AN IMPROVED ORE STAMP.-J. ]. Wait,
of 0reana, says the Winnemucca Siluer
State, has invented new ore stamp, of
which be has applied for patent. The inn
provemenss consist of hallow stamp stem,
in combination with q, guide rod, making
the construction of the stamp cheaper and
the stamp less liable to get out Of order than
those now in use in quartz crushing batter
les. The inventor also claims that the
stamp car be run with less power than the
old stamp, and that any of the stamps in
the battery can be taken out and repaired
without interfering with the others. The
tappets are SO constructed that it is.impos-
sible for them toslip. The wooden gaidess
which mill men have long regarded - .
nuisance, are dispensed with altogetheE, and
only one bolt has to be removed to take ont

AN EMPERoR's REMARKABLE SPEECH
A most remarkable speech of the Emperor
Alexander to his troops at Odessa on the
9th instant is reported in the Russian press.
His Imperial Majesty was inspecting the
troops of the Eighth army corps quartered
at Odessa, and, after saluting the battalions
of the Fourth brigade of riflemen, stopped
his horse before the Thirteenth battalion,
which has the Prince Of Bulgaria for its
nominal chief. His Majesty shook hands
with the chief of the brigade, Major Gem
eral Krok, and, ordering forward all the
officers and those men who were the happy
possessors of the Order of St. George,
thanked them in the following words: !"
have long wished to see, and to-day am
very happy TO be able to thank you for
your heroic service" His Majesty then
took off his helmet and said, . Gentlemen,
in the name Of the whole Russian people
and the Russian troops, thank you for
your glorious work and heroic service. !"
Then, replacing his helmet, the Emperor
continued, - expected in general great
deal from my troops but You have sur
passed my antlcipations.a His Majesty
again shook hands with Major General
Krok and kissed hin on the cheek, amid
thunderlng hurrahs from the troops, which
were silenced for few moments while bis
Majesty further said: !" would like to en-
brace each one Of you, but you are too
many; therefore, in the person OF your
chief of brigade I embrace you all" This
most gracious speech Of the Emperor, de-
liversd with much fsrsor, called forth trs-
msndoua enthusiasm among the assembled
soldiers, who continued TO cheer until lis
Imperial Majesty quilted the ground.

Editorial Troubles.
Chicago Inter- Ocean

Chicago Inter Ocean. ~
The son of the late Macvey Napier, ESQ.,,
has just published section from the COR
respondence of his father, embracing a
number of letters received by Mr.. Napier
while hs was editor of the Edinburg Re-
view. Among his correspondents during
that period were some of the most distin-
guished men of the time: Macaulay,
Brougham, Lytton, Jeffery, Carlyle, Dick
ems, Thackeray, John Mill, and others.
They wrote him long letters proposing
articles, deprecating corrections. and OK
pressing opinions about the work Of others.
The publication of these letters form quite
an addition TO the curious literature of the
times. Not only does ir place in an anus
ing light some of the great literary men of
those times, but. as William Mimic says, it
gives the world a glimpse of some of an
editors troubles. We agree with that
writer, that an editor in his lifetime gets
but seant justice. He is lucky if he pos
sess q self approving conscience. Very
rarely does voice Of approval reach him
from the outside. Good narured friends
who write to congratulate him on his last
number, invariably append some irritating
+" but y which turns the praise into bitter
ness. When people are dlspleased with
anything in periodical OIL newspaper,
they lay the blame upon the editor; and
when anything strikes them as particularly
good, they wonder who wrote it. "This, !"
as Mr.. Mimic aptly observes. /" is as it
should be, but the poor editor-to whom,
it may be, some touch of the goodness is
due, and who has been compelled to retain
passages intensely Questionable to his
own taste, out of regard for the feelings
or the services of valuable member of
his staf-is apt to think that hard measure
is dealt out to him. And editor, in fact,
has all the worry Of a police magistrate,
without the statutes to direct him, without
the majesty Of the law to hedge hlm round
with respect, and with the paralyzing dis
advantage that many Of the offenders Who
appear in his court ara his own personal
friends and indispensable associates" a

The Moment Of Fear.

Bonaparte lost four aids de-camp during
the short time he was ia Egypt. One of
them, Croisier, appearing to Napoleon to
lack the proper degree of boldness at the
proper moment, he burst out against him
in one of his violent and humiliating at
tacks of abuse and contempt. The. word
coward escaped him; Croisier determined
not to survive it; he sought death on sever
Il occasions, but did not succeed till the
selge of Acre. He was in attendance on
Napoleon in the trenches there when such
q sharp look-ou was kept by the garrison
that if an elbow or feather showsd itself
above or beside them, it was Immediately
grazed by a bullet. Croisier watched his
opportunity and jumped upon the platform. j.
:" Come down, l command youi" cried
Napoleon, in voice of thunder; but it was
too. late; the victim of his severity fell at
his feet. Murat, the 4chivalrous braver of
all danger: had also his moment OF fear,
which lost him the countenance of his
general until displeasure could no longer
resist the brilliancy of his Achievements.
Il was at the seige of Mantua, in the first
Italian campaign, that Murat was ordered
to charge body Of troops that wers max
ing sortie from the garrison. He hesi-
tated, and in his confusion declared himself
wounded; he was removed from the pres
.ence of the general and in every way dis
countenanced. In Egypt he was sent out
of the more distant and dangerous services;
in short, he more than conquered his
character before the battle of Aboukir. on
which occasion Napoleon himself was
Obliged to declare he was snperb. The
brave Marshal Lannes one day severely
reprimanded colonel who had punished
young officer for moment of fear. "That
man. said be, sis worse than paltroon
who pretends he never knows fear" "A.

battalons of infantry, three regiments
of cavalry, and two brigades of artillery,
besides 1000 gend-armes, and 1000
waLchmen (vigilantes). Chill with q
population of 2,117,0O has two good
ironclad corvettes and four wooden war
steamers, besides some other ships
which are unservicab!e for war pur-

navy consists of forty-four guns, and the
personnel of 973 men. The CHILEAN
army comprises / 500 infantry, 200
cavalry, and 40 artillery, besides 5000
national guards. Bolivia has no navy,
and her army consists OF $4,000 men;
but it could easily be increased by the
system of recruiting prevalent in the
country, under which young and strong
men are torn from their families to
serve in the army. The population of
Bolivia is 2,3250OO."

NutiIlegs.

Nutmegs grow on trees which look
like pear trees, and are generally over
twenty feet high. The flowers are very
much like the lily of the valley. They
are pale yellow and very fragrant. The
nutmeg is the seed OF the fruit, and the
mace is the thin covering over this seed.
The fruit is about as large as n peach.
When ripe it breaks open and shows
the little nut inside. The trees grow on
the islands of Asia, and in tropical
America. They bear fruit for seventy or
eighty years, having ripe fruit upon
them at all seasons. 4 fine tree in Js-
maica has over a thousand nutmegs on
it yearly. The Datch used to have all
the nutmeg trade, as they owned the
Banda Islands, and conquered all the
other trades, and destroyed the trees.
To keep the price up, they once burned
three piles of nutmegs, each of which
was as large rs a church. Nature did
not sympathize with such meanness,

course, his coat is worked up over his

up his back he pronOunces Il benedic-

scious that about two inches Of red han-

Of his boots and the bott 7m of his trous-

more internal profanity and still more
violent struggles to back out, during
