You will find the residue of the advccs by the
steamer Canada in the several papers. 1t appears
that the reception of Haynau in London was not
quite SO fattering as he probably would have
wished. One who stained his hands deeply in
human blood, and trampled SO brute like upon the
rights OF innocence could hardly expect any other
treatment. The human heart cannot find sympa.
thy for such monster.
The regular train of cars came through to- day
from Philadelphia, bringing the mail in good time.
The damages to the railroad by the recent freshet
have all been repaired.
The Wings of our city arc to have a grand rally
in Monument Square to- morrow afternoon. MIR.
Clark, the gubernatorial candidate, will he present
and address his feow-citizens. / have no doubt
there will be full attendance. The Wings all
over the State aroused 10 action. Especially
since the glorious trumphs in Congress, during
the past few weeks, they have gone to work with
renewed energy. The gloom which seemed to
overshadow land has passed off, and bright
sunshine now illumines and shines upon the olive
branch of peace There is feeling of thankful
ness and rejoicing throughout the Union, and men
look into the future with brighter hopes and lighter
hearts.
MIR. Shriver, Mayor Of Cumberland, and Presi-
dent Of the West Newton Plank Road Company,
is now in city on business connected with that
enterprise. The stock, understand, is now nearly
all taken, and the prospects Of completing the work
at carly very lattering.

A SCENE FOR DARLEy.-lt is commonly said,
when the question is asked why paper of the
chara of Punch never succeeds i'll this country,
that there is not the food for fun, the occasion
for caricature here that there in England III
France; and moreover, that there is lacking in
national character that appreciation of the
ridiculous. which is element of character in the
other countries named. We have always dissented
from this view of the matter being inclined To at
tribute the early decay Of attempts in this kind
to a lack of capacity, what is bad, of capital,
on the part of the would be funny mantle editor.
Certain it is, that occasions constantly occur
ring here which call in the most marked manner
for the pencil of the caricaturist, and the instru-
ment that alone do them justice. What, for
instance, can be more truly comic than the scene
which took place the other day, in the Syracuse
convention, when the reGoubtable "hcro of hun
dred ights," with that bland and forbearing cour-
tesy Of accost which pre-eminently character.

CoPpER OREs AND MANUFAcTUREs.-Thcre are
now three large copper-smelung establishments in
the United States one at Boston, one in New York,
and one at Baltimore. The furnace at Baltimore
requires 5000 tons annually; the Boston
works about the same. The annual consumption
OF smeted copper is 5000 tons, Of which the La ke
Superior mines furnish 1000 tons.
Until the year 1912, the town Of Swansea, in
Wales, possessed a monopoly Of the copper trade.
The copper ores from Chill and Cuba, the late
Australian discoveries, have constituted new
sources OF supply.
England manufactures 25,0O0 tons Of refined
copper annually; the county OF Cornwall alone
furnishes ores for $4,000 tons. ireland, North
Wales and Devonshirc, for 1900 moro. Her own
mines, therefore, supply $4,000 tons, and foreign
mines 10, 900 tons. Great Britain exports $1,000
tons Of refined copper annually. India 10 her
largest customer, France next, and then the Uni
ted States. In the year lSaI, we imported from
England 2,l+5 tons OF manufactured copperj In
1915, 2,2l9 tons; and In 1876, 2,l7l tons-being
over million of dollars in value annually.
Il 10 believed that the Superior mines can supply
tho American msrkct-though II Is doubtful whe-
Their the market can ever be glutted, the demand
increasing immensely with the increased cheap
noss OF the material.

JAPAN.-Some time since an American ship was
wrecked on the coast of Japan Sixteen OF the
were taken into custody by the Japanese authori-
ties confined, and cruelty and shamefuy treated.
Commodore Jones dispatched the Prebe to obtain
the release of these unfortunate men, and to bring
them home. The captain succeeded after the
thories had rcaorted to every variety Of shift and
device for delay, and the men were delivered to
him and brought home. They had been kept in
foul prisons, in cages put into stocks, beat with
ropes ends and bludgeons, made to PROSTATE them
selves before the Japanese and to tranpe the
under foot. In every way they were treated with
the most wanton cruelty and indecency. No Off
cal agent is admitted there from any Christian
government Of the civilized people, except from
Holland, and he tardily aided the American appli
cation 1t is time these barbarans were taught the
first principles of humanity, and made to treat with
common dccency men cast away upon their coast
IL might be well to send out ship or two with an
agent TO make suitable arrangements for such cases
