AMONG the most noteworthy of the re.
cent mementoes of the war is the memor
ial obelisk erected ut Salisbury, North
Carolina TO MARX the burial place of the
Northern sold iers who perished in the
adjacent prison pen during the last year
of the great conflict. 1t has been estimat
ed that the Is trenches contain no fewer
than H. 800 men, buried promiscuously,
without the possibility of identification,
from which circumstance this burr
ground is known ms the Cemetery of the
"Urknown Dead" 1t lies about half Il
mile from the town of Salisbury, on n
slipping ground, and has an extent Of
about seven acres, surrounded by mas
sive stone wall. The cemetery proper
c.vers two acres, the other five being
laid out as lawn, and planted with trees.
A neat lodge has been erected at the
main entrance, over which the national
colors are daily displayed in fine weather.
The monument itself, plain obelisk OF
New Hampshire granite, SO feet 10 inches
in height, is frem design OF Mr.. Au =
gustus Van Cleft, of New York, and was
erected alta cost of $4,000. The un-
known names Of the dead are POLITICALLY
symbolized by yelled shield. A sword
and helmet typify the national struggle,
and pair of broken letters the bursting
of the prison bonds by Death. Over all
surrounded by laura. wreath, is the in
scription !Pro Patria." p"

Do GOLD NuoGKTs GRowf-A start.
ling theory has been advanced by Mr.. &.
Atwood, in paper read before the
Chemical Society of England, which will
make experienced California miners shake
their heads. Mr.. Atwood. asks, do gold
nuggets grow2 and answers by assuming
that they do, owing to tho accumulation
offresh particles of finely prccipitated
gold. At Guayana, Venezuela, a largo
area ofaluvial soil has been found TO
contain gold, and nuggets up to 25ounces
have been discovered within three feet OF
the surface. Qrite one half OF these mug
gets are covered with dark brown sub.
stnnce resembling a silicate of iron."
BY treating such q nugget with bydroch.
lorc ncid and cuuitic soda, 1t was found
to be diminished considerably in weight.
During this dissolving process much gold
in n tney y divided state, became attached
and after the treatment the nugget was
purity covered with n coating OF finely
divided gold of dull color.

DR.. HUGGINs' DeG.-Dr. Higgins, the
famous British astronomer. was the own
er Of II beautiful dog named Kepler. AT
ter dinner or Il lunch he would march
Inio the room and seat himself at his
masters feet. DR.. Higgins would then
PROFOUND various arihmetical questions,
which Kepler would invariably solve
without mistake, even extracting
square roots without seeming difficulty.
Thus, for the square root of twenty-five
he would promptly respond with five
barks and so on. Sometimes the qnes
tions were more complicated, when KEEP
Ter would apparently give more thought
to the matter, hesitating about the mum
Der of barlls, but sure to give the right
answer at last. A piece of cake was
held before him during the lesson, but the
dog never moved his eyes from his mas
ter's face until the solution was reached,
and then the cake disappeared in mar
velousy short time. The only way this
canine feat can be explained is this : DE-.
Higgins was entirely unconscious of sug-
gesting the right answer, but the dog had
acquired the habit of reading IN hi~ mas
ter's eye or countenance some mysterious
indication that guided him to'the right
result. Keper. was mind render, tut
his genius and accomplishments Ei'ed To
secure for him length of days. He died
before his time, honored and lamented by
many apprecintive friends.

AMERICA FIFTEEN IsvEsTIoss.-.
An English journal frankly gives credit
to the Amerfc genius for at least fifteen
inv entions and discoveries, which it says,
hns been adopted all over the world.
These :riumphs of American genius are
thus enumerated: First, the cotton gin,
second. the planning machine; third, the
grass mower and grain mower; fourth,
the rotary printing press; fifth, naviga.
tion by steam; sixth the hot air, or caloric
engine; seventh, the sewing machine;
eight, the India rubber industry; ninth,
the machine manu- tacture of horse.s shoes;
tenth sand blast for carving; eleventh,
the gauge hath: twelfth; the grain ele-
vator; thirteenth, artificial ice manufac.
ture on n large scale; fourteenth, the elec>
tromagnet and its practical application;
fftenth, the composing machine for print
era. 1t is not often that American
achievements in this direction receive
due credit from such a source.-N. Y. Stt1t

W Weaverville, June 81, 1879

PROFESSOR MORLEY stated in recent
lecture that there was no such thing as
newspaper in ancient times, the first germ
of such production being a custom which
prevailed Mt Venice in the sixteenth CEN
tury, OF reading aloud in public places. n
manuscript sheet of news of general in
terest, prepared by the authorities, the
sum paid by such as cared to hear the
reading of this document, being one ga
zenta-a fractional coin-and hence the
name gazette. The London Builder
points out, however, that the learned
Professor seems at that moment to have
forgotten, that not long after the founda-
tion of Rome the high priest was directed
to exhibit to the public at frequent inter-
walls the chronicle (Annaies Maxim) he
was enjoned to keep. This went on until
the institution Of the Acta Populi Romo-
mani Diurna, to which, under Caesar,
were added the Acti Senatus. Under the
Emperors, copies of the official gazette
were sent to the provinces, and in Rome
its contents were quickly diffuscd by per-
sons who ma le business OF dsseminat-
ing news contained in it. No copy has
been preserved, but cotemporary authors
refer to it, and occasionally interpolate
extracts. 1t appears TO have contained
war news, accounts of gladatorial con
tests, popular festivities, personal gossip
and in n word, nearly all that goes to
make up a modern newspaper. 1t also
published probably for payment, adver>
tisements Of auctions, births, deaths and
marriages, etc. Thus 1000 years ago.
there existed an exact prototype of the
medern newspar er. It's spirit Twas ex
tinguished in that frightfu epoch which
for centuries saturated the soil of all
countries with gore" ard it did not re-
vive until the days of printing.
