58,000 pounds of silver. Of copper,
she In oduced 6,500 tons, 4,900 tons of
zinc, 800 tons of lead, m1( . 1200,000 tons
of iron. The disproportiJ tn. here be
tween the . precious and useful metals is
very striking, as be seen by a COM

100 pounds troy ; silver at 70.000

500 ; zinc, 1.000 tons; lead, 61,000
tons ; iron, 8,000,000.
In the same year the United States,
including CalifOrnia, is supposed to have
duced 200.000 pounds troy of gold;
22,000 pounds of silver; 1,01)0 000
pounds avoirdupois of mercury, (Great
Britain, and Russia producing none at
all ;) 3,500 tons of copper, 5,000 of znic,
15,000 of lead and a million of tons of
iron.
Mexico takes the palm in silver, the
product of 1851 amounting to 1,750,01)0
pounds.troy. Chili ranks next., to 250,-
000 pounds; Ecuador and New Grana
da aro put down at 1:10,000 pounds ;
Bolivia the same; Spain 125,00 U pounds
and so on—Brazil closing the list with

been a lawyer of eminence, but had fal
len, through intoxication, to beggary
and a dying condition. Bryan had mar
ried, in better days, the sister of Moses
Felton.]
At length all hopes were given up.—
Week atter week the fidlea man would
lie drunk on the floor, and not a day of
real sobriety marked his con se. I doubt
if Snell anodie; case was known. He
was too low tinr conviviality; for those
with whom he would have associated
would nut drink with him.
All alone in his office and chamber, he
still continued to drink, a d even his
very life seemed the offspring of his jug.
lu early spa ing Moses _Felton had a
call to go to Oh.o. Ileibre h set out he
visited his sisters. lle offered to take
her with him, bat she would nut go.
"But why stay here" urged the
brother. "You are fading away and
disease is upon you. Why should you
live with such a brut'?"
"Hush 3I.J.ieS, spa ik not," an.werel
the wite, keeping back her tears. "I
wilt not leave him mow, but he will soon
leave me. He cannot live nine a longer."
At that mu neat Daniel entered the
apartm,M. Ile looked like a wanderer
from the tomb. He had his hat on and
his jug in his hand.
"Ah, Moses, how are ye?'' he gasped,
for he could not speak plainly.
The visitor looked at him a few mo
ments in silence. Then, as his features
assumed a cold stern expression, he said
in a strongly emphatic tone:
Bryan I have been your
friend but mie. My sister is au angel,
but matched with a demon. I have
o ;cc] you Daniel, as I never loc man
before; you were noble, generous and
kind; but I hate you no at, for you are a
devil incarnate. Look at that woman.
She is my sister—she aught now live
with inc con:ort, only she k% ill not do
it while you are aliVe; yet when you die
she will come to me. Thus do I pray
that God wiil soon give her joys to my
keeping. Now, D. Ido sincerely hope
!that, the first intellit , e ice that reaches me
from my native place after 1 shall have
reached my new home may he—that
yon—are—deail:"
"Stop. Moses, I can refbrm."
"You cannot. It is beyond your
power. You have had inducements
ea ough to have retiirmed half the sin
nee s of creation, and yet you are lower
than ever liet oe. GO and die sir, as
soon as you can, t r the moment that
sei , s you thus shall not find me among
the mourners."
Bryan's eyes flashed, and he drew
•I. he said, with a toile
the old sarcasm, “go to
Ohiu, and send yO,l news. Go, sir,
and wateh the host. I will yet make
pm take ba , .k. year woals."
"Never, Dankl Bryan, never."
—You shall I s wear it!."
With these words, Daniel Bryan
hurled his jug into th. , fire-place, and
o bile yet a thousand ti•agments were
flying over the floor, he strode from the
house.
Mary sank fainting on the floor.—
Moses bore her to a bed, and then hav
ing called in a neighbor, he turned away,
for the stage was waiting.
For a month Daniel moved over the
brink of the grave, but he did not die:
•‘oiie gill of brandy will save yen,"
said the doctor, who saw that the abrupt
removal of stimulants from a system that
for long years had almost subsisted on
nothing else, was ilea& sure to prove
fatal. "You can surely take ' gill and
not take more."
"Aye,' gasped the poor than, "take
a gill and break my oath. Moses Fel.
ton shall never hear that brandy and,rum
killed me'. If the want of it can kill me,-
then fa me die! But I won't die; I'll

what mu,t be the remainder of

"I must die an unperjured
man: The oath that has bound me thus
far was mad for life."
That evening Mary Bryan was
the happy. No allusion was made to
th;cene of one year bef,re, but
,Moses
could read in both the countenances of
his sister aa.l her husband the deep grat
itude they did not speak.
And Daniel Bryan yet lives, one of
most honored man of Vermont.—
Five times has he sat in the State Leg

Mount Ararat.
Mount Ararat is 9,000 feet higher than
Mount Blanc—the latter the point of the
greatest elevation in Europe. It is de
tached from other mountains - of Armenia,
and is divided int:, two conical peaks
Sir Robert Potter paints in glowing col
ors the magnificence of the spectacle,
when he first came in stilt of Ara , at,
majestic illy rising timn a wide extended,
grc ea 'e tinzed by the clear waters
of the Aars. (the ancient Araxes,) and
covered aai.la Armenian villa.. ; es In
various points of view the sanunit has a
very striking resemblance to a ship; a
filet which has been recorded by all trav
elers to the spot, and the whole country
around is full of tr. ditionary stories iii
refire I ce t, Noah's ark and the flood.—
It is a common belief among the Arme
nians and Persians, that the remains of
the ark still exist on the summit. Sev
eral attempts have been made to reach
the top of th mountain, but rarely have
any such attempts succeeded. 'Moving
sands. which threaten to overwhelm the
traveler; flinty marls, which cut his shoes
to shreds; teiaible precipiJ.es, with over
han-ing rocks: and, above all, nests of
snakes have constantly struck terror into
the stoutest heart, and, in nearly all ca
ses induced an abandonment of the en
terprise. At Erivan the Armenians
show the spot where Noah first planted
the vine, and the town of Nakhjowan
(place of descent) is believed to mark the
spot where the patriarch first settled on
giuting the ark.
Diptheria—A sure Cure for this Ter-
rible Disorder.
F,MTitors mi, sB 0 117 i Mmocrat:—Please pub
lish the following treatment of dipther
ia. It has been used by myself, and
others to whom I have given it, in over
one th o usand e;,ses, without a failure.
It will "always care," if the treatment
is commenced betbre the diptheria mem
brane extends into the air tubes, which
is known by the great difficulty of
breathing and restlessness. In such a
case no remedy yet discovered will al
ways cure ; but if the patient is watch
d. and this treatment used in time,
there is no danger.
I sent this treatment to a friend of
mine in Wisconsin, and he used it on
himself and family, and neighbors, with
such wonderful success that he request
ed me to send it to you for publication,
as this horrible disease is prevailing ex
tensively in parts of Missouri :

"The Haschish Eaters."
A terrible afThir has just come to light
in Paris, which is causing a g:eat deal
of sensation. A celebrated physician,
desirous of ascertaining and minutely
recording the effects of the "haschish,"
or Indian hemp, upon the human mind,
induced . three young men to lock them
selves up in a room with him, and par
take of it. The servants were all sent

hours, and the inmates not coining
forth, the doors were demolished, whea
a horrible sight pi esented itself within.
Un ti c floor lay the doctor, insensible,
and bleeding profusely from a wound
in his head. One of the young men
was exti-nded beside him, groaning in
agony, his left arm and leg both broken
by toe fail of the chandelier, whic'i, by
sonic extraordinary ace dent, had slip
ped from its chain, and lay scattered in

it was evident the victim hod been
wounded—he was found to have be

was lying beneath the table—in a stupor,
front which no medical skill has yet
been able to arouse him. 'the doct, ,, r,
whose wound isnot serious, and whose
insensibility proceeded from the loss of
blood, gives a vague, cool used account
of the scene as yet. The revelations
made in the pages of his pocket-book,
are said to be extraordinary, and to have
caused the greatest excitement among
the medical men of Paris.

Death from Chewing Tobacco--A
Curious Case.
An inquest was held yesterday at
Clithero, on the body of a Loy named
Richard Ddmonson, who, it seems, had
died under rather extraordinary circum
stances. Deceased, 17 years of age,
about a fortnight ago purchased half an
mulct; of a kind of tobacco known as
Limerick roll. Deceased chewed it, and
swallowed some of the juice. Directly
afterwards he was seized with a sort of
stiffness and tremor in his limbs; he tell
into a lethargic sleep, and remained quite
unconscious to all around him. After
the lapse of a few days he had .a kind of
tetanic spasm, and there was a rigidity
about the stomach which almost prevent
ed him swallowing; generally he was
much convulsed, and he died after• a
weeks' illness.
A post mortem examination Was made
by Dr. Scott, which showed the body
was somewhat emaciated. Nothing was
found in the stomach, except a small
quantity of dark matter ; the stomach
was highly congested, and there was
extravasation of blood in the ventricles
of the brain. In reply to the Coroner,
Dr. Scott said the appearances of the
stomach and brain had led him t i the
conclusion that death had resulted from
poison, and he believed, after having
heard the evidence, that such poison
was narcotic poison, or that which was
c mtained in tobacco. All tobacco con
tained poison, - but the Limerick roll was
an eicecdingly strong kind of tobacco,
and would therefore t.e more poisonous
than the tobacco which was usually sold.
The jury found that the deceased had
died -from chewing Limerick roll, and
swallowing the juice thereof—a stung
narcotic poison."
Curiosities of the Earth.
In digging at the city of llodenia, in
Italy, and about four miles around it
when the workeu'arrived at the depth of
sixty-three feet, they - came to a bed of
chalk, which they bore with an a; ger

from the pit before the auger is remov

bursts in: through the apfrtare with
great violence, and quickly fills this new

ca-Quinine is now the king* medi
cines, and while every one regards it as
the most reliable and invaluable efreni

with quinine and opium they can treat
all diseases. The demand is enormous,
and the inure especially if we recall the
rapidity with which this younger son of
medicine has come into its rights. Into
this country bark found its way fur the
first time late in the seventeenth Cell
tul.y ; and in France it won its entrance
into the pharmacopeia by curing Louis
XIV, being used then for him as a se

livres, 2.000 Livros as
a Iclision, and the title of chevalier.—
The cuinminunication between French
and English physicians was not then

England. Louis XIV ordered its ad
mission into the pharmacopteda. . The

enormous demand apd although the

not to have succeeded so well as the
others.—Lodclun Lancet.

Mother Says So.
"Dear me:" excla'nted Mrs. Jones
to her husband one afternoon : "there
is Mrs. More coming up the lane. She
will stay to tea, -of course, and there
isn't bit of bread in the house ; and just
see how I look I It seems as if that
woman was abroad half the time. Day
before yesterday she spent the after
noon at Mr. White's and yesterday
when I went over to Squire Huggins'
she was there. I reey think it a sin
and a shame for a woman to neglect her
family in the way she does. "Fanny,"
she added sharply, addressing a little
girl seated on the fbor playing with
her dolls, "put your play-things away
directly. How often must I tell you
nut to litter up the floor in that man
ner '?"
Mrs. Jones had hardly time to smooth
her ruffled collar, and still more ruffled
brow, when Mrs. More entered. Ad
vancing to meet her visitor with a bland
smile, she greeted' her cordially, ad
dressing her in a strain in which re
proaches for so long neglecting to call
and delight at seeing her were strange

eyes of the child were fixed on the
mother with a look of mingled perplexi
ty and doubt.
••11ow do you do, Fanny !" said Mrs
More, kindly addressing the little girl ;

child drew back' behind her mother's
