President Pierce and the Ex-King Of
Prussia.


Prussia.
The Florence correspondent Of the Newark
Daily Advertiser writes under the date Of
Nov. 81
- = The Ex-King and Queen Of
Prussia made their grand entrance here q
Gay or two since, and took possession of the
tine Hotel de la Ville turned into Palace
for the royal pair and suite. The cortege
comprised twenty carriages and wagons,
from the last Of which sauce-pans and tin
kettles hung dangling, as if hooking with
their discordant rattle the pomp and circum-
stance.of that royalty of which they brought
up the rear Bnt kings must take their
cuisine, as well as their Diamonds about
with them
Ex-President Pierce happened to be
lodged at the hotel demanded for old Fred :
erick William, when the order came to va
cate it. The extatic landlord made haste to
acqualnt his guests of the honor intended
him, limiting alike to one and all the neces-
sity OF seeking other quarters, which hint
was differently received by different temper
aments, but by no one SO 0miably as BY the
ex-President. who conceded in the biandest
manner the right of an ex-king to turn him,
Democratic ex-President out of doors.
Not SO a stiff upper-lipped Southerner,
of family and money, who had been lodged
there himself like any king for some weeks
and who, on receiving the notice, sent the
poor old king and innocent landlord toseth-
er to very bad place, in free Republican
style, and ordered his carriage and bill on
the instant, shaking the dust off his feet, as
he left the unworthy hotel.
As for plain Franklin Pierce Gas he is
named in the list Of passengers to Naples)
every body knows his amiable weakness Of
never having been able to say no in his life,
and the crushing consequence to the polite
Executive, when he found himself between
the upper and neither milestone at the meet
ing OF cross purposes in two individuals, to
each OF whom he said Eyes
The only wonder is, that, when he bowed
the landlord to the door, saying he was too
happy to give place to the honor that await
ed him, that like the amiable son who said,
Il go father and we nt not the General was
not found by the King still occupying the
apartments destined for his Majesty. There

Another year has had lie an.
And slowly tumbled down the hill
That skirteth life's extensive plain.
And left old Time to try again,
It's curious to see the years.
With all their freight of hopes and Saara.
Go bussing round in cycling trails.
Like puppies chasing up their tails
Sill following where themselves have lad.
With Alpha and Omega head.
Hast never seen a fearful eye
bedew some type Of memory
| A tress OF hair-a posy leaf,
wet with the silver drops Of griefs
Dear spot, where such . love doth cling
such wells Of holy water spring!
Sweetneart we've one, grand and sublime.
FOR we are all in love with Time.

From on her swiftly thinning head,
Lets stop moment here, to cry,
In sobbing suffers, "sweet, good bye."-
10 laugh at al her false surmisin0s.
And thank her for her sermonizihgs.
Chief Of thy horrors, staggering year.
See war its murderous shape uprear-
See restless Gains black-branded phost
Sick with the sin Of midas host
See holy Ganges' tainted food
Red with its load of guiltless blood!
The rattle of rebellious steel
The groan, and curse, and grinding heel
The stalwart limb-the quailless eve
kacked with the last great agony
Lads dead in their innocency-
The virgins robbed Of purity
The shrieking mothers farewell breath
Inc fetal babes prenatal death
All this, just God, demands and hath
The favor Of thy veangeful wrath.
Oh deign the very guns to bless
mat blow the Sepoys atomless.

NO. XXXVII.
The Iron Mountains of Missouri.

| In 1888 the mountain known as Iron NOUN
tain" was entered in the government land once
at $l,25 per acre. Three years later the en-
tire tract was sold for $500. Its present value
is almost incalculable for though apparently an
inconsiderable hill, it is more compact and ex-
tensive mass of metal than Pilot Knob, tive
miles distant. It is 228 feet iu height, and its
base covers 500 acres. With the exception of q
thin surface stratum of limestone, it is composed
exclusively of ore, containing II per cent ofpure
iron.
The depth of the deposits has never yet been
ascertained. The Iron Mountain Company re.
Gently commenced boring for an artesian well
at it's base, to supply their works with water.-
After penetrating through 20 feet OF limestone
and 80 of sandstone they again struck the iron
ore, and bored into 1t for $50 feet, when they
gave it up as O protitless undertaking. They
have since constructed reservoir to economise
the waters of q neighboriDg spring.
The ore differs somewhat from that of Eliot
Knob; but the process of mining, roasting and
smelling are identical. There are two furnaces
in operation, both owned by the same company.
and turning out daily about twenty-five tons OF
iron. The company employs 300 workmen.-
The railroad passes over portion OF the "moun-
tain, and within few rods fit, on the same
level, the miners are constantly at work blasting
out and breaking up the ore. ~
Shepherds Mountain, near Pilot Knob, con-
tains rich deposits OF iron,sbut no considerable
amount of mining has been done there. The
ore of all these mountains is stratifed, and seems
to bear evidence of volcanic formation. 1t is
difficult to appreciate their almost iDexbaustible
resources. Professor Swallow, The State Geolo-
gsts of Missouri, asserts that the deposits OF ore
within few miles of Pilot Knob and Iron Noun
tain, above the surface of the valleys, are sufi-
cient to yield one million of tons per annum OF
manufactured iron, for the next two hundred
years
Granite Knob, few miles from here, is, an
other OF natures freaks in this region. 1t is
hill of solid stone, and on the surface some fifty
acres of land are covered with boulders OF course
granite, thrown into all sorts of cratic positions,
and weighing from ten to a Thousand tons.-
Large quantities of mica are found in the yiclnl-
ty. This deposit of granite in the midst OF
limestone region is rare curiosity, and think
unparalleled between the Allegheny and the
Rocky Mountains. F.t st
2 Lead mining has been csrried,on for the last
forty years at various points along the line OF
the st. Louis and Iron Mountain Railway; but
the metal is fond in pockets" of the rock, and
does not exist in large masses, as. through the
great lead region Of Southwestern Missouri

LONDON AND PARIs.-A Paris correspondent
of the Philadelphia Inquirer, speaking Of Lon
don and Paris, says London is much the largest
city of the two, and much the richer in the ag'
gregate; aud while its population, the suburbs
included, amounts to about three millions, that
of Paris is estimated at little more than one mil
lion. The area enclosed within the walls of the
latter city is eight thousand five hundred En-
glish miles, and from North to South the meas
urement is three and half miles, while from
East to West it is nearly five miles. The length
of the wall enclosing Paris, as built by Louis
Philippe, is fourteen miles, and the circuit of the
Notifications is twenty-three miles. This struc:
ture. although erected at an immense expense,
is now considered of but little Importance, ex-
cept in the event of an invasion. Its object at
first was to check or control a popular insurrec-
ton. But such an idea is rdiculed at the pres.
ent time. The city lies in vast plain, .sconsid.
erably above the level of the sea, and is watered
by the Seine. There are six great reservoirs for
the purpose of receiving and distributing water,
and there are no less than twenty three bridges
