New Remedy for Small P0x,

From numerous experiments made in
the great hospital at Poser, Prussia, it
appears thst ice is most effectual rem.
edy against smallpox. One of the pa.
tients, in fit of delirium, escaped to
the garden, where the snow lay two feet
deep. There he remained the whole
night, with no covering but his shirt
On the following morning the fever had
subsidized and the pustules had dried
This strange circumstance attracted the
physicians attention, and, after consult.
alton, they determined to keep the tenn
perature of the smallpox wards very
low, and apply small quantities of ice tc
the patients. The results surpassed
their expectations, and at the end of 9
week all the patients had recovered.

No Jewish Divorce Cases.

Plenty of divorce cases before the
courts of Hamilton county, ss usual,
and no Jewish names among them. We
have watched for years the law reports
of st. Louis, Louisville, chicago and
Cincinnati, on this special point, and
found no Jew in the crowd. Judge
Storer, of this city, several years ago,
had such q case before him. On the
trial the husband failed to appear, and
the Judge adjourned the case, because,
as he said, there appeared to be some
thing wrong about it. In his long
practice he never had heard of a case
of divorce among Jews.-Cincinnati

Innocent Simplicity.

One of the assistants at the Postoffice
happened to be standing at one of the
delivery windows, the other day, when
buxom damsel of about 1S summers,
hailing from Berrytown, $ -epped up and
asked if stamps were sold there. Upon
being told that they were, she said she
wanted to buy 81 worth.
"One dollars WORTH" repeated the
smiling assistant: "of what denomina-
tion?"
The damsel showed symptoms OF en-
barrassment, and hesitated to reply.
She twirled her shawl fringe nervously,

near, moved little closer to the win

voice:
"Do you hef to write it DOWN."
"By no MEANS" answered the cour-
teous assistant; "tbat is not necessary ;
but l presume you have somo prefer

KNOXVILLE AS AN IRON CENTRE
BY j. B. KILLEBREW. A. NJ, PEI. D.

By J. B. KILLEBREW, A. NJ, PHI D.,
Commissioner of Agriculture, Statistics, Min $
and immigration for the State Of
Tennessee.
East Tennessee possesses the three crest
leading iron ores--the great belt Of brown
hematites, extending along the foot of the
Unaka mountains, running in q general
southwest and northeast direction near and
almost parallel with the southeastern
boundary; the seams of rossiliferous dye
stone, Clinton or red hemstite ores, which
lie in ridges along the foot of the Cumber-
land table-lsnd and parallel with it, occu-
plying the northwestern boundary of East
Tennessee; the magnetic ores, which are
found in vast quantities in North Carolina,
running into Tennessee, and found in con-
siderable quantities in Carter county. The
designated location of the red and brown
bemstites is only approximately correct,
for both varieties are found, and ia large
quantities, on both sides, while CON.
siderable deposits and some very
rich and extensive banks are found
in all the territory intervening between
the two main leads of iron ore The largest
deposits are found, however, in the foot
minor ridges lying at the sou heastern foot
of the Cumberland mountains, while the
deposits between ramifs numerous bills
and ridges, and. in the aggregate. will
supply an almost ixexhaustibie amount of
both red and brown hematites.
OF the territory enclosed between two
nearly parallel ranges of mountains, and
comprising about g. 30 square miles, Knox
vile is the exact centre, whether the dis
lance be measured due east and west, due

If this analysis is correctly made and
fairly represents the ore, of which there is
no reason for doubt, the bank near Nor
ristown must be considered one of the
most valuable in the state as far as quality
goes; the question of quantity can DC de-
termed only by more extensive cuts and
excavations.

in which there is only trace of phos.

In Sewer county, f We miles east of Straw
berry Plains, are good beds OF brown ores.
Knox county contains chiefly the fossili-
ferrous red hematite ore, seams of which
be in near the FORK of the Holston and
to Strawberry Plains. it is
said to be from eight to ten feet
thick--9n exceptional thickness-and will
supply a large amount of ore. Viii G this
ore is high in phosphorus, it occurs in such
great quantities and lies so easily sccessi-
Die, both by river and rail, and so con.
venient TO Knoxville, that 1t will prove
valuable supply for lower grades of iron.
1t yields 81 per cent. of metallic iron and
about per cent. Of phosphorus, 8 per cent
of water and nearly 10 per cent. of SLICE
Gus insolubie matter.
Brown hematites occur in considerable
deposits below Knoxville. between the
river and railroad, convenient for trans
portation By both.
