A recent memoir by Prof. j. Law
renee Smith, of Louisville, Ky. deals
with the native iron of Greenland, and
the basalt containing it. His analyses
leave no reason to doubt that the iron
is of terrestrial origin, and its present
condition is due, in all likelihood, to
the decomposing action of the beds OF
Ignite and other organic substances
penetrated by the immense basaltic
bikes. The feldspathic and other crys'
tails of basalt are so intimately associ.
ated with the iron that they run right
through its particles.

POPULATION OF GERMANY.-The pres.
ent population of Germany proper, or
of all the territory comprehended in
what is now known as the German EN-
pire, is estimated in round numbers at
rs, 100000. There are in the Empire
twenty-one universities, of which the
best known are at Berlin, Halle, Bonn,
Erlangen. Leipsic, Goettingen, Heidel-
berg, jena and Koenigsberg. There
are sixteen polytechnic institutions,
likewise; some 500 gymnasia or high
schools, large number of special
schools, and over $4,000 elementary
schools. The attendance of children at
school for at least four or five years be-
ing compulsory in nearly all the Ger
man States, the proportion of persons
who cannot read or write is exceedingly
small.

An account is given in the French
journals of new and interesting in
vention, namely, a method of produc-
ing cloth from glass, which has some
special advantages over ordinary tex
tiles; that is, it is produced in all col
ors, and of different strengths, and is
also incombustible, this latter property
rendering it valuable for those who
have to work near fire or flames. It is
also adapted for ladies' dresses. and for
other purposes in the place Of silk, and
it is said to be more glossy and lnstrous,
and is, moreover, easily washed. 1t is
stated to have all the appearance char
acterizing heavy silk, and is soft and
elastic like the latter. It's usefulness,
however, must, of course, depend, in a
great degree, on its durability.

The Sad Side of Thanksgiving.

eft are bright Thanksgivin' as ever
/ see" was the remark of an ancient
and poorly. clad man, Thursday. The
thin, white locks were blown back and
forth by the slight wind, as they hung
below the dilapidsted rim of tattered
hat. From the humid eyes exuded a
few stray drops of brine, which stole
slowly down his time-worn face, like
tue last globules from an inverted beer
glass. They lost themselves in the
shaggy masses of his grizzled beard.
The poor, wan hands were folded to-
gether over q staff, and visible misery
sat with the pitiable wreck as his only
constant friend. Three score years and
six were plainly stamped upon his
brow, and in the dim orbs, like kind
ling coal, shone the light of futurity.
He had appealed to reporter for aims,
and grasped a nickel.
Il don't have the jolly times l did

an extra quarter and ate Thanksgiving

An Unfortunate Affair.

The Esmeralda Herald records an ARRAY
that took place at Belleville recently, be-
tween two %well-known citizens Of that
place, which resulted in the death of one of
the participants. G. A. Buck, who is the
secretary of the Northern Belle mine, and
Levi Keithly, clerk Of the water company.
owned by the Northern Belle corporation,
had a misunderstanding about 50 80 in the
office of the company. No other persons
were present at the time, and therefore
the full particulars are not known. The
result Of the difficulty, however, was the
shooting of Keithly by Buck. The shot
took effect in the head and the injured man
lived about three hours. Both men bore
unblemished characters and were sober and
always peaceably disposed.

1t must be rather embarrassing in Cyprus
for the clearly foreigner, addicted to bath
ing, if the correspondent Of the London
Daily Nescs doesn't SAY the thing that is
not in describing an Englishman's morn
ing experience: He plunges into his bath,
but, alas there is no water in it, they have
forgotten that. While he Ions q few gar
ments to go out and make his demand, a
harsh, squeaking voice at the shutter shouts
in Greek, "Mister, mister, six o'clock" A
pair of dark eyes may be seen peering
through a chink in the shutters, and as the
inmate energies from his room, he finds one
Of the women i~ntently gazing through the
shutter still. He explains that it is water
that he wants, and several of them 60 off
together to bring it. 1t appears that he
forgot to fasten the door as he went back to
his bath, for in comes two of the women
without any warning, one bearing a tiny
cup Of coffee. No mount of argument can
get rid of them for some minutes, but
finally the coffee is deposited on a chair
there is no table---and once more our friend
is left alone. But he is not left quiet for
long, for the eyes continue to appear at the
shutters and door until he stuffs up the
apertures with brown PAPER.

silver Peak District.

In this district, says the Esmeralda
Herald, is located several very good mines,
among which are the Lodi and
Kelly mines. The former has three shafts
down 140, 65 and As feet, respectively. The
owner have from $50 to 100 tons of ore on
the dump, and can take out from ten to
fifteen tons daily, or in other words, they
could keep a good-sized furnace running.
This is one Of the first mines located in the
district. The Kelly mine is shut down at
present as the shaft is now down SO deep
that they cannot work it to advantage with
the windlass now in use. Arrangements are
being made to put in improved hosting
machinery. The company also contem-
plate the erection of a furnace at an early
day, as they have sufficient ore already in
sight to warrant them in making this out
lay. The indications are that they have
struck a true assure vein.

MINING NEWS.
Why More Extensive Reports Can
not be Obtained in this District.


The DAILY Excha, g." in an article on
the above sabject, says:
1.-THE single notable exception to this
rule of mining information is found in the
Eureka District, Ne,ala, a district second
in importance to the Comstock itself.
With three excellent newspapers-two at
Eureka, and one at Ruby Hill, only two
miles await requires q very careful
search through their columns to ascertain
il anything is going on in such mines as
the Eureka Consolidated. Richmond, Jack
son, Phenix, Albion, Hamburg. and dozens
OF Others now being worked or prospected.
These journals are very cleverly and ably
conducted, but the reporters, instead Of
hieing themselves off to the mines in search
Of items, seem to prefer to remain in town
getting up witty paragraphs for the amuse-
ment Of readers. The interests OF Eureka
center in its mines, and people would like
to hear what is doing. A little more min
ing news, gentlemen Of the Eureka Eress.
The SENTINEL cannot be accused OF
getting up witty paragraphs" and that
charge must refer 20 the other two papers
several obstacles which u reporter encoun-
tiers here, that one unknown on the Com
stock and other mining localities. The
mines at Virginia City are confined to a
narrow radius, while in this district they
are miles apart. This, however, is not the
greatest obstacle. The mining authorizes
here object to a daily bulletin of their
business. and were the reporter to ask for
information on the ground taken by the
Exchange. that it is a matter OF interest to
the public generally and San Francisco
particularly, he would be told in pretty
plain terms hat they were not running
their mines in the interest Of the San
Francisco Stock Board. The Exchange can
be assured that the SENTINEL publishes all
the news it can obtain legi timately, and has
no desire to publish more.
