Illinois Preserving the Earth’s Equi
librium.
Tom Hughes in McMillan's Magazine.
Galena is undoubtedly the center of a
rich mineral district, indeed one may
say exceptionally rich, for it seems that
silver grows there. A shaft near the
town was abandoned for some years.
When opened again lately, an old chain
which had been left hanging there by
former explorers, was found coated
with silver instead of the futile rust of
the old world 1 I ventured to cross-ex
amine the mining engineer (a matter-of
fact, successful person) who told me the
story, and was convinced that he was
not joking, and believed himself that
all metals grew. But the most amusing
case of faith in Galena that we came
across was that ot one whom I may per
haps call a typical Western adventurer.
He came out young, and had tried
many ways of life, including that of un
dcrtaker, encouraged to this branch of
business by a serious epidemic. As the
ordinary funeral apparatus was scarce
in Illinois at that time, he converted a
light wagon he had into a hearse by the
aid of some black trappings, and in it
he drove a famous old trotter which he
had brought from the East. The trade
throve with him until one day when he
was called on to convey a well-known
citizen and justice of the peace to his
last resting-place. There would seem
to have been a considerable gathering
of wagon owning neighbors to the cere
mony in question, and when the pro
cession started one or two of them kept
pressing up on the flanks of the hearse.
Somehow the pace would keep quick
ening, till at last, about a mile from the
cemetery, in order to hold his place at
all the undertaker was obliged to drop
his hands, shove out his feet and cry
“g-lsng” to his old trotter. He brought
up at the cemetery with a clear lead,
though the chief mourner made pretty
good time; but possibly in consequence
of an accident which happened to the
coffin, or because the epidemic abated,
soon after left his mournful occupation.
Turning his attention to mining and
land investment, he became the convert
of an ingenious mining speculator and
theorist, who has established to his own
satisfaction that Galena and the imme
diate neighborhood are the heaviest
parts of tlie known world, and will
therefore prove the Tichest in metals.
From a cursory perusal of the pampnlot
in which the proofs are given, I gather
the argument to be that the rotary mo
tion of tlie earth makes it certain that
the weight is pretty evenly divided,
and that America is, in fact, about as
heavy as the three old continents put
together. But, having regard to the
immense disproportion between the ag
gregate superficial area of Europe and
Asia and that of North America, it is
clear that the latter must be composed
of vastly heavier material, otherwise
the world would be lop-sided, and its
motion entirely different from what we
experience. This extra weight c n
only be caused by an immense prepon
derance of metals on the American side,
and abstruse calculations show that Ga
lena is the precise spot where the great
est mass of them w ill be found to exist.
I give the information for what it may
be worth to intending investors. There
are w ilder crochets about in the West by
scores.
Shlp-buildim; in Great Britain.
Great Britain is making god use of
the advantage she has gained in the
business of ship-building. According
to the latest number of the London
Shippir ;</ Gazette she. turned out of her
various building yards in 1870 974 ves
sels, with an aggregate tonnage of 342,-
706_tons. Of these 433 were steamers,
representing a carrying power of 225,-
674 tons, and .771 sailing vessels, of
117,032 tons: 499, representing 58,530
tons of measurement, were built of
timber, and 445 vessels, of 271,760 tons
aggregate burden, were of iron, while
30“ vessels, of 12,416 tons, were of com
posite manufacture. The increase over
the previous year in the construction of
iron vessels as compared to that of
wooden ones was as five to one. The
largest number of vessels (105) were
built at Glasgow, 93 came from the ship
yards of Sunderland, 71 from Newcastle,
53 from Liverpool, and the rest from
other ports. Of the whole number
built in Great Britain 70 steamers and
23 sailing vessels passed into the hands
of foreigners. The commercial fleet of
the United Kingdom and her colonies
now possesses a carrying capacity nearly
equal to that of all other nations com
bined. It is a twofold source of wealth,
inasmuch as it aids and stimulate- at
the same time the general commerco of
the kingdom and furnishes an inde
pendent and profitable branch of busi
ness in carrying the merchandise of
other countries to and from their vari
ous markets. On the other hand the
United States, with vast stores of pro
ductions for foreign markets, unlimited
energy and pluck among their capital
ists, and the most active and intelligent
body of working-men in t ie world, Have
a merchant marine but little more than
sufficient for their own coasting trade.
The comparison is humiliating,' to say
the least.
Coal Supply or England.
It has boon feared that the coal mines
of Great Britain would soon be exhaus
ted, and about five years ago the Gov
ernment of that country appointed
Commissioners to inquire into the mat
ter. These Commissioners have recently
published the first volume of their
reports, which dispels the apprehen
sions entertained by alarmists. These
documents estimate the available
amount of coal in Great Britain at one
hundred and forty-six thousand four
hundred and eighty millions of tons,
which it is calculated, arc sufficient to
supply the country for two hundred
and twenty six years. It is assumed
that four thousand feet is the extreme
depth down to which the coal mines
may be worked with a profit. Leaving
out veins less than a foot in thickness,
it is calculated that the unexhausted
known mines amounts to 90,.
-0i,000,000 of tons. The veins lying
below four thousand feet, as far as they
have been explored, it is believed will
furnish 7,320,000,000 of tons in addition
the beds under the lower strata of
it is conjectured, will supply
06,273,000,000 of tons. A theory also
prevails that coal exists at a depth of
twelve hundred feet under the chalk
rocks of southern England, and this
view, although opposed by the late Sir
Roderick I. Murchison, has been
adopted by the member of the commis
sion who was appointed to examine the
locality. The report dwells with par
ticular severity upon the waste in
mining coal—from ten to forty per cent,

FACES ON THE WALL.
BT IIARRir.T BEErHF.n STOWE.
Author of 11 Uncle Tom's Cabin” “ Afy Wife
and I,” u Minister's Wooingetc.
Once there was ft very good littlegirl, who,
by reason of her goodness, knew where
to find strawberries in the winter. In the
'arae way less perfect people, blessed by the
gonerous fairies of memory and imagination,
may sit, as I do now, in the midst of falling
leaves and whistling winds, and call back
the green grasses and the summer sun. I sec
yonder in the glen the darling of our house,
the gold gleam in her brown hair, a chain of
daisies in her hand, and in her eyes the
roguish meditation of a kitten, weary for an
instant only of its play, and thinking slyly
of another spring. Thrown hack upon the
velvet grass, she is not resting, only pausing;
from her bright glances to the tips of her
tiny fingers, she is wide awake.
But now the merry play is over, and our
pet nestles yonder on the sofa-cushion, tii\d
at last in earnest. Slowly the lids fall, and
the lingering smile dies out; hut the flush in
cheek and lip remains, like the glow after
sunset. The gathered buttercups and daisies
are loosely held by the fair li:tle hand ; no
shadows, even of dream-land, disturb the
sweet brow’s perfect peace. She is fast asleep.
In other words, two ehromoshang upon the
wall, bewitching child-heads, in which every
mother sees something of her own dear ones,
never grown old, and never lost to her, how
ever timeordeath may havedealt with them.
Nothing pleases more at first sightorgives
pleasure longer than poetical pictures of
children. “The little child” whom Jesu9
sets in the midst of every family is a joy
that grows not old and fades not.
“ Age cannot wither, custom cannot stale
Its infinite variety.”
For this reason a happy picture of a child
brings an enjoyment more lasting than any
other, because it is a suhjeetof which no one
ever tiros.
But these pictures, besido their constant
charm for grown folks, arc such as children
can understand and love. Our little ” Wide
Awake” and“ Fast Asleep” would give many
a pleasant hour of companionable amuse
ment and intercourse to the little people akin
to them in age. The pictures that children’s
eyes reston as they are dropping off to sleep, or
as they awako in the morning, seem to them
like living friends. All sorts of childish
dreams and fancies make of the pictured face
a real companion. Not only in the parlor or
the sitting-room would they ho an attractive
and fitting embellish.nout, hut they aro a
charming pair for the adornment of a nur.-ery.
Undoubtedly these two pictures are por
traits. Thero is a realistic faithfulness and
truth about them that forbids the idea of
their being fancy heads. They will remind
many parents of little ones either here or in
heaven. Dickens says somewhere of hjs
portraiture of little Nell that he lias had let
ters from the farthest regions of the earth
speaking of children who resembled her—so
dear, and so early taken! He who paints
one child well, paints thousands, and speaks
to the tenderest feelings ot innumerable hearts.
Of course there is a pleasure in possessing
an original painting; hut when the question
lies between an original at five hundred dol
lars and acliromo which can seareelv be
distinguished from itatten dollars—particu
larly when one lias not the five hundred to
spare—the choice is not very difficult. As to
these two exquisite chromos. only a critical
examination can distinguish between the
copies and theoriginals, which sold for many
hundreds—which is certainly more than can
be said of the best copies of most pictures
painted by hand.
Blessings upon chromo-lithography, by
which the successful painting of a master
can be reproduced indefinitely, and can enter
thousands of homes with its educating,
quickening, reforming influences !
It is not olono into tho dwelling of the
great and wealthy that we follow this pretty
pair with anticipations of delight. We see
them in the cottages of tho poor, in the log
cabin of the backwoodsman, brightening the
toil of the hard-wife and mother, and re
ceiving the almost adoring wonder of chil
dren who have never seen pictures before.
God bless the darlings—rend the little
comforters fast and far!
The charming pair of oil chromos, “ Wide
Awake” and “ Fast Asleep,” of whose real
‘ beauty and attractiveness Mrs. Stowe’s grace
ful sketch can give but an imperfect idea—
so pleasing are they to all who love art and
children—have always sold in the picture
stores for $lO, and the original publisher has
never been able to supply the great demand
for them even at that price. And yet, al
though thousands of them have been sold in
America at that high rate, they are now
within tliereaeh of all, f >r they are

Mtirglar-proof Ixk'U.
Among recent inventions connected
with house-building is a lock that, by
its peculiar construction, would seem
to be absolutely burglar-proof. The
door cannot be unlocked from the side
opposite to that from which it is locked,
the bolt passing over and effectually
barring entrance through the key-hole
on the reverse side. £ach side of the
lock has its key-hole entirely distinct,
and on another line from the key-hole
on the other side. The house-breaker
hence can find no key-hole in which to
insert his skeleton key, the aperture
being closed by the iron bolt that enters
tho socket of tho lock, nor can he find
any crevice even by which to insert
gunpowder, for the purpose of blowing
off the fastenings.

(Jpn. Sherman as a Lawyer.
From the Lawrence Tribune.
The “early judiciary” of Kansas
transacted business on equity of prin
ciples. A good many of the justices
were like necessity, they knew no law,
but they generally did Justice about as
well as our courts.
A case was tried in 1857, in which
Gen. Sherman, who then resided on a
farm in what was then Calhoun county,
was employed as an attorney. The Gen
eral came in with an immense pile of
law books and his precedents well se
lected. He expected to try the case
before ’Squire Gibbs as a good lawyer
should, and had taken the case more
for the purpose of aiding a neighbor in
what he had been made to believe was
a good case, and to relieve him from in
justice, than for any fee.
The jolly old justice came into court
arid announced the case for heating.
The General said the plaintiff was ready.
A long, 1 nk, lean looking genius who
stopped a string of cattle and log wagon
in the street, and stuck his whip with a
twelve foot lash behind the door, ap
peared lor the defense. The testimony
was heard, and Gen. Sherman delivered
his argument, and presented the law in
the case in an able manner, as a good
lawyer would. He read from the com
mon law of Kngland, and cited cases in
the reports of several of the American
States. The bull-whacker followed him,
and ridiculed his precedents, and
scouted at his hooks. Ho said it was an
insult to the court to read from “The
common law of England,” and declared
that “ if we were compelled to take any
of that aristocratic British law,” lie
wanted “the very best Her Majesty
had, and none of her common law.”
That was enough, the justice’s face was
set, and the General lost his case. It
was the last lie ever tried in Kansas.
He left, and Kansas lost a medium sort
of farmer —about equal to Horace Gree
ley—and the nation gained a good and
a great General.
A Fire-Proof Press.
The most remarkable proof of the vitality
of a live newspaper has been shown by the
late Chicago tire. The discontinuance of
the Chicago Tribune for a single day—while
the tire was still raging—was felt to be a
public calamity, and its appearance was
welcomed by an eager crowd standing for
hours waiting in turn to be served. Its
courageous voice inspired life and hope in
the souls of a soro-stricken people, and
stirred the hearts of the best men in two
hemispheres. Its words of cheer, day after
day, lifted thousands from the depths of
despair to the heights of a noble manhood
and encouraged them to the work of re
building Chicago and their own fortunes.
When it seemed weakest it was strongest,
when poorest it was richest; for though the
fire consumed its material forms, its good
name, with its heritage of good will and its
invincible spirit, were
living, working, guiding and propelling
force survives, and will quickly re-create
what the fire destroyed.
A noticeable peculiarity of the Tribune is
that it boasts not of to-morrow—nor of to
day. Instead of promising, it docs. Its work
is witness for it. After the fire, it brought a
four-cylinder Hoe press through from New
York in thirty-six hours, but did not herald
it, and its readers were not told that it threw
aside as old type, SB,OOO worth of new typo
—such as it could lay its bands on for the
moment —that it might appear in a more
comely dress. Facts like these reveal the
secret of its success and power.
As a news paper it is unrivalled in .the
West. It has the latest news by telegraph
and mail from all quarters of the globe up
to the hour of going to press, reports of the
proceedings of Congress,of Western Legis
latures, and of all important public meetings
and speeches, able correspondents at all the
great political and commercial centres, full
and complete market reports of all kinds,
agricultural, financial, and commercial in
telligence, literary notices and review’s of
books, and whatever concerns the larmer,
tho mechanic, the laborer, the capitalist, the
merchant, and business man.
The Tribune both represents and creates
public sentiment, leading rather than fol
lowing it. It grapples with living issues,
and lets the dead bury their dead. Always
outspoken and manly, sometimes mistaken
but always independent, it represents tho
vital spirit, the progressive, conquering ele
ment and tho best men of tne Republican
party, and is tho determined foe of dead
beats, incompetents, thieves, corruptionists
and sycophants in all parties. Rqual rights
for all, amnesty for rebels, a tariff for public
revenue only, the public lands for actual
settlers and not for corporations, and a re
form of the civil servico that shall make fit
ness instead of partizan zeal or personal fa
voritism the test of preferment to office—
t’lis is tho political platform on which it
proposes to sustain the Republican party in |
the Frosidontial campaign of 1872. B.

It is an easy matter to distinguish the
genuine I)r. Sage's Catarrh Remedy from
the spurious imitations in the market,
the genuine having printed upon the

name and address, which of itself is a
perfect guarantee of genuineness. 578
The Secret of Captivation.—Fea
tures of Grecian mould, a well-turned neck and
beautifully rounded arm.*, are no doubt very nice
things to huvo. and ladies who possess theae
charm-* have reason to be thankful to Mother
Nature: yet. after;all, the most captivating of nil
womanly charms is a pure, fresh and brilliant
complexion. This superlative fascination any
lady may secure by using Hagan’s Magnolia
Balm, the standard beautifying preparation of
the present ago. It differs from all ordinary cos
metics in threo most essential particulars, inas
much as it contains no injurious ingredients, docs
not contract or shrivel the skin as all the astrin
gent “blooms,” "lotions,” and "powders”
eventually do, but produces a lasting loveliness
by improving the health of the skin. Under its
operatio the texture of tho epidermis becomes
finer, and tho surface soft vs velvet and smooth
as porcelain. Features cannot be changed, but
complexions can. and it is quite certain that a
lady with noothcr charm than a fresh and rosy
complexion will attract more admiration in com
pany than her neighbor with a classic face but a
sallow skin.—font.

gest i‘, the pangs of dyspepsia, and a
doctor’s bill. Dr. Walker’s Vegetable
Vinegar Bitters, the great Teetotal
Restorative of the age, without over
stimulating the palate or irritating the
stomach, imparts a healthful appo ite,
promotes digestion, regulates the liver
and bowels, purifies the blood, ard thus,
instead of entailing four evils, confers
four inestimable benefits. — Cbm.

READ THE FOLLOWING LETTER.
Mount Vkrnon, 111., April 2*., 1871.
Me**r*. J. S. Harris <t Co., Cincinnati, Ohio :
Gentlemen— l hoard one of my customers speak in
such high terms of Allen’s Lung Balsam to-day that I
thought I would write you the substance of his state
ments. He says his mother, who is now sixty jyears of
aye, has sufff.rf.d with consumption for several
yhars, and has been under the care of all our lent
physician*, but never received any permanent benefit;
then she resorted to overy kind of Cough and Lung
Balsam that conld he procured for her, but nil to no
avail. She still grow worse, until she was confi.ied to
her bed; and when she was seized with a paroxysm of
coughing, she would lot is the power of respiration, and
they were compelh d to resort to various means to re
storebreathing; end while sho coughed so hard she
could not expect* rate anything, and the family and
friends had give n up all hopos of her recovery. Her
son noticed the advertisement of Allen’s Lung Balsam
in the Cliiistiau Advocate, and they thought they would
procure and try it. They commenced giving her the
Balsam at b o’clock p. m., as directed, a dose every
hour until midnight; then she took another snell of
coughing, and expectorated a mouthful of dark, yel
low matter, which was something she had not keen
aide to do for some time. They continued to give her
the Balsam until morning, and then she began to ex
pectorate freely, and within two hours she had expec
torated three pints of mucous matter, which gave
her immediate relief; and since that time she has con
tinued to improve. She now sits up all day. and can
walk about the house and take considerable out-door
exercise. Her son bought more of the Balsam to-day
and he is recommending it very highly to every one.
Yours, respectfully.
A. C. JOHNSON, Druggist.
Was there ever a greater proof of merit than the case
this letter refers to?
ALLEN’S LUNG BALSAM is without doubt the
BEST EXPECTORANT REMEDY ever offered to the atllicted
public. It contains no opium in any form, and its use
is harmless to the most delicate.

Warning Words.
The strength and nervous energy of the human
body ought to he increased during the winter for
two reasons; In the first place, diseases of the most
deadly character may be generated at this season;
and secondly, it is of tho utmost importance that dur
ing the cold winter months tho system should bo put
in a condition to withstand the effects of the Spring
miasma, and the subsequent depressing heat of Sum
! mer. It is therefore advisable, in fact o-sential, to
| tone, regulate and invigorate the digestive andweero
| tive organs at this period of the year, and of all the j
stomachics and alteratives at present known, Hostet
ter’s Stomach Bitters is tho most powerful, the most
harmless, and tho most agreeable. The tomperuturo
of winter would be in itself a glorious tonic, if it did
not, unfortunately, bring with it a volume of chilling
moisture and unwholesome winds, which hare a bad
effect on the skiu and lungs. These must be guarded
against, or there is no security for health. The effect
of a course of the Bitters is to give vigor and tone to
tho entire organization—the superficial muscles and
nerves, as well as tho internal viscera. A tegular
habit of body, a healthy and natural flow of bile, an
active digestion, a good appetite, pure blood, and a
vigorous circulation of that fluid, arc among tho
blessings derivable from a persistent use of Hostettei's
Stomach Bitters, which not only more than supplies
the place of the best tonics, cathartics and antiseptics
proscribed in tlieir separate forms by physicians, but
perform the threefold work of invigoration, regula
tion aud purification at one and tho same time.— Com.

MISS SAWYER’S SALVE.
j
ITERE you have a salve combining soothing and
11 healing properties, with no dangerous ingred
ient. A remedy at hand for the many pains anti
aches, wounds and bruises to which flesh is heir.
Is more easily applied than many other remedies .
never producing a bad effect, but always relieving
pain, however severe.
It is prepared by Miss Sawyer, who has used it
in her own extensive treatment of the sick, for
nearly twenty years, with great success.
The principal diseases for which this salve is rec
ommended are. Chilblains, Rheumatism , rile t.
Scrofula, Old Ulcers, Salt Rheum. Sprains, Burn *.
Fever Sores, Felons, Pimples, Erysipelas, Sore
Eyes, Barber's Itch, Deafness, Roils, Ring-worms.
■ Corns, Bites of Insects, Cancers, Toothache, Ear
ache, Sore Nipples, Baldness, Swollen Breasts,
Itch, Scald Head, Teething, Chapped Hands,
Scalds. Cuts, Bruises, Croup, Cracked JLips, nnd
Sores on Children
It never falls to cure Hheumatism If properly
applied. Rub it on well with the hand three tinW*
a day. In several cases it has cured palsied limbfe
For Piles it has been discovered to be a sure rem
edy. Persons that have been afflicted for years
have been relieved by a few applications. For Ery~
sipelas it works wonders, allaying the inflammation*
and quieting the patient. For Chapped Hands it
produces a cure immediately. Let those with Salt
Rheum obtain this Halve, nnd apply It freely, nml
they will find it invaluable. It is good in cases of
Scrofula and Tumors. Cancers nave been cured
with it. The best Halvo ever Invented for Swollen
Breast and Sore Nipples. No way injurious, but
sure to afford relief. Sore or Weak Eyes Rnb it
on the lids gently, once or twice a day. Cures deaf
ness by putting* In the ears on a piece of cotton.
For Felons this is superior to anything known.
For Pimples this acts like a charm. For Burns
and Scalds, apply tho Salve at once nnd it gives
immediate relief. For Old Sores,' apply once a
day.
Not among the least of the invaluable properties
of Mihh Sawyer's Halve are its beneficial effects
<>n the hair. Rubbed on the sculp, in five or six
different parts, it promotes the growth of the hair,
prevents It turning gray, and on bald spots it pro
duces a new growth of hair. No lady should be
without this invaluable article as an indispensable
cosmetic for the toilet. It eradicates dandruff and
disease from the head, and blotches and pimples
from the face.
We, tho undersigned, have been acquainted with
Miss Sawyer for many years, and believe her to bo
a Christian lady and a skilful nurse, and having
used her salve in our families, it gives us great
pleasure in saying it is the best general medicine
we have ever used:
