SOME FACTS ABOUT ouloKsILyER.


In an elaborate report on the quicksilver
trade of the world, Consul General vogeler,
of Frankfort -on-the-M Main, says that of late
years California has supplied more thar
half of the quicksilver consumed in the
world Only two countries of Europe pro-
duce quicksilver in sufficient quantities to
deserve mention in commercial report
Spain and Austria.
The Spanish mines are located near the
town of Almaden, province of Maneha, and
were formerly owned and operated by the
Spanish Government They are now, how
ever, held and operated by the great firm ct
Rothschild Brothers, of London, England, as
security for loan made by them to the
Spanish Government; indeed, they seem to
be, to all intents and purposes, the property
Of that firm. These mines yield about four
tifths of the entire production of Europe,
while the Austrian mines, located near
ldria, and the minor mines mentioned, pro-
luce the other one-ffth. As consequence
London, to which place almost the entire
product of the Amaden mines is shipped,
is the controlling market of Europe, and
Rothschild fixes the price of the metal, ex-
cept in SO far as California, which produces
more quicksilver than Spain and Austria
combined, may undertake to become dis
turbing element in that direction.
Quicksilver is carried and shipped in
wrought iron TASKS of 25 pounds, contain
ing rs pounds of metal. Prices throughout
Europe are always given in English money,
md the quotations invariably refer to the
tasks described
The consumption of quicksilver in the
world was estimated in the year 1876 to
amount to about so, 600 TASKS per year in
1877 it reached 100, 900 TASKS and since
then it has averaged 1873, 900 TASKS year
The principal uses to which quicksilver Is
applied are Meteorological and other
scientific instruments, chemical prepare
tons, looking glasses and mirrors.

Remedy for sunstroke.

The following is the Fountain cure for
sunstroke, as published in the Picayune
last summer:
So soon as you reach your patient take
hold Of him, or her, and carry or drag him,
or her, into the shade. Place the body in q
sitting posture, the back against wall with
the feet and legs resting upon the sidewalk
and extended in front Of the body. Get ice
water and bottle Of some strong essence
of ginger. Pour the ice water over the
head, copiously; never mind the clothes
Then pour two or three tablespoonfuls Of
ginger in about half tumbler OF water,
and make the patient swallow it quickly.
Keep the head cool by using little of the
ice water, and in case there is not much of
u glow upon the body give more ginger. II
this recipe i. promptly used and fully car
ried out in every case OF sunstroke, the
board of health will never have death to
report from this cause. IL is no experiment
or quack remedy. 1t costs but few cents
and a half hour or an hours time. Ginger
is by far the best to use, but whore II can
not be had quickly, two or three goo d
drinks Of brandy will answer.

Wade Hampton to Retire from Politics

COLUMBIA, S. c., June 20.-In consequence
Of the dissensons in the Democratic party
in this state private and public calls have
been made upon Senator Wade Hampton
to consent to be a candidate for governor
before the approaching convention, but he
has positively declined in letter published
to-day. He expresses desire TO retire from
public life. He advises the correction Of
bad legislation within the party, and re-
grets to see dissatisfaction in any quarter,
because of opposition to some OF the meas
ures adopted by the last legislature. He
considers the legislation in regard to the
registration law and the general stock law
as unfortunate, but the grievances should
be redressed within the Democratic organs
cation. II is now settled fact that Hamp-
ton will not be a candidate, and this gives,
relief to many aspirants in the sta,e.-fChi.
