Separating Silver from the Ore.

Nv NaAA aHAAAA5 AJAANNA II VAAA lAaG VI
AS the ore is extracted, it is carried
in small iron cars 10 the surface, and
wheeled to the reduction-mills, where
it is delivered through chute prOvid-
ed with a sieve. The pieces that pass
through the interstices of the sieve,
which are three inches square, go
directly into the receiying-bin below,
while the cOarser pieces are diverted
into the rOck-crusher and broken be-
fore they are restored to their smaller
fellows. From the bin the ore is fed
to the STAMPS" by which it is pulver-
lied in immense iron boxes and turned
by the addition Of water, into a seeth
ing, milky-lOOking liquid. The next
stage is reached in the amalgamating-
room, where it is deposited in the
Shape Of fine, glittering sand, and put
into pans which are heated by steam.
When it has been steamed and ground
for two hours and a half, some salt,
sulphate of copper, and quicksilver,
are mixed with the pulp which the ore
has become; and at the end of five
hours the ore and the quicksilver are
drawn off into settling-pans. The
silver separates from the ore in
the amalgamating pans, being changed
from a chloride and suIphuret to
metallic form by the action of the salt
and sulpha,e of copper; and it then
unites with the quicksilver, which
clings to it with the tenacity Of a very
poor relation. The object of all this
grinding and washing is the removal
Of the earth, some Of which remains,
and is not fually eliminated until the
metal is passed through a bag of heavy
canvas suspended in a strong box with
an iron lid. While it is thus inclOsed,
much of the superduOus quicksilver
flows away from it, and, is pasty
mass, it is transferred into an hydrau-
lie strainer-a cylindrical iron vessel,
in which a pressure of one hundred and
fifty pounds to the square inch is ap-
pied to j.. Three-fOurths of the mass
are still qu cksilyer, and it is next put
into a TetOrt, where the application Of
heat drives out the mercury and leaves
the boiling silver, which is moulded
into bars or bricks, almost ready for
coinage into dOllaTs.-Applct0lS' Jour

WALK. MCKNIGHT.
What Others Saw Of Him.

What others Say of Him.
The ChiIlicothe Gazette of last
week says:
We had the pleasure Of meeting
Mr.. W. w Mcknight last week, at
the Highland County Fair. Mr..
Mcknight is the gentleman who
will succeed to Mr.. Henry L. Dick
ey's seat in the next Congress, and
is one of natures n0blemen, n genial,
whole souled, clever gentleman,
beaming over with good nature. He
is of Irish descent and has the quick
ready wit for which that nation is
noted, and is full Of life aud energy,
knows everybody, and knows them
Just as well when he is not a candj-
date as when he is. We invite the
Republicans of that district to meet
the Republicans of the new Twelfth
at Greenfield, on the line, Saturday,
Oct. 18th, to celebrate the double
victory in the two geTymandered
districts. The change from one
Democratic Member of Congress to
two Republican viii be a good
enough gerrymander for the Repub-
icans Of Ross and Highland.
We second the motion ofour cOtem-
porary, and hope to meet the Repub-
Hcans of Ross and rejoice with them
on that happy occasion.

Dinner in China.

1t is certain, writes a traveller in
China, that real Chinese dinner
would be a very odd thing in the eyes
Of stranger, especially if he were one
of those who think, as some people do,
that there is only one way Of living.
To begin dinner with the dessert, and
end it with the soup; to drink the
wine smoking hot, out of little china
cups, and have your food brought TO
you ready cut into small pieces, and to
be presented with a couple of sticks,
instead of a knife and fork, to eat
with; to have, instead of napkins, a
provision OF little bits of silk paper by
the side of your plate, which, as you
use, the attendants carry off; to leave
your place between the courses, to
smoke or amuse yourself, and to raise
your chop-stieks to your forehead and
then place them horizontally upon your
cup, to signify that you have finished
your dinner-all these things would
doubtless seem very odd and excite the
curiosity of Europeans. The Chinese,
on the other hand, can never get over
their surprise at our way of dining;
They ask how we can like to drink cold
fluids, and what can have put it into
our heads to make use Of a trident to
carry food to our mouths, at the risk of
pricking our lips or poking our eyes
out. They think it very drOll to see
nuts put on the table in their shells,
and ask why our servants cannot take
the trouble to peel the fruit, and take
the bones out of the meat. They are
themselves certainly not very difficult
in the nature of their food, and like
such things as fried silkwOrms and
preserved larvae, but they cannot m-
derstand the prediction Of our epi-
cures for high game, nor for cheese
that appears to belong to the class Of
animated beings.

If I had known I'm the morning
How wearily all tls day
The words unkind
Would trouble my mind,
1 said when went away,
Ibad been more careful, darling,
Nor given you needless pain;
But we veX "Our own
With look and tone
We may never take back again;
For though in the quiet evening
Imay give you the kiss in peace,
Yet it might be
That never for me
The pain at the heart should Ceasei
How many go forth in the morning
That never come home at night
And hearts have been broken,
By harsh words spoken,
That sorrOws ne'er can set right.
We have careful thought for the stranger
And smiles for the sometimes guest
But oft for 'Our own"
The bitter tone,
Though we love ''our own" the best.
AhIlips with curse inpatient
Ali brow with that look Of scornl
'Twere a cruel fate,
Were the night too late
To undo the work Of the morn.

Anew peveIopmenfI

The Hartford (CUnn1 COurant
says: It turns out, from a transla-
ton Of one of the Louisiana cipher
dispatches, that a few days after the
presidential election four prominent
Democrats-Randal, Lamar, Wat
terson and Ottendorfar-telegraphed
to Mr.. Tilden, urgently recommend
ing him to make a proposition to
Governor Hayes suggesting that both
presidential candidates withdraw and
a new election be held. This is
important, as showing that as early
as November Il, 1876, Mr.. Tilden's
hackers were satisfied that he could
not establish q title to the Presi-
dency, and were very anxious to
make a compromise. Such propo-
sitions are not apt to emanste from
a party which believes itself victor
iOus.

The Democratic party claims to
be the friend of the poor man, and
here is an example of its legislation
for his interests, as pointed out by
the Adams Co. New Era:
The Democratic Ohio Legislators
failed to take q dollar from their per
diem, continuing the session as long
as possible, but reduced the little
salaries paid to Road Supervisors
and Assessors. The members of the
Democratic Lower House Of Con
gress took occasion to reduce the
price of Iaborers in the Government
workshops S5 per month, and like
wise neglected to take a fartbing
from the $1,000 per month which
they receive as salary.

SOLDIERS!
Read What the Organ of the
Democracy Of Ohio has to
Say about the War
and Your
AND DAUcHTERs!!

The Ohio Statesman, published at
the city of Columbus, is the organ of
the Democratic party of the State of
Ohio, and has been its organ for at
least forty years. During the war it
was celebrated for its REASONABLE
utterances ; but since the close of
the war its policy has been to keep
comparatively quiet for the purpose
of deceiying the loyal men of the
State as to the true character of the
leaders ofits party, Now, however,
it has become so much elated at the
mere prospect Of a Solid South, with
its Northern sympathizers, getting
full possession of the Government,
that it is again giving utterance to
the true sentiments Of the Demo
cratic leaders. In an issue of this
Democratic organ, of August, 1873,
the editor says:
"The war of the rebellion was
worse than useless war, and it was
prolonged to three times its neces-
sary length"
Good and true men, in the patri-
Otic enthusiasm of the moment, .
entered the ranks to fight the rebel |
lion, only to find that they had vol
unteered into q slavery that was
more CALLING than that of a PLAN |
TATION NEGRO. They We're
treated like dogs-made to submit
to indignities that would produce a |
rebellion in a State prison.
And all this, while they knew that /
their families at home were suffering
for the common necessaries of life, /
AND WERE BEING DEBAUCH-I
ED BY THE STAY-AT-HOME |
THIEVES, WHO MADE THE /
LOUDEST PROFESSIONS OF /
LOYALTY"
In the Statesman of the 31st of
1878, the editor makes an
in justification of the
above outrageous and slanderous
declarations, in the course of which
be uses the following language:
During such times and 81 3 and
4, the generous and self sacrificing
viii be found at the front, while the
cool, calculating, self-indulgent, viii /
be found at home, unscrupuIously
taking advantage of the situation.
And to increase their opportunities
these men are uniformly the loud
est in their profession of loyalty.
THE WIVES AND DAUGHTERS /
OF THE GENEROUS MEN WHO /
GO TO THE FRONT, ARE LIKE /
THE WIVES AND DAUGHTERS
Of OTHER MEN. KEEN NE
JESSITY AND CONSUAIlIATE /
5COUNDRELISM MAY WORK /
FHEIR RUIN JUST THE SAME |
AS IT HAS THE RUIN OF 9TH I
ERS."
In reply to the Columbus Dis
patch the editor says that the Saxon
,pithets that he had made use Of I
we're intended to apply 'to men who,
Turing the war, remained at home to
peculate in bonds and bounties, and
10 TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE
OF THE WIVES
md DAUGHTERS, TO INSULT
DR. DEBAUCH THEM, while their
natural protectors were in the field"
These are the sentiments Of that
anne old Copperhead party that is
low asking your support, veterans,
nd endeavOrng to deceive you by
he bypocritical cry Of REFORMl
They say the war is dead issue,
nd yet they SANDER and vilify those
7ho were engaged in it, and basely in

rave men who saved the nation
rom the fratricidal hands Of their
southern brethren. See that you

Mr.. Herman J. Klein, an astronomer
of Cologne, in Germany, has lately dis
covered upon the moons surface re-
Gently formed volcanic crater. 1t is
situated in vast plain, near the centre
of the moons disc, and 10 the west Of
another crater, known as Hyginus.
Its diameter is about 1900 feet, which
renders it larger than any on this
sarth, except that of Kerasna, IN the
Sandwich Islands. Mr.. Klein's discOv-
cry has since been confirmed By other
astronomers, including Ward of Bel
fort and Schmidt Of Athens.
