The only true way to shine, even in

power of all of us, but simplicity and
straightforwardness are.

WHAT CAN BE DONE BY DRAINAGE.-A
correspondent of the New York Times,
writing from Goshen, N. Y, gives an
account of what can be done by little
enterprise, in the way of converting swamps
into good arabic land. He says:
When the Erie railway was being con-
structed the engineers encountered a vast
morass in the town of Chester four miles
east of this village. 1t covered nearly
five hundred acres, and was filled with
treacherous quagmires and springs that
were almost bottomless.
Twenty years ago farmer conceived
the idea of draining portion of the tract
and making tillable soil. By ditching,
he reclaimed sixty acres. The first acre
he bought, cost him one dollar. When it
was found that the draining left us a soil
the finest of black muck, composed almost
entirely of vegetable mold, the price
advanced to seventeen dollars an acre.
After the sixty acres were reclaimed, the
price still further increased, until to-day
as high as one thousand dollars has been
paid for the reclaimed land. The ruling
price is five hundred dollars an acre.

AT SEA.-The elephants and all other
wild animals transported by steamer are
confined in the strongest kind Of boxes,
and the boxes themselves are secured in
the firmest manner. In storm the lions,
tigers and hyenas prove the greatest cow
ards. They also suffer a great deal from
seasickness, and whine about it. The ele-
plant utters few sounds when he is sea-
sick, but he sways his great head from
side to side and looks unutterable
things" The horse is the most nervous
and sensitive animal that goes to sea, and
hen shows the most utter disgust with
| life when seasick.

1t has recently been discovered that
the soapstone taken from the Stockbridse
Company's quarry, near Colfa1, contains
gold. which is found in the sulphure,s
carried by portion of the stratiacation.
The gold is not found in the stone itself,
but the sulphursts are said to carry
high per cent. of tho precious metal. We
are not informed as to what width the
qualification carries the sulphurets, but
are told there is plenty of it. A difficulty
would DO found. however, in separating
the sulphursts from the soapstons BY the
ordinary battery process, as the latter
would certainly be of such a clayey char
acter as to clog the mortars. But should
the sulphurets be found in great quantity
doubtless q mode could be adopted for
practical and cheap separation. But
whether that could be realized or not, the
discovery is certainly o curious one,
aad goes to show that quartz veins OF
those foothills are not the only gold
