Salt Wells in thh United State
The consumption of salt in this coun
try is enormous but of unknown mag
nitude. Our supplies come from the
West Indies and reat Britain chiefly,
and Liverpool salt is nothing more
than that of the West Indies improved
by grinding. A great deal is derived
too from domeslio distillation. It
will be remembered that an important
duty performed by the Navy along
the Atlantio and Bay coasts of the
Southern States was the destruction
of all salt factories, some of which
were unexpectedly large and well fur
nished, nod turned out immense sup
plies. Besides being produced by so
lar evaporation of sea water, as in the'
cases alluded to, salt is aiao ootainea
in this country from distillation of the
brine of salt springs and from the
borders of salt lakes, where the eun
evaporates the water. Now York
and Western Virginia, and Ohio and
Mohigan furnish something of the
former. Texas and Utah provide the
latter. The business is now voay im.
portant, since we consume some twenty-eight
million bushels annually. As
long rgo as 1829 tho wells of Kanawha
river produced about one million bush
els of salt annually, which was alter
wards increased to some three millions.
The wells were sunk from 800 to 1500
feet, and the Holsten river salines
produced about 250,000 bushels annut
ally. The salt springs of the river
Kiskiminetas, in Western .fennsylva
nia, yielded about one million bushels
annually, and from what we have
heard ot the product in too nortnwes
tern part of the State, wo expect to
nave this produot ureativ increased
by the next census. There were some
half million bushels produced in the
Hocking Valley and Poraeroy salines
of Ohio in 1855, and the yield must be
vastly larger now. There are three
great salt basins too in Michigan : 17,'
000 square miles in the valley of the
o ; ; , ' r r rn i
oaginuw river, producing ou.vuu ousm
ols iu 1850, have been so enlarged by
closing the Kanawha works that more
than 3,000,000 bushels were made in
1863. This finds its market in the

The association owning them has a
capital of $160,000, and in four years
they have paid to the stockholders
$944,000. The total prod net of the
country is about 17,000,000 bushels

tions of Pompeii are going on withtan
activity stimulated by the important
discoveries made, almost -at every
step, and the quantity of gold and
silver found much more than suffioes
to cover the cost of the work. Near
the Temple of Juno, of which an ac
count was recently given, has just
been brought to light a house, no
doubt belonging to some millionaire
ot the time, as tho furniture is ot .ivory
bronze and marble. The couches of
the tricilinium, or dining room, are
especially of extreme richness. . The
flooring consists of an immense mo
saic, well preserved in parts, and of
whiuh the contre represents a table
laid out for a grand dinner. In " the
middle of a large dish, may be soon
large peacock, with its tail spread out
and plaood back to back with another
- bird, also ot elegant plumage. Around
them are arranged lobsters, one of
which holds a blue egg in its claws, a
second an oyster, which appears to be
friccaseed, as it is open and covered
with herbs; a third, a rat faroi, and a
fourth, a small vase filled with fried
grasshoppers. Next comes a circle
of dishes of fish, interspersed with"
others with partridges, bares and
squirrels, which all b .ve their heads
placed between their fore feet. Then
lomes a row of sausages of all forms,
supported by one of eggs, oysters and
oliveB, which in its turn is surrounded
by a double circle of peeebes. cherries,
melons aad other fruits and vegetables.
The walls of the triclinium are cov
ered with fresco paintings of birds,
fruits, flowers, game and fish of all
kinds the whole interspersed with
drawings w.hich lend a charm to the
whole not easy to doscrioe. un a ta.
