THERE is something very fascinating
about the regular first-class bicycle as it
rolls along so swiftly, silently and easily.
The rider, perched over the high wheel,
appears to use no more effort than in
walking at a gentle pace, and yet be
covers the ground at a famous rate.
In fact at long distances a bicycle-rider
can outstrip horse or man with the
greatest ease, and it is probable that in a
short time he can beat the swiftest trot-
ting horse in a single mile heat. Two
hundred and twenty miles have been
ridden on bicycle in sixteen and hall
hours without a dismount; the best
record for single mile is 2:4S, and the

Dick, had been beaten three times by
Fashion. He was bantered to enter bis
horse once more, and having repeatedly
declined, was told at last by some one
something to the effect that Fashion
could, of course, beat the horse, but that
to make the race, and in the interest of
the turf, he should consent to run him
again. "The mare can certainly beat
the horse" said the colonel, and 1
have done enough to enter him three
times; but i you insist on a race 1 will
bet $4,000 that the mare can not beat
him by ten feet" This was such q close
calculation on beaten horse that it did
not take five minutes to raise the
$4,000. The mare won the first heat
by six feet, and the second by seven and

she exclaimed, and still continued TO

Ere many seconds had passed half a
dozen swarthy men-iheir faces illum-
ined with the rays of the setting sun
bounded over the hedge and rail to the
fcone of peril


Their brawny hands and arms were
soon earnestly engaged in the work of
rescue; and while the women comforted
old Deborah, her husband was got out
OF his very dangerous position.


He made no movement as they bore
him to the surface, and then to his cot.
tage, where it was found that life was
not extinct. He was fearfully bruised
and shaken, however, and was some
weeks in recovering his usual health.


This incident wrought an eutire
change in the old couple. Whether the
attention and sympathy of their neigh.

be said; but it is very certain that few
are proof against kind words ind loving
deeds; sneers and reproaches may hard

love?


Happily the Rawleys' hearts were
touched by the friendly solicitude shown
them, and they evinced their gratitude
in many ways. Selfshness gave place
to generosity, and perhaps tue final re-
covery of Mrs, Higgins invalids was, in
some measure, due to the frequent sup

light in laying for other people as for
their own mistress.


Be that as it may, hearts which had
been long closed to the sufferings around

realization CT life's duties, their earnest
attention to which enriched them with
a higher appreciation of life's true sweet

Mr.. Richard King, while returning
from LittIeton, Va, to his farm in that
neighborhood, met with a most awful
death. He was driving along the coun-
try road running parallel with the rail-
road, when his mule team took fright at
an approaching handcar and dashed of
at furious rate. Mr.. King was sitting
on box, which fell from under him,
and he fell between the arms just in front
Of the axle, catching his left leg in the
wheel. 1t was literally ground into
fragments. He, thus entangled, was
dragged several hundred yards. while a
broken iron bar about eight inches long
was thrust into his body. The wagon
was hurled against tree, which broke
three of his ribs and bruised him nearly
all over his body. In this terrible con


dition he lay nearly four hours before
death relieved him OF his agony. Medi-
cal assistance was soon at hand, but
nothing could be done. He was per-
fectIy conscious to the last. He leaves
a wife and several children, who were at
his side through the long agony.

" Torace Wedge, Of Long Hill, Bridge
port, Conn. went out shooting recently
and returned at night after tramp COW
ering several miles of ground. After
his return home he put his hand in his
pocket for his watch and found it was
missing. he then remembere that at
Stepney depot, earlier in the day, both
he and his companion lad pulled out
their watches and compared them with
the depot clock; but this was worth
nothing as an indication for finding the
lost property, as they had tramped a
weary round since then. That or the
following night he dreamed that he saw
his watch lying near beach tree in a
run east Of Long Hill, where they had
killed couple of birds, and 80 vivid was
the dream that the following day he re-
solved to go and take look for the
watch. He found the tree he saw in his
dream without difficulty, and lying near
it, just as he pictured in his dream, he
found the missing watch, safe and sound.

The attention of the poorer classes, says
an English exchange, is directed to the
suitability Of dates rs an article of food at
once cheap and nutritious. Dates are ex-
tensively consumed by the lower orders in
Egypt, as also by the Arabs in the Persian
Gulf, with whom dates and bread form the
principal diet. Those in better circum-
stance cook them in different ways, such as
frying them with little butter or making
them into an omelet with eggs Formerly
the only dates imported into the London
market were those from Egypt, called Taft
lat, which were and are still sold by grocers
at from eightpence to tenpence per pound.
But the Tafilat, albeit large and fine
looking fruit, have tough skin, and are
far less succulent and nutritious than those
now brought from Al-Basrah and the Per-
sian Gulf These latter are disposed of
wholesale in boxes or straw sacks at from
ten shillings to fourteen shillings per hun
dred- weight, and are hawked about the
street for from twopence to fourpence to
pound. A more general demand for the
fruit would probably lower the retail price
and it would be great boon to the poorer
classes it they could be convinced that one
pound of dates, costing about three half
pence, contains as much nutriment as
half pound of meat, and as much more
than the same weight of many of the
articles of food for which they pay six or
ten times the price.

Ii is well known fact that this State
abouuds in mines, the ore from which
could ua be worked heretofore on account
of the rebeIlious matter ley contained
/ Io cA hIfvwu also that these ores con-
tanned a large percentage of gold and
silSer, hut Notwithstanding experiments
without number have been tried from time
to time, with a view to separating gold
and silver from the base metal, all efforts
in that direction have proved failures. At
last, however, Il system has been discovered
and patented by John A. Robertson, of
Oakland, which is known as the Electric
Process, which threatens to reyolutlenize
of ores which were heretofore regarded
as worthless. Experiments Ell small
scale were made with the process some
time ago, and the results were so satisfac-
tory that within short time extensive
works, for the testing of the principle on
a large scale, have been erected in Sacra-
mento, at Thirty-first and j streets, ad-
joining Clark's pottery, and their working
has been so successful as to warrant the
proprietors in the expenditure of large
sum of money to carry on the business.


The process is very simple, and the OBJ
ject is to perform in single operation
what has required two or three operations
and much time to effect in the process Of
extracting precious metals from rebellious
ores-that is to say, by thoroughly desul-
phurizing the ore and bringing the pre-
cious metal TO a condition to amalgamate
freely, aggregatiug the same and freeing
it entirely from the influence and union
with the basa metals.


To effect this object there is placed
vat or receiver of sufficient capacity to
hold the ore of the most convenient quan.
tity-say one ton-and immerse the same
in quantity of water sufficient to cover
it, The required quantity of salt to make
thick brine, or as much as can be held
in solution with the same, is then used
adding thereto about one-half pound of
cyanide of potassium, and one-half pound
of sulphate of copper, forming a solution
of salt and cyanide of potassium in the
above described manner. The ton or 9TH
cr desired quantity of ore is slowly heated
to red heat, and afterward plunged
while redhOt, into the aforesaid solution,
the ore being broken up to about the same
size that is broken for milling. By bring
ing the ore III contact with the solution it
becomes entirely desulphuriZed.


The entire operation of desulphurizing
and migrating the quartz and sulphu-
rcts IS almost instantaneous


! Iron pyritcs aud sulphurets generally
are reduced u Il very fine tour or almost
impalua5ie powder, and the quartz is Sc dis

little rubbing that it may be readily pre-
pared for iamalgamating in an ordinary
amalgamating pan.


The action OF the cyanide of potassium,
in connection with the sulphate of copper,
cleans, brightens, and immediately pre-
pares the precious metals for amalgama-
ton with the quicksilver no matter how
fine and impalpable the same may be.
| The solution composed of the above
| ingredients, and the manner of treating
The ore previous to its beng brought in
contact with the same, render the oper-
alton of extracting the precious metals
from the ore very simple and efiectual
and accomplish it in a very short time.


The works adjoining Clark's Pottery
have capacity Of ore ton per hour, the
cost of chemicals will not exceed 81 per
ton and two cords of wood will run the
furnace twenty hours.


Such is the excitement which this new
discovery has created that Oflate numbers
of mining men from San Francisco, Los
Angeles, Shasta, Ell Dorado, Placer and
other counties have visited this city and
thoroughly inspected the workings of the
new process and its wonderful results for
themselves.


Among the samples were lot from
what is known as the Gold Deposit of Ell
Dorado county, seven miles from Placer
Vile, from which nothing could hereto.
fore be obtained. By the electric process
however, this ore yielded about $4,000 per
tor, and so favorably impressed are the
owners Of claims in that vicinity with this
invention that several carloads are to be
sent down and worked at an early day.


Meadow Lake ores, than which none
more refractory were ever known, have
also been successfully worked and made
to yield handsomely by this process.
One pound of sulphurets from Green
wood, El Dorado county, which was
worf2cd here recently, which ore had been
heretofore regarded as worthless, yielded
81 sec per ton, and many other similar
Illustrations of the success Of this new
process might be quoted.


On Wednesday last a cleanup was had
of the working Of one ton OF ore from the
Washington mine, Mar.pOSa county, anu
the resGlt was yield of $50 per ton,
while at the mill only 50 or 50 can be
saved by the chloridization process.


From q pound of refractory ores from
Auburn test by the new process yielded
gold button the size of large pin-head.


Negotiations have already been entered
into for the shipment of large quantities
of ore from various localities to this city
for treatment by the new process, and in
few days the works will be started up to
their full capacity.


At Sweetser q Alsip's office, on Fourth
street, between and K, can be seen the
first bar ever produced by this process.
The ore was from the Enterprise mine in
Mariposa county, very base, and at the
mill only $13.s5 was saved. Nine tons of
ore were worked by the new process, and
the result was yield of $50 per ton.
Some OF the gold was kept for small spec
linens, but the bar, which is about 315x2
inches in size and ~ inches thick, is
valued at S44S.


The discovery is wonderful one and its
ultimate benefits are incalculable. .-Socra-
