ENGLAND'S PENSIONS.

England has never been generous
to the veterans of her numerous
wars. Her pensions are miserably
inadequate and her soldiers home
or hospitals often places OF torture
instead of abodes of comfort. One
of the periodical spasms Of reform
is passing over the country and the
sufferings of old warriors are being
freely ventilated. Stringent rules
and regulations are mostly COM
planned of. although The manner In
which the inmates of homes are
treated by the officials Is often un-
manly and indecent.
Some pathetic case is revealed
almost daily. At the kilmainham
Hospital was found sn old man
who. had lost leg before Sebas-
iapol. Ha5eyiei!ed his pension Of
90 cents a day when he became an
inmate. 1.-THE Queen" lie told an
investigating commission, "is very
kind to my wife. She sends her
ca a year because we had eight sons
in the army" This brave old fell

Grated from the "old woman" IN
his declining years. Said he plain
lively; 'Tf you can give me so
cents a day, my wife aud myself
won't trouble you any more, not
even to bury u.s." On being asked

Dan DeQuille has the following
in q letter to the Salt Lake Tri-
bane; Very little prospecting is
being done in the peighborhood OF
tho Comstock. In prospecting
distance lends enchantment to the
VIE "" No man seems to care to
prospect near his own town or camp.
In case OF any big find being made
in this vicinity at any time either
in the here or the hereafter, 1t will
be by some newcomer-some guile

our Comstockers strike out they 60

their backs upon all Nevada and
set sail for South Africa. China,
Australia, South America or India.
Not much prospecting is being
done anywhere at present by old
timers. The finds are by new
comers. 1t is the same over in
Californja. When a man has lived
in mining camp four er FIVE years
and taken a few walks in the sur.
rounding country, he thinks he
knows all about the place. He is
greatly surprised when some pill
grim comes along and makes big
find almost under his nose. The
very best prospecting ground to-
day are tbese immediately around
the old aud rich camps Of Calf

A NEW PROCESS.

The Atkins process is method
discovered about year ago for the
treatment of gold and silver ores by
electrolysis and amalgamation. A
plant Ia now IN operation at Ipswich,
England, where commercial tests
have been made showing 1t to be
practical and recovering over % per
cent Of the assay value. The plant
comprises one Is horse power ell.
giue, 5-stamp battery, 4 horse
power dynamo, electrical almagat-
or, pan and settler. The ouly
chemical necessary is solution of
COMMON salt Of ! per cent strength.
which is fed into the battery With
the ore. The electric current de
composes the salt, liberatlng chlo-
rine at the positive pole and form
ing sodium amalgam with the
quicksilver of the negative pole.
In this way gold is in a finely diyid-
ed condition and Is chlorodized and
after wards deposited in the quick
silver.
The sulphides and chlorides of
silver are decomposed by the cod
ium and hydrogen formed at the
negative pole. Tie silver Is thus
liberated in contact with the quick
silver aud amaleamated. The pro-
cess is capable Of treating aurifersus
pyriies and snlphuretted silver ores
without previous roasting. Emf

amined the method speak very
highly Of 1t, aud do not hesitate in
recommending it.

The shallowness of diplomatic

A RARE FIND.

From the Crystal Silver Lance.
The discovery made recently at
the head of Yule creek by Owen
and Smith Whipp, Frank Ssmsel
and Jack Mclean is said to be
molybdenite. This rare mineral is
said TO be worth 1886 per avoir-
dupois pound In its crude state and
the market value when concentrated
is about 1925 per pound. As the
boys have a streak OF it from 20 to
"a inches wide it appears to be an
extremely valuable find. Its sui
phide Is used for coloring In porce-
lain ware manufacture, and is
treated at Swansea, Wales. Dana's
description OF it is as follows;

He Thought She whistled.

There was ludicrous incident in one of our street cars recently. A daintily dressed gentlewoman tried to signal the conductor to stop at the next corner. She stood up In her seat, waved her parasol feebly, but made not the faintest sign of Q chirp, and consequently her attempts were failures. She was just about to give up in despair when man behind her, who had noticed her vain attempts gave vent to a whistle which rang out like fog horn. The conductor and half the passengers looked up in amazement under the i'm pression that she was the author of the unmelodious note, and as she left the car the knight of the bell punch murmured audibly:
 Well, there ain't no danger but what she won't get left" The few passengers who saw the whole performance are still laughing every time they think of the lu- dicrous scene-New York Advertiser

 WIDOW CLAuss AND THE CoAcHMAN. to. his rescue, with whom the violent coachman struggled until policeman reached the scene. Schinckly was locked up.
 Mrs Clauss' husband, Christian, only recently died, leaving her $l50, 900, be- sides which she also possessed fortune in her own right. She is 26 years old and lives in fine house, surrounded by well kept lawns and flower beds. In the rear is stable containing a number of valu- able horses, over which Schinckly until recently drew the reins whenever Mrs. Clauss went abroad.
 From the testimony in court it appears that an intimacy or understanding of some sort was arrived at between the coachman and the present widow before the time of her husbands death, in March last, just about year after Schinckly began his work as coachman.
 The intervening events are uncertain, but in December of last year MT. Clauss, who was in feeble health grew so suspi- cious of the relations between his wife and his coachman that he insisted upon the latter's discharge. Schinckly still con- r.trived to sec Mrse-Clauss, and in January of this year the pair went to Milwaukee.
 Their stories of this expedition differ di- ametrically. Schinckly says that the wo- man went under vows of affection and pledges of eternal fidelity to him, with the understanding that it was an elopement
 Mrs. Clauss gives weird explanation of the trip. Shc says that Schinckly bounded her so closely and threatened the lives of herself and husband with such dire oaths that she was completely cowed by him and made to serve his will despite herself, and that whatever intelligent views she had upon the expedition she could only see that she was protecting her life and that of her husband from tho murderous hand of her lover.
 Clauss evidently looked at matters from Schinckly's standpoint, for in February he began divorce proceedings against his wife, making Schinckly correspondent Before he could advance far in the proceed ings he began to fail rapidly in health He relented against his wife and begged from his deathbed that she might return and be reconciled to him in his last hours Escaping from her lover in Milwaukee Mrs. Clauss fled to Brooklyn, only to reach her forsaken home few hours after her husbands death.
 She says that she underwent a revulsion of feeling toward Sohinckly and deter mined to shake off his influence and defy him. He followed her directly from Mil waukee and attempted to see her. She had him forbidden the house Since that time Schinckly has maintained steady eff forts to have the widow fulfill the prom ises of marriage which he declares she made to him.
