Election Returns Sixty Years Ago

Just sixty years ago Jackson's first election took place, and find by refer ence to Niles Register that the details were uncertain so late as the 24th of the following December. This fact is given in the following paragraph:
 "A letter from a member of the com nittee of Pittsburg, dated Dec. 24, to a friend says that reply has just been re- ceived from Gen. Jackson. He states that it would give him great pleasure to accept our invitation, but he thought any arrangement relative to it should be deferred until the result of the election was perfectly ascertained. Then if the circumstances permitted he would be happy to become the guest of our city"
 The above paragraph appeared in Niles Register of Jan. 10, 1899, more than two months after the election. The result, however, had been conjectrred as early as the 22d of November, and The Register of that date says: Not heard from-Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, Missis- sippi, Illinois and Missouri, all of which but Rhode Island and Louisiana are con- ceded to Jackson, so that he will be elected by very large majority. We shall at some future period present full tabular statement showing all the votes in the several states. ."-New York Cor. TrOy Times

A New Liquid for Concentrating Ore.

According to the Denver Republi- can fluid has been manufactured of a specific gravity four times that of water, and that will not blend or in- termingle with water. Of course such liquid, if it can be cheaply concocted, will be a valuable appliance in ore dressing and separa ton. "Col. A. w. Harris, prominent mining man of New Mexico," says the Republican, recently exhibited in Denver bottle containing the liquid together with water, fragments of quartz and min erals. The bottle could be violently agitated, and in moment the fluid would separate from the water, the mineral sink to the bottom, and the quartz float on the fluid, between it and the water, which collected on top. Col. Harris stated that the discoverer of the liquid asserted that he could make it of any desired quantity, and that 1t could be made at about fifteen cents per pound, the cost varying in proportion to the specific gravity, and being about p per cent. of the cost of quicksilver. Should the discovery work as well in practice as it does in a small way, and the loss of the fluid not prove too great, 1t would seem that the question Of economic ore con centration had been solved, and con centrating belts, buddles and jigs will soon be offered for sale at less than ten cents on the dollar of their original cost"

There are individuals and news papers too that may always be found arranging themselves on the retro grade side of every question concern ing moral, social, political or religious improvement of whatever kind. There seems to be range of vision beyond which they fail to see or understand anything. The trouble is they imagine that what they don know is not worth knowing; that what they can't com prehend is useless to the world; that there can be nothing better than them selves morally; nothing wiser than themselves in knowledge; nothing more cultured than themselves so- cially. That kind of people and that kind of newspapers have simply reach ed their limit and are incapable of going beyond it. The plane of their vision is exceedingly circumscribed by the horizon of their own moral obli- quity or ignorance, both of which con- ditions they fail to perceive in them selves as is very natural. There are the croakers upon every effort of a 1 community to better its condition these are the dead weights which every community its obliged to carry along with it. partly as the result of its carelessness, partly as a punishment for its want of energetic blood, of en terprise, of progressiveness.- Herald.

The Texas Steer.

A week for so ago Texas steer that was to be slaughtered at New York barbecue, managed to get loose and he made it very lively for the entire neigh borhood. This is not an isolated case It frequently happens in the north that Texas steers obtain their liberty and run through the streets with frag- ments of leading citizens on their horns.
 In Texas there is no animal more docile than the Texas steer. You never heard of any ody in Texas be- ing injured by rampant steer, which Is as harmless as a wooden Indian in front of tobacco store.
 It is the bad treatment he receives on the cars that makes the Texas steer unruly. He is bounced and jolted over two or three thousand miles of rough railroad track. He is not given anything to drink, and that kind of treatment even a Texas steer despises.
 ! He (the Texas steeD is pushed beaten and sneered at as along horn, J all the way to New York When he gets there he is driven to the slaugh- ter pen and subjected to all manner oI insults. It is wonder that, frenzied and exasperated by such barbarity hearing all the time that he is an out law and never being invited to take s drink, is it a wonder, we say, that he loses patience and charges through the streets? His real object is merely to get back to Texas, where he is ap preciated. If the people get in hi; way he removes them, as he is in !; hurry. And then, the press denounce; the Texas steer as a desperadol
