A Superior MANA certain nobleman,
some years ago, was conspicuous for his success
in the world. He had been employed in the
highest situations at home and abroad, without
one discoverable reason for his selection, and
without justifying the selection by one proof of
administrative ability Yet at each appointment
the public said, "a great gain to the Government
superior man." And when from each office he
passed away, or rather imperceptibly onward to-
wards office still more exalted, the public said, ga
great loss to the Government superior man !"-
He was the most silent person l ever met But
when the first reasoners of the age would argue
some knotty point in bis presence, he would from
time to time slightly elevate his eyebrows gently
shake his head, Or by dexterous smile of sig
nifcant complacency, impress on you the notion
how easily he could set those babblers right, if
he would but condescend to give voice 10 the wis
dom within him.
. was very young when first met this superior
man and CHANGING the next day to call on the
late Lord Durham, said, in the presumption of
early years, 81 passed six mortal hours last eve
ming in company with Lord -. don't think
there is much in him."
"Good Heayens' cried Lord Durham, chow
did you find that out? Is it possible that he
could bave-talked 9"-Sir E. b. Lsjtton.

Enigma.

Twas whispered in heaven, twas muttered in hell,
And each caught family the souid d as it fell;
On the confines of earth twas permitted TO rest
And the depths of the ocean its presence confessed
Twill be found in the sphere when tits riven asunder
Be seen in the lightning and heard in the thunder.
Attends at his birth, and awaits him in death;
1t presides DER his happiness, honor and health,
Is the prop of bishouse, and the end of his wealth
Without it the soldier, the seaman, may roam,
But woe to the wretch who expels it from home.
In the whispers Of conscience its voice will be found
Nor cen in the whirlwind of passion be drowned
Twill not soften the heart and though deaf to the
Twill make it acutey and constantly hear.
But in shade let it rest, like delicate flower
Oh breathe on it softly-it dies in an hour.-Byr0n

Iualatln River, Oct. IL 1907. \
EDITOR OREGoNIAN: Sir-Not having seen
any comments in your paper, have concluded
that you were not aware tLat there were being
erected on the Tuaatn river, within four miles
of Oregon City, works preparatory to the manu-
featuring of iron from native ores. That there
are several extensive beds in this vicinity and so
far as tested, found to be equal to Lake Superior
ore, is generally known and accepted fact. In
conversation with the gentlemanly proprietor and
builder M. A. K Olds, find that his Works are
prepared to manufacture wrought iron, such as is
known by forgemen to be drafts; for instance
cranks, shafting, screws, mill irons, plow-shares
shovel plows, wedges cultvator teeth Golfers, and
in fact every description of heavy wrought-iron
work that may be called for. The works are
more than half completed, and with fair weather
will be in operation inside of six weeks The
present Works are calculated to manufacture six
tons per week, although it is not calculated to at
te npt to manufacture more than three tons du-
ring the first month or so. There seems to be a
difficulty in obtaining first class hammersman.
am satisfied that should one apply he would com
mand extra high wages.
Imagine, Mr.. Editor, a pioneer Iron Works
that from tie start will burn l,S0O bushels Of
charcoal per week AS for dimensions of such
portions of the works now on the ground: draw
ing beam ID by 4 feet, 40 feet long, posts 2 II
by ID feet, and other timbers in pror ortion ::
Hammer, 700 pounds, Collar, 1000 pounds
manufactured at the Oregon City foundry and
machine shop.
The facilities for obtaining coal at and around
these Works, excel that of any other country
where iron is now being manufactured. Coal
burners tell me that the timber makes the best of
coal. Ofthat we have an abundance.
Mr.. Olds assures me that it will be found that
we have in abundance, native steel, an article
scarcely known. should not be surprised to find
that in the course of few years the iron beds of
Oregon will command the attention of capitalists
from all parts of the civilized world. That we
have superior iron to any now in USE there is
scarce doubt. Mr.. Olds has samples from seven
different beds, all equally good. l send you a
small sample of or that has been kindly pre-
sented to me. Respectfully,

The WIDOWS PARADIsE.-We are glad to see
in general orders that the Commander-in- Chief
has called for returns, showing the proportion of
married to unmarried men in each European
regiment and battery in the Bengal Presidency,
on the 1st of May of each year, commencing
from the LIST of May 1862. twill be found that
the 12 per cent. limit is not reached, because the
men, up to that limit, not allowed to marry in
England, and cannot find wives here. No bar
rack woman as a rule, is a widow for more than
three months. She is married at once-.4Hen's

HEROIC CONDUCT OF TWO LADIES The
conduct of two young ladies of Danvile, on
the occasion of the arrival of the rebels at
that place, was equal to our idea of Spar
tan courage. For many months beauti-
ful specimen of the National flag has hoated
from the residence of Mrs. Taylor, an esti-
mable widow lady, and when the rebels
took possession Of Danville it was but ma
tural that they should seek to remove the
hated emblem. A squad of a half dozen
men were sent to Mrs. Taylor's residence
to take possession Of the flag, but they
were confronted at the door Of the resi-
dence by Miss Maria and Miss Matte Tay-
ior, the two accomplished and charming
daughters of the patriotic widow, the young
ladies announcing their determination to
defend the cherished banner. The chival-
rous half-dozen returned to their comman-
der and reported that it would require a
force equal to a full company to capture the
flag, and company was accordingly dis
patched to make the capture. Arriving in
front Of Mrs Taylor's residence, the COM
mander Of the company demanded the sur
render Of the flag but the two young la
dies again made their appearance, bearing
the flag between them, each armed with a
revolver. In response to the demand for
the flag, the ladies informed their persecu-
tors that they never would surrender it to
rebels, and, drawing their pistols, vowed
that they would shoot the first rebel that
polluted the sacred emblem with his foul
touch The company of rebels retired
leaving the ladies IN the quiet possession of
their flag, which they yet retain.-Louis-

The Throne of Solomon.

The following account of a remarkable piece OF
mechanism is taken from a Persian manuscript
called the "History of jerusalem" 1t purports
to be history of the throne Of King Solomon,
and if the details are correctly given, it undoubt-
edly surpassed any specimen of mechanism pro-
duced in modern times, notwithstanding the won
derful inventions and improvements which have
lately taken place in every branch of science:
"The sides of it were of pure gold, the feet of
emeralds and rubies, intermixed with pearls each
of which was as big as an ostrich egg. The
throne had seven steps; on each side we're de-
lneated orchards full of trees the branches of
which were composed of precious stones; repre-
senting fruit ripe and unripe. On the tops of
the trees were to be seen figures of beautifully
pumaged birds, particularly the peacock, etuab
and the kurges. All these birds were followed
within artifcally, so as occasionly to utter thou
sand melodious notes, such as the ear of mortal
never heard. On the first step were delneated
vine branches, having punches of grapes COM
posed of various sorts of precious stones, fash
oned in such manner as to represent the differ
ent colors of purple, violet green and red to rem
der the appearance of real fruit. On the second
step on each side of the throne, were two lions
of terrible aspect, as large life, and formed of
cast gold. The nature of this remarkable throne
was such, that when Solomon placed his foot on
the first step, the birds sprang forth their wings
and made huttering noise in the air. On his
touching the second step, the two lions expanded
their claws. On his reaching the third step, the
whole assembly of demons and fairies repeated
the praises of the Deity. When he arrived at
the fourth step, voices were heard addressing him
in the following manner: "Son of David, be
thankful for the blessings the Almighty has be-
slowed on you" The same was repeated on his
reaching the fifth step. On his reaching the
sixth, all the children of Israel joined them and
on his arrival at the SEVENTH all the throne, birds,
and animals became in motion and ceased not un-
til he had placed himself in the royal seat, when
the birds, lions end other animals, by secret
springs, discharged a shower of the most precious
kurgesses descended and placed golden crown
upon his head. Before the throne was column
of FURNISHED gold, on the top of which was a
golden dove, which held in its beak volume
bound in silver. In this book were written the
Psalms of David and the dove having presented
the book to the king he read portion off aloud
to the children cf Israel 1t is further related
that, on the approach of wicked persons to the
throne, the lions were wont to set up terrible
roaring, and lash their tails with violence; the
birds also began to brisle up their feathers; and
BILE cries. SO that for fear of them no person dared
to be guilty of falsehood, but all confessed their
crimes. Such was the throne of Solomon, the
son of David"

TROUBLED WITH HUMoR.-An applicant for

him to run up and down the stairs leading to his
