Ill suceess sonm-times arises from a@ superabandance of quaulitics in themselves good —froin a conscietice tua sensitive, n taste too fustidious, a self-torgetfulness too romuntic, a inodesty too retiring.

Noesourt has been, or will be, spared to Lave them constracted In the most perfect manner, and of the great number now In operation, not one has ever reuired repairs. The constant aud inercasing demand for thein js suticient evidence of their merits, They are constructed so asto apply steam directly Into the pulp, or with steam bottoms, as desired. This Amalgamator Operates as Fallows: The pan being fled, the motion of the muller forces the pulp to the center, where Itls drawn down through the ate erture and between the grinding surlaces. Thence it Ig . thrown to the periphery Into the quicksilver, Tbe curved Plaies again draw itto the ceuler, whercit passes down, and tothe circumfereuce as belore, Thns itis conslantly passing In a regular flow between the grinding surfaces and nito the quicksilver, until the ore 1s reduced to an impalpable powder, und the netal amalgamated. Sctlers made on the same principic excel ail others.— They bring the pulp so constandy nnd perfectiy In contact with qnicksllyer, that the particles xre rapidly and completely absorbed.
