On the 800 foot level the contractors are
pushing the drifts east and west as rapidly as
possible. Raising "a tons of first class, and
considerable second class, ore daily.
The completion of the repairs on the pump
greatly facilitates the working on the 500 foot
level, and, should no accident happen, this
level will soon be as thoroughly opened as
the 200 and 500 foot levels.
The Upton Mime,
owned by John Noyes and John Collins, has
a shaft down 70 feet in a very heavy ledge
formation carrying a body OF ore about 10 feet
wide, which, however, is mostly of a low
grade, although some of it assays very high.
No drifts OR crosscuts have been run, so this
claim may be considered as yet u~nprospected.

MECHANICAL AND SCIENTIFIC.

Fifty years ago Stephenson ran his first en-
CINE over iron rails in England. There are
now one hundred and fifty thousand miles of
iron rails in the world, of which more than
half are in this country.
DR.. Landerer, a Hungarian naturalist writes
from Athens that a dead African eagle GvDac-
tHs borbatus, was lately found at Mama, on
the Southern Greek coast. On examining
the bird, an iron-headed arrow, over a foot
long, Was found transfiXed under one of the
wings. Evidently the eagle had been fired at
and struck in Africa by some native, and had
borne the arrow in its body in its flight over
the Mediterranean until it fell dead from ex-
haustion on touching Maina.
The London Lancet says that paper collars
prepared with arsenic in some form produce
first a local skin disease, but when once the
cuticle has been removed the toxic effects NAV
become general, because ABSORPTION is then
very likely to take place, and the whole sys-
TEN may be poisoned. alt is certainly time
that the processes of manufacture should be
placed under official inspection, if, for the
sake at cheapness OF to give artificial luster
to their goods, makers will use dangerous
dyes and dressings, regardless of everything
but their W commercial success"
Professor st. George Mivart says: KIT is
now known that a variety of animals habitu-
ally reproduce their kind, as plants largey do,
by a process of external budding. This hap
pens, for example, with the hydra and ami
mails like it. Animals may even be propagated
by cuttings. Thus, if a hydra or the COM
mon sea-anemone (anthea) be bisected, each
half soon grows into perfect form once more,
and many worms (such as scyllis, or canten-
ula), and many animalcules called infusoria,
habitually multiply by self-made sections, that
is, by spontaneous division of f~ission."
About three o'clock on the 18th of June l
picked up a female butterfly, the head of
which had recently been plucked off by a bird,
and was lying near the body. Thinking it
was dead, 1 carried it home to the
wing scales. On clipping off a bit of wing
about four hours afterwards, the legs moved,
and in a short time an egg was laid. Others
followed, until five and twenty had been ex-
PEELED. The laying then ceased, and the
headless mother seemed dead. Next morn
ing, on touching her, the laying was resumed.
On close examination a heaving of the wings
and rings of the abdomen could be observed,
with about the frequency of human breath
ing. At the end of twenty-nine and a halt
hours from the time of finding the laying
ceased; seventy-eight eggs were laid by the
butterfly with her head off.-Cor. Nature.

The eastern Republicans are raising a fear
full disturbance because Governor Garcelon.
of Maine, threw out some illegal Republican
votes cast at the late election in that State.
As the Stalwarts did the same thing with some

Republicans complain.

THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ROW.

: WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-Since his
defeat 1t appears, from conversation
among Republican and Democratic
Senator'S, that Senator Conkling has
taken particular pleasure, during cNccu-
tive sessions and other occasions, in an
nOying those Senators who chose to ex-
ercisc their own Judgment in their
votes on the New York nominations,
1t appears that during tho executive
session OF Saturday, when an adverse
report from the Committee on Conn
merce was being discussed, Senator
COnlliing undertook, in his usual arrO-
CANT manner, to lecture Senator Burn
side on his course in the Senate, stating,
in a sarcastic, sneering way, that he
was tho apologist and tool of the Adj
! ministratiOn, concluding with the re-
| mark, And has the. Administration
come down to this?" Senator Burn
side dis'lainfHily replied that he was
tho tool Of no man, and if the Senator
| asserted he was, he was q liar. a pro-
fniaent Democratic Senator, in aiiud-
ing to this matter, said tonight Sena-
tor burnside was one OF tho most hon
orablc members Of that body, never
indulging in any discourtcOlls remarks
to his brother Senator'S; that If the
Senator from Now York were to shape
his own course on the example of the
Senator from Rhode Island, he would
be more tOlerable even to his own
friends. 1t was stated tonight that
the violent and ovcrbcaring conduct of
Mr.. Conkling in the Senate had of late
provoked much Indignation, and been
carried to such an extent that several
Senators, particularly from the South,
are waiting for an opportunity. 1t
au,sh kn
last session Mr.. Conkling addressed an
offensive remark to Gen. Gordon,
which came near ending in an affair
of honor, and which was with great
difficulty adjusted by the influential
friends OF both parties.

THE DISCOVERY OF MATCHES.

The story of this discovery has been
told by Mr.. Holden himself in the
House of Commons before select COM
mittee appointed to enquire into the
working OF the Patent laws. We cam
not do better, therefore, than to give it
in his own words "I began as an in
ventor on very small SCALE" said Mr..
Holden, In the course Of his evidence.
" For what I know, I was the first
inventor of lucifer matches but it was
the result of a happy thought. In 1.-THE
morning I used to get up at O'Clock
In order to pursue my studies, and l
used at that time the flint and steel, in
the use of which found very great
Inconvenience. I gave lectures in
chemistry at tho time in q very large
academy. OF course knew, as other
chemists did, the explosive material
that was necessary to produce instan-
famous light; but it was very difficult
to obtain light on wood by the expio-
sivc material, and the idea occurred to
me to put under tho explosive mixture
sulphur. did that, and published 1t
In my next lecture, and showed it.
There was young man in the room,
whose father was q chemist in London,
and he Immediately wrote to his father
about 1t, and shortly afterward lucifer
matches were issued to the world. 1
believe that was the first occasion that
we had tho lucifer match, and 1t was
one OF those Inventions that some poo
pie think ought not to be protected by
a patent. think that if ali inventions
were like that, or if we could distin-
guish one from the other, the princi-
plc might hold good. If all inventions
were ascertained and carried out into
practice with rs much facility as in this
case, no one would perhaps think of
taking out patent. was urged to
go and take out IA patent Immediately;
but thought it was so small q matter,
and 1t cost me SO little labor, that did
not think it proper to go and get a
patent, otherwise 1 have no doubt it
would have been very profitablc."-

HISTORICAL. MESSAGES.

A curious list might be made of the
strange methods employed in trans
uniting many important messages.
The intelligence which enabled Cyrus
to overthrow tho Mciian monarchy
was conveyed in the body of AZ hare
sent him as II present. Tho instigntor
of the 1ontan revolt against Persia sent
his agent, trusty slave, with verbal
orders to shave his head, when tho
necessary instructions appeared traced
on the skin beneath.
During Mohammed's wars letters of
this kind were frequently plated in
the long hair of female Slaves. The
medieval fashion OF writing in ink
which only became visible when held
to the fire Is we'll known; but Cardinal
Rtcheiieu surpassed even this by his
device of dispatch whose alternate
lines made an entirely different sense
from that OF tho letter rs whole.
One OF the French chiefs during the
Fronde war concealed an important
letter In a roasted crab. III
Warren Hastings when blockadetl in
Benares by Cheyte Singh, appraised the
English army OF his situation by dis
patches written upon rolied-up siips of

1t would not be possible to find in
the whole record of politics anything
more hrazcnly impudcnt than tho an
nouncemcnt that tho Teller committee
have not found time to inquire into
Republican election frauds in Massa-
chnsctts and New York, but that they
will request the Senate to authorize
them to sit during the approaching
recess and report ut the December ses-
sion of Congress. So the Republicans
imagine they can muzzle investiga-
tons OF their own frauds by bequeatl,-
Ing packed committees to tho Demo
cratic Senate! Tho Senate will bt,
likely to continue this inquiry after tho
4th OF March; but it will certainly not
be so foolish as to leave 1t in charge of
Il Republican majority.
