Bruckner cylinder. For good sulphurets,
or very base silver ores, it is regarded
by many as the most simple furnace in
use. The ore is at all times under per-
feet control, and the charges can be run
any length of time until in proper condi-
ton to be drawn, thus making it peculiar
ly adopted to all classes and conditions Of
base ores. The hoppers hold full
charge, and only five minutes are re-
quired for charging the cylinder. To
discharge it the cylinder is run about
thirty minutes with the door open. The
amount of ore they will handle per
day of course depends upon the length of
time required for each charge, which
averages from five to fifteen hours.

his retirement he was in front of Currie's
auction store, hitched to an express wagon

Jefferson Davis saws: "Wnr was no!

Jefferson Davis says: "War was not
necessary to the abolition Of slavery.
Years before the agitation began in the
North and the menacing acts to the in
stitution there was growing feeling all
all over The South for its abolition, but
tho Abolitionists of the North, both by
publication and speech, comcnted the
South and crushed the feeling in favor of
emancipation. Slavery could have been
blotted out without the sacrifice Of brave
men and without the strain which revo-
lutions always make upon established
forms Of Government I see it stated
that uttered the sentiment or endorsed
it that slavery is the cornerstone Of the
Confederacy.' That is not my utter
ancc."

five-year old child of Mount Blanchard,
Montana. The little girl was playing out
in the door-yard among bevy of snow
birds, and when she spoke to them they
would come and light upon her, twitter-
ing with the utmost glee. On taking
them in her hands and stroking them,
the birds instead of trying to get away
from their fair captor seemed to be highly
pleased and when let loose would fly
away short distance and Immediately
return to the child again. She then took
several Of them into the house to show
her mother, who, thinking she might
hurt them, took the birds and put them
out doors; no sooner was the door opened
than the birds flew into the room and lit
upon the girls head and began to chirp.

Experiment has proved that manganese
bronze is ninety-six per cent. stronger
than gun metal in tenacity and more than
cent. per cent. in resisting bending
strain. Consequently, the British Adj
mirality have ordered that it be used in
the construction OF propellers for large
and twin-screw vessels. Considerable
weight Of machinery will be saved and
thinner blades, offering less resistance to
water, can be made.
