A Htbeen of this county who knows no- t hint: atout mineralogy though he takes uiucfi interest 111 it, makes a suggestion which strikes us as practical : The De- jartaient of Agriculture at Raleigh has a large accumulation of minerals of differ- -nt kinds wnicn. wncre inev are. ran oe seen of course bv but a small portion of the people of the State, i here are many mineral localities in North Carolina, and manv people believe that they are living on mineral lands, but they do not know by sight the minerals which tney oeueve to be around them, l ne suggestion is that the department send out, on appttca- tion, small specimens of minerals for com- parison taite corunaura ior pmm, Few people know it by sight and a man unfamiliar with it might stumiue over it fvfrv dav of his life and never be attract - ed by it. If he had a small piece of corun- duin AS a mlide he WOllld knOW Other COr- rundum when he saw it. And so with other minerals.

The President has long since resumed his arduous routine of of fice work and hand-shaking. The Cabi net members are all back, as are most of the employes of the different Government offices.
