But innocent partics ofton sulfer severely, who aro pursulng a perfectly honest and legitimate business, The comments of tho Fremont Coun- ty Record, Colorado, of March 20, forcibly illus- tratehow honest men aro made to suffer by such transactions: ‘There are thousands of mines that have been and will be discovered thiy next season that will, 4f sold for a fair price, not only muke money tor the poor miuer who discovered them, but for the capitalists who Invest their money In them, The iden that every mine that is sold must be stocked for mliltons if absurd.

Indepenitent, March Mr. AL, Turner, a prominent citizen of Allemany, County, Maryland, residing ag Mount Savage, “has just taken out letters patenton very Important invention, and one thatis, in all probabllity, destined ta work speedy revolution In the method of constructing telegraph Jines. Mr. ‘Turner has long been connected with rallronda, and, tho nature of his occupation hing given hin tho fullest opportunity for observation, His Invention Is an arrangement for an under. ground telegraph Ine, and consists of sys. fem of apertured tustifatars Ike the tubes of & locomotive-boller, with the npertures extending longitudinally through thein, The insulators may be made of glass, furnace slag, or any other non-conduetor of electricity having the requisit strength ond capable of realsting the offects of wr and moisture, They may be unde of any desired Tength, and ratige tn diameter acconling to the number of wires to be necommodnted, ‘These sections are provided at one end with a prolectton anda pin or tenon, and at the other ond with a socket or recess, which re. celves the correspontingly slinped projection and stud or tenon, so that any number of the sections may, be united and: formed into 9 continuous tube, water-tight at the Joints ant safe, The pin ortenon regulates the position of the longitudinal apertures in tha different sections, so that « wire may be pushed through a long distance or with. drawn at pleasure without meeting with any obstruetion or coming in’ contact with tha other wires, ‘The tube {s Jald Ino prepared ditch In the Fou aud rests upon bed of concaved locks of any suitable material, Atcertain intervals relays are provided between the insulator-sectlons, These con, sist of ordinary insulators secured upon 9 cross-plece upon an upright post planted in the ground, and carry the wires from one In- sulator-section to’ nother. ‘The detect a breakage or any defect that may arise in any of the wires, and provide facil. ties for testing the wires, and for turning corners, or forming angles, ¥ this method each wire fs separate from the others, and thoroughly Insulated, with- out the additional heavy cost inclosing or wrapping that ‘has’ heretofore been found necessary in some, and we belleve all, in- stanees, and whieh fs objectionable because of tho diticulty experlenced In withdrawing or remoying tho wires from instlator-sec- tlons under ground, in this casa the wires can be Inserted or removed with facility, On the whole, the Invention Is perfect, and just what is wanted. + ‘The advantages of this Invention are mt merous, On of. these ig the comparatively stall cost of construction, which wilt be mich fess than that Incurred in erecting the pole Nnes or putting down underground ines by the methods heretofore employed. Another ig that it does entirely away with tha unsightly poles, which are often a serious nuisnnece in tho cities, and finblo to expensive aceldent by fire and storm, Another is Its safety. The derangement of tho lines by wind and rain, so often occurring in tho pols iines, is ayolded, and numerous other draw? backs are overcome, Already he has received from prominent telegraph officiais in several cities letters of congratulation and expresstve of the highest praise of iis invention, which, we have no doubt, will era long begin to take the placa of the unsightly elephantine poles, et Czars in Hetlromont, Patt Malt Gazette, One canrot very well establish 2 compari: son between the Emperor Alexander and Ivan the Terrible; but, with the exception of the last-named monarc), no Russian ruler ean be mentioned who tins over, like the present Einperor, stepped from the Throne’ as if from fatigue and disgust, to make way temporarily for a pubstirite invested with ful powers to act it higuiame, When Ivan 1V., after suppressing with great savagery an ‘Insurrection of Tirtara in the south of Knzan, returned te Moscow, he obtained from the boyards and the clergy a formal document recognizing his right to dispose absolutely of the persons and property of his subjects. Immediately eatterwards he pro- posed to abandon the government of the Grand-Duehy of Moscow to the boyards, who declined, however, to accept this Hanperdas trust. ‘Thereupon Ivan sent for o Tartar, the Prince of Kazan, whom he bad just made prisoner, and who had been recently baptized, and, crowning hin as King or Czar ot Me ow, gave ln authority to govern the count he hinselt being content, as ho declared, to Jive henceforth as a private per son, enjoying the revenue of Is lmimenso domaink, and not troubling himself as to thelr aditutstration, Lvaa then withdrew to the forest of Alexandrovsk, where he sur- rounded himself with a body-guard, com- initting now and then, ns {f from habit, a few massacres, but tvithout exercising In any othor manner his functions as Czar.
