At midnight we rati into the channel between the is lands of Santa Maria and San Mig uel, two of the Azores group. At daylight the former island was thirty miles to the southward and the latter ten miles North. Santa Maria, in the hazy distance seems merely a lump of an ill-defined shape and equivocal hue, neither lofty enongti to suggest grandeur and sublimity like the cloud-piercing Teneriffe, nor so low-lying and "fer tile in appearance as to be associated in ones mind with the verdant palm groves, and .spicy zephyrs of the lux uriant coral islands of the Pacifiic. wrought iron biscuit for ninety days or so, they yearn for something more substantial than a feast of the optics. The knowledge that these ocean gems abounded in tropical fruits without being able to do anything more than lie off eight miles in the broiling sun and look at them was rather too much after the Tantalus style to be endured. Accordingly, in the hope of attracting a bum-boat, I set our colors, forgetful of the international maritime regulation which prohibits vessels showing their colors when off a port unless desiring official assis tance. Shortly after hoisting our flag we discovered through our glasses, a tiny boat pull off from Flores and head towards us. We rejoiced in our hearts and "got away with" a quan tity of fruit iu our imagination. Af ter two or three hours had elapsed I was summoned on deck by the an nouncement that the boat was along side. I went, steeling my heart for an exciting argument with the supposed pomological pedlers over the value of 'heir merchandise, which 1 knew would be exorbitant on account of the exertion which they had been obliged to make to reach us.

But when she gets in: she Millepsegate district, mining opera tions were begun a few months ago, by some gentlemen of Bridgewater, N. S., and have been continued up to the present time with encouraging results. A shaft is being sunk at the "Owen" mine cutting three distiuct veins of quartz, measuring 5, 9, and 15 inches in width respectively, and through which coarse free gold is plen tifully disseminated. No machinery has, as yet, been erected on this prop erty, but we are informed by a gentle man recently from a mine, that about 6 tons ef selected quartz taken from the shaft had been crushed, and pro duced no less than within a fraction of 100 ounces of gold. If the quartz was all rich as specimens from the mine forwarded to this office, and said to be fair average samples, such a re sult might not unreasonably be expec ted. On the opposite side of the lake, about three-quarters of a mile from the "Owen" mine, on a property known as the "Birch Brook," several openings, of about 8 feet in depth, Dave been made at intervals on a few of the crew who made their wav iu lead extending over a distance of 800 fety southward over the ice fielda, coming at lengtu upon a t noe or lnuians who fed and cared tor them until they were rescued. In appreciation ef the services of these indians, the govern ment supplied Lieut. Stoney with large stores of presents to take hack to their settlement and distribute among them. Char.

Work on this property was suspended last autumn, pending the erection of crushers and other machinery in the spring, when it is expected that mining operations will be vigorously resumed, and it is predicted that as greater depth is reached at "Birch Brook" and the "Owen" mines they will develop into very valuable properties, capable of yielding gold in large quantities at small cost. It is not improbable that the "Millepsegate Gold Field" will rank high among the gold producing districts of the Province of Nova Scotia. Canadian Mining Review.

The existeuce of gold in the quartz veins distributed through Lunenburg county was made known some twenty years ago, but before any practical devtlopmeut of the lodes had indeed . been accomulished mining operations t . When men ceased, owing to the causes aireauy then they dropped the word Demo - a crat and called themselves "llcadj lis ters." In progress of time they reach ed the stage where they were content to be known as "Readjuster Repub licans," and now Mahone and those who still follow his lead proclaim themselves "the Republican party in Virginia." By this course, in the short space of four yours, good Demo crats have by a process of evolution been converted into Republicans. This history of affairs over the border should warn our friends who are in clined to co-operate with the Republi cans under the specious name of "Liberalism," what their political end will be. They will drift into the camp which was once honored by the presence, of the scalawag and of the carpet-bagger. One of the leaders of the scalaweg party in Virginia to day is W. C. E!am the editor of the Richmond Whig. And this is how he wrote of that fraternity a few years ago. The article is to be found in the Southern "Magazine;" Editor Elam then wrote : "Scalawags are verminous, shabby, scabby, scrubby, scurvy cattle. Therefore there is a manifest fitness in calling the native Southerner, of white complexion, who adopts the politics of the Radical party, a Scalawag. It is not so much because he is for negro equality and all that stuff, that he is.aiid should be called a Scalawag, but because he renounces all his previous professions and practices, slinks from his own color and kindred, and foregathers with dirty freedmen, to gain whose favor and votes he maligns all res pectable citizens and incites colored rabble -to all sorts of absurd pretentions, or worse, to deeds of vio lence and blood. I propose to give here a brief biographical sketch of the Scalawag an.f I shall take for my purpose by no means the worst sort of the drove. It is to be understood that the scalawag is chiefly detestable "be cause he renounces all his previous professions and practices, slinks from his own color and kindred and fore gathers with dirty freedmen, to gain whose favor and votes he maligus all respectable citizens," fec. This is what Mr. Elam says, and we suppose he knows all about it. His notice reads like an autobiography. To use a colli quial expression, "lie has been there himself and knows how deep it is." Whether Mr. Elam is accurate or not tiie North Carolina "liberal" is very apt to find out by his own experience. News-Observer.
