The Republican State COnventiOn-Its
 Action Endorsed by the Central Com-
 mittee-GlO wing EuiOgy of Grant.
 NEW YORK, March 16.-At the regular monthly meeting of the Republican Central Committee held tonight, ex-Collector Arthur in the chair, the following resolutions were adopted with applause:
 Resolved, That the representatives of the Republican party in the city of New York en- dorse and approve the actions of the State Convention held at Utica on the 25th of Feb ruary last.
 Resolved, That we commend the determina- ton of that convention, that the influence and vote of New York in the next National Con- vention of the Republican party shall not be frittered away or left depending upon the per sonal prediction of delegates, and that the voice of the New York delegation shall be an authorized, clear and single utterance of the true wishes of the united party of union in the empire States.
 Resolved, That the State convention ex- pressed the true wishes of the Republicans of New York, promoted the interest of the Republican party and gave 8 new earnest of the welfare of the republic when they instructed the delegates to the National con- ventIon to cast the vote of New York for U. s. Grant.
 Resolved, That in our judgment the grave importance of the next national election is yet but faintly appreciated by the people; that the check to our business prosperity the destruction of our national faith, the re- vival of the results of the war, the nullifi- cation of constitutional amendments passed to secure these results, the reinstatement of slavery under another name, are threatened by the rule of confederate Congress in our national capital, and tho possible ascen- dency of solid South.
 Resolved, That the surest guaranty of con- tinued prosperity, perpetuity of good govern mont for our country will be found in recalling to tho helm the modest and great man, who after commanding armies, after saving his country on the battlefield, and after twice governing it chief magistrate, retired into private life followed by the gratitude of his fellow citizsns and the admiration of all men.

A Mad Dog Excitement.

NEW YORK, March 16.-Monday the resi- dents of Morgan and Henderson streets, Jer- sey City, were aroused by the cry of mad dog In minute all was excitement. Men. women and children armed with brooms, sticks and stones, rushed into the street. The dog, a small black and tan, foaming at the mouth, was seen running up Morgan street followed by hooting and yelling throng. Suddenly the dog turned upon his pursuers, and they scattered for the nearest refuge. Although about fifteen or twenty tried to get through one door simultaneously by pushing and climbing over each other, it did not .sake many minutes to clear the street. The dog was soon after shot dead by gentleman in Washington street.

Celebrated Gamblers,

As a matter Of course. the St. Louis papers
are thoroughly posted in regard to the most
celebrated gamblers in the country, together
with their names, mode Of life. etc. The st.
Louis POST Dispatch las been exposing its

sketch Of one of the most celebrated in the
world: No man ever got rich throwing
monte, and Of the many who have followed
the vicisitudes of the game for years, none are
to-day worth CROUCH to purchase a frst-cIass
funeral in case of their sudden demise. They
have all proven victims Of faro, and money
won from countrymen or ignorant city folk
has, in its turn, gone over the green cloth into
the NAV of the tiger. The king-bee of all
the monte men was Canad Bill, now dead
and in his grave. His experience was re-
markable, and he is said to have made SO
900 Oh one train in the East in a distance of
100 miles. 1t is thought he made a fabulous
fortune at card throwing, although he played
faro until he died penniless at Council Bluffs,
Iowa, a few years ago. Just as we'll to die
now" he said, when informed by his physic-
ian that medicine could not save him, adding:
Il might as well cut and jumpthe game now,
because the cream of the monte has been
skinned. There won't be another war, they

out in great beads on his brow the old tima

dead. When it became too hot for Canada
Bill in st. Louis he removed to Chicago, and
there in the wicked city by the lake he made

the thing away to the reporters, and allowed
himself to be interviewed for the express puT-

High Art Theatrical Criticism.

Mary Anderson is a marvel, and can take
ming than any of them. She is about six feet
in height when in repose but when her frame
is charged with emotions and she gets mad or
excited, she seems to raise right up ont of the
stag. and telescope until she is eighteen or
nineteen feet high, and others look like
.dwarfs.
She is the most versatile actress we ever sat
in front of. At times she would put on a
sweet, lovely look, and you would have to be
held by two persons to keep you from rush
ing on the stage and tell her that you loved
her like a steam engine and then she would
put on a dying look, and a wild, scared, des-
.peratc expression, so you would want to rush
out after IL doctor. At times we would give Il
million dollars On notes) to be in the place
Of Clifford, who didn't seem to know that she
wanted him tC hug her and then again when
she got sassy at him, and begin to roll her
eyes. and her breast began to heave, and She
began TO swallow something, and look as
though she was dying for a drink. we
wouldn't have been within reach of her for
$500.
1t was a singular study when her breast got
to heaving. She must have a suit Of lungs
ike a blacksmith's bellows, and when in her
excitement she would exhaust them she
would look so thin that You could trace her
Wishbone with the naked eye; but when in
her passion. her lungs became inflated, her
bust rounded out. and Der dress fitted her
like the paper on the wall. and then all she
lacked was her own natural Mary Anderson
>mile to make the average man give a Pacific
railroad Ifsle were his.
Again. in the matter of weeping, Miss An
Ierson holds over all of them. 1t is said that
Mary has never been in love, and knows
nothing Of that holy passion. except what she
has been told. II such is tn case She has had
the best teacher in the world, for her love
making is tn" most perfect ever seen upon
the stage. If We have said enough to show
that we consider Mary Anderson the best on
the STAGE, in our awkward way, then that is
all right. That Is what we started out to do.

Mr.. Anthony is now the father of the
Senate having been in continuous service
since December ). 1859, and he certainly
looks younger to-day than he did ten years
ago. Mr.. Bayard is a much younger man,
whose bearing and features recall the sculp-
tured type Of the Roman leaders of the
Augustan age. Judge Thurman. who moved
a recess while the committee was gone, looked
weary and sad, as if thinking of what might
have been; but he evidently enjoyed a chat
with his legal crony, Senator Edmunds, who
sported a dashing blue frock coat, and Senator
Conkling, whose heavy walk and look shove
that years OF srrupulously careful habits of
ea1ing and exercise have not secured him
health. He was dressed in black, with his
usual care, and sported a hutton-hole bouquet.
His lair is growing whiter and thinner. and
his stcel-gray eyes lack their old fire. 1t was
remarked that he seemed to have passed the
physical meridian of his life. Conkling en-
tered after the player was begun, and with a
stately strid" approached his seat like the
ghost in "Hamlet.' His changed appearance
created general comment.

NOrdenskjOiG's Conclusions.

Professor Nordenskjold's recent Arctic ex-
petition has led him to the following results
regarding the practicability of Il commercial
route along the coast Of northern Siberia:
l.. That a voyarge from the Atlantic to the
Pacific Ocean, along the coast of Siberia, may
frequently be made in a few weeks by a vessel
specially adapted and manned with expert
enced seameI, but that so far as the coudi-
tions of the Siberian Polar Sea are al present
known. the entire route can hardly have any
practical Importance for trading purposes.
2. That there are no obstacles to CONNER
cial traffic through the waters between the
mouths of the Obi and Jenesei and Europe.
3. That in all probability a sea passage
between the Jenesei and Lena, and between
the lena and Europe, as a trade route is also
possible, providing the out and h%omeward
voyage be not undertaken in one summer
4. That further researches are requisite
before it can be decided whether the waters
between the mouth Of the Lena and the Pa
C tic are available for mercantile navigation.
The experience already collected shows,
however, that steamships with heavy impie-
ments and other goods, not easily to be for
warded by land or ~sle,ges, may at any rate
pass from the Pacific to the Lena.

A gold refinery is about to go into opera
ton at Buffalo for the treatment of refractory
ores by a comparatively new process. The
old file works of that city have been secured
for this purpose and are being adapted to the
new business. The ores which are to be used
will come from the gold and silver regions of
the West. Canada and the South. Mines
which, although very rich, have hitherto been
practically useless on account of the refrac-
tory char acter of their ores will now, it Is
promised. assume their real value, and be
vigorously operated. .. ....
The ore is to be refined by what is termed
the " distillation process" The furnace is
built like all blast furnaces, with a pipe ruiz
ming nearly horizontal to a perpendicular
brick stack. Into the pipe, near its connec-
ton with the furnace, a jet of steam is
allowed to enter. The ore, after being dis
titled, or, as more familiarly termed, burnt
out, passes through with the steam into the
brick stack, near the intersection of which it
comes in contact with a stream of cold water.
This deposit is known as pcr-sulphuret of
gold and silver. The heat of this furnace is
gained in an entirely rev manner.
The ore is heated in the furnace until the
slag-that is, the seCiment-shows no gold
by an assay. After lie metal reaches tie re-
ceivin" vessel in tn" shape Of a~per-sllphurct,
it is melted dow with lead, and cupplled.
lie cule!s III "nith WIS last process IS
performed are made of bones, which are
burnt, then ground as fine as flour, after
which they are NEEDED into small vessels.
The loaded bullion is chem run into these
cupeis, and then set in small furnaces, known
as muiied furnaces. In these the heat is
brought to about 1000 degrees; the lead is
oXidized, and the gold and silver are left in Il
pure state in the CupclS.
The metal has now reached Il combination
Of gold and silver, and the next work is TO
separate these. The .cuprls are taken into
the wctroOm, where the two are disunitcd 10y
various acids-tlcir usc depending on the
nature of the compound. After the two are
parted they are separately put through all
other acid test after which they are melted
into ingots.-Imcrtc0n ManTnctuTer.
