Death Of Mrs. Senator Schurz.

Mrs. Schurz, the wife of ex-senator Carl
Schurz, died yesterday afternoon at her
husbands residence in this city, No. 40
West Thirty-second street, of puerperal fe-
yer. She gave birth on the evening of Sun
day, the 9Th inst. to a boy-her fifth child.
Great anxiety has been felt ever since by
the physicians as to her condition. For
some days she seemed easier, but on Tues
day morning the fever appeared to reach its
crisis, and since that time she has been
gradually sinking.
Mrs. Schurz was the daughter of we'll
known ard wealthy Hamburg family. Her
manriage to khe Senator was essentially a
love match. ,9se met him when he was
young, poor, q defeated revolutionist, an
exile from Pl ,lssia, .aad with price set up
on his head married him then, and has
been since the siost daVoted of wives and
mothers.
Senator Schurz is doubly afflicted by this
loss, as it is only few weeks since aais ven
cradle father died in Illinois. Mr.. Sehnrz
had visited him a short time before, but
was compelled to return to New York by
his anxiety concerning the health of his
wife. When dispatches came announcing
his fathers rapid define, he was unable to
start West again because of his wife's con-
dition, and was thus deprived of the mourn
full pleasure of soothing his fathers last
hours upon earth. He is now called sud-
denly to bear second and even greater be-
reavement. Mrs. Schurz leaves two grown
daughters, son three or four years old,
and the infant boy born ten days ago.-N

The Colonial Possessions of France.

France could once boast of the extent of
her colonial possessions in America, and
also for while in Asia. She has lost the
greater part of them, and possesses now
only the following: l, in Africa, Algeria
on the north coast several islands, sea-
ports, and military posts ON the banks of
the river Senegal, the island of Goree on
the coast of senegambia, south of Cape
Verd, Reunion Qormerly Bourbon Island),
southeast of that continent, in the Indian
Ocean, and the islands of Mayotte, Nossi-
Be, and Ste. Marie, near Madagascar 2,
in Asia, the districts of Pondicherry, Kari
ksl, Chandernagore, Yanaon, and Maize, in
Hindostan, and six provinces of Cochin
China 8, near the coast of North America,
the islands of st. Pierre and Miquelon 4,
in the Caribbean Sea, Martinique, Guade-
loupe, Marie -Galante, Les Saintes, Desi-
rade, and one-half st. Martin Island 5, In
South America, French Guiana, or Cay
enne /; 6, in the Pacific Ocean, the Marque-
sas Island, or Mendana Archipelago, tho
Loyalty Islands, and New Caledonia. Ia
hiti and dependencies, the Touamotou Is
lands. and Cambodia in Further India, are
under French protection. The population
of Algeria in 1872 was 2,414,21s; the ag-
gregate population of the other French col
onies amounted in 1872 to about 2, 800, 900 !;
that of the protected countries to 1924, 600.
The aggregate area of the colonies was es-
timated at $4,000 square miles that of
the protected countries at $500 square
miles.-Appletons' Amersean CycZopedia,

Testing Gold Ores.

Persons prospecting for gold quartz fire.
quently come upon lodes that contain sui
phurets, and are unable to tell whether the
ore is valuable until they have gone to the
expense of having it assayed. Put piece
of rock into the fire, say about the size of
your fist, and heat it to a cherry-red,
throughout, but do not get it to a white
heat, as it will fuse and run; take it out Of
the fire and give it a gentle shower bath,
so as to cool 1T off slowly, as too sudden a
cooling will slack up the rock. When cool,
examine the rock, and if it is rich it will
generally show the gold. But for surer
test, pulyerize it and "horn it out'' in the
usual way. This, perhaps, is not so sure a
way as test with acids, as it scarcely, if
ever, fails to bring the color; that is,
where the sulphuret is composed mostly of
iron and sulphur, or arsenic, this test is
good and will not fail. But where the sui
phuret is copper (and iron) the test is not
SO good, because the copper fuses and car
ries everything that comes in contact with
it, SO if there is any gold with it, it will be
covered or fused with copper.-IdaAo Aoa-

The Montana Protest.
From the Utah Mail March 20.

From the Utah Mail March 30.
In the Helena Independent of the 21st inst
we find protest against the proposed loan
Co., by the Territory of Montana, signed by
many of the citizens and tax payers of that
Territory.
The solid men of Montana appear to be
waking up to the fact that before tine heart
of the mining camps and business portion
of their Territory is reached by the proposed
western extension of the Northern Pacific
road, they will be called upon to deliver
the $3,000,O00 of bonds with no reliable
guarantees that the road will be built to a
point where the receipts will pay the inter-
est on the same, and with no real security
for the payment Of the principal.
We remember well the plausible argu-
ments which induced the people of Mime
sofa, years ago, under circumstances far
more favorable as regards security and
eventual prospect of repayment by the rail-
roads, to loan tLeir CT. lit in the way it is
now proposed that Montana shall do. The
disastrous result is familiar to every one ac-
qusinted with Minnesota affairs.
Montaoa can well ffc I'd to assist in build
ing standard gauge feet 81 inch road
from her mining and business districts to
the Central Pacific loa !, TINS connecting
speedily with Salt Lake, the best ore mar
ket on the continent, aud siIing her all out
'et east and west to the Atlantic and Pacific.
From personal intercourse with Montana
men, and from what we learn of European
pal ties in correspondence with Salt Lake
we feel assured that with the as
sistance proposed to be granted the North
ern Utah road, but which that road have
refused to accept on the terms proposed,
such road as we I've indicated can be
built within two ye rs from the date of
agreement on the pc ofMontana to render |
such assistance. In rs case she will run |
no risks and pay no money on uncertain |
but only when the stipulated |
is rendered. Whatever may |
be done by the Northern Pacific, Montana
needs and must have North and South |
with track requiring no reship-
ment of goods at the Junction with the Pa
cific roads.

The Failure of Fred Grants Bank.

Fred Grants wife has been well spoken
of by all, because she is an amiable, loyal
woman, good to the poor, whom she has
with her continually. Yet these very vir-
tues in her brothers become negative quail
ties. Lewis Dent was dishonest and took
fees as lawyer for the Presidents influ-
ence. They lacked the discernment Of real
official pride. have an incident to relate
which know to be true, and it is to the
credit of the Presidents son. He was in
duced to 60 into the business of banking at
Washington city with the son of that Judge
Sherman, of Ohio, who not long ago was
obliged to resign his Judgeship on account
Of the exposure of an attempt he made to
levy lobby charges on the estate of the late
Legrand Lockwood. The Hon. John Sher-
man, it is said, put up $4,000 for his
nephew. For Fred Grant, Hon. J. P. Jones
put up $4,000. The clearinghouse did
not prosper, as there was little or no legiti-
mate business for it. Fred Grant gave it
no attention. Young Sherman, as business
declined, endeavored to persuade young
Grant TO compel business for the firm
through his fathers influence. emo"
said Fred, "I-ll not permit my father to
have any interest or part in this house. I
won't ask him to aid me in any way. Ev-
erybody makes use of him and he has to
stand the brunt of it. We can close up the
place and can go back to my regiment"
He stuck to bis determination, at the risk
of much brow-beating. The house is clos
ed, but the President suffered no misappre-
hension flom it's transactions. George Al

Less Decolletee.

Frequently, in place of the corsage en-
tirely decolletee, the half-high corsage is
worn. This corsage opens square in front,
with a half-high back, and is always asso-
ciated with half f-long sleeves, that is to say
not coming below the elbow. This is a
fashion in favor with the Fauborg St. Ger
main even for balls. There are, in fact,
austere people in that circle who do not
permit corsages decolletee as those which
have been seen for several years. This
fashion of half-high corsages is more gen.
orally adopted for dinner toilettes orspring.
Frequently, associated with this, is the
long skirt slashed on the under edge so as
to show an underskirt of muslin covered
with small founces, which are edged with
narrow Valenciennes lace. The half-long
sleeves are often trimmed with wide guipure
lace turned back, in the manner of Annie
of Austria cuffs In this case the neck is
always trimmed with similar guipure lace
set on'dat. In guise of a necklace, young
girls and very young women often wear
black velvet ribbon, suspending, instead of
a medallion or cross, a flower, such as
fuchsia or a bind-weed, or any other flower
in the shape of bell. Moreover, flowers
are placed everywhere and worn at all
hours, on the slippers, as well as on the
cravat.

Pitiable.

The following, from the Deseret Nesos,
shows the depth Of mental degradation to
which Brigham Young consigns those who
dare differ from him in theory even. What
ever we may think of the moral independ-
ence of Miss Eliza r. Snow, her natural
and acquired abilities render her real opin-
ion upon matters requiring investigation
and intelligence of far greater weight than
those of her illiterate lord and master:
SALT LAKE CITY, March 10, 1876.
To soh0m 1t mag concern:
1t will be recollected that an article writ
ten by me, entitled "Mortal and Immol tai
Elements of the Human Body !; A Philo-
sophical Objection to the Resurrection Re-
moved" was published in the WomGn's Ec-
ponent in September, 1875, and that subse-
quent]y an article written and signed by
President Young appeared in the Deseret
Neaos, in which the former was pronounced
untrue.
Permit me to say that fully concur in
the views expressed by President Young,
and withdraw everything contained in my
article at variance Herewith, and trust nc,
La.ter-Day Saint may be led into errone-
GUS doctrine through anything written by
me. ELIZA r. Snow.

POLITICAL POINTS.

The New York Herald now bets ON
Hendricks.
The New York Eoening Post says that
Mr.. Conkling is dead as Presidential can
didate.
Mr.. Wash Mclean estimates that Conk-
ling will secure about dozen votes outside
of New York.
The New York Herald is getting to be
more and more of q Cenkling organ. The
Times must look to it's laurels
The Utica Herald (dem.) insists that
Horatio Seymour is not out of the field for
the Democratic Presidential nomination
and it ought to know.
Ohio, according to Halstead, would be
solid for Bristow if it were not for this
Hayes foolishness. AS it is, he can count
on Ohio on the second ballot, sure.
In an interview with leading politician
a Times reporter has learned that the Penn
sylvania delegation to Cincinnati will make
Hart ranft their first choice and Blaine sec
ond.
The political astronomers have galaxy
of thirteen stars for the Centennial year
from which to select the star of victory.
Five of these stars-Conkling, Fish, Ev-
arts, Morgan and Jay-are from New York;
two of them-Washburne and Grant-are
from Illinois; New England furnishes
Blaine and Jewell; New Jersey has Free
linghuysen, Indiana Morton, Kentucky
Bristow and Ohio Hayes-thirteen in all,
not counting Ben Butler and with Delaware

Gonernor Allen in Trouble.

The Inter Ocean of the 18th says: There
is a prospect that Ex-Governor William
Allen will become poor man in his old
age. The heirs of Duncan Macarthur have
commenced suit to eject Governor Allen
from his farm near Chilicothe, and compel
him to account for all rents and profits of
the estate. 1t is claimed that Duncan Nc
Arthur, who died in 1S49 and was a man
of great wealth, made will bequeathing all
his property to his wife and William Key,
to mold in trust until his youngest grand
child should become of age, when it was to
be divided among all the heirs. The will
was set aside, and large portions of the es-
tate came into possession of Mrs. Coons,
who afterward married Governor Allen.
The principal contestant having become of
age has instituted suit with others TO re-
cover. Should the decision be averse to
Governor Allen, it will take nearly all his
property and fortune to satisfy his heirs.

other places in Middle Tennessee, but is
vastly more extensive, ard shows that the

burying- place says: "Some considerable
excitement and curiosity took place a few
days since near Hillsboro, Coffee county,

many years, and plowed up mans skull
and other bones. After making further ex
animation they found that there was about
six acres of the graveyard. They were

How Much Work A HORSE CAN Do
At a meeting of the British Association att
Dublin, Mr.. Carlos Bianconi, of Caspel-
read letter relative to his extensive ear
establishment, after which gentlennam
stated that at Pickfo-d's, the great ENG
lish carriers, they could not work horse
more than ten miles day, and wished to
hear Bianconi's opinion ON the subject.
Mr.. B. stated that he found by experiences
that he could better work a horse eight
miles day for six days in the week than
six miles a day for seven days. By not
working on Sunday he effected saving of
twelve per cent. Mr.. Bianconi's opinion
on this point is of the highest Importance,
for he has 900 horses, working thirty-seyen
conveyances, which daily travel 4, e44 miles
L is also the result Of forty -fonr years ex-

POETRY.
A FADED GLOVE.

| Ny little granddaughter Who fain would know
Why, folded close in scented satin fine,
| keep relic, faded long ago
This pearl-gray, dainty, Withered glove of nine.
Listen; II tell you. 1t is fifty years
Since the day laid my treasure here.
| But yesterday to me the time appears;
| As IS ago to you, know, my dear.
| Upon this palm, now withered as my cheek.
| Love laid his first kiss, doubling and afraid;
| oh, swift and strong across me while speak
| Comes memory of Loves might. my little maid.
yet was so unconscious! Twas night
Some festal night; my sisters weie above,
Not ready quite; but l, cloaked all in white,
Waited below, and, fastening my glove,
Looked up with smiling speech to him who stood
Observing me, so still and SO intent,
l wondered somewhat at his quiet mood,
Till it flashed on me what the silence meant.
What sudden fire of dawn rsy SKY o'erspread!
What low melodous thuHder broke my calm!
Could be dreaming that this glorious head
Was bending low above my girlish palm7
His majesty of mien proclaimed him king;
His lowy gesture said, 't am Your slave :"
Beneath my foot the firm earth seemed to swing.
Unstable as storm-driven wind or wave
All, beautiful, and terrible and sweet
The matchless moment! Was it life or death,
Or day or night? For my heart ceased to beat,
But heaven and earth ch'pged in a single breath.
And, like harp some hand Of power doth smite
To sudden harmony. my sou awoke,
And, answering, rose to m his spirits height,
While not word the my TIC silence broke.
Twas but an instant Down the ecboino stair
Swept voices laughter, watts of melody
My sisters three, in draperies light as air;
Cut like dream the whole world seemed TO me,
AS steadying my whrling thoughts, stroye
To grasp a truth so wondrous, so divine.
shut this hand, this little tinted glove,
To keep its secret, mine and only mine.
And, like an empty show the brilliant fours
Passed by, with beauty, music, pleasure thronged
Phantasmagoria of light and flowers;
But only one delight to me belonged,
One thought, one wish one hope, one joy, one fear
One dizzy rapture, one star in the sky
The solemn sky that bent to bring God near;
would have been content that night to die.
Only touch upon this little glove
And 10! the lofty marvel which it wrought!
You wonder for as yet you know not love,
oh, sweet my child my lily yet unsought!
The glove is faded, but immotal Joy
Lives in the kiss; it's memory cannot fade:
And when Deaths clasp this pale hand shall destroy,
The sacred glove shall in my grave be laid.
Celia Iharter in Harper'S Magazine for April
