OUR EUROPEAN CORRESPONDENT.

We have received, by the Acadia, another budget
of interesting letters from our intelligent and valua.
bic correspondent in Europe We give the first in
the series this evening; and it presents subject OF
great importance to commerce, and of some con-
sideraton to the Executive and to Congress. We
shall follow this number up by mis- three other letters.
In the last ofthese he presents valuable statistics
about cotton, and about IRON; showing that
our ironmongers are in no danger Of serious COM
petition from the iron of England and of Wales. He
unhesatingly predicts, that the production of Amer
lean iron "will most assuredly be augmented during
the next ten years in the United States with an I'M
precedented rapidity; and, my word for it, voice
will not be heard throughout the Union that the du-
ty is not Sufficiently high"

The death Of Theodorck Bland, late chancellor
of Maryland, in the 10th year of his age, has been
deeply regretted by the public He was a man Of
great WORTH of fine abilities and of the frmest prn
ciples. The bench and the bar Of the United States
circuit court Baltimore have testified their respect
for his memory in meeting at which Chief Justice
fancy presided. The resolutions were submitted
by Mr.. Charles F. Mayer, with 'some remarks su-

integrity as judge, and his urbanity and coure-

Yours, truly,
AMERlCANUs.

We find in the New York Mirror the following
notice of a forthcoming work of fiction, which will
probably attract good deal of attention in the so
ciety of Washington. Mr.. Thomas, its writer, is
already well and favorably known in literary cir.
cles, both author and lecturer in the depart.

~. w. Thomas, esq, author of Clinton Brad
shaw, has also been engaged for some time past in
the composition Of literary work. IL Is nearly
completed, and will probably be issued in a few
months. From the nature Of the subject, and the
high reputation of the author, do not hesitate to
predict that It will command circulation exten-
sive even than that admirable novel of Clinton Brad
shaw believe it is novel illustrating some very
curious and interesting touching social and POI

deslderatum. No work has ever been written upon
the subject that gives anyhng like correct and spir

no man possesses the peculiar talent requisite for
such a production in higher degree than Mr..
Thomas. His opportunities during residence of
several years IN this city Of acquiring just the sort
of material necessary for the work upon which he
Is engaged, have been very avorable and agsh
say your readers, be on the look out for some
thing worth reading. Mr.. Thomas's reputation
stands chiefly upon his literary productions. This

The Maryland State Temperance Convention adj

next. They wisely cast aside the resolutions intend

Of memoraizing the legislature, and issuing an ad-

THE DANISH SOUND TOLLS.
FKAEKpoRr-ox-rHE- lame,
October 30 1886
DEAK sir: In one Of my letters by the last steam
er, made mshtion Of the appeal OF the Hanseatie
town of Lubbock to the German diet for an exercise
Of It's friendly Offices and of its leg innate powers in
influencing Denmark to consent 10 the construction
Of a railroad from the Baltic to the EIbe, | now
learn, from source upon which | can rely, that
King Christian will be required 70 grant permission
for the execution Of this important public work. and
that there is every probability OF its being com
nenced at an early day, and completed without un-
necessary delay. Il ia understood that the King Of
Hanover, for proper consideration, which the
United States can bestow with advantage To them
selves, Is disposed TO the tolls at Stade upon
the Ebe, far as to place their vessels ard osrgoes
apon entire footing with his own and under such
an arrangement il is very clear that American pro-
ducts, intended for the Baltic, could be transported
more advaniageously across the peninsula OF the
Danish dependencies than through the Elsneur
sound, while the present dues are exaced. Az the
face Of the country between the points is entire
ly level, freight would the route regu-
larly in about two hours; and the distance to ST.
Pstersburgh, Steltin, and other ports Of the Baltic
would thus be shortened some five or six hundred
miles. Our vessels might, then, receive and dis
charge their csrgoes at Hamburger, instead of being
subjected to expensive, long, and hazardous pas
sage by the way Of Esineur; and leave the carrying
in the Baltic to the states bordering upon it, at least
until the sound tolls shall be abolished.
Although no principle in International law is re.
gsrded as better established, just and equ-
table in its operations than the iibtrm mare; yet,
nevertheless, Denmark acts in open violation Of il,
and realizes a revenue from the outrage, upon the
commerce of other nations, Of about one-eighth OF
her entire treasury receipts. A slight modification
Of the tariff Of charges at Esineur on several articles
went into effect the LIST Of June last but upon none
in which the United States interested except raw
cotton. The toll exacted upon our chief products,
which find a market in the Baltic, is US follows

VICE PRESIDENT DALLAS

We have received pamphlet from Philade phia
containing Mr. Dallas's reasons for casting his vote
in favor of the tariff act Of 1886, along with several
replies which he has addressed his correspondents
upon the same subject. The most remarkable OF
these, the most eloquent, and able letter which he
has written, is his reply to the democratic citizens
of Washington county, Pennsylvania.

from fall from his horse" The above was re-

had the honor of Captain Ridgley's acquaintance,
or who appreciates the noble qualities by which he
was distinguished.

visits this s,reeta true specimen Of the times when
the Jews of Frankfort subjected to the most ntol-

quarter will be induced to stop before this neat and
s,mpe house, and perhaps ask, "who Is that VEN
cradle old lady, seated in large armchair, behind
the little shining squares Of the window on the FIRST
story" This Ia the reply every Frankfort will
make: ain that house dwelt an Israelite merchant,
named M. A. RothscriFl He there acquired "a
good name, a great fortune, and u numerous family
and When he died the widow declared she weud
never quit, except for the tomb, the modest dwelling
which had served as n cradle To that name, that

the sad intelligence that the gallant, the chivarous

was impossible to recover, and which he could not
long survive. IL appears that on Sunday, the 25th

OF the hills in the neighborhood Of Moolerey. The
animal fell with great force the brave rider coming

arms, in all Of which thy gallant daring did so sig
