THE CLARENDON IRON WORKS.

The opening Of these works here has been pretty
generally referred to by the press throughout the
State in those warm terms of commentator which
so laudable effort for the promotion OF Southern
industry and Southern independence merits
We have deferred any notice until we could speak
from actual observation of the facilities possessed
for executing all sorts of work proposed to be done
there. This observation, so far time permitted,
we had an opportunity of making yesterday after
noon: and we would here remark that we arc not
totally unacquainted with matters of this kind.
Some years ago knew exactly to hair all the
machinery and everything else required for an es-
Enlistment of the kind, comprising finishing mould
ing blacksmithing, boilermaking and pattern max
ing. We found that in the arrangement of these
works advantage had been taken of all the newest
improvements for facilitating work and saving labor.
The buildings, which have noticed on a for
mer occasion, are planned on scale calculated to
accommodate any amount of business, no matter
how largely it may increase. All the necessary
tools for doing any kind of work have been are
being placed in the establishment and the machine
ry exhibits improvements that we had not dreamed
Of, and with capacity for filling orders for the
heaviest work The whole is operated by beauti-
full forty horse power engine.
In the matter of Iron Railroads. castings, etc;
the great advantage in getting them here instead of
FROM the North, will be that in the event of their
getting broken of any other difficulty occurring,
they can be easily replaced repaired The same
will apply with greater force to machinery
and believe that with the facilities possessed at
these works. they will be enabled to fill orders in
Inelr just as CIedply as well as Iuey Cdu Oe
done at the North. We see no reason why they
should not. All work can be sent from their shop
on Railroad to their own wharf, and placed on
board their fiat, to be carried to the Railroad
DepotS, or to steamboats, or vessels without extra
charge or expense An important item.
This is purely North Carolina enterprise. Every
member Of the company is citizen of this place,
as is also Mr.. Henry NJ Drane, the agent and man
ager who seems to be thoroughly versed in all the
details of the business he has undertaken to conduct
Fo, these reasons we have taken the trouble to ex-
anime the matter thoroughly, as to be able to
speak of it Understandings, and we take pleasure
in commencing it to the Southern people, especially
to the people of this State as emnently worthy of
their support and fully prepared to accommodate
them with anything in its line they may require.

The Kentuckian raised himself from the ground,
perfectly dunn founded by such an exhibition OF
strength, and after rubbing his eyes as though he

Francisco was powerfully built man, standing
six feet 'and one inch in height, and weighing two
hundred and sixty pounds. His muscular system
was extraordinarily developed, and he had been
known to shoulder with ease cannon weighing ele-
ven hundred pounds and a gentleman of undoubted
veracity till living in Virginia. who knew him well,
says, " he could take in his right hand and pass
over the room with me, playing my head against the
ceiling, as though Ihad been dollbaby. My weight
was L 5 pounds. !" His wife, who woman of
good size and fair proportions, he would take in his
right hand, and holding her out at arms length,
up and down stairs in that position. He would take
barrel of cider by the chimes, and holding it to his
mouth, would drink from the bung, long and hear

Yet, with all his strength, he was very peacefully
disposed man, and never made use of his power, eX-
cept in of necessity about his usual vocations,
or in defence of the right. On occasions of out
breaks at public gatherings he better at rushing
in and preserving the public peace than all the con-
sentative authorities on the ground. Although I'M
educated, he man of strong natural sense, and
of kind, amable disposition. He was withal a
companonabe man, and his anecdotes and stories of
the war, of which he possessed rich fund, render
ed him welcome guest in the first families of the
State. His industrious and temperate habits togeth-
with his kind disposition, made him many friends,
and through their influence he was appointed Ser
geant- of the Virginia house of Delegates in
which service he died. in 1886, and was buried with
military honors in the public burying- ground at

ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.-A STRANGE
ScENE-We were witness yesterday morn.
ing to a scene not very common in this part
of the world. A whole family, consisting
of seven persons, father, mother, and five
little ones, rather poorly dressed, stopped
at the pump, corner of Main AMI Third, to
way from North Carolina, some seven hun.
bred miles, and were on their way to Ar
kansas.
The wind was blowing cold yesterday.
and the little ones with their bare feet and
lust from warmer cline, seemed i'll able
to bear il, but they murmured not. Some
Of our charitable citizens gathered around
and in a few moments collected and gave
them $40 10 moIey and some shoes. Who
shall cay what hartships they have passed
through on their long journey. Who shall
tell, the WEAKNESS Of those little feet when
night came on-how heavy their bright
eyes grew--or how soundy they slept till
early dawn! The mother carried on her
head 4 bundle and in her arms babe, not
more than six months old; one little boy
bravely bore up under heavy bundle on
his head, doubtless changed with one OF his
companions; a little toddlng girl OF three
or four years, with her red bare feet, moved
gilbIy along, as brave as the bravest. Louis
Vile 10 doubtless the first great city they
ever saw, and the ten thousand objects OF
interest at every step, could not fail to at
tract their constant attention, allowing
them for time to forge, the weary distance
thew have come, and the still longer journey
before them Louisville Democrat.
