From the New York Evening Post
THE IRON TRADE.
In 1865 there were in the "Black Coun-
try" 1000 pudding furnaces, 1900 iron
workers receiving about Sl,000,0OO per
annum in wages, and producing per
annum $4,000 tons Of finished iron.
The ironworkers, though rude in speech
and fond Of. keeping Saint Monday, are
Kind and hospitable, and more DESTROYS
to educate their children Than the col
liers.
LOCKS AND LoCK-MAKING.
The lock trade is principally centered in
WolyerhamptOn and Willenhall, and the
district turns out the amazing number Of
81 500 dozen locks per week. The prices
vary considerably. There are elaborate
contrivances worth eS piece, and there are
common padlocks at I'd a dozen. The
trade is mostly in the hands Of small mas
tiers, who, in the interior branches, are apt
20 study rapidity Of production rather than
excellence. A proyerb says that if Viii
lenhall maker drops lock he does not
stop 10 pick il up; he can make another in
less time. A master locksmith being taunt-
ed with having made some padlocks
which would only lock once, replied 1T
would be a shame il they did lock twice
fortwopence.P The same locks are now scid
al a half penny eachl One of the lock
making villages bears the singular name of
New Invention. When there was only one
house on the spot, the owner was troubled
with a smoky chimney. He made an APP
psratus 10 cure Il, and was never tired of
displaying his new inyen ton" The nick
name was applied TO his house, and, As
other houses arose, 20 the entire hamlet.
THR sTEEL-PEN TRADE.
The s.aiistice Of the steel-pen trade are
rather astonishing. Ninety-eight thousand
gross Of pens are made weekly, consuming
len tons Of steel. Some Of these pens (of
he barrel sort are worth rs. per gross;
other are sold as low as ] ID. per gross.
Before the gross IL complete one hundred
and forty-four pieces Of steel have been
nsssed through sc least twelve different
processes, 80 that two hundred and eighty
eight distinct operations are performed Tor

JEwELRY.
Half the gold and silver work Of the
T.ondoE shops comes from Birmingham.
though the shopkeepes don't like 10 ae-
knoTledgei Il. The value Of the gold and
liver consumed In Birmingham in the

REPORTED DEATH OF GENERAL
SLAUGHTER.-A gentleman, just from
Mexico, brings us the painful infor-
nation of the death of our late friend
and companion, Gen. j. B. Slaugh-
ter, who for some time commanded
in Mobile when the Confederate flag
still foated in our city. This death,
in strange land, is one of the many
heart-rending incidents of the late
war, and we can safely add that no
man was more worthy of the admi-
ration and love of his citizens
than Gen. Slaughter.
We learn from the same source
that Col. Olodoski, formerly of the
United States Ordnance Department,
and afterwards chief of the same
branch of service under Gen. Bragg
and Beauregard, is now, at his ad-
vanced period of life, working as an
engineer in Mexico at $40 a month,
thus barely able to support life.
Col. Olodoski is a Pole by birth, and
having taken an active part in the
revolution of 1881, had to escape
from Poland into France, whence he
left for the United States, where he
entered the army in the humble ca
pacity of ordnance sergeant-a po-
sition which he honored by his
superior abilities.-Mohze Times,
5th instant.
The jews IN EURoPE.-Great
interest is excited among the Jews
in France by the approaching cleo
ton for a chief rabbi of the Central
Consistory at Paris-the Jewish
archbishop he is frequently called.
A Russian official paper states that
the rabbinical Jews in Russia pos
sess six hundred and fifteen syna-
gogues and two thousand four hum
dred and thirty-fve oratories, to
which five thousand and one hun
dred religious officials are attached.
The Caraites, who are only to be
met with in five governments, have
fourteen synagogues and forty.six
religious officials.
sOf six million three hundred and
thirty-six thousand souls, composing
the population of Poland, the Jews
are above seven hundred thousand,
eleven per cent. of the whole. In
many of the towns the Jewish popu-
lation preponderates, but few Jews
are found in the rural districts,
