How TO Work MEADOW LAKE ORE
A score of people have gone daft, and
hundreds have ''gone broke" trying to
discover some process for working
Meadow Lake ore. With hand-mortars
for crushing purposes, and frying pan
for furnace, any man could get fine
prospects. Assayers could always get
returns from the ore ranging way up In
the hundreds of dollars per ton. In many
places free gold could be seen cropping
out of the rock as thick as mussels on
rocky beach. Yet in spite of all this,
every man that took fortune to Meadow
Lake, left it there, sunk in some intricate
process. When simple amalgamation
failed, everybody was panic-stricken. 1t
was at once concluded that the ore was
rebellious that only the costliest chemi-,
cal process could extract it. The theofy
was strengthened when chlorination fail
ed, and was everlastingly established
when the Schievely process, the Fryer
process, the Robertson process, and forty
other processes failed. And now comes
James Gould, well known amalgama-
Bear mine of Siskyou county, and solves
we'll known machinist and mining ex-
pert, and G. A. Griffen, and backed up
by s. Harris and James Griffen, all
heavily interested in these mines, Mr..
Gould worked the ore successfully. And
what did he do? Why, nothing, except
to handle the ore as if it was descent, or
dinary rock, in which sulphurets strong
ly predominate. With a fire in
which layers of wood and
layers of ore alternated, he heated the
ore, and thus dried and partially oxid-
lied it. Then dry crushing it in an or
binary stamp mill, he roasted the ore in
reverbatory furnace until it attained a
cherry redness. This roasting completed
the oxidation. This done he subjected it
to ordinary wet amalgamation, with pan
and settler. The result, from six tons of
ore, was beautiful bar of bullion worth
six hundred dollars. The method of
working ore is the simplest known, and
yet the results are pefectly satisfactory.
Great interest is manifested by mining
men in this part of the country, and the
result seems likely to revolutionize the
commonly accepted views of the Meadow
Lake rock.-Iruckee Republican.

The WARLIKE EDITORS OF PARIS
An editor of the Republican Dic-,eeu
rieme Steele, M. Eugene Liebert, and
an editor of the Radical Mayseillaise, M.
Edmond Lepelletier, proceeded to bare
their arms and satisfy their honor by
spilling little blood on the Belgian
soil at Dinghem, recently. An armis-
tice had been proclaimed, and nine
times did the battle begin afresh. The
combatants were equally matched, and
both seemed powerful in defense, for
it was not until the seventh encounter
that blood was drawn. The editor of
the Di:c-meucienae Steele was wounded in
the hand. The eighth round was not
marked by any particular incident, but
in the ninth, the editor of the Marseil-
laise was hit in the forearm. Hereupon
the medical men in attendance held
consultation, which ended in a request
that the seconds should interfere and
declare that honor had been satisfied.
A paragraph in the process cerbdl adds
that the seconds consider it their duty
to render homage to the intrepidity and
courage shown in this encounter by the
adversaries. The interview of M. Oliver
Pains seconds with M. Maynard, of the
Figaro, resulted, it seems, in the deter
mination of NJ. Pain, of the Marseil
laise, to have recourse to measures of
violence, M. Maynard having declined
to give him satisfaction by arms. The
Gaatlois expresses hope that this re-
port will be contradicted.-[P Paris Cor

THINK BEFORE You SpEND.-Do you.
really need the article? It is probably
pretty triae in dress, in furniture; but
what solid benefit will it be to you? Or
is it some luxury for the table, that you
can do as we'll without? Think, there
fore, before you spend your money. Or
you need a new carpet, new sofa, new
chairs, new bedstead, or new dress; you
are tempted to buy something little
handsomer than you had intended, and,
while you hesitate, the dealer says to
you, cts only trifie more, and see
how far prettier it is Will you be
the better year hence, much less in old
age, for having squandered your money.
Is it not wiser to ''lay by something for
rainy day?" All these luxuries crafty
you only for moment; you soon tire Of
them, and their only permanent effect is
to consume your means. It is by such
little extravagances, not much separately,
but ruinous in the aggregate, that the
great majority of families are kept COM
paratively poor. The first lesson to learn
is to deny yourself unless expenses; and
the first step toward learning this lesson
to think before you spend.

The WEBSTER PINKNEY SToRY.-The
Albany La,c Journal contains letter
from Bishop Pinkney, of Baltimore, pro-
testing against the probability of the
story in Harvey's =" "reminiscences, that
Webster extorted an apology from Pink
ney for language used in the courtroom.
We agree with Bishop Pinckney that the
anecdote, as told by Harvey, does not
comport either with the character of
Pinkney or with that of Webster. But
it is easy to imagine how it could have
assumed its present shape from very
different foundation of fact. The gossipy
and often-told anecdotes of Webster,
which Harvey bound up into SO attractive
sheaf, do not pretend to, nor merit, a
reputation for weighty historical accura-
cy. The facts probably were that Pink
ney used language in court which wound
ed Webster; that the latter afterward
went to Pinkney's room, and with i'm
pressive seriousness of manner stated his
sense of injury, and that Pinkney, touch
ed by the manliness of the appeal, met it
with an equally manly and voluntary
apology. This would be in accordance
with the known character of the men. and
is creditable to both of them. A gradual
addition of such little touches of imag-
ination as the recontean- uses to embellish
and round out his stories may have
brought the anecdote to the shape in
which it has attracted Bishop Pinkney's
criticism. outlets of the Lar.

A GOLDEN IHRONE.-A correspondent
of the Philadelphia Press, writing from
Santo Christie, says: As said before,
the throne is of solid beaten gold; the
shape is antique and clumsy, but gives
opportunity to dispose of more material
than otherwise could have been done if
the work had been more classic and less
thoroughly Jewish. The mercantile
value of Santo Christie is somewhere in
the neighborhood of $500 900, though
great many put it at higher figure. It
is, course, sacrilegious thing to do tc
give an estimate of dollars and cents on
Heavens belongings, but to one who has
been brought up where filthy lucre is
considered of some account, it becomes
second nature to come down to real hard
pan, especially where the subject is lucre
itself. Beneath the image walked some
half dozen ladies of high degree, dressed
in black, and closely yelled, who at every
rest fell upon their knees and told their
beads. The ladies were fulfilling vows
given at times of trouble, and are very
much respected and looked up to by
every one as persons who have felt the
power of Santo Christie, and in conse-
quence must be of more sanity life
though that always does not hold good
or specially beloved by our Lord. The
tales told of the wonderful efficacy of an
appeal to this saint are almost strong
enough to tempt one to put him to proof
in his own behalf, but as it requires a
sincere VOW, faith, and some stamps, I'm
afraid that for one shall never be bene-
flied by any miracles from the hand of
Azores, Santo Christie.

EXPORT OF AMERICAN BAcoN.-A Bos-
ton firm of exporters of bacon and other
produce some time ago complained to
the State Department of certain alleged
regulations of the German, Austrian, and
Italian Governments prohibiting the i'm
portation of American bacon into the
ports of those countries. The State De-
partment instructed our Ministers to
look into the matter. Lately Collec-
tor Merritt received communication
from the Treasury Department embody-
ing the replies received from our Minis
ters in Rome and Vienna. The former
replies that there is no general regula-
tion prohibiting the import of American
hams (which were specially referred toy
into italian ports. Mr.. Kasson, from
Vienna, says the same fer the ports of
the Austrian Empire; but he adds, for
the information of American exporters of
meats, warming that, if they want fair
treatment, they must 1e careful to select
for their correspondents men who are
shrewd enough to see that they get fair
play. Abe American export trade has
become so aggressive that European pro-
ducers are getting seriously alarmed.
They are likely, says Mr.. Kasson, to in
woke official and other influence to lessen
| it by discouraging the use of American
| products He mentions instances of the
prominent publication in the Austrian
press of large seizures of American hams
at Trieste, which, it was stated, had on
examination been found to contain trich-
MIA. There was reason to suppose that
| these examinations were not conducted
as impartially as they might have been
An offer was made to have them tested
with an equal number of Austrian and
American hams, but no Vienna paper
would publish it. Mr.. Kasson thinks
whatever troubles have arisen at the
ports about the introduction of American
bacon have been mainly caused by the
jealousy of the home producers.
