Cornwall Mines.

Ever since the adventurous Pheni-
clans came to its shores, concealing
their destination from their neighbors
in order to keep the business to them
selves, the chief resource Of Cornwall
has been its minerals. What Diodorus
Siculus said on the subject is matter
of school history, to which we need
scarcely refer The Ph1nicianS found
the traffic profitable. and spoke well of
the people who maintained them in it,
After their day the tin was transported
to Gaul, and thence on pack horses to
the mouth of the Rhone. The demand
for the metal was increased in the sixth
and seventh centuries by the fashion OF
putting bells in the cathedrals and
churches of Western Europe, and the
introduction of cannon added to it. II
was found in the several large surfaces
of granite which protrude through clay
slate in Cornwall, and it was also pro-
cured in small grains and noduies de-
posted in alluvial sands and gravels.

that Melted thirty thousand pounds in
thirty-four years demands note of ex-
clamatiOn at the end of the announce
ment. But as the miners of the Com
stock Lode sought for gold. and, in
their ignorance. for some years over
looked the greater advantage of mining
the superintendent silver. so the miners
of Cornwall for centuries ignored the
deposits Of copper in the eagerness to
find tin. The copper did not exist in
large Quantities. but the deposits were
worth mining, though their value was
not appreciated until late in tine eight
eenth century. In 1889 the production
of copper ore in Cornwall alone was
33, 2Sl tons. worth Elsa, sos; in 1860 it
had reached its maximum quantity,
$50. SS3 tons, and its maximum value,
fl.07l. .063-these figures including
both Devonshire and Cornwall-and
since then it has gradually declined.
All the mining interests of Cornwall are
decayed. About three-fOurths of the
mines are suspended or abandoned, and
those in operation employ small num-

Gardening In Japan.

With the Japanese, the love of
flowers amounts to passion. They
have distanced us in botany. Enthusiasts
in gardening would fain live to see the
day when every householder will have
his plot of garden and will know how
to cultivate it. The universal spread
of such knowledge seems to be almost
as hopeless as the possession of plots
for its exercise in our large towns.
But the Japanese are taught gardening
in their schools. and all have their lit
tie plots of ground. They are in
structed in practical horticulture and
in the artistic arrangements of bou-
quets, and all classes. from the palace
to the cottage. manifest a passionate
love for such hurnanizing and health
full occupations. Nowhere in Europe,
we are assured, are gardens so
numerous, or the love OF Horticulture
so extensively developed. One very
curious art they seem to have
brought to great perfection. Their gar
dens often being small, and their taste
leading them to take pride in the pos
session of trees of the bigger species,
they have gradually developed the art
of dwarfing them without in any way
sacrificing their general shape and pro-
portion. Among their family treasures
may frequently be found well-arranged
garden. established in some antique
specimen OF Japanese pottery in the
shape of capacious bowl. Within this
receptacle will be walks and trees and
tlOwer-beds, with great variety of
floral favoriteS, and dwaried to the
proper proportions. One further de-
velopment Of this odd manipulation of
natural objects is the pat ent training
of the mimimized trees and shrubs into
the forms of birds and beasts, or any OBJ.
iect that may strike the fancy.

English Captives In Central Asia.


Forty wears ago the heart Of England
was thrilled by the frequent narrative
of the butcbery of her sons by the des-
potic rulers or fanatic peoples of the
countries beyond the Indian frontier,
among whom our countrymen had gone
with far from untriendly intentions.
The fate of Colonel Stoddart and Cap
tain Connolly. whose sufferings in the
Black Well OF Bokhara surpass descrip-
tion. still excites a tremor of indigna-
ton whenever recalled, and the close of
their career affords a striking contrast
with the bright promise under which
their mission into Central Asia began.
Those officers were deputed to the
Courts of Khiya. Khokand and Boktara
for the puruose of STRENGTHENING the
ties of friendship with those States, and
CAPTAIN Connolly met with considera-
BILE success in the case of the two first
mentioned. But his satisfactory prog
ress At Khiya and Khokand only made
the task before Co,onel Stoddart at
Rokbara more difficult- and the person-
al animosity of its Ameer soon showed
that II was nracticaIlv a homeless one.

extensive silver fields near Fort Sill,

that Illegal attempts are being made by

referred to the secretary of the interior,
ty the commissioner of Indian affairs,
with a request that troops be furnished to
protect the Indian interest in the newly
discovered fields from interference.
a delegation of Indian chiefs from the
Sioux, Ponce and Winnebago tribes
called to Washington by the secretary Of
the interior, held q conference with the
secretary and commissioner of 1n6isn

the disputed questions of the boundary

them.
This afternoon the agreement of the
Sioux to give the Poncas land, was ex-
planned to the Poncas and they expressed
themselves as entirely satisfied with the
arrangement
