Oh wish some one would tel me what fellow ought

With politics in such fx-election coming too;

If Greeley were an angel now, and General Grant

They both have many strong points, but of weak ones

So one day shout for Greeley and the next hurrah

For Curtis says that Grants all right. but TrumbuH

While Fenton smiles on Greeey-and Butler leers on

Then how can one help thinking that there's been

When he sees the sage Of Chappaqua coquettng with

If he'll shrink from lifelong teaching he is not the

And later Franklin though he be-rn cast my vote for

ward until he thought he was
coming to a waterfall, when he
returned.
Further explorations on the
lake developed the fact that
the noise was made by a huge
waterfall, where the waters
came pouring in from above
The water falls distance Of
sixty feet. The lake is circular
in shape, and has no visible
outlet for waaer. 1t is about
100 acres in extent. There
are eight or ten dark passages
found upon the banks of the
lake, leading in all directions,
but the guide accompanying
the exploring party lost his
courage and refused to go
further. The party were then
about eight or ten miles from
their starting point. They
were in the cave forty,three
hours, Mr.. Carpenter says
there was another entrance to
the cave thirty miles away,
which old trappers and hunters
say leads to the lake.

two millions seven hundred
and fifty thousand tons. De-
Quoting from this the nine hun
dred and six thousand tons
needed for railroad construc-
ton, we have remaining one
million seven hundred and
eighty.four thousand tons for
railroad equipment, building
purposes, gas and water pipe,
machinery, the manufacture of
hardware, bridges, ship-build
ing, and a thousand other Uses
for which iron is employed, or
less than half the estimated re.
quirement. 1t would appear,
therefore, that there must be a
curtailment OF consumption in
some direction, or an active
competition among consumers
for the limited supply. Still
we cannot think it probable
that there will be any great
advance on the very high pri>
ces now obtained, for prices

that they must soon stimulate
production to q point which
will meet the requirements of

The Scarcity of Iron.
rom the Financial Chronicle.l

u iOih tiiO Nt'"'''N'N'l
The condition of the iron
market at the present time is,
in many respects, without prec-
edent in the history of the trade.
With every furnace in blast,and
importation as largeas the very
limited surplus Of foreign pro.
duction will permit, we are
threatened with an iron famine.
Since January !, American
pig iron No. 1 has advanced
from $36 to $50 and $50 per
ton, rails from $40 to $85' and
bar from $3.50 and 1882 to
SOB and sos, In imported
iron the rise has been propor-
tionate. English rails have
advanced since the beginning
Of the,year from s5S to $40 and
s73 gold; old rails from $50 to
$52 and s5S, and scrap lion
from SO and S43 to $62 and
and $65. The reason for this
is easily found, Throughout
the world, but more especially
IN this country, there has been,
during the past few years, an
enormous increase Of consump.
ton, and the increase of pro-
duction has not kept pace with
it, chify because the necessity
for new iron was not felt until
the surplus stocks of this and
other markets were exhausted.
Last year the consumption of
iron in the United States was
about 1900, 600 tons, of which
we produced about 2,OOO,O0O
tons and imported the balance,
beginning the current year
with no surplus, which has for.
ced consumers to depend Who'll.
ly upon the immediate. product
Of the furnaces. Of the total
consumption last year, it is es-
timated that one-half was used
in railroad construction and
equipment. This year a large
ly increased consumptive de-
mand is anticipated. We have
now some 10000 mile of rail
road in operation, to keep
which in repair will require, in
addition to old rails re-rolled,
about three tons to the mile,
or say 10000 tons. Last year
we built about 7.00C miles of
new road. five build as much
this year we we shall require
of new rails about eighty tons
to the mile, or $4,000 TONS
To this may be added for bolts,
spikes, joints, switches and the
like, say ten tons to the mile,
or 10000 tons. The capacity
Of the furnaces now in opera.
ton is 100000 tons to which
may be added 1906 tons as
the probable product of new
furnaces now building. In the
present condition of the Euro.
pean markets it is doubtful
whether we will be able to i'm.
port as much this year as last
but suppose We import the
same quantity, or six hundred
thousand tons, our total supply
