The coroner's jury was summoned the
other day in Texas town to sit upon
man who died suddenly in his bed. The
jury proceeded to the house, looked
at the corpse, and began the inquest.
The doctor explained the case to them,
and drew map of the mans interior, so
as as to show the jurymen how a whole
lot of Latin things inside of him there
got mixed up somehow with parcel of
other classical machinery, and produced
perfectly terrific combination with
another Latin title, which killed him,
of course. The jury said the case was
| perfectly plain.-Such an accident as
that among the mans internal Latin
must have destroyed any one. The
! only wonder was that he lived an hour.
! So verdict was brought in of "death
| in accordance with the evidence" Just
! as the inquest ended the man awoke, and
| the fact was discovered that the deceased
person was in the ad joining room, while
this wretch had only been asleep. The
question that puzzles the coroner now Isl:
| What to do with the sleeper? To our
mind it will admit of an easy solution.
! If that man has been found dead by a
jury of his conntrymen, he is dead, no
matter what he thinks about ii, or what
the apparent facts are. There is nothing
in the Constitution of the United States
or in Washington's farewell address to
forbid his burial; and if we were that
coro.er we would grab him and plant
him at once in the cemetery beneath the
greenwood.tree and sue his relations

AN old farmer was out one fine day,
looking over his broad acres, with an
axe On his shoulder and little dog at
his heels. They espied woodchuck.
The dog gave chase and drove him into
a stone wall, where action Immediately
commenced. The dog would draw the
woodchuck partly out from the wall,
and the woodchuck would take the dog
back. The farmers sympathy getting
high on the side of the dog, he thought
he must help him. So putting himself
in position, with axe above the dog, he
waited for the extraction of the wood
chuck, when he would cut him down.
So on an opportunity offered, and the old
man struck, but the woodchuek gather
ing up at the same time, took the dog in
far enough to receive the blow, and the
dog was killed on the spot. Forty years
afterward, the old man, in relating the
story, would always add And that dog
don't know to this day but what the
woodchuck killed him.

X correspondent in the Scientific American, engaged in gold mining in North Carolina, writes as follows on the subject of amalga- mating gold ores:

 "A great majority of mines yielding free gold produce ores that will not work more than ten dollars per ton; and, of course, a large quantity must be worked to make it pay. Hence. any process that Is not rapid and cheap will not answer.

 d As 10 the working of sulphuretted or 're- belious' ores !: Of the hundreds nf patented and other processes, hardly one Is worth a moments consideration. It may be said, however, that many of the so called improv- ed and newly discovered methods work well enough in the laboratory, hut, when put to a practical test, are found to he worthless.

 "After many experiments, I have found the following process to be the best: l first roast the ore (though it is free gold ore) in large piles. thus rendering it very friable, and thoroughly drying all the dirt and clay. In every tan of the ore, there is about 300 lbs. of fine rock and dirt, which have screened out through wire sieves of about one quarter

 inch meshes, and this fine stuff l run through a common drag mill, and then through a "Georgia rocker" thus saving nearly all the gold In fact, by this simple process obtain nearly fifty dollars of gold per ton of dirt :; whereas, when run through the stamp mill and over copper plates, obtain only about ten dollars per ton. The rock crush in one of the Wilson patent stamp mills, using quicksilver in the battery, and then running the crushed matter over the ordinary plates. The rock is worth fully ten dollars per ton, but save only about half of this.

 .As to working folerably high grade sui- phurctted ores: The best was, if not too far from shipping point, is to send them to Swansea. England. But if this cannot be done. then erect a common furnace, having the fire surfaces of good soapstone; then, to every l50 pounds of ore, put in one bushei of charcoal and ten per cent. of salt The ore will readily melt to slag, and will be pretty we'll desulphurized The slag can be drawn of. and when cold can be broken up and worked like free gold ore. A small trial iur- mace can be built of good fire brick, and an ordinary blacksmith's bellows will answer to blow the fire.

 "As the loss of gold, by the present pro cess of amalgamation, is known to be very great and, in many cases, disastrous to those engaged in mining, 1t is importants 1t seems to me. that the different proceSes which have been found to work the best, by differ ent miners, should be made known to the public h this way much rcci nay he sa-e and a great industry made alafe vsiassis than t IS.

HE WAS LEFT.-A genuine touch of woman nature, as we'll as human nature, pervades the following from a corres- pondent in Detroit: "A comfortable old couple sat a seat or two in front of us on the railroad during one of the hottest days of last summer. The journey was evidently one of the events of their lives, and their curiosity excited the att tention of the passengers. At way station the old gentleman stepped out of the cars to get drink, or to buy a doughnut, and heard the bell only in time to rush to the door of the eating house and see the train moving off with out him. The old lady in her seat had been fdgeting. and looking out of the window in her anxiety for his return, and when she saw his plight, his frantic gestures for the train to stop as it swept farther and farther away, she exclaimed "'There! my old mans got left! he has! there, sec he has!!! Wall,' she continu- ed, settling back into her seat again, I'm glad on't-it's always been ssMam- my, you'll get left! nanny, you'll get left!" all my life long; and now he's gone and got left, and I'm glad ont. s'Her candid reflection on the accident, and the evident satisfaction she felt in the fact that it was the old man and not herself that was left, was greeted by a round of laughing applause. Not few of the ladies in the car were delighted that it was the old man and not the woman who had caught it this time. For once, the lord and not the lady had made the blunder, and gone and got left"

A NATION OF L1ARs.-The island of Ceylon is very beautiful, the scenery lovely, and the soil productive in spices and many kinds of fruit; indeed, it is sad that it alone might produce stuff

 cient coffee for the consumption of the entire world. The natives, however,

 are far from pleasing. They are gen erally of short stature, very efeminate- looking, apathetic, and such liars that it is impossible to depend upon their word. If they may but repose for hour after hour under tree, with piece of bread fruit beside them, they seem to care for little else. The men wear their hair turned up behind with comb, the height of the comb denoting the rank of the wearer. This, and the small features,

 gives them altogether such an effeminate appearance that it is difficult for Euro peans to distinguish them from females.

 A visitor lately entered one of the schools, and, seeing 8 row of boys sitting with their backs towards him, and each with comb in his head, unconsciously asked if boys and girls were educated together. One of the natives of high rank was lately called on to give evidence at Q trial, and swore such complete false hoods that he was imprisoned for per- jury. He applied to the English govern ment and, with surprise, asked why he should be punished for what his people did. My father," he said, ''was liar, and my grandfather was liar, and we are all liars. It is the custom of my country. Why should I be punished?'

THE GREAT GRAIN ARTERY. Ro- chester paper says: s'Those who have been led by false statistics and spacious arguments to fear that the great grain trade of the Northwest is in danger of being diverted from it's natural channel of transportation and will find its way to the seabord, via Montreal, the Mississip. pi River or other routes, would do we'll to pause and reflect before regarding their opinion as definitely fixed. The receipts of grain at Buffalo up to the present time are no less than last year, making due allowance for the lateness of the opening of navigation in the spring and just now shipments which have been delayed in the hope of re- duction of freights, or from other causes are pouring in at an unprecedented rate. During forty eight hours there were re- ceived at Buffalo 1,356,O00 bushels of grain. A very large fleet of grain laden vessels is also on its way from the upper lakes, and some of them are constantly arriving. In referring to the business of the canals the Buffalo Comrier says: 'sIt has been exceptionally good, al- though it has not been as profitable to the carriers as that of the lakes. The shipments of grain by canal since it's opening have already exceeded 35, 900, 900 bushels which is but 500,OOO less than had been shipped last year at this time

 When we consider that the season has been two weeks shorter this year than last, owing to the later opening of the canal last spring we have reason to be satisfied. Comparing the business for the same number of days in each year. the shipments are much larger this year than last" These facts go to show that nothing that has yet been said in regard to diversion of the grain trade is wor- thy of serious consideration.
