AMERICAN IRON.-lt is quite impossible,
at this time, to make any reliable estimate
of the injury inflicted on various interests
by the recent financial storm at the East.
The sudden check put upon the sale of rail.
road bonds by the oranges and the specula-
tive operations of Wall Street brokers
must seriously retard our progress in sew
eral important directions. Roads, whose
credit has been impaired by the panic, have
Cancelled large orders for locomotives and
rails, and in one factory alone over thou
sand hands have been discharged from EN-
ployment which furnished them with wages
to the extent of SlO,5OO per week. The
Secretary of the National Pig Iron Asso-
citation stated that we were building railroads
at the rate of 1000 miles per year, involv-
ing $50 tons of iron for each mile, or .O5O.-
600 tons for annual construction account.
Besides this, there are 10000 miles of rail.
way in operation which require not less than
10 per cent, or another 1,O5O 900 tons
every year to keep them in repair. Here,
then, says the Engineering and MINING
Journal, are 100000 tons of bar iron for
railroads alone, and it is plain that if
American furnaces had furnished all the

pig would have been left for other purposes.
But we imported 1,25O,OOO tons and used
up 400. 900 tons of scrap. 1t has been esti-
mated by well-informed parties that the con-
struction of railroads will be decreased from.
1000 miles year to less than 1000, for
some years to come, and this large decline
in the demand for iron in the shape of rails,
locomotives, and other matters connected
with railway enterprises, cannot fail to have
a depressing eject on the business of min
ing and making iron, both in this country
and England. We were just upon the eve
of congratulating ourselves with the pros
Pect of not only becoming Independent of
England. bat likewise of supplanting her
sales of iron in several important markets
This hope will, however, now have to be
abandoned for long time to come. The
iron mining companies organized and or
ganizng on the Pacific Coast will undoubt-
edly be staggered by the blow given to their
enterprise in the greatly lessened demand
for iron.-Commercia Herald.

Ts My Wife.

All say'st thou, love, that have changed,
And that my moods are sad or worse;
My darling thinks l am estranged,
And even calls my ways perverse.
All, no, thy fancy wild hath ranged,
And in its travel found a curse.
When first 1 loved thee, all absorbed
l knew no life untitled by thee;
In thee my being was full-orbed,
And bound, as strong shore binds the sea
My thought, my feeling, all absorbed,
My heart, my soul, were only thee.
Dear love, we were sweet spendthrifts then
OF hours that ne'er will greet us more:
Oh, blame not me as cold, if when
In daily battles deafening roar
With all my struggling fellOw-men
L do not live them oer and DER.
show my love now in my work,
Which, all for thee, is what you see
Lays on my brow its shadow murk,
And leaves me scarce a moment free;
Yet in each fibre strained will lurk
The pulses that still beat for thee.
So patient bear my absent look
Nor quarrel with my silence deep,
Nor jealous fight my student book,
Nor blame me if drop to sleep;
"Tis not neglect that thou must brook,
But that now must harvest reap.
l thrust my sickle in the grain
Where years ago sowed and plowed;
My granaries harvest shall contain,
And then I'll leave the rushing crowd
Before dull care OF daily strain
Hath all my strength and courage cowed.
Bear with me, love, and meanwhile be
Content to lift thy womans load;
The faces gathered at thy knee
Will che ar thee on thy lonely road,
And by-snd-by we both shall see
That our two lives together flowed.

A DENTISTS REvENGE-A curious story
Of dentists revenge comes from PARIS.
NJ. Sandre, while returning from visit to
patient, heard sounds of distress, and has
tened to the succor of person who was Iy-
ing on the side ofthe road This individual
sprang up suddenly and rushed on NJ. Sandre,
who knocked him down with his forceps and
tied his hands. The malefactor soon recov-
cred, and asked to be released. The dentist
told him that he could only escape on con-
dition that he should sacrifice tooth. At
ter some discussion it was agreed that the
tooth should be delivered to the forceps, and
the dentist, having seated his victim on a
stone, extracted an enormous molar by the
light of the moon.

A poor Turkish slater of Constantinople,

his footing and fell into the narrow street
upon man. The pedestrian was killed by

ceased caused the slater to be arrested. The
cadi listened attentively, and in the end
asked the slater what he had to say in his
defense. Dispenser of justice" answered
the accused, it is even as this man says !;
but God forbid that there should be evil in
my heart. am poor man and know not
how to make amends" The son of the man
who had been killed thereupon demanded
that coDdign punishment should be inflicted
upon the accused. The cadi meditated a
few moments, and finally said 1t shall be

shalt stand in the street where the father of

A BoY-HERo.-A boy-hero has been de-
veloped in Macy Brezna, an obscure Hunga-
rian village, lately visited by the plague.
Among the victims was poor peasant wo-
man, who left behind son, aged fifteen, but
no property. In consequence Of this latter
circumstance the parish priest and the rest
of the villagers were in no haste to make
arrangements for her interment, and in spite
of the prayers and tears of the poor lad, the
body remained in the hut. Two days later
peasant woman of property also died, and
grave was Immediately dug, to be ready
for the funeral next day. When, however,
the body was carried to the grave yard, it
was found that her grave was already filled
in. The superstitious villagers fell on their
knees and crossed themselves, but the
priest guessing how the matter stood, sent
two of the peasants to the hut of his poor
parishioner, to see whether the corpse was
there. They returned, having foand that
the body had been removed, and bringing
the boy with them. On being asked where
the body Of his mother now was, he pointed
sobbing to the newly-made grave. saying
that by exerting all his strength he had
dragged the corpse to the graveyard placed
it in the grave and shoveled in the earth

The Falls Of the ZambeSf .

n&hG Eclls of the Zambesi, or Victoria
Falls, as Livingstone calls them, have been
formed by a crack or fissure in the hard,
black, basatic rock at right angles across
the bed of the river. The old bed below
the falls is still plainly indicated, and green
with grass and trees. The chasm which
extends along the entire front of the falls,
and into which the water leaps, is about two
hundred and fifty feet in width at its mar
rowest point, and three hundred and sixty
feet in depth, to the surface of the boiling
and foaming water. The falls, during the
dry season, are nearly mile in extent, their
line broken here and there by rocks and ISL
ands. In the wet season, their length is in
creased half mile or more, and then the
volume OF water which pours over the falls
is immense.
The water on the west side of the falls,
as it descends into the chasm, is collected IN
narrow channel twenty or thirty yards
wide, and flows toward the east at a right
angle with the course Of the stream above
the falls. That on the east side flows
through similar narrow channel toward
the west. These two streams meet and
unite in fearful boiling whirlpool, before
they find an outlet through assure of the
rock at right angles with that of the fall, at
about eleven hundred and seventy yards
from the western end of the chasm, and six
hundred from the eastern end. The Fam
besi, which spreads to such breadth above
the falls, is now compressed in a channel not
more than twenty or thirty yards in width,
and OF no doubt almost inconceivable depth.
The surface of the country is of the same
level below the fall as above it, and the riv-
er continues on its course through deep
canon, continually taking abrupt turns in it's
way-in fact forming a series of connected
and perfectly defined letter SIS. This can
on is not worn or cut by the action of the
water. 1t is split or crack in the rock.
Its walls go sheer down, without any pro-
jecting crag or symptom of stratifcation or
dislocation."
The immense steam-columns which con-
tinually ascend above the falls become con-
densed at an immense height, and descend
in perpetual shower of fine rain, which
beating against the face of the perpendicular
rock, runs down in tiny streams, only to be
swept back again by the upward-rushing va
por before they have reached the bottom
This rain gives life and verdancy to the

PANDoRA,s BOX.

The national debt is increasing;
our national securities are declining
in price abroad, and confidence in
our financial system is on the wane.
Our railroad bonds do not find a
ready market in Europe. The bal
ance of trade runs against us. One
hundred thousand Americans are
going abroad to spend q hundred
millions at Vienna. Our imports
largely exceed our exports; gold has
advanced to 11S. Extravaganza runs
riot in the land, and we are impover-
ishing our country in the purchase OF
Injuries and gewgaws. We are liv-
ing extravagantly and beyond our
means. Monopolies are sapping the
foundations of our prosperity, and
political PROFICIENCY is undermining
the foundations of our Government.
Our statesman are becoming corrupt,
our ofice-holders venal and our Leg
islatures are easily bribed. Murder
runs riot through the land. Our
people are becoming demoralized;
our women are, some of them, not
as good as they ought to be; our
preachers, some of them, are not as
deyout as in the olden time. Our
children are fast and riotous. We
have departed from the simplicity,
economy and honesty of other days.
The only remedy we can suggest is the
Delnge. We respectfully submit
that, as it proved success once, it
is worth a second experiment. IS. 2
