Our Export Trade.

The Chief of the Bureau of Stats
tics at Washington observes that it ap-
pears probable the magnitude of the
present enormous export movement
from the United States will be sustained,
from the fact of our annually increasing
crops, our vast undeveloped resources,
and the stimulus which the expectation
of all sorts of food products, especially
wheat, corn, animals and provisions, has
received from greatly reduced cost of
transportation from the interior to the
seaboard. This latter circumstance has
very materially increased our ability to
compete in foreign markets. Chicago

Making Gold.

Charles Mantelman, Suabian bv
birth, simply bored holes in Jumps of
coal, filled these holes with gold, closed
them up with black wax, and threw
those Jumps into the crucible when the
masses were in full fusion. He was de-
tected, however, and cruelty beheaded
and quartered at Regensburg about
1870. Another worthy, one George
Honauer, met with a similar fate a few
years after at Stuttgart, where he was
hanged. This ingenious gentleman al
ways travelled with large chest, with
double bottom to it, concealing his own
son, sharp lad of about 10, who used to
come out from his hiding-place at night
and put the gold into the crucible, in
which the mass was in fusion over the
laboratory fire. Honauer pretended
that it was indispensable to leave the
mass for a few hours to itself, and the
laboratory was, therefore, always care
fully locked up for the night. The poor
boy on one occasion caught cold in the
head, and his irrepressible sneezes led
to the detection of the trick. Another,
Swiss adept, used to stir the fused
mass with sticks of wood deity bored at
one end and filed with gold, which
readily dropped into the mass. A SER
want of his always managed to put few
OF these SO prepared sticks upon the
bundle OF wood which his master used to
stir the mixture with. This trick was
also detected in the end and visited with
condign punishment ISnsleys MaQa-

disease frightfully fatal; half the cases re-
ported had died, and very few had recovered
Grenada Slight increase in the death rate; no
material for the spreading of the fever.
The deaths in New Orleans on Sept.
l numbered lightweight, and the fever was on
the increase whole number of deaths to that
date, 1.OO3. At Vicksburg there were ninety
eight new cases of fever and twenty-five
deaths. A Memphis dispatch of Sept. says
"This Sabbath day has been a sad one for
Memphis, death having visited eighty-one
households, and sickness more than 100 more.
People go about the streets in mourning, and
Christian burial for their dead is boon which
few are blessed with. At Elmwood shallow
graves are dug, and sometimes a short prayer
is uttered by minister, but, more frequently,
there is no service, and the dead are put away
hastily"

gence, of the labor, forethought, and energy
which in me lies, and use all the power which
they and those who think with them may give
me, to relieve the peoples burdens and bring

A Mathematical Prodigy.

Gilbert Miller, lad 8 years old
ing at Keokuk, Iowa, has recently
hibited most remarkable powers in ma
ematics, being able to give answers
difficult problems with scarcely any b
itation. He is strong, hearty boy. ]
over fond Of school, and differs onlv
this one respect from children of
age. His parents are averse to any c
play of precocity, and will not allow b
to be questioned. But enough has
ready been elected to show his wond
full faculty. He probably inherits t
gift from his father, Prof. Miller, of /
Keokuk Mercantile College, who /
long made speciality of rapid comm
cial calculation. We here present
examples given recently to the lad
test. The answers were forthcoming
once, without any apparent effort:

The Washington Monument.

The Washington monument was orig
nally intended to be 600 feet high, whic
is higher than any artificial structure
the world. On the new plan, it is to /
carried up 1876 feet, five feet higher tina
the loftiest pyramid. The New Have
Register thinks that it would be as we
to make it 512 feet high, so as to excee
the elevation of the Cologne cathedral
which will be 81 feet high. The TWEEN
ty-seven feet is mere trife, if thereb
the Yankee can overtop all the rest c
the world.

0ab, OTluk, duCl SOu0Clul0S Steep. LII one
of them drunken steamboat hand was
taken sick. A physician on sight pro-
nounced his disease genuine yellow fever.
In spite of an attempt to shut out travellers
from further South, the scourge had got
into the city. On northern bound trains,
within four hours after the case became
generally known, over 1000 residents
fed to safer places. The patient was
taken out to a hospital outside the city,
his clothing and the bedding on which
he had slept were burned, and the house
was thoroughly fumigated. It was
hoped that the pestilence had been
bafded at that point but the officials
had hardly completed the work before
their attention was called to Prof.
Decker, well-known citizen, who was
i'll with what his family physician
thought was yellow fever. It was. Next
door to his residence some visitors from
out of town had been staying nearly two
weeks. Investigation brought out the
fact that they had come in the steamboat
Golden Grown, which had run the quar-
antine blockade, landing her passengers
surreptitiously. The Professor died On
the day that he was taken sick, and his
son died soon afterward. Within twen-
ty-four hours more there were seventeen
additional cases in the city, and five
deaths. The stampede of frightened
residents continued, and the population
was soon reduced by athird. Everybody
went who had money to go with and
place to go to.
