An air OF mystery pervades many
households. and the place that once
welcomed the visit Of the young man
now holds out no further inducements.
When he knocks at the door a sound
OF rapid flight is heard, and his inamo-
rata receives him with flushed face and
embarrassed look that betokens con
fusion and restraint. His plea for the
mutual confidence that he considers
due to their tender relations falls un-
needed on the young lady's ears, and
he sadly departs, stricken to the soul
with the thought that his love and life
looks coldly on his addresses and is
weary of his company. Let him take
heart, for IL is but a momentary dis
ruption of loves young dream. All
this secresy and mystery is nothing
more than an effort to conceal from
prying eyes the masquerade costume
that his darling will wear at the ball,
and the making up of which his visits
interrupts. She will blossom out glo'
riously that evening as Night, or Sncw,
or q Flower or Gypsy Girl, or some
other charming character, and then the
course of true love will run smooth
once more.

Fire Rock.

The Richmond Company are trying
an experiment with an article of soap.
stone imported from South Carolina,
said to be a splendid material to resist
the intense heat that is. necessary in
our smelling operations. A Pittsburg
paper of a recent date, commenting on
the product of the South Carolina
quarry, stated that a number of blast
furnaces at that place were using the
stone, and that it lasted some three
months before it needed replacing.
Such being the case We fail to see how
IL can compete with u home pro-
duction. The fire rock from Pancake,
now universally used in Eureka,
stands the action Of the blast for four
aud five months before IL wears out,
and fills the bill in every particular.
The quarry Is easily worked, and
blocks of any needed size are delivered
at the reduction works by team, at low
figure. One argument used in favor
of the soapstone is hardly tensble. A
Virginia City paper, speaking OF the
same article Astounding at Jackson,
Aniador county, California, says IL Is
soft when taken from the quarry, and
under heat grows harder and harder.
That latter qualification would con-
denim it al once. If they could furnish
stone that would remain soft under the
action of heat, 1t would exactly meet
the requirements. The heat main
tanned at the mouth of the
tweers is over 2.000o, and un-
der It's influence all rock hardens and
grows brittle. flakes off and finally
wears out. Rocks into which clay en-
tiers largely as a constituent, instead of
silica or limestone, are more tenacious
and resist the action Of heat much
longer than silicious sandstones, gran
ties. etc., and are chosen for those
qualities. If the South Carolina soap
stone will not stand longer than three
months. there is very little fear of its
ever going into use in this district.

A Tragedy at lett.

News reached here yesterday, says
the Belmont Courier of the 18th, that
a bloody tragedy had occurred at Jett
District last Thursday. 1t appears
that James Griffin employed q squaw
to do his household work. AS Griffin
was leaving his cabin on Thursday
morning, to proceed to his work. an
Indian, armed with a shotgun, entered
and commenced a lively conversation
with the squaw, and before Griffin had
proceeded a distance OF 100 yards the
report of a gun broke On his ear, and
he immediately backed tracks for the
cabin. Upon reaching there he found
the squaw shot through the left breast
and the Indian reloading his gun.
Griffin took in the situation at q glance,
aud asked the Indian what he meant;
by way of reply the Indian raised his
gun "a take aim at Griffin, who i'm
mediately closed with him, and in the
| struggle for its possession he received
a severe wound on the left side of his
head. He succeeded, however, in get
ting the gun away from the Indian.
whom he Immediately struck on the
head with the butt end of il and killed
him. Griffin then went into Jefferson
and surrendered himself to the au-
thorities.
