AN ESSAY.

The young lady spoken of in the
following paragraph is niece of P.
II. Clark, and is well known in our
community.
Miss Blanche Clark delivered
an up-to, date Grafton on "Argen-
taurum." She said in part: "From
the earliest historoy, both profane
and sacred, all nations have used
gold and silver as legal currency.
Men have always been willing to
sacrifice their present happiness
to search for gold and silver. Can
we understand what awful hard
ships have been endured by these
gold seekers? How many have
succumbed to the overpowering
hardships and have been buried
in the snow and ice or drowned
in the raging torrents. Others
failing to find the dream of thier
life, have in dependency killed
themselves. Two hundred and
fifty men were recently buried
beneath an avalanche in the Chilli
coot pass. One hundred of these
met their death, and it was all for
the love of money. Within the
past 80 years there have been
three gold excitements. The first
was in 1S4S when the glitter of
gold was detected in the sands of
California. The next was in 1850
All eyes were turned to Australia
and in that land many found their
fortunes. The last is the pending
excitement over the barren wastes
of far off Ala3ka's dreary interior,
where many 60 and find fortunes
but alas, many others lind graves.
While these hardy men have been
thus laboring and suffering in the
secluded recesses of relentless
nature, the scientist has, in his
pleasant labratory, been working
for the same end. 1t seems that
the long desired end has been
reached and we may stay at home
and make gold cheaper and better
than by hunting and digging for it.
1t has long been known by chemists
that silver acts in peculiar ways
under certain conditions. IT could
be transmitted into gold, but when
released it would resume its old
form. Finally it was learned that
gases if reduced under certain
temperature would become Ii
quid. This principle was applied
to silver subject to million pounds
pressure to the square inch. The
experiment worked success
fully. Emmons the discoverer of
this was once called a fool. So
were Columbus and Newton and
, many Others of our great benefact-
ors. But it does not make them
such. AS silver will, when trans
muted into gold, increase in value
, Is times, we may take our five bill
. ions of silver and enhanse its value
to eighty billions of dollars. This
increase of money will increase the
happiness Of the people. All Of
this has been accomplished under
adverse circumstances. The dis
coverer has been paralized in his
lower limbs for Is years. Instead
of making his life burden tC
Others while in this condition, he

WARRINGTON, July 2s.-The war de.

summary change in its plans made by
General Miles when he landed at
Guanica instead Of on the northeast
coast Of Porto Rico as previously agreed
upon. It is surmised that he was led
to make this change by reason of the
condition Of his lighters and rather
than wait a weeks delay he went
ahead and landed his troops at Guam.

tho hardships suffered by Skaters

Santiago. It is also suggested that the
general has scored an important diplo.

Miles notified the war department. that
