The mining savants in the vicinity OF
Laramie. Wyo., were recently puzzled
over the finding of a rare aud curious
mineral. The parties who took it out
Of the ground sent specimens Of the
rock TO an expert assayer and metallurg-
list at Laramie The assayer found both
gold and silver, and a great deal of an
other metal, which acids refused to
affect. 1t was a dark red, mysterious
metal, which defied his attempts to dis
cover what it was. He sent ONE Of the
quartz to Prof. Burlingame in Denver,
who agreed that the red portion of the
rock was some rare and probably yalua-
bic mineral. but could not tell what it
was. Specimens were then forwarded
to Prof. Stedfeldt, the celebrated metal
Iurglst, and mining engineer of New
York, who has sent in his report that
the red metal is rubidium, an extreme
ly rare and very valuable metal. 1t is
quoted at $l.lS per grain, or $5G6 per
ounce. This would make its value
5000 per pound, or more than fifteen
times the value of gold. Just what it is
good for is not stated, nor whether it is
difficult or easy to separate it from the
rock and other mills with which it is
mixed. The discovery of the mine is
regarded as a big thing, even in the
mining country in which it is located,
as the new metal is said to be worth
more than any other previously fosnd
in the rocky mountain region.-Rocky

Henry Virgins On Trial.

The negro boy who shot and killed Mr..
Porter, at Orange Point, last year, was
put on trial before the circuit court yes
terday morning, a sufficient number Of
jurrymen having been obtained from, the
large number summoned. A number OF
witnesses were examined yesterday, in
GLIDING the prisoners farther. and an ef-
fort is being made to prove the boys
iIresponsibility on account Of weak
mind. Henry Virgins, the prisoner,
sits quietly in his chair. and listens with
interest to everything that is said either
by the witnesses or attorneys. The trial
will occupy the court Monday and prob.
ably Tuesday.
No other business Of importance was
transacted before the court yesterday.

George Washington Again.

1t is strange chat the fair name OF
George Washington could not have been
left in its serenity and unsullied
splendot. A colored individual answer
ing to that name was ariaigned yester-
day in the circuit court for carrying con.
cealed weapons and attempting to kill.
Like tho original George this probably
unworthy namesake could not tell a
lie--as the proof against him was of the
wost convincing kind--so when the
question of guilty or not gully was put,
George said he had done it with his little
pistol. His attorney in an appeal to the
court, made in those round and eloquent
sentences that are inclined to conjure
up the tenderer mercies ct the hardest.

baby had Just died, and, that to destroy

dustrious turn, kept up the strife until he
succeeded in getting his allowance into
two pieces. Then he placed it in an en-
velope. carried it up to his room, and in
a few minutes returned to tho parlor and
invited some friends up to sec him.
Upon entering it was found that he had
used the steak for hinges, and his door
swung to and fro with nicely: Tho
