"THE OCTOROON.

Large audiences gathered at the Opera
House on Saturday afternoon and even
ing to witness the second and last pre-
sensations of BOuccicault's drama, "The
Octoroon." The play is decided sue
cess, and pleased all who saw it. From
the pleasing parts of the blunt "Scud-
der and the beautiful 'ZOe, down to
"Uncle Pete's" excellent low comedy,
the cast was unusually strong. The
Jubilee Singers made u pleasing digres-
sion, and their voices harmOniZed won
derfully with the scenes. The scenery,
tableaux, in fact every adjunct was al
most faultless, and if Gotthold ever wan
ders this way again, he may he sure OF
warm reception and crowded houses.

HUMPTY DUMPTY.

Beyond n doubt, one of the largest
houses of the season will greet the sin
Gle performance OF Tony Denier's pan
tomine tonight. Reserved seats can be
secured at Lucas music store to-day.
In speaking of this pantOmine, the
Poughkeepsie Eagle, of March Dist says:
The performance at the Opera House,
last evening, by Tony Denier's Panto-
mine troupe, was one OF the best ever
given in this city, and gave excellent
satisfaction to the large audience pres
ent. Very many of the tricks presented
were new and original and received loud
applause. Mr.. Geo. Ii. Adams (Gri-
maldn, who takes the character OF
clown, is in our opinion fully equal to
the late George L. Fox. He is consid-
cred all over the country as the boss in
his line of business. His acrobatic feats,
and also performance on the stills, are
simply wonderful. Mr.. Charles Adams,
as Pantaloon, was also good; in fact, the
whole company performed in most
creditable manner. The oliO, which
composed several new features, was also
an interesting part of the evenings en-
tertainment. We can recommend the
troupe in the highest terms wherever 1t
NAV appear, and congratulate Mr..
Denier on the same. They go from
here 10 Albany.

Silver King.

This mine was discovered in
 1875, and, after some difficulties
 with regard to transportation
 it began to draw attention to the
 unusual richness of it's ores. Be-
 fore incorporation, mine yielded
 net $260,000; since then has dis
 pensed $45O,O ,O0O in dividends. In addition, fully $1OO.0O0 have been
 expended on machinery. It is
 now one of the most interesting
 mines in the country. Silver
 King suspended dividends last October. It has been a matter of astOnishment, how the mine was ever able to pay any. owing to the expense of mining iu krizona previous to completion of the Southern Pacific to the Colorado, also considering the trifiing depth attained (257.ft.). It is ex- pected that dividends will be re- sumed in short time. A three compartment shaft has just been finished so that the hOisting will now be done by steam. This shaft has been sunk vertically to a depth of 1SO feet. The shaft will be continued until 1t cuts the vein, expected to be accom- rllshed at 100 feet further.

Mining an EudE stry. .

The past year has developed an
 interest in mining in the East
 which iS indicative of 8 marked
 change in the views of our cap-
 italistts and moneyed men. This
 interest cannot be called an eX-
 citement, as it entirely lacks the
 essential features of mining fe-
 vers of the past. Aside from the
 speculation i'll mining securities
 at the exchanges in this city,
 which can in no way be compared
 with the speculation which for
 merly ragged in San Francisco, or
 even with that which exists there lto-day, there is 9 nnominent and growing interest in mining
 as a legitimate field for in vestment and profit. People anxious to obtain a fair re- tarn for their money invested, and at the same time to have the
 principal secured, are beginning
 to look npon mining less as spec
 ulation and more as an industry. Investments are being made daily in mining property and securities by persons whose views a few years ago were that mining was nothing more nor less than a gamble in which Q few held the trump cards and the majority were the victims. Now, sober and conservative men are turn ing to the mining fields of Cali fornia, Colorado, Nevada and Arizona, to find what they be- lieve will prove profitable invest ments for money. which hereto fore has been placed in Govern ment and other bonds, real estate | and other so.called first-class securities.
 This change in the opinion of men accustomed to think for themselves, and to use the great est care in making investments, can be traced to a legitimate cause, and is in no way either a fever or fantasy. Tn the early history of mining chance was the prominent feature. The miner il search of wealth trusted to luck to bring him a fortune. Mi hing information was limited, and tools and appliances for prosecu- ting w 1rk were crude and imprac- 5icable. The mining expert was ! novice as compared with his more experienced rival of to-day. In all mining enterprises the ele- nent of uncertainty so predom- mated as to invite speculation and opel investment. Perhaps nev- sr before in the history of the { world was a field so prolific of ; speculation yet discovered. For ' unes were made and lost in few months, and sometimes in days. ] )r even hours. The unexampled 1 growth of San Francisco, and it's immense wealth, note the era of speculation which the discovery s )f gold instituted. This specula- ( ion, however, was only the natu- a al result of a new business &C., I lvely prosecuted by large num- c
The Arizona sentinel., 1879-08-02

bers of people inexperienced in
 the most rudimentary principles
 of that business. Yet to this very
 speculation is due the present
 prosperous condition of the min.
 ing interest. and it's encouraging
 prospects for the future.
 The knowledge and experience
 which has been gained during the past thirty years have served to change entirely the characttef of mining enterprise. It is less a chance and more a certainty, less a speculation and more an indus try. Great progress has been made in mining as a science, and the mining engineer of to-day is governed as much by rule as the expert of former days was by chance. His calculations may be reduced to almost absolute cer. tainties, and every day is verify. ing the heprognostications of m ming professors and experts in regard to mineral formations in the great mining regions of the Pacific Coast. An advancement no less marked has been made in the facilities for conducting mining operations. Machinery has been invented which has entirely su- perceded the simple appliances of the early miner. These me- Improvements have also served to eliminate the element of uncertainty, and to furnish in advance information i'll regard to the value of mining regions yet undeveloped. With the aid furnished by experience advanced . knowledge, and increased faciIi- ties, mining has developeG into an industry, the chancesiE which may be as easily and as safely ! calculated as any business or commercial enterprise of the country. Of course there are for fraud and for , the feecing of innocent victims, which all trades and professions t Ire alike subject to. Of these we will at another time speak at ength; for the present we are , satisfied to note the growth of an which has become an i industry worthy the attention of t he most conservative of capital sts, and which yet owes to spec lIation its very existence.-

The Religious Paper.

On the subject Of religious journalism,
it must be evident to all that great
change has come over the religious press
within the last few years. The ancient
homiletic tone is gone. Cant is at dis
count. Afectation of sanctimonious airs
and expressions is gone. There is an ap-
probation of the fact that piety and whan-
doodle are not synonymous terms. The
fact is realized that the religious news
paper is not a polemic maui, nor theo-
logical review nor heavy treatise, nor
a repeater of stereotyped platitudes, nor
a literary clearinghouse in which the
hash of old sermons is the regular dish,
to be taken as an act of duty and read as
penance. The religious newspaper be-
gins to realize that it must be about the
Masters business, and with the business
idea come business maxims and habits.
There must be energy, enterprise, keen
observation, and work persistent and
skillfully applied. The change has come
and the new newspaper is driving out the
old, and will inevitably transform or ex-
tinguish it. The change is providential,
and no doubt is essential to the emergen-
cy. The enemy-the administrative

press, beside their own avowed organs.
The religious newspaper which cannot

its way, on its merits into irreigious

Three Missionaries under Appointment.

At the last meeting of the Executive Commit
tee Of Foreign Missionsl Rev B. F. Thompson,
of the Synod of Nashville, Mr. A. Sydenstricker,
of the Synod of Virginia, and Mr. Joshua Phipps,
Of the Synod of Nashville, were appointed for
eign missionaries Mr. Phipps and Mr.. Syden-
stricken are members Of the senior class in Union
Seminary, Virginia, and they will not be ready
to engage in the work until their studies are
completed, which will not be until next spring
Mr. Phipps is expected to Join the Greek und
Mr. Sydenstricker the China Mission. Mr..
Thompson graduated at Union Seminary some
thing more than year ago. He is expected to
reinforce the Pernambuco Mission, and it Is
hoped he will be ready to sail by the first of Jan
uary next, if not before.
These brethren are all highly recommended
and promise to be very useful in the fields to
which they have been respectively assigned.
This will be cheering tidings to our missionary
brethren who have been waiting solong and so
anxiously for help. 1t is only to be regretted
that much larger number of laborers cannot
be sent out Those who have been appointed
will only meet the demand to partial extent
1t is a cause of sincere gratitude however, that
God has been pleased to incline the hearts of
these dear brethren to engage in the work. and

SELMA, ALA, Dec. ., 1879.
Messrs. Edjtors,-Last Sunday I took
part-or, to speak accurately, took the
whole work in the organization Of a new
church at Harpersville, near the line Of
the S. R. & D. R. R. Rev. Jas. Mclean
was appointed with me, but as he was on
his own heather, he took the ground there
was no use in having a dog if you have
to bark yourself; and so he made me do
all the preaching on Saturday and Sun
day. The most of the members were
formerly in connection With Columbiana
church. but this was too far for them to
attend
The new church has sixteen members,
two Elders and two Deacons, and is To-
Gated in the rich valley of the Coosa river,
though most of the members are poor.
In charging the new Elders, I dwelt
upon the Invaluable services of my old
Elders in Pole Green church.
And tonight, I have inst read that
touching historic account Of this, my
birthplace and first charge, from the pen
of the last survivor Of these dear old men
of God, who were such fast friends, and
such able counsellors in this my boyhood's
early days.
I remember the old church, with its
square pews, and its S. D., 1856, on the
sounding board. How many times have
I stretched myself as boy on the seat
of one of these box pews and gazed at
those mystic letters until, like Eutichus,
with Parson Smiths long sermon, l fell
asleep and fell off the hard seat upon the
floor
But those dear old Elders, who found
it so hard to quit calling me Tom-and
gave me the right hand of fellowship
when Dr. Read offered the ordaining
prayer, at old Pole Green church, and l
stood up their pastor Gardner, and
Tinsley, and Gaines are all gone, and
Pollard alone remains of those dear good
men, who ever were so forbearing, and so
kind, and so encouraging to their young
pastor But they gave me a practical
Illustration of what Elders are, and ought
to be, that l have never forgotten; and
which I have often used in the ordination
