Ghe Mining andl Scientific Breas.
Kanp Hearrepyess to Cuitpren.—Blessed
be the hand that prepares a pleasure for a child,
for there is no saying when and where it may
again bloom forth. Does not almost everybody
remember some kind-hearted nan who showed
him a kindness in the happy days of his childhood? The writer of this recollects, when a
bare-footed lad, he stood at the wooden fence
of alittle garden, in his pative village, while
with longing eyes he gazed on the flowers
which were blooming there iu the brightness of
a Sonday morning. Their owner came forth
from his little cottage. He was a wood-cutter,
and spent the whole week at work in the woods.
He had come into the garden to gather flowers
to place in the button-hole of his coat when he
went to church. He saw the boy, and, breaking off the most beautiful of his carnations, he
gave it to him. Neither the giver nor the receiver spoke a word, and with bounding steps
the boy ran home. And pow here, at a vast
distance from that home, after so many years,
the feeling of gratitude which agitated the
breast of that, boy expresses itself on paper.
The carnation has long since withered, but it
now blooms atresh.
Tas Risino Guneration.—In the United
States there are about 60,000 common schools,
which are supported in part by the State Treasuary, and partly by school funds nnd school
taxes. In England and Wales there are 46,042 public and private schools, attended by
2,144,378 scholars. In addition, there are 1,545
eveuing schools, which provide for 30,783 children. ‘The number of Sunday Schools is 23,514,
with 2,407,642 scholars. It is estimated that
in England there is a scholar for every 835
persons ; in Scotland about one-seventh of the
people are at school; while in the United
States there is one scholar for every five persons. In Russia only one child for nbout 200
persons receives instruction in school, so that
while at 9 o’clock on every Monday morning
there aro 4,000,000 American boys and girls at
school, there are in Russia only 100,000 eujoying the benefit ot instruction. ‘
A Clergyman in Chicago, last Christmas
morning, missed his stockings, and after a long
search found one on each horn of a new milch
cow, which had been presented to him by his
parishoners, and ornamented in this way to indicate that it was a Christmas gift.

THE EXCELSIOR
GRINDER AND AMALCAMATOR
In the engraving herewith presented, A represents the Rim of the
Pan; B, Muller; C, Legs; D, Cross-Frame;_E, Gearing: F, Screw;
G, Lever; H, Dash-Boards; I, Key; @, Dies; ¢, Shnes, and oy
Openings,
The relative grinding capacities of ‘The Excelsior” Grinder
and Amalgamator, of the Flat Bottomed Pan, and of the Conic:
Pan when properly constructed, are respectively 177, 98 and 110.
That is, the respective mullers being of the same diameter,
samo weight, same hardness, and running at the same velocity
“The Excelsior Grinder and Amalgamator” will rednee one hun«
dred and seventy-seven tons of ore, the Flat Bottomed Pan ninetyeight tons, and the Conical Pan one hundred and ten tons to the
same degree of fineness in the same time.
The wear to the Shoes and Dies at their grinding surfaces in th
Excelsior Grinder and Amalgamator, is perlectly uniform, thug
securing evenness of reduetion to the pulp, as well as steadiness
of motion to the muller. Uniform wear of tbe grinding plates
has been attained in no other tban that of the Tractory form—nor
can it be.
Another property of excellence in this machine is tbat tbo meta
or substance to be amalgamated passes direct from the grindin
surfaces into the quicksilver ; thus excluding the possibility of i
becoming coated with any foreign substances, after having been
burnished. It is truthfully said “that the Tractory-formed Par
as a Grinder has no equal, and as an Amalgamator no superior.”
As a whole, it is far superior to any other pun in use,
