SOme- times the inclined plane is coyer- at with wooIen cloth, to which the gold adheres; wanting the clyth Ihe gypsIes now and then use for the same purpose the more ancient substitute of a fleece. The manner of collecting gold dust on sheep's f1eeces upon inclined planes is represented in the curious old works Of AgricOla. In the rivers of Colchis the cus- tom is stilled retained of placing sheep skins in the beds of the Phasa and other aurifer0us streams to collect particles Ofgold, hence the dedication of such fleeces to the gods, and the fabu> lous history of the Argcnauts, as far as it related to the Golden Fleece. The more common man> ipulatiGn among the gypsies of the Banat, as far as the gold washing is concerned, is perform- ed by means of a plank of lime tree, six feet long and one and a half inches thick. At ths upper extremity is small trough, and across the board are about a dozen grooves of furrows cut in the
 wood: The plank is set at an angle of 45 degrees. The sand is put into the trough at the upper end, and thence, by plenty of wa ter, washed down the sloping board. The gold dust falls into the grooves, whence it is scraped or brushed off. It might be sup- posed that 8 great deal of gold is lost by the careless method, but long experience has made the gypsies very expert; they know how to distinguish the rich and poor sand, and a careful exa min- alton of the taiIings proves that
 hardly a particle of gold escapes them during the operation. The
 gold is in the form of fiue dust, the sand containing it is mixed
 with black particles of highly
 magnetic iron, garnets and mica. London Mining Journal.

A Cooked Hat.

The Cecil Democrat of last week
publishes the following description
Of peculiar old hat which was found
by the carpenters while repairing
Clinton McCullough's house. Thls
building is one Of the Old house of
Elkton. The work men found in the
garnet peculiarly-shaped old black
fur hat, which at one time had evil

the Lat was cut in q semi-circular
form and turned up on each side and
fastened together at the top above
the crown; and on one side was
rosette Of black ribbon. in the center
of which was gilt button
This is veritable "cocked hat"
of revolutionary days, with a black
cockade. The cockade was worn as
party badge; one party wearing a
white and the opposing party black
cocade. Those were warm times
"when this old hat was new" King
George and his rebellious colonists
were preparing to tackle each other,
and if we are not mistaken, the black
cockade represented the royalistparty.
When the war broke out they got
the name of "TOries."

and 6 months he gave public exhi-
bition in Richmond theatre, and this
career of pnblic exhibition has been
followed up since, giving readings or
rather rehearsels in all parts Of the
country. With constant practice and
the development of mind and physical
strength the boy orator must have
greatly improved, and if his wonder

astonished all who heard him at so

may be anticipated, by all who come
