Carroll Smith, the young man mentioned
as lost last week, came in on the Butte stage
on Friday evening, safe and sound. After
leaving Mr. Paxson in the woods he took the
wrong direction for camp and wandered
away from it, and in struggling about in the
darkness fell into stream. He then built a
iie, and during the night was principally en-
gagged in drying his clothes. He could hear
the guns fired by his comrades, and fired his
in return, but the echoes 80 broke up and
confused the sound that he could not get the
direction. His comrades did not hear him
nor see his fire. Starting early the next morn
ing he proceeded in what he supposed was
the direction of camp and walked nearly all
day. Late in the afternoon he found him.
self where he had camped the night before.
Tired, weak, hungry, discouraged and con-
fused he lay down under tree and slept until
the next day. Again starting, he wandered
on and during the day killed ground squir-
rel. This he ate raw. He became thirsty
and coming to little stream stopped down
and drank. While taking this refreshing
draught it occurred to him that the water of
the stream probably flowed somewhere and
that by following down the stream he would
perhaps reach the most desired point. The
result was that IN seasonable time he reached
the Boulder and station on the Galen &
Black stage road The stage for Butte CON-
ing along soon after, he rode to Butte and
thence to Deer Lodge the next day. The re-
markable part of it is he had compass with
him but neglected to utilize it. The Messrs
Paxson, Evans. and Hawley returned on
Saturday evening. -Northwest.

A QUARREL BETWEEN rwe CoLoRED MEN
AND ITS REsULT-wHAT MADE HORACE
woRRELL COME TO THE POLICE STATION
LAST NIGHT.


A large muscular colored man named
Horace Worrell came to the police station q
little before II O'Clock last night walking as
though suffering, ,and upon being interrogated d
said that another negro named Cove Good
win had stabbed him with a knife. An ex-
animation showed that he had number OF
wounds about his head and body and DR..
ogle was at once sent for. The DR.. came
promptly and dressed the mans wounds,
none of which are of dangerous ch aracter.
There was one on the left side Just over
rib, one over the left jugular vein, one on
the lett temple and two en- the back, one of
which was upon the right shoulder blade
and the other just below. None of the
wounds were OF any great depth or size.
Worrell produced the knife with whichlthe
cutting had been done and which is large
sized two blsded pocket knife, the larger
blade of which 10 three inches lopg and
blunt on the point. He said that he was
moving from his house at Twelfth and Will
son streets to Twelfth and French streets
and while he was carrying some of his goods
out of the house when Goodwin came along


and some words ensued which 1t seems were


rendered all the hotter by Goodwin being

Goodwin began cursing and was struck al
by Worrell. He then drew q knife ant

A new industry has lately sprung up in
this country that bids fair to become very
valuable and wide spread in short time. 1t
is the manufacture of stone and is now being
introduced in Wilmington by the patentee,
Mr.. George Richardson who is stopping at
the Clayton House. This being a new and
important addition to our manufactures, a
brief account of the manner In which the ar
ticle Is made, the uses 1t Is put to and the
merits it possess, may not be uninteresting
to our readers.


The secret of the whole thing lays in the
harding power of carbonic acid gas which is
in rock cement and lime stone, and by the
process nature is made to do her own handi-
work over again, that has matter of neces-
sity been undone In preparing fol use one of
the substances of which the stone is made.
We will try to explain to our readers this
process, which to say the least is interesting.


The two ingredients contained are sand
and cement. The sand used is that which
is found along the Delaware, and that
which is being used in Chester comes from
Pennsgrove. The cement used is the ordi-
hydraulic cement and the two are m liked to-
gether.


The secret of the plan lies here, and when
people comprehend 1t and see how it is that
nature does all the work can scarcely help
remarking that 1t is simple yet surprising.
The cement rock is submitted to the process
of burning in order to expel the carbonic
acid gas which puts it in q condition for
grinding, after which 1t is ready for use.-
The success of manufacturing the stone lies
in this gas as will he seen further on. The
sand and cement on being mixed in fixed
proportions for mortar of dark gray
color. This is then placed in moulds whose
size and shape accord with the article to be
produced. These moulds are of wood, for
hitching posts, window caps, window sills,
door-sills, &c., but for draining pipes are of
cast iron; The substance when placed In
the moulds is in soft condition and under
goes thorough packing. 1t ia then removed
and is ready for the harding process. This
is simple. The articles are placed in an air
tight chamber, ten feet square and the car
bonic acid gas which was once forced out of
the cement to make 1t soft for grinding is
now introduced to harden 1t again. The gas
is generated by burning charcoal in q COM
mon coal stove, and In passing into the
chamber, first goes through cool water to
| reduce the temperature, as 1t would other
wise injure the cement. This gas is so rap
idly absolved as to keep up draft from the
stove to the chamber and for as long as the

WHAT Is CALLED THE AMERICAN CoLoNY IN
PARIS consists of about two thousand families,
a large proportion of them from the South.
A great many of them might be regarded al
most as permanent residents A goodly num-
Der of them are people of limited means, who
find that they can live so much cheaper here
than in an American city that they have con-
cluded to stay. One of these remarked to
me to-day, Il can live better in Paris on
$1,000 per annum than l could in New York
on $1,000" He then proceeded to detail the
difference. In New York he would be regard
ed as nobody unless he owned or rented
brown-stone house at from $1,000 to $4,000
per annum Here he could obtain a suite of
elegant apartments, in fashionable neigh
borhood, at from $500 to $1,000 per annum,
and make as good an appearance as any one
else in his sphere. In New York he would
have to pay $40 per week for a coachman
whilst here he could engage a landau, with a
fine pair of horses, and liveried footman
thrown in, to be always at the reasonable call
of his family for $12 to $15 per week. Then
he said he could clothe himself and family at
one-half the expense, and much better than
he could in New York that servant hire was
not half the cost, and the service better; that

self if satisfied with French living. But, he
remarked, an American can never feel COM
Portable or contented in Paris until he goes
to housekeeping and orders his own food, and
prescribes the mode of cooking It. A French
man loves the table d'hote, but it is an abom-
ination to the American. As soon as they
get under their own roofs they all fall back
to the American mode of living, and luxuriate
in griddle cakes, mullins, hot rolls and buck
wheat cakes all of which a Partisan would
regard as poison, They exercise the horri-

longer shut their eyes and swallow whatever

a certain lady had met with very serious

cal operation and many months confinement
to her bed. When the physician had finished
his work, and was about taking leave, the pa

"Only one day at time" was the chcery
answer and the poor sufferer was not only
comforted for the moment, but many times
during the succeeding weary weeks did the
thought, "Only one day at time" come
back with its queting influence


think it was Sydney Smith who recon-
meuded taking short ''yiews" as a good safe
guard against needless worry and one far
wiser than he has said, Take therefore no
thought for the morrow; for the morrow
shall take thought for the things of itself.
Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof"


There are no troubles that wear upon the
temper, and sap the foundations of all peace
and comfort, as do borrowed troubles, because
there is no provision made in the divine econ
omy for help to bear them We have no
promise that strength will be given to sustain
us under the weight of imaginary burdens
Real trials, brayely and patiently borne, are
moral tonics. strengthening and purifying in
their influence, lifting the soul to higher lev
els and broader outlooks. But it is only by
receiving them as they come, zone day mt
time, ana taxing no thought for those of the
morrow, that they will yield us the full meas
ure OF good with which they are fraught


We should probably be not a little astonish-
ed could we take in at glance all the trials of
our past lives, both real and apprehended to
find how greatly the latter would out-number
the former, and also how rarely the dreaded
evil has become reality Again and again
does the dark cloud, which seems Just ready
to launch forth its lightning dart of scathing
afhiction, descend in gentle and refreshing
showers Of mercy 1t is however, sometimes
the case that the habit of forebodng evil
helps TO work out its fulflment The mother
who passes nights of sleepless anxiety con-
cerning the future of the wilful wayward
child, thus renders herself unfit for the exer-
else of that calm. firm discipline, so necessary
to its proper training and may make many a
fatal mistake which would have been avoided
had she simply done her very best from day
to day, leaving the results with God. The
business man, who during season of finan-
cial depression, broods constantly over the
prospect of impending ruin, loses that cool,
clear judgment which would go far toward
averting the dreaded catastrophe.


In all those hard places to which we SO of
ten come in the course of our earthly pilgrim
age, when for days, weeks, and perhaps
for months and years. We seem to be rowing
against the tide making 10 headway, and
sometimes apparently losing ground when
flesh and spirit are alike aready to fail it will

TIE New SYSTEM OF STEAM HEATING. .-

Quoted two miles, and Mr.. Holly claims that
it can be used five miles from the boiler with

consumers about the same as they had preyi-

meters, and the cost is said to have been con-
siderably reduced from the rates first charged
Besides this saving, the trouble of taking
care of fires, the risk of damage from care
less tending, the injury to furniture and
health from smoke, gas, and dust are saved
and uniform temperature is easily preserved.
The steam can be used for cooking also, and
for power; and snow, it is said, can be very
cheaply and quickly cleared from the side

of the deadening aud degrading influen-
ces Of slavery. L. is impossible that this
outrage should take place In Pennsyl-
