GEORGIA MINEs.-We were shown
some large specimens of ore on last
Wednesday, that would assay not less
than $500 per ton, and the probabih-
ties are that it would yield twice that
amount. We were informed by the
holders, that the vein (from which il
came) is four feet wide and that every

ionega, on the Chestatee river, and is
only one of the many, which lie paral-

their castings Of soft slate, form a lead

t all the quartz of this belt was

ONE of the most beautiful valleys in

is, can anything be raised there? The

At the head of the valley there are
two beautiful lakes, one twelve miles

Both abound in the famous red fish,

The valley is sixty miles long and
from one to five miles wide. John
Wood, of Warrnns, who came through
there short time ago, tells us that
rye grass grows finely all over
the valley-attaiping height of five
feet and over. He says wheat and
barley are successfully grown on Saln-

Long valley, and he thinks that, this
valley will prove to be the finest grain

Mr.. Curtiss has fruit farm in

Last year he gathered off this farm
1000 quarts of strawberries, gooseber-

bushels of tomatoes. His sales of fruit
during the fruiting season often ran as
high as $500 per day. But why say
more ? This one little farm yields Mi.
Curtiss from $4,000 to $1,000 per an
mum, and he could sell ten times as much
fruit as he does if he could raiee it.
Strawberries bring 40 cents to 81 per
quart. Raspberries so cents, currants
40 to 60 cents per gallon, tomatoes 10 to
Is cents per pound, and all other small
fruits Is cents to 40 cents per quart and

A Curious Easter Service.

Under the title "Brother Stolz's
Beat" the February Midwinter Century
contains an interesting paper by II. H.,
on the old Moravian settlement at Beth
lehem, Penn, where the graveyard is
the public park, and the scene of curious
Easter services:
This graveyard is the pleasantest spot
in all Bethlehem. It lies in the very
heart of the town, shaded by great trees,
and looking toward the sunset as grave
yard should. 1t is simply q field of
solid green turf, with wide, well-kept
walks, and rows OF green mounds, close
together. and all of about the same size.
Here, without distinction or separation,
except of sex, the dead Moravians lie, in
the order of their dying. A man might
happen, thus, to lie at last by the side of
his worst enemy-if such thing could
be as enmity under the banner of the
Unitas Fratrum," and, doubtless, they
did have their quarrels and dislikes, like
the rest of US. One would think, how
ever, that the everyday seeing of this
common and undivided final dormitory
must have been great check upon
neighborhood squabbles sometimes,
also, q pang to weak human hearts that
would like so much better to be buried
close to their own beloved, than by the
side of people for whom in life they had
cared but little. On every one of the
old mounds lies a small marble slab,
bearing either number or an inscription
of a name, dates of birth and of death
nothing more; the harsh word "died -
is never seen; always the kinder and
truer word departed, for which there
IS the authority of the Apostle Paul, az
we'll as of all poets.
It is an unconscious tribute to the
beauty of the old Moravian faith, and
the alienable truth of their view oil
death, that the townspeop]e of Bethle.
hem find this graveyard pleasant to nj
in; women bring their sewing, children
their toys, and spend whole afternoons
there in the summer; aud lively social
chat goes on with sort of home-like
freedom, which would seem impossible
in any public park, but seems inexplic-
ably natural in this sunny old graveyard.
Part of this strange atmosphere of good
cheer may be owing to the effect Of the
joyous ceremonies which are eli in this
graveyard at sunrise on every Easter
morning. It would seem in no wise I'M.
likely that their deep-seated gladnes.
should outlast short twelve months
time, and inger from Easter round Z

of worship and triumphant c0ntentment

vania and the Lehigh Valley Railroads

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

It will be apparent to any one who will examine
. SOLID GOLD WATCH, that aside from the neces-
sary thickness for engraving and polishing, large
proportion Of the PRECIOUS METAL used is
needed only to stiffen and hold the engraved
portions in place. and supply the necessary sedity
and strength. The surplus gold is actually need
less go far as UTILITY and beauty are concerned.
In JAMES BOSS, PATENT GOLD WATCH CASES
this WASTE of precious metal is overcome, and The
SAME soL1D1rY and STRENGTH produced at from
onethrd to one-half the usual cost of foid cases.
This process is of the most simple nature as fol.
lows: plate Of nickel composition metal, especial
~ adapted to the purpose, has two plates Of SOLID
GOLD soldered one on each side. The three are
then passed between polished steel rollers, and the
result is strip Of heavy plated composition, from
which the cases. backs centres, bezels ETC., are cut
and shaped by suitable dies and formers. The
gold in these cases is sufficiently thick to ADMIT Of
all kinds Of chasing, engraving and enametng; thu
engraved cases have been carried until worn per
fectly smooth by time and use without removing
the gold.
THIS IS THE ONLY CASE MADE WITH Two
PLATES OF SOLID GOLD AND WARRANTED
BY SPECIAL CERTIFICATE.

The Union have decided that the term
"workingmen," as applied in their constitu-
ton, does not include editors or reporters, and
therefore Judge Siemering and Mr.. Ryder
Taylor have retired from the list of active
members. In order to show their apprecia
ton Of those gentlemen they elected them to
honorary membership of the first degree. The
first degree of honorary membership was also
conferred upon Mr. w. K. Dobson, architect,
for his advocacy Of the principle that the con-
tract for each department in buildings shall be
let separately, thus enabling the workmen to
compete and giving him contractors lien on
his work. The local press were also enrolled
in the second degree of honorary membership,
in order that they might be privileged to at
tend the meetings.

TIE MUCH NEEDED CONGRESSIONAL
REFORM.

There is need, in view Of the great increase
OF the business before congress, consequent
| upon the growth Of the country, to devise i'm
proved methods for facilitating legislation,
without depriving mno tiles of their rights
| Boston Herald, Ind
Ifpapers like the Boston Herald, of which
our large cities north and west are full, would
apply whatever mental apparatus they have to
thinking it would take very short time to
''devise an improved method for facilitating
legislation" There is, perhaps. really no
reason why the increasing business of the
country should require any increase of legisla-
ton. for wise and judcious legislation will
make it its business to let the business of the
country alone. But if the Boston Herald
wants to facilitate legislation" which there
are many other reasons for wanting to facili-
tate, let it apply itselfto the arduous work of
excavating from the pigeon hole of the Judi
ciary committee OF the house the joint resou-
ton for so amending the constitution as
to abolish the private congressional calen-
der. The chairman Of that committee stated
on the floor of the House about six months
ago that such Joint resolution was lying in one
of its pigeon holes with its report, ready to
be submitted. When that me .sure shall be
accomplished two-thirds of the time of every
session Of congress, which is now applied to
the business OF that private calendar, will be
saved and may, if required, be applied to legi-
innate business. But if the leading journals
fail to see this gross abuse, or the people to
make its cure test of qualification at the
polls, the country will continue to mourn over
its national work postponed or shipwrecked,
and its national reputation sullied by incom-
petents, for congress will not abolish it TIL
constrained to do so by public sentiment.
We have repeatedly shown the enormous
extent of this evil, and urged that the matters
contained on that calendar are judicial matters
which congress is not competent to deal with.
and has no constitutional right to entertain,
and which may easily be disposed of bya
permanent commission, or by Justices of the
peace or other competent magistrates. Let
us abolish the private calendar, extend the
base Of apportionment SO as to reduce the
lower house to half its present numbers, purge
it of its pettifogers, AMI have an era of states
men.
