WAR In TIE MoUSTAINs.-Greenvi March
2s.-A party of deputy United States marshals,
consisting of James Fisher John E. Gaze, W. D.
Good and others, left here yesterday to execute
warrants against moonshiners in tho Saluda
Mountains. When in the neighborhood of Pc
ter Mountain, one Of the Saluda range, the squad
divided and o. F. Hightower, their guide, after
continuing some distance with one portion
Of the squad, was left in charge Of the bugges
in which they were travelling. On the squad's s
reassembling Hightower was missing. A shot
and cries Of distress had been heard. This
morning it was ascertained that Hightower was
shot while walking on the side Of the mountain,
the bullet entering his right side just above the
hip and passing through his body. The --latest
f,tmation is that he cannot live many hours.
The shooting is believed to have been done by
Marion Watson, who is reported TO be the leader
of o band Of moonshiners armed and equipped
for determined war on oil revenue officers and
marshals.
An evercoat found to-day near the spot where
the shooting occurred has been identified as Wat
sons. Watson's illicit still was raided and had
just en- removed. Henry Alexander, colored
Hcke Barton and John Summer, moonshiners,
were captured by the squad and brought to Jail
to-day. Hightower is an old moonshiner,
against whom cases are docketed in the United
States District Court for trial in August He
has recently turned spy and informer against
other moonshiners, seeking perhaps in this way
to expiate his own offences, and has thus in
surred their bitter ennity. A person who left
Hightower at o'clock to-day says he cannot
possibly recover.-Co Cor. Ners and Courier,

PRIyACY.-A worthy wife Of forty years
standing, and whose life was not made up
of sunshine and peace, gave the following
sensible and impressive advice to married
pair of her acquaintance. The advice is
good "Prcscrvc sacredly the privacies of
your own house, your married state Of your
heart Let no father or mother, sister or
brother ever presume to come between you
two, or to share your joys ard sorrows that
belong 20 you Two alone. Build your quiet
world, not allowing your dearest earthly
friend to be the confdant Of ought that
concerns your domestic happiness. Let
moments of alienation, if they occur, be
healed at once. Never, no never, speak Of
it outside, but each other confess, and all
will como out right. Never let the morrow's
sun find you at variance. Review and re-
new your vow-it will do you good and
hereby your souls will grow together
ccmcnted in that love which is stronger
than death, and you will become truly
one"

MILLIONS IN SAND.-A bushy haired,
grizzly bearded inventor stood over a ma

loft at 93 Washington street, yesterday
afternoon. lie was Mr. S. r. Krom. He
called hs machine "dry concentrator. -

Mr.. krom was ladling Maryland sand into
its hopper. The sand ran from the hopper
over sunkcn finger board, and was agita.
ted by puffs OF air until it rcscmbcd min
iature chop sea. The puffs of air came up
through the finger. board, which was given
& 5arfibg motion. There were 600
puffs to the minute. The light sand was
shaken from the fiuger>board and the heavy
s,nd dropped into a fan like wheat pouring
from flaming mill. The heavy sand Was
Of bright metallic color, aud looked like
grains Of galena.
"This," said Mr.. Krom, sitting it through
his fingers, sis chrome ore. 1t came from
an estate owned by Patrick Calhoun,
grandson Of John G. Calhoun, on the Wes-
tern, Maryland Railroad, fourteen miles from
Baltimore, 1t is worth S25 ton. Calhoun
owns 220 acres, containing millions Of tons
Of this sand tyic,dS minimum Of 10 per
cent of this chrome ore, and by the use Of
this machine he can deliver the ore in Bal
timore for five dollar rcr ton"
A chemist who was present said the chro.
mate Of potash is obtained from this ore by
fus:pg the ore with potash. 1t is used for
colorings and dyes. 1t gives the permanent
green and yellow colors seen in illuminated
posters ard in bank notes. 1t is in great
demand in calico, woolcn and carpet manu-.
factories Over. 100000 pounds were
imported last at a duty of three and half
cents per pound. The ore is only found in
Turkey, Russia, Siberia, California and
Maryland. Large quantities. OF it are used
by the manufacturers of irop aud steel 1t
hardens these metals and gives them great
tensile power. Chrome steel has been freely
used in the construction Of the Brooklyn
bridge. The manager of the Brooklyn Steel
Works says that the chrome steel is worth
three cents pound more than any other
steel. He says that it must come into gen.
eral use. The trouble with manufacturers
in the future will lie to fnd it in deposits
large enough to fill the demand, as it is a
very scarce mineral. Within three years
he thinks that demand will be greater than
the supply. A company has been formed
in this city to utilize the deposits on MIR.
