Mining in Ancient Times,

The methods in vogue among the an
clients for the development of mines were
in many respects far different from those
in use at the present time. In the
country to the south of us the descent
and ascent of shafts were made by
means of notched logs. These were
from twenty to thirty feet long, extend
ing from level to level. The logs or lad
ders were climbed by the sure-footed
miners, the Aztecs, and more recently
by the Indians, who were engaged in the
dislodgment of the precious mineral.
The ore was placed in rawhide bags con-
tanning about half bushel, this same
being rested upon the back while it was
held in position by straps extending
across the shoulders, united in front and
fastened throughits own weight upon the
forehead. ''If mine were overlooking
with water the troublesome fluid was re-
moved in these bags in the same manner
as the ore by the miners, who tediously'
climbed the notched poles, and whose
notches answered the place of wider.
steps. The ore was removed in man.
ner almost as tedious. Fires were built
against the walls of the mine, and as
their surface became calcined the incin-
Grated portions were dislodged by
stone hammers. The melting was
equally as cumbersome, being effected
with charcoal and bellows. Yet mining
was profitable under these crude meth
DDS. 1t is not surprising, therefore, that
wonderful reports continue to reach us
of the richness of the abandoned old
mines of Sonora, which, with the intro
duction of modern machinery, worked
by energetic and experienced Americans,
will soon astonish the world with their
rich production" In the early days of
the Comstock we have seen these
notched poles in use in the Mexican mine
in this city; also the rawhide sacks.
However, they used picks and shovels,
and blasted out the ore instead of burn
ing it out. The ore was worked in aras-
tras, and by the patio process indeed
the patio process was in use here for
some years, and not alone by Mexicans
Horses were used for treading these
oatios to stir up the pulp, and in a short
time the poor beasts presented pitiable
appearance. The bluestone in the pulp
took all the hair off their legs and COW
cred them with sores, while the quick
silver salivated and poisoned them. 1t
was said that the horses became so
charged with mercury that it oozed from

Profits on Butterine.

Some idea of the profits which the
manufacturers of butterine derive from
their unholy trade can be seen from a
simple calculation. A few days ago
gentleman purchased from a grocer six
pounds of what purported to be fresh
dairy butter, which he said he got from
an alleged Michigan farmer" who was
perambulating the streets with a full
stock ''fresh from his own farm Six
pounds of the butter was made up of
four pounds of lard, which costs forty
eight cents, one pound of cheap butter
(bought in large lots), worth twenty-four
cents, and one cents worth of salt and
coloring matter, making the total cost of
the six pounds seventy three cents, or
twelve and one-sixth cents per pound for
butterine, which sells from twenty-eight
to thirty cents per pound. This would
give profit on the six pounds of from
ninety-five cents to $1.13. At this rate
the Michigan farmer will soon become
the possessor of all Che available grazing
lands in Michigan, and secure monop,
oily Of the dairy interests in the West.
Good butter cannot be bought much I'M
der the ruling market rates, and pur-
chasers should look with the grayest
suspicious on all dealers who offer any
great reductions. Although dear butter
may not be good, cheap butter is pretty
certain to be bad butter. - Chicago Trs6.

Novel Treatment Of Drunkards.

DR.. Jurie, a prominent physician of
Vienna, tells of two complete cures of
dipsomania effected by him in an extra
ordinary manner. One of the cases was
that of an habitual drunkard, who was
picked up out of the gutter by the police
and was handed over to the Doctors
treatment in the Correction Hospital for
a period of fourteen days. The Doctor
at once ordered that every article of food
or drink given him should receive a lib
eral addition of whisky of not over-re-
fined quality. Water, milk, soup, meat
and vegetables were all treated in this
way, and whisky was even infused into
the air that he breathed, through satura-
ton of the walls, floors and bedding. At
first the man proclaimed himself highly
satisfied with his treatment, and said he
would always like to have such a sensi-
BILE physician. The second day, how
ever, he began to feel nausea, the third
day he yomited Immediately after eating,
and thereafter not meal was taken that
was not followed by vomiting. From
day to day he experienced increasing
torment, and finally begged piteously for
relief. The result was that at the end of
two weeks, though much reduced in
flesh, he was filled with such repugnance
for strong drink that he was never after
ward able to indulge in it again. The
other case mentioned by DIR. Jurie was
of similar character, and was treated
by him in the same way and with equal
success. y ien,aa Letter.

And so went together to call
On peacock one day,

Of what I've no leisure to tell,
But a part of their talk

was made, and the cent of 1851 is worth

PRISONERS TO BE PENsIONED.

Mr.. DeMott introduced into the
house on Monday bill for the relief
of soldiers of the war of the rebellion
who were confined in rebel prisons.
Such soldiers shall be pensioned at the
rate of eight dollars per month, in
cases where the term Of imprisonment
shall have been ninety days and less
than one year, ore dollar per month
additional for each full month of such
imprisonment in excess of one year,
and two dollars per day for each and
every days confinement in said con-
federate military prisons, and that
said pensions shall be payable in the
same manner as other pensions are
paid.
Should this bill become law, it
puts these prisoners, who much rather
chose Imprisonment to facing the
cannons mouth, on an equality with
those who faced danger, and either
lost their lives or still carry with them
the marks of the hard fought battles.
There were many who much preferred
being captured and took their chance
of either escaping from the prison or
being exchanged for other prisoners,
than to pass through the heat of the
battle and risk their lives; and now
these same ones who in time of great
est need would shirk duty, are to be
placed on the list of pensioners. Next
in order will come those who remained
at home and proclaimed their loyalty
by encouraging others to 60 to battle.

arch A large box, or cage, was built
upon the main deck just large enough
to cover him, measuring thirteen feet
in length, twelve feet in height, and
six feet eight inches in width. 1t was
made of three inch yellow pine planks,
fastened together by seven-inch beams,
and straps of heavy iron. The entire
box weighed about six tons, or one,
half ton less than the weight of the
elephant. lie measures eleven feet
six inches in height, the extreme
spread of his ears is fifteen feet, aud
he can reach up twenty-six feet with his
trunk. His daily diet on his journey con
sisted of ten or fifteen loaves of bread,
two bushels of oats, three quarts of
onions, a bushel of biscuit, two hun
dred pounds of hay aud as much fruit,
candies, &c as the passengers would give
him. He cost his present owners until
he arrived in New York about $50, 900,
although $4,000 was the price paid
for him. They were obliged to pay
the fare of POO steerage passengers,
because of the London Board of trade |
who forbade the vessel taking steerage
along with the elephant.

governor is a member of the commits

was through his efforts that the plan
was changed from middle peDiten-

found that the architect who drew the
plans for the buildings has based them
on the three story system, something to
which the commission is unanimously
opposed-the one story plan OF the
eastern penitentiary being their first
choice. As there are twenty acres 10

plenty of room for the enlarged area
demanded in spreading out the build
ing on the one story plan.

Mitchell VS.. Cameron,

Aud now there is more trouble in
the stalwart camp. Don Cameron has
influenced Arthur to remove Sullivan,
collector of the twenty third internal
revenue district of this state, and ap-
pointed in his place Colonel Jackson.
This was done in opposition to the
expressed wishes of Senator Mitchell,
and representatives Miller, Bayne and
Shallenberger. Senator Mitchell has
notified Cameron that he will oppose
the confirmation, and says that the
motive of Cameron in this removal
was his hostility to Bayne, and that
Jackson is to be used, with the pat
ronage of his office, to defeat Baym's
re election, simply because the latter
will not bow down and worship before
Cameron's shrine. Miller does not
propose that the patronage Of the ad-
ministration shall be used in any such
way, aud he intends to expose the
Camerons and their henchmen in this
nefarious business. Let the kettle
boil With the breach that is growing
wider between Don Cameron of the
one part, and Governor Hoyt, Attor-
ney General Palmer, Senator Mitchell
and Charles s. Wolfe of the other,
the days of Republican misrule in
