Relative Cost Of English and American
Bar Iron.

1t Ia worth placing on record that Amer
lean bar iron ia cheaper in Pennsylvania
than British would be, even free of duty.
This was demonstrated lately by the Iron
mastera' Associations while arguing against
giving higher wages. The relative cost of
each which he had received from Liver
pool firm Of the highest standing in the
iron trade were as follows Merchant
bars at works in Staffordshire, R14 10. !;
freight to Liverpool, los; freight charges,
D. Cd. freight to New York, e1 2s. insur-
ance, 1s Cd; commissions, 9s.; duty, "a
14s. I'd; total Ell les. Sd. Present sell
ing price Of American bars out Of store in
New York, SlO5, or els lis. 3d.; selling
price of American bars at works in Penn
sylvania, $50, or ell los. Sd. Hence the
difference against British iron, even If free
of duty, would be 5s. Sd. per ton, and the
correspondent of British paper justly con-
cludes: $50 long, therefore, AZ the Ameri-
cana can get the iron made in their own
country fifty shillings to sixty shillings
under our quotations, there i'm no proba-
bility of the maintenance of the existing
(British) quotation, much less their ad-
vance" The foregoing facts also show
the price of British iron il restrained by
that Of American, for if this country de-
pended mainly on England for its supply,
the higher wages would no doubt be con-
coded, and we would have to pay the ad-
vsnced prices which would result.

TO his present situation, but it was m vain.
Sometimes he would exert himself TO make
an answer; sometimes he would remain
silent, seeming not conscious OF being with
them.
1--WE must end our inquiries here, saiG
Mr. Yorston "We are already involved
in q mass of intricate and incoInprehenai-
BILE positions which can bring nothing but
disappointment"
Not so, replied Mr.. Leroy, his COM
panion. 81 win ferret the matter out.
If he has sunk into this condition, may he
not, with his superior mind, become again
rational. We must not rest here, out ID
justice to one poor friend; out OF justice
tc our own innate sense OF manhood.
The-s is every reason to believe that We
I44ay ferret out this mystery of our friend. =
From this moment the young assistant .
mental faculties seemed blunted and dull.
He gradually sank into an apathy which SC
alarmed his two friends that he was hourly
watched and waited upon by Mr.. Yorston.
In the midst of all this trouble, Mr.. Le-
roy, armed with the consciousness that he
was about to ferret out the mystery, set
out for Denslow. In the excitement of q
few days past, he had neglected to quietly
mediate on the situation. Now, however,
riding in the railway carriage to Denslow,
he, with that me.hodical precision which
had ever characterized him, laid out his
plans for action, and resolved to remain at
Denslow until he had satisfied himself ON
points, in ignorance Of which, save for a
general presumption, he still remained.
And the first name he heard at Dens-
low, on arriving at the station, was Sid
ney Vivian.

Trials of an Honest Legislator

The Man in the Gallery" writes to the
Albany Times:
gentleman who now occupies q seat i'm
the upper branch, but at the time was a
member of the Assembly, relates the fol-
lowing:
Perkins was as honest q man as ever set
foot in Albany. Money wouldn't buy
him, and knew it, but | thought would
have little fun with him so went down
to his room one evening and said, ".Per-
kins, what do you think of the under
ground railroad bill Are you going to
vote for it 2"
"Well, said Perkins, :" haven't made
up my mind yet, exactly. ] am inclined
to think it is good bill but why do you
ask r.
II thought you were in favor Of it. and
as long as you have concluded to go for it,
Just wanted to say to you that the men
interested in it are paying five hundred dol
lars for votes, and as it is coming up on its
final passage tomorrow you can Just a.
well have the money as not you'll vote
for the bill any way"
"Vote for the bill Ill be hanged first p
cried the irate Perkins. "No, sir If i'm
proper means are being taken to pass this
thing, as you say, for one viii vote against
it every time. You can put me down no.
''Oh, l don't care anything about the bill;
was only trying to do yon favor, and
think ] can yet, for, to tell the truth, the
rival companies are here in full force and
are moving heaven and earth to defeat it.
They are paying the same amount for
noes, and a. long as you are going to
vote shat way, Ill get you five hundred
dollars all the same"
"Can such things be I" exclaimed Per-
kins, raising from his seat and tearing up
and down the room in n whirlwind Of
righteous wrath and virtuous Indignation,
"What state of things this is A plague
on both of your houses. / won't vote at
all"
Gan right, said l, as 1 laid my hand
on the door, '1'll get you FIVE hundred
dollars for being absent"

A Louisiana Salt Mine.

(from the New Orleans RepuhlicAnl
The owners Of the steamboat line from
Brashear to New Iberia, and agents fol
Louisiana rock salt, conceived the idea re-
Gently to brighten their trips up the beauti
full Teche by inaugursting cheap trips fol
those who are endowed with sufficient Gu
riosity to view one of the greatest wonderi
of our new world-nlnety million tons o
pure, solid, compact rock salt, located OIL
an island about 185 feet high, which unac
countably rises from miserable sea marsh
How this island, containing over 800, ,OOC
acres of excellent land, could have come
into existence in such locality, viii al
ways remain matter of useless conjecture
The route is monotonOus, and would bs
quite wearisome were it not that the dis.
tance is only eight or nine miles.
Once on the high land, inquisitive eyes
gaze at the scene nearly beWildered. Veg.
citation is more prolific than in the rich
prairies Just left behind, and the landscape
50 varied that the unusual eye is weary
with the many beauties. Among the trees
may be seen the magnolia, live OAK, cypress
maple, locust, gum, walnut, thorn and
fruit bearing trees. The soil is composed
OF sand, loan, gravel, clay and composites,
and the traveller at one glance can see both
the sugar-bowl and salt-cellar. Sugar-cane
thrives uncommonly we'll, aud several
large fields promise a good yield.
These things were observed as the party
wended their way towards the objective
point. the salt mine Arrived there, down
We went from temperature of ninety-two
to seventy degrees, in covered elevator,
each side, top and bottom of which is com
posed Of solid salt, all as dry as powder.
The absence of moisture is one of the most
striking features of the scene. Iron and
steel implements used by the miners are
quite bright. There are two chambers
made by the salt taken out, and it is in
these that the visitor finds the grand point
of attraction. Here one can partly form q
faint estimate Of the immensity Of the bed.
Forty feet over his head is solid rock salt,
unbroken by a seam. The same is on each
side, and it is impossible to onieeture
what is beneath his feet. The present mine
bottom is foot below the sea level, and a.
yet no effort has been made to ascertain
how far it extends The uniformity in the
quality of salt-nearly pure as it is mined
one Of the great features, is truly won.
derful How it got there, or what pro.
duced it, is something that puzzles scien
ti6c men. But it is fact that more than
ninety million tons Of solid solid salt ars
quietly resting there.

WILLIAM hAPLEFoN,
PRIVATE BANKER.

! For . moment, marvelling at the singli-
I lar occurrence of these two names, and,
doubling not but the correspondents as
sistant was but re-enacting the same, iden-
tical events which had transpired upon
that day when Tom Gray had first met
him, Mr.. Leroy was somewhat bewildered
and, momentarily, lost sight of his mis-
sion. But recovering himself, as a SER
want admitted Mr.. Mspleton, he came to
the door and followed the correspondent s
assistant into the room.
1t was an ordinary basement dining
room transposed into a private business
office. At one end was safe, guarded by
desk and balustrade, behind which sat a
young man writing in a large ledger, and
now and then referring to his employer, a
large, portly man, who sat reading behind
the desk. Both looked up Is the young
man entered, while the latter came for
ward, quietly.
"Mr Mapleton r. he said; he who had
borne the name SO long.
'Ah. Captain Carter" said the private
banker. 1--WE had feared your deposit
would never be called for"
II have come, as you see, said the cor
respondents assistant. Il have come to
claim my own"
The banker opened his safe and took
thence book of general accounts.
1T is sometime since, | believed" he
said.
Yes"
you left the amount for transient secu-
rity, being stranger here, " he added, con
ming the pages before him.
