EXTRAORDINARY BLAST.-There are at present some very interesting ex- periments being carried out at Messrs. J. w. Pease & Co.'S limestone quar- ries, Weardale. The output at the present time is estimated at 200 tons per week. The ordinary system of hand drilling has been adopted from the commencement until very recent ly, when a number of deep holes have been drilled by machine power. One of the holes, described and known by the quarrymen as the Jumbo hole, has been drilled to a depth of IS ft. 7, by 2 in. diameter. The hole was drilled and completed in about four hours, and by an excellent system in charging the hole, was blasted, using 450 lbs. of powder, whereby 1t is esti mated that over 3,000tons ofrock has been removed, and is acknowledged to be one of the largest and most effective blasts ever known in the district, and at the same time the output can be very considerably in creased. The machine employed at these extensive quarries is the we'll known Cranston patent rock drill, of Newcastle Tyne. London Min ing Journal.

ELEPHANTS AT SEA.

The voyage of the elephants pre-
 sented by the King of the Belgians
 from India to Africa, was an eventfu
 one. The task of singing the bulk!
 pachyderms off the wharf into tn,
 ship was simply enormous. A gear
 adapted to weight of twenty ton.
 was rigged, and the mammoths beine
 got into position were safely slung or
 board, and the steamer started. Out 'e5 '-5 -ssea sesaa+t6 lie great beasts would persist in standing up all day and night and the swaying of their huge bodies with the motion of the ship nearly dislocated even their columnar legs nearly fractured, also, the tinbers of the deck. But at last they were urged into kneeling down, while a judicious addition of props kept the deck in its place, and thus the elephants got safely across the seas to Zanzibar. Then came a dificulty-how were the creatures to be landed? The ship could not go nearer to the shore than two miles and there was neither raft, nor lighter, nor any other appliance for transporting them to land. Could they swim? No one knew.
 There was nothing for it but to try. So one of the monsters-its name was the Budding Lily, and it stood ten feet high-was gravely dropped overheard, with a man on its back. The elephant solemnly sank until the man was under water, and then as soIemnly re-appeared. One look round suficed to explain the position to the poor beast, which, hopeless of ever reaching the distant shore, turn ed around and made frantic efforts to get on board again. In vain the mahcut belabored it. The elephant kept its head against the ships side. In vain they tried to tow it behind a boat, for though, when exhausted with struggling, the huge bulk was dragged a short distance, returning strength soon enabled it to drag the boat back to the ship.
 And so for an hour, rain pelting hard all the time, the wretched mons ter foundered about in the sea, and scrambled against the ships timbers, now floating alongside without any sign of life, now plunging madly arou nd with the ridiculous boat in tow. That it would have drowned ultimately seemed beyond donbt, but on sudden the great things intelli gence supplemented that of the hu man beings who were with it, and making up its mind that life was worth another effort, and that the ship was unscalable, the elephant began to swim. Again and again, before 1t reached the first sand bank, it's strength or pluck failed; but the boat was always at hand to encourage or irritate 1t to renewed exertions, and so at last, after nearly four hours immersion. the first behemoth got on shore. Away in the distance those watching from the ship could make out the great black bulk creeping up the sWard. Under tree close by stood its attendant, and in the enjoy ment of the monstrous cakes of sugar, rum, flour, and spices which had been prepared for it, and the luxury of a careful rubbing down with warm blankets, the Captain Webb of the elephant world recovered it's equani- mity and spirits
 Her companions, the Flower Gar land, Beauty, and the Wonder Inspi- Ter, emboldened by Budding Lily's performance, soon joined her on Afr can soil.

PATRIOTISM NOT TO BE BROUGHT INTO DIsREPUTE.-A Memphis magistrate had before him recently young man who at a amasked ball the night before had figured as George Washington, to whom however, his resemblance was so entirely superficial that he became drunk and abusive before the night was over. The magistrate pronounced sentence in the following homely but emphatic language:" Now if you had got drunk as private citizen, and had cussed and ripped around as such, l should have fined you $5; but inasmuch as you appear ed at the masked ball and committed the ofense while personating the character of George Washington, the revered father of his country, l will have to gently stick you for SEQ. l won't have this patriotism business brought into disrepute."

Startling rumors of a threatened outbreak at San Carlos are rife. It is said that great dissatisfaction is felt by the Indians at the course pursued by Crook in forcing them up to count every morning, and that an outbreak may be expected at any time if the course is persisted in. One report even goes so far as to state that Crook has been warned off the reserve, and that the chiefs have told him that if he does not leave the reservation he will be killed. The latest news received somewhat confirms the report. Crook has dis continued counting, giving as a reason that he has got all on the res ervation that are possible, and that he now knows Se e1act number and who they are Maxey Times.

Telluride Ores OfBOuIder County.
 Colorado.

Telluride ores are so rare, that a brief account of their occurrence in Boulder county may not be uninter- esting. Only twice before in the his tory of mining had they been en- countered in any quantity-in the mountains of Pennsylvania and in Calaveras county, California-but in neither instance in s1ch novelty and abundance as they exist in Boulder county. The Telluride belt, as at present known, is about thirteen miles long by three miles in width, extending in a northerly direction through Gold Hill, which is i've miles from its southerly extl entity. The country rock, which is at the northern part of the belt, is a mica ceous or gneissic schist, is in the re maining portion principally gneissic granite, All the lodes carry mineral of simil ar character, but they may be divided into three classes, each distinguished by the kind of rock en closing 1t, First, lodes in gneissic eas Pracing the richest and

mostly of minor crimes there being

Among the serious cases, may be
mentioned that of Wait, who was
accused of burglary armed with a

tried on last Thursday and the pris
Ouer Was acquitted.
In nearly all the cases of minor
offences before the Court, there
Was a remarkable agreement be

Evidently, they imagined that the
Judge would assign them counsel,

to pay for such services. Mr.. Z. l..

It would be interesting to know what
sort of mind Mr.. NJ. j. Billings has. He
has made list OF all the crimes charged
against the preachers of the United States
and Canada for the last eight years, in q
thick pamphlet, and has taken the trouble
to arrange them in analytic tables, as if it
were matter of great Importance, and as
though he took special delight in the work,
rolling each case of pastoral wickedness
as sweet 1norsel under his tongue. Such
a list proves nothing not already known
and admitted of all men. No one claims
that preachers are free from human i'm
perfections and above the reach of temp
tation. Considering the number of min
listers and their great opportunities for 60
Ing astray, the wonder is that SO few have
fallen from grace. AS a whole, the char
acter of the American clergy of all denom-
inations is creditably high.
