BURIAL PLACE OF THE PRoPHET.-On
The ascent of the Mount of Olives, adjoin-
ing the Jewish Cemetery, is plot of
ground which has been preserved to the
Jews from time immemorial as the burial
place of the prophets Haggai, Zechariah
and Malachi. Hebrews the world over
have been distressed by the report that
the sacred spot was about to be sold by
the Turkish authorities to Christian
sect, which intended to build a church
upon it. At last accounts the completion
of the sale had been deferred by Raout
Pacha at the urgent solicitation of the
spiritual heads OF the Jewish community.
The intending purchaser is said to be the
Russian Archimandrite in Jerusalem, and
the price agreed upon is ESQ.
The annual yield CT the lead mines of
the world is estimated at 100000 tons,
of which the United States furnishes one
fourth, or about 100000 tons. Spain
takes the lead of all lead producing coun-
tries, with 10000 tons; New Granada
supplies more of the quota from South
America, and Mexico, Canada and Aus
tralia make up the rest of the grand total.
