Gainesville Advertiser : In a tour late
ly to this noted gold mining centre we
visited several of the most productive
mines, and must say that the very best
system obtains anywhere to be found in
the world. As a proof of which, Mr.
Crisson is enabled to mine and mill ore at
a cost of eighteen cents per ton! In
White county, and in North Carolina,
California and other countries it costs
from si r.o to $2, and frequently, as
high as $6 and $7 per ton. The vein
on the Stephenson Mine has enough
ore “ in sight” (in miner’s language),
to run Mr. Crisson’s mill of 21 stamps
for ten years, above the water-level. The
machinery is of the latest and most im
proved styles, reducing from fifty to sev
enty tons per day. yielding between three
and four pounds of gold per week, with a
preparatory force of ten bands, which
will be increased to twenty or thirty as
soon as they get the water brought on
the mine, and the road and sluices fin
ished. This is the only place in the world
where gold is found in the itacolumite,
or “flexible sandstone.” Preparations are
making to work many other mines, which,
with the Agricultural College, will give a
new start to the business of that neg
lected country.
Silhonette from the Macon Telegraph :
Last week, whilst riding in a city street
car. we saw sitting opposite each other and
vis-a-vis, one of the most opnlent and re
spectable gentlemen of the country and a
big, black, buck negro. The latter was
engaged in the pleasant pastime of dining
u-pon the contents of a large tin bucket.
His huge paws, dripping with dirt and
grease, were plunged time and again into
the mass of greens, fat meat and pot
liquor, and conveyed to bis immense jaws
in utter contempt of knife, spoon or
heathen chop-sticks. The cavernous
mouth, armed with its gleaming ivory,
worked like a steam engine, emitting
sharp, sucking sounds like a hog drinking
from the swill-tub. His eyes rolled in
sensual phrenzy, and the entire counten
ance of the African animal, as the gorg
ing process went on, was indicative of in
tense pleasure and bestial gratification.
Some half dozen of our best citizens, in
cluding ladies among the number, re
garded with ill-concealed disgust this re

t’.ie paroquet that sang the contralto fin
ished the allegro in the “Salutation to
the Moon,” such was the enthusiasm, the
shouting and applause at hearing a bird
sing the “Casta Diva,” that the bird
company, affrighted, took flight and
sought refuge among the side scenes.
This interrupted the performance for fully
a quarter of an hour, and Signor Contrarini
had to tranqnilize the “artists” by giving
them bread soaked in wine.
Thenceforth the expressions of appro
bation were moderated in order not to
spoil the play. It appears that the bird
artists have now become accustomed to
the applause. The correctness and pro
priety with which they give certain parts
of the opera are wonderful. The piano
tenor possesses all the airs and graces of
the school of Mario, and the ladies of
Lima have named the prima donna Patti.

TBOUBLE IN HAVANA.
Havana, February 13.—A mob of sev
eral hundred men marched towards the
Captain-General’s palace last evening, de
manding the government to send into the
field the entire battalions of volunteers
with their own officers, instead of one-
tenth of a battalion as ordered in Jo-
vellar’s recently published decrees.
Mounted police dispersed the rioters.
There were no casualties. The Captain-
General to-day quartered a detach
ment of gens d’armes in the barracks
opposite the Palace. The police have ar
rested Satnmino Martinese; editor of the
Union, a workingman’s journal, and a
priest named Castro. Both were sent to
Morro Castle. They are known to be
strong Republicans, and are reported to
have been connected with yesterday’s de
monstration. It is stated that the draft
will be carried out within twenty days.
The city is now quiet, but further trouble
is feared.
The Cuban agent of the United States,
Borneo, officially denies the truth of the
report that the steamer Kansas took
soundings of the harbor while recently
lying at that port. The Aarapiles is
leaking badly, and will probably go to
Montinique to be docked.
Santa Anna arrived in Havana yester
day from Nassau, en route to Mexico. He
returns to Mexico under Lerdos’ procla

the contents burned and structure, con
sisting of pictures, mirrors, five hun
dred carriages and a vast amount of other
goods of various kinds, is estimated at $1»,-
000,000. Five houses and several large
stables adjacent were partially destroyed.
There were a number of accidents. Two
firemen were killed. The fire attracted
an immense and unruly crowd, and it be
came necessary to coll out the military to
preserve order.

In her entertaining book entitled “Ten
Years in Washington,” Mrs. Mary Clem-
mer Ames gives personal sketches of the
women who have “done the honors” at
the President’s mansion, from Mrs. Abi
gail Adams, of the revolutionary period,
down to Mrs. Grant. The following no
doubt truthful sketch of Mrs. Lincoln
will be read with interest:
A single month, and the President’s call
for troops to protect thp capital had pene
trated the remotest hamlet of the land.
All the manly life-blood of the nation
surged toward its defence. All the heart
of its womanhood wentnp to God, ciying
for its safety. In the distant farm house
women waited, breathless, the latest story
of battle. In the crowded cities they
gathered by thousands, crying, only “Let
me work for my brother; he dies for me!”
With the record of the inarch and the
fight, and of the unseemly defeat, the
newspapers teemed with gossip concern
ing the new lady of the White House.
While .her sister women scraped lint,
sewed bandages, and put on nurses’ caps,
and gave their all to country and todeath,
the wife of its President spent her time
in rolling to and fro between Washington
and New York, inteiit on extravagant pur
chases for herself and the White House.
Mrs. Lincoln seemed to have nothing to
do but to “ shop,” and the reports of her
lavish bargains, in the newspapers, were
vulgar and sensational in the extreme.
The wives and'daughters of other Presi
dents had managed to dress as elegant
women, without the process of so doing
becoming prominent and public. But
not a new dress or jewel was bought bj
Mrs. Lincoln that did not find its way
into the newspapers.
Months passed, and the capital had be
come one vast hospital. The reluctant
river every hour laid at the feet of the
city its priceless freight of lacerated men.
The wharves Were lined with the dying
and dead. One ceaseless procession of
ambulances moved to and fro. Our
streets resounded with the shrieks of the
sufferers which they bore. Churches,
halls and honses were turned into hos
pitals. Every railroad train that entered
the city bore fresh troops to the nation’s
rescue, and fresh mourners seeking their
dead, who had. died in its defence.
Through ail this Mrs. Lincoln “shopped.”
At the White House, a lonely man, sor
rowful at heart, aiy» c Weighed down by
mighty burdens, bearing the nation’s fate
upon his shoulders, his wife, during all
the summer, was at the hotels of fash
ionable watering-places. Conduct com
paratively blameless in happier times, be
came culpable nnder such exigencies and
in such shadow. Jarred, from the begin
ning, by Mrs. Lincoln’s life, the nation,
under its heavy stress of sorrow, seemed
goaded at last to exasperation. Letters
of rebuke, of expostulation, of anathema
even, addressed to her, personally, came
in to her from every direction. Not a
day that did not bring her many such
communications, denouncing her mode
of life, her conduct, and calling upon her
to fulfil the obligations, and meet the op
portunities of her high station.
To no other woman of America had
ever been vouchsafed so full an opportu
nity for personal benevolence and phi
lanthropy to her own countrymen. To
no other American woman had ever come
an equal chance to set a lofty example of
self-abnegation to all her countrywomen.
Bat jast as if there were no national peril,
no monstrous national debt, no rivers of
blood Sowing, she seemed chiefly intent
upon pleasure, personal flattery and adu
lation; upon extravagant dress and cease
less self-gratification.
Vain, seeking admiration, the men who
fed her weakness for their own political
ends were sure of her favor. Tims, while
daily disgracing the State by her own ex
ample, she still sought to meddle in its
affairs. Woe to Mr. Lincoln if he did
not appoint her favorites. Prodigal in
personal expenditure, she brought shame
upon the President’s house, by petty
economies, which hod never disgraced it
before. Had the milk of its daily been
sent to the hospitals, she would have re
ceived golden praise. But the whole
city felt scandalized to have it haggled
over and peddled, from the back door of
the White House. State dinners could
have been dispensed with, without
word of blame, had their cost been con
secrated to the soldiers' service; but
when it was made apparent that they
were omitted from personal penurious-
ness and a desire to devote their cost to
personal gratification, the public censure
knew no bounds.
From the moment Mrs. Lincoln began
to receive recriminating letters, she con
sidered herself an injured individual, the
honored object of envy, jealousy and
spite, and a martyr to her high position.
No doubt some of them were unjust, and
many more unkind; but it never dawned
upon her consciousness that any part of the
provocation was on her side, and after a
few tastes of their bitter draughts she
ceased to open them. Even death did
not spire her. Willie Lincoln, the love
liest child of the White House, was
smitten and died, to the unutterable grief
of the father and the wild anguish of his
mother. She mourned according to her
nature. Her loss did not draw her nearer
in sympathy to the nation of mothers
that moment weeping because their sons
.were not, It did not lead her in time to
■ minister to such, whom death had robbed
and life had left without alleviation.
She shut herself in with her grief, and
demanded of God why he had afflicted
her ! Nobody suffered as she suffered.
The Nation’s House wore a pall, not for
its tens of thousands of brave sons slain,
but for the President’s child. The
Guests’ Room, in which he died, Mrs.
Lincoln never entered again; nor the
Green Room, wherein, decked with flow-
ei.s, iis fair young body awaited bariaL
, In the same way, Mis. Lincoln bewept
her husband. And there is no doubt but
that, in that black hoar, she suffered great
injustice. She loved her husband with
the intensity of a nature, deep and strong,
within a narrow channel. The shock of
his untimely and awful taking-off, might
have excused a woman • of loftier nature
than her for any accompanying paralysis.
It, was not strange that Mrs. Lincoln
1 able to leave the White Hoose for
after her husband’s dea£h. It
ive been stranger, had she been
able ta have left it sooner. It was her
misfortune, that she had so armed public
syrapatiiy against her, by years of indif
ference to the sorrows of others,
quite sufficient to acurajit for all its miss
ing treasures, jr , f y i q i :jy ■ -■
The public also did Mrs. Lincoln
justice in considering her an ignorant and
illiterate -woman. She was well- bom,
gently reared, and her education above
the average standard given to girls in
her youth. She is a fair mistress of the
French language, and in Eiglish can
write a more graceful letter than one edu
cated -woman in fifty) ) She Has q&ick per
ceptions, and an almost unrivalled power
of mimicry. The only -amusement of
her desolate days, while shut, up from
the world in Chicago, when, she refused
to see her dearest friends, and took com
fort in the thought that she had been
chosen as the object of pre-eminent af
fliction, was to repeat, in tone, gesture
and expression/ the words, ■ actions
and looks of men and women, who,
in the splendor of her life in
Washington had happened to- 1 of
fend her. Her lack was not a lack of
keen faculties, or of fair culture, but a
constitutional inability to rise to the ac
tion of high motive in a time when every-
true soul in the nation seemed to be im
pelled to unselfish’ deeds for its rescue.
She was incapable of lofty, impersonal
impulse. She was self-centered, and
never in any experience rose above her
self. According to circumstances, hyr
own ambitions, her own pleasures, her
own sufferings,' niade the sensation which
absorbed and consumed every other. As
a President’s wife, she conld not rise above
the level of her nature, and it was her
misfortune that she never even approached
the bound of her opportunity.

English Manufactubebs in the United

Secretary of the Treasury, that a number
of prominent English manufacturers con

“There is nothing,” says a Boston
journal, “which will Mil a man so quick
as whisky.” Then, whisky must be even
more deadly than nicotine, of which it is
said by a Western paper that a single
drop on a dog’s pose will kill a man in
three minutes.
ce to the sorrows of others, that
when her own hour of supreme anguish
came, there were few to comfort her, and
' > assail. She has made many un
innovations upon the old, serene
sly regime of the President’s house,
reign of coneord, in her best day,
in her hour of affliction it degenerated
into absolute anarchy. I believe the long
time steward had been dethroned, thnt
Mrs. Lincoln might manage according to
her own wilL At any rate, while she was
shut in with her woe, the White House
was left without a responsible protector.
The rabble ranged through it nt will.
Silver And dining-ware were carried off,
and hape never been recovered. It was
plundered, not only of ornaments, but of
heavy articles of fnmiture. Costly sofas
and chairs were cut and injured. Exqui
site lade curtains were tom into rags, and
Toff in pieces.
ie all this was going on below, Mrs.
Lincoln, shut up in her apartments, re
fused to see any one but servants, while
day after day immense boxes, containing
her personal effects, were leaving the
White House for her newly chosen abode
in the West. The size and number of
these boxes, with the fact of the pillaged
aspect:of the White House, led to the
accusation, which so roused public feeling
against her, that she was robbing the
Nation’s House, and carrying the national
property with her into retirement. This
accusation, which clings to her to this
day, was probably unjust. Her personal
effects, in all likelihood,'amounted to as
much as that of nearly all other Presi
dent’s wives together, and the vandals
who roamed at large through the length
and breadth of the White Home wen;

A controversy has arisen between the
States of Ohio and Indiana of such a grave
character that a resolution has been of
fered in the Ohio Legislature appealing
to the United States to interfere and com
pel the sovereign State of Indiana to
fulfill her contracts. The casus belli may
be thus stated: In 1821 Congress au
thorized the State of Indiana to construct
a canal through the public lands from the
Maumee river nt Toledo, in Ohio, and the
navigable waters of the Wabash river,
and in 1827 Congress granted a strip of
land five sections wide to aid in the con
struction of the canal. This grant was
to Tniimim and the canal was to remain
“forever a public highway.” Indiana
subsequently appealed to Ohio to take
the job of constructing the eighty miles
of canal in that State off her hands, tak
ing the proportion of the land-grant for
that purpose, and after long delays Ohio
consented, and became the proprietor of
that end of the canal extending from To
ledo to the Indiana State line. Ohio
spent $3,000,000 of money. Terra Haute
was then the head of navigation on the
Wabash River, and Indiana, after a severe
struggle and at the cost of an enormous
debt, also completed her end of the ditch,
four feet deep and forty feet wide. Under
this debt the State labored hopelessly for
many years, and finally compromised
with the bondholders, giving them fifty
per cent, of their debt in cash or new
bonds, all of which have been since paid,
and the canal! Ohio, on the other hand,
leased her part of the canal at a nominal
rent on condition that it 'be kept in re
pair. Owing to the introduction of rail
ways, the holders of the Indiana end of
the canal have been unable to get enough
out of it to keep the concern in order, and
therefore have practically abandoned
it. The Indiana part of the ca
nal has thus partly filled up—it
never was very deep—and Ohio finds her
self with a piece of canal leading no
where. The lessee of the Ohio end has
recently given up his lease. Some few
years ago, Ohio notified Indiana that
when the two States united in the cana!
job, there was a formal contract that each
party was to maintain and keep in repair
its portion of the canal. To this notice
Indiana made response that such an agree
ment and contract was prepared and sub
mitted to ratification to the Legislatures
of the two States; that the Legislature of
Ohio ratified the contract, but that there
is no record that the Legislature" of In
diana ever did. Now, the Legislature of
Ohio proposes to ask the United States to
compel Indiana to repair the highway.
Indiana has disposed of her interest in
the canal, and does not propose to do any
thing of the kind.
This is the inter-State controversy as it
appears on the surface. But there is
something underneath. The bondholders
who took the Indiana Canal in part pay
ment of their debt thought at the time
they had made a good thing of the bar
gain, but it has proved a total loss. They
have been for several years urging the
State to take the canal back and give
them State bonds for it, to the amount,
perhaps, of two or three millions of
dollars. The State, however, has refused
to do’ so. Now it has been discovered
that a “water route” from Toledo through
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois to Missouri,
would be just the thing to break down
railroad monopoly, and therefore they
propose that Congress shall construct
such canal by an appropriation
from the National Treasury, of course
buying the present^ canal through Ohio
and Indiana. The old bondholders of In
diana are perfectly willing to contribute
to break down the railroad monopoly by
selling their abandoned ditch to the
United States. Congress may also' v pur-
chase the Ohio canal at a reasonable price.
Then, by enlarging and reconstructing
them, and extending the canal to the Mis
sissippi river, a great inter-continental,
isothermal, anti-monopoly highway can
be famished, to supplement the James
Riverand Kanawha enterprise. To get the
money to do this, all that is needed is to
print that amount of additional green
backs. The “war” between Ohio and. In
diana, upon investigation, will turn out
to be a mere cover of a job to sell two
worthless and abandoned canals to the
Government—Chicago Tribune.

The Next Pope.—The Franco Italian
Correspondence of Rome, speaking of the
policy of the great lay powers during the
election of Pio Nino’s successor, says:
It is quite true that, on the initiative of
the cabinet of Berlin, a semi-official ex
change of ideas took- place before and
after the publication of the bnll in the
Cologne Gazette between Germany, Aus-
tro-Hungary and Italy in reference to the
more or less near vacancy in the Holy
See. But we can contradict in the most
formal manner, at least as regards the
Roman cabinet, that any accord was es
tablished, or conld be, between those
three powers on that grave subject.
While admitting that the peace of the
world might be endangered by the future
pontifical election, the Italian govern
ment decided upon not following Ger
many in the preventive measures she
proposes, and categorically refuses to
pledge itself by a collective declaration
not to recognize a Pope elected under
other conditions than those which have
hitherto been adopted.
The thesis sustained by Italy in those
diplomatic interchanges of views—a doc
trine which appears to be approved by
the Vienna government—is that the sup
pression of the temporal power has re
moved from all States any reason for in
terfering with the conclave, and that the
successor of Pius IX, who, as King,
would have fallen under the governmental
action of Europe, reduced to the part of
pontiff, can only interest Catholic con
sciences, those latter alone having the
qualifications to decide os to the legiti
macy of the choice and the chosen.
Several Chinese Borneo.—San Fran
