How A. CAMEL GOES THRoUa II
THE EYE OF a NEEDLE.--The passage
from the New Testament at Is easi
or for a camel, etc, has perpIexcd
many good men, who have read II
literally. In Oriental cities there
are in the large gates small and very
low apertures, called netaphorically
needles eyes" just rs we talk OF
windows as "bulps eyes" These en-
frances are too narrow for camel to
pass thro' them In the ordinary way,
or even il loaded. When loaded
camel has to pass through one, OF
these entrances, 1t knecls down, its
load Is removed, and then 1t shuffies
through on its knees. yesterday"
writes Lady Duff Gordon, from, Cllrc,
/" ! saw camel go through the eye
of a needle--that IL, the .lowarched
door Of an Enclosure. He must kneel,
and bow his head to creep through /;
and thus the rich man must humble
himself"

business cannot survive long in that
locality, highly favored rs 1t was for
merly supposed to be, aud while 1t Is
source of regret to the friends OF
those giants in the trade, that their
works are so unfortunately located,
yet they have the consolation oil
knowing that they are in great deal
better fix than the Carondolet Iron
Company. 1t Is a truth, not fiatter-
ing to human nature, however, that
"misery loves company !" therefore,
gentlemen, you who are engaged In
the iron business IN the youngstown
district" / implore you, I'm this your
time of trial, to look at Carondole!
and be comforted-Sl2 81 for coal

abandon the Carondolet works with

Hon. J. \. GARFIELD, Washington, D. c.: -
SIR:--In September last I adj
dressed a letter to s. u. Morgan, ESQ,
an old and hOnored citizen of Nash
vile, relating to the manufacture Of
iron IN the Southwest, In which !
said that Tennessee, Georgia and
Al .baman would, in time, become
the "Wales of America" In the
manufacture Of iron, in consequence
of the low cost of production. The
section of country referred to abounds
in hemntite and fossil ores, bitumi-
nous coal and limestone, all Of which
enter into the manufacture of crude
iron or pig metal. The ores yield
from forty to siSty-fve per cent. of
metallic iron, the Goals show by an
nlysis from ilfty-five to seventy per
cent. Of carbon, with less earthly
matter and sulphur than the blum
inous or furnace Goals" of Wales,
Newcastle, Western Pennsylvania
and Ohio; while the limestone for
fluX cannot be surpassed. These
rich, mineral deposits lie directly
upon railroads completed and being
built, and can be made tributary to
your city. Herewith submit an es.
innate of the actual cost of one ton
of pig metal, supposing the capacity
of the furnace to he 9, 900 tons per an
mum, located near the beds Of ore,
coal and limestone, and to cost $780,

WASHINGTON, July "a.
A special says that the President in
response to requests of ex-senator
Brown, of North Carolina, who applied
for interference in the operations of the
militia of that State, informed him that
he could not interfere except by request
of the Governor or the Legislature.
A mass meeting of Germans was held
in Milwaukee, last night, in favor of
Prussia in the war with France. A pa
triotic dispatch was sent to Bismarck.
Official dispatches from China give the
correspondence between Minister Low
and Prince Kerna, relative to the death
of Burlingame. Great regret is ex-
pressed by the Chinese officials at the
event, and it is stated that the Burlin-
game mission was gratifying and success
full, and the posthumous rank conferred
on Burlingame was the highest hat
could be given this side of the royal
family.
The German and Hamburg lines of
steamers having been suspended, letters
heretofore going by them on direct routes
will be sent by closed mail via England,
under the old rates, until the war ceases.
The North Carolina Republican Com
mittee telegraphed from Raleigh, last
night, that the Kuklux fred into a COM
pany of Negro militia camped on the
square. The militia returned the fire.
Subsequently a company of White mill
tia, in passing, not answering the senti-
mel, vas fired into by mistake. The
militia sleep on their arms.
