Forty or fifty years ago the vicinity of
these islands was found to be good whaling
grounds, and was often visited by whalers
for the purpose of obtaining fresh provis-
ions. but latterly the whalers have become
scarce or have emigrsted to pastures new,
and consequently whalers abandoned the
old grounds.

HOW GOLD WAS FOUND.
By Men " no Were Kindly Burying
Dead ComrGde.

By Men Who Were Kindly Burying a
Dead Comrsde.
Gold was discovered in California in l84S
and in Colorado in 1853. The discovery was
accidental in both cases, and the fact
created the impression that mines were
''lying around loose" Adventurous drlfted
about In hope OF stumbling upon q mine"
Mr. rhayer, III his "Marvels of the New
West" mentions several instances of lucky
"stumbliug.n Three men, while looking for
gold in California, discovered the dead
body OF man who evidently had been
"prOspecting.n Poor fellow said one of
the trio. "He has passed i'll mis- checks {"
Let's give him q decent burial" said
another. "Some wife or mother will be
glad il ever she knows itn They began to
dig grave. Three feet below the surface
they discovered signs of gold. The stranger
was buried in another place, and where they
had located a grave they opened q gold
mine.
An adventurer who had drifted into
Leadvillo swoke one morning without food
or money, He went out and shot a deer,
which, in Its dying agonies, kicked up the
dirt and disclosed signs of gold. The poor
man staked out claim, aud opened one
of the most profitable mines ever worked in
Leadyflle.
dead Man Claim" the name given to
another rich mine in Leadville, was diEcov-
cred by broken down miner while dig
ging grave.
A miner died when there were several
feet of snow on the ground. His comrades
laid his body in a wbank and hired a
man for $20 to-dig grave. The grave
digger, after three days absence was found
digging a mine instead of grave. While
exoavating he had struck gold Forgetting
the corpse and his bargain he thought ouly
of the fact that be bad "strucl it rich"
But these "stumblings" are exceptions TO
the rule that mines are found by painstak-
ing, Intelligent prospectors. They spend
wearisome months in exploring mountains
and gulohes. They are mineralogists, geol-
ogists and, above all, practical explorers,
who can tell from twist" in the grain of
the rock or from the color Of a spar seam
whether "paying gold" can be mined In the
region.

GRANTS FIRST DEMAND UPON LEE
FOR his SURRENDER,

Under the Flag of Truce-CoL h.
H. Perry's Recollections of His
Part In An Important Episode.
Some New Light Cast Upon the
Passing OF the Confederacy by One
Who Participated.
From, the Washington Post
Editor Post; For several years I have
been historian of the Confederate Veterans
Association OF Fulton county, Georgia. In
such position have had the pleasure Of re-
ceiving a great many interesting reminis-
cent narratives Of events of the late civil
war. Among the many "reminiscences
which have thus come to me perhaps there
Is not one more interesting than the ac-
count of the first demand made by Gen.
Grant upon Gen. Lee for the surrender of
the confederate army in Virginia. As one
of the scenes of those eventful days Of 1865
this is frauRht with much that is pathetic
as well as heroic.
The sketch has been recently furnished to
me by a gentleman OF this state. Col II.
n. Perry, who was a gallant Georgia
volunteer" under Gen. Lee. Col. Perry was
the first confederate officer who received
the first letter Of demand of Gen. Grant
upon Gen. Lee for his surrender.
It was in a dim moonlight, and makes a
touching story. Col. Perry makes inquiry
for the participants on the federal side, and
IL perchance this may come before any of
them, let them respond to him. Like all
great events, necessarily there were some
preliminary ceremonies leading TO the sur
render, before the final historic scene at the
apple tree at Appomattox.
This scene of the first demand would be q
good subject for an artist-the beginning of
the end. A forlorn confederate staff officer
going out in front of the lines to meet an
elated federal staff officer, 10 receive the
first demand for the surrender of a worn
and weary army, desolate and destitute, but
with proud and brave bearing as soldiers,
with heroic courage, with their honor I'M
blemished, with their devotion stin true and
steadtast. These same confederate soldiers
can still with pride boast Of their valor as
true Americans.
Col. n. II. Perry is now living In
Wsynes boro, Ga. His letter has been ex-
Rmined by Capt. James w. English, who is
mentioned, and he says the account Of the
scene is substantially correct as be remem-
bers 1t. Let us present the letter of Col
Perry as part Of the history Of the closing
Of the war. Very truly yours,

MONROE FOR %PooRNIAN.

The Congressional situation VI ovcr tho
River Looks very Favorable for Him.
At mass meeting Of Republicans OF
Monroe county held at Woodsield Sat.
urday, the fourteen delegates OF that
county TO the Congressional convention
were instructed to support Col. Poor
man. This gives him at least "A votes
on the first ballot, within IS votes OF
the nomination, provided, always, that
al! the Is Nichols delegates in his own
county support him. The Colonel is
quite confident that he will receive tho
nomination, and it looks very much as
II he ought to, but there is some very
strong opposition to him in Belmont
county, and instead of appeasing the
wrath Of these individuals, the Colonel
is full Of fight and aggravates the oppo-
sltlon to him, or at least a part OF it.
The effect OF this will be to lose part'of
Inc Belmont county support should
there DO more than one ballot,
but 1t is 4 reasonable view OF. the situa-
ton as it now stands, to think that he
Will be nominated on tho first ballot.
That is, all the counties will vote for
Their respective candidates, but before
the result is announced it will be seen
that Colonel Poorman is within ten or
thirteen votes OF the nomination, and it
Is n known fact that neither Jefferson
nor Carroll county is warmly attached
10 tho local candidate, and it will be a
strange political convention if there are
not more than ten or thirteen delegates
VINO will desire to place the candidate
Tor Congress under obligations to them
ior his nomination, and to announce
ms change from Richards or Mccoy to
roorman will do this efTectually and
VIII make the nomination on tho first
ballot. This is the idea Of the best
political judgment that can be obtained.
