which contained 788 pounds of cop per termed barrel work This is the heaviest bar rel of copper for its size and description of con tents we have ever seen rom the Ontonagon Miner eb 26 Mining Matters The Minnesota raised during the month of December 275014 pounds or 137 tons of copper In January the product was only 251185 pounds or more thin 2254 tens Both these sums show a considerable falling off in the monthly product of the mine This may be fully accounted for by the remarkable series of accidents which have happened to their ma chinery during the time irst the collapsing of a flue at the No 3 in January last making a serious delay in the works connected with shafts Nos 3 and 4 After this No 5 shaft house was burned down and the hoisting throngh it was for a time suspended Next the break of the piston head at No 8 engine stopped all hoisting opera tions for a time in Nos 8 and 5 And lastly the hoisting through No 3 was for several days stop ped on account of injuries done to the casing and bed plank of the shaft by the falling of a mass of copper which gave way near the surface and fell to the LXXX level stopping upon the penthouse It was apparently well secured being slung in a inch chain but this proved bad broke through some fault in its construction and this immense weight precipitated to near the bottom of the shaft Since our last notice new points of interest have appeared About 80 feet east of No 9 they have struck a sheet of copper and the ground appears very good This point is about 167 feet from the Rocklaud line The bottom of No 9 shaft is showing masses The largest of these which has been taken away weighed about 1200 pounds The copper is apparently making into the conglomerate here At No 10 the hoisting machinery is in order and they are at work in the level This will advance the work in that part of the mine very much as a great extent of ground may now be cleared through this shaft The winding machinery is worked by the engine at No 6 The extension of the shaft between the and XX will be immediately commenced Be tween the XX and XXX it is already holed and they are sinking and rising at all available points down to the so that the shaft may be in work ing order down to that level in the concise of three or four months The new vein which was cut by a cross cut from the north lode in the XX level nearly opposite No 10 which we noticed several weeks since looks very promising It is wide very regular and i rich in barrel and stamp work The ground in the level under No 10 is very good No 6 shaft is down to the LXX and they are driving east A considerable mass wus encountered west of the shaft and the ground at the bottom looks quite well In the same level east of No 2 there is very good ground indica ting that the drift connecting these shafts will expose a valuable block to the stopers No 3 is now sinking for the XC and No 1 has the penthouse in and will in a few days commence sinking for ths same level In the LXXX be tween Nos 3 and 4 the connection is not yet made But the drift discloses a lode of great val ue The ground above the LXX was very produc tive and the appearance goes to show that this great block which ia near 350 feet in length will turn oat a large amount of copper In the LXX west of No 4 they are driving towards No 5 throngh very good ground In the LX over this place they have encountered a mass about two feet in thickness This level is how nearly con nected with No 5 shaft The works in the con glomerate at the place known as the were resumed some weeks ago as heretofore no ticed in the Miner Daring the past month they took away one mass of near 20 tons weight be sides much smaller copper and the appearance is as good as ever There is still in all probability a world of copper in the conglomerate in vari ous parts of the mine which will sooner or later be made available At the bottom of No 8 the mass which we noticed several weeks ago is still showing well About 20 tons have been taken from it and it is still going down into the shaft Rocklaud Mme This mine is now showingin dications of a character decidedly more favora ble than heretofore for several months past In the XX fathom level some 200 feet east of No 4 they passed throngh a crossing and almost imme diately came upon a mass of copper or rather upon two masses within the one of them ly ing upon the foot and the other npon the hang ing wall with a vein rich in small copper be tween them The vein is large but they will probably have to turn the drift into rock of the country to get around these masses At No 3 shaft they are down to the XL fathom level and are driving both east and west At one point they have a sheet of copper some ten feet in length and promising to yield considerable met al The shaft for two thirds of the way from XXX to XL is throngh ground which is quite rich At No 1 shaft they have sunk about 50 feet nnder the XXX fathom level through rock that shows well for copper The openings now in progress in theRockland promise well though but little increase in monthly product ought to be expected for two or three months But the change in the character of the ground exposed by the new openings is decidedly favorable During the past few weeks several of the citi zens of this district have visited Portage Lake and they bring back flattering accounts of the operations at the mines in that flourishing and rapidly advancing district The magnificent We are informed that a party of three of whom two were Messrs Rood and Speed In the employ of the Detroit and Milwaukee Rail way were

hy Water1 rom the Chicago Press Wednesday There is a continuous water channel from Chi cago to the mouth of Cherry Creek The water route may be thus traced: commencing at the Chicago River thence down the Illinois Canal and River to the Mississippi down that river to the mouth of the Missouri and up the Missouri to the month of the Platte up the Platte to the South Branch of the same up that stream pass ing St ort to the junction of Chdrry Creek There is good navigation to the mouth of the Platte but steamboats have never found a reliable channel on that stream Occasional trips have been made during the period of spring floods high up the Platte But at all other seasons it is a wide shallow rapid stream full of quicksands with shifting channel Since the Pike's Peak fever has broken out the navigability of the Platte is likely to be fully tested Gates Warner Co have just completed a 12 horse power portable engine to propel a scow from Chicago to Auraria at the mouth of Cherry Creek distance by water fifteen to eighteen hun dred miles! Captain Yates late Chief of Police of this city and Mr Vaughn late of the plow factory firm of Vaughn Jones of Naperville are going to the gold mines where they intend to run a saw mill to manufacture lumber They are building a scow at Geneva which will be transported to this city in sections by railroad to be put together here and launched in the Chicago River The scow is 35 feet long by 12 wide and is expected to carry the machinery of a saw mill a crew of five men provisions for six months some tool chests aud the aforesaid 12 horse power engine which will furnish the motive power to turn a stern wheel with which it is expected to propel the adventu rous craft upon her long voyage It is calculated that the scow will not require over a foot of water as her draft will not exceed ten inches Capt Yates intends to leave this port and steam up tbe Chicago River as soon as the Canal is open for navigation He will then push ahead to the mouth of the Platte with all possible dis patch There he will wait until that river rises sufficiently to justify an attempt to steam up He expects to find the Platte on the rise for two or three weeks after he entersits mouth He thinks he can find plenty of water to the South ork which is some distance above ort Kearney and he hopes to find navigable water to St Train's ort which is in the vicinity of the mines lu tbe event that he sticks fast and can proceed no farther his plan is to take his machinery and provisions onshore charter some ox teams load up and push ahead to the diggings As the great wagon road to California runs along the bank of the Platte from ort Kearney to the mines and hundreds of teams will be traveling that highway there will not be much difficulty in finding con vcyancein case the water gives ont Wo wish the Captain

likewise said that tbe Emperor has already had some sharp altercation with his cousin Prince Napoleon not only on the speech made at Genoa by the latter but on the very positive language held by him to Hie Cabi net at Turin You have pledged me beyond your instructions my cousin" was the observation on the morning of the last projected ball at the Tuileries Whereupon his cousin flew into a towering passion and at 9 o'clock a message came from the Palais Royal to say that none of the Jerome party would honor tbe palace with their company The Emperor declared him self go out of heart and spirits altogether that he too could not face his lieges and therefore the Empress alone was present to do the honors Another version of the story is that the Emperor in consequence of the return of his usual malady in hia leg had applied a blister and when riding in the morning contrived to rub it aud that al though dressed for the ball the pain he suffered was so great that it was impossible for him to be present Great disappointment was course felt at the absence of tbe Princess Clothilde The impres sion her Imperial Highness made at tbe opening tf the Chambers waasufficiently in her favor to excite more than ordinary curiosity: Her youth ful years and after all youth is greatest stood tbe blaze of sunlight better than the Empress for whom the gorgeous salon and the midnight chandelier are better suited Men began to rave about her Titian hair her Italian complexion fair as a and velvety as most favored child but further expe rience has ascertained that the young Princess has really no pretensions whatever to tbe palm of beauty beyend her youthfulness Her profile is bad and her figure is yet a mere angular skeleton The general expression of her featuresis rather disagreeable aud her salutation stiff and free from grace It appears that she has been brought up in tbe most childlike seclusion and that of the world into which she is thus suddenly launched she has not the remotest conception She is said to be of a devout turn of mind and a chapel is in process of erection in the Palais Royal near her private chamber As yet old Jerome is her chaperon in visiting the beauties of Paris and has indeed specially taken her under his charge It is also said that the venerable heaupere made a point of lire Emperor and Empress going down to ontainebleau to receive his son and daughter in law but that the Cabinet represent ed that such a condescension was entirely infra dig it is difficult to avoid feeling some compassion for the Emperor in his relations with his uncle and his family It was but yesterday that this same uncle under favor of Louie Philippe was living in very humble lodgings in the Champa Elyeees a pensioner of tbe King of Wurtemtierg whose sister he had married No man was more perfectly bankrupt in puree and character than the ex King His debts of honor were never paid His gambling transactions were so con temptible that he condescended to tbe lowest arts and his relations with the other sex were those of a debauchee of tbe vilest order Sud denly by no merit or venture of his own he has become a fly in amber Palaces retinues equipa ges and countless wealth surround him aud for the generous hand that has conjured up such a path of roses for his declining years be has naught but sneers exorbitant demands and in gratitude Prince Napoleon his son is a grossly injured man if he doesnot greatly resemble his sire in all things Turn wherever you will you hear but the same story This will account for the cool ncss of his reception on Monday last when to gether with his bride he was invited to a ball at the Hotel de Ville Buch being the grand civic honor which the municipalities bestow on all the great princes and potentates of tbe epoch The Princess Clothilde was dressed in a rose colored silk shot with gold with flowers in her hair five rows of pearls on her neck and a line of large diamonds and emeralds edging the up per part of her corsage That magnificent edi fice the Hotel de Ville with its gorgeous rooms all redolent of crimson and gold was converted into a palace of the fairies flowers and fountains paintings and statuary mirrors Gobelin tapes try and silken fauteuils set in gold wooing tbe guest at every turn The young Imperial bride aarveyed all with the calm of an Indian who finds herself for the first time confronted with civilization The quadrille was thus formed: the Princess Clothilde and Baron Haussman the Prefet of the Heine and host of the Hotel de Ville Princess Mathilde and Baron Hubner the Austrian Ambassador Princess Anna Murat and Delangle Minister of the Interior tbe Mar quise de Villa Marina and the Sardinian Minister In a second quadrille the Princess Clothilde danced with Delangle and Prince Napoleon with Madame Mousanmn While making the tour ofllie Bne wuik a by the side of the Princess Mathilde but it was observed that Prince Napoleon at no time gave her his hand or arm The party which remained about two hours paused before leaving to cast a cdup d'teii over the magnificent building un equaled in fact in Europe and admire the beau tiful horseshoe staircase in the court ot Louis XIV with its statues of white marble and its long range of pearl like lamps running up the sides The assemblage was estimated at some thing like 8000 Certain jeux demote were let off sub rosa at the exense JI s'allie a la Sardaigne is one the verb s'allier meaning to detile as s'allie means ally himself The marriage is termed that of the mayuerau and the sardine the term mayuerau having I believe some invidions signification as well as that of the mackerel The sobriquet ot Plon plon is changed now to Crain imply ing the fear of lead When the King ot Sardinia informed his youthful daughter that he had lietrothed her to Napoleon a rench Prince it is slyly observed that to her remark that she should have preferred a husband of her own country Cependant' ma chere" tbe King replied en aurez un Savoyard" the term Savoy ard from the orgau griuding monkey carrying habits of the people being synonymous with ad The decree relative to the extension of Paris appears to have put building speculators on tbe quinine A company it is said has been already formed for the purchase and building on a large tract of land composing the Chemin de Ronde the octroi and all aud a part of the outer Boule vards On this space as many as 15000 houses can be built which would immediately be inhabit ed and serve enormously to reduce the present high rente of the capital I ought to have mentioned that at the ball given in honor of the marriage ot Prince Napoleon and Princess Clothilde all the principal Americans in Paris were present The ball which is to be given on the 22d in honor of the birth of ashington and for which the tickets are thirty francs is receiving so many adherents that one of the most brilliant meetings of the season will probably be the result Ameri can beauty is intensely admired here much more than that of the English With all that charm of complexion which the kindred nations possess in common the ladies of the United States un doubtedly excel their cousins of the old country in the arts of the toilette Indeed it is quite im possible to distinguish them from rench women whereas with respect to the English the distinc tion is very marked Independent of this their manners and conversation have less of that pure ly domestic character proper to the English It would seem as if the cares of the menage ate into the very soul of British ladies to every other sub ject with whom except the one connected as the rench say with the all pervading hot au feu a stranger finds but little response whereas the American woman iaspirituelle on all oc casionally a little too national abroad but always lively intelligent and full of esprit or this rea son it Is that the moment the ball in question was talked of applications from rench cavaliers for tickets became so numerous The applications to Prince Napoleon and his bride for their interest towards obtaining gov ernmental offices are so incessant that this morn ing an official announcement appears in the Moni teur to the effect that no answer will in future be vouchsafed The Emperor drives out in his phaeton every day and judging from appearances must be in exuberant health His countenance looks full fresh clear and altogether indicates tranquility of spirit and a strong digestion Correspondence ot the Times Pa ris eb 17 The fashionable world is at last awakened rom the

secured by a mortgage on her estate known as of forty acres the dowry to take effect on the de mise of the Colonel and his lady This marriage contract was executed in Paris nnder the laws of rance The

Wednesday A curious case came before the Supreme Court yesterday which sheds incidental light upon the matrimonial brokerage business in this city A suit ia brought by Robert Nellis against George Crouse and his wife for $1000 commission in getting a husband for the woman which husband is the defendant George our years ago Mrs Cronse was a gay widow in search of a partner She was in excellent health of good bodily vigor ample fortune and of an amorous and affectionate disposition She wanted a hus band and told Nellis that if he would introduce her to the proper1 man for such a situation she would pay him a thousand dollars Nellis accept ed the commismon and brought np John Cam mings of Canajoharie in this State Cummings was on probation for a while bnt did not Nellis started for the country again and succeed ed in capturing a military man known as Major reeman all the way from Saratoga county reeman had a long siege of courtship but the twain failed to unite and reeman is a free inan still The third effort is tradition ally the grand trial if that foils abandon hope Nellis made a third essay and this time induced the defendant Cronse a kinsman of his own by the way to undertake the difficult task of suiting a widow ortune and the widow smiled upon Crouse and a year ago the bargain was completed by marriage Nellis asserts that by his introduction of Crouse the widow got the much desired husband and that she or they rightfully owe him $1000 commission as promised but never paid The complaint is certainly a strange one but the defence is still more singular The promise does not appear to be denied the service is apparent for there is the husband' brought in as proof but the ex counsel argues that the claim is against public policy and that no such system of brokerage Is recognized in com mon law as it is against good morals The case created considerable excitement yesterday and strenuous efforts were made to keep it out of the newspapers so we suppose we

episode occurred on board the in coming passenger train on the Michigan Central Railroad day before yesterday which afforded considerable amusement and gossip to the pas Bengers who enjoyed it exceedingly A gentle man who was on board the train having politely given up his seat to a lady who came on at one of the way stations in company with a child was of fered and accepted a seat alongside a handsome and stylish young lady who had one all to herself The position was not an uncomfortable one as every way worn traveler knows who is lucky enough to find an agreeable and talkative female companion to amuse him through the tedium of a railroad journey She chattered and laughed until the shades of evening set in and the gloom of a dubious twilight so characteristic of railroad cars rendered even gay spirits a doubtful anti dote to sleepiness when following the example of all around her she gradually grew silent aud subsided into an uninterestingstate of taciturnity whose only expression of sentiment was an occa slonal nod in answer to the remarks of her com panion Even these finally ceased and she fell fast asleep when by a very natural course of events there ensued a state of affairs which was not at all disagreeable to the wakeful By gradual degrees the head leaned to one side and descended in graceful nods until it rest ed tairly on the shoulder The sweet relaxation of sleep unstrung every nerve and in entire abandonment her form' gradually nestled down until its weight bore entirely upon him To support tbe gentle burden the better ho placed his arm about her waist and with a sigh gave himself up the delicious intoxication of the moment which was perhaps the first that had ever afforded him the joy of holding so much tempting beauty in his arms or of feeling so warm and fragrant a breath on his cheek from lips in proximity close enough to taste without kissing He thought of course that lie a shame to disturb so pretty a tableau and winked to the con ductor as much as to say you wish you Conductors enjoy their Joke as well as other folks and ours said nothing ranking the case with a class which in the manual comes uader the head of business so long as they behave themselves" The train passed Battle Creek where the Detroit train meets aud sped Shortly after leaving the station the car door opened and a gentleman entered who seemed in search of somebody Ho examined the faces at tentively as he walked along in the very dim light taking a long and puzzled stare at the couple of whom we have been speaking Having reached the end of the car ho then turned back as if in doubt and in passing again paid his re gards in a very inquisitive manner to the cozily situated pair He seemed to arrive at a conclu sion finally and again walked back to the place The gentleman who held the lady had his hat pulled over his eyes and did not notice the at tention with which he was regarded until he saw the other reach over and tap his lovely compan ion on the shoulder She opened her eyes dreamily and looked up seemed to recognize him and then turned her caze in bewilderinHnt tn the face of her supporter At last she seemed to realize her position and started up with an ex clamation of terror The new comer then ad ministered a tap to the gentleman whom he had found in so equivocal a situation and informed him that he wouldrelicve him of his trouble and take care of his own wife if he had no objections The latter arose with imperturbable coolness and walked forward followed by the other with wrath in his eye The passengers who had meantime become quite interested saw some expressive pantomime and a few words passed after which the husband returned to the lady aud sat down with a suspicions air which her smiles failed to clear up during the remainder of the trip The gentleman who had been ousted told the story with a malicious smile which ran as follows: The lady had been absents long time and was re turning to Detroit to her home and husband The latter being over anxious to had taken the outward' bound train which met the one upon which be expected to find his beloved at Battle Creek and upon getting on board full of anticipation at the meeting had been saluted by tbe sight which we have quite a differ ent one from what he expected Whether his doubts finely cleared up is not known but spectators set it down as a certainty that tbe lady would not soon be caught napping again in a railroad car: pl where it is dealt out and other circumstan th which have been fully enlarged upon in

reputation fin ti' Jood lager drinker suffer and in consequence imtuagos to orry down from six to ten glasses before leavingl Git it is not our intention at this time to dilate upon the drinker or the saloou but to go behind both these and visit the manufactory There are im less than twenty lager bier breweries III this city in full operation and each has all the busi nes it can do Some of these establishments are infoi ior to none in the United States and all are being rapidly brought up to perfection The amount of capital employed in this businpss in tins City is not less than $250000 and is even es timated by some persons at double that amount Uris therefore not to bo looked upon as an insig nificant business The first step in the manufacture of lager bier is to procure th'e stock Hops malt and yeast the same as in ale compose the sole Ingredients Of the lager The hops are procured by the large mauuiacturcr direct froui the grower in Otsego or Herkimer county in New York while those not so extensively in the business procure their supplies of tbe hop dqaler here The malt is slso purchased by thq latter class who have not the convenieijces for ita manufacture The ingredi ents are mixed boiled drawn off and cooled pre cisely in the same manner amf with the same ap purtenances as for ale Indeed it is all beer until the yeast is put in and Jt is sbt for fermentation here the process differs When the liquid has become say a temperature of forty degrees ills passed through conductors con veniently arranged to a chamber under ground Hero are arranged long rows of huge tubs or vats each of a capacity of fifty or seventy five barrels as the case may be into which the liquid is pour ed Great care is observed to keep the tempera ture of this apartment at a proper stage It is not allowed to be above thirty eight degrees nor below freezing or thirty degree' and it Is for this reason that the liquid is so carefully cooled before it is brought down lest its heat should be imparted to the atmosphere of the vault There is of i nurse no light hero but that of the tallow candle which the workman carriea in hie hand The yeast being mixed with the beer and the vats filled to within a few inches of their tops it is left to ferment the date when each vat w'as being chalked upon it After two or three days a very thick crcarn like froth rises to the surface which is very beau tilul to appearance hut contains the very essence el Aliittei'ness The beer remains standing un touched during two processes of fermentation known as the and the fermenta tion" The former brings the yeast to the sur Ueofthe liquid beneath the covering of froth In a short time it again disappears and finally col i' Is at the bottom of the cask or vat which is ihsiguated as the under fermentation To ac "itiplish these two processes requires from eix" ten days With ale the yeast is drawn of! when it first rises and the beverage is then ready i use But the Inger is now just commenced 1 he vat is supplied with a faucet inserted just above the yeast so that the liquid can be drawn off without disturbing the yeast It is then conduct ed into another vault or cellar beneath the fer menting cellar where it is put into huge casks "I I lie capacity of fifty barrels or more These mks lay upon their sides and are carefully closed to exclude the air This process is called lay ing" the bier The casks are marked with the date when they were filled and each remains un moved and untouched at least six weeks Some brewers let their bier lay three and four but none less than six weeks Even greater care ti taken in the laying cellar to keep the tempera ture at a proper point than in that where the fermenting is done tive degrees ahren heit is considered a good state of atmosphere and it must never le allowed to become more than two or three degrees warmer or colder than that Tbe apartment is never opened unless when necessary to put in or take out the bier at which times every thing is put in readiness beforehand ro that the door shall be kept open the least poa sibls length of time In order more fully to regu late the temperature a well constructed bier vault has an apartment filled with ice communicating withit which may lie opened or closed as oc eiision may require When the bier has lain its proper length of time it is ready for use The bier liefore lieing taken out of the vault is draw off into barrels half barrels or kegs and a cask is never refilled until it has been cleansed This cleaning is done once a year when all the i asks are hauled up tbeir heads taken out and the interior thoroughly washed and They are then scalded and put back to be refilled The keg of bier is kept in a cool place until re quired for use and when tapped should be drank immediately The German lager drinker will sit a whole evening in a bier halle and only drink a glass as a fresh keg is tapped never takings second glass from the same tap The brewers of Detroit make much more bier than is required for home consumption The principal towns in the State get their supplies here and large 'lusntitics are shipped to Buffalo Toledo Cleve land Milwaukee and Chicago Some of the bier made hero has a reputation for excellence un equaled by any manufactured in the United States ike A i The city was full of fire alarms last evening none of which were traced to auy
