The following extracts from letter
written by Mark w. Musgrove, editor
of the Ruby Hill Mining Report, under
date OF May goth, will be of interest to
our readers:
The place is two years old, and the
people the most hospitaLle to strangers
it has ever been my pleasure to meet.
Every courtesy is extended by those in
charge to ali ~ho desire seeing the fab
| ulously rich mines. Among the latter
is our friend I. Il. Butler. well known
to Neyadans as n polished gentleman
and a splendid fellow, withal. He Is
Superintendent Of the Whistler. Whale,
Old Man, Eureka, Mausfie not Josie,
and Cashier mines. The other proper
ties sufficiently developed, at present,
to be called mines, are the Custer,
Charles Dickens, Unknown, Conti-
mental, O'Connor, Summit, Paradise,
Lucky Boy, Badger. Anna, Pilot and
Montana. The latter, in which Capt.
ID. B. Narnoy is large owner, is one OF
the richest gold mines in tho world,
every foot OF which is being driven
down in the shaft being valued at
$1,000. An average Of the ledge for C
feet inches, taken by disintercsted
parties, returned S9gS per foot. The
Custer is another magnificent property,
and unless the ore goes $500 per ton. it
is thrown inside as useless for the pres
ent. The Charles Dickens is not be-

DOINGS IN CONGRESS.

Very little was done in the way of legislation
by either house on the hnal day of the extra SEES
sion, July 1. Ia the Senate. the House bill placing
quinlne on the free list was passed by an almost
unanimous vote. No further effort was made TO pa,
the Marshals Appropriation bill in either house but
in the Senate Messrs. Window and Eaton argued
the question of responsibility for the failure of the
bin. After the passage of the customary resolu
tons of thanks to the Vice President IWheeler)
and Vice President, pro tenn Thurman), the latter
at p. IN. arose and said senators: Thank.

adopted to-day, and for the kind aid you have uni
forInly given me. while temporarily performing
the duties of the chair and wishing you all safe and

A (hild Swallows a Pin.

A little over year ago little daugh-
ter of Mr.. Charles Schuyler, of this viii
lage, swallowed an ordinary brass pin.
Her parents were at first very much
alarmed, but time passed on, and, no i'll
ness ensuing, it was supposed that the
difficulty had been removed. In Sep
TENDER last the child began to show in
dications of illness, such as derange-
ment of the stomach, and intense pains,
which, in some instances, almost pro-
duced commissions. Added to these, q
large swelling came on her side, which
took the form of an abscess or tumor,
and medical advice was taken, the doc
tors, however, noo agreeing as to the
nature of the swelling. Finally it was
poulticed and lanced, and has been a
running sore until the present time.
Two or three weeks ago, as the child
was dressing, she complained to her
mother that there was silver in the
sore, and upon examination the mother
saw the point of pin projecting, and
pulled it out The child became quite
sick, and kept her bed for some time
afterward, bat is now better, and it is
supposed that, as soon as the virus Gre
ated by the pin is expelled from her
system, she will entirely recover. The
pin was incrusted with coating of rust
to double it's natural size, and must
have worked through the walls of the
stomach and through other organs in
order to reach the place where it was
found.-GeneseO (N. " Republican.

The Dignity OF the Senate.

1t is thought that the Senate is losing
its dignity. 1t never had much dignity
to lose, partly because it has had so
many Presidency-seekers in it, for to
seek the Presidency spoils mans tenn
per if it be good, and makes it worse if
it be bad. There used to be as hot fights
in the Senate as any that have occurred
in the present session, and displays of
black guardism were not entirely un-
known in that body. Henry Clay, being
Secretary of State, called out Senator
Randolph, and took shot at him, be-
cause old Roanoke blackguarded him in
the EXTREMIST style. How Mr.. Clay him
self came down upon Mr.. Choate in the
Senate is not forgotten, and MIR. Benton
and Mr.. Clay had stiff bouts, and so did

Watering Plants in Pots.

@How often shall i water nv plants?" is a
question so frequently asked that / shall
take 1t for my text this week. Many
plants require to be kept moist all the year
round, as Azaleas, India Rubber Tree, Myrtles,
Heaths, Jerusalem Cherry aud many others.
Some plants require a season of absolute rest.
and not one drop of water to be given them in
two or three months. Fuchsias, Lemon YER
benas, Grape Myrtles and several other shrubby
plants will winter in a dry cellar without one
drop Of water. About ss good rule az can
give in regard to watering plants is this: When
ever you zee the surface soil in the hower-p
has become like dry duet, then give water
enough to soak the plant thor ughly. Above
all things, avoid what il termed dribbling,"
and can best describe this from al iucident

ITEMS OF INTEREST.

NAILS grow more rapidly in children
than in adults, and faster in summer
than in winter. Those of the right
hand grow faster than those of the left,
and in proportion to the lergth of the
fingers. Those of the middle finger
are therefore the quickest in growth.
IF, says a writer in German paper,
we reckon that single grain of wheat
produces fifty grains, and that these
fifty will each produce fifty grams more,
and so on, we find:
In the second year 25oO grains
IN .he tia d i2o VUo grains
In the twe tn year. III l40. 625 UO0UUO grains.
The third years crop would give 300
men one meal, leaving enough bran to
feed eight pigs for one day. The pro-
duce of the single grain III the twelfth
year would suffice TO supply all the
inhabitants of the earth with food during
their lifetime.

means, as each of these toys must pass

The invention of beer as beverage is
ascribed to Osiris, twenty centuries be-
fore the Christian era and it was known to
the anciens as wine of barley. In the
modern times, the nationaities of Latin
origin drink wine more freely than
those of Saxon origin, who consume
much beer. The agriculture of Euro
pean countries is largely influenced
by the popular demand for
beverages. Within the last two
decades, beer has been rapidly
gaining favor in Latin countries.
Beer saloons now flourish in Paris,
Rome and Madrid, as well as in Berlin,
Vienna and Hamburg. In Paris, for
beer has risen to over 100000,0O0 liters
about 100000 gallons).
The story book picture of whaling, in
which man throws a harpoon from
the bow of boat, are no longer accu-
rate. OF late years the weapon gener-
ally used has been a bomb that is fired
from gun and exploded in the whales
body. A new implement of this sort is
described as follows: The lance weighs
seven and one-half pounds and contains
one and one-quarter pounds of gun
powder, and is propelled by a heavy
rocket. There being no discharge of
heavy gun, the recoil is push rather
than blow, and the bomb is ignited by
the rocket when the latter has burned
out. A chain toggle attached to the
front end of the rocket is released by
the explosion, securely holding the
whale, which, if not instantly killed,
cannot long survive the explosion.

The Grave Of John Randolph's Mother.

A correspondent writing from Mat
toax, in Chesterfield county, says: 1t
is not generally known that the remains
of Francis Fucker Blanche, the mother of
John Randolph, OF Roanoke, rest in the
soil of this plantation (where he was
reared), on high bluff overlooking the
Appomattox river and the city of Peters
burg. Her grave is under some oaks,
and is covered with a stone slab, on
which is written her name, her death
and age in Latin. There is no Enclosure
around the grave. The plantation is in
high state of cultivation, and Mr..
Randolph himself would not find fault
with the fine wheat and fruit growing
here to ay."-RichmOnd Wing.
