Syria furnished the Romans in ancient
times with iron; and yet its mines seem
inexhaustlblc. The lead of Cariathia is
of an excellent quality, and the quick silver
mine in ldria is unriyalled. In the Tyrol
and in Salisbury there are enormous masses
of sal gemma stretching along the line of
the northern half of these majestic Alps,
which here rise to heigh, hide below that
of Mount Blanc*. Mountains and islands
seem throughout the world to be the native
seats of courage, strength and activity

Hungary would feel the importance Of
such an opening more than any other por-
ton of the Austrian domlnlons and most
assuredly this extensive and beautiful coun-
try deserves the most favorable regaro OF
It's government. How various, how r cb,
