A Biteb Bitten. — There rode into town Saturday upon a lank, lean and unwashed j mustang that apparently hadn't life enough to whisk flies oft with its meager tail, a plain and serious looking youth from the country. He rode along .T street at a jog-trot, mindful only of his own affairs, until Irs was hailed by a smart fellow who imagined that the circum stance of his residence ia the capital city gave him license to poke fan at every who wore homespun' and lived beyond " the limits." lie informed the countryman that his horse's bind leg was loose, that its right ear worked on a ball and socket joint, that its back resembled the Twelfth-street incline, that he could read a small-print paper through the mustang's ribs, and conveyed other fresh and vigorous information to the owner of the animal. Rusticus stood the banter well, and bemeaned himself mildly under the jeers of the "smart man."- Finally the keen one . proposed that the horseman dismount and allow him to tide the brute to death by a gallop of ten feet. No eoon«r offered than taken. " Certainly you can ride the horse ; here it is," and he passed the bridle to his tormentor, who could not now decline his own proposition, and proceeded to mount in -the presence of a curious crowd that had a glimmering of fun to come. No sooner was the Sacramento " wit " up than the animal rose to the serious work of the occasion and the- vindication of his owner. He instantly stood upon bis fore feet, with his heel* pointing to the zenith, while the rider shot over upon his neck and pivoted Ids stomach on the horn of the sad dle. Then the little horse reversed ends, and got up on bis hind leys, while the smart mar. Bat down on the crupper with the force of a trip-hammer and went through other acrobatic evolution*, while the mustang waltzed, and danced, and bounded, and bucked, and went through a variety of circus performances, to the wrenching of the rider* spinal col"mn and the snapping, of hi< head, like a whiu cracker, till he shouted for mercy., "Why don't you ride him ?" cried the owner ; " he'll go, if you bead him the right way." And ■ then he stepped , out and took the little "bucker" by the bridle, and turned his nose up street, which was apparently a signal for a fresh gymnastic exhibition, in which the rider was bounced about like a ball, and his anatomy shaken up until it seemed as if his very teeth would jump out. . At last he man aged to ejaculate a few words and a;-k the owner to take buck the horse. "I've got enough ;■ never »aw such a devilish phi;; '. . Here ; take him. "Oh, you just hold him awhile ; I've got Mime trading to do in the store here," and the countryman made off ; but the practical joker managed to roll out of the saddle and start off in search of arnica and cold cream, amidst the merriment of the j spectators, who looked upon him as a "ter rible example." « Police Court.— ln the Police Court Sat urday, I. S. Brown, of tho Committee on Resolutions in regard to the death of Judge , Conger, reported in favor of adopting the resolutions already adopted in the Superior I Court. The motion was carried, and the j resolutions were ordered spread in full upon | the minutes. Judge . Henry then made eulogistic remarks concerning the deceased. In the case of K. F. Fitzgerald, charged with an attempt to extort money, new trial set for next Thursday : Robert Burns, a windo»- stnasher, waa discharged upon a promise to be a good boy; Mike Griffin, for petit lar ceny, was sentenced to 120 days imprison ment; .Tamed Gray, for being drunk, forfeited a deposit ; William Hogan pleaded guilty of j the same offense, and was discharged upon a promise to abstain ; E. Wallace, alias "Omaha," charged with petit larceny, and Richard Jones with gambling, were dis charged. The case of _ Charles Mercil, the faro dealer, was continued to February 17th ; j •lames Daly, alias "Harris" and Henry | .Davis, were held to answer on a charge of burglary and also for an assault to commit robbery. • .

C. Tenter was thot and danger ously wounded by William Elwood during an altercation between the two. Last night Sheriff Drew received from the Sheriff of El Dorado county a dispatch, requesting him to arrest Elwo id, who is supposed to have started for Sacramento. Elwood is described as 5 feet 8 inches in bight, of light complexion, and his countenance ii ornamented by a pug nose. The Sheriff has notified the police of the " man wanted." Fire Alarm. — Saturday morning an alarm of lire was caused by the burning at a freight car on Sixth street The car had been used for a boarding-house for work-hands, and a stove had been left in it. The fire probably resulted from the carelessness of tramps, who .had been sleeping there. The yard-engine and one of the fire-engines reached the place in time to extinguish the fire before the car was destroyed. j City Payments. — The following sums have been paid into the city treasury for the week ' ending Saturday, February 14th : By W.

A THEATER NOT OFTEN NOTICED. The Chinese theater on Third slreet is now enjoying the successful run of a "Mongol drama. . The management is energetic— it has recently put in a dress circle, the only dis comfort of which is the close intimacy it en forces between .the tops of the heads of patrons and the low roof of the dramatic temple. The seating capacity of the house is equal to 300. It is a thorough leveler, one price prevailing for all seats and " reserves " being unknown. It is accommodating, too, as to hours, for the performance begins at 11 A. ii., and continues . until 4:30 P. M., and being re sumed at 7 P. M. the play is kept bowling along until the market men take up their po sitions on Third street the next morning. The stage is superior to that of the Metro politan, inasmuch as it is devoid of scenery, and the free fancy of the spectator is nut checked by old and woru flats, and tho ever present "drop" with the spectacle of a host of uncurried mustangs dragging wild- eyed ancient* in unheard-of chariots beneath the impossible terraces of a dilapidated amphi theater. The troupe iof thirty artists is de serving ot commendation, because they em ploy no outside agents to hector reporter*, while the management never dreams of ask ing the press to be oblivious to the faults and blind to the demerits of the company. It has a due sense of the proprieties, leaving re porters severely alone and not insisting upon free ' advertising in local columns. It sus pends the free list remorselessly, as to theat rical parasite!-, and recognizes only those peo ple whom duty and courtesy designate as legitimate deadheads. It does not dream of asking first-class prices for second-rate enter tainments, nor does it curse the community for refusing to be frozen to death and blown to pieces by the draughts of the auditorium. In short, the smoke-browned interior of the Chinese theater in a free field for criticism and observation, and the public is never bored by the tribulations of its managers. For these virtues', negative and positive, appreciative journalism .accords it an unsought ; "notice." The plays produced introduce some marvel- Ml costumes, and call for a wonderful exer cise of the imagination. The stage is a sort of club room, where spectators move about at will and jostle the actors with cool indiffer- 1 ence. The "leg drama" is unknown to its boards, " l'inafore " is a stranger to its walls, and the sensational play unheard of in its gieen-room. The play at present being given in chosen from the " Yuen-tchin-he-tchung," a collection of Mongol dramas published by an enterprising Yankee firm in 1280, though the copyright was violated by a Buddhistic purloiner a couple of hundred years later, when the play had nearly reached the third act of its representation. The author, Kuan han-king, a dramatist of repute, though living to a good old age, did not survive the first act of the piece, life being too short for that. Regret has been expressed, in considering this fact, that life is altogether too long for some of the authors of modern drama. The story of the play involves the frolicsome adventures and the tragic narrative of a Chi nese gourd of precocious growth, and in this respect bears a striking resemblance to the pathetic tale of : "Jack and his Bean-Stalk." The hero of the play is perSonated by a lithe Celestial whose wooden mask, half white, half black, and altogether horrible to behold, would make glad the heart of the average Eureka Club masker and insure him the first prize for grotesque originality. The manner in which the festive plant waltzes about the stage ia pantomimic recital and reck lessly mixes itself up with Chinese history and the romantic life of the Emperor Hiuen tsung, is something which can be fully appre ciated by those cultured mortals alone whose familiarity with the text of the play is equaled only in scope and comprehension by the learning and acumen of the average legislative correspondent of a metropolitan journal. The moral reflections, the recita tion of wise decrees, the recital of wonderful adventures, the recounting of the heroic acts and courageous feats of the sages, warriors and rulers whose history the drama makes | mince-meat of, began about one week ago, and promises to continue until that uncertain period when the Chinese must go. The in terest of the play is so great, the plot so vast in its proportions and so exacting in its de mands, and the length of the historic period to be traversed in which the romantic gourd I flourished is such that three relays of actors are employed, for mutual relief and to keep the show up to the point of unflagging activity. When these shall have succumbed to old age, and their bones have been shipped across the salty sea*, they will be replaced by new stock companies', whose members are as yet in i Mongolian pinafores. There need, therefore, j be no rush for reserved seats, as there will be ! ample time to take in a year or two of acts | when the ordinary business of life shall grow too weighty for the energies of one's latter years. The instrumentation of the or chestra can be criticised in the quiet hours of night, from any point within two blocks of the dramatic temple. Reiuhardt and other orchestral lead ers have recently made the melodies a profound study, but their outdoor criticisms of the art of the soloist on the one-stringed Celestial viola have been rendered somewhat [ difficult from inability to distinguish between the notes of the instrument and the house top voluntaries of the feline serenaders of Third street. The theater is daily and nightly filled by admiring Mongolian?, who seem to have not the slightest care as to whether | Caucasians drop in or not, and the actors go | on from hour to hour in their dreary mono tone of ear-piercing falsetto, apparently ut terly indifferent to what the press may say of their dramatic powers in the next "issue," a. blissful state of nonchalance to which the " Melican " actor can never hope to attain. Dead Animals. — A correspondent is anxious to know what has been the outcome of the recent action of the City Board of Health, urging the Trustees to procure a piec* of ground where animals dying within the ; city limits may be buried. He says that the | failure to provide such a place has in the prut i been a great annoyance and heavy burden to citizens owning animals. An animal dying on one's hands heretofore has cost nearly as much in many cases for burial as it was worth when alive, owing to the great diffi culty experienced in finding a place where the carcass could be deposited and in obtaining the means of transportation. He claims the city is large enough to warrant the Trustees in giving some one person or company the exclusive privilege of receiving the carcasses of nil dead animals in the city, except those of fowls. In that case, tha person would be required to provide properly-arranged trucks and carts, . and to dispose of all dead animals immediately upon Dotice, and all persons owning dead animals should be required, under penalty, to notify the proper officer of the death of such animal. He claims that such an arrangement would be greatly beneficial to tho city, and.could be made profitable to the contractor, who would convert thecarcasses into merchantable goods. In some places the privilege of disposing of the carcasses it sold at a premium. The cor respondent is a prominent butcher, and says that his opportunities for forming a correct judgment in this matter have been extended. He is not an applicant for the privilege sug gested, nor does he know of any one wishing such a contract, but believes that the crea : tion of such an exclusive privilege would re ! suit in some one earning forward to take it. : - Kcxawat. — When the Vallejo train came j in Saturday a team; belonging to F. E. ' j Mitchell, that had been lett unhitched, be i came frightened and ran down Second street ■ I with the hack at a rapid gait. Reaching V I ] street they ran upon the levee, continuing j j down for ( some distance and going across j Merkley's* ranch to the Riverside road, and | were checked by a post at the Half-way j House, two miles from the city. They were | pursued by a mounted paper carrier, but the i jingling of the bells upon his horse only frightened them more and prevented his cap- | turing them until they were stopped. The i damage to the hack was but slight. Robbebt. — Friday evening as Mrs. Augus- j I tvs Schmidt was walking on the street MM i Thirteenth and H street?, a man passed by, ' (and seizing her purse, containing $65, ran j rapidly down the street. He was pursued by t | Charles Fly and other > boy*, who broncht j him to bay. He was seen to throw the purse j over the fence, and about this time a man, [ who had joined in the chase, caught up with ' them and took charge of the pur-.?, saying he would return it to the lady. The i man and | the j purse disappeared, and have cot been j seen since. At this juncture local officer Thorpe i appeared and arrested the one who had been I surrounded by the boys.

Headers of the Recurd-Usiok will remem ber tint when " Buffalo Bill " and " Captain Jack" played here what proved quite a lengthened engagement for thoee noted scouts, that mention was made in these columns of the odd lot the frontiersmen brought with them from San FrancUco as supers, who per sonated the wild Indians of the plains that " Bill " and "Jack" nightly slew so remorse lessly. The youths were a lively knot of fel lows, and soon made themselves known throughout the city, and " Buffalo Bill's In dians" were the texts for several facetious "mentions" by the city press. The final "local' 1 they received, was au account of their being left behind in Sacramento, while the remainder of the troupe went over to Virginia. They were evidently much at tached to the scouts, and decidedly in love with stage-life. They were without means, and begved piteously to be taken "over flic hill." What became of them, has not before been definitely stated. Now comes Captain Jack, the temperance frontiersman, with a book of his poem 3 and sketches, in which he uives the sequel to the story about the "supers," whom he terms "Kubust Hood lums, with faces already made up for the war-path." He adds that " the pleasure of being slaughtered by Buffalo Bill hud an irresistible fascination f«r them. * * • * When we reached Virginia City no eupere were to be seen ; but on opening the ward robe trunk we found that several Indian suits were missing, and came to the conclu sion that the 'supers' had stolen the toggery and started on the war-path on their own account. About 3 o'clock that afternoon; however, a number of them turned up, car rying their warurobe under their arms. They told their experience as follows: 'When we gut through in Sacramento, we didn't know what the mischief to do next. Finally, we went into the theater and snaffled our ward robes, then went into an old shed, dres«ed up in our toffs and painted our faces. You ■M Indians are allowed to'ride free on all the roads; so we got on the back platform, and concluded we could fake it through some how. The conductor never bothered na till wo struck Reno, when Scotty, the dog-gone fool, Rave us dead away, trying to spout Shakespeare. When he said 'Now is the winter of our discontent, made glorious summer' — Superintendent Yerinzton, who was passing along the platform, heard the blasted fool, anil dropped on the whole racket. He called a couple -of brukemen, and told 'em we war white men, and they fired us off. We commenced to jabber Choc taw and Fiute, but it wouldn't work worth a cent. Then we slid around and got into a freight car, but they dropped on that and fired us again. Then we walked up from Reno — and here we are.' 'Yes, here we are,' said Scotty, 'an' if we don't eat till after the show, we're liable to drop_ without bein' shot.' Bill ordered some rations, and the noble warriors went through their war dance that night on full stomachs." COURSING YESTERDAY. The Capital Coursing Club had its winter meet over Joseph Hanlon'a grounds, near Georgetown, in this county. There was a fair attendance and excellent sport. Fully 150 people were upon the ground-;, many of them being lovers of field sports from abroad, James Adams, President of the Pioneer Club, was present as a guest, and he and A. Manning, . President of . the Capital Club, with Assemblyman Garibaldi, acted as judges, while 11. O. Mullane and J. J.^Cadogan held the slips. The day was a superior one, the dci.'-; in l;' »'■! trim, and the game as plentiful and wild as the most ardent could desire. ! The first pair of dogs slipped were Mary Stuart and Bright. They ran half a mile in a close contest, and killed in good shape. Mary cot the hare. . . Black Jack and Tom Moore went next, running about three-quarters of a mile. They started two hares ; Tom followed one and Jack the other. Tom killed his game with the assistance of Lady Grant, who was let loose to help him, and that she did right gal lantly. Jack lost his hare in some thick bru:-h. The next pair was made up of Pataey Bol ivar and Boss Tweed, and the race was a very close one. | After losing sight the sportsmen kt>ew very little about the outcome. . The hare was caught, but the credit was given to neither. There was some lively steeplechas ing in this match, though the run was only about half a mile. In the fourth race Mollie McCarty and Lady Grant made the pair. They got their frame in short distance ana followed it well. Kitty Woods got loose from her owner dur ing this match. Lady Grant made the kill ing, and the race was awarded to her. Susie and Kitty Woods made the next match. A superior run resulted, and. the hare was taken in fine style. Kitty made the most points, and the race was given to her. Emma Lyman and Mary Stuart ran ne> t. This proved the longest race of any, and cov ered two milts of ground. Mary won the race and much deserved praise. Then followed field-racing, in which all the dogs had free way, and some excellent sweep stakes runs were made. The day, in all, proved capital, and the sportsmen thorough^ enjoyed the sport. Joseph Hanlon gave the use of his grounds, made his home the Club head-quarters, and set out for the visitors a handsome collation, for all which the Capital Club voted him a load of hearty thanks, and resolved that he was one of the most generous of hosts and liberal of citizens. The com pany reached the city on return about 5 P. 11. The Railroad and the Chinese.— Re cently, under the interest Riven to the matter by the legislative discussion, there has been considerable inquiry as to what extent Chi nese are employed by the railroad corpora tions. To ascertain the facts regarding it, in quiry has been made of the chief clerk at the railroad shops, and of Superintendents Pratt and Wright and Assistant Superintendent Foster, and the result is as follows : At the railroad shops there are about 900 men em ployed. In Superintendent Pratt'a division there are about 400 men, and his jurisdiction includes the Sacramento division of the Cen tral Pacific Railroad extending; to Truckee on the east, Ridding on the Oregon division, the California I Pacific Railroad ■ ( Valle jo mute), anil the Northern Railway (Davisville, Knight's Landing and Willows route). .Su perintendent Wright's jurisdiction is over the Sacramento and Placerville Railroad, on which there are 02 men employed. Of all these there is but one Chinese employe, who is engigcd at the depot daily looking after Chinese passengers and in the«apacity of an interpreter, etc. In the steamer division, Assistant Superintendent Foster says, there are up and down the river, on boats and sta tions, from San Francisco to the end of the route, about 150 men employed, and none of them are Chinamen. Thus, among the 1,512 men employed by the railroads from Valle jo to Truckee, from Shingle Springs to Redding-, from Sacramento to Willow?, and up and ■ down the river (the Western Division head quarters being at Oakland, no figjre3 are ob tainable here), there is but one Chinaman, and he receives 650 per month for his services. The Ketten Recitals.— Henry Ketten's final piano recitals we.c both well attended, the matinee and the evening concert drawing good houses. ,: In the afternoon he played '■ Capriccio " (op. I 22), - Mendelsshon ; "On the Water," "Tarantella," by himself: "Valse"'in C-sharp, minor,' Chopin, and " Paraphrase Rigo'.etto," by himself ; " Wed ding March," Mendelsshon, Liszt: "Spin cerlied," -Litlcff, and "Krlkinp,". Schubert, Liszt ; "Nnvelittfe," Schumann, and " Pas quinade,"- Gottschalk ; • concluding with " Rbapsodie Hongroise " (No. 2), Li<<zt. In the evening the selections were : "Andante j Spianato and Polonaise," in E-flat, Chopin ; t "Home, Sweet Home," "Air de Ballet" i and "Dacza," by himself; "Spiuneilied," j '" Pasquinade " end the " Wedding March " asain : " Gavotte." .

Admittedly the finest per -1 formance was the ' first selection -■ for ! the evening. ■; All •■'. that ' has "- been Raid of Ketten in these calamus was by these final ; concerts fully confirmed, and he received the i unanimous verdict that critical " judgment ; awards to genius, from -every cultured taste ' which. ec joyed the pleasure of attending at I the recitals. - _ . ;.* ÜBiQnrrors "Tom."'— Drew yester day received a letter from a Mr. Murphy, at Eugene City, Lane county, Oregon, asking if a man named Tom j Knlloch is wanted here for murder, and saying that if such an indi vidual i i desired by the authorities of Sacra mento county, he (Murphy) thought he knew where to lay his hand on him, and would do so if a description was sent on to him.' Sheriff Drew has no idea' who " K'i!lr.th " is. | Dare any | one breathe it j that Tom Li wton •. is meant ?I By the way, it may be stated that no further news is "at hand from the Lander county; (Nevada) -."Tom. ;, The Sheriff Las sent on Tom* dfciscription . to the sage brush authorities, and meanwhile the country holds its breath.

When Denis Keaimy was in -the city recently he called Assemblyman Maybell into the lobby ni:d said to him in a strong, business-like way, "Maybell, you must pass a law here regulating labor. This session must not go by without a law that will fix the price of labor and make us all square on that subject. You know we have the Con stitution now, and the majority of our new I Supreme Court are Communistic, so, damn it, drive ahead and give us a law that will clinch the thing." Maybell answered him somewhat despondingly, saying, " I can't do it, Kearney ; the damned Constitution ain't what I thought it was. I may be able to get a law through to enforce the eight-hour law upon public works, but that's as far as we can go. I tell you what it is, we're sold on that Constitution. Wiy, we can't do any thing under it. I can't get up and say two words upon any subject but that cussed thing is shoved at me, and that always settles it. You wouldn't be on this floor two days be fore yon would see it just as I tell you. I tell you, Kearney, we can't do anything until we burst that damned Constitution all to hell. Aud that's what we've gt.t to do." At this juncture they resolved themselves into a Committee of " Ways and Means " upon the subject, and walked off together pondering over the new field of adventure. A joint committee from the City Council of Stockton and the Board of SuDei visors of San Joaquin cuurity have been appointed, and will arrive in this city to-morrow, to go befora the Judiciary Committees of both Kis of the Legislature, and request the navigable streams of the be put under the supervision control of the Board »f Supervisors, action is taken from fears entertained the navigable channels near Stockton entirely fill up, as it is asserted that recent examinations at Stockton show that the Mormon slough, according to actual soundings, has been filled uu by deposit withiu three ye^rs, ranging from four to seven feet in depth. The committee upon the sub ject consists of C. A. Ruggles, A. C. Paul ■ell, Alex. Gall, John Archer, A. Shedd and J. C. Campbell. The committee appointed to investigate the cause of burning of the State Normal School at San Jose, having reported to the under writers their conclusions, after examination under oath of all possible witnesses, that the tire originated from a defective ash chute being in cli>se proximity to wood, it is thought at the Capitol that the proposed committee of investigation from the Legislature will not now be appointed. Friends of the State Constabulary bill are highly satisfied with the favorable feeling among the members of the Legislature upon the subject, and also from the almost unani mous support the measure is receiving from the press of the interior counties. It is understood that the joint committee of the two houses which have been en deavoring to perfect a bill organizing the State Board of Equalization, and defining its duties, has failed to agree, and that the matter will now be considered by the com mittee from each House separately, and each committee will report a bill of its own.

In his defense the editor stated that the objectionable' adjective as it appeared in his correspondent's letter was alkoolischer, and tl.at, recognizing its insulting if not libellous signification, he hid altered it to altkatholischer ; but by. the stupid perver sity of a compositer the ■word had been set up altkholischer, which, being a barbarous, unmeaning compound, and not a Germ:* word at all, could hardly be - held to con-' stitute • a | slander. £ As % for j the . epithet "comedian," tl.e defendant contended that inasmuch a3 Old Catholics preserve many of the outward forms of the religion they 1 have left,' and their priests clothe them i selves in sacerdotal vestments, while they have : : abandoned ; the | beliefs, of which these are | the emblems, of the Church to j which they rightly appertain, Bishop Hir zog. when' he . performs ecclesiastical func tions, is really playing a part in a comedy.

SCIENCE AND PRACTICAL LIFE. At a recent meeting of the Royal So ciety, London, Dr. William Spottiswoode, in an address, introduced the following suggestive paragraph : "It was at one time thought that science and practical lifn were essentially distinct, and that in their cares and their purpose^, in their sorrows and their joys, neither intermingled with the other. But in proportion as it has been gradually recognized that science, and even philosophy itself, is based upon experience, so has their distinction grad ually faded from our view. And among many other instances of forecasts in this diiection by fari-eeing men, I may adduce the dream of Babbage, that mathematical I calculation might be reduced to mechan ism, and that tho data of many problem* both Of physics and of life might be handed over to an engine which would work out* the result?. That dream of his was as nearly realized as any dream of his ever could be ; for the merit and the charm of the man him self, and the fascination which he threw abont all his projects, were derived from the fact that, at whatever rate realization followed, his ideas flew faster still and outstripped them all. And if, in the ma chinery for complicated calculation de signed by the Thomson?, much more has bsen actually achieved than ever before, it is not because this is a generation of more feeble folk, or because there has been any lack of elasticity of mind or fertility of idea?, but because their minds and their ideas have been more under control, and because these men have succeeded in that which their great predecessor always missed, namely, mastery over themselves."' There are not a few workers in every de partment of effort who will appreciate this conclusion. A STORY OF CLAY. Here is an anec;lode told me by my j father, who was a great admirer of Clay'?, an.l who was an eye witness of the scene. It has never appeared in print, at least to my knowledge, and for its truth I can vouch. When Henry Clay ran for the first time for Congress ho was billed to address an assembly in the open air. A vast crowd had convened to hear the young j oratDr, and conspicuous above all arose the tall form of Jim Burnim, a rough, with an J unenviable reputation and a great personal enemy of Clay's, Owing to repeated de feats sustained by him from Clay in his political aspirations. When Clay had com menced his address Burnim placed himself j directly opposite him in the crowd and an- I noyed the speaker continually by interrup tions and ptraoual remarks, but chiefly V»y ! hissing every good point Clay produced. No j matter how smooth and lucid his stream of ] oratory might be, or how forcible his argu ment, Burnim was ready at the finis with his insulting hiss. This continued until Clay could stand it no longer, and when, after a particularly pungent thrust at the morality of the anti-Federalist*, he VU greeted with the indomitaMe, silent howl of Burnim's, he turned savagely to him, and with Hashing eyes delivered this cutting speech: "Mr. Bumim," said he, "when your last hour has come, and your evil, sinful soul has sought the dark shades of hell ; when standing there b;forc its sul phurous gates, your spirit charred with sin awaits admittance, Satan, glowing in his crimson majesty, shall ask hia vassals gath ered around him who it is that stands out side his portals, and when he's told that you are there, ho'll rise, and with a look of dark disgust, cry to his waiting menials : 'Go, take the alave and burn him till lie hiss : " — [Correspondence of Philadelphia Times. WASTE in Coke-jiakinc— The waste of raluablc products in coke-making iastroni/ly commented upon by Dr. Angus Smith, In spector under the Alkali Acts in Euglam'. He calls, attention to tho fact t!iat, in t( c combustion of every ton of coal made iuto coke, twenty pounds of ammonia aye gi«en off and allowed to go to waste. Hts eiti matcs the annual loss of ammonia thus wasted to be not less than 130,000 tons, which, at £1S per ton, would represent a moccy value of £2,340,000 (<>r over £11, --000,000 annually thrown away. In addi tion to this, the tav allowed to go to waste in the same way amounts to half that sum, which swells the annual lf>3S to the enor mous sum of more than three and a half million pounds sterling. The loss does not st. . p here ; for, as Dr. Smith proceeds to show, ammonia being a valuable fertilizing substance, it follows that, if the amount wasted, as alwve noted, were saved and properly applied, it would yield an increase of eight millions at lea3t. At Begtages, in I France, he says, where cokehurning is practiced, all the gases are utilized in the process, showing that the saving of these valuable elements is practicable. The same reproach may properly be cast upon the manner in which the manufacture of coke is carried out in this country. Senator Wade Hampton has never fully recovered from the illness which came with I the loss of his leg, an.i, not being in good health, he has not rallied from the despond ency occasioned by the death of his son. 1 X3SOCI»C3JHLTrSS3c«,S.
