Monster Paint Mine.

About a mile from Bennington, VT, is a
paint mine that has been delved into for 90
years. In spite of the fact that its con-
tents resemble nothing more valuable than
red and yellow clay, it has yielded larger
sums of money than many a great gold
mine. The material, which seems ex-
haustless in quantity, is known to COM
merce as ochre, and is used extensively as
a color base and in the manufacture of pa
per and oilcloth. 1t is chemically known
as oxide of iron, or iron earth, and is
formed by the breaking down and crumb-
ling of iron ore through the influence of
oxygen. The ochre is reached by means of
horizontal shafts, or tunnels, dug in the
side of hill. When the deposit is reached
it is found in red and yellow layers that
rise and dip successfully. The deposit is
easily dug with pick and shovel, and in it
are often found beautiful crystals several
inches in length, and "waterpots" OF
crusted and hollow Jumps partly filled with
water.
In preparation for the market the raw
ochre is passed through grinders and is
cleansed by streams of water, when it is
left to dry. Then it is ground to powder,
packed in barrels and shipped to market.

Two Funeral Orations by Senator
Blackburn

BY the irony of fate and the exigences
OF personal ambition it became the duty of
the Hon. Joseph C.. S. Blackburn to pro-
nounce the funeral Grafton at the coffin of
William Goebel. And of Goebel, Senator
Blackburn said:
Build here over his grave a mighty towering
granite shaft that shall defy the corroding touch
or time. lnscfbe upon IL an epitaph that shall be
worthy OF the man. He earned this al our hands
In life and death he was consecra ed TO the PEG
pies cause. He lived an honest life. and gave his
life for your deliverance. or him no euogy but
truth may say: Earth never pillowed upon her
bosom a truer son. nor heaven opened wide her
portals TO receive manlier spirit"
At Covington on Sunday, April IA, 1895,
little less than five years ago, the eulogist
of Goebel pronounced another funeral ora
ton. That time he stood by the coffin of
Col. John l.. Sanford, who like Goebel
had been shot down in the highway. And
of Sanford Senator Blackburn said:
John Sanford was to me like a brother /
loved him. hope God may spare me- and shall
make II my life's mission to ayenge him by bury.
ing his slayer in the depths OF merted public
Grafton"
The slayer Of John Sanford was William
