Anthony in California.

Hitherto no workable ores of anti
mony have been known in this coun-
try, the chief source of metal being
the Sarawak Mine in the Island Of
Borneo. Ten years ago, while pros
pecting in Kern county, California,
MIR. +. j. Weston discovered the sui
phuret of anthony in an old mine
worked long ago by a Jesuit society
tor gold. Tie property has since
been purchased BY Mr.. S. Boushey
and his two SONS. The ore thus far
taken out has been sent to France TO
be refined, and recently Dir. Boushey
passed through this city on his way TO
california, having just returned from
Paris, whittier he had been to make
arrangements for the erection Of re-
duction works at the site of the nine.
As described by Mr. Boushey to tho
Sun. the mine lies in Kern county, as
above stated, thirty-five miles south
OF Bakersfield, near Sumner Station,
on the Southern Pacific Railroad.
Between the head-waters of the San
Emidlo and the Pleito Canons there is
p mountain face which for four miles
consists of granite and porphyry COW
pred with fertile earth aud heavily
hmbered with pine. The lodges OF
granite and porphyry run parallel
With tho face Of the mountain and
liant with it at an angle of nearly
orty-five degrees. The anthony
9 found In true fssure, of which
here are only three other instances
p the world. There is one in Fret
berg, one in Chill, and one in Mexico.
This assure is the result of the uphea-
Fal OF what may be called one end of
he mountain, or of the depression of
s center. 1t strikes directly through
he mountain at right angles with the
frantic and porphyry lodges. The
(res with which it is filed were thrust
Up into it from below. At the top it
3 from thirty to one hundred feet
vide, but it widens as it descends.-
The assure has been traced across the
top Of the mountain five thousand
Get, and anthony has been found at
evcry point.
Mr.. Boushey says that he has push
ed four tunnels into his mine, one of
them seventy eight feet long. The
i0ok Is not hard, aud one man is able
to get ont half ton OF it a day, car
rying from thirty to sixty-ivo per
cent of antimony.

"Ballou's Monthly Magazine for
October. The leading articlein this
popular magazine for the month of
October is an Illustrated paper on the
city Of Tangier, Morocco, written by
one Of the chief engineers Of the Uni
ted States Navy, who is now on duty
IN the Mediterranean, and has prom
ised to send sketches of noted places
to the magazine during the year
The sketch is quite interesting, and is
told in IN of handed, sailor-like style,
that will commend itself to readers.
There Is great variety in this number
of Ballou's, and the stories are all
good. Captain w. IL. Macy, OF Man
tucket, the blind whaleman, has one
OF his interesting nautical yarns; and
Ar. William H. Themes, the author
OF The Goid-Huntcrs Of Australia, :"
and SO forth, tells us what he knows
about Utah and the Mormons. The
poetry Is all good, and n piece Of mu-
SIC called ''Thc Cradle Song" is worth
twice the price Of the magazine, &.

IN the course Of Senator Hereford's
speech in Charlestown, j efferson coun-
ty, we learn from the FREE Press he
referred 10 the fact that one of our own
citizens, who had been condemned to
death by Court Martial, but upon ap-
peal to Gen. Hancock the action of
the Court Martial was overruled.-
Col. r. w. Baylor was the gentle
man referred to; and if he had been
sacrificed, which would, probably,
have resulted if Hancock had not in
terferred, it would have been one Of
the most objectionable acts of the war.

One who has long and carefully
studied the causes OF the frightful in
crease Of solGmurder, says: "Idlencss
the rust and cauker of the mind, is a
most serious cause of suicide. Like q
slow and deadly poison, it preys upon
the faculties of man. 1t enteebles
and paralyzcs the understanding,
weakens the memory, clouds and
darkens the imagination, LAYS open
the mind to the incursion Of criminal
desires, and dimiuishes and naturally
destroys that hcalthtul and pleasur-
able sensation i'll which so much Of
our enjoyment consists. Itbring5 on
Iangu.l fcc!iugs, low spirits, hypo-
ch0nIriIca! affections and comulica-
ton Of bodily and mental torturcs,
which frequently render their subject
more miserable than the slave who
labars in chains. The idlcr turns ey-
crywhere, except to labor. for relief.
and finally destroys his life 10 end his
misery" On the other hand, con-
slant labor makes us capable of in
stinc,ivc or automatic action I'm our
respective spheres. The hands or.
the brain, or both together, become,
by repeated efforts, so accustomed to
meet the demands of each hour, that
they respond with ever increasin q
celebrity and ease, until what was once
irksomc and difficult becomes spon-
taneou- and agreeable. 1t would
seem that the words Of great author
wcrc true. at is SANDER on the
bible to say that it represents labor as
| g clrso." God made no mistake
whom Inc said. "In tie sweat of thy
ia-o thou shalt eat bread"

1t will be agreeable to all to know
that hospitality was rendered mo at
every city through which I passed
and accepted in nearly all Of them by
me. The samo decorations were
seen in every State that arc seen here
tonight. The Union flag foated ov-
or us every where, and the eyes Of the
people III those States are rs familiar
with its colors rs yours, and look
npon it as guaranteeing 70 them all
the rights and privileges ofa free poo
pie, without regard 10 race, color or
previous condition Of servitude. In
most Of the States upon the reception
commjtteo5, aide By side, we're tho
men who wore the blue and the men
who wore the gray, and reception nd
dresses were made in part By those
who wore the blue and those who

to doubt chat those who wore the gray
will fulfill all they have promised in
loyalty to tho flag and the nation.
