Mama from the East.

Don Luigi Sattori writes to the
 Baltimore Sdn from Upper Falls Post-Office, Baltimore, County, Md, as follows: ''Irave1ing in the East last year, from Arabia to Pal estine, I met Q good Arn1sniari priest coming from Mesopotamia: Among various articles of diet hs brought with him in his journey to Constantinople there were about five pounds of mama incased in leather bag. At his meals he parA took of that food as we do cakes. He positively maintained that siich food falls from heaven as white powder two or three times year, and is collected from the leaves of trees and from the surface of fat stones. The food when protected by leather, will keep five or sik years. I send you piece of thls mama for curiosity. I eat of this food, and it contains great deal of sugar. From the positive de- scription of the good priest it can not be natural exudat.on from the leaves of the plant alhagi manrorum, which was believed by early Arabian writers to have fal- len from heaven. The good priest had excellent credentials. We both were allowed to say mass at the historical Franciscan Convent at Jafa."

The Miller Process for Refining
 Gold and Silver.

Mir. Miller stated in his appsica ton for a patent that his InveG- aion has for its object the tough ching of brittle gold bullion and the refining of alloyed-whether naturally or artifcially alIoyed- together with the separation of any silver 1t may contain. The operations requisite may be ger formed en the sole of a reverbera. tory furnace or in retorts made Of some refractory material, CT, as the inventor prefers, in good clay cfucibles,
 f,he crucibles are prepared by dipping them in strong solution of borax in hot water, and subse- qiently drying them. In these, the gold to be operated OF Is nielt. ed in the ordinary manEer, witE the addition of one half of per cent of fused borax, a well fitting cover having first been lated ever the mouth of each crucible em ployed In this cover are one or more holes to allow of the irtru- duction of a tube or tubes con structed of some suitable refracto- " material, such as fire clay, d5- seending to the bottom of th crt- cible, and through which chlofins gas or hydrochloric acid gas is forced while the gold is in nielt- ed state. After the chlorine gas CT hydrochlcric acid gas has bgeI thus passed through the melted gold for d sufficient tina, which necessarily varies acccrding to the quantity and quality of the gold operated on, the silver and baser metals are converted into chloridesi and rise to the surface of the re- fined gold. The more volatile chlo- rides partially escape, and the re- mainder is easily removed by pour ing the entire contents of the cru cible into the moulds and taking
 
 out the cake of chloride as soon as cold, or by allowing the gold to cool sufficiently to set or become solid, but not to become so cold as to prevent the more fusible chlo- rides from being poured of, to bs subsequently reduced to the ttetal lie state by any of the welI-Krown methods.

A Mothers Love.

Maternal love is the embodimento of
the one idea ofperfectness, andpurity,
and faith under the heavens.
In the hour of resolve and emula-
ton the valor of the warrior may be
overpowering; and the pathetic fervOr
and enthusiasm of the orator and poet
may thrillus to glourious exhaltation;
but at the final test, with death clos
ing about us, besides the hearts trust
in God, the mothers love bears all
analysis, becomes stronger, and truer,
and more potent to support as earth
and its transitory hopes fade further
and further away.
To look up to the blue, beautiful
heaven, so wide, so mercifully wide
for all the erring and repentant; one
thought of all the mother has borne
andstruggled for, one fervid realiza-
ton of her patience and sublime trust
seems to be the second Calvary of
our hopes. Her work in life, our
own belief in its fidelity and except
ance in heavens sight, seem to lessen
the wretchednesS and failure of our
own weak labors.
Her face may behomelyan wrink-
led and old, her hands faltering and
unsteady, yet those features are aure-
Died with silver crown won through
patient suffering, those trembling
fingers are magnetic still to thrill and
guide and bless.
What we owe her volumes have
told. How much silently and earnest
ly we repay her, sheneverknows this
side of the grave.
For the soul that has wandered, re-
turning to its allegiance in latter
years, can never tell in words the
emotions it experiences, can never
frame the soulful thoughts that strive
to atone for the remiSSiVeneSS of the
past.
Amid the bitterest contrition, and
the longings of hopeless regret, the
SOULS ardent love makes up for all
the careless gone by years; the in
fluence of a mothers example is ac.
cepted, and sought for, and profited
by, and cherished.
If the hidden emotions of many 8
heart, seemingly hardened and i'm
mersed in the cares Of life, were re-
vealed, we would be surprised tC
know how many are on the border
line Of heavenly, faith, only because
to them the mystery of a mothers
love has never yet departed from
their memory.

An Old Charm Against witchcraft.

While jefferson Grimley, carpenter,
was engaged tearing down the cornice
of house near Schwenksville, he found
piece of pine wood six and one-half
inches long, whitfield roughly into the
form of cylinder. Six holes were bored
into the wood, three going entirely
through, but having different diameters.
In the largest hole stuck pin, cut from
the same kind of wood. This instru-
ment, it is explained, was used to pre-
vent certain supposed wizards from
carrying on their mysterious arts. The
pin was placed in the different sized
holes to impose upon the wizard differ
ent degrees of torture, and when placed
in the largest hole it would infallibly
kill. 1t was found sticking in the hole
when the affair was discovered. A
wooden pin was also driven into the door
jamb of the horse stable. Behind the
pin was lot of horse hair and piece of
paper covered with cabalistic marks.
This was designed to prevent spells be-
ing put upon the horses while blowing

TO GO OR NOT TO GO.

The following, from rebel journal, is
worthy of being fled away among the his
torical archives of the late war:
To go or not to so, that is the question;
Whether it pays best to suffer Fostering
By idle girls and garrulous old women,
Or to take up arms against lot of Yankees,
And by opposing getkilled-to die, to sleep,
(Git eout) and in this sleep to say we "sink
To rest by all our country's wishes best"
And live foreyer--( that's contamination,
Just what I'm after. To march, to fight
To fight! Perchance to die; aye, there's
the rub
For while I'm asleep who'd take care of
Mary
And the babes--when Bill is in the lower
ground;
Who'd feed 'em, hey There's the respect
have for them that makes life sweet;
For who would bear the bag to mill,
Pillow Dobbin. cut the wheat, dig tatcrs,
Kill hogs, and d" all sorts of drudgery,
If am fool enough to get Yankee
Bullet on the brain! Who'd cry for me?
Would patriotism pay my debts, when dead!
But, oh the dread OF something after death;
That undiscovered fellow who'd court Mary,
And do my huggin'-tha.'s agony,
And makes me want to stay at home,
Specially as amt mad with nobody.
Shells and bullets moke towards of us all.
And bland my skin il snortin' steeds
And pomp and circumstance of war,
Are to be compared with feather bed
And Mary by my side.

Safe Danger.

Safety is commonly promoted by a
sense Of danger. Caution is an ac-
compartment of courage. Not he
who is sure that he will never fall or
fail stands firmest in the hour ofpe;il;
but he who realizes the necessity of
watchfulness at every step and on
every side and who knows that he
will surely be ovelthrown unless he
is alo't, and is persistently deter
mined. He who feels that he is in no
danger of being overcome by a love
of drink, if he is not total abstainer,
is by his very confidence in peculiar
peril.

1T DIDN'T WORK.
An Attempt OF n Con. Man on n U. s.
Marshal.

The confidence man is so often success
full that it is refreshing to hear that he oc-
casionally gets left. Such was the case at
the Ryan yesterday, when the fellows
tackled the wrong man. One of the visitors
to the carnival is Henry Marshall of Mil
waukee, who has been deputy United
States marshal there for a number Of years.
He is an old hand in dealing with criminals
and has arrested many of them under both
Republican and Democratic rule. Why he
should be selected by confidence men as
game can only be explained by the fact
that he was unknown. Quite naturally he
got into conversation with stranger in the
rotunda yesterday and after a time the
stranger asked him where his address was.
Not for a moment off his guard he res
ponded Rochester. New York" After
some further conversation the stranger
politely asked his name and was told that it
was Thompson. The conversation soon
ceased and a short time afterwards Mr..
Marshall was accosued by an entire stranger
with ''How do you do, Mr.. Thompson.
When did you leave Rochester,"
Il guess you are mistaken" replied Mr..
Thompson.
'Why, isn't your name Thompson and
aren't you from Rochester ?" asked the
stranger.
THAT is neither my name nor address, y
replied the other. My name is Marshall OF
Milwaukee, and Eve arrested more men
than you ever worked. l am United
States marshall And considerably con-
fused the confidence man got out Of the
way.

Lorillard,. New Purchase.

Bonita, Mr.. Lorillard's recent purchase,
is mare nodded in the speed lines, and
presenting that perfect balance of conform
alton that goes to make up the pure-gaited
and fast trotter. About the only objection
the hypercritical could make 70 her IS her
size, but where there is speed. and the VIII
and the muscular power to back it up, size
becomes a secondary consideration. As
high types of the trotIer, the turf has
never seen better specimens than Goldsmith
Maid, Harry Wilkes. and Jay Eye See, all
standing less than 151z hands Bonita,
like Jay Eye See, has the sloping Group,
approaching the pacing formation OF the
propelling parts. This gives great length
from nip 70 hook, characteristic OF the
long and open strider. We have observed
this popularity in all horse of great speed
and doubt whether pure gait and the abil'
ity to 90 fast can be secured without it,
Bonita never belied her conformation. She
trOtted as a twO-year-old in 2,241z, and
bettered her record by tve and three-quar-
ter seconds two years later. That was
three years ago, on the soil of Kentucky.
She has by no means receded in promise.
and with mate that could gait and speed
with her, Mr.. LoTillard would own one OF
the best pairs in the country.-Spirit OF the
| Times
