THE WHITE PEBBLE PIT.
Strange Discoveries of Mining Carried 0r.
Centuries Ago. ‘
It has frequently happened thai
- miners have discovered curious traces
of former “'Ol'liiil_".‘5, hundreds of
years ago, and tools have. been found
which belonged to the ancient. miners,
and many other relics.
A singular discovery was made, a
few years since, by some workmen
engaged in the Spanish silver mine
known as the White Pebble Pit.
EIVhile digging their subterranean pas-
’sages they suddenly found a series of
apartments, in which were a quantity
of mining tools, left there from a very
remote period, but still in such good
preservation that there were hatchets,
iand sieves for sifting the ore,;" a
ismelting furnace, and two anvils,
which proved the earliest miners had
great experience in their operations.
, Several objects of art. and some re~
mar-kable instruments, were also
:found, which have led scientific per-
sons to think that the workings might
have been made by the Phoenicians,
the people who, as is well known,
:were, in the time of Solomon, famous
for their manufacturing and commer-
'cial genius. .
In 1854 a discovery was made by
some ‘miners excavating on the other
Qside of the mountain on which the
'IWhite Pebble Pit is situated; this was
a fine figure of the heathen god Her-
‘cules, which was found in an old
ivvorking.

,oflLake Superior, in this country, the
minérs have made many similar disv
coveries, showing th. t the mines were

' The immigration restriction bill re-
cently adopted by both houses of Con-
gress, and designed to exclude after
the 1st of next July immigrants who
are unable to read and write, pro-
vides a peculiar test. At each of the
inspector’s omces of the United
States there are to be pasteboard
'slips with printed extracts from the
Federal Constitution in double small

more than twenty~five words. These
Yslips are to be kept “in boxes, made
for that purpose,” so that they shall

languages. The immigrant, having
designated the language in which he
claims to be proficient, is “required to
draw one of said slips from the box
and read, and afterward write out in
full view of the immigration officer
the words printed thereon.” It will
be seen, therefore, that the plan af-

is an increase of only 175,027 over the

ominous showing, but the Minister of
the Interior is trying to minimize the
alarm it has produced by pointing out
that of late years there has been a
large emigration to the colonies, es-
pecially to Algeria, and that more

An American Bark 133 Years Old Still
Doing Duty in English \Vaters.
The bark True Love, built in Phila
delphia in 176-1, has been found upon
search to be yet afloat in the capacity
of a coal hulk engaged in active trade
at the age' of 133 years. The True
Love has not only outlived her build-
ers and their successors, but has also
outlived every craft that was built in
her time and for many years after-
ward, aud this fact, coupled with the
report that the historic craft is still
engaged in active pursuits, places Phil-
adelphia at the very top notch as a
shipbuilding centre.

was launched on the banks of the

this with the dimensions of.the huge
Hamburg-American Packet Company’s
steamship Pennsylvania, the latest ad-
dition to commerce, whose length is
3:87 fret, while the new White Star
liner building is 704 feet long, and one
will be amazed with the magnitude of
the modern ship of commerce. The
True Love, upon being completed,

1765, and no record is had of her re
turn to this city until August 22, 1873,
when at the age of 109 years she came
into port from Ivitu-t, Greenland, with
a cargo of kry‘olite, in command of
Captain Thomas Nathaniel, consigned
to B. Growlpy. She was discharged
here and surveyed by the American-
Lloyds in October, 1873, and sailed
away, never to return again. Upon her
arrival shortly afterward in London
she was sold and turned into a coal
bulk, in which capacity she still serves.

Booming Patent Articles.
They have a novel method of— push~
ring the sale of patent articles in Lon.-
dcn. A number of men are smartly
dressed as servants and sent out to
suburban shops to purchase the cem-
modity it is desired to boom. The men
are specially selected, with a view to
convey the impression that their em;
plo-ycrs are persons of good position.
A score of these ingenious individuals
will call at all the fashionable shops
in the districts allotted to them, and
ask for the specific article they wish
to introduce. They will insist upon
having this and no other, regarding
with scorn the suggestion that they
might accept a. substitute. In many
cases, of course, the proprietor has
not the new article in stock; but a
few days later a commercial travel-
ler waits upon him with the article
required. A smart tradesman who
dislikes to disappoint his customers
will invariably avtail himself of this
opportunity to give an order for the
article in. question. This shrewd
scheme has proved of undoubted util-
ity in the introduction of a really
good article 0:2 produce. It is scarce-

SPRINGFIELD, M0.
GENTLEMEN: I commenced taking P.
P. P., Lippman's Great Remedy, last
Fall, for Erysipelas. My face was com-
pletely covered with the disease ; I took
a short course of P. P. 1)., and it soon
disappeared. This Spring I became
much debilitated and again took an-
other course, and I am now in good
‘ condition. I consider 1’. P. 1’. one of
the best blood preparations on the
market, and for those u ho need a gen-
eral tonic to build up the system and
improve the appetite I consider that it
has no equal. Will say, anyone who
cares to try P. P. P. will not be disap-
pointed in its results, and I, therefore,
cheerfully recommend it. .
