THE ENGLISH IRON TRADE.-The
London Times has an editorial on the
iron question, the burden of which is,
that one of the finest markets England
ever possessed (the trade in iron) is be-
ing gradually closed to her. Her dis
asters in this direction are not yet end
ed. The United States are competing
successfully for the control of the iron
traffic with Canada, South America,
and the West Indies. They have con-
tested under immense natural disad-
vantages, but they have beaten Eng
land in spite of these. She cannot af-
ford to idle and sleep away her time
and waste her money while competing
with thrifty, active, and intelligent ma
tions The Times thinks much of the
blame for the state of things it describes
should fall upon strikers and trades
unions.
The weekly Shasta courier., 1873-11-15

The Spectator remarks that s'the ac-
counts of the coronation of the King of
Norway at Drontheim are extremely
picturesque, but for politicians their
chief interest lies in this-they show
that a royal family can be manufactured
The family of Bernadotte has in many
ways difficult part to play, having to
govern two countries very different in
institutions, ways, and temper; having
to keep on terms with two gigantic and
not very friendly nations; having to be
most friendly to third little power,
which is half-inclined to embrace and
half inclined to defy Sweden; having
to do the work of government, yet not
be despots; and having to give small
people with vast territory a chance of
becoming great. They have done it
all, and done it so well that, while on
the happiest terms with their people,
they stand within the inner circle of
royalties nearly as unnoticed as if they
were descendants of Charlemagne. 1t
is the only case in Europe, but it is suf-
ficient to show that very curious ex-
pertinent, the making from without of a
queen-bee, is by no means either i'm
possible or absurd. But for this ex-
ample, we should be compelled to ad-
nit that the only choice lay between
the republic and well-worn caste, but
the exception is quite perfect"
The weekly Shasta courier., 1873-11-15

TRoUBLE.-In ninety-nine cases out
of hundred, mankind make their own
troubles. 1t is not in the nature of
things that it should be otherwise, and
yet we might be the most happy peo-
pie that the sun shines on, if we pleas
ed. Life would run smoothly in the
grooves if we would only let it, but we
are not content to do so-in fact. con-
tent with nothing. From the cradle to
the tomb we are continually fretting
about something. We are living at al
together too fast and too reckless rate.
We initiate the balloon beyond its ca
.pacity to bear, and then wonder that it
collapses, and we get fall. Content
ment-to let things take their course,
is a condition we have yet to learn.
But how can we expect to be free from
trouble so long as we are seeking for it,
We are much like the son of the En-
erald Isle, who "was never at peace
without he was at war with somebody" ="
We constantly make trouble-get into
hot water, and then grumble. But the
world wags on just the same, and will
unto the end, although we hasten our
end by constant restlessness.
The weekly Shasta courier., 1873-11-15
