The name of the writer, Mr. MeCand

article concerning the Crowell mine, in
last paper. It should have appeared over
his signature. They are doing purely a

Sinking the Brandreth shaft, with the
hope of coining into the intersection of
the lodes on the Hill. Some new machin
ery is being pureed. Mr. McCaudless
knows how to ran a mine, and should
paying ore he found he can treat it suc
cessfully .
Mining in Montgomery county is not
as active as it should be. They have an
abundance of free milling ore, and should
keep their mills goiug steadily. Mr.
Lyon of Tboniasville is developing tbe
property adjoining the famous "State
mine." Mr. K. Dutton of Mortis Moun
tain mine, is hoisting rich ore, showing
free gold. This property is of recent
discovery, aud will, if rightly developed
yield in paying quantities.
The want of railway facilities is the
greatest barrier to mining in that county.
Free gold is found in the grit aud top
soil over a large area of the couUtv. The
amount taken by petty "branch washers,"
amounts to thousands annually ; and
varies with the crops. When the crops
are poor, and breadstuff high, a large
number are forced to "hunt gold" for a
maintenance, and the result is that the
gold crop is best when the bread crop is
poorest.

.This morning when the sun arose, a
lovely vision burst upon our gaze a Ti
tanic Cathedral ! Its massive walls arose
from the sun-kissed waves, Its spires
pierced the fleecy clouds ! It was the
little islaud of Fernando Norhana. A
liliputiau Paradise in the midst of a vast
Sahara of waters, veritably "wasting its
fragrance on the desert air." Almost un
known, seldom seeu by ships, it diffuses
its lovlineas for the benefit of whales,
sea gulls and some 400 Brazilian pick
pockets and ex-politicians confined there.
There are three islands, the largest about
4i miles long and 2 miles broad. It is a
lovely spot, everthing, except that huge
pinacle and its accompanying spires,
being in proportion to the size of the
islaud. Fairy dells, miniature jungles,
little verduetdad knowles, like mimic
mountains, elfin rivulets upon which you
half expect to see nut sliell boats pro
pelled by liliputiau boatmen. The glimp
ses which you catch through' the foilage
of that huge, Brobdiuagian structure,
towering 800 feet above this little Eden,
ouly making the contrast more striking.
The piuacle is called iu English books of
navigation "the Pyramid." The people
who dwell beneath its shadow call it
"LaComponero" ("4 he steeple") which
seems to me far more appropriate. The

It is a mistaken notion that a fine store
iu au eligible location, surrounded by at
tractive signs, is a superior advertise
meut, for the experience of the most en
terprising merchants is that it pays bet
ter to spend . less in reut aud

he understands how to buy, because in

You can't eat enough in a week to last

that plan either.
To make a man realize an idea as you
realize it, is what is necesary to make
him understand his needs. Advertise
ments must aim to place a matter so
clearly before the public that they see it
as clearly as the advertiser does.
Enterprising people are begiuuing to
learn the value of advertising the year

not intimidated by the cry of 'dull times,'

April 8th. The weather during the past
three or four days has been trying. Not
an hour iu the day passed that we were
uot delayed by a down pour of rain, ac
companied by terrific thunder and light
ning, after which the sun shone fiercer
than ever. We have also been threatened
by several water spouts. These are dan
gerous objects to encounter at sea. In
passing over a ship they burst by coming
in contact with the spars and the water
descends upon the vessel in tons. They
are frightful looking objects at night, a
largo mass so intensely black that, it
seems a solid wall of ink.
We have had enough m etiological
phenomena to stock a Weather Bureau.
Thi aerial demoralization is attributed
to our elose proximity to the Brazilian
coast, which is now iu the midst of the
rainy season. Last Thursday afternoon
land in the vicinity of Paraeazbo Brazil
was visible from aloft. Upon heaving the
lead we foiiud 36 fathoms, with coral
bottom. In the evening we tacked ship
and ran out to sea not caring to approach
nearer that treacherous coast daring

dead ahead and we have made no pro-

in 15 or 20 miles of laud during the day and
standing off to sea again at uight. We
cannot clear the point of laud which juts
out at Peruambuco, and know not how
long we may be cornered up here. It is
very disheartening, going over the aatne
ground, or rather water every day with
the consciousness that we are uot getting
ono mile near our destination. The
weather is lovely, as if trying to atone
for its freaks of the past week. The wind
exhibits no such repentant spirit, but
blows with exasperating obstinacy from
the samo quarter. Yesterday wo saw a
Bteainer, the first siuce leaving Boston. We
hear of nations 'whose commerse whitens
every sea. It is the most absurd exaggera
tion. Meeting a ship is au eventat sea.
Day 8, even weeks sometimes pass without
our eyes-being gladdened by the sight of a
sohtarvs ail. lam reading 1 revelyau's
"Life & Letters of Lord Maeauley." I am
charmed with the style, but the more I
road the less favorably impressed I be
come with tlio unofficial character of the
man whose life aud character it professes
faithfully to delineate. There are disa
greeable, not to say ignoble traits which
crop out iu spite of the artful uloss of
favorable prejudice, and which the tinge
of veneration, nay, blind and loving adu
lation running through the book fails to
couceal. His Utters to his fatuity those
recipients of a man's inmost thoughts,
aud unerring draughts of bis private
character, distinctly show that he was
deceitful and overbearing, ungenerous to
his enemies even after their defeat. That
he was supercilious is undeniable. He
had no sympathy for those whose intellec
tual calibre were inferior to his own.
But when all these faults are enumerated
the fact still remains that he was a very
great man. The pleasure which present
and future generations will derive from
the fruits of his gigantic intellect is ouly
to be compared to the good which the ex
ample of his noble and persevering career
of disinterested statesmanship will bring
to students of his life and times. We
could well afford to exchange several

April 15th. If I had not registered a
solemn and irrevocable vow concerning
the production of at lease oue page of this
journal per week, the last seven days
would have received the same honor ro
these pages that was vouchsafed Doge
Marino Faliero in the Dncal picture gal
lery at Venice. To say that the week re
sembled all the rest would not be strict! v
true, nor would it give a Just conception
of its utter destitution of variety. Were
I a disciple of Darwin I might take for
my text a handful of sargossa weed and
discourse learnedly on tbe maimers, cus
toms and political economy of its micro
scopical inhabitants, or dissect a shark
and deliver an interesting dissertation on
vertebrates, etc. These things are void
of interest for me, except that the pres
ence of sea weed is an evidence of the
annoying fact that we are within the pre
cincts of the calm belt, or npon the bor
ders of the dreaded Gulf stream. The
sole interest I take in piscatorial speci
mens is in their relation to the bill of
fare. A poet might find something to
say about the "glassy sea" a vast mir
ror, in which the sea birds by day aud
the stars by uight view themselves with
seeming couipalcency. The only sounds
which break the solemn stillness of this
awful solitude being the listless rustle of
idle sails, as the snowy canvass flaps
backward and forward iu the moonlight
like the wings of some wounded and
helpless bird, and the mournful creaking
of the beams. For three days the weath
er has been calm and hot. The shin
lying almost as motionless us a slumber
ing alligator. "As ldhvada painted ship
upon a painted ocean," amf thestin beam
ing down upon us. We have travelled
on an average, those three days, eight
miles per diem. At this rate of progress
it will take us just GOO days to reach Port
Elizabeth. There is uot a linDle to be
seen ; only a lazy monotonous undulation
which rocks the ship to and fro. We are
uot alone in this weary sereuitv. Far
Away to leeward is a tiny atom which we
know to be another vessel. It is pleas
ant to know that we have human sympa

scious that whatever may be the language
of the people on that far away speck,
their sympathies assimilate with ours,
and that our voices simultaneous! v ascend

Professor George H. Cook, Director , of
the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment
Station, at New Bruuewiek, in the report
of his labor, alludes to the waste in the
use of ntt for extracting the juice, 40
per cent, of the sugar being lost by the
ordinary process. It is worth while to
inquire whether the best mills, from
which the pressed cane comes out almost
as thin and dry as carpenters' shavings,
do uot secure a much larger percentage.
Befoe concluding the report, Professor
Cook refers to the works of the sugar
company in Cape May county, where
964 acres were planted with early amber
and early orange seed, which gave 6,200
tons of topped cane one field of eight
acres giving 136 tons, or 17 ton an acre,
and another of orange cane on 20 acres
affording 259 tons, or over 12 tons an
acre. The purity of tbe juice was re
inarkable for the amount of sugar in 100
pounds of solid expressed matter in a
week's work being as high as 87, and in
one instance 92. The returns show
319,944 pounds of manufactured sugar
and 40,000 gallons of dense syrup. Prof.
Cook, in common with others who have
tried the early ripening kinds of sorghum
expresses strong hope in the ultimate
success of this iudustry, and cites the
fact that some 2,000,000 000 pounds of
sugar are yearly consumed iu this cc tin
try, or 40 pounds to each inhabitant, on
ly one-eighth of which comes from the
sugar cane growing States, as a reason
for giving this industry thorough and ex
tensive trial.
His Happv Familt. There is a family
in Germany each of whose members is by
nature hostile to all the others, aud yet
is known as "The Happy Family," be
cause each one bad beeu trained to respect
the rights of all. The family is described
by a traveler who stopped at a German
inn for dinner : After dinner the laud
lord put on the floor a great dish of soup,
and gave a loud whistle. There came
into the room a big dog, a large cat, an
old raven, and a very large rat with a
bell about its neck. They all four went
to the dish, and, without disturbing each
other, fed together. After they had din
ed, the dog, cat, aud rat lay before the
fire, while Mr. Haven, in his black coat
terwards to believe that everything was , hopped around the room. The landlord
had trained these animals so that not one
hot without trying to prove it. The con
centrated rays of the suu through my
window melted tlie bottom out of a bar
ometer. If the weather had fulfilled the
subsequent indications of that prophetic
instrument Noah's freshet would have
beeu thrown in the shade and Wiggins
amply justified. The Utile flock of Moth
er Carey's chickens r stormy petrels
which attached itself to our vessel in the
Gulf stream still hangs ou. Their power
of flight is something marvelous beyond
conception. Four thousand miles by day
aud night, through storm and calm, sun
shine and rain, they have followed us in
their un weary iug flight ever roaming,
never resting, are thoy really examples
of perpetual motion. One might Certain
ly think so ; but let him visit the Bermu
da Islands during the months of February,
March and April and he will catch them
napping." Hardly napping either, for
that is their breeding season, aud judging
of them offered to hurt any of the ethers
He said that the rat was the most usefu
of the four ; for the noise he made by
tinkling his bell as he went through the
house, drove all the other rats and mice

this and 1891 amount to $336,000,000. In
1891 $23,000,000 more can be paid off.
Then no more fall duo until 1907. So we
have twenty-four years ia which to pay off
$580,000,000. If we could equalize the
payments the annual average would be less
than twenty five millions a year. But in
1907 we will have 100 millions of popula
tion against our fifty-five millions of to-day.
And the burden would be much lightened
because it would be borne by two where
one lias to contribute now. Under these
circumstances we sec ho particlar need for
any considerable surplus iu the Federal
treasury. All that is needed is to be on the
safe side and have a plenty of revenue with
out too much to spare. And so the great
questions for Congress to address itself to
are to establish rigid jqnmuy, lop off ex
travagant expenses and reduce taxation to
the minimum consistent -with a ..sate and
pftfdent administrationiirs. vThis we
are sure Congress will do. But the Repub
licans are very adroiHmd they are working
to prevent any further reduction of taxa
tion until after the Presidential election.

The arrearage of pensions act was passed
in consequence of misstatements. It was
given out that the additional expense would
be about $40,000,000 in all. Had the truth
been known that it would entail a burden
of $500,000,000 w e risk nothing in saying
that it would have received but a slight
support. It was. passed not so much to
benefit the soldiers and their families as to
create a demand for revenue and thus pro
long the apparent necessity for the existing
tariff. Soon afterwards the chief of bureau
ask for a large increase of force say 2.000
additional clerks. This was to expedite
payments. But while he estimated that
last year he would be able to pay out $118,
000,000 for pensions, he really paid out but
$71,000,000. . That was a difference of $47,
000,000. We surmise that he failed to
make t hese payments for a purpose. The
effect of the tax reductions of last year
that are now oing into operation is prur
blcmatical. It is anticipated that there
will be a very considerable decrease in the
revenues. Now, when that becomes appar
ent we predict that the Pension Bureau
will rush its business, and will call speedily
