An Onyx Vein i'm the Ozarks.

Large deposits of onyx have been
found in the Ozark mountains, only a
short distance from st. Louis. The
only onyx in the market has hitherto
come from Puebla, Mexico, so the dis
covery of this new vein is of consider
able commercial Importance. Onyx
is very valuable, selling for from
three dollars to fifteen dollars per
cubic foot, the buyer taking the risk
of possible flaws below the surface.
In mining it no powder can be used, so
holes are drilled in rows and wooden
plugs inserted. These are then caused
to swell by soaking in warm water, and
a solid mass of the desired size is thus
separated without danger. The ONYX
is reached through a wide mouthed
cave in the mountain side, so it can be
marketed at very slight expense. New

Practical Joking I'm En.land.

Americans do not understand prac-
tical joking In the same sense that it
is understood in England Practical
jokers who tried their pranks in the
United States would probably receive
a reception that might astonish them.
In England practical joking seems to
be the summum bonm of many mems
lives.
At a country house in England there
is certain to be a good deal of practical
joking, particularly if there is one man
who is considered 'slow." In Kent.
not long ago, when a cricket week was
in progress, a guest had the bad luck
to incur the i'll will of the rest of the
men in the party. He declined to stay
up late in the smoking room, and re-
fused to join at game of cards One
night after he had gone to bed the
rest of the men gathered at his door,
and, finding he had retired, went in and
carried him and the bed bodily down
stairs and out of doors, where they
carefully made up his bed, with him in

in the letter from General Sherman to

afternoon late in July, 1862, while !
was in a Federal prison in Memphis,
Tenn. that friend of mine, a Miss Glib
son, who had been to call on me,
whispered. Lieutenant, you are under
sentence of death and are to be shot at
al early day Take my advice and get
away from here before they put the

on your ankles, for then you will be
totally disabled and can do nothing

soldiers. When Sherman first took
possession of Memphis he issued an
order declaring gold, medicines and
salt contrabands, and as such prohibit
ed their sale to the people. But his
orders were practically ignored and we
got anything we wanted.
For month was steadily supply

with no serious difficulty. But one
afternoon in July my good luck de-

boxes of officers swords, and was in

that danger was ahead and jumping

nearly four times as bulky as silver, and
more than seven times as bulky as gold.
Thus if silver were 81 AN ounce and
