us that:

ease as the greatest of our earthly

THE ceremony of presenting Gen.
Grant the freedom of the city of Lon
don took place in presence of about
eight hundred ladies and gentlemen,
many of them the most distinguished
in the realm. In response Gen. Grant
referred to the pleasant relations exist
ing between the United States and
Great Britain. He said he always de-
sired peace, even if he had to fight for
it. He was delighted with the recep-
ton given him in England, which he
accepted as an honor to the American
people. He expressed the hope that
England and America would always be
at peace, and believed that nothing
could occur to disturb the peaceful re-
Iations now so firmly established be-
tween the two countries.

A Depraved Feline.

Cats are generally disposed to be
fastidious, but there is at least one ex-
ception to the rule. Up in Chinatown
there is a fine gray mouser that has
developed the depraved habit OF in
dulging In opium smoking, or as near
so as an animal well can. The cat
makes her headquarters at one OF the
principal dens OF the locality, and
perching herself IN front of the re-
cumbent smoker of the drug, eagerly
inhales the escaping smoke from his
nostrils aud mouth. The animal seems
to enjoy it, and will keep her position
for two or three hours, until overcome
by the fumes of the narcotic, rolls her
self up in a ball and sleeps Off the ef-
fects of the drug. The Cinnamon have
named the cat "Yen-se Quee," which
is applied to a habitual smoker. =.

weighing the dore bars produced at the
works has been lately received from

With this is found the exact weight of
the bars Of bullion made at the place,
and so perfect is its adjustment that
the weight of the finest hair can be

mANHArrAN-orFICIAL LETTER.

AUSTIN, Jan. %, 1877.
John Crockett, Secretary Nj. s. M.
Company:
Dear Sir: During the past week the
mill has reduced l2lX tons of ore, val
ued at sls,579 81.
At the Frost shaft the ore in the 500
foot east stope is Of as good quality as
ever, the production being about the
same. The west stope continues in a
very large ledge of high grade ore,
assaying from $50 to $500 per ton. In
the 0 0-foot west drift the ledge is large,
with ore similar to that on the stope.
The air-chnte to ventilate this stOpe
has been finished and we are now ena-
bled to extract a largerquantity Of this
ore. The 434-foot east drift, since pass
ing through the chimney now being
worked in the 500 foot level, has been
run a distance of 800 feet in a barren
ledge; it now shows very fine pieces of
ore, with a large solid ledge, and as it
is a chimney on the Independence
ledge we II only judge of its value by
those we are now working. At the
318 foot level a drift is being run east
on the North Star vein lately cut in
that level; ::the.ledge is now the whole
width of the drift, the upper portion
Of which carries the very richest kind
of ore peculiar to the North Star vein;
we should get the balance OF q very
rich chimney which broke off above.
in this portion Of the hill.
At the Curtis shaft the $50 and Co..
foot cr%oss-cuts are making good head
way. The SIT east drift still carries q
good ledge. To the east stOpe the fine
ore body mentioned in my last letter
continues to improve as we raise; it
has increased in size, the quality re.
manning the same, assaying about
5000 per ton. The west DRIFT running
from the bottom of the winze to meet
the $50 cross-cut carries the same
large ledge Of rich ore that the winze
vas sunk through.
Truly yours,
ALLEN A. CURTIS, Agent.

New Coastinx Ground.

The boys have evidently come to
the conclusion that too much danger
is incurred in ~coasting down Clark
street, and have chosen a new ground.
Starting at the Catholic Church they
have made a track down O'Neil Ave-
nue. and bring up in the neighbor-
hood of the Matamoras furnace. In
the south end of town a track has
been made down Furnace street, pass
ing the Silver Brick Hotel. These
places are far better adapted to the
sport than Clark street, as the danger
of colliding with passing teams or the
flag pole is very great.

HNIlY Frozen.

A young man was brought up on
Wednesday evenings train, from Pine
Station, who had had both of his feet
badly frozen the night previous. He
had left Eureka in search of work, and
attempted to walk to Palisade, but the
intense cold proved too much for his
endurance, and the result was as above
stated. He would have undoubtedly
frozen to death if he had not been dis
covered by n %tealnster, who took him
TO his cabin and attended to him until
the arrival OF the train.
