The Ruby Killers enjoyed the Fourth of
July at home. They had lots of fun and
a splendid celebration. The procession
started from Miners Union Hall at 10
o'clock A. NJ. with the Union Guard Band
and Company in the lead, followed by
citizens and Indians, and marched to New
Town, where the Guards went through
the military maneuvers in a very efficient
manner. After marching back to the
hall the procession broke up. After din
ner over 200 people repaired to the shoot
ing ground and enjoyed themselves to
their hearts content. The Guards built
a pavilion for the accommodation OF the
ladies and children and furnished FREQ an
abundant supply of refreshments Of every
kind. The children's foot racing caused
lots of amusement. The race between
Harry Ivey and Richard Sampson was
very interesting and considerable money
changed hands. Sampson won. John
Cardew and J. @. Harris ran a foot race
which caused. great merriment for the
crowd. Fat John was too much for
Slim jim and got away with the cake.
Dancing was kept up until l A. NJ,
when the crowd dispersed, voting the
Union Guard the boss entertainers, and
hoping they would soon give another
such party. The music furnished by the
Union Guard Band is too well known to
need comment.

The Red Snapper.

Probably the best fish added to the
list of those that are edible within the
past ten years is the red snapper. Ten
years ago this fish was almost unknown
here, though occasionally one was sent
to market as a curiosity, and attracted
attention because of its brilliant color. It
was formerly eaten to some extent by
the people of Cuba and the coast of the
Gulf of Mexico, but was never used as a
food in this latitude until about eight
years ago, and it is only within three or
four years that it has become such a
favorite with the general public, and
one of the most popular for table use.
In 1878 the first scientific description of
the fish was made by Professor G.
Brown Gould, of the United States Fish
Commission. The fish is hard and firm,
resembling closely the sheephead in
flavor, and its best qualities are develo-
ped by baking. 1t is caught both on
the east and west coasts of Florida, and
at different points in the Gulf of Mexi-
co. 1t is caught entirely by hand, with
drop-lines, and affords much sport to
the fisherman, as it is gamy, and when
caught will make a lively fight to es-
cape. These fish run together in large
schools, and average about twelve
pounds in weight. The largest one
ever exhibited IN New York weighed
thirty-two pounds. The red snapper
is not in market now, the season ex-
tending from the first of September to
the first of May. Every year the
quantity sold shows a steady increase.
The average price last season was tif-
teen cents o pound.

The West Indian Sugar Crop.

The Jamaica Sugar crop is reported
the largest that has been realized for
many years, over three thousands tons
having been sold in one parish of the
island for shipment to Canada. Despite
the long prevailing droughts, which
have been general in the West Indies,
and nearly two hundred fires in the cane
fields of Cuba, the crop of sugar produ-
ced this season in the latter island has
been finally fixed by careful complla-
ton at six hundred and one thousand
five hundred tons, being an excess of
twenty-three and three quarters per
cent over the last crop. This will be
welcome news to the world generally,
but, as our owu sugar belt lies under
climatic influences approximating those
which have for some months been so
favorable to West Indian cane fields.
Louisiana planters may take q special
interest in it. The cane plant during
the early stages of its growth requires
but little moisture, and in Barbados,
where sugar culture has been most care
fully studied by Governor Rawson, any
marked excess of rain during the first
six months of the year is injurious DO h
to. the crop which is being reaped and to
that which is to follow. The same is in
a measure true of the Louisiana cane
crop, which therefore, shows great fluc-
tuations in different years Gas in 1877
and 1878, when the yield of the two sea-
sons varied about seventy per cent?. 1t
is noticeable that the two largest Louisi-
ana crops-those of 1853 and 1861
were made in seasons which were ex-
traordinarily favorable to West Indian
sugar planters, though fine sugar sea-
son in the Antilles does not insure a
similar one in Louisiana. The yield of
the present crop on our Gulf coast will
of course depend largely on the weather
of the next three months, as it begins to
ripen. in August or September and is
usually not fit for the mill until Octo-
ber, and is sometimes reduced by severe
November frosts. But as yet nothing
calculated to mar the prospect of good
returns has been reported.

a New Light.

A few days ago the patent Office issued
papers to Mr.. William Calver of Wash
ngton, for discovery which, if it pos
sesses all the merits claimed for it, will
be hailed with gratitude by both busy
manufacturers and toiling housewives.
The invention is no less than the pro-
duction of intense heat by peculiar
arrangement of mirrors. Calver was
born in England, but came to this coun-
try when very young. For number of
years he resided in New York. He has
been citizen of of the district for up
ward of ten years. and has during that
time been absent much in Arizona, look
ing after his mining property. He has
been looking for long time for some
method of working mines and reducing
the ore by more cheap process than
that in vogue. By a happy chance,
equally as singular as that which befell
Newton, he stumbled on his discovery.
The whole invention simply consists
of an arrangement whereby the rays of
the sun are reflected from any number
of mirrors upon q commen focus. Hap
pening to direct the light from two ordi-
nary locking glasses upon the same sur
face he noticed that the resultant heat
was about doubled. He proceeded with
his experiments, and succeeded in re-
ducing wood to ashes and metal to a
liquid state by simply concentrating
upon them the reflected light of the sun
from 20 small mirrors with flat surfaces.
The principle is an unexplained one. II
has never hitherto been suspected that
tapping one ray of sunlightupon another
increased the heat. The model patented
by Mr.. Calver consists of number OF
small looking glasses, arranged in rows
upon a frame so fixed that they can be
converged upon any one point. A work
ing model, of which he has a number,
was exhibited to reporter in the yard
in the rear of his residence. Forty in
nocent, guileless looking Is cent framed
mirrors, each 81 inches. were arranged
upon frame propped up like an artists
easel, and bearing a striking resembl-
ance thereto.
Facing the easel was the fragment of
what was once barn door, also propp-
ed up and partly covered with worn
and faded sheet of zinc that bore unmis-
taxable evidences of having been burned
through in several places. 1t was but
the work of minute to converge the DC
mirrors upon space 81 inches by 81
inches upon the barn door, and then the
revelations began. AS each mirror cast
its quota of sunlight upon the common
store, the parallelogram of light grew
winter and more dazzling, until at last
it looked like patch of electric light
But little patience was required to await
results. In less than 80 seconds thin
curling puff of smoke gave evidence o.
the progress of the experiment. In q
minute the board was bursting out II
flames. The focus was then shifted

An Inferior Horse.

The writer met the jockey Rutherford
while dining at the Winter Palace in
st. Petersburg a short time after that
huge sporting wrangle, and, in the
course of a conversation on turf matters.
the astute prodder of horse flesh said,
with childlike and ingenious smile:
"Would you like TO know the dead
inside facts as to how that race was won?'
"Why, you rode the best horse,
didn't you ?" we asked.
''Not bit of it," replied the Jockey,
with grin. 1.-THE fact was that Ruther.
ford was only abort the fourth choice,
and was not rated Mt more than eighth
or ninth in the pools. True Blue, Katy
Pease and Thad Stevens all had the call
over Ruthy. But it happened that my
horse was 'bolter, and to steady him
and prevent his flying the track l put
blinders and goggles on him. You
noticed them, SUPPOSED"
"There were two horses rigged that
way" we replied.
Exactly; Stevens was nervous
critter also, and as soon as his trainer
saw how the goggles steadied my horse
he put'em on Thad too. The day
before the race big idea occurred to
me. got a couple of pairs of magni-
flying lenses and quietly put'em in place
of the plain glasses in the goggles of
both horses. Catch on to the idea?"
"Well, partly"
The only difference was that in
Stevens brides fastened the glasses
with the bulge inside, so as to make
them diminishing glasses, don't you
see?"
"Like looking through the wrong end
of an opera glass, eh?"
Exactly. The result was that, while
Rutherford was encouraged all the way
by the course seeming only couple of
hundred yards long, the quarter flags
appeared ten miles apart to Stevens.
You see, a horse can be discouraged
just as we'll as a man.
"Great scheme, that"
"Well, 1 should smile. Ruthy
thought he was in for little quarter
race, and it kept up his heart, so that
when he had nearly done the last mile
and swung into the homestretch, and l
called ON him to let out his last link, he
thought the Judges stand was right
under his nose, so he came home like an
express train on a down grade; but
Stevens. who thought he had about fif-
teen miles further TO go, went all to
pieces, as you remember, and almost lay
down on the track, he was SO mentally
cavel in, as it were"

Wooden Mill Machinery Wears Out.

Much new woole1 machinery is re-
quired each year to replenish that which
has actually been worn out. Excellent
authorities establish the average life Of
the entire mechanical equipment of a
woolen mill being twenty years, and as
there are about 5000 sets of machinery
in use in the United States at the pres
ent time, it follows that an average of
450 sets become worn out and has to be
replaced each year. Four hundred and
fifty sets of machinery means 1900 to
800 cards, about as many self-operat-
ing spinning mules, 10000 to Is, 900
looms, and other machinery in proper
ton. A 200 spindle mule costs $3.50,
and one with 800 spindles costs 5000.
To replace the mules alone, Therefore,
which are annually worn out in the
United States necessitates a disburse-
ment of over ST., 100000 per annum
among the machinery manufactures, and
to replace the cards and looms required
for the same purpose costs a much
larger sum.

He spoiled the Box Trick.

There are several ledgerdemain per-
formers at the various auction shops.
The Magic Box trick is favorite meth
cd of entertaining customers and col
lecting crowd. A few nights since the
auctioneer announced with q worthy
flourish of his jaw that he would render
the great trick. He got out number
of boxes, filed them with handkerchiefs,
and hats and case knives, and allowed the
audience to lock them up. Then tax
ing an empty box he handed it to tall
man, evidently from southern mining
camp, and told him to hold it high over
his head.
"Now, gentlemen, I will cause q
transformation to take place which de-
monstrates that the hand is quicker
than the eye. will cause the contents
of the locked box to appear in the box
now held in the air, and to do it before
your eyes,"
Just as the crowd began to edge up
close to detect the nodus operandi Of
the performer, q small boy at the end of
the counter called out in squeaky voice
"You forgot the socIxsr' Immediately
the performer hauled down some socks
and began to retail them TO the crowd
at three for two bits, after which he
pulled some undershirts from the shelves
and offered them at bedrock figures,
while the knowing ones laughed at the
poor dHpe, who held the box in the air
for about fifteen minutes. Presently
the nature of the hoax dawned upon
him. and hurting the box at the head of
the auctioneer, he left the place amid
howl from the crowd. ellis trick is to
see who is the d-dest fool in the
crowd" said the auctioneer, and the
merriment was unbounded.
Last evening the hand-me-down per-
former attempted to repeat the trick. but
with less happy results. After the pre-
liminary oratory he handed the box to
green looking man pear him. AS he
leaned over the meteorological person
grabbed him by the collar and yanked
him clean over the counter. Getting him
over on the floor he steered him all over
the place, and played with his head,
using it to beat the floor with as if he
supposed it was o drum-stick "How
do you like the box trick?" he shouted
as he stood him on his head for the fifth
time. The crowd howled with glee, for
in the person of the animated old man
thay recognized the party who had been
fooled few nights before. After pitch
ing his prey in behind some old shirt
boxes he strolled out remarking:
when anybody wants assistance in
box trick, send for Jim Slack, Pueblo,
I'm boxer, myself"
