The location of the Works as Il Manufac-
turing Site is unsurpassed. Being right in
the heart OF q district that produces one
sixth of all the pig metal manufactured in
the United States, il has the advantage of n
free selection OF metal, and at prices below
those necessarily charged after transporta-
ton TO Il distant market. Being near the
Lakes, the ores of Lake Superior can be de-
livercd at low figures. Block and Soft Coal
are abundant, and by branch of the Erie
and Pittsburgh Railroad, now completed,
can he delivered from the cars into the mill
without teaming. BY the same branch, the
manufactured Iron and Nails can he ship
ped to all points from the door OF the Ware
heuSe without expensive teaming.
The large amount OF Real Estate connect
cd with the works will afford ample Oppor-
tunity for their extension by the Building
OF Blast Furnaces and other improvements
without the possibility OF ever being cramp-
ed for room.
To any one DESTROYS of entering into the
iron business the present opportunity is a
rare ono, as the proprietors are too extern
sively engaged in the Lumber and Glass
business 10 give the manufacture of iron
their personal attention, hence the works
will ho sold on advantageous terms.

FILTRATION.

The proximate cause Of Irritation is
said to be wish to please, to be polite.
and to make the party pass off well; but
the primary one is, we fear, nothing but
selfish wish to slime and to attract
praise. 1t may be all very pleasant but
it is certainly exceedingly wrong; and
being wrong, it is stupid and unwise.--
1t goes against true propriety in both
sexes; with a woman it is unfeminine,
as we'll as iniudicious; with man it is
unmanly. With only one class of people
can it be excused, and that class is a
large ne, formed Of those light, facile,
agreeable persons, who have neither real
heart nor feeling, but fancy they have
plenty Of both; who are compounded of
a graceful desireto please, and conin-
uaI and selfish wish to be pleased, and
who Auttcr from one person to another,
saying tender nothings, and amusing
themselves in butterfly manner, to the
best Of their ability, and to the utter for
getfulness of everybody else. The
only thing that we should wish to do
with these pleasant little parties, is that
which Sam Wellerdid to the Fat Boy,
when he tried to Airt with pretty Mary.
.Ob Sam said he, slowly, 'shouldn't !
like to give her kiss Upon which it
is related that Sam, with long whistle,
took him into corner and dismissed
him with a kick.

PRAYING TO THE GOD OF BATTLES

TO THE GOD OF BATTLES
The other day when NJ. Emile Oliver
was limiting at the possibility of war,
NJ Jules Favrc reproached him with
being in favor of peace. The Interrupt
ton was considered trivial, as a man
may be passionately attached to
peace until driven to war, but it APP
pears that the leader af the Left had a
paragraph in the 10th January" in
view whc he made the remark. "Now,',
wrote NJ. Olivier, Tin Italy, Prussian
Austria, and Bevaria, in every tongue
and according to all rites, prayers are
offered up to the God of battles suplica-
ting becatombs of human beings. We
do not join our voice to those which
blaspheme. we do not believe in
the God Of battles. We believe in a
God Of justice and peace; in God who
holds in His hands the hearts of princes
and of nations, and who bends them as
He wills We ask Him to keep the
chief in whose hands our destinies are
placed from precipitate resolutions and
unjust designs"

underneath, dancing before the cavslcade and
looking in at the first floor windows. The
popular enthusiasm and perspiration were
tremendous. All Belgian celebrities, past
and present, were represented in the cavalcade,
from Lambert Balderie, Count of Louvain,
and his wife Ode, who made Brussels a city
in 1046, downllto the Prince de Lgne. The
eight groups of which the cavalcade consisted
were:-1. The town OF Brussels, represented by
a young girl on a car, surrounded by the indus
tries and arts; g. Brussels in 1046; 3. The Alli-
ance of the Town of Brabant in 1872; 4. Belgium
under the House of Burgundy; 5. In spite of the
Due de Gramont, Charles V, with all his Princes
and Princesses, and all the nations of Belgium,
as In his times the trades of the different town.
ships were called; 6. The Belgian nobility of the
sixteenth century, with, of course, Egmont and
Horn; Z. The renaissance of industry and arts;
and .. Modern Belgium represented by bust of
the King, surrounded by Representations of the
four constitutional liberties. A number of bands
and choral societies, each playing and singing
tunes of its own, accompanied the cavalcade.
The Defenses of Antwerp.
A correspondent of La Pdtrie, writing from
Antwerp, gives his opinion of the value Of that
great stronghold of national independence. First
noticing the disposition of the inhabitants, which
he describes as being very friendly and sympa-
thetc towards France, which is ever remembered
as the chief agent in the creation of the Belgian
kingdom, the correspondent advertsE to the
Notifications which have been lately completed.
" the immense northern citadel, constructed
since 1859, and intended to receive an army of
10000 men, he simply says it is now uninhabit-
able. The action of the tide of the Scheldt
upon the sandy soil upon which the
citidal is formed is ruinous to the works, and
even when tolerable dry position is for time
obtained it is only by the constant action OF
pumping machines. This northern citadel has,
therefore, says the correspondent, been judged
10 be useless, and Antwerp is assailable from
the Folders. That fact is SO far recognized that
efforts are now directed to the arming of the
southern CITADEL created by the Duke of Alba
in 1878, and which is now teeming with troops.
The whole of the works surrounding Antwerp
are ill-constructed, and, Notwithstanding their
apparent excellent workmanship, the writer has
no doubt that in less than ten years time they
will all crumble away, and if before then they
should be exposed to the fire of modern artillery
they would be Immediately DESTROYED.

PHILADELPHIA WEDNESDAY, TO-

Frenchmen have queer notions of patriotism
and are not backward about putting them in
force when they have the chance.
In this connection the following extracts from
q letter from Paris correspondent writing in
the last days of July, are Important
al am reliably informed that the Notifications of
Paris are to be placed In state OF defense with the
utmost despatch. Most OF your readers have seen
them. You know that Paris is surrounded first by
chain OF detached forts, and next by continuous
series OF bastions with ditch and glacis. Some of
the forts are already in state OF defense, but the
enciene continue is not What has to be done is this:
the parape has to be protected by gabions and faso
ines; embrasures have to be cut, platforms con-
structed, and ordnance mounted. Marshal Mel
wanted to have this done in 1867, but he was over
ruled Next the ditch, which is interrupted by the
road at every gate OF the city, has to be cut
across it; draw-brdges will have to
be provided, and probably tambour,
I. G., kind Of aeld-work, built In front. The
nouncement that this was to be done forthwith has
caused no small excitement 1t is, however, no
harm that the Parsians should be made to know
that there are realities In war beyond mere shout
ing on the Boulevards The National Guard will
have to take its turn of duty the Notifications,
be put through the drill, ETC. The works are to be
carried on, believe have already told you, under
the superintendent Of General Count de Chabaud
Latour, of the Engineers. The arming of the fortn
cations will be a gigantic undertaking. / cannot
imagine its being done under years time. The
encene continue laid out in straight line would be
eighteen miles in length"
