IT is thought that no decision will be
made by I the Supreme Court in the legal

respecting the Legal-tender act.

and others were out hunting deer, the other

wolves, of which number the hunters killed

IN As improved process of treatingl_min
orals containing copper, recently patented
abroad, the inventor claims the treatment of
ores and minerals containing copper associ

then re-calcining or re-routing the ore in
presence of muriatic acid or chloride of iron.

dissolve out the copper as chloride-

least two hiindred establishments in New

COMMEISIONEB WILSON of the General

A BILL is in course of preparation, which
will be introduced into the House in a few
days, prohibiting banks from paying inter
est on their deposits. It is held that a large
amount of money is kept out of circulation,
j and in many sections of the country a strin
gency is produced by reason that the banks
keep control of all the surplus currency by
paying small interest on the sums deposited
with them. To prevent this is the object
of the present bill. I
THE, total loss of life on the lakes during

• A;Dismins.tri. explsion occurred lately in•
Arley Colliery, near Wigan, by which fifty
six miners were either suffocated or burnt.
It is a very curious thing that, before this
accident happened, a writer in the Daily
Beta had predicted that colliery explosions
• would take place, because on the 21th and
\ 22d of November there was a sudden fall
\in the barometer of an inch and a . quarter,
and it is a scientific fact .that these explo
sions always occur in the first few diysatter
st\ fall. Ventilation is the only preventive,

THE one hundred iron manufacturing es
tablishments of Chicago employ 15,000 men,
'to whom is paid $12,000,000 yearly for their
labor. •
The capital invested is $15,000,000;
and the annual product is $25,090,000. The
establiihments are employed principally in
manufacturing railroad supplies, .and agri
culturl, mining= and - mechanical tools.
Chicago will become one of the largest Man
ufacturing centers in the Country just as
rapidly as it is possible for a city to - grow in
Inky industry for : which It has the most com
manding advantages. With 86,000 Square
miles of cheap coal underlying the entire,
southern two.thirds of Illinois, with cheap
canal transportations for it to Chicago, with
cheap-water freights for the iron ores of
Lake - Superhir and Missouri to the same
point;-and with the rapid growth in coin
merce, capital and;labor which Is secured by
'her positiOn as the focus who're the com

The accounts Of the cotton crop of the
South are reported to be very encouraging,
and it is anticipated that the yield will ex
ceed 2,700,000 bales. The planters and
farmers are said to be in high spirits as to
their prospeet, and that in, addition to cot
ton and sugar sufficient wheat, corn and
sweet potatoes have - been raised to feed the
laborers. In previous years the planters
obtained advances from the• factors in order
to support their hands while the cotton was
growing.: The expense of tnis system was
very great and- required the planter fre
quently to sell-in a depressed market in or
-der to repay the debt with interest and com
missions incurred at- the beginning of the
season. This year a new policy was adopt
ed, and the planters being free from the
Claims of their creditors, had full control of
their cotton. As a result of this method of
doing business, it is asserted that the Liver
pool speculators have been deterred from
formingtheir usual combinations to force
prices down, and that cotton in Lancashire
now commands from 10} to 11 pence per
pound against 7 to 8 pence last year.
Numerator and Lenemlnator.
The London Athentenm recently asserted
that the person who should succeed in se
curing the general adoption of the abbrevi
ations limner and dome, instead of nu
merator and denominator, would be wor
thy'of a statue. In reply to this suggestion
for an easy method of expressing a fraction,
a correspondent proposes the general ac
ceptance of the word over, as two over
three, to indicate the division of two by
three. This plan, it is stated would simpli
fy very much the trinting of mathematical
works, especially in the case of fractions
composed of long algebraical expressions,
If, however, it be required to replace the
long words numerator and denominator by
shorter ones; the use of - the terms tale and
scale is recommended.- Tale is the old Eng
lish for number, and scale is now used to de-.
note the fractional parts according to which
plans are drawn. Hence the writer pro
poses - that two by tale and three by scale
would be a convenient mode of expressing
fiactions.
Voleanois In the Moon.
Professor Winloch, of Harvard Univer
sity, reports that he has seen a volcano in
active eruption in the moon during the
nights of December Ist and 2d. During the
past, year, astronomers have differed in opin
ion as to the disappearance of the crater
Linnaeus, marked on the best charts of the
moons surface till 1868. The destruction of
this crater, if it should be the case, is stated
to be the rst evidence of actually observed
changes going on at the surface of the moon.
The observations' of Professor Winloch
would Seem to confirm the conclusions of
other astronomera on this subject. The
foreign journals announce that Professor J.
H. Nadler, of Bonn, Who is celebrated on
account of the moon • charts prepared by
himself, has written a letter on this subject.
Nadler has been for many years nearly
blind, but the disappearance of the crater
Linnaeus interests him as well as other emi
nent astronomers.
The Pennsylvania Agricultural College.
A meeting of the trustees of the Agricul
tural College of Pennsylvania has been
held at Harrisburg, at which an election
was held for President, and Hon. Thomas
H. Burrows was chosen. The President
submitted a plan for the reorganization of
the College, embracing, among others, • the
following features: One student to be ad
mitted from each county of the State, free
(except board,) and one from each county
for every twelve thousand of its population.
The College will accommodate . four hun
dred students, and will be supported by the
interest'of the proceeds of certain land scrip
donated by the United States. The plan
was approved by Senator White, of Indiana
county, and others, and will be carried into
execution as soon as the details can be ar
ranged.
The Utica Herald says some humanitarian
has conceived a plan of warming street cars.
It consists of a simple coal stove, con.
structed expressly for the purpose, and
bolted fast to the floor of the car, under the
seat, and near- the centre, where it is so
boxed in and protected that persons seated
directly over the heater exlienence no in
convenience, and the heat is diffused over
the entire floor of the car. By this ingeni
ous arrangement no room is lost, and the
only serious objection to street-car stoves
has been removed. If the directors of the
city railroads would have their cars crowded,
their stock "go up," their dividends in
crease, and be canonized when they die, let
them adopt this, or some similar project for
warming the city cars.
Tau report of the Retrenchment Com
mittee will show some•istartling facts about
the administration of the Revenue Bureau,
and the relations of the Commissioner with
the President and Secretary of the Treasury.
It willappear, it is said that ifame months
ago Commissione r Rollins was not only
stripped of all power in the appointment of
his subordinates of all grades; but that all
papers relating to such appointments were
removed from his control, and taken out of
the building occupied by the Revenue
Bureau.
