PRoDUcr OF TIE CoNsruCk.-The
Virginia Chronicle SAYS the daily
shipments of ore from the Comstock
mines to the stamp mills on the Car
son river now average nearly 1000
tons, requiring 30 ore cars to con-
vey it on the V. & 7. railroad.
The daily output from the Con.
Cal. and Va. averages nearly 400
tons. The Gold Hill mines are pro-
ducing little over $50 tons every
twenty-four hours. The bullion Weld
from this ore foots up at the lowest
estimate $550,0O0 per month, larg-
.er yield than the output from the
mines in Butte city, Montana, which
boast monthly payroll of 100000.
From the present outlook the bull
ion product of the Comstock lode will
reach 100000 in the ensuing
twelve months. The project of the
Chollar management to erect stamp
mills operated by water power e
crush low-grade ore from that mine
Of which there is large deposit on
the upper levels, will add materially
to the above estimate.
The monthly operating expenses
of the Con. Cal. 4 Va. mine average
about sl25,O00 including the sun
discussed to employees, while the pres
emit bullion output is nearly s330,00t
per month.
The Gold Hill mines, according Il
the quarterly official statement, pro
duce bullion valued at 100000 PEI
month, which on account Of the low
grade of ore exereted barely defray,
he cost of production.

Mineral and Electricity.

A dispatch from Leadville a while
ago stated that wild craze had
struck that place, over a new electric
which is used to determine
the location from surface observa.
tons, of underground mineral bod
les. 1t is the invention of a promi-
nent electrician of Boston, and is con-
structed upon the theory that the
strong electric currents known to be
induced by large mineral bodies can
be utilized to locate the latter. The
machine is simple affair, consisting
of electrodes which connect with bat
terles IN box containing an electric
needle. The influence of the electric
suoterranean currents upon the needle
is supposed to indicate the strength
of an ore body. For instance. ore
that would swerve the needle 80 de.
grees would be considered yerv strong
while Is or 20 would be correspond.
ingly smaller.

A HANDY BOOK.
A Chinese Book of Reference Consisting of
 22,937 Volumes.


 About the year A. D. 618 the Tang dynasty was established, and the land had rest from its long internal wars. Under the peaceful sway of this im- perial house a library of S0,0O0 books was collected, and rightly to appreciate this statement it is necessary to remem- Der that though the art of making paper from the inner bark of trees, fishing nets and old rags had been discovered by the Marquis Ts'ai about a hundred years before the Christian era, that of printing was not known, or at least not generally adopted, till about the year A. D. 1000, under the patronage of the Emperors of the Sung dynasty. From that time to the present each suc- cessive dynasty has done its part to en- courage literature-none more heartily than the Tartar race who now reign. The Emperor Yunglo, of the Ming dynasty, who ascended the throne A. D. 1403, resolved to have vast encyclope- dia compiled which would embrace all desirable knowledge. For this purpose he appointed no less than 2,000 Con- missioners, who, after toiling for years, presented the Emperor with nice handy book of reference in 22,917 vol- umes. However valuable this book might have proved, it was decided that it was rather too voluminous for the printers, so the fruit of SO much toll was stored in manu- script in the Imperial Palace at Pekin, where its remains are still treas- ured. The idea thus suggested was car- ried out three hundred years later by the Manchoo Emperor, Kang-hi, who com missioned the wise men of the Empire to illustrate upward of six thousadd sub jects, by collecting all allusions to them which might be scattered among exist ing books. This encyclopedia of ex- tracts was published in A. D. 1726, and consists of upward of five thousand vol- umes containing the cream of Chinese literature. A complete copy of this very comprehensive and valuable work has recently been secured for the British Museum, whose own amaz- ing catalogue scarcely ecllpses that of the Imperial Library pub lished at the close of the eighteenth cen- tury, and enumerating upward of 173,- 900 volumes on all branches,of literature, without including works of fiction, dra- mas, or any books relating to the Taou- ist or Buddhist religions. It is, however, necessary to add that the majority of these books are little more than mere commentaries, by intellectual pigmies of modern days, on the writings of men possessed of a far wider range of thought and freer imagination than these their cramped descendants.-C P. Gordon Cunlnli1ag, i71 Gel1tLen1Gn'S s M0gazine.

THE LAST SLAVE.

A Negro the Master of the Last African
 Held in Southern Bondage.
 The last slave held in a state of bond age in the South was owned by negro. It was not usual for negroes to hold slaves, but it was the case in some in- stances, and it is said by those who had an opportunity to know that the negro was hard task-master, and more cruel and exacting owner than his brother in white.
 There lived in Thomas County one Collin Aston, who for years before the war came on had been his own master. He was thrifty fellow, and as soon as he became possessed of sufficient sum of money he bought Milly Reynolds, a negro woman. He did not own land on which to work the woman, and so he hired her out. It seems that the woman was something of physician, after the peculiar methods of her race, and thus her owner turned her skill in this re- spect to his own profit, and her pills and her root teas came to be well known among her colored neighbors, and it may have been among the whites as well, for the belief in quack remedies and quack doctors is one of the strong est instincts of human nature.
 Alter awhile the war came on; the strife grew more bitter, and the tide of success wavered between the two sec- tions, but with every returning wave the limits of the Confederacy grew more circumscribed, and then came the end. During all these bloody years the wom- an physician piled her calling for the benefit of her colored owner, and even after the end had come, and the rest of her race were realizing the mixed joys and sorrows of freedom, she con- tinued the unwilling slave of her sable master. Of course she had heard of the close of the war, and of freedom, but such was the influence held over her by Aston, her owner, that she dared not assert her rights. Among the fast nesses and iungles that skirt lovely Mic- cosukie her master held her in bond- age, and now that the negroes had become their own masters, and had money of their own, her calling brought additional wealth to Collin Aston. Nearly year thus passed, and, al- though Milly Reynolds had often spoken of the boon withheld from her, she could not induce herself to break the chains that bound her. At last, however, with the aid and by the advice of a lady, who is now living in this city, and who gave us the history of this wonderful episode connected with slavery, she ran away from her master, and as he had no au- thority to reclaim her she became at last free. Both of the parties have long since died, and very few of those who knew of the incident still remain on earth.-Thonaasvilye (Ga.) Register.

A FORCIBLE DECISION.
Judge Peterson's Opinion on the Averae
 Bill Collector.

Judge Peterson's Opinion on the Average
 Bill Collector.
 A powerful decision was recently ren dered against bill collectors by Nashville Judge. The Judge, It seems, is in the habit of taking an appeal when bill is presented to him. This annoyed the collectors. Ont bold young fellow was determined to face the jurist in his den and argue from tabu lated evidence, showing that the Judge was much in debt to wholesale liquor house. The unfinching young man walked into the court room, took position in front of the Judges desk and said:
 ''This is Judge Peterson I believe"
 ''Yes the Judge answered, as he sus piciously eyed the young man.
 The collector handed the Judge a bill. The Judge looked at it, recognized it as an old acquaintance, handed it back to the young man and said:
 Tell them that I'll come by and settle !"
 They've heard that several times al- ready" the collector replied. Now want to know whether to come back here or not"
 "No, you needn't"
 ''WeIl, then. I'll stay until you render your decision"
 The Judge flew out over the desk, like a piece of whalebone, and knocked tIe young man dOwn-knOcked all his teeth into the southeast corner of his mouth. It is likely that the young man may appeal from the decision, but it should teach les son to bill collectors. Why, hang it, when a man says that he will be around the first of the month why don't they thank him politely and retire?-ArkGnsGD TrdUeteF.
