OS ———————————— 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.

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, MANUFACTURED AT THE Union Iron Works and Golden State Iron Works WHEELER & RANDALL, Inventors, } The undersigued having had several years of experience in practiea quartz mining operations, will ever take great pleasure in furnishing partics interested iu miming and machinery any desired information which they muy possess, WHEELER & RANDALL.
