The Mojada Mines Muddle.

Mexicans prospect mines on American
Territory without hindraHce, on an equal
ity with native Americans, and 1t therefore
comes with poor grace from Mexico to
attempt to prevent Americans from pros
pecting the Mojada mines. Millions OF
dollars have been taken out Of California
and Nevada by Mexicans. Mexico may
rail about an American invasion. but un-
der international law and existing treat
les. Americans have as much right TO emil
crate to Mexico as Mexicans have To emil
crate to the United States, and no doubt
our Government will protect its citizens
in that right. Il will be cowardly dere-
LECTION il it does not. The prospectors
who may go to Mojada will not go as nj
libusters; they will have no political ends
in view, hut will 90 as peaceful emigrantS,

New Crasher.

The Blake Crusher Company, Of New
Haven, have recently perfected a new ma
chine, called the Challenge Rock Breaker.
or Sectional Cushioned Crusher, and in
examining its construction we can only
wonder how the old machine could have Div
en- such universal satisfaction for so many
years when there was so much room for
Improvement. IT. the new Blake all tens
lie strains are upon wrought iron or steel,
instead of cast iron, as in the old machine.
1t is sectional, ard the weight of the heav-
lest piece Of the largest crusher 10 only
2,4eO pounds. 1t has double the strength
Of the old form and ut the same time its
construction is such that 1T possesses
high degree Of elasticity. The first large
machine made by the Crusher Company,
was tested by throwing between the Jaws
steel sledge, while the machine was
running POE revolutions per minute. This
test, which would have broken any form
OF crUsher hitherto made, simply stopped
this machine without damaging it. The
stroke of the jaws may be maintained at
any desired length, whatever wear on the
toggles, ETC., may have been. It is only
two thirds the weight Of the old crusher.

Mrs. Child relates these anecdotes OF
William Lloyd Garrison, in the Atlantic
Monthly for August:
1t was common charge against Mr..
Garrison that he used hard aud abusive
language; and he undou btedly had = pre-
dilection for strong epithets, which think
was partly owing to his being very thor
ou2hiy lmbued with the phraseology OF the
Bible. II was sometimes said OF him that
he needed To be prayed for after the fash
ION OF Massachusetts, min ster In the oldsn
time, WHO thus petItiOned the throne of
grace In behalf OF brother clergyman
We pray thee TO teach him more modera-
lion In his speech; for thou knowest, o
Lord. that he Will take beetle 10 brush a
ny from a mans face, when a feather
would so as we'll" This was not, how
ever, strictly applicable to Mr.. Garrison,
tor he was dealing wiki something more
formidable than flies, and weapons strong
er than feathers were needed. He reused
his audiences a. no coiner OF smooth aud
eieea phrases could possibly have done.
Samue! j. May, whom he always stirred
To the depths OF hi. gentle nature, AFTER
listening 10 the vehement outpourings Of
his righteous Indignation, exclaimed,
why, Brother Garrison, you are All on
fite." To which Mr.. Garrison replied,
with characteristic solemn!ty OF voice aud
manner, Brother May, have need to be
ali on ire, for | have mountains of ice
around me 10 melt" Margaret Fuller, In
answer 10 the charge OF hard language, on
lie part OF Mr.. Garrison, said, lit Is no
wonder that he speaks loud, when he has
20 long been calling to deaf people" His
character, had, undoubtedly, a strong
stamp OF Puritanism, partly 10 his orgahi-
Zatlon. and partly the result Of being reared
in an atmos phere of Cslvinism. But when
he encountered a reasonable, manly antag-
ouist. no one could be more courteous in
debate than he. While travelling on
steamboat, he accidentally fell into conver-
sation with a stranger, who proved to be Il
South Carolinian. The subject of slavery
was almost immediately Introduced. for IN
those days SOutheruers were even more
alert 70 vindcate their peculiar iestitu-
tion" than the abolitiouIsts were 10 attack
it. Mr.. Garrison. in reply to the state
ments of his companion, frankly avowed
that he was himself an ultra abolitiOnist;
aud he went or to explain why he thought
the abolition OF so bad a system would
prove equally beneficial to the white race
aud the colored. The Southern gentle
man listened with apparent interest, and
prolonged the conversation till the steam
boat landed. At parting, he said, Il am
pleased 10 have met you. II all the aboii-
ZIONIST were like you, they would not be
such disturbers of the peace; but as for
that violent fellow Garrison, who is trying
TO instigate the slaves TO cnt their masters
throats, that fellow ought to be slenced."
