THE BLACK. ART.
Insists That He Can Change Silve
 Into the Yellow Metal.

Denver Republican: Our attention waa recently drawn to the article in the New York Journal, in which Dr. Stephen H. Emmens of New York, claimed to have discovered a way to change silver into gold. While the de. scription of the discovery naturally con. tsined nothing definite as to the means employed, the phraseology was never theless far from being thrashy or sensa- tional, and was, in fact, quite in line with modern scientific knowledge. In order to satisfy ourselves ae to the genuineness of the article attributed to such a well known scientific source, we addressed the following communication to Dr. Emmens:
 ''Dr. Stephen Fl. Emmens, No. Broad way, New York City:
 | Dear Sir-We have read the recent article in the New York Journal where in it is stated that you have succeeded in changing silver into gold. We-Are naturally greatly interested in the gu b. ject and the remarka ble results claimed which, in the light of modern science, we feel are entirely within the bounds of reason. The periodic law and other i considerations have long led chemists I to anticipate some such results as are now claimed. We nevertheless take the

izona for eighteen years. He came to the territory in '7S from San Diego and for a long time was in the employ of the government as military operator. He subsequently, was clerk of the board of supervisors of Graham county and also served two terms as probate judge of the same county. He was for some years editor of the Clifton Clarion. At the time of his death he was leading merchant of Solomon ville where he has resided for the past five years.
 He was most prominent in politics, being a leading Democrat in that sec tion of Arizona. By his death Arizona loses one of it's best citizens and to Solomonville especially will the loss be felt, for there he was reckoned as a warm hearted, whole-souled gentle man.

Beranger's Terse and Clever Character
 ization of Victor Hugo.
 A terse and clever characterization was that by which Beranger, the poet, summed up Victor Hugos relation to the great republican spirit, of France. Hugo, although it is said that he was not a arepublican at the very beginning of his career, became most enthusiastic and outspoken one. He represented the pie torial, dramatic side of popular feeling and became so picturesque a figure in French politics that he could not have failed to serve as a popular idol.
 Beranger, who was a republican of the simplest type, notwithstanding his share in establishing Louis Philippe on the throne, denied the poets attitude in one line.
 One day, says the Contemporary Re view, shortly after the revolution which overtoppled that throne, an acquaint- ance of Beranger met him coming out of the Palais-Bourbon. q shall feel obliged" said the poet, if you will see me home, for I do not feel at all we'll. Those violent scenes inside there are not to my taste. 1 am not at all well" he continued, with a wistful smile; q have been accused of having held the plank over which Louis Philippe went to the Tuileries. I wish I could be the bridge across the Channel on which he would return. Certainly would have liked a republic, but not such as we are having ill there.''
 He pointed to the home of the Con- stituent assembly. 'You ought to be , pleased" said his friend. Victor Hugo is in the same regiment with you" "Victor Hugo is not in the regiment" :" was the quiet reply. 'He is in the band" :"
