Young men, prepare to meet thy God,
Lest such may be your fate,
For when the assassin strikes the blow
To pray, will be too late.

All SAM AND SIN NOT.

Judge Sinnot fully explains the in
come business-[New York World.
Which I wish to remark,
And my language is plain,
That for ways that are dark,
And for tricks that are vain,
The reformers are very peculiar,
Which the same 1 would rise TO ex-
plain.
Sin Not was his name,
And shall not deny
That he failed to observe
What that name might imply,
But Sin Not was only lawyer,
And All Sam, he employed him to lie.
Twas the year sixty-two,
And soft were the skies,
And perhaps its inferred,
That All Sam was likewise,
But he played it that time on our uncle
In way that he thought mighty
wise.
Which they had a small game,
And All Sam took hand.
1t was swindle-the same
He did not understand
But he smiled as he swore to his in
come,
With smile that was child-like and
bland.
But the stocks that were "slid"
By that smiling Chinee,
And the funds that were hid,
1t was frightful to see.
And among them was that twenty thou
sand
Which the "Alton" had paid unto he.
But he was not so sly
As he meant for to be,
And he swore once too much
In that "Alton melee,"
And the boys got holt on the papers
And they went for that swearing
Chinee.
In the scene that ensued
He did not take hand,
But Sin Not was imbued
With the courage to stand
And declare such thing as a swindle
Was what Sam did not understand.
But his purse, which was long,
Had been used to conduct
The proceeds of the wrong
Into his own "usufruct;"
And they found that his neck was well
feathered,
From the numerous geese he had
plucked.
Which is why remark,
And do not complain,
That for ways that are dark,
And for tricks that are vain,
All Sam is the s'chief of his equals"
Which is the same shall ever MAIN
tain.
