between them. He walked out Of cover
and skulking low among the stunteu

dirt in his mouth, beating him with their
sticks, and calling him by all the bad

after they had relieved their feelings

A Romance in Mining History.

Under the Spanish regime in Peru. as
far back as 1860, one of the richest
silver mines was that known as the
MantO, owned by two Andalusian
Spaniards, the brothers Jose and Caspar
Salcedo, and the mineral was found in
large deposits of virgin silver, which
was sent directly to the mint at Are
quipa. just as it came from the mine.
Quite large city, San Luis de Alva,
soon grew up around the habitations
of the Salcedos, to which resorted the
wild, adventurous spirits from all
quarters of Peru, in quest of some
share in the wonderful output of silver,
whether by craft or force. Soon a feud
broke out between the Andalusians and
the Bsscavans. who had come to outnum-
Der the former. Bitter conflicts took
place, and in one of these, it is said. as
many as a thousand men of the two
parties were left on the field Of battle.
The incessant bloody disturbances finally
provoked the Spanish viceroy, Don
Pedro Fernandez y Andrade Condo de
Lemos, to 90 to the scene with con
siderable force in June, 1868. He burned
San Luis de Alva to the ground and took
away from it the title of city, which was
transferred to the neighboring village of
San Juan Bautista, with the name San
Carlos Gle Puno. Don Jose de Salcedo
sought to placate the viceroy by the
present of the bars of silver with which
he had paved the pathway from San Luis
to his own house for the vicerov 10
walk upon. but while the silver was ac-
cepted, the unfortunate Salcedo was
placed IN irons. The same night there
was affixed to the door Of the lodgings
Of the viceroy these words: s.Count de
Lemos, abate your zeal. for If not we
shall see" This pasquin, so to speak,
having been carried to the viceroy, he
wrote beneath it: 9 We shall kill. We
shall hang. Afterward we shall see. !"
This was then re-atfached to the door.
the chiefs Of both parties were hung. and
Don Jose de Salcedo was strangled at
the mouth Of his rich silver mine, which
was c0niiscated to the crown Of Spain.
The other brother, Don Gaspar, who
meanwhile had fed to Spain, demanded
restitution Of the property and justice
before the council Of the Indies for the
execution Of Don Jose, by whose death,
ne declared, the Spanish crown was
great loser, inasmuch as the mine when
worked BY them, had paid 10 the king
"a the preceding two years and hall as
much as 81. IA, 900 as the crowns share
q the whole product Of 50, $50, 900.
Alter seven years Of solicitation he
gained hls suit and recovered possession
Of the property. But meanwhile all his
fortune had been spent in Spain, and the
mine, having been left unWorked, was

miss you, my daring my darling;
The erlbers burn low On the hearth,
And stiIIed Is the cir Of the household,
And hushed Is the voice Of its mirths
The rain FLASHES fast on the terrace,
The winds past the Iattices moan;
The midnight chimes out from the Minister
And am alone.
! want you, my darling, my darling;
am tired with care and with fret
would nestle in silence beside You,
And all but your presence forget.
In the hush Of the happiness given,
To these who through trusting have grown
To the fullness OF love in commitment;
But am alone.
call you, my darling, my darling;
My voice echoes back ON my heart;
stretch my arms to You in longing,
And 10! they fall empty, apart
whisper the sweet words you taught me,
The words that we only have known.
TIL the blank of the dumber air is bitter.
For am alone
need you, my darling, my darling;
With its yearning my very heart aches;
The load that divides us weighs harder:
I shrink from the jar that it makes.
Old sorrows rise up beforeme;
Old doubts my spirit they own.
Oh, come through the darkness and save me,
For am alone

The NutrIment In Chess.

In lecture before the Society OF
Arts, London, Prof. Williams said
that twenty pounds &C cheese contain
ed as much nutritious material as a
sheep Of sixty pounds, and would give
the same value in practical nutriment
If it could be as easily digested. The
lecturer then demonstrated that the
cause Of indigestibility in cheese was
the loss of its potassium salts in the
process of manufacture Another
savant present decided to experiment
as to the feasibility Of restoring the
lost salts and making the .rticle per-
fectly digestible He is said to have
succeeded 50 well that the matter will
soon be tried on large scale. The
amount Of the bicarbonate Of potash
restored II ounces to one pound of
cheese. The two are simply melted
together over a slow fire. with small
quantity Of milk.

second half ofthe year. the half during
which the list Of 1883 WAS taken, Of 81. 1872

from June 80 to January 1, 1884. the total

Miss Elizabeth Ruth Stone who died al

aud resided during tho greater part Of her
life. Being an only child and il delicate

most tender and devoted care After the
close Of tho war the family renewed to
Maryland in the hope that warmer eli.
mate would prove beneficial to different
members Of the household. Here her
warm, sffections:s nature. and her ardent
love for tbs Episcopal church, OF which

her many friends. But afiiiotion followed
this change Of residence and she was called
TO minister TO the wants Of an aunt through
years Of protracted suffering and finally TO
follow her to the grave. The father was
also stricken suddenly with heart disease,
leaving her the care Of her enfseblsi
mother, who, broken down by repeated
