Tae fate Of Professor WISE, the aero

The Nevada Miner says aaag wherever
in auy part OF the world sjvCc mines
have been worked thsy' are worked
Dow, unless by war, the invasion of In
diaps, etc, the work has been stopped.
There Is 40 silver mining region in the
world that has given out. Mexican
mines worked by the AZtecs before the
COT uqueSt bg Clrl' are s'ill as proftf
bic as ever, The old Spanish mibSs,
opened long before HanBibai's tim,
are still worked with enormous prafi;s.
The South American mines have con-
stantly yielded their wealth for more
than three hundred years, and are AS
| productive as ever. Mines in Hungary
that were worked by the Romans before
the time OF Christ still yield an abund-
ance of ore.
Senator Hi, of George, is in New
York, with view OF seeing II eny hing
can be done, even atthe eleventh hour,
to heal the breach in the d N ,era C
ranks. de is 3 man who stands very
| high with both factions, bu5 there is no
reason to suppose that be can accom-
Dish anything as pescemsker between
Kelly AMI Tiden. The feu6 clearly is
too bitter snd too personal to yield to
outside persuasion or outside influence.
Other distinguished Democrats from
other States have tried their hands at
the same thing hereto ore, but hey hsYe
uniformly retired from the field, s.
heartened, ii not disguised. The Sem
ator from Georgia Can scarcely expecJ
20 succeed where Thurmanand Rlndall
and Eaton and Baysrd were unsble to
accomplish anything.
A New York letter of Monday says:
There was a general exodus of Epls-
copal clergy, along with many promi-
pent laymen, to Albany this afternoon,
in view OF The Church Congress which
as embles in that city to-morrsw. AS
heretofore remarked, there is no longer
any disposition on the par, of the High
ChuTchmen 20 stand aloof from TINS
body, snd, accordingly, you may ex-
peot 70 see among the participants nnt
a few clerics of that school, who would
nave shrunk from recognition of it IN
any way when it wss first launohed.
The fact may be accepted as conc nsive
evidence that the Church st large is IN
full sceord with the mental sctivities OF
toe time. and Is resoiv d, as far as ITS

The year 1879 viii be remarkable
among other things for the first exten-
sive adoption Of the telephone as y
convenient vehicle Of communication.
We, in the United States, are s;ill much
ahead of all The rest of the world in the
ready adsptation Of this wonderful in
strument. The London papers only
