SaIting a Claim.
How and Why the Process is Worked in
 the West.
From the Detroit Free Press.I

From the Detroit Free Press
 "I wish you would explain to me all about this salting of claims that I hear so much about said a neek-eyed tenderfoot to grizzly old miner who was banning about six ounces of pulverized quartz. 'I don't see what they want to salt claim for, and don't understand how they do it."
 ssWell, you see, hot season like this they have to salt claim lots of times to keep it. A fresh claim is good enough for fresh ten derfoot, but old timers won't look at anything but pickled claim. You know what quartz is, probably ?"
 ftNon
 s'Well, every claim has quartz Some more and some less. You find out how many quartz there are, and then put in so many bounds of salt to the quart. Wild cat claims require more salt, because the wild cat spells quicker than anything else.
 ssSometimes you catch 8 sucker, too, and you have to put him in brine pretty plenty or you will lose him. That's one reason why they salt a claim.
 sSThen, again, you often grub stake man."
 But what is grub stake ?''
 s'Weu, grub stake is a stake that the boys hang their grub on so they can carry it. Lots of mining men have been knocked cold by blow from grub stake.
 "What wanted to say, though, was this:- You will probably at first strike free milling poverty, with indications of something else. Then you will do doubt sink till you strike bed rock, or true Assure gopher hole, with traces of disappointment.
 ssThat's the time to put in your salt. You can shoot it into the shaft with a double bar relied shotgun or wet it and apply it with a whitewash brush If people turn up their noses at your claim then, and say it is snide. and that they think there is some thing rotten in Denmark, you can tell them that they are clear of, and that you have salted your claim and know it is all right
 The last seen of tenderfoot he was buying double -barrelled shotgun and ten pounds of rock salt
 There's no doubt but a mining camp is the place to send young man who wants to ac- ouire knowledge and fill his system full of in- formation that will be useful to him as long as he lives.

land $7,000, ,0O0 in gold which had been
 placed there by the Confederate authorities
 to purchase supplies, and that as the money
 had not been used it was applicable to these
 bonds. The lawyer has been interviewed,
 and he said that he did not know who want
 ed the bonds or wherein their value consisted,
 Having lived in the Suoth, and having con
 nections abroad, he had been requested by
 certain London stock brokers to buy for
 their principals large amount of Confede-
 rate bonds. He had attempted to execute
 the commission by sending the dispatches
 mentioned, and had received in reply large
 number of the bonds. He received Thurs
 day bonds of the par value of about half
 million of dollars. It would be interesting toiknow why these bonds are now in demand. A reporter of the New York Eceptng Post asked James N. Sanpson, the veteran detsc- tive employed at the sub-treasury in New
 York city, to what the government detectives attributed the increase in the number Of clipped and punched coins which has attract
 cd so much attention of late Mir. Sampson said that 1t was perfectly well known that nine-tenths of the punching was done in New York city by Cubans. A number of silver coins were clamped together in roll, and in less time than it takes to write an account of it hole is drilled through the whole lot. The value of the silver obtained by punching hole of usual size in a coin amounts to about the twenty-fifth of the value of the coin, so that for every roll of twenty-five quarter dollars the value of one quarter dol lar is obtained in moment by running a drill through the roll Mir. Sampson said al so that many of the punched coins come from Mexico and South America, where our silver coins circulate freely, and rarely escape mutilation. Several at- tempts have been made of late years to break up the systematic punching of coins, but with little success. Only two convictions for the offense have been made in ten years. Mir. Sampson remarked that while the busi- ness of punching and filling coins was al most wholly in the hands of the Cubans, the business of sweating gold coins by shaking them up in buckskin bag is attributed by the detectives to the denizens of Chatham street, New York. By shaking bag con- taining one hundred eagles for three hours the result in gold dust will be about twenty dollars, -

Accidents have been numerous on the Lyons and Mediterranean railroad, running out of Paris, and the wits of the press are directing their shafts at the route FsWe are assured" Says one writer, ''that the drivers of carriages continue to conduct travellers who wish to leave by the Lyons and MedIt- srranean line, but it appears that 8 great number of the drivers have quite given up going to the station of arrival.'' Another tells of husband who detected his. wife in a filtration. You will not shoot me ?" screamed the guilty woman. ''No.'' answers the husband, ''my vengeance will be still more terrible ,'' and, calling carriage, he puts the lady and the lover inside and bids the coachman drive to the station of the Lyons and Mediterranean. Another makes 8 man call carriage and say to the driver, "Go to the Lyons stationl' The driver re- gards him with emotion, then, arriving at the fatal spot, he shakes his hand and says to him in broken tones, Farewell"

The Philadelphia No7th American discuss es the question of complex primary system in the public schools and protests against such system earnestly and sensibly. Of what children should be taught 1t says: ''The age and the state of preparation Of the chil- dren who enter the primary schools do not warrant the introduction of any but the sim plest subjects to their notice. Children should first learn to read and spell correctly While they are doing this they should not be required to study in books, either geography or arithmetic. They should first be made to comprehend the powers and functions of language as they hear it spoken and find it in simple lesson books. In connection with this they should be taught grammar, not by books, but suggestively by the teacher. This is beginning at the beginning, which is the place at which to begin. There need be no haste in the matter. There is time enough to educate every child susceptible of educa- ton in the natural course. Life is too short to thoroughly educate the mass of pupils in the artificial way" Arithmetic, too, it thinks, except in the simple form of tables, can well be left for later years, while as re- gards geography it denies that there is any such thing as primary geography" It says "Geography, except as it relates to the natu- ral divisions of the earth, is an advanced study" These last it thinks can best be taught on the blackboard by any teacher who does not "need himself to be taught.'

Fast Walking Horses.

A writer in the Vermont Phenir recurs
to the inlpo' tance, practical and ethical, of
encouraging the fast walk in horses by Of
fer at agricultural fairs of premiums even
half SO large as usually 20 to the demoral-
izing trot: Ifas much attention was given
to increasing the speed of the walking gait
as has been devoted to breeding and train.
Ing fast trotters, we should have race of
horses improved in a direction to be of
more real service on the farm or for ordin-
ary driving on the road. With rough
roads or hills. it is of necessary to walk the
the best of hor- es for con siderable part of
a journey. A horse that c walk four OF
five miles an hour will travel forty or 6fty
miles in day without going faster than a
walk. nearly as fast as an average horse will
trot in day without fatigne.

The Largest Steamer Ever Built.

The "Great Eastern" the famous NAM
moth iron steamship, was sold at London,
on Tuesday, for $3.50, 900. She was three
years building, and three years repairing
before she crossed the ocean, arriving at
New York in June 1860. The total cost of
the steamer, including repairs, has been
about twenty five millions of dollars. The
Great Eastern was the largest vessel ever
launched at the time she was built, and
that proud distinction she still maintains.
