MEXICAN GOLD DEPo ITS.
What 5ceptical Mining Experts Found
In the Mountains

Cry OF MExIco. Jan. 10.
Although it has always been known that

small but regular production of the yellow
metal. the stories that row come from that
Stat" regarding the great gold discovery are
exciting much attention in mining circles

have beer investigating for some time the
resources of the region shere gold was sus-
pected To exist, aud their labors have. ac-
cording to reports made by American min
ers, resulted in the discovery of enough
gold-beariug quartz to keep an army of min
ers busy for a century TO come. The ore
exists, it is averred, in such quantities as
to make up large part of several noun
tains, and 1t crops out on the cliffs and in the
csnons in such a manner TO convince eI-
pcrienced miners that this is the biggest gold
field ever struck. The country in which
this find has been made is well waterel and
contains many ranches. The National rail
road runs within twelve miles of the gold
regions 1t is averred that mlniCg experts

Saturated a Neighbors Piano With OIL
and Fired it

FARMIsGros, Jan. 20.
Pennington family were at tea in the
dining room the other evening. when they
heard a strange cracking noise in the di.
recton of the parlor. Rushing at once to
that room they found their fine, costly, up
right piano in hames. Quickly subduing
the ismes, which unfortunately had been
discovered before they had gained much
headway, they found to their amazement that
the instrument had been strongly saturated

blind had been closed, 1t seemed evidently
that the perpetrator of this d .stardly deed
had enter. ID the house BY this window and in
the same manner had escaped carefully
closing the blind so that the flames might
not be quickly observed.
The neighbors were at once aroused and
much excitement ensued. Ii soon developed
hat weeks previous to this incident several
anonymous letters had passed in which
among other things the burning of this piano
bad been threatened. Sheriff Sylvester was
Immediately summoned and be gan thorough
investigation. With his usual indefatigable
energy the officer quickly worked up and
now believes he has the guilty party spotted
Although the burning of the piano was
prob ably sill that was intended, yet there
was a heavy wind prevailing that night, and
had the house burned the stores and
perhaps hotel could not have been saved,
Ii has been a long time since Pennington
has had such an exciting sensation.

Corn Pack-l888.

Tue packing of sweet corn in tin has be-
come the most prominent feature of the can

of the America Grocer it appears that the
total pack in 1883 was 3,49l ,i7i cases of
two dozen tia each. an crease over the
pack OF 1887 of $50, $50 cases. This large
gain Is uuc To the multiplication of canning
houses in the leading corn growing States;

was IA J6a eases less than were packed in
1887, the shrinkage being due to killing
fro.ts early in September.
Prices OF canned corn show great varia-
ton, ranging from so cents per dozen for
inferior qualities to 75a90 cents for good
corn and from 81 10 to 81 3j for extra quail
ity. The present supply IS far abovesihe an
nual requirements of the country, but the
low price of the article is causing great in
crease in the consumption, aud sending 1t
into thousands of places where it has not
formerly been an article of diet in the econ
omy of the household. As one remedy for
checking the tendency TO over production

A MODERN ROMAN
Who Stands Guard Over the Presiden

WAsHINGroN. Jan. 10.
The Star says There vas somethii z like
a ro~ in the Senate lobby at the last eyecu-
tive session. There is a sturdy looking,
broad shouldered man who has been standing
newt one of the doors for several days. He
/. extremely patient and waits there as stol
idly and uncomplaining as a clsinant,
When the Senate went into executive session
the messengers and employees went through
the lobby like cyclone, sweeping before
them ever one not permitted to remain about
the Senate during Il secret session. The
storm ragged about the sturdy. silent man,
but he would not bulge. He defied the
cycloue, fled the Senate.
There was great grow ling and it looked
as though thore would have to be an appeal
TO force. The man demanded that the pres
ident of the Senate should decide the mat
ter. The appeal wa. carried to Mr.. ingalls,,
and he decided to let the man stay. Then
the secret was out. This man wa detailed
by the pres ident of the Senate to guard the
presidential election certificates. Like a
Roman sentinel he remained at his post
This affair, of course, betrayed the location
of the hiding place of the certificates. The
man still stands there IN the lobby. and no
one now attempts to molest him.
