Glachet lias his house nicely lighted up with gas of his own manufacture, though as yet his apparatus is of rather a rude character. A common stove with a round hole in its front, into which is inserted an iron retort, is the furnace ; two small ice cream freezer ß filled, one with water, the other with a solution of lime, serve as purifiers while one large tin oil-barrel inverted into a larger one filled with water, and working with weights arranged from the ceiling, does duty as a gas-holder. Yet with these simple appliances a full supply of excellent gas is obtained, and no gas bill to pay. Of course the gas cost something, but, it is very little The fire which cooks the dinner makes it, and the coal of which it was made leaves coke to assist in making gas the next day. Against the only possible danger which could be apprehended— the clogging of the pipes—Mr. Glachet has provided by attaching to the retort a safety valve opening iuto tbe stove, which it then assists in heating. When this apparatus comes into market gas companies will have to abate something of their charges, or every man will soon have liis own gas bouse. — Alex andrir Gazette. .a. nEMOGRATia newspaper. BUENA VISTA, MARION COUNTY, GA., OCTOBER 39, 1575, pUvavy gqnul ment, HOW JACK LOST HiS POSITION. “Well, iny little man, you are here on time, I see,” said Mr. Jones t" Jack‘Knowles as he stepped into his store one morning; “that is a good beginning, and I hope you will al ways be prompt in meeting every en gagement, and energetic in attend ing to your duties.” “I will try to be both, sir,” Jack answered; and just at that moment tie thought that nothing could tempt j him to break any part of his word. ‘ ‘Cotno this way, and I will tell you what you have to do.” Mr. Jones then led him into his counting room, and kindly placed his hand on his head while lie said: “Now, Jack, you know the bar gain between your mother and my selHs, that you come into my family as my own child. Do whatever I ask you to do, quickly and cheerfully, and try to make yourself useful all the time. You wdl be expected to run errands, such as carrying small packages homo for customers, going to tbe post-office, delivering messa ges, and assisting the clerks in what ever way you can. In return, I ex pect to clothe and feed you, send you to school during the winter months and, if you prove yourself worthy, will advance you in your position in the store. Really Ido not need a boy, but I do this for your mother’s sake. Do you agree to the terms ?” “Yes, sir, and I am verN grateful to you—indeed I am—and you shall see by my work how much I love my mother and you.” Jack spoke these words earnestly. He meant all he said. “I believe you, my boy, and will do all I can to help you keep your good resolutions.” ‘ ‘Thank you, sir.” “Your place will be in the sales room; remember to help all you can.” “I will, sir. You may depend on me.” Mr. Jones turned to his desk, and Jack hastened to do something, to show Mr. Jones how desirous ho was to please him, and how nicely he would do his work. In an hour or two the room began to fill with customers, and soon all the clerks were busy as they could be. Jack was nearly everywhere, with his pleasant “Let me help you, please,” and, when night came, all were ready to praise the errand boy for good nature and willing assis tance. That night Jack slept sweet ly. He had done his whole duty. His employer approved his conduct, but, what was better than all, his conscience whispered, “Peace, you’ve done right.” The sun was just peeping over the hills when Jack rose next morning, and as soon as tho store was opened he was in his place. All day, as tho day before, Jack was busy. When the store was closed he felt happy, but his limbs were tired; the work he had to per form was more than lie was accus tomed to do, but ho did not complain. Thus matters went on. Jack gra dually rose in the confidence of all who knew him, and, if a message was to be sent in haste, a package deliv ered promptly, or a check cashed at the bank, Jack was the boy to do it. His word was considered truth itself. One day one of the clerks wished to send a package to the express office. Calling Jack, he said: “Take this to the office, quick; run, please. I want it to go out to-day. and I am afraid you will bc|too late” Away Jack bounded, but had not gone far before ho heard someone shout: “Hallo! Jack Knowles! wait for a fellow. lam going that way.” ‘•I can’t, Bill; 1 must hurry with i his package." “Wait till 1 catch up. Jam going that way.” Bill hastened and came up with Jack, who never stopped until Bill Smith seized him by tho shoulder, saying: “Wait a bit. Don’t kill yourself. Whose is that you got V Where are you going ? What’s the hurry ?” “It is Mr. Johnson’s; I am going to the express office, lam afraid I will be too late; if you go with me you must run.” So saying, ho shook off Bill’s hand and sped away, leaving his companion behind, muttering to himself: “Such a boy ! He’d kill himself, if old Jones or any of them clerks told him to. You wouldn’t catch me work in that way for nobo dy.” Ho turned to find someone who had more leisure than Jack. “Here, sir, please; send this pack age to-day, sir, please,” said Jack to the clerk in the express office, stop ping two or three times to get his breath. “All right; you are just in time, my little man; two minutes more, and the office would have closed.” “Oh, I am glad I didn’t wait for Bill Smith!” he said, half aloud. Then, after stopping a moment to rest, lie hastened back with a light step, feeling that lie had done right, and that this pleasant feeling more than paid for his trouble. “Just in time, Mr. Johnson; two minutes more would have been too lute.” “Thank you, thank yon, Jack; I Till not forget this favor.” “No thanks are due me; I have only done my duty.” A few days afterwards, Mr. Jones called Jack into the counting room and handed him a package, saying, ‘•This was left for you.” Jack open ed it and found a beautiful Bible with his name in gilt letters on the side, while on a fly-leaf he read: “To the boy who is always on time. J.” Tears of joy came into his eyes as he stammered, “I don’t deserve it.” “I am sure I know nothing about that,” said Mr. Jones; “I suppose someone thought you did, or they would not have given it to you,” lie added kindly. “It must be Mr. Johnson,” and he hurried off to find that gentleman, but he was busy and continued so all day. Jack though lie was unusually industrious, for lie could never sec him at leisure, and could not tcli him how much lie prized the little gift. Mr. Johnson read it in his eyes, and that was all the thanks he wanted. Here, Jack, take this check and get it cashed. The amount is one hundred dollars and seventy-five cents. Count the money before you leave the bank. The banker knew Jack; besides Mr. Jones had told him to let Jack have money whenever he sent him, so he had no difficulty in getting mo ney on the check. After it was paid to him, lie stopped and commenced to count it slowly. Don’t you think I have given you tho right amount ? said the cashier, vexed to see the little fellow slowly turning the bills, and counting, Ten, twenty, twenty-fivo, forty-five. Are you satisfied now ? said tlic cashier, with a contemptuous curl of his lip. No, sir; this is not right. Boy ! what do you mean not right ? Yes, sir; not right. I want only cm huudrgd, dollars and seventy-five NUMBER 3- cents, and you have given me one hundred and seventy-five dollars. Impossible! Look and see. He looked and saw that Jack was correct. He then paid him the right iiuiou.fl, saying in an undertone, Whew! beat by a dov ! Jack thought he had done nothing worthy of comment, and therefore, never mentioned the occurrence to his employer. One evening, just before closing, Mr. Jones summoned all the clerks into the counting-room, and then called Jack. "When lie had taken his scat among them, Mr. Jones arose and slowly said: Jack Knowles it is my duty to tell you that you are no longer an errand boy in my store. He then sat down. For a moment Jack was speechless. The eyes of all the clerks were upon him. Sud denly recovering himself, speaking through tears and choking emotion, lie said: Oh, Mr. Jones ! what have I done ? What have I done ? These geetlcmcn will tell you, he coolly answered. Mr. Johnson may speak first. Mr. Johnson arose and said: He runs ail the way to tho express office when there is a possibility of being too late. Henderson said: He is al ways on hand when a package is to be delivered. Mr. Holmes, the book keeper; He helps me post my books at night. Mr. Henley: I heard him tell the cashier of the Union Bank that he hail paid him too much once last summer. Mr. Howe: lie is al ways neat and tidy, and can tie up a package as quick and as nicely as I can’ Now, boy, said Mr. Jones, scarce ly able to keep a straight face as he saw Jack’s look of mingled surprise, joy and fear; you see what you have done, and I say again, we do not want you as an errand boy, but make you a clerk in a department of the store. Then the gentlemen present grasp ed him by the hand and congratula ted him, saying, You have lost one place, but secured a better one. Not many days hence there will be seen the sign, Jones & Knowles, in Shepardsville.

In (lie current number <>f tho Overland Monthly a California ge ologist revciws the geological evi dence of the antiquity of a human settlement near the present town of Cherokee in that State, and es timates the age that most ancient of discovered towns to he not less than one hundred and eighty thou sand years ! The traces in question are nu merous stone mortars, found in un disturbed white and yellow gravel of a subaqueous formation, not fiu viatile, underlying the vast sheets of volcanic rock of which Table Mountain is a part. In some cases the mortars have been found at the dept of forty feet from the surface of the gravel underlying Table Mountain. The distribution of the mortars is such as to indicate with great positiveness the former exis tence of a human settlement on that ancient beach when the water stood near the level at which the^ - occur; a time anterior to the vol canic outpouring which table Mountain records, and anterior to the glacial epoch. The recent geological history of that region may be briefly summ ed as follows: Previous to the placing qf the mi rtars in the posr tion in which they have been found the early and middle tertiary sea level had receded to the position of the coal beds underlying Table Mountain, fully one thousand feet below the level of Cherokee. Sub sequently in the pliocene period, there was a futher subsidence of about fifteen hundred feet, some thing like six hundred feet occur ring after the mortars had been abandoned. All this, as has been noticed, took place before the vol canic outflows which covered up the ancient detritus of that region including that of the ancients riv ers (whose gravels have furnished so much of the gold of California). The geological age of the river pe riod was determined by Lesquer eux from specimens of vegetation, now extinct, collected in the sur vey of the ancient riveis; speci mens indicated a flora of the plio cene age, retaining some charac teristic miocer.e forms. After the volcanic period the land rose again, the time of emer gence embracing the glacial peri od and tho new eroding period in tho sierra, during which the slates, and the hard metamorphis green stone, and the granites were slash ed with canons three thousand feet deep by the action of ice and run ning water. Taking the rates of continental movement determined by Lyell, our geologist calculates that the time required for the chan ges thus outlined could not have been less than eighteen hundred centuries. For a period so long preceding the glacial epoch as tho time when ancient Cncrolcce was buried by the waters of the advan cing sea, his estimate is certainly not extravagant, though it docs transcend so enormously the time men have been accustom to allow for a man’s resident on earth.
