' Minerals, either common or rare, and in unusually fine crystals, are to be found in the piedmont region lying between 'the Catawba and Yadkin rivers. Being a riativeof this section and an ardent admirer of all the phenomena and beauties of nature, these crystals attracted ray attention in early life, and the collection and study of them, in cluding the beautiful modified quartz fount! herie, convinced me that they werejof mbre "than usual interest. My early experience in the placer mines of North Carolina familiarized me with the occurrence of such rare minerals as mbnazite, xenotime, rutherfordite (ferg;nsonite), zircon, columbite and titanium in this section, and being aware of the fact that these are found itssociated with precious stones in oth er countries, 1 was impressed with-the idea that by making systematic search valuable gems" could be found here; want of time and opportunity delayed the sjsarch, however, until 1874, when I selected this section as the most con venient for my work. The same indi cations cross the State from northeast to southwest; in fact to draw a line on the map of the United States from Pa- Tis, Me., to Gainsville Ga., it is snr prisinjJ to see how near it passes all the known .gem localities east of the Mis- sippi river. Jsly plan of exploring -was to go among thd people ofHhe country and eudeavor to interest them in col lectin' the different crystals found in their re spective sections. This I have found an enlsy matter, especially with the chil dren, as they took hold of the idea read ily: many of them soon became famil iar, with the work, and they not onlv did god service in developing the min eral resource? of the State, but acquir- e.l a knowledge of mineralogy'and nat ural history. - - t DIAMONDS. So far I have failed to find the dia mond here, but I attribute my failure to the want of ii better method of search, as all indications show that it might b2 found m Meciden burg, Lin coln,! Rutherford, Burke, McDowell and Franklin counties of the State. i CORUNDUM GEMS. i - Although I have discovered humor ous localities in Iredell county where beautiful pink and t?lue corundum is found, a faithful search has so far fail ed "to discover the real ruby or sapphire; quite a number, however, have been found in the corundum mines of Macon county. - BERYLS. The first beryl suitable for cutting was found early in 1875 at the locality now known as- the ''Emerald and Hid- denite Mine" It was a beautiful aq uamarine, but only apart of it was suitable for a gem. A few weeks later I obtaineil at this locality my first emerald it was smaU and rather op iqueIhi1' f ne color and the file like markings' on its planes were very distinct. During 1870 I collected two others at the same locality; their -color was pot quite so good as the first, but one of them .was i more transparent. During 1877 Mr. J. W. Miller brought me two emeralds, found oji his moth er's farrnVtvv'o miles northeast of the "Emerald asd Hiddenite Mine;" they were of gdod color and quite transpar ent, bat very rough on the surface. Thispromisin locality is still uiide velorjed. During the year 1883 Mr. J. 0. Lackey brought me thirty-six pmemlds which he foundin a vein of dark mien, on his farm a short distance south west of the "Emer ald and Hiddenite Mine." Their color varivd from light emerald green to col orless. D Parliew found oa his farm, in the Bentley settlement, Sugar Loaf township, Alexander county, vl small emerald of good color and transparency. He sent it to a fricrid in Cincinnati, Ohio. A party who visitel the locality fqrjne found in the same neighbor hood; a very pretty small aquamarine. A Mr. Stafford brought me a fragment of a aquamarine fromv near Duley Shoal, Caldwell county. It appered to have been broken from a 'Targe crystiil iind cut a beautiful; gem.' j - I have collected a number of yellow J beryls on the Price lands uear Poplar Springs, Alexander county. They make very pretty cabinet specimens but are not suitable for cutting. Blue beryls occur on D. R. Lackey's farm, Sharp's Mill, same county, but none suitable for cutting. On January 12, last, a farmer brought raean aquamar ine,"which he found while plowing a field near Little River church, Alexan der county. It i3 the most wonderful yet found" in the United States. It weighs 2o ounces, lias a nne color, is quite transparent and will cut a num ber of fine.gems. It was found in the soil. The surface soil in the locality consists largely of sand, which is prin cipally fragments of opalescent quartz. The subsoil is a very red clay. At my solicitation a mining engineer recently visited the locality and found embed ded in a small boulder ef opalescent quartz a fine crystal of yellow beryl, partlyauitable for cutting, alsoin some of the same boulders unusually fine crystals of black tourmaline. He is of the opinion that these quartz boulders were the original matrix of . the aqua marine. Beryls s iitab!e for cutting have been collected by Dr. C. D.Smith, in Macon county. Mr. Ray, of Burnsville, has collect- ea in i ancey ana iviitcneii counties a number of beryls suitable for cutting. The late Prof. John T. Humphrey found, in Burke county, a crystal of beryl. It nras small, transparent and a remarkably fine specimen. Last year a colored man brought me an : i- t 3 if ' aquuuKti iin; no luuuu near rvings Mountain, Cleveland county. It is partly suitable for cutting. I also col lected other beryls, valuable as crys tals; some of them unusually interest- mg. HIDDENITE. The first crystal of this gem was found in April, 1879, at the "Emerald and Hiddenite Mine." I had previ ously found at that locality quite a number of small fragments, but con sidered them fragments of beryL This crystal convinced me, however, that thev were not beryl, but some, other mineral unknown to me. 1 gave some of the mineraltoJPdr. Norman Spang, of Etna, Pa., at the time. It was pro nounced by am expere to be diopside, winch name it carried until an analysis was made by the late J. Lawrence Smith, who found it to be a variety of sponduineue. On September 17, 1870, W. E. Hid den came to Statesville. He was very much interested in my collection of gems .and other minerals, and he-and I visited this locality. We made a bur ned examiiiatioh of it. In March, 1880,- he returned to North Carolina and leased the property, which he after ward purchased, and- organized a com pany and commenced mining for gems. VVork has ba?n carried on at intervals up to this time. The first year a large number of crystals and fragments of Hiddenite that cut fmesems were found and sold at good prices. Others have been found since, and they also were readily sold. iThe demand for good specimens seems to increase. A con siderable numbru of enier.i's have been found in this mine, some of them very fine crystals, which furnish light colored, splendid gems. Although the mine is quite expensive to work, I be lieve the gem-learing rocks to be inex haustible. RUTILATED QUARTZ SAGENITE. I have located this variety of gem stone at a number of places. The first locality which 1 found it was on the farm of Mr. Geo. Wilson, four miles south of Taylorsyille, Alexander coun ty. . This locality yielded only a few good specimens. The best locality is on the farm of Mr. Daniels, in the northwestern part of Iredell eounty, near the lexander line. Good speci mens are also found on the adjoining farm, owned by the Misses Bennett, al so on the farms of Gaston Smith, Thomas Milier and J. F. Adams, in Alexander countv. These localities have yielded about two hundred good specimens, besides-a large number of inferior ones. The pink colored quartz inclosing golden yellow needles of ru tile are the most beautiful. None of these localities are exhausted, and no doubt other in north Iredell and Yad kin counties could be found, as rutile is quite abundant in this section. The late Prof. John T. Humphrey found godd pieces of this gem material in Catawba and Burke countiesj rutile. I I have collected crystals of this min eral from the size of a small needle to over an inch across and varying in col or from a crimson red to bl ick. The localities where it is found are too nu merous to mention here. Sotne of the finest crystals known were found near Crouch's mill, in Alexander countv. It is only occasionally used, j . - j , garnet. j Although garnet crystaU are very abnndant in this State it is seldom they are found sufficiently (pure for gems. I have found a few small frag ments and crystals that were cut and made very pretty gem3; the best are found ner the Taylorsville road, on the Carson place, Alexander county. I have lately leenjinformedthat crys tals suitable for cutting are being col lected in Mitchell and Alleghany coun tics. ameth.st. AmethysU are found at a number of but very localities in Iredell county j few suitable for cutting! . The best are found near Shepherd's Cross Roads and at Amity Hill. I have are.y fine one that was found in Clay jcounty. The late Dr. C. L. Hunter jfound a very fine amethyst near his home in Lincoln county. Jfhe late Prof. J. T. Hum phrey found quite a number n Burke county near the Catawba line. They are remarkable specimens of fine color and full of brilliant needles of rutile. I have in my-ahinet one of the largest of these specimens, which was a present from Prof. Humphrey. QUARTZ. Transparent quartz ran gin gin colr from let black to colorless. included yellow (citrine), is found in a number of localities. AGATE. I The best agates I hate seen in this State were found in the gold placer washings at the Newell mine, Cabar rus county. More common ones are found near Huntersville, Mecklenbursr county. 1 i ZIRCON. . Zicons are found in Iredell, Burke, McDowell, Buucombe and other of the western counties. .Small tians piirent crystals are abundant in the placer gold washings ! of Burke and McDowell counties. Occasionally one is found sufficiently large to cut into a gem. ' SCN STONE. This mineral is found at a number of localities in Iredell county, but .the best occurs in one of the Statesville rock quarries, where it is very abun dant. It varies ili color from crimsou red to golden yellow. The pieces are generally too small for gems. INCLOSURES IN QUARTZ. In addition to the ruttiated quartz already mentioned, there are other ill closures in the quartz found here, which are sometimes used as The inclosures are green mica. gems, green : actinolite, asbestos, tourmaline, hem atite, liquid inclosures, &c. The md- I lhed quartz occurring in this seetion, ! though not classed as a gem, has with in the past few veurs attracted a irreat deal of attention from scientists. Quite a number of years ago I sent speci mens of these crystals to persons both in this country and in Europe who are interested in the study. L. Stadmiller, of New Haven, Conn.j was the first to figure them. He sent the drawings to me, pointed out the most interesting features connected with them. Al though many years of my life have been spent collecting in this section, I am, unable to estimate what f uti r . and more thorngh examination, backed by capital, may develop, i Where the sur face "finds" have been so rich au.d in teresting. no one would venture to pre dict what underground work might de velop. There is a vast territory yet unexplored. The many difficulties which formerly confronted the explor er have been in a great measure over come, and to-day he would find it a pleasant pastime, with every chance of making his work profitable. Gem mining in this section is still in its infancy, but growing steadily, and many new discoveries are being made. The finding of a real diamond at Dv- sartville, McDawell county, in 1SSG, and the large aquamarine lately found near Little River church, Alexander county, was a surprise to the most sanguine. This should clear away any lingering doubts in the miuds of some as to the existence of valuable gems in North Carolina. I am under many obligations to friends and scientists for kind assistance and encouragement in my work. Now let the legislative committee appointed to look into the failure or refusal of certain railroad and other corporations to list .and pay their taxes proceed with energy to execute its commission. There is not a little for it to do and the welfare of the people may be considerably advanced if it acts with prsmptitude and "judgement and without fear or favor We hope for much public benefit from its investiga tions and reports. We hope for a thorough sifting of the matter it has in hand. We hope for a hauling over the coals of all delinquent corporations and a resulting payment into the treasury of the, apparently large amount of taxes withheld through a long series of years. We hope the action against the defaulters will btf short, sharp and decisive. We hope no guilty corpora tion will be allowed to escape Neics- Observer.

SUff Correspondence New York Herald. Washington, Feb. 27, 1889. I have had a long, and I need not add a very interesting talk with President Cleveland this morning. It was really a talk, for Mr. Cleveland objects to- u formal interview. He preferred to chat in a familiar and friendly way about the various topics which involve the national welfare, and then give me a free pen with which to describe both what I saw and wh.tt I heard. As I sat looking out of the south window of the spacious room in which he has worked during the last four years the occasion seemed to have an impressiveness not easily described. But before me sat the outgoing Chief Magistrate of the people while all around were being erected the plat forms from which the incoming Presi dent will be welcomed. From these rooms in one of which Mr. Cleveland sat taking an account of stock, as it were, and with a kind of hurried deliberation closing up the ac counts of his administration that he may hand the balanced books over to his successor how many Presidents have guided the destinies of the repub lic through good and ill report! The ! memories with which the air is redo lent is almost oppressive and they come to mind with such a startling rush of incident tragedy, comedy, melodrama that one becomes almost bewildered. The very walls of the White House resound with the echoes of the past and- the prophecies of the future. What fears, what hopes, what strivings of political partisanship it represents! In an adjoining room, sat Lincoln when the deep rumblings of national dis content were heard, destined to shape themselves into a tornado that swept a million men into their graves. Af ter him came Johnson, who so strange ly bungled the work of reconstruction; and then Grant, with the laurels of many hard-won victories; and last of all Cleveland, whose administration has been marked by a national policy under which the South has lost the bitternpss of the old days and taken on the spirit of unity and the spirit of the Union. These rich memories chased each other through my mind as Mr. Cleveland referred to the last four years, and then declared his hopejhat' the Republican party on its accession to power would pursue no course that !! 1 1 i .l" com. i in anv way renaouitate the sec tional animosities which have been dv ing out. A RELIEF FROM CARE. lhe r resident expressed in unmis takable terms his sense of "personal re lief in view of his release from the cares and anxieties of office. He IS not ungrateful by anv means, he says for the high honor which was conferred on him four years ago, and declares that no man could be indifferent to such an expression of confidence on the part of American citizens. At the same time public office, faithfully administered, necessitates a great many personal sacrifies and an almost appalling amount of hard work. Domestic rela tions are invaded, while accumulating and pressing responsibilities of the most ferious and grave character tax the physical as well as the mental en ergies of the incumbent tojhe utmost lo receive tne presidency or a nation like this is an honor only ecpiialed by the privilege of retiring to private life with the consciousness that he has en deavored to serve the public interests with an eye single to the welfare of the whole people. That Mr. Cleveland has been a rug ged worker and has not spared himself is easily admitted. He has spent him self freely, and given his nights as well as his days to the details of his of fice. Two oVlock, he tells me, is the time he sets for retiring, but it fre quently happens that the clock strikes m it 1 three m the morning oetore lie can leave his desk. Still, he shows no wear or tear. Whether it is that he has a peculiar capacity for getting through with the labors of the day without the usual loss of vitality, or whether his calm temperament enables him to preserve his health in spite of tumultuous sur roundings, it might be hard to sav. The fact remains, however, that he is hardy, sturdy, clear-headed and physi cally unharmed by the constant and persistent strain to which he has been so long subjected. FUTURE OF THE REPUBLIC. I was anxious to know what he would say of the future prospects of the republic. He has occupied a van tage ground from which he could view the whole country and sweep the hor izon from Maine to .California and from the lakes to the Gulf. I therefore led the conversation to subjects bearing upon this question. He spoke with the utmost frankness. He said: "I am a Democrat, with all the word implies. I am. moreover, an in- tense Democrat-in that I believe that the true principles of the Democratic party are essential to the highest well being of this country. "During the war," he added, "the Republican party had supreme and nn ouestioned control of public policy. No one will qnestion the service it render- 1 I ii " i L ed at that time, but the rank and hie of the array was composed largely Democrats. The generals who won renown were also many of them Dem- oerab. While there were among the Republicans a smalL minority of hot heads who found fault with the Lincoln administration, and among the Demq crats an equal number of fossils whose timidity was a natiorial misfortune, the great bulk of the people from Eat to West, without respect to party affilia tions, were solidly patriotic and ready forany necessary amount of sacrifice for the preservation of our institutions. It. Is fplly to claim that the war was fought either by Republicans or Dem ocrats; it was fought by the American citizens of the North. . But it is plain, he said with great se riousness, that nnder Republican ad ministrations there has been given a fresh and dangerous impetus to mo nopolies, trusts and combines. x Im mense fortunes have been accnnmlat- ed, unknown injhedaysof our fathers.! ihey are a peculiarity of post-bell am times, and the control which they ar bitrarily exercise over the cost of ex istence is a direct menace to the wel fare, of the workingmen and of our far mers. iHE BELIEVES IN THE MASSES. Mr. Cleveland has verr decided opinion on this subject. The party, uw uetiares, wnicn willingly encour ages these evil tendencies is not worthy to be called the party, of the people as a Democrat, the President be lieves strongly in the masses, and has a very large sympathy for the working classes. Whatever interferes with their interests interferes with the great ma jority of our citizens. A combine or trust may begin with the single purpose of makinsr money without oppression of the people, but it tends to put the consumers of otir country under tribute to a greedl con stantly increasing. lhe Democratic party must there fore be true to itself whether in.power or out. It must keep itself the repre sentative of the rich and poor alike, and maintain a solid iront against the ruth less encroachments of combined cavi- tal which result in dividing pur popu lation into the-abnormally rich on the one hand and large multitudes of un protected and laboring masses on the other. The country wants more of the spir it of true Democracy, and. the Demo cratic party, if loyal to itself, must win in the long run. There never was a time when wise counsels and harmonious action in the Democratic party were more impor tant to the people of the country tnan now. ' - THE SOUTHERN PROBLEM. On my suggesting the race question in the South, Mr. Cleveland naturally hesitated before answering, because, as he said, it is the most delicate sub ject now before the people. The South has partly recovered from the effects of the war and for twenty years and more has been putting all its energies into the soil and into man ufactures. It has risen from a condi tion approaching ruin to a degree of financial and practical enterprise which renders it in some .industries sharp competitor with the North. The sudden and marvelous recovery of the South in industrial interest is a fact in which the whole nation may well take pride. And this feeling of pride would be universal if the professions so often made of complete reconciliation and a desire to ioin-in a heartv united effort to work out our destiny as a nation are sincere. The new relations between the whites and the negroes at the South are gradually arranging themselves. It must, however, be a work of time and of a long time before an entirely satisfactory result can be reached. While ilr. Cleveland believes that manifest wrongs, either to whites or blacks, should not be tolerated, he has by ho means lost confidence in the fair minded average public opinion of the South to do the-best which tbe circum stances allow. They know the situa tion in all its baarings and to distrust their ability to deal with it is to dis trust their sincerity and fairness. GOOD NATURED IN DEFEAT. When I suggested some question as to thedifference between the incoming and the outgoing administrations, Mr. Cleveland was quick with "an answer. Evidently he is in nowise disturbed by the fortunes of political warfare whicn have betallen mm. lie is oownrignt good natured over his defeat. The people alone, he said have a right to rule the country, and their will is law. There is no appeal from their decision, and there should be none. What they desire they will have, and ought to nave. While the President firmly believes that the tariff reform which theDemo- I cratic partv stands for is for the best interests of tne wnoie people, ana wnue he neither sees nor desires to see the least disposition on the part of the i Democratic nartv to recede from the I positi6n which it has taken, he accepts the result of the election with the pla cidity of the philosopher and the calm ness which the minority should always possess. lhe people cannot be de ceived by false logic in the long run, however. The workingmen seem al ready to understand pretty well the onestion submitted to them at the last 2i.;.n !- of j ne action xf the farmers of the eomitrv nresenU the stranreftt condi tion of affairs which the canvass detel- opetL They do not frein to realize jet how important the qnestion of pjpg immense additions for all ihey use' tip on their fajrnu and all thej wearnpon their backsj is to their prosperity, ii not to their very existence, and how much they are neglected in the distribution of the pretended benefits of high pro tection. Reflection and experience t he hardest! of teachers- most set them right, for tey certainly belong in the ranks of tariff reformers. j ' -Mr. Cleveland has no fear that the Democratic policy of an adjustment of the tariff to the wants and circum stances of those of our people ' who work for their living, with a due regard to all other legitimate interests mna en terprises, will not ultimately commend itself to the A mericair people. , , What will elt the people and make their burdens lighter is what they will have in the end; and there need be no fear that they will not discover the way to this end or that they will fail to attach themselves to the party which contin ently and honestly offers them relief. There wfretpther matters, on which I should hafve "been clad to hear Mr. Cleveland's (opinion, but tre bad. air ready given me more time than could well be spared and I took my leave."' - . - . He Took Glass for Lixneh. Philadelphia North American. MHold on there, man, you'll kill yourself," exclaimed Dr. Shoemaker.in . the receiving ward of the Pennsylrania Hospital last evening as Michael Han ley, a patient, picked np an ordinary tumbler and took a bite from the side. 4That won't hurt me, said the man, . as he chewed and swallowed the class and rolled out his tongue to show that it was not concealed in his mouth. "This is only my usual lunch," contin ued the man as he bit out another gen erous chunk of glass. "This is jsiraply suicide, and yoa can't eat any more," -said the doctort as the man was about starting in on the last section and the fragment was taken from him. "I tell you what. Ill do," said Mike; "111 eat that jar for five rents, and' won't charge you anything if I don't 'teat every bit of it. You'll have to give me plenty of water, though, for that kind of stuff's very sweet, as he picked up a pint porcelain jar ironi ine sur geon's tray j ! "We don't want to see you kill yourself, and, besides,- it wouldn't jay to give you money to eat a inr worm half a dollar," 4 "Don't be afraid of me killing my self. You! fellows don't know my ca pacity. I'll -tell you what I'll do. I'll drink water faster than you can band it tome." , - ;.. "I'll give you a drink if that's what you want," said Nurse McCanft, as he moved toward the cooler, and the man's capacity for drink was tested. McCann i produced two good sized tumblers and started the water. Han ley drained the glasses aud landed them back as fast as they could be filled, until seventeen had been empti ed into his capacious maw, and the watering process was peremptorily stopped by the doctor. Mike was then dismissed, and the last seen of him be was trying to borrow a nickel from one of the nurses at the door. 1 Apprenticing Orphans. By request of Judge Graves we copy the taw in this State regarding tbe ap- prenticing of children, which ought to be carefully studied by both parents j and guardians. The law referred to is -section 11, chapter 3, of the 1st yol- !; ume of The Code, which reads as fol lows: . ' The clerks of the superior courts in their respective counties shall bind out as apprentices: 1.
