by the people and investing tho Board OF Chosen
Frecholders with power TO Ill vacancies occurring

given an opinion that the law does not interfere

power TO MI vacancies in their own body and con-
fers that duty upon the trecholders. On the other
hand Mr.. John W. Taylor. counsel for the Essex

The Dress Of the Greeks.

The distinguishing feature of the
dress of males among the Greeks,
says correspondent, is a white cot
ton tunic reaching nearly to the
knee, and looking very much like a
plated skirt. Over this is worn one
and sometimes two jackets, usually
plain but jaunty, and sometimes EN-.
broidered with lace, and around the
waist is bound q shawl or belt, with
the addition in mountainous districts
of leather wallet for q knife and
provisions. The legs are covered
with tight, knit leggings and the
feet with turned up shoes, ending in
a point, to which u tassel is fastened
The head is covered with a red scull
cap, with flowing blue tassel. A
shaggy white cloak, with a hood
sometimes thrown over the head,
completes the costume. In the cit
les, however, European dress is large
ly adopted.
The womcn-of the higher classes
who have not yet adopted French
fashions, wear a red skull cap, often
set with pearls, with q long gilt tas-
sci, an embroidered jacket fitting
close TO the body and a loose petit
coat of gay colors. We must con-
fcss that the costume is an extreme
ly attractive one, and often compell-
ed us to look twice at the rather
pretty young women whom we pass
ed in the streets of Athens. In the
interior, however, we found the wo-
men generally INDUCING in dirty
wrap around the shoulders, a dirtier
short skirt and still dirtier bare legs
and feet. Many of their customs re-
mind the traveller of Homer's de.
scription of their ancestors.

A Cotton Gin.

Very few persons at the North
have ever seen cotton gin, and
those who have not of course have very
vague ideas about its construction or
work. A cotton gin machine is not
as bulkyas an ordinary tanning mill.
1t is called u "saw GIN" because cir.
cular saws, about foot across, are
set upon q wooden cylinder, perhaps
half or three. fourths of an inch apart.
For largest sized gins, the cylinder is
five feet long. The saws run between
steel CRATES set in the back of the
feeding hopper, so that the teeth
reach just beyond the bars and catch
the fbers, which adhere strongly to
the seed, and pull them through the
openings between the CRATE bars,
leaving the seed behind.
The lint is cleared from the teeth
by revolving brushes, and is either
blown by fan through u spout to
the lint room, or else by an improv.
cd process is famed into large bats,
which can DO taken up and put one
after another into pile to form the

How u Great Silver Mine Was
Found.

Found.
Two miners sat down in the vii.
derness Of Southern Utah a few
months since to MUNICH their bread
and then pursue their wanderings
and their search for wealth, They
were "prospectors" Who having left
the beaten track OF treasure.seekers,
wandered of, to the amusement of
their fellows, into the comparatively
level country, where months Of
searching had revealed nothing.
ave had better get back into the
mountain country, JIM" said his
"pard."
AS he spoke his tool struck some.
thing few inches under the sand
and the prospector found fracture
on the rocks and picked up a small,
yellowish piece Of stone.
"What's that?" said Tom, as he
saw with what feverish earnestness
his "pard" examined the piece.
"Egad! ! think it's horn silvcr!"
They were out of provisions aud
clothes; they had not means with
which to pay the fee for securing
their "fnd." After opening up their
prize sufficiently to show that u vein
of ore existed, they offered it to Mr..
Ben Morgan, Of Pittsburgh, who is
operating smelling works a few miles
below Salt Lake City, for s18,000,-
Mr. Morgan sought the advice of the
superintendent of the Ontario mine.
Together they carefully examined the
new "fnd," and unfortunately for the
genial Ben they decided it was not
worth risking the money on. The
miners continued to open their veins,
but soon again were stranded, when
one of them wrote to two Irish
friends, who had already lost money
on supposed "fnds," and besought
them to try their luck once more
After much importuning they in
vested enough money to give the
miners good start, when the deyel-
opment Of the mine proceeded rapid
| ly. Four shafts were sunk and a
number of intermediate galleries run
which connected the shafts. The
work was pushed solely with a view
to show the magnitude Of the depos-
it. 1t was the marvel of the whole
country. Conservative old engineers
measured the ore,bodies actually in
sight, taking nothing for granted,
and numerous analyses in all parts
OF the mine to determine its rich.

ted the silver in sight as worth s27-

prize, secured an option of a one
