The Alining and Scientific Press,
American Mixixo Stepests in Evrore.
It is said thnt there are now, or wero before
tbe commencement of the present Huropean
war, thirty fice American stndenta at the celebrated scbool of mines in Freiburg—more than
athird of the whole nomber in attendunce.
About half this onmber are said to be hardworking und studious young mou, who appreciate our need of intelligent mining ongiveers
and who are determined to do what they. can
to worthily fill that want. One-quarter of tbe
whole nnmber are taking life easily, while the
other half appear to be profiting but little, if
anything, from the advantages placed before
them. A college at home is bad enongh ; but
an institittion of that kind abroad, and ina
community where little nioral restraint is (hrown
around the young wien, there iz no limit to the
recklessness which may be iadulged in by those
who huve plenty of money and but little selfrestraint. We quote the above from a correspondent of tbe: Chicago Tribune, who bas
recently visited Freiburg.
Otp Mixes Re-Discoverrn.—In Brazil, it
the town of Rio Grand do Sul, old silver mjnes
worked by the Jesuits have been re-discovered,
There are said to be in the Southern part of
California, also, silver mines of the greatest
richness, which were worked before the formation of the Mexican Republic with great results,
all traces of which were’ carefully concesled
when the priests, who had taken the profits of
them were coinpelled to leave the country,
The Indiuns were put under oaths, with fearful
penalties, not to disclose the location of. them.

A Harvestino Macnixe.—Tbe Contra Costa
Gazette speaks well of a new harvesting machine, recently invented by Mr. Dulton, of Pacheco, and designed for reaping, thrashing and
sackiag the grain at one operation. ‘Ibe machine will run with three men and ten horses ;
and, adds the Gazette, thougk some minor difficulties may be looked for on first trial, they
cannot prove so serious as to buffle the resources
and determination of the javentor, who bus set
out with the purpose of surpassing any machine
yet applied to the entire process of harvesting
grain.
A Borixo Macpine.—Edward Duffy, a mechanic of this city, has invented a machine for
ptanufacturing inner and outer window blinds,
which bores 460 holes in a mioute, and does it
better than the same work can he done by
hand. He has applied for a putent for -hia tnvention.
Unprrorounp Rivers.—Uhere are said to
be underground creeks in the limestone regions
of Georgia with currents of sufficient velocity
to curry a mill. There isa Government tannery, the bark mill of which is driven by one of
tbese subterrunean streams,
=
Tus latest Chicago swindling enterprise is.
