It is a beautiful and valuable cane, and the presentation was I a very graceful act on tbepart of the gentle men who made it- . - The New Year. Now is ushered in the year of grace, 1878. The great wheel of Time has made another grand revolution, and we find ourselves at the threshold of another year. Another twelye-month has gone by, and "What's past, and what's to come, is strew'd with busks. And formless ruin of oblivion." And so the world wags. Most of us are no better ad no more useful at the com mencement of to-day, than we were at this time last year, and maay of as ate just as thoughtless and just as unconcerned about the moments which are passing away. "Thns we play the fools with the time, and the spirits of the wise sit in the clouds and mock us." An Ingenious Piece of Work, We saw yesterday, at the store af Wittkows ky & Rintels, a beautiful and ingeniously contrived lady's work box, which was made by Mr M C Benson, of this city, and present ed to his wife. Mr B is employed as s pattern maker in the shops of the Charlotte, Colum bia A Augusta Railroad at Columbia. The box is made of 1,628 separate and distinct pieces of wood, the whole top and sides be ing one after another separate piece, some of them so small as to be almost inyisjble to the naked eye. Yet, all are laid with' suck perfect precision, as to form even rows, which, at a little distance, look as if 'the top and sides were grooved. The box is highly finished. -and is one of the prettiest speci mens of its kind that we ever saw. - In its mechanism Mr Benson has displayed great ngenuity. . ' . ' Fashion Notes.

The Opera House Last Night. As was to have been expected, the Opera House was filled last evening with the re finement of Charlotte ; a more cultivated audience has never assembled there, and the success which Mies Katie Putnam and her company achieved, was such as must have been very gratifying to them. Nothing could afford a better field for the display of versa tility than the two leading characters in The Old Curiosity Shop;" and the dualrofo of the "Marchioness" and ".Little Nell," as assumed by Miss Putnam, could not have been improved. Of course the character of "Little Nell" does not strike the popular fancy as much aa does that of the "Mar chioness," for people would rather laugh than be made sad ; but to our mind Katie Putnam's representation of the former is not a whit inferior to her representation of the latter, and as the"Marchioness" she is un approachable. We have no doubt that it is true, as it is said, that she is the only "Mar chioness" on the American stage. There is nowhere in all of Dickens' writings, to be found a more natural or a more interesting character than this same bright, rollicking, ignorant, half-staryed&nd ill-treated ser vant girl; and Misa Putnam lias a full ap preciation of the character which the great author intendedTfo portray. In the other role, all of the sweetness, nobility and self- sacrificing love of "LittleNell," is beautifully and strongly brought out by this brilliant andjeaptivating artiste. Katie Putnam last night strengthened her hold upon the people of Charlotte and it was already a strong one. Her company is a good one. Mr. Pratt made a very creditable Swiveler; Mr. Coon, as Grandfather Trent, was very fine, and the parts of Quilp, Slam, Brass, and Kit, were token with more than ordinary ability. This afternoon we will have the charming play of "Little Barefoot," in the matinee, and to-night the great play of "Jane Eyre," We hop's to see a erowded house on both oc casions. We reproduce herewith, what the Norfolk ;Iandmar,' of the 24th. nit., says of this company's rendition of the last named, drama: , t ''A--::i-i . "Katie Putnam committed a mistake by not , producing ;Jane Eyre,; the Orphan of Lowood," at the' hrst of her engagement. Last night she achieved a, triumph so grand that her reputation as one of the most bril ifamt stars on the American stage is ostab- 1 tithed so far as the opionion of Norfolk aa Portsmouth is concerned, beyonatne snsaow of a doubt. Am LittleNell' the "Marchio ness,". "Fanchon,"! "Josephine,", Ac., she charms every one by her childishness, -vivacity and truthfulness to nature; but as a Jane Eyre she rises to the sublimity Of a noble, pure and glorious1 womanhood. Last night W imDersonation of this character was per fection itself. . In speaking thus' strongly of the rendition of Jane Eyre we do not forget the credit due to those who imMTsonated the other characters. Mr; Sullivan as Lord .Rochester is deserving of the highest praise. -The balance of the char acters were eood we may justly.! use the Stronger terra, excellent.1 Personal. .

It waa in evi dence that the man was from Union county, and tbit he only came to the ciry yesterday morning. The prosecutor did not swear positively to . the man, and the Justice re garded it as a case of mistaken identity and discharged the defendant. A negro,. named Geo. Stowe waa up for striking the handless boy, Henry Wilson, and was fined $2 and cost. Being uuable to pay it, he was placed in the hands of the officers. Before Justice JUcKmeh. Ky,- Lawrence, colored, for forging a note ; bound over in $300. Champion Crowell, colored, charged with complicity in the same matter, was ac quitted. Scott Robinson, colored, a witness in the case, was subsequently -convicted of perjuring himself in his testimony. He swore positively to the handwriting of Crow ell, bat afterwards acknowledged that he had only seen it once. Crowell's counsel, W H Bailey, Esq., asked him- if he could read, and received an affirmative answer. Counsel then wrote on a slip of paper "fiat justitia ritat caelum" and handed it to him to read. Rooinson pondered over it for some time and finally responded that he could only make out the first part of it, and that was "Charlotte, North Carolina." Upon this, J the Justice ordered Robinson to jail, and he Waa started off, in charge of Messrs' King and Seagraves,' When near the jail, he broke from his guard and ran. A ;woman was coming in the direction in which the negro was fleeing, and this prevented their firing at him, in consequence of which he made good his escape. Tom Holly, colored, was before Justice McNisch, for failing to provide adequate support for his family, and was made to give bond to reform his ways. ooxsrcxrcATH) The Mining Interest of This Section. Missss Editors : Believing that any in formation aficting the extensive mining in terests of this section will be appreciated by respectfully offered, hoping it may tend to stimulate a revival of a once prominent, but neglected industry of this State. A recent article published presents a hopeful prospect of future operations, based upon new dis coveries in treating our refractory ores. The mining of metals has alternated between snccesa and failure, but a more promising era is appearing, and mining will be depriv ed of uncertain ties. The mines that dot the country in the West and South were only deserted when the character of the ores changed from "free ores" to "sulpbarets." And while it is true that sulphurets are more valuable in gold and silver than free oves, it is also true that until now no pro cess has been able to treat them with suc cess. It will be good news, then, to owners of mines to be informed that sulphurets can now be treated by a new process with a suc cess so complete that it amounts to 98 per cent., and at an expense not exceeding $2 per ton. Sulphurets treated by this process assay gold at a rate per cent, equivalent to a mint assay of the same quantity of the same ore. And wnat more can be desired or re quired, when we add the fact that the pro cess is capable of utilizing the "tailings" and restoring to activity and prosperity the aban doned mines of the country ? This discov ery 'will be known as Clark's process of de sulphurizing, and ia the opinion of ex-as-sayers and mining experts, its introduction will signal.tbe mining interest out of embar rassment, and materially assist the resump tion of specie payments. Several weeks ago there appeared in the columns of the Obsxk- vxxa communication from a gentleman well known in mining circles, demonstrating the practicability of mining the sulphuret ores of this locality for transportation to Eng land where they can be disposed of at their assay yalue. The estimated expense of min ing, milling and transportation would amount to $15 per ton, and yet leave a mar gin of profit sufficienrly large, on an average grade of ore, to strongly commend the scheme to mine owners and capitalists. But why should time and money be consumed in the tedious shipment of these ores to a foreign country, when they can be as cheap ly, thoroughly and profitably treated at the yery mines from which they are raised ? By the new process of desulphurizing, re cently invented by Mr J H Clark; of Phila delphia, to which allusion has been made, the most refractory ores of Colorado and North Carolina have been, and can be treat ed successfully, 03 per cent, of the gold ex tracted, and at the trifling cost of $2 per ton. The owners of this invention are ready and willing to introduce it into this State upon the very reasonable condition of a re sponsible guarantee to purchase after suc cessful trial. Almost too evident to need repetition is the fact that untold thousands of tons oftoflphuret Ores, rich in the precious metal, lie buried! in our hills within a radius of twenty miles around this city awaiting the application of industry and ' capital, en couraged by this new auxilliary to science,' to enrich its. owners,, revive, business, and bring prosperity to our community. . r - ; v. -.fvi v ; N.
