AsBEsTUs. An asbestus mine has been
discovered in San Bernadino county.
California, on the northeastern side of
the San Jacinto Mountain. Asbestus
partakes Of the properties OF wood and
rock. It seems to have none Of the
properties OF metal. 1t is of various col
ors. mostly yellow on the top, then gray,
then yellow and blue. The blue has no
fber, and assemblies, except In touch,
common chalk. The other colors have a
delicate. short fiber; it can be plucke cd
like cotton, and resembles the cotton of
the cottonwood. Asbsstus can be NO.
ven into flexible cloth. and when united
to soue other substances il forms the
ssbestine. which can be moulded into
any shape or form. aud il durable like
rock. The great property Of asbestus for
for which it ia especially valuable. is it's
incombustibility. Though heated until
1t becomes red hot. it neither melts nor
burns. Asbestus in It's natural state ia
compact and heavy and resembles petri-
fed wood. A stock company has been
organized at Los Angeles to work the
mine.

RESULTING PROFIT.

The war cloud that still obscures the
sun Of peace in South Eastern Europe.
affords some interesting speculations in
reference to the benefit that would nc.
crue to this country. should a general
European var ensue. The first and
most noticeable effect would be the
mutual destruction of European com.
meroe. The commerce OF Great Britain
alone aggregates $4,000. 900 tons per
annum, Of which the portion in Aueri.
can bottoms is only 2.000. 900 tons or one
fortieth OF the whole. The United
States shares in the business is very in.
significant. carrying only one fourth

Of q general European war, this country
would be the leading neutral power.

the United States for protection, ~ being
the only country perfectly sure Of exem.

The whole world would beg us to trade

oepted. However profitable It would be
to attempt II, circumstances would DOM.
pei The country to sit idle. Before the
American Government could build q
navy adequate to the demand upon It,
the war would be over. Our navigation

production of American ship-yards. But
tho impetus to the country's industries,
would be almost incalculable. The
freight on our present foreign trade
amounts to 500. OOO.0 900 annually. Of
which the foreigner gets three.fourths.
The European war would enormously
increase our foreign trade in every di.
reotion. Our grain expectations would
DO doubled. Southern cotton would ad-
vance to almost any figure demanded for

looms could not afford to be idle though
English operatives fought instead OF

whe eler.s Letter.

The following is the conclusion OF
Wheeler's lengthy letter Of acceptance:
just obligations to public creditors,
credited when the Government was in
the ihroes OF tbreaten ned dissolution, are
Indispensable to the condition of its sal
defenders. and are to be kept with re-
iigions faith, as are all pledges subsidi-
AIRY thereto, and conforned Herewith.
In my judgment. the pledge of Congress
OF January IA, 1875. for the redemption
Of the notes Of the United States. in coin,
is the pighted faith OF the nation and
national honor. 1t is simply honesty
and justice to the people, whose perms-
noDt welfare and prosperity are depend.
ent upon true money as the basis of pc
cuniary transactions. All demand @
scrupulous observance Of this pledge,
and the duty OF Congress is to supple
ment II with such legislation as shall be
necessary. The ballot, the common
| school system and the public land sys-
TEN should be preserved in ali their Wig
or. while, in accordance with the spirit
Of the Constitution. all the public school
endowments should be secured by every
possible and proper guarantee against
| every form OF sectarian influence or cen.
| tralization. There should be the strictest
economy in the expenditures OF the Gov
| ernment, consistent with its effective ad-
ministration. and unnecessary offices
should be abolished. Office should be
conferred only on the basis of good char
acter and particular fitness. and should
be administered only IS public trusts and
not for private advantage. The foreQo-
ing are chief among the cardinal prin-
ciples Of the Republican party. and to
carry them into full practical effect. Is
the work II now has on hand. To the
| completion Of its great mission we ad-
dress ourselves in hope and confidence.
cheered and stimulated by the recolec-
ton OF Its past achievements; remember.
ing that, under God, 1t is to that party
That we are indebted. in this centennial
year OF our existence, for an unbroken
union, for the fact that there is no mas
ter or slave throughout our broad do
minions. and that emancipated millions
look upon the Republic as the symbol ef
q fulfilled declaration that all men are
created free and equal. and guaranty
OF their own quality, under the law, with
the most highly favored citizens OF the
land. To the intelligence and conscience
OF all who require good government b.,
with good money and universal pros
perity, the Republican party, not un-
mindful Of the imperfections and short
comings Of human organization, yet
with the honest purposes of its masses
promptly to retrieve all errors and pun
ish all offenders against the laws OF the
country, confidently submits its claims
for the continued support Of the Ameri-
can people.
