After the Pool Room.

AS was stated in yesterdays Gazette,
the grand jury of the county visited st.
Asaph on Tuesday for the purpose oftak-
ing observations and declaring it unlaw-
H.. l. appears that three Of the number
"played the ponies" and won dollar
apiece. With the three one-dollar bills
pinned to their report the same was pre-
scented to Judge Nicol Thomas j. De
Lashmutt, Jacob f. Birch and W. T..
Burroughs, whose names were signed to
the report pronounced the pool room at
st. Asaph public nuisance, and recon-
mended that the necessary criminal pro-
ceedings be begun ut once to suppress
the resort and to prosecute all bOokmak-
ers, sheet writers, cashiers, board writers
and other employees.
The grand jury was in session for sew
eral days before twas determined to visit
the pool room in body. Many wit
nesses were brought before the jury by
Commonwealth Attorney Crandall Mack
ey, but no damaging testimony could be
elected. In the emergency, the jury
asked Mr.. Mackey if it could not be ar
ranged for them to visit the pool room
and see for themselves the method OF
operations. Attorney Mackey applied to
Judge Nicol, and upon receiving his
permission, the twelve men left the court
house and spent nearly all of Tuesday
afternoon at the resort. They mingled
with the crowds, and were eyewitness
of the scenes in the pool room. After
making the report Foreman Parker de-
clared that ST. Asaph was the worst
gambling place he had ever seen, and
said it was common report that at certain
hours it was unsafe for ladies to use the
Mr.. Vernon cars, because Of the crowds
of followers of the races who formed the
majority of the passengers.
Commonwealth Attorney Mackey says
ne has ample evidence to proceed sue
cessfulIy against the St. Asaph establish
ment. He says the promoters Of the
place claim to be acting as a corporation,
but he declares that each and every one
of them is subject to prosecution on the
charge of violating the laws OF Virginia
against gambling.

River Notes.

The prevailing northeasterly winds
and rains have produced high tides in
the river, and should these conditions
continue much longer trouble may be ex-
pected along the river front. Fog has
materially interfered with navigation dur
ing the past few days, and river steamers
have been more or less delayed by it.
The steamer Middlesex, from Balti-
more and river landings, due here last
night, did not arrive until about seven
O'Clock this morning. The steamer was
delayed by the tog and high water which
made it difficult to make landings.
The steamer Washington from Norfolk,
due here at $50 this morning, was sew
eral hours late, she having been COM
PEELED to anchor during the night on ac-
count of the heavy fog.
The schooner Amanda F. Lewis, load
ed with lumber by Smoot d Co., sailed
today for Leonardtown. -,
The barge Lily of the West loaded
with lumber by H. X. Field q Co',
sailed today for Doeg creek.

WASHINGTON. D. C.
"The Late Unpleasantness

Every one is familiar with the term,
"tEe late unpleasantness," as denoting
the war between the States, but there
are few who know that it was coined by
none other than the late General Ben
iamin F. Butler. The late DR.. A. Y.
p. Garnett, of Washington, used to tell
the story somewhat as follows:
A dinner given in Washington by
Caleb Cushing shortly after the war,
General Butler and Doctor Garnett were
invited guests. Doctor Garnett was de-
tanned by his professional duties and
did not come in until late. When he
entered the dining-room General But
Ter was speaking, and, by way of con-
tributing to the general good-humor of
the evening, the Union general took
occasion, in the course OF his remarks,
to refer TO the war as the late re-
bellion."
Doctor Garnett, who was then one OF
the leading physicians of Washington,
had been Surgeon-General Of the Con-
federate army and private physician to
Jefferson Davis. Unless Robert Toomhs,
of Georgia, might be excepted, there
was never more unreconstructed rebel
then Doctor Garrett. When the ex-
Confederate heard General Buffers
remark he was on his feet in an instant.
There was no rebellion, sir p he cried.
tcThere was no one to rebel against.
We were free-born American citl-
zens, fighting for what we thought was
right. Fate was against us End we
surrendered in good faith. | permit nc
man to say in my presenence that we
we're rebels"
General Butler bowed. 81 regret ex-
tremely having given ofense to fel.
low-guest," he said, smiling. off
may be permitted by my host and by
Doctor Garnett l will withdraw my
epithet. Instead of the rebellion We
will call it the late unpleasantness.
Doctor Garnett's keen sense of humol
rose to the occasion and he smiled, in
spite of himself, at General Buffers
adroitness. - Saturday Evening Post.

A disordered stomach may cause no
end OF trouble. When the stomach fails
to perform its functions the bowels be-
come deranged, the liver and kidneys
congested, causing numerous diseases,
the most fatal of which are painless and
therefore the more to be dreaded. The
important thing is to restore the stomach
and liver to healthy condition, and for
this purpose no better preparation can be
used than Chamberlain's Stomach and
Liver Tablets. For sale by Richard

1t seems as though fortune never
tires of showering fapOrs on its
favorites, and the party that
bought nine acres of land on the
Columbia vein some months ago
was very fortunate. The 50, 200
even then seemed an outrageous
prhe for this almost barren hill
side on which but one showing of
zine and lead ore was visible. On
this work commenced several
weeks ago. The visible ore was
soon mined, rich, of course, but
very early exhausted. A solid
limestone rock was the foundation
upon which this ore rested. Sat

twenty foot veins and can be min
ed very cheaply as it lies on "a rail
road.
| think this is enough to prove
that this district is unusually rich
in mineral deposits. Among the
first steps to be recommended are
greatly increased facilities for
transportation, not only in the
railways but county roads, for OBJ
vious reasons this point can not be
too strongly urged. The develop
ment of the mineral deposits should
be along two natural lines. In the
first, rival of the coal industries

would be of great consequence in
the progress of the county. In the
second line, the development of the
lead. zinc, barites and flour spar
deposits: ochres and other cheap
pigment, are associated. A large
plant might be established along
the river somewhere where the va
riOus products might be worked
up. All sorts Of paints could DE

crude material and transportation
close at hand, this enterprise, if
proper Y conducted. could scarcely

Barite is n very heavy white
mineral and used largely in the
adulteration of white lead, and is
scarcely ever found without its be-
ing somewhat stained or discolored
from its connection with earthly or
iron substances. The mineral
needs To be carefully assorted,
crushed and treated to sulphuric
acid bath to remove the stains. 1t
is then ground to an impalpable
powder, tiOated on water or in air
the residue being reground and

this beautiful mineral without any

some distance on one side of the
dislOcation either showed up or
thrown down. The limestone that
has been counted as the principle
source of the metals in this region
are the Princeton and st. Louis,
having an aggregate thickness of
no less than 500 feet. These veins
should be productive to depth of
500 to 800 feet. Valuable depos-

any point, hut experience teaches

isfied that the visible Iore was sim
ply an overflow from the main
body, shaft was driven down
few feet distant and the mine ore
body was opened up and its Won
derful richness is almost beyond
belief. In the Court de-Alenes we
know of lead ore being solid for
several feet in width. but this is
the first showing in this country
of IA four foot streak OF solid ore.
When one considers that quartz
rock weighs 1876 pounds to the GU
bic foot, and that Galena is nearly
three times as heavy, four foot
body of lead ore, four feet each
way, means some %, 40 pounds,
or nearly ID tons; worth in st.
Louis to-day nearly IS, 00.00. This
is the new property being opened
by parties on the Columbia vein, "a
short distance from the Crittenden
Hotel, and a property which, from
the very makeup of Crittenden
County ore bodies may be duplica-
ted twenty times in the next
twelve months in various portions
of the County. Large beds of
lumber and yellow ochre of very
fine quality occurs abouo five miles
from Marion, other cheap pig
ments could be manufactured from
soft chester shales which are eX-
posed at several points, iron ores
of several varieties occur at many
points. These ores are linonite
brown ores and are precisely like
those of Western Tennessee and of
the region known as between the
rivers of Kentucky. 1t may be
stated without fear of cOntradic-
ton that this district contains
more deposits of lead, zinc, tluor
spar and barite than any other see
ton of the State.
The zinc and lead deposits inva
riably occur in the line of the
fractures. They are, therefore, in
the true tissue veins-the origin of
which was in no way dependent
upon shrinkage of the strata nor
to the eroding or cavity making
effect upon limestone. On the
contrary, these tissues are of deep
seated origin. having resulted from
cOnvulsive movements OF the
earth's crust, whereby it was pro-
