Ingenious women,

Troy Telegram: Monday there Was 4
big excursion from the collar shops to
Ssratoga. Hundreds Of Troy's pretty
young ladies went 10 Saratoga.
The sky threatened rain.
The young ladies wore bustles.
Perhaps there was no connection between
the threatening sky and the bustles-and
perhaps there was.
Shortly after the excursion reached Sara
toga the rain began to pour. Many Of the
young ladies with their escorts were seated
in the parlor Of the hotel when the rain
began to fall. The prospect was dismal
as viewed from the hotel windows. Within
it seemed sad, too. The airy and tasty
dresses Of the excursionists must be spoiled
by a venture on the street. Umbrellas
were few and far between and there seemed
an entire derth Of outside coverings.
But witness the ingenuity Of the young
ladies Of the day.
As il by preconcerted action the young
ladies arose one after another and left the
parlor.
In . few minutes they returned. All
wore gossamer cloaks. But the bustles
were gone.

Sir Moses Montenore.

In the last number OF Harper's Weekly,
Oct. 20, there is q portrait Of one OF the
noblest members of the Jewish race now
living. Sir Moses Montefore, the Old Man
Beneicent. The picture represents a
grand specimen Of physical and intellectual
manhood. The face, Of Oriental cast, is
strongly outlined, and the features express
. marked character for goodness and char
ity. On the lineaments OF his magnificent
face are portrayed the greatness Of soul
which has characterized his actions
through life, the greater portion Of which
has been devoted to the amelioration Of
the condition Of the Jewish race in Asia
and Europe; while, however, his charities
were by no means confined to his own
people. The history Of his long and
beneicent life-he is now . little past 80
years Of age-is one Of great interest gen.
orally, but certainly must be extremely so
TO those with whom he is identified by the
ties Of race and religion. Sir Moses.
knighted for his deeds OF philanthropy,
was several years ago a guest at the house
Of : gentleman in England. one of whose
cons residesat present in Eureka, and who
directed our attention to the noble subject

This peculiar product-called . s'miner.
al' in the official documents. because it il
supposed to have been produced. geologi-
cally, from coal-now constitutes one OF
the most important Of the country's *
ports. 1t may not eventually prove to be
a mineral in any other sense than is i'm
piled by its being found in the subterra-
mean rocks, for it is not yet certain that II
is not produced from measureless mil
lions Of . minute marine shell fish
that once lived in the ancient seas. What
ever it is, q product Of coal. or Of what
was once q form Of animal life, it is essen
TALLY made OF carbon and hydrogen, and
is proving to be an invaluable addition to
the worlds possessions. It seems
strange that this substance, so early
known, should have remained, during all
these centuries. unused-except by
some OF the followers Of Zoroaster, who
have for q long time utilized the naphtha
springs at Baku, on the shores Of the
Caspian Sea, to keep alive their perpetual
fire.

b1llie's style.

Sallie Winnemucca is now lecturing in
New York. She, or her friends for her,
feel that nothing is lost by being sensa.
tional. The following description Of hel
dress as she appears in her lectures is given
"Her apparel was Of dressed deer.skin,
buff colored and heavily fringed with
beads, reaching q little below the knees,
and displaying her legs encased in red
leather leggins and . pair Of moccasini
trimmed to match her dress. Pendent
at her side was a handsomely embroidered
pouch. Her black hair, which reached
below her waist, was brushed smoothly
back from her forehead. She is forty
years old, less than five feet high. and her
features. though large, are attractive
Doubtless not q few Of her audience
suppose this to be the everyday dress Of
the ladies OF her tribe in their NATIVE
wilds. Could q few Of Sallie's '~'sisters ani
her cousins and her Aunts" be ranged
alongside her as they appear on oul
| streets, says Dan DeQuille, the man ce O.
Indian life would suffer . fearful downfall
A venerable squsw, with tar on her cheek

| double handful OF rotten fruit scoopet

A eve nre seven" scheme.

The Chinese custom Of killing the female
infants Of q family is, Of course, admirably
adapted to keep down expenses and OBJ
viate Inconvenience, but Is public opin-
ion in England could not be reconciled Ia
so simple a remedy. other channels Of
relief have to be sought in that country.
In the case Of persons Of high position,
who groan under the infliction OF six or
seven daughters, the Queen has in more
than one case evinced her royal sympathy
BY selecting from such quiverfuls her
maids of honor; but maids of honor are
limited in number, and are generally en-
dowed with a barnacle-like t~enscity Of life
and Office. Under these circumstance the
owners OF "We are seven" turn to the sis
terhoods, which promise to be to Protes-
tant young ladies the relief valve that con-
vents have long been to Roman Catholics.
There is scarcely q family OF rank now
which has not q member among them.

Our Mining Interests.

Speaking Of the mining interests Of the
country, the Chicago Mining Review truly
says: There is at the present time perhaps
no question of more vital importance to
the future prosperity and permanent
power and development Of the American
continent than the proper utilization by
the Government of its mineral ~our
Every other nation and people are jealous
OF their privileges and advantages. and
their policy is guided almost solely by the
one motive OF self-interest; but the United
States Government appears to be blindly
Indifferent to the most valuable points Of
prosperity and the solid basis Of . relia-
bic permanence. This one feature 10 shown
in the strongest light in the most absurd
position taken upon the subject of silver
coinage.

The Miner and Mts bldg,

The newest story from the mines in New
Mexico is from Socorro, where they tell Of
q miner whose Bible fell over . precipice
while he was doing. He descended into
the canyon to recover the book. and found
it open on q piece OF rich quartz that had
been d~islodged by the fall. His eye fell on
the seventh chapter Of St. Matthew. The
miner read. ''Ask and it snail be given
unto you; seek and you shall find" He
searched and speedily found . lode over
" feet in width that assays so the story
goes-S225 a ton. The story teller adds
that that part Of the country has since been
overrun by prospectors with Bibles in their
hands.

who Discovered the secret Of vslue
In Stag RAlesf
The answer TO this question would b
generally interesting in the scientific
world, but particularly 90 in Eureka. II
10 here, We believe, that the lead bath"
process was first applied to extract from
'speiss" (until recently looked upon ~
mere refuse from the furnsces) the small
per cent Of the precious metals that 1t re-
tains. The process has proved very valu-
able. a. IL shown by the '~'bonanzs" devel'
oped in the Richmond Stag dump In
which, as in . new mine, . force of men
are employed extracting lead and ''speiss"
on which one furnace il kept continuously
at work. just what the lead bath" pro-
cess 10, or what the results Of working by
1t have been, cannot be accurately stated
There il an air Of secrecy and ofishness
which repels inquiry. Its evident impor-
lance, however, judged by what report
says of the developments in the Richmond
dump and Hank Donnelly's project to
apply the process to the big Eureka Con.
dump, make people talk about it consider
ably. st. George T. Bryant 10 said 70
have discovered the principles involved In
the lead bath" process which are being
applied now 1t the Richmond works. 1t
is stated that some years ago he suggested
the idea to Mr.. Probert, who put him
aside impatientiy, and that he broached
the subject afterwards TO Hank Donnelly,
Superintendent Of the Eureka Con-, who
brusquely invited him to stand aside - he
was in the way Of the miners. II
seems, according to report, that Mr..
Probert reflected on Mr., Bryants
proposition 1t . later day and
put his ideas TO . successful practical test,
ss intimated. And o comes Mr.. Don
nelly, SO the story goes. and leans upon
Mr.. Bryant IS his right hand man in his
great project to separate the gold and
silver and the iron from the speiss accumu-
lated at the reduction works Of the Eureka
Con. Mr.. Bryant il at present East, and
il 10 said that his business 10 in the Patent
Office at Washington, D. c.; in other
words, that he has gone to headquarters to
take the necessary steps TO get out Z
patent for the invention Of the ''lead bath"
process, ~ it is known in Eureka. It IL
speculated, also, that Mr.. Probert claims Z
right to . patent to the same or . similar
discovery-tbe process in use at the Rich.
mond-snd that he either has applied for
. patent or is about to do so; and
that he will protest against the
right OF Mr.. Bryant 70 the patent
in question. There are those who say thai
st. George has slept upon his rights until
he has practically forfeited them, and that
all he can do will be to bar anybody else
who applies for . patent for an invention
the principles involved in which he is a.
legged to have discovered . good while ago;
