A soclal Glass.

ga Social Glass at the opera house
last night did not draw as large hou Sc
as it should have done, or as it was ex-
pected to do. One reason of this, we
think, was the fact that admission was
placed at 75 cents for reserved seats,
while if it had been 80 cents the house
would have been pretty well flied. ga
Social Glass;" as its name implies, is a
temperance play, calculated to show the
danger that lies in the wine cup. The
play was well put on, but the curtain
did not go up until 20 minutes to 8
O'Clock, and as the play is in five acts,
and the curtain was down a long time
between them, it was after IL O'Clock
before it was concluded.
There is some genuine talent in the
Moro Dramatic Club, talent the play
was not well calculated to bring out,
owing to its lachrymose character.
Mr.. Walter n. Moore as "Charles
Thornly," took the part well, especially
in the first act, which was the only one,
by the way, that gave him much chance
to show what was in him. The drink
ing scene, winding up with his intoxica-
ton, was well done, and his fall over
come by liquor and drugs, was some-
thing that Menken herself could not
equal. 1t was natural and realistic.
Clyde Williams as Howard Hadley,' p
and Geo. N. Bolton as ''Dr. Slater, -
were well taken, though there was not
much in either part. J. b. Hosford as
the barkeeper, Farley" sustained the
character we'll, and in the last scene in
which he appeared did some very realis-
tic acting. VIM. Holder as the schem-
ing villain lawyer, "Hollis," probably
made good one, but we never could dc
the villain in play justice, because we
always feel like falling on him. Mr.. G.
E. Brown as "Bob Brittle. the only
light character of a rather lugubrious
play, made friends with the audience in
less than minute after the curtain
raised, and indeed he became the cen.
tral figure His manner on the stage il
easy and natural, and there is no doubt
but that he possesses marked talent
for that kind of work The ladies had
hard time of if, as both "Mrs. Thornly'
(Mrs. w. H. Moore. and eMrs. Farley
(Mrs. R. L. CampbelI) had very difficult
roles to play, though both made the
most of them. Mrs. j. B. Hosford a:
''Nettle Nettleby'' assisted "Bob Brit.
tle'' in giving a lighter coloring to ths
play.
Taken all in all the play was success
and those who attended got the full
worth of their money.

Simple Process of Extracting Gold From
Ore which saves Millions.
From the Boston Journal Of Commerce.
1t is not generally known. even in Cali
fornia. that millions of dollars are annu-
ally taken from the rude heaps Of base
looking quartz by the flowing of water
over huge piles of broken rocks that con-
tain the precious metal. The process of
robbing the earth of its gold has now
been reduced to such a fine point that
the gentle flow of water over the ore
CLEANS II of its golden treausres, and this
works well in cases where the old chic
ride and other methods are not so useful.
The water used by miners in bringing
gold from piles of mineral-bearing quartz
is charged with a simple chemical, which
has the potency to dissolve gold and hold
IL in solution. The sparkling liquid, which
flows over hundreds of tons Of quartz,
trickles through the mines and seeks its
level, laden with gold. is charged with a
deadly poison, cyanide of potassium, a
rrug which ferrets out the minutest par
ticles of the yellowish metal and dis
solves them and brings the precious bur-
den to the watts for conversion into re-
fined gold again.
The cyanide process is as noiseless and
unerring as the laws of gravitation. The
method is based on the fact that even a
very weak solution of cyanide of potas-
stun dissolves gold or silver. forming. re-
spectively, auro-potassic cyanide and ar
gento-potassic cy anide. The solution is
separated frcm the solid material and the
gold and silver are precipitated In metal
lie form. During the last FIVE years the
process shas been introduced into almost
every gold field in California and else
where, and more than $40. 00O. 900 has been
recovered by the gentle flow of the wa
tiers charged with the magical chemical.
Precipitation is effected by the use of
fine pieces of zinc. so arranged that when
the rich waters flow over them the fine
gold clusters In rich deposits over the
zinc, for which IL has an affinity. The
gold deposits itself in the form of fine
dust on the plates of zinc

From the Chicago Chronicle.
A hobby OF Birmingham undertake

on exhibition in his establishment the
corpses, or rather mummies, of Lee
Harris and Abe Mitchell (colored), who
were hanged in Birmingham on June z
for murder. The body of Bill Scroggins

to mummy state by Mr.. Miller. is now
one of the curiosities at the Atlanta
Exposition, after having made the cir
cult of the Southern states.
Mr. Miller bought the bodies a short
time before their execution for a nom

and a lot of cigars and eatables during
the week before hanging was the price
paid. The treatment by which they

very simple, and can be successfully
applied by any undertaken who under

made into one of the large veins at the
neck or in the arm or leg and a gallon
of the embalming fluid in use by all
undertakers is inserted. The fiued per-

THE OHTINGALE'S SONG.


friDut Q IN Every Ian Suage.
December Century.
Hark! From the depths of the strag-
Cling thicket which skirts the wood
there comes now a sound in which
there is something curiously weird
when heard for the first time and from
distance. 1t is a bird singing in the
Right. Clear. soft and distinct, the
notes rise and fall in the silence. 1t is
the nightingale; this is a favorite
haunt of the birds. 1t is surprising
how far the sound travels; even a quar-
ter of a mile has been traversed in its
direction. IL is still a considerable dis
lance off. Similar sounds come now
from the copses above, but the birds
have each appropriated a situation
solitary they sit without changing po-
sition each in continuous song through
out the night. 1t is the male bird which
thus sings to the female as she sits on
the nest.
1t is only few steps from the thick
ct at last, and the songster cannot be
more than 20 yards off. You do not
wonder now at the estimate of the ex-
traordinary quality of the birds song,
nor that II should have stirred the
tongues of men of strojphes in many
languages. Full, rich and liquid, the
notes fall with a strange loudness into
the still night. Yet IL is not so much
the form of the song itself, which is re-
markable. as the sweet passion with
which II seems to thrill Sweet, sweet,
sw-e-e-t-lower and tenderer the long
drawn-out notes come. the last of the
series prolonged till the air vibrates as
IL wire had been struck, and the soli-
tary singer seems almost to choke with
the overmastering intensity of feeling
in the final effort.
The stars shine through the feathery
branches of the silver birches as you
listen; the hoarse bay of the watch
dog still comes at intervals on the
breeze; far down the valley burns the
red eye Of the railway signal: in the
distance a coal train is slowly painting
southwark. pillar of fire seeming to
precede IL when the white light from
the engine fire sines upon the steam.
but the bird still sings on and on. 1t
is lost In a world to which you have no
key; It has not changed its position
or ceased its song since sunset, and II
will be singing still with the dawn.
Strange infinity of naturei Thus must
its kind have sung here while the
name of England was yet unfashioned
on mems lips. and IL was still a path
less woods to the Northern Thames
Thus do the birds sing still on the
fringe of modern Babylon oblivious and
indifferent to all that men consider the
vast import of the seething life be-
yond.
