The Record Union of the 9th played
a little game on its readers, the same
game many others played during the
war. The issue Of the above date
that was received at this Office was
entirely different from all others re-
ceived in the Basin of the same date.
The one we received contained none
of the dispatches telling of desponden-
cy among Republicans at Washington,
as did the others, and was undoubted-
ly sent here by mistake. 1t was a
regular Republican issue, and un-
doubtedly intended to be sent to some
Republican community. This thing
of printing papers, and then taking
out over two columns and inserting
other matter is altogether too thin in
this enlightened age, and any paper
that practices such INSCRIPTIONS
means to increase it's subscription
ought not to be patronized at all. The
Union, before it fell into the hands of
the proprietors of the Record, was a
reliable paper, but has deprecated
wonderfully since the change.

A WONDERFUL CLocK.-An astro-
nomical clock is one of the Nantucket
Mass wonders. TWAS commenced
in 1888 and wound up July 4, 1890.
The sun and moon rise and set in the
clock in correct oppositions to the lu-
minaries in the heaven. 1t keeps the
motions of all the moons nodes around
the ccliptic, which takes eighteen
years and two hundred and twenty
five days in the revolution. and the
wheel that performs the revolution re-
quires the same length of time to
make its circuit, being all the time in
motion. One of the. wheels that keeps
the date of the year is century in
making a revolution, moving one
notch in every ten years.

UNTOLD WEALTH DISCLOSED

UNTOLD WEALTH DISCLOSED BY 4
LUCKY FAL1.-Perhaps richer speci
mems, but certainly no more beautiful
ones have ever been taken from any
mine than are now being obtained
from a recently discovered lode in
Jimtown. The story runs that fol-
months the miners in going to and
from their daily labors, have travelled
along a certain path, wearing the
earth away to rock. A vein was
thus brought to light which presented
no attractions to the prospector, and
was trod upon as of no account.
A laborer, two weeks ago, swung a
sledge upon his shoulder and went
early in the morning to his accus-
toned toll upon the mountain side.
Reaching the vein, he carelessly al
lowed the heavy stone breaker to fall
upon projecting point and thereby
detached several pieces of the vein
matter.
The white character of the rock and
its glittering particles disclosed to
him one of the richest mines in the
world. Literally full were the white
specimens with bright particles of al
most pure gold, and, although shaft
has been sunk to the depth of nine
feet, the rock increases in richness,
and at the bottom very thin strips of
wire gold seem to hold together the
fragmentary parts Of the vein matter.
Untold wealth is the sure posses
sion of the men, Virden and Griffin,
who own this rich treasure vault OF
the hills.-DenUer NenS.

DR.. SCHLIEMANN's DISCOVERIES. The
| following is an extract from private
letter written by DR.. Schliemann, and
dated Mycen@, Nov. 9th:
You will soon receive more com
plete report; but, in the meantime, a
foretaste of what is to come may be
agreeable. In the same tomb of which

side pendants of precious stones (red),
hundreds of large and small leaves of
gold, every one entirely covered with
spiral ornaments and circles.
When, after having dug out
of earth, | began to remove
the stones and rubbish of the lower
layer, | struck on the large gilded sill
vel. cow head with two golden horns,
one large cup of gold with pigeon
on each handle (who does not think
of Nestor's cup?) three cups with on
ly one handle, and an enormous vase

found about 200 gold buttons, very
large, and splendidly engraved, an
immense golden lebanon, richly orna-
which l mistook for a belt,
nine silver vases, one or more of them
gilded, ten very large vessels of bronze
All this was found before hardly one
third of the tomb had been emptied |
The bones which | found are like the
bones of giants, of extraordinary size
and the teeth very large. There were
close to them two large heaps of lances

showed the remains of wooden han
lies, ornamented with innumerable
gold pins The handle of one sword

The New York Tribune says that
5he business men only look tavorably
on the compromise bill, and that the
politicians oppose it. Which are the
solid men of the country, the business

the former ought to be as capable of

POLE REAcHTNG.-Says the New York
Tribune: Captain Howgate, of the
Signal Service, relieves us from a
great perplexity by recommending
that some twenty men be sent to the
far north well supplied for three years,
their camp to be established near the
late anchorage of the Discovery, and
arrangements made that they should
be visited and rcvictualed every three
years until they discover the pole.
Nothing could be simpler than the
plan of operations. The searchers
for the terrestrial "hub" would get &C.
customed to the rigors of the climate
much as cells get used to.being skinned.
All that is necessary for the success
of the project is the qHotaof martyrs
to science and good deal of patience.
If the former is secured we believe
there will be no difficulty in. the way,
provided every man is carefully.mark-
ed with red paint: LEFT TILL called for,

The MADMEN AT GHEEL.-The town
Of Gheel, situated in the province OF
ANTWERP, has been for six centuries an
abode of madmeu, and tradition even
takes the story back eleven centuries.
There are 1000 people in the
place, and they have charge of 1900
Iunatics from abroad, who are board
ed around in the families and treated
with great consideration. The chill
dren from youth are familiarized with
the business and all the people know
how to manage those committed to
their care. The inhabitants are all.
so to speak, engaged in the surveil-
lance Of the lunatics. One of the
greatest social punishments tia. can
be inflicted on family is to declare
that it is unfit to receive such board
ers. The lunaticS arc disposed of
the inhabitants according to
their wealth or stations, wealthy pa
tents being sent into the better fami-
lies and poor ones to the poorer. The
cures average from sixty TO seventy
five 10 the hundred. Gheel is divided
into four districts, each with its over
seer and physician Large sums of
money are spent in the place by the
patients, and families generally are
always DESTROYS of having one or
more lunatics on their hands.

The consideration Of this impor-
tant.and well known shell fish seems
a legitimate subject for the columns
of the FARMER AND MECHANIC,
since It's cultivation, which is the
object of our article, is only a trans
fer Of the art and act of culture from
the domain of the land to that of
the water. And we take it that no
species of industry by which the
maintenance and profit of a large
class of our people is an indifferent
subject of consideration, nor II
beneath the care of legislation, nor
beyond the interests of all sections
of the State alike !; because the pros
perity of any one portion of the
people reacts upon all alike.
1t seems to be time that all the
fishing interests of the State should
receive serious attention, and that
active and intelligent steps should
be taken to put a stop to the awful
waste which has hitherto gone on
UNDECIDED and unchecked, and to
preserve what is left to us of the
bountous patronage which benefi-
cent Providence has bestowed {; and
farther than that, IN view of the
constantly growing demands, the
results of increased population, the
growth of luxury and enlarged faci-
lities of transportation, to add, by
care and cultivation, to the store
that remains, and by the aid OF
legislation make that store practi-
cally inexhaustible. This can be
done on our waters, as has been
done elsewhere, as we will subse-
quently show.
1t is natural to think that the ex-
tensive water front of this State and
Virginia, washed by tides, wherein
the fresh and the salt I happily
tempered for the existence OF the well
known mollusk, could never suffer
diminution of supply should the de-
mand be ever so much increased.
It would be well for us to take
warning by the experience of those
who INDUCED in the same delusion,
and who now suffer for their over
weening confidence. Forty years
