fhomis K. beechrr, shilc investigating
The mines at Dutch Flat, decided a ques-
tion which long perplexed the practical
miner-that, is that quiclssilyer will dis
solve gold. Miners have always under.
stood. that nothing but "aqua regia -
would dissolve gold, yet they have known
that mercury. after being used in saving
gold, retained portion it was impossible
to separate, except by retorting. They
called quicksilver in this condition
charged, " but supposed the gold was
merely held in suspension Mr.. Beecher,
being thorough chemist, described the
test he had made, which left no doubt
that mercury will dissolve gold, to the
extent that miners understand by the
term "charged.' The fact being under
stood, it is evident that mercury used in
a flume, though the cleanup may be
small, will contain in solution as much
gold as il it had amalgamated a greater
amount of gold Therefore miners should
retort their quicksilver after every
" cleanup" to save the loss Of the gold,
which necessarily wastes with the waste
of quicksilver, that this scientific dis
covery places beyond peradventure.

SERIOUS REFLECTIONS.

The Arkansaw legislature seems to be on the eve of adjournment. The time for which the gentlemen were sentenced. the sixty days prescribed by the consii,u- tiou, Is drawing to a close. bu, with an extension of the session. the people will be compelled to bear with the sage like discussions that aie wont to take place and find room in the newspapers. Arkansaw will never have an effective legislative body unless an epidemic, so arranged that certain class must be at tackled, sweeps over the country. Farci- cal general assemblies, the so called em- bodiments Of our long cherished states rights idea. are doing more toward the consummation of capitalization than all other influences combined The people are weary of useless, not 10 say injurious legislation.

A WAR EMORY.

General Steele. while in command of the federal torces at Little Rock, was oompellel by a pressure which he would have warded oa. to sanction the hanging ot one of the bravest young men who ever lived in Arkansaw
 One night. in lSo+. the piokets arrested young man named David Dodd. On his person were found diagrams of the Notifications, in regard to which he did not attempt to give any explanation. He lived in town. and had for some time been employed in the telegraph office, and was well known in the community as an homes, and upright boy. He was speedily court-martialed. When asked if he had any friends who would assist in his defense, he replied that he had, and requested that he be allowed to see James X. Henry, a well known citizen. Mir. Henry provided council and the trial be- gan. The war was nearly over, and the very faint gimmering of peace which shone through the dark clouds of battle. gave to the trial peculiar interest. The trial lasted several days. Evidence that could not be disputed was produced. EveY one knew that he could not have drawn up the diagrams and marked with such military precision the weak places in the Notifications. The only defense he made was that the papers were given him by gentleman with a request that he give them to some one else. Every one believed this story. General Steele did not dispute it. He persistently re fused to divulge the names of the man who drew the diagrams or the man to

A BAD THIEF.

The nited States is the especial field of the literary thief. There are publish ing housesln this country whose supper, IS derived from theft-s,ealing the works of foreign authors. There IS another kind of literary thief which the editor O, Blackbum's Free .SonM thinks is one of darkes, shade:
 The dramatixer who takes a novel and prepares 1t tor the stage and [. en pub- fishes It as his own-not even conde- sending to bessow the small charity of mentioning the authors name-is thief ef the meanest kind. As general rule. such dramatizations never come up to the authors conceptions-the characters as represented on the stage are but silly. puerile caricatures of the originals hence the '.dramatist' who travessies a noble work should indulge the small courtesy of telling the common public upon what writer's production he has written a burlesque. The meaness jus tice to the author demands this-bes,des. the least intelligent among us. who can read at all. are possessed of fair taste, and are entitled 10 be referred to the true yer sion for their intellectual enjoyment.

rHAi species of civilization which dis courases railroads. Is careless m regard ,o schools, but which alone encourages the establishment of churches, IS growth unheai,hful in discrimination. The church may point out the road from the grave, but all of the territory th.s side of the grave comes within the benefting in- fiucnces of the railroad. Civilization is composed ot many parts. When ii be- comes known that fife church is not alone the worlds only machinery of en- lishteament. .irkansaw will be aroused from kind of self-satistied stupor. The Protestant church m Arkansaw not only dictates legislation but even invades the precincts of private affairs. Still we do not see that the lives of our ministers sparkle with the dewdrop. of bright ex- ample. With but few exceptions our min isters stand" around on the streets like ordinary mor,als. Why stand ye here all the day idle " does not seem 10 call a roll on the drum ot their ears. IL IS a very serious matter for man, inheri,ing weakness from the orthodox Adam, to plant himself on an eminence of critical survey. From the pulpit the minister con- demns idleness, but in truth he Is often an idler. The life of preacher should be ,he life of student and worker. When there is no work to be performed among the weak and hungry, he should bury himself in his library in the intellectual work of devising plan to keep his con- yegation awake. He should not build a picket fence around his mind and dwarf it.s The preachers mind should be broad. He should encourage the build ing of railroads, for they bring pupils to the school-house.

Several days ago. ex-Governor Churchill and ex-t,overnof Miller became involved in a dispute and hit each other and clawed and scratched They are both old men-old and respected men-and they should have more respect for themselves than to fight while the legisla,ureeis in session.
