The Earl of Warwick, commonly
called the .kingmaker, from the fac
nifty with " hicb he created and depoAsd
monarchs during the contest between
the house Of York and Lancaster, lived
in style of nagnifie ence and hospitality
Of which 20 period perhaps furnishes
an example No less than 80, 900 per-
sci's are said to have lived al his hoard
in the different manors and castles
which be possessed. and the military.
lllured by his hospitality as well a. his
bravery. were strongly attached "a his
interests. This distinguished warrior fell
at the battle of Barnet in l47l. WREN.
owing to the mistake Of one part of his
army falling upon the other during a
fog, he was defeated BY Edward Nv.
In former battles Warwick had al
ways fought on horseback, that he
might at once ride along the line and
perceive the particulars of the action,
but on this occasion be determined to
fight on foot, that his soldiers might
see that he was resolved to share with
them the dangers of the day. After hav.
ing exerted| himself as an officer and a
hero in fruitless attempts to turn the
tide of fortune in his favor he rushed
into the hottest part Of the battle and
fell covered with wounds. His brother,
Montarute, in endeavo1ing to save him
met with q similar ate.-Nuggets.

Bank In,pertinence.

The Philadelphia Record tells of an
old Pennsylvania farmer who recently
came into possession Of a check for
5000. 1t caused him great deal of anx-
iety, and for a long time he could not
muster up the courage to have it cashed.
Finally, while on a trip to town, he
summoned up nerve enough and, stroll
ing into the bank, presented the check.
The teller glanced at it hastily, and
then, after the fashion Of his kind.
brusquely asked, "What denomina-
toni"
Lutheran, gol durn it! But what's
tibet got tew do with it?" as %brusquely
replied the old farmer, to the great as
constituent of the bank official.
1t required several minutes explana-
ton before the teller could get the old
MAJ to understand his question, and
then the latter took his money and de-
parted, with sundry growls derogatory
to banks in general.

Gold In Pyrftes.

Experts in gold mining agree that
pretty mluch the bottom fact now known
about such metal is briefly that all orig
inal pyrites of small grain texture con-
tain gold to a greater or less extent,
this, of course, not covering such sec
ondary large crystal pyritous deposits
derived fro NJ veins. 1t is not yet known.
however, whether the gold in these
pyrites is in chemical combination with
tho sulphide of gold, OF whether each
minute par ticle of gold is simply cover
ed with a eating Of sulphide Of iron,
or finally whether such particles are in
the metallic state. but alleged with sill.
yer or otber metal which combines more
rapidly with sulphur than the gold
does, and G consequently forms a coat Of
sulphide Of silver over the gold. The
PARTICLES Of gold are so minute and the
combinatid No follow SO rapidly during
the splittiI G up of these pyrites that
the finest instruments and tests known
to chemistry have as yet been unable to
settle this part Of the question to the
satisfaction of all concerned, this fact
showing how easy it is to put in a mill
that will not ave the values.
