capital on April IS. On the afternoon of
the 18th he received a dispatch from Port

England. Stanton was for arresting the

the White House to see the president about

his large hands.

HOW SLATE is MINED.
The Wonderful Skill of the WOrklnen WHO
Cut 1t Up.

The manner in which slate is mined
and cut up for purposes to which 1t is
applied is a process that IS known to
only a few people III this country, its
principal sources being in upper New
England and eastern Pennsylvania. 1t
is not taken out of shafts, bat it is quar-
ried out Of big holes III the earth. Some
time ago. when the writer vas at Ban
COR. Pa, he was invited to 80 down
into one of these quarrlcS, about .
feet deep and overland on a rope, but
he declined the invitation, as [ think
most inexperienced persons would do.
The slate is blasted Out in huge blocks
and is hOisted out by steam and turned
over to the men who know how to re-
Guce it to the proper size. Huge blocks
of it are taken in hand by these work
men. who cut a notch into one end Of
each piece. Then they take a chisel and
a mallet, and they are so sklllfuI IN d.
recting their blows that they can split
the blocks of slate in almost any way
they please. If You watch the slab on
which one Of them is working, you will
| see a little hair line running through 1t.
and presently the pIOCh VIII IdIA oPD1'

men will make this line 60 straight
through the middle. or to either corner

he does it, but he invariably accom-
plishes what he sets out to do.
The smaller pieces thus produced are
taken in hand By another set OF men
who split them up into sheets OF the
proper thickness for roofing slate. ms
they do with a long bladed instrument
! about the shape Of a putty knife, but
many times larger, and If you sa"
them do it you would marvel how they
: got the sheets only one inch thick ana
split it 80 times. The usual numoer OF
divisions IS IS. These sheets are taken
} and cut into squares by machinery.
