ANOTHER NEW METAL.

The services the spectroscope is capable
OF rendering to science become more and
more evident daily, the latest proof of the
fact being the discovery of new metal
called scandium. In some of the mines i'm
sweden and Norway small quantities Of
earthly minerals are found, called gadolin-
lite and euxenite, composed of oxides of
very rare metals. The bulk of the SUBJ
stance is of rose-color, arising from the
presence OF erbium, and is called erbine
At first it was supposed to be simply mixed
with some earthly substances which rer.
dered 1t impure, but not long ago NJ. Mar
ignac discovered the presence of another
metallic substance, which he called ytter-
bine, the oxide of ytterbium. However
great uncertainty existed as to the compo-
sition of these bodies, and NJ. Nilsson I'M
dertcok series of experiments ON the
subject. NJ Berthelot, at the last meeting
OF the academy of Sciences, gave an at-
count of what had heen done so lar. tie
result being the discovery of new
metal to which Nj. Nilsson has given the
name of scandium, to indicate that il is
OF scandinavian origin. Erbine Is
as before mentioned. of a brilliant rose
color, while ytterbine is white But the
two substances can only be separated with
extreme difficulty The earth has to be
dissolved in boiling nitric acid and the
ytterbine then precipitated by sulphuric
acid and Nj. Nilsson found that the oper-
alton, repeated more than 20 times, did
not completely separate the bodies. When
he had obtained comparatively pure
ytterbne he commenced an examination
of it, and then he found that it gave alb
sorption bands in the spectrum unknown
to any substance previously examined.
After repeated trials he became convinced
that he was dealing with metal never
before suspected, and he continued his re-
searches. He is unable to say at present
what may be the chemical properties of
the new body, as the quantity of material
at his disposal was insufficient to allow
him To isolate the metal. Nor can he de-
eide as yet to the place the new metal is
to take among the older ones, but he con-
siders that its properties differ material
ly from those Of erbium and ytterbium,
and that it should rank between tin and
thorium, as the atomic weights of these
two are IL and 234, while he calculates
that of scandum at from 100 to $50.

PREJUDICE KILLS,

Eleven years our daughter suffered on a
bed of misery under the care of several of
the best (and some of the worst) physicians,
who gave her disease several names but no
relief, and now she is restored to us in good
health by as simple remedy as Hop Btters,
that we have poohed at for two years, before
using it. We earnestly nope and pray that
no one else will let their sick suffer as VIZ
did, on account OF prejudice against so good a
medicine as Hop Bitters. The Parents.

Art for Investment.

Many of the best and most costly paintings
that have been produced in Europe during the
past twenty years have been bought by Ameri-
can millionaires. Not that your American
millionaire is usually critic or connoisseur in
art, but he does know good in vestment, and
it has become well-established fact that
nothing pays like iudicious investments in
paintings. 1t is a pity that we cannot credit
all purchases of fine pictures to the growing
knowledge and love for art in America-for
! 'art for arts sake" However, although the
recent purchases of new works by Judge Hill
ton, the late A. L. Stewards partner, and W.
III. Vanderbilt, are liable to be charged to
thrift, it is matter for eongratulaton that
they have brought to this county important
works of art that must by and by occasionally
at least, be seen by those whom they will do
good. A rich man reckons himself lucky If
his investments for personal enjoyment or lux
ury say in houses or horses, can bring him any
percentage of profit, however small. Mr. John
Taylor Johnston, ON breaking up his magnif-
cent establishment, doubled his money on his
pictures; and instead of his 100 per cent, 600
per cent is not seldom earned on well-iudged
investments in art. One of our picture dealers
tells of a little collection of paintings in this
CITY that cost their owner $1,000 twenty years
ago, and were lately bought for SIG, 000.-Boston

DURING the present session of the United
States District court at Greenville, S. c., 80
persons have been sentenced for illicit distil-
ling and resistance to revenue officers, and
six left for the Albany penitentiary Monday
night. The total number of arrests made by
Marshal Wallace and his deputies for reve-
nue. violations since the last term of court
amounted to 473. One hundred and seventy
three cases were tried at his session, about
fifty of which were continued to the next
term. In the others there were either ac-
quittals by the jurors, with the above-named
exceptions, or a nolle prosequi was entered
by the attorneys for the government on ac-
count of lack of evidence. The efficiency
and equity of the new jury law was fully
tested, and the result is anything but flatter-
ing to the trainers of the law One of the
juries was almost entirely composed OF
mountaineers and such as derive living
from them. The consequence was that they
brought in verdicts of ''not guilty. in almost
every instance, especially when the political
standing of the culprit impressed them.

GAS TORIA

Pitchers Casforia especially adapted to
children. When the child has health tiae mother
can rest. Castoria is vegetable substitute for
nauseous Castor Oil, and the deleterious narcotic
Syrups sometimes used. Containing neither min
era morphine alcohol it has received the endors
ment OF physicians, and its sale is constantly an
rapidly increasing. 1t seems to be natures REM
eiy for nssis,ailating the food in the stomach,
causing proper digestion and preventing sOur
cIri, vomiting, wind-eolic and diarrhea. This
gives natural sleep. Castoria is not narcotic
1t is as pleasant to take honey. 1t relieves the
stomach and destroys worms 1t allays fever and is
very effcacious for Group. Every mother should
have it. Babies cry and grow fat upon Castoria.

Boston Herald: The attempt of the Dem
Gratis Of Blackville, S. c., to murder the col
ored postmaster at that place, Frederick
Nix, is a pretty bad case, and furnishes
fine illustration wherewith to adorn the
stalwart election arguments at the North.
The predecessor of Nix, a Miss Mohr, was
removed because of her rebellious sentiments,
which resulted in making it impossible for
Republicans who took any part in South
Carolina politics to have their mail matter
sent from or delivered at that office. The
Postmaster General has it in his power to
abolish the office, and would certainly be
justified in doing so. The United States
commissioner has issued warrants for the
arrest of the parties, and Senators Hampton
and Butler have a chance to show their 10y
atty and good sense by facilitating the prose-
cutions as much as in their power But,
with the whole local white sentiment bitter
ly Democratic, it will be very hard to con-
vict anybody, and the effectual remedy for
such outrages will be to close the Office and
keep il closed.

THE partner of Gillette. the Iowa Cree

THE partner of Gillette, the Iowa Green
back Congressman, who was in the brick
business before he went to Congress, has
brought suit for the dissolution Of the part
nership on the ground that Gillette has alb
sented himself from his place Of business,
and ''applied himself to the interests OF the
country at large, rather than to the manu-
facture of brick, tile &C., by reason of which
the business of said firm has been, and con-
tinues to be, Improbable" Gillette must
be a very much better brick maker than
Congressman. He can cease his attention to
the business of the country at large without
the least danger Of being involved in any
controversy with the people of his State or
of the nation.

pears communication from ore William
Howard over which some one has placed
these two lines in black letters: "Republi-
can Bribery in Maine" Eugene Hale Ad-
mits it and Glories in it." All. there is in
the communication to justify the first is the
ridiculous assertion that the Republicans
bought $4,000 votes at an expense of 100000.
To justify the second headline there is alb
solutely nothing. The Ne,o Era has in the
past, we believe, laid claim to being decent
journal. This performance ought to put 1t
out of its power to ever make such claim
again.
