DISCOVERY OF SILVER Ore IN WEST
ERN PENNsYLvANIA.-Ad discovery has
lately been made Oh Cheat river, which
is, perhaps, fraught with benefit to Pitts
bur9h. A well-known citizen of this
community yesterday exhibited to us a
letter giving the facts Of the discovery
Of valuable vein OF silver ore on the
property Of Messrs. Chess, Smythe 6
Co., on Cheat river. The ore lies in g
vein six inches deep, and is easily mined.
Five pounds of the ore yielded, on assay,
eight dollars Of silver. Two men re-
moved $3.50 worth of the ore in a single
day. The discovery Of oil brought a
food OF prosperity TO Pittsburgh, at a
time when business was greatly depress-
ed; and it would be little singular if
the discovery of silver, SO near our city,
should, in the demand for mining ma
terials, give renewed activity to our ma
chine shops, and help them out of the
present depression.-P5tts6uvgh COM

WHY A WHITE Wo1IAN MARRIED a
CHINAhAN.-Lately, Miss Fannie Wa
ters was united in the bonds of matri
mony to All Wah, q Chinaman. All
Wah is proprietor of q laundry, and is
possessed Of that element that sways the
judgment and dispels prejudice against
caste, otherwise known as gold. Miss
Waters followed the vocation of COVER
parties met by chance in Green street
church, where Chinese heathen are be-
ing converted to Christianity. But in
this instance the tables were turned,
and the Chinaman converted her to
heathenism. At the wedding, IN answer
to question by Rev. MIR. Gibson, why
she married the Chinaman, she said she
did so s'because she loved him, and not
for his money" It has transpired that
before she would consent to be led to
the nuptial couch she demanded 50, 900
as the price OF her virgin heart. This
money she placed in book. She showed
her account to lady in whose house she
had been employed as a goVerness. The
lady begged and implored her not to
marry the Chinaman, but all appeals to
the young woman's reason failed, and
she inundated herself Oh the altar Of
mammon. All Wah thinks of buying
another wife, but cannot afford another
SO, 900 investment in the face of the i'm
pending hard times.

OIL ON THE WATERS.-The good ship
King Henrie, which set sail last June
from Liverpool to Bombay, encountered
a terrible gale off the Cape of Good
Hope. 4 tremendous sea broke over
the ship, bursting in the main hatch,
washing away the hatch houses and
boats, smashing in the front Of the cab
in, and destroying the captains and Of
fcers' stores and clothing. i young lad,
one of the crew, was carried overheard,
aud it was impossible to rescue him.
The gale lasted for nearly five days, and
though the vessel stood it very well it
was impossible to repair any of the dam
age, as the waves were continually sweep
ing her decks. At length the chief off
Ger suggested throwing oil upon the wa
ter. Two canvas cloth bags were obtain
ell, and into each two gallons of fine oil
were poured, the bags being punc5ured
slightly The effect was magical the
waves 10 longer broke over the poop and
sides OF the ship, but several yards
away, where the oil had spread itself
over the surface, and around the
poop, IN the wake Of the vessel, was
large circuit of calm water. The crew
were thus able to repair the damage with
greater ease, aud the ship was relieved
from the tremendous shock she had pre-
7iously received from the heavy seas.

1850 NEW FARMS STARTED
WITH 4 YEAR.

Does any one know how many new
farms have been opened in the States
and their Territories this last year how
many new log cabins have been built /;
how many acres of virgin soil plowed
up for the first time? It is not proba-
bic that any one does know with exact
| ness but there is little table in the
report of the Secretary of the interior,
presented to Congress the other day,
which furnishes the material for ali ap-
proximately correct answer to those
questions. During the year ending with
June last there was taken up under the
Homestead law, 2.S75, ,903 acres. New
land taken up under the homestead law
is for actual cultivation, and is generally
taken III lots of 1G0 acres. It would ap-
pear, therefore, that more than II, eco
| new farms were commenced last year
under the homestead law alone. But
this is not all. There were sold during
the year, 640,69 acres for cash, and
1877, $40 acres were allotted on military
land warrants It is no doubt true that
portion of these IT'S, ,331 acres were
bought or entered by others than actual
settlers, by spectators or by persons
who made investments of this nature for
future purposes. It would be fair to cs-
innate, however, that one-half OF the
776, 331 acres were purchased or entered
for the purpose Of immediate settlement
and cultivation and this calculation
would give US 2, ,432 more new farms of
100 acres each. There were also q, ,04S
acres entered upon the Sioux and Chip
pewa half-breed scrip, and GOT, ,984 acres
taken up under the Timber Culture law.
Leaving these two latter items out of
the calculation, we have an aggregate of
about 1850 new farms commenced
during the year. This means 19, 500 new
homes. In five years from now these
1850 farms, under good manage
ment, ought to produce annually some
20,C00,G00 bushels Of wheat, some 49,
000,000 bushels CT corn, and some AGO.
900 head Of cattle or swine-making
provisions more than enough to furnish
meat and bread for New York city
whole year.-NeU York World.

fer saying that the existence Of para

on the eggs till all are consumed, and is

REMEMBER that one can have the hand

REMEMBER that one can have the hands
in soap-suds with soft soap without in
jury to the skin If the hands are dipped
in vinegar OF lemon juice Immediately
after. The acid destroys the corrosive
effects of the alkali and makes the hands
soft and white Indian meal and vine
gar or lennon juice used on the hands
when roughened by cold or labor, will
heal and soften them. Rub the hands
in this, then wash off thoroughly and
rub in glyceTine. Those who suffer

forth. And when the boats head came
round, she dared not look, till she heard
her husbands CHEEKY halloa and pres
entity o little slender wall that went to
her heart. She ran down the beach in
the track of the receding wave, regard
| less of her drenching, stretched out her
arms, and her husband, springing ashore
as the boat pushed up the sand, put into
them q great ten-l2onths-old baby, wet
to the skin, crying family with fright
and cold, and ready to die from the ex-
posure had it continued longer She did
not stay to look at it twice, but ran back
to the shelter of the sand hills, snatched
off its saturated clothes, and wrapped it
| in her own thick shawl rolled over and
over till it was swathed like an Indian
| baby. Then she puts its face under her
| chin to warm it in her neck, rocked it to
and fro, lifted it up to gaze at it again
| and to kiss it, and the child opened a
pair Of great wide dark eyes and looked
in her face and laughed. Had heaven
come down bodily, Mrs. Brenton could
have been no happier than she was that
moment. She ran back to the phaeton
and established herself, and waited for
her husband, while the child fell asleep
in her arms and she built castles for
the little being future, if no one should
turn up to claim him, and she watched
the doings IN the inn yard, where Mr.
Charles was still inspecting his losses
and cracking jokes with his subordin-
ates.
| tIhe barn floors have fallen out, sir, %
cried one of the hostlers, 'the horses are
tied up still, and are holding on by their
fore-legs-''
F'Would you have them hold on by
their two legs p asked MIR. Charles.
'That's what they're doing, sir. And
we must have help to pry them up
'Got it get it p cried Mr.. Charles,
cheerfully.
''Ile fires in the kitchen are all out,
| SIR. called a maid ':The waters over

"Where a good cook keeps it. But
| build your fires up stairs victuals must
be cooked" said Mr.. Charles, shuffiing
| on through the water. As he went, he
stopped and picked up something. 1.-THE

like baby when Mr.. Brenton came run

situation at once, and the horses splash
ed round by Mr.. Charles.

ing out and slapping the weeping man. 8
shoulder sstake this and repair losses"
and he pushed his wallet INTO the mans
hand. 'sMore than this has been given
me to-day, Charles, and out of our abun-
dance we must help one another" And
he drove on, leaving the man ready to
sit down in the water with bewilderment
and Joy.
''My DEAR" said Mr.. Brenton to his
wife, as they went their homeward way,
sit seems dreadful thing that such loss
| and tragedy can bring joy with it too.
And yet, since not a soul of all that ship
load has come to shore alive, that little

ALTERATION IN CLIaIATE.-The pro-
posed piercing Of the Isthmus of Suez,
and the scheme of reconyerting the Sa-
hara into sea, has induced Dr.. Reclaim,
the well known advocate Of cremation,
to write warning article to his periodi-
cal, called Gesundheit ("Health. He
points to remarkable change in The eli
mate Of the Torres straits, between Aus
tralia and New Guinea, which, in 1866,
were only beset by twenty six coral is
lands, now augmented to one hundred
and sixty. The gradual deviation Of a
warm current of sea water, owing to this
successive stepping up Of the Torres
passage, has already wrought great al
teration IN the climate III those quarters.
d.. RECLAIM apprehends a similar danger
for the European, and especially the
German climate, from the deviation of
the Gulf stream, after the piercing of
the Isthmus Of Suez. He says Europe
owes It's moderate climate partly - the
warm water heated by the Guif stccstn1,
partly to the hot air heated by tiie Niud
from the African desert. That hCt wind
known in Switzerland as the fohn, is a
snow devourer and glacier Destroyer
Without it the sun and the summer
would not suffice to stop the progress of
glacier formation. The ice period of
Europe explains itself by assuming that
the Sahara was then covered with sea
water That ice period would return if
the desert were reconverted into lake
Dr. Reclaim, who is friend of fire, has
decidedly sn objection to the extension
Of the domain CT water.
