The aunual custom of celebra ting that significant epoch in the hialory of our country—the 4lh ol July—is indeed filling and appro priate. Every nation has, or should have, such celebratious. They are necessary, almost, to maintain our fellowship of nation ality, to draw us closer together and make us feel our mutual de pendence upon each others sup port and aid during periods ol national calamity. A unity of feeling and a warmer patiotism are fostered by the national cele brations of an event in which all participated and the blessings ol which all enjoy. The day itself is significant, for it brings up memories of a struggle in which force and despotism combatted weakness and valor, and the fact that a nation was rescued from the clutches of oppression, that a people were emancipated from the manacles of despotism, is au oc currence worthy a nation's great est reverence and observance. Let us all, then, whether in a jubilant procession, or alone with home and friends, breathe a spirit of thankfulness that our forefath ers withstood the assaults of tyr anny, and came out Victors from the conflict. Its should be a day of universal rejoicing, for sacred liberty witnessed one of its grand est triumphs and a nation ia en joying its fruition. THE WORK WILL GO ON. Maj.

Wta is Atlanta Com pan j Pre poaaa to 4a with It.-Tbs •- at tad aboaas of the Slip pery Boapstone—A Paying Inveat- Ona of the most important bus iness changes tbsl have taken piece in Atlanta in many e day, sod i change in which tlie great est interest is lelt, is the purchase by a party of gentlemen headed by C. A. Collier, of a very valua ble talc mine, located near Mur phy. N C. But little is known here about lair, and thinking that the peo ple would like to hear something of this particular mine, a reporter of the Constitution called on Mr. John M. McCandles, and learned the following : “As the general impression is that talc is used mainly for pur pcget of adulteration. 1 will give some of the uses to Tnnch it may be applied. Talc possesses proprieties which adapt it to a great variety of economic uses. It is a highly infusible substance resisting perfectly the greatest extremes of tempera ture reached in industrial process. Slabs of it are, therefore, used as fire-stones in hearth, stoves and for register borders and pipe holes, also in tips for gas jets; a very extensive application of the material is opened up in the manufacture of liuings for stoves aud ranges; in short, wherever an excellent non-conducting and boat-resisting material is needed there talc would be applicable. The fine varieties are also used in the manufacture ot porcelian. Talc is readily cut with a knife and is reduced to the condition of a fine white powder with the greatest ease. This powder has a greasy, soapy feel, whence the name soapstone has been applied to the mineral. These qualities, it is evident, render it suitable for diminishing friction, and when ground it is largely used as a lubricant on the bearings ol heavy wheels where the friction is great, lubricating and at the same time by its excellent non conducting powers preventing overheating. Tne various other uses to which it may be pot.both small and great, are almost num berless. It may be used as a filler in the manufacture of pa per, especially also in the manu facture of wall papers and shades of Iht best quai lieo, where a handsome surface is desired. It is very largely consumed in England, especially as a make weight in the manufacture of cotton goods exported to China and other foreign countries. It is also very largely consumed in the manufacture of soaps, not on ly as a filler, but also aa having no mean cleansing properties of its own. It is also the base of nearly all tke face powders and looib powders costing scarcely auything and sold at high prices. Talo is also made into duslless crayons, being far superior to or dinary chalk where a fine white line is needed. Tailors use ii under the name of “French chalk,” “Briancon chalk,” and “Venice talo” in making cloth before cutting. It writes readily on glass, and is used by glaxiers for marking glass before cutting with the diamond. It readily absorbs oil and grease, and is ased in powder for extracting such spots from silk and woolen goods. It is also used in dress ing skins and lenther, in boots and shoes aud forms a large per centage of the composition of va rious patent grease, as axle greases. It is also used in iraitat ing engraved stones, being easily cut and afterwards hardened by heat, when it may be changed to any dasiced color by the use of metallic solutions. This is also the same slope known as the “figure atone” of the Ghuiese, from which exquisite figures and ornaments may be carved. This material ia also very largely used in adulterat ions; though this use of it is to be depreciated ; at II it | ts better that an inert harnile-s material, such as this should he used, than imtut subs l anr s which are poisutiiitii. an ii. jiiti u* Asa proof ol its Harmless nature it is a species ol ear'll etien tty many savage tribes. ) is con sumed in tlie ntaut: ae nre ot candy and is ad<te<i to fl >u' t pul verised sugar, baking as a make-weight and dilwent, doing no other harm to the pur chaser than the harm it does his pockethook.

I *°> gtoidttsbe able to say that Mr. Corcoran lias recovered suf ficiently to \eeck tbe cooling shades of Deer Park bs being un able to stand tbe fatigue of the trip to bis Aisual resort, White Sulphur Springs. For tbe present the President baa discontinued his public re ceptions, owing probably to the average ordeal of such au under taking, with the thermometer dallying with the nineties. It has just transpired that dur ing Mr. Jay Gould’s late myste rious visit to this city, he really did a generous and patriotic aet, for which 1 wish to give him cred it. While viewing Mt. Vernon, where Washington’s remains are entombed, Mr. Gould, teaming that a tract of land contiuguous to the estate was desired to pro tect the property Irom encroach ment, he ordered it bought at his expense for 62,500 the owners be ing Lawrence and Elizabeth Washington, great-grand-nephew aud niece of the first President and presented it to the ladies of the Mt. Vernon Association. The grand jury of the District of Columbia have, in their report presented the Post Office, Treas ury and Interior Department building* as teing in such a bad sanitary condition as to endanger the health and lives of the sever al thousand employed of (hose Departments, and the Govern ment Printing Office, as well as some of tbe ,theatres, and pro nounced nothing better than hu man fire trays. In calling the at<- tentibn of Congress to tbe mat ter, the grand jury will "ay that if a private individual were re sponsible for such a state of af fairs aa this, he would be iudict ed for maintaining a nuisance l'he Building Inspector had this lo Bay on the subject of the Print ing Office. “It is the worst fire trap in the United S ates, and a disgrace to the Government. That building is four stories high, 800 feet long and 60 feet wide, and in the two upper sto ries about 1,500 women work, and yet there is only one Blair way for them to escape by in case of a fire.” Once more the head of the as sassin, Ouitean, bobs up to pub lic view, and will be exhibited in a New York Museum. It is said by those familiar with the cir cumstances that there can be no doubt of the genuineness of this head. The bones of the assassin were articulated and placed in the Medical Museum of the Na tional Capitol, where they still remain, bat it now is divulged, that a doctor severed the head, and perhaps other portion*of (he body, for soeculalive rather than scientific purposes. Pension Commissioner Black has decided to exercise the au thority vested in him by law and to restrict the legal fees in rases of Attorneys for Mexican Pen sion-claims to $lO, though the Saw allows a fee of $25. if such a contract has been made, provided it is approved by the Commis sioner of Pensions. But, Gen, Black thinks tile former fee is enough in snch eases and has is sued an order limiting fees in these cases to thatwmount.

Ihe first step to Ibis end is the Dependent Pension Bill, the next ■ts echo, the battle flag howl, and the third will be tbe conversion of the Grand Army of tbe Re public into a partisan Republi can organisation, to be sounded up by tha nomination of a Milita ry candidate, or a bloody shirt sbrieker. The estimated receipts and dis bursements of the Gonernment in July and August show that there will be a decrease rather than an increase of the Treasury surplus during that time. Afier providing for $19718.000 of the 3 per cent, bonds due July the Ist, the surplus will be about $37,- 000,000. The pension appropria tion of 676,075,000, for tbe fiscal year ending June 30.1887, is al ready exhausted, consequently the Pension Bureau, reports that when the new appropriation be comes available July the Ist, it will draw 612,000,000 for pensions leaving then a Treasury surplus of 625,000,000.
