GOLD AND SILVER MINING.

In answering the question. "Is the
mining of Gold and Silver profitable?'
the Engineering and Mining Journal
presents figures giving the results of min
ing in the West for twenty-seven years.
The writer puts the investments in all
mines and mills now in operation at
$3.50, 900, 600; investment in labor, $324,-
O00, 900; personal assets, $25 1000, 900; total
Investments, $709, 100000. Return in bull
lion, 81 $50 100000; created values of
mines and mills, $3.50, 900 900; total, $2,-
200, ,O00, 900. Profit for tWenty-seven years,
81, ,d91 ,000, 900, representing an income of
fifty million dollars per annum on an in
veStment of seven hundred million dol
lars.
That Peru means to share more exten-
sively than she has of late done in the
business and profits of supplying the
the world with Silver Is apparent from
such statements as the following which
we find in some of our exchanges:
"Speclmens of silver ore recently taken
from the Cerro de Pasco silver mines in
Peru show that the submerged portion
of the mountain is very rich, and rough
estimate shows that a body of ore will
be exposed by the tunnel which Henry
Meigs Is to build, worth from $500, ,000,-
900 to $500, 900 900. These mines have
laid under water for fifty years, and are
scarcely known to the present genera
tion, though they had been worked tor
100 years, when the miners had to stop
on account of the water. Peru has now
discovered that a tunnel can be built
which will drain the mountain compile
tely, by draining off the lake from which
the water in the mine comes, and she is
so much in earnest about it that the first
loads of the now submerged ore are ex-
pected to reach Lima in four months. 1t
is predicted that within ten years more
silver will be taken out than from the
silver mines in Nevada.

SMUGGLING FROM CANADA.
Captain Bracket Finds Occupation
tn New Quarters.

1t is stated in a New York paper that
Captain Basckett having practically
checked silk smuggling on the. various
lines of ocean steamers, learned, few
day ago, that the operators had adopted
the plan of sending their goods by steam
er to Halifax, and then smuggling them
across the Canada border. From infor-
nation that reached the Secret Service
Department, the officers under Captain
Brackett found two packages of extra
fine quality of black silk in the store of
Clinton Il. Brush, at No. 81 Walker
street, where it was ascertained to be the
property of the wife of Edward j. Lewis,
Public StorekeeDer on Leroy street. The
goods were seized. The silk, is it stated
by the Government officials, was SNUG
gled across the border by Mrs. Lewis ,and
Is valued at 5000, on which the duty 3
$3.50. The singular part of the matter,
the officers state, is that the silk which
has been systematically smuggled for the
past two years, and for which cacCT of
oatmeal and sour wine have been substi-
tuted, were almost invariably traced to
Lewis Leroy street bonded warehouse.

HOW THE EXPERTS HAVE BEEN DECEI-
WE'D BY THE ST 900 BOGUS BILL.
The counterfeit 81 900 greenback of
the issue of 1863 is allowed by experts to
be the most dangerous bogus bill ever
put into circulation. The history of 1t
reads like a romance. Seven of the bills
have been captured by the Secret Service
detectives, but no trace of the operators
who make them has been discovered.
This almost perfect counterfeit has been
taken at the Sub-Treasuries at New
York, Chicago, and st. Louis. Only last
week one was received at the Treasury
Department of the United States from
the Sub treasury at Chicago, The bill
passed through the office of the Redemp-
Jion Bureau at Washington, and was
within an ace of being cancelled as a
good bill. 1t is admitted to be made by
a man of higher talent as an engraver
than any man in the Government
employ; for without the perfected
processes of the Government to aid
him, he has yet turned out so good a bill
as to deceive nearly all the experts not
specially warned. Its discovery dates
only four menths back. How much
longer it has been in circulation is not
known. .....

Electric Candles-A New Thing.
From the San Francisco Call.

Among other battles at which one as
sists this moment In France is that be-
tween electric candles and gaslight. Yes
terday evening L visited this peculiar
candle mandatory, in the Avenue des
Villiers, the director of which is Rus
sian engineer and also the inventor, M.
Joblockoff. Now, as Voltaire observed,
light comes from the north. The labora-
tory is hung with pictures and colored
stuffs which can be as easily distinguish
ed in their shades as if in full MONDAY.
The candles have the same ratio to gas
and oils lamps as sun to moonlight. The
inventor poured some glasses of water
on the flame of his dips, but they burned
away all the same. They emit no smoke,
and consequently cannot blacken objects,
nor any heaJ-350 times less than an Or
dinary candle-hence books will not fall
out of their bindings, nor tapestry turn
into black snuff. There can be no fire,
no explosions and the light can be laid
on some three to fifteen times cheaper
than gas or oil light. The light does not
Sremble or twinkle much, and none at
all if it passes through globe slightly
Opaque. The candle is composed of two
Ic cylindrical sticks of charcoal, separated
| by preparation of sand, ground glass
and kaolin; magneto-electro machine
| furnishes the current, which flows from
one point TO the other of the charcoal
rods. Each candle burns three hours,
and the extinction of one lights up anoth-
er. We are more than ON the eve of
a great discovery; but as the proof of the
pudding Is in the eating of it, the inten-
ton will soon be tested, as the circus. the
opera, the Louvre drapery shop and the
railway termini are to be Illuminated by
the new process. 1t will never be ac-
cepted by ladies for a ball room, as, un
ike charity, it will not cover multitude
of sins.

THE WIVES OF THE PREstDENTs WHO HAVE
ADORNED WASHINGTON SOCIETY.
rookig,n isltrafag lEqOle. 3omaG a!j Il
% The wives of the Presidents, have in
every instance been ladies worthy OF the
position they occupied, and in many in
stances they have greatly adorned and
elevated II by the exercise of their per-
sonai attributes. Mrs. John Adams was
womaIi who even AFTER this lapse OF
time lives in the memory of this people
as Spartan spirit OF the revolution as
Q character sufficiently strong and self
contained to have performed the duties
of her husbands high Office, II the emer-
gency had demanded. Mrs. Madison
was social queen. In some particulars
she never had an equal among her coun-
trywomen. Born q Quaker and reared
one, marrying in her own faith, and liy-
the exclusive society OF her sect, she
emerged like ehrysalis into q society
lady after her union with Mr.. Madison,
the then law student Of Philadelphia.
Miss Lane had the strongest personal
influence OF any Of the later-day ladies
Of the White House. She went to it a
blushing young girl of great beauty, and
she left it the idol of Washington people;
and not only of WASHINGTON people, but
of great numbers who had made her az
QuaintaRce during the time of Mr.. Ruch-
anan's administration. She was popular
because of her exceptional sweetness oi
disposition, and high bred, refined ways.
Her influence and power were not exert
ed beyond the social kingdom in which
she reigned supreme, because OF hel
youth, and the fact that sne was pecu'
liarly situated, having no near relative
to share with her the position she helc
and be in sense her counselor. But she
made the domestic life of the White
House ideal in it's delightfulness, and sht
rank in history beside Mrs. Madison il
popularity, while she stands alone IN hel
unique place as the first woman In Amer
lea, who, while occupying neither the DO
sition of wife or daughter, held the first
place in society as the representative oi
the President.
Mrs. Hayes is in no respect like Mis-
Lane, and yet in certain ways she is hel
immediate successor. Unlike Mrs
Grant, she is an interested observer o
public affairs, and an ardent and inter
ested actor in the events transpirinl
about her. She does not content hersel
with social duties, nor yet does she ig
more them. Like Miss Lane, she is in
tently watchful and careful of the fam
and name of the chief magistrate, ana NJ
aot, however insignificant of itself i
deemed too slight to be considered if it
results will add to the better public un
derstanding of his efforts. Throughou
the northern and eastern trip she wa
received, with the other ladies of tn
party, in the most respectful manner
but it remained for southern audienc
to give her welcome in specially com
plimentary way, and to pay her HUSBAND
honor by showing her exceptional atten
ton. Her presence was in every instanc
the signal for the uplifting Of hats an
spontaneous welcome from every ma
hefnra her. u Ill

incidents of the Presidential Trip

A gentleman now Ia Washington, and
who accompanied the President on his trip
from CInclnnatti, states that at Lynchburg,
Gen. Jubal A. Early refused to call on the
President, and made the remark that
Hayes should call on him, as he owed him
visit. Said Early "I planted, two ba'-
taries aud a brigade oi men one night to
greet him in the morning, but when day
broke he had gone away" Early is still
unreconstructed. He does not forgive what
he deems the fraud that made Hayes Presi-
dent. While ut Charlottesville the Presi~
dent made a visit to Monticello, the tomb
of Jefferson. When he returned to his
hotsl u friend said that he was glad the
President of the United States had made q
visit to the father of democracy, particularly
60 because he (the President) was the last
notable convert to that faith. At Orange
, Court House, Va, when the presidential
train was moving off some one proposed
thres cheers for the REesident "No," " said
the leader, "by way of a change let's give
him the rebel YELL" It was uttered with a
will, the first tune it had been heard during
the trip, and, tits faid, pleased the Presi-
dent much, as it was given with entire
good faith. Washington Star.

thus speaks of the weather and crops

well as Is desirable. Many of the

Says the Castroville Argus Of Sat

to be but a small rainfall this season,
as now seems plobable, they intend,
by sowing now, that their lands shall

advantage.
The feed for sheep around Rock
