American JeweIr, and siIverware for the
 Paris Exposition

A display of jcwelry and sivsrware made fer the Paris exposition has been on exhibition at Tiffany's, New York. The total value of the exhibit, it is said, will reach upwards of Sl 900, 900. The exhibit is distinctly American in its character. The work was all done at Titfanys establishment ia Unien Square. The decorations are mostly taken from Indian designs, especially those of the Chilkats, lnuits, Huias, Sioux and Nsyalees. The pearls arc from Ohio, Tennessee and Texas, and were found in fresh water musgels. Mounted with these are garnsts from Arlzena and New Mexico, sapphire8 from Montana, and other stones in in. exhaustibe variety. The jswelry ex. hibited includes nearly 200 pieces. The silverwars, as well as the jswelry, is decorated with designs suggested by works eff the North American Indians. The conventional designs have been thrown aside entirely for these quaint but artistic decorations One striking piece IS large silver urn, with silver buffalo heads for feet and horns for haniles.

There IS shght difference between the Christianity of to-day and the original article promulgated by Christ himself. Christ was plainly dressed, had not where to lay his head.

Ya aristocratie divine new draws thousands yearly and goes where be gets the best pay.

It is undsub btsdly true that 8 care fully nursed scheme exhists Tn Ssuth- ern New Mexico to organize new state to be called Sierra, and 10 be composed of some of the counties of southwestern New Mexico and two oi the eastern counties of Arizona. The project IS not yet formidable and will not become so, but It will probably get bethersome more or less ln the course of time. Seme eff the most in. tellisent, wealthy and aggressive men Tn the southern part of the Territory have taken the matter in hand with great earnestnass, and they seem to feel sure of success. The idea is chi merical. New Mexico will never be dismembered Tn our day Still, it is well enough for cur brethsren down that way to have something to talk about. Las Vegas Optic.

Edward Atkinson, the economist. is of opinion that 90 per cent, or nine cut of ten of our people, spend nearly all they earn. There Is, comparative ly, but little saved for the rainy day. Out of the other 10 per cent, some save sufficient to protect themselves against want, and the remainder ac- quire independence. There is an ab- surd idea abroad that expenditure, and lavish expenditure toe, is good for trade, and that it IS mean or shabby to save. The increase ef population, competition, and expense of living must very soon break this delusion, if increasing information does not. Sc long as money is deposited in savings banks or sound building societies or approved legitimate securities, there can bs no eramping to trade by saving, the money being in useful circulation all the time.-The Rand McNally Bankers Monthly.

Tue French Copper syaaieatc.s Operation.
[Engineerina < Mining Journal. l

Engineering X Mining Journal
 The average price of Lake copper al New York in 1885, was llI cents per pound; in 1886 it was 1 cents; in 1887, H. cents and in 1888 l6a cents, counting the Syndicate prices to man utacturers and not the brokers prices in arriving at this average. Some copper was sold above 17 cents. Though the price of casting brands was lever than this the advance was as great as on Lake copper.
 It Is true that the prlces in 1885 6 ' were quite unreuunsratiye to the pre- ducers, but l2 csnts, or even If. would have left fair margin 10 mines that could have supplied the require inents of thls country, and have sup piled the foreign market with all it would have taken.
 We may, therefore, assume the aver age increase in price, due to the oper. auens of the Syndicate, over a price that conla easily have been main tained without any combination or Syndicate, to havo been about five cents per pound. This on the produc- tion Tn 1888 and the stock on hand January lst, 1888, (lsss the stock in process et manufaeture) may be count cd as about 250,000,000 pounds, whicb, at hvo cents pounds, would give the grsss amount, l2,500,000 by which the value of our copper production and stock was increased by the Synai- cate over norp'al figure. Of this amount the copper producers received about 3 cents pound or, say 5000 GOO.
 The consumption of copper Tn this country in 1888 was about l20,000,000 pounds, on which the consumers paid tho excess of five cents a pound abcve what may be considered fair cost, CT they paid S6,00o, 900 as their contribu- ton ts the Syndicate The Syndicate contributed about S2,000,000 to the profits the producers made over what they would have received in selling at the normal figure of l2 cents for Lake, and say Il cents for casting brands, and it furnished them market for their entlrs product.
 The net result of the years opera tions of the French Syndicate, so far as concerns our copper industry, has been to give eur producers magnifi cent abnormal profit, which came chiefly cut of the pockets of cur own consumers, and to enable them to un- lead their entire product on the French Syndicate. A great impetus has been given to the opening of new mines and the development of old, and vast amount of money has changed hands in speculating or gambling in copper mining stocks, We have also new an enormous stock in Europe, which will keep the market demoralizea probably for some years.

It is conceded that his naturalization here exsmpts him from the compul- ssry military service which IS the curse of his native land, and, if no other charge can be proved against hlm, hs is promised a speedy release The point is of great importance to citi- zens of European birth, and the final outcome of the case will be awaited with much interest.
