Mime. Darnet Discovered China Clay In
France While Washing.
The history of French porcelain, as
it is called in France, and china. as ID
is known in the United States. is yery
interesting. The finding of the kaolin
or china clay is due to a woman. She
was the wife OF country doctor, NJ,
Darnet by name, living in very moder-
ate circumstances in the little town of
st. Yrleix, Department of Haute vi
enne, France. Nine. Darnet, accord
ing to French custom, took some
clothes that she intended to wash down
to the bank of little stream. The
earth where she placed the garments
was very white, but recent rains had
made the white chalky substance quite
soft. She found, in washing the gar
ments next the ground, that some of
the earth adhered to the clothes, and
IN washing it off she found that it was
almost as good as soap and greatly
tacilitated the removal of all kinds of
DIRT. Overjoyed with her discovery,
she hastened to inform her husband
That she had found soap mine. The
doctor was very good chemist. and
after careful analysis of the earth
pronounced the one word that France
was longing to hear-kaolin. He
straightway charged his wife to guard
her secret and sought to buy the land.
But the discovery leaked out and real
estate rose enormously in that vicinity.
and it is doubtful whether Nine. Dar-
net was rewarded for her wonderful
find.
This event occurred somewhere
about the year 1760, about the same
time the royal porcelain factory was
removed from st. Cloud to Iivres,
where 1t has since remained, and the
st. Yrieix kaolin took the place of the
clay brought from China, England
and elsewhere. China factories now
began to be established at Paris,
Limoges and Bordeaux. Among the
different manufacturers was Jean
Pouyat, who first began at Paris, but
finding the transport of clay very costly
water communication was impos-
sible and the railroads were unknown
he removed his factory to Limoges,
city not far from the mine, and es-
tablished there a factory which has
stood for more than century and q
quarter. Monarchies, revolutions, die
tatorshlps, communes, empires, and
republics have come and gone, but
through all of the political vicissitudes
experienced by the country the house
of Pouyat has stood, and still stands,
a wonder among the landmarks in the
history not only of china manufacture
but of France herself. The head of
this house to-day is NJ Emile Pouyat,
a venerable, dignified type of the old
school gentry, now in his Saith year.
He distinctly recalls the first Napoleon
and can entertain his guests by the
hour relating facts and incidents of an
age that has long been considered his
toric. The first china exported from
France to the United States is believed
to have come from this house, and
specimens now are very rare and are
highly valued by connoisseurs.

with the look "you are woman, and I
respect you," but "you are woman,
hence my prey" He usually stations
himself on corner or in front of some
building, and there he ogles, and bobs,
and leers, often making so bold as to fol-
low. 1t never occurs to this relic of the
past that no girl can but despise him. If
she holds up her head she is sure to en-
counter one of these perennial studies.
and the only thing for her to do is to keep
her eyes cast down until the fathers

shot, and rid this city of these insults

WHEN Deville showed the first alu-
minium at Paris, in 1855, the charge
for the new metal was $16 an ounce,
but in 1857 the price was reduced to
50 an ounce. In 1884 it had been fur
ther cheapened. SO that the metal for
the tip of the Washington monument
was furnished for $15 pound. In 1887
the cost had fallen to SO pound, and
at the close of 1889 it was only about
81 pound. The annual production
previous to 1887 did not exceed five
tons, but large quantities are now being
turned out by two distinct processes.

grew more and more intact it was next
TO impossible to get any of the drug
Through the lines. The demand be-
came so great that orders were sent
but to the different commands to Sc
lect from among their number few
men of nerve, ingenuity, and patriot
ism to the Southern cause who could
be depended upon under the most crit
ical circumstances. These men were
to be instructed in the hazardous du-
ties of smuggling quinine, and were to
have the sanction of the Confederate
Government, and the protection, as far
as it could go, of the Confederate
army. Theyswere to go into the Union
lines as refugees, or in any way deemed
most advisable by them, and werel to
purchase large quantities of the drug,
and use every means possible to get it
through.
Among the men selected for this
hazardous duty was a young student
OF medicine, who has since that time
become prominent as one of the best
physicians of the country.
DIR. James Guthrie was born in Poca-
hontas County, Virginia, now West
Virginia, and when the war broke out
enlisted in the Confederate army, final
ly in 1862 becoming attached as an
assistant surgeon to General Kirby
Smiths army. When the order of the
War Department reached General
Smiths department one of the first
men selected for the hazardous duty
was young Guthrie, then a mere boy of
twenty or thereabouts. He willingly
accepted the dangerous commission,
and set out for st. Louis, Mo-, with
credentials hidden about his person.
When he reached st. Louis he slowed
away in safe place several thousand
dollars in gold with which he had been
provided by the Confederate Govern
ment to purchase the drug. Days were
spent about the hospitals by the young
student and acquaintances made with
the officials, until after the lapse of a
few weeks he became to all intents and
appearance regular assistant of the
surgeons.
No suspicion of the character of his
business was ever created, and it was
not long before young Guthrie was
able to go about the city purchasing
medicines and drugs ostensibly for use
at the hospitals where so many Union
soldiers lay wounded and sick. Day
after day the young man purchased, first
here and then there, at different drug

About fifteen or twenty OF the delegates
to Washing started on the train which

were Gov. Prince, Judge Axtell, Auditor

went a day in advance to arrange matters
ut Kansas City. About dozen delegates
had gone on before, and number are
still to 70. The unfortunate difficulty as
to transportation has caused delay in
some cases. This was caused Ivy no fault
OF the governor or authorities here. The
matter OF transpOrtat N VAS entirely in
The hands OF Mr.. Manzanares, who is Il
director of the railroad as we'll as presi-
dent of the bureau of immigration. 1t
VAS understood Il fortnight ago that the
railroad company would furnish trans
portation for delegates 10 Chicago and re-
turn, each delegate paying his own Way
beyond there. a week ago Mr.. Manza-
mares left Las Vegas for Colorado and
aos, and on learning this the governor
telegraphed to Embudo that he was very
anxious as to the arrangements and would
he glad to meet him at any convenient
place. Mr.. Manzanares answered OH
tuesday, the 10th: You can obtain all
transportation you need. Apply to Chas.

delegates who had accepted were sent to
Mr.. Dyer, all appearing 10 be right but
on Wednesday afternoon dispatch was
received from him that he had but ten
passes. AS Mr.. Manzanares was ont of

graphing vigorously to Mr.. Dyer, Presi-

THREE THOUSAND VOLUMES.
Hon L. Il. Catron Purchases Much
Treasured Library i'll the City
OF Mexico.

Some time during February last Hon
7. B. Catron began negotiating for the
purchase OF an immense library in the
City OF Mexico, and having succeeded
recently in closing the trade. has now in
| his possession one of The largest and most
costly collection OF books in this portion
Of the country.
This library, consisting OF about 5000
volumes, was collected and owned bv the
Rev. Father Augustine Fischer, once pri-
vate secretary to Emperor Macmillan.
Father Fischer doubtlessly stood at the
head of all photographers with respect to
Spanish Amerlcan, and particularly in the
branch of Mexi al literature. In the
course OF his forty years residence in
Mexico he devoted great deal of time to
study ing, sitting and collecting every
thing that could be obtained in the way
of prints and manuscripts relative to and
coming from our sister republic. During
that period he formed four large libraries,
the last OF which is now in Mr.. Catron's
possession. The other three have long
since been sold and scattered over the
country, and the one at Santa Fe is the
only complete Fischer library in exist
ence i'll the world. The literary treasures
in this vast collection of books
are valuable beyond q price, and few IL
brarles will equal it in the matter of an
Gent and modern Spanish law.
In making this purchase Mr.. Catron
made sacrifice, but III so doing he is en-
titled to the highest credit for the perspi-
cacily and energy displayed by him in
securing the much-coveted treasure, one
that has been sought after by men of
nearly all nations. Santa Fe and Mr..
Catron may well be proud OF having
one Of the leading Libraries in the United
States

MINING MATTERS.


The change in the management OF the
Santa Fe Copper company's business at
San Pedro resulted in closing down the
works for the present, but it is generally
believed that this step was made in order
to make some new improvements. 1t ia
stated that on Manager Hyam's arrival
at the camp he took in the surroundings
and remarked that some radical changes
could be made, and it is altogether likely
that from producing plant the prop
erty of the Copper company is to be con-
verted into one of practical development
and improvement. Should this be the
correct solution, 1t will result in operating
this property on a much more extended
scale and in the employment OF q much
larger force of men.
Mr.. Hyams has not yet made known
his Intentions as to the course he will pur-
sue, but as he Is Il practical man there is
little doubt but that he will accomplish
some very effective work in the near
future.
AT Cerrillos an important meeting OF
the directors of the Llncoln-LuCky was
held. All the owners were present, and
the lease of Mr.. HUM having expired,
1t was agreed that the company should as
sumo control OF the property on its own
responsibility. TO this end J. Il. Allyn,
late manager of the Cash Entry during
Mr.. Huhn's absence in England, was
