The Baltimore Gazette has an account
of gold mine which in being worked in
Montgomery County, Md. The farm
upoa which the mine is situated was
bought BY the Montgomery County Min
ing Company about year ago for about
SIC, 900. Operations, however, were not
actually begun until recently. The Com
papy has some thirty hands at work, has
sunk five shafts, varying from twenty to
eighty feet in depth, from which have
been taken eight hundred toms of ore
and has two steam engines Of fourteen-
horse power kept constantly going. A
number Of out-buildings, boarding houses,
q Superintendent's house, stables, &C.,
have been erected and the neighborhood

extracted BY pulverixing and then wash

removed to the stamp-mills The crush
ing Of last Monday, when the stamp-mill ]
was first put in operation, proves beyond
a doubt that gold really exista As early
as 1927 gold was found in the neighbor-
hood, and numerous attempts were sub
sequently made to work the mine, which
failed for the want of capital to obtain
tho necessarily expensive machinery. In
1871, when a stone containing gold
which brought on the market $163 As
was found, the project was again revived
and attracted the notice Of the Baltimore
capitalists. Although the exact value
of the mine can not be estimated, the
President of the company is confident
that if the vein which is now being
worked traverses any considerable dis
tance, which he has every reason to sup
pose is the case, the company will realize
heavy profits on its investment.

Risks Of Matrimony as Business.
TParis Corespondence.1

A very singular case has come before
the Civil Tribunal, in which the decision
of the court will probably be regarded
hereafter as an important precedent. The
question raised was whether debt con-
tracted for services rendered by matri.
monial agents is legally binding. The
following are the facts: General the
Baron de Juniac in 1877, by means Of an
agency, whose motto is "Speed, discre-
ton, prudence and success" was placed
in communication with Nine. Pre-Reg.
nier with view to matrimony. Both
parties had been previously married,
The Baron's age was 81, and Nine. Pre-.
Regniers 30. The agency is carried on
BY two ladies, to whom the Baron de

representing 5000 francs had been giver
by Baron de Juniac to the agents, bu

if Lord Beaconsfeld can rule events the
general election will take place next No

bored. He can aspire to nothing more,
and he will rest satisfied with the high
social position of an ex-Premier. He is
not man who forgets injuries, and can
imagine with what pleasure he will read
the returns Of the next general election,
and watch the utter collapse Of the party

A Long.Lost Brother Heard From,
Madison (Wis) JoufnalJ
Every old Msdisonian knew the Ston-
ers--the father, John Stoner, and the
three sons, George W., John H., and
James F. Fifteen or sixteen years ago
John Fl. left Madison to seek his fortune
in the far West, and since then has
neither returned 10 the city nor given
his family any clue to his whereabouts.
1t finally came to be settled conviction
that he was dead, but when the elder
Stoner died, seven or eight years ago,
last desperate effort was made to ascer-
tain the facts relative to the absentee.
He had been indirectly heard of in New
Mexico a year or two previous to that,
and advertisements were inserted in the
papers, not only Of that, but Of other
Territories and States abutting the
Rocky Mountains.
The notices elected no response, and
the family were about giving up the
search when George W. Stoner received
a paper published at Seattle, Washing
ton Territory, by Beriah Brown, an old
time Madisonian, giving an account Of
terrible tragedy at Austin, New, where
in one John Stoner, said to have rela-
tives in Wisconsin, was reported to have
been murdered. This appeared to settle
the matter. and the estate of the senior
Stoner was thereupon administered, TAX
ing it for granted that John H. was dead.
This morning, fifteen years since John
last communicated with his friends, and
seven or eight after the systematic search
for his whereabouts, Mr.. George w.
Stoner was astonished to receive a brief
note from his brother, stating that he
was rugged as ever" living at Santa
Rosa, CAL, and expected to visit the old
home in the course Of year or two.

Leibnitz,s Calculating Machine.
IRerlin Correspondence1


To the objects presented to the sight
seer in the Hanoverian capital most in
teresting addition has just been made, in
a calculating apparatus, invented by the
illustrious Leibnitz. 1t was, indeed, at
some remote period, the property of the
Royal Library of Hanover; but it had
been long lost, and no one knew what had
become Of it. There was evidence that it
had once been intrusted to certain
skilled mechanician in Gottingep to re-
pair, but it had not been looked up, and
was supposed to have met with some un-
worthy fate, as neglected things gener-
ally do. Hanover is, however, fortunate
in the possession of an ideal librarian,
Herr Counselor Bodemann. Not con-
tent with merely taking care of what is
given into his hands, he seeks diligently
for what has been lost. -.
A short time ago he hunted up some
valuable ancient Oriental manuscripts
from the rubbish beneath which they
were buried, and the present recovery
is entirely due to him. A patient search
was rewarded by the missing curiosity
being found in some obscure corner Of
the Gottingen Library, and after little
negotiation it's transfer to Its old homt
was accomplished. The instrument in
it's time excited the astonishment and ad
miration Of all Europe, the merit of thu
invention being formally recognized BY
the Academies Of Paris and London. i

one of the great authorities on such mat

Ladies' garments, we regret to see, are
being cut more and more in the mascu-
line style-a "stile" which, in connection
with feminine attire, We find it very diff
fcult to get over. If our fair friends
only knew how to study their best inter
ests, they would never ape the fashions
of the sterner sex. Male attire, or any
thing like male attire, can not exert o
"male"- "-fcent influence upon them.
Jeweled shoes are one of the latest
freaks of feminine extravaganza. Some
tiny feet are literally shod with precious
stones. We presume, though, that the
more valuable varieties are not 90 much
used for this purpose, the "toe-paz," fot
instance, being more suitable.
If, however, the fashion grows and
little "tootsums are really bedecked
with rubies and sapphires and diamonds
and other precious varieties we shall
find fortune hunters falling at heiresses'
feet In real sober earnest, and solemnly
asking the honor of this same foet in
marriage, instead Of the hand, ~ hereto
fore.
Young ladies, and old ones too, for
that matter, who venture out in lonely
thoroughfares without protection and in
jeweled boots will probably find they
have put their foot in it with ven
geance; for the foot" pad will have a
new and literal reason for exercising his
vocation.
We regret to see how ladies 60 on stick

kinds about their heads. But why draw
the line, as they do at present, at parrots,
kingfshers and the like? For Christmas,
for instance, they might have mounted a
young green goslin with appropriate
effect; whilst young rocks ducklings,
pigeons and paitridges might all be used
when in season.
In time, we daresay, the objection To
wear these birds without their feathers
will be overcome. and we shall have the
plucked and bare bodies adopted as q
kind of weird and barbaric hsad-dress OF
the faster kind of mediavally-inclined
beauties. ......
Then they may 90 little farther by
degrees, and at length try the effect of a
well-trimmed mutton-chop or veal cut
let, saucily fastened upon their hats.
For the matter of that we do not see
why the lady who now wears bloated
parakeet-say in her hat, should object
to hairpin on small shoulder of mutton
in similar place. In fact, the former is
sham, and the latter real; and that, in
these realistic days, should tell in favor
of the mutton. .t
Native oysters, by-the-by, talking Of
trimmings, would make very effective
one, and we can imagine head-dress Of
real carrots being made fascinatingly
charming for donkeys. In fact, there il
still large field for the exercise Of fem
inine fancy in this matter of peculiar

George Stephenson as Traveller.
&C. Life OF Sir Joshua Waimsley.]

The travellers way now lay across
France, and in this part Of their journey
occurred the two following incidents:
We crossed on foot, says Sir Joshua, "the
chain bridge suspended over the Dor
donne. Let US 60 over it again. said
Stephenson, when we had reached the
other side. Accordingly, over it again
we went, the old man walking very
slowly, with head bent down, as if he
were listening to and pondering over
every step he took. The bridge is un-
safe; it will give way at the first heavy
trial it meets with, he said, decisively, at
last. I'VE had better warn the authori-
ties; your name will carry weight
Ii replied. We went to the
Mayor, we we're politely received, and we
related the object of our visit. The
Mayor shrugged his shoulders with po-
lite increduiity; he assured us that the
engineer who had built the bridge was
an able man. Stevenson urged his warn
inc, supporting the interpreters words
with gestures and rough diagrams drawn
on the spot. Still the French official
shrugged his shoulders, looked incredu-
lous, and finally bowed us out. Only a
few months later Stephenson's warning
came true A regiment OF soldiers
crossed the bridge without breaking step,
the faulty structure gave way, and scores
of men in heavy marching order were
hurled down into the eddies Of the rapid
river below, where many were drowned
before means Of rescue could reach them.
Another day we passed by a French
line in process of construction; ). the nav
vies were digging and removing the soil
in wheelbarrows.' Stephenson remarked
that they were doing their work slowly
and untidily. Their posture is all wrong,
he cried; jumping out Of the carriage,
with the natural instinct that impelled
him to be always giving or receiving in.
