sands to the spot and worked under the lash without any alleviation, care during sickness, or any hope except in death. The account is too long to insert, but stands along with the history of Spanish operations in the gold mines of Hispaniola as an example of what can be done by men who neither fear God nor regard man. The illustration is taken from a tomb at BeniHassan, and includes the operations from the washing of the pounded ore to the making of jewelry. The words of Diodorus, 10 B. C., throw much light on the process employed in his time. He states that the marble shining rock (quartz) is excavated by main force by iron picks and chisels, and carried by boys from the bottom of the shafts to the open air. It is then pounded by iron pestles in stone mortars till the pieces are reduced to the size of a lentil. It is then ground in the ordinary hand mill to a line powder. He then proceeds to say: At length the masters lake the stone thus ground to powder and carry it away

ms can be seen the huge forms of alligators sunning themselves and awaiting some unlucky object of prey. The towering trees are clasped in the vice-like embrace of plants of parasitic growth, and many tottering trunks attest the effect of close companionship. Along the sides of the road and upon the woody banks of the streams passed over are to be seen the thatched habitations of the mongrel specimens of humanity that live on the Isthmus. The rainy season commences in May and lasts until October, and it rains hot water, according to the statement of the residents. The wires of the Isthmus Telegraph Company run alongside the tracks. The dampness of the earth is guarded against by setting the telegraph-poles in concrete: the railroad-ties are made of lignum-vitae, laid on a stone ballast. The telegraph-poles cost $5 each, and the railroad-ties $1.50 and $2 each. The railroad and rolling-stock have probably cost $12,000,000. Stimpson's patents of 1831, 1835, describe the mode o

eat Lakes, where it was formerly thought impracticable. Increased care and skill have developed varieties which may be relied on almost as a sure crop in many parts of the great central belt of the United States. California, however, appears destined to be the great wine-producing region of the future; the absence of frosts, and of excessive moisture at any time, giving it advantages not possessed elsewhere. The gathering of the grapes in the Buena Vista Vineyard, California, is done in October and November. Men, with wooden boxes similar to a claret-box, and holding 50 pounds of grapes each, take a row of vines. They sever the grape-bunches with scissors made for this purpose, fill their boxes, and carry them to a wagon which attends upon every five men. Thirty-five boxes form a load, and a man will fill forty in a day. The boxes are elevated to the third story of the press-house. From a platform on this story the grapes are passed to the hopper of the crusher, which latter co
