Each furnace will treat from one hundred and fifty to two hundred tons of these charges in twenty-four hours. Tlio lead in the mixture when treated in the furnace runs down into the bottom, carrying with it tlio precious metals. The slag, being lighter, floats on top of the lead and is taken off through a tap hole. The lead, or rather the bullion, is dipped out of a well in tho side of the furnace and poured into molds. After cooling the bars are taken out and sampled, a hollow punch being used that brings out a small core. It is usual for convenience to sample tho bars in lots of 300 each The punehings of each lot are assayed to determine their contents. The bullion is now ready for market or for further trcatnent. and Coke. After the gold ore has reached the smelter, being weighed, sampled and separated into piles for the various bins, each pile is pulverized in a machine that works upon the principle of a coffee mill. From this sample three or more paper sacks are filled, of which two are sent to the assay office, one to be sampled and the other filed away. The third sack is sent to the shipper of the ore. Each sack is marked with the shipper's name, name of the mine if given by the shipper, lot number, car number, if any, and date when sampled. If the ore is very lumpy it is crushed before sampling. This unloading into a bin is continued until the bin is full, and, according to the Leadville Herald, it may hold anywhere from five hundred to three thousand tons. When filled, the superintendent obtains a list of all ores and weights of lots that liave gone there, which constitute what is called a mixture. This list ho takes to the assay office, and gets an average assay on the silver, gold, lead, zinc, iron, lime, etc., in order that he may know what to add to make a good smelting charge. Separate piles of lead and iron ore are made, to supply the furnaces when needed. The superintendent makes out a list of the different mixtures and the weight from each that are to constitute a furnace charge. About eight hundred pounds of ore, one hundred and fifty pounds of lime, two hundred pounds of slag and one hundred and fifty pounds of coke go to make up a charge. HOW GOLD ORE IS SMELTED. A Charge of It la Mixed with Um Sla* The cholera expert who has been investigating the epidemic for the Times says: It means that we have by no means seen the end of the trouble even this yoar, and that the seed is being sown over a vast area in Contral Europe ready for the death harvest next year. To specify more particularly, Grodno means Western Russia right ujj to the Prussian border andgbeyond: Odessa moans the Black Sea, Littoral and the Datiubian provinces; Hilda Pesth means that the isolation of (Jalicia is an utter failure, and that Austria-Hungary is" involved; 8pandau, that the waterways from Berlin to the scattered cases in Holland and Helgium tell the same tale for those counties if of the great dentil into new fields, and although ho does not yet demand his victims in great numbers, it portends, it is declared, an awful slaughter next yoar. neut the punt, few days is regarded by medcal men as peculiarly ominoUs of the march London, October 0.—The cfaolera specter will not down. Tho news from thoconti- othing Hancock hesitated a moment then paid, "And I, sir, would under any other circumstances have declined to offer you my hand." Hancock, advancing quickley, extended his hand and said: "Why General Stewart, I am glad to meet you, but sorry, indeed, under the present circumstances."' Stewart, who was a little mito, in a cockade hat. and putting his hands behind him said, "I am General Stewart, of the Confederate army, and whatever we may have been in former days, I am your enemy now, sir, therefore I must decline to take your hand, sir." An aid coming up reported, "General, we have taken the entire Stonewall Jackson brigade, and the Division General Johnston and General Stewnrt. Handcock remarkod "Not J. E. B. Stewart;-' "No, it must be William Stewart." "If so ho and I wore classmates at West Point." Just then the officers captured were seen coming up ovor the brow of the hill, and Hancock advanced to the front. The Rebels halted and tbo front one. who was Stewart, saluted. "Didn't we (five them hell. General!" During the WUderneaa campaign, when (he 2nd corps, under Hancock, broke Lee'a right wing on May 11th, the 106th P. V. was among the troop* that struck the earth works square at the "bloody angle." A. H. Mitchell, of Co. A, was in command of N, F and D Co's, of the 105th, all other Une officers being wounded, and captured the flag of a North Carolina regiment. Capt. A. H. Mitchell was wounded, and his brother, J. G. Mitchell, took him and his flag, swords captured, etc., to the rear, and as per orders from headquarters, took the flag to corps headquarters to get a receipt for it. Gen. Hancock said, "No officer is here to receipt for the Hag; wait until one comes." Young Mitchell did so by walking side by side with Hancock, who was pacing back and forth very much excited at his complete success. At the same time he kept up a conversation with Mitchell, who was excited to the extent that all tear of office was so far lost that he ventured the remark: A correspondent from Indiana county relates the following incident of the "lata unpleasantness" in which Capt. J. O. Mitchell, Republican candidate for Senator, then only fourteen yean of age, figured conspicuously: of Congress. Mitchell was the only Union soldier present except the guards, who were too far away to hear the conversation. Boon the aids began to return, when Hancock called young Mitchell, and gave him the receipt thut finally secured for his brother, Captain A.

Washi.vgtojj, D. C., Oct. 9.—Before leaving here yesterday Congressman Huff called at the Postoffice department and had a conference with the postmaster-general regarding the appointment of a postmaster at Baltsburg. When Postmaster Paul died about a mouth ago a large majority of the citizens of that place requested Mr. Huff to have the widow, Mrs. Paul, appoiated to fill out the unexpired term of her husband, which would end in (May next, j This Mr. | Huff was willing to do, but on his arrival here he found that the regulations prohibited the appoiatuieat of a Presidential postmaster to tin unexpired term; iu fact that there is no such thing as an unexpired term for this class of offices, all presidential post• masters being appointed for a full term of four years from the date of their contirma- I tlon by the Senate. Under these circumstances Mr. Huff was compelled to recorameud someone for the full term, and after considering the various applicants he decided in favor of James I'..

Castallani, a jeweler of Romo, bocame one of the most ardent seekers and collectors among these old storehouses, and ho made great efforts to produce work resembling' tho granulated work he found on the finer pieces of goldwork. Ho found that there existed nt St. Angelo, in Vado, a remote district in tho Apennines, a traditional knowledge of this particular art, necklaces, earrings and other ornaments, known as "navicellc," made there, closely resembling the old work both In design and workmanship. Neither M. Castellani, however, nor his workmen succeeded In producing tho grains of gold as small as tho older work, and how it was done remains a secret to this day. Many other antiquarians have devoted themselves to the exploration of these old Italian tombs, notably Campanari at Toscanella, Marquis Campana at Ciere, Prince Torlonia and M. <lcs Vergers and Alessandro Francois at Vulci, and to these gentlemen and many others we owo a great debt of gratitude, not only for their indefatigable energy in the face of diftlcultlea of all kinds, but also for their success in revealing to us a glimpse of the luxurious lives the art loving race of Etruria must have led, as shown by the treasures that have been preserved side by side with the bones of their quondam owners. The Egyptians made much of their dead, but the Etruscans seem to have made almost more, since we hear of cemeteries sixteen square miles in extent, while in their provision for the comfort of the dead in the matter of chairs and tables, pictorial adornment of walls and ample supply of all useful implements for daily life, they fell no whit behind. These tombs seem to have become larger and more used aa treasure-houses as the race increased in prosperity and riches. In tho earliest form of sepulture the cremated body was placed in an earthen vase, sometimes sitnplo in form and sometimes shaped like a little hut, decorated with sitnplo arabesque designs, and this was buried in a pit-like excavation, generally lined with tiles, and having above it no sign or mark of its existence. hi their earliest httrying-placea many small objects of clay and bronze are found, generally toys or small articles of toilet, knives, helmets, etc., and in a few rare cases the better made of tho bronze articles are gilt. The urns containing the cremated dead were gradually superseded by larger coffins, and the bodies were no longer burned. In these coffins finer specimens of work of all kinds are found, and gold jewelry becomes more and more frequent; but it is the latest form of burial, when the richer persons were laid to rest in large chambers, highly decorated and containing many vases and much treasure of gold and silver, that has yielded tip the richest harvest of black an<l red vases of exquisite workmanship, gold jewelry so finely wrought that, Harper's Magazine says, it is quite beyond the power of modern experts to guesa in what manner it was made. J. A. Crawford, member of the executive board U. M. W. of America, addressed the miners of this place In Means' hall on Tuesday evening on the necessity for organization among the miners, and the benefits they have received from it where they have been organized. The railroad will soon be completed into tbie town. The graders have finished their part of it and it is expected the laying of the ties aad rails will not occupy more than a couple of weeks, and then we will be able to get out of here and back without getting covered with mud from head to foot, besides traveling over bad roads and exposure to all kinds of weather. "If Columbus discovered America, who discovered Columbus ! In the first place, it is rather doubtful whether Columbus was a noble man, and it is certain that he was not a hero. In the second place, he had not the slightest idea that there was a country on the other side of the Atlantic. In the third place, he was not the first European who stood upon American soil." The preacher said that it is quite certain that at least on one occasion Columbus obtained money under false pretenses; that he was otherwise immoral and guilty of great cruelty, and was responsible for the West Indian slave trade. "It was God," he continued, "who discovered Columbus and used him as an agent in the discovery of America." New Yohk, Oct. 9.—Not all of the Columbus sermons delivered in this city to-day were laudatory. At the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church Rev. Henry Van Dyke sounded a note of discord, denouncing the great discoverer as immoral, dishonest and, in effect, an impostor. Mr. Van Dyke said: An Amateur, Knocked Out *ln Eight Hounds, l)lcs the Following Day. * In this line we can surprise you more than ever. Men's heavy kersy pants, the best you ever saw for the money.

Hut the demand for Eoquefort clieeso has become so great that trickery now plays a part in tho ripening process, says Temple Bar. Tho peasants have learned that "time is money," and they have found that bread crumbs mixed with the curd causes those green streaks of moldiness, which denato that the cheeso is fit for the market, to appear much more readily than was formerly the case, when it was left to do the best it could for itself with the aid of a subterranean atmosphere. This is not cxactly cheating; it is commercial anterprise, the result of competition and other circumstances too strong for poor human nature. In cheese-malting,' bread crumbs are found to bo a cheap substitute for time; and it is said that those who have taken to beer brewing in this region have found that box, which hero is tho commonest of shrubs is a cheap substitute for hops. Tho notion that brass pins are stuck into Roquefort cheeso to make it turn green is founded on fiction. Cheese, which has been the fortune of Roquefort, has destroyed its picturcsqueness. It has brought speculators there who have raised great, ugly, square buildings of dazzling whiteness in harsh contrast with tho character and somber tone of tho old houses. Although the place is so small that It consists of only one street and a few alleys, the more ancient dwellings are remarkable for their height. It is surprising to seo in a village lost among the sterile hills houses three stories high. Tho fact that there is only a ledge on which to build must bo the explanation. What is most curious in tho place is the cellars. Before tho cheese became an important article of commerce theso were natural caverns, such as are everywhere to be found in this calcareous formation, but now they are really cellars that have been excavated to such a depth in the rock that they are to be seen in as many as five stages, where long rows of cheese are stacked one over the other. Tho virtue of these collars, from the cheese-making point of view, is their dryness and their scarcely varying temperature of about eight degrees centigrade summer and winter.

CLAYTON Corner Room Hotel Pantall Building, „ THE ORIGINAL AND POPULAR NORTH, ONE PRICE CLOTHIER, At the Del Monto I watch the gradual; change which comes over thoso "auternera" who spend their winters her®, says a writer in tho Tourist. There h a change from year to year. It would, be far more rapid if they should remain all tho time. The step becomes lighter, the eye brighter, the laughter heartier, and slowly, but surely, the subtle esprit which makes Californians of all who come tinder its spell. It is a misfortsn»a» not to be a Callfornian. It is all easy to understand, and that makes it all tho more interesting. Our eastern friends, having devoted a lifetime to a struggle against adverse natural conditions, have a spirit that has been kept down by an iron hand. A residence of a few years in California makes an astonishing change. A load greater than that which Sinbad carried when tho Old Man of the Sea was leglocked round his neck liasbeefi cast off, but nature requires time to adjust the freed slave to his altered conditions. In time comes that peculiar spirit— found nowhero else in tho world— which distinguishes Californians. They aro a people apart from iho great human family—virile, strong, healthy, overflowing with animal spirits, fond of* sports, bent on the fullest enjoyment' of life, broad-minded, generous, hospitable, chivalrous—altogether themiNfc agreeable people in tho world. Some eastern people come to see the Del Monte because they have heard wo much about It. Others come for the benefit the climate offers them—to drink in the perfume of flowers and to enjoy the soft, salt breezes that sweep the Pacific from the Orient and to bask in the mellow sunshine that floods the earth. And how they enjoy it alll Th® charms of nature and the haniliwork of man absorb them and they ticke In health and contentment at every pore. Hut so quietly! Tho vigor, the restless spirit, tho prodigious mental and physical energy that characterize Califarnians are wholly lacking. Hence tho contrast between the winter season of eastern visitors and tho summer season of Californians. Their Vigor, Hestlaia Spirit ud Fro4l(U» Mental and Fbyslesl Energy. The 01d~Tlme Pew. In days of old when much distinction was had in meeting houses the spoiling of our word pew was puo. In French it was puye, in Spanish it was poye, a bench; in Latin it was podium, a balcony or elevated place next to tho arena where tho emperor sat, and in Greek it was pous, tho foot—and in all cases where tho feet of tho worshiper rested—a raised placo on tho floor of the church where ono might sit or might stand or might kneel. In Puritan meeting houses tho choice pews wero round about tho walls, ono step up, and tho deacons' seats near tho pulpit two steps up, and those of tho ruling elders ono stop higher yet.
