‘He Origin or THE Weerrixnc Wittow.—
: Arabian legend of the origin of the weepwillow is curious, but contuins, like most
litions, an anachronisin, if we accept the
ows of Babylon ns tho weeping willow, but
Arabians are much better raconteurs than
anists ; soit will not do to apply too severe
stentitic test to thetr accuracy. ‘Whe legend
la that after David had warried Dathsheba,
wag one day pluying ou bis hurp ia his priechamber, when be found two strangers .
hosite to him, although he had given strict
era that no onc should intrude upon lis prily. These strungers were nogels who conted hin of lus crimo in nearly the same
aner as is related in holy writ. David then
ognized in the strangers the nugels of the
rd, and was sensible of the heniousness of
offence. Torthwith he threw hinself on
floor and shed tears of bitter repentance ;
re he luy upon his face for forty days and
y nights, weeping and trembling before the
gmeut of the Lard. As many tears of retance as the whole human raco havo shed
will shed on account of theirsius from the

David weep in these forty days. all the

the ground, there sprang up two trees, the
ping willow and the frankincense tree: the

The relative grinding capncities of “The Exccisior” Grinder
and Amalgamator, ol the Flat Bottomed Pnn, und of the Couical
Pan when properly constructed, arc respectively 177, 98 and 110,
That is, ihe respective mulicrs being of the same diameter,
same weight, same hardness, aad raauing at the saine velocity,
“The Excelsior Griader and Amnigamuator” will reduce one hundred and seventy-seven tons of ore, the Fint Bottomed Pan ninetyeight tons, and the Conical Pan one hundred and ten tons to the
same degree of fincness in the same time.
The wear to the Shoes and Dies at their grinding surfaces in th?
Excelsior Grinder and Amalgnmator, is perfectly uniform, thu
securing oveaness of reduction to the pulp, as well as steadiness
of motion to the muller. Uaiform wenr of the grinding plates
has been attained in uo other than that of the Tractory form—nor
can it be.
~ Another property of excellence in this machine is that the metal
or substnnce to be amalgamated passes direct from the grinding
surfaces into the quicksilver; thus excluding the possibility of its
becoming coated with any foreigu substances, after having becn
hurnished. It is truthfally said “that the Tractory-formed Pun
as u Grindcr has no equal, and as an Amalgamator no superior.”
As a whole, it is far superior to any other pnn in use.
