1t has been recently stated, on appar-
emily good authority, that films of gold
can be produced, by means of galvanic
battery, so thin that one grain of it
would cover four square feet. This
would be but one ten>thousandth Of
the thickness of ordinary writing paper;
and 2,79S,00O Of such films would make
only one inch in thickness, Though
tho human mind cannot appreciate the
meaning of the foregoing figures. it is
fact that the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
which are from time to time advanced
in favor of gold and against silver, as
money, are found to be on a casual ex-
animation, thinner than ever the thin
nest leaf Of gold. II is said that the
thinnest gold leaf is transparent and
gives green color TO transmitted light
than which no color could be more
appropriate, inasmuch as those who
appear to worship gold are either decid-
eddy green or exceedingly knavlsh.

A COLONY of Laborers 10 Emigrnie 10
Texas.

A colony of twenty-five families,
including about one hundred and forty
persons, has been enrolled to emigrate
from Pittsburg to western Texas. All
the colonists are working men, who
say they recognize that the cities are
overcrowded with idle men, and II
they remain starvation or beggary will
overtake them. Some OF them are
skilled mechanics, few are farmers,
but the majority are laborers and rail
road hands. They comprise excellent
material, and during the riotous con-
duct Of the railroad strikers In Pitts
burg, co.operated with the authorities
in suppressing the element. Several
OF the families have four chill.
dren and all of the men are mar
ried and none are over forty years of
age, the large majority being thirty
years old. This is the first colony
formed In Pennsylvania since the 10.
Dor troubles, and II successful Others
will follow. They have elected Mr..
James Watson as their agent, who
passed through Dallas yesterday for
Jack county. He has visited Kaufman
county; and is well pleased with the
country. The colony propose to take
up one hundred and sixty acres and
live on 1t as a community at first, al
lotting no more land to any individual
than he works. The earnings will be
thrown into common fund until
every family has house and sepa-
rate piece Of land.

A Little Wanderer.

Yesterday about noon German wO'
man, living on Wood street, informed
Marshal Morton that her little girl,
three years old, had disappeared from
home early that morning, and could
not be found though diligent search
had been made for her throughout the
city. She was frantic with grief and
i'm plored the marshal to find her lost
child. He began the search, which for
some time seemed as though 1t would
prove futile, the grief of the mother In
the meantime increasing. AT last the
marshal found pair Of tiny shoes and
stockings on Commerce street, near
Longs wagon shop, which the mother
identified as those Of her missing child.
A terrible suspicion crossed the dis.
tracted mothers mind that her little
one had been kidnapped, fallen into a
well, or some other terrible accident
had overtaken her, for she con-
tinued to accompany the officer
in his hunt. After considerable in
quiry at the houses In the Deighbor'
hood, they we're rewarded with the OBJ
ject of their search. The mothers joy
was beyond description, as she lavish
ed the child with kiss after kiss, and
thanked the marshal time and again
for his kindness. The little one had
strayed off, and childlike, pulled of
her shoes asd stockings lD her RAM
bles, and when tired oui, dropped In
upon the people of the house where
che was found.
