"Take this pen," said the king, "and
sign your name here"
Kraus took the implement as desired,
and wrote his name in full on the
parchment.
"Is that all ?" he said.
"No," said the fend. &. "Come here"
Kraus obeyed.
"Put your hand on mine. Shut your
eyes,"
Kraus closed them.
"Now open them"
The farmer was astonished. He was
standing on the summit of the Devils
Peak, with the little man by his side.
"Where's the gold ?" said Kraus.
"There," replied the little man, as
he kicked several bags filed with the
precious metal, "and as many more as
you like when you want them"
Kraus shouldered bag.
"Hold," said the fend, "you haven't
finished your nights work yet"
The farmer let the bag slide to the
ground and examined the pr;ming OF
his rifle.
"When will he Gomez" he asked,

"Fire |" said the fend."
A blaze of light flashed from the
deadly rifle, and Montgomery toppled
back over the ravine.
With cry of agony Kraus sprang to
his feet. It was daylight. He was all
alone in his log hut on the Orange
Mountain. No little man, no Mont
gomery, no demons. -

the farmer. "Heayens what terri

it be possible that I have fancied all

Kraus looked around. There was
the expiring fire, Pickering niournfully
on the hearth, his rifle in its usual
place in the corner, and his fewling-
piece hanging over the chimney. Then
came succession of furious knocks at
the door. Kraus grasped his rifle.

he.
He opened the door, nevertheless,
and there before him, hale and hearty,
stood Robert Montgomery.
"Why neighbor, what on earth is the
matter with you? I've been knocking
away OF your old door for the last half
hour, and the deuce an answer could I
get"
Kraus grasped the young man by the
hand.
"Come in, Robert" he said, come

And then he poured into his listeners

"And you shall have Clara, said the
young farmer.
And so it was. Four months after

WHO WILL BE CHIEF JUSTICES

The death of Chief Justice Chase vests
in President Grant most important ap-
pointment-on it is the privilege of but
few Presidents to appoint. Chief Justice
fancy, the predecessor of Judge Chase,
was appointed by President Jackson.
Judge Chase was appointed by President
Lincoln. President Grants appointee
may live through half dozen presiden-
tial terms.
Until Judge Chase's successor is ap-
pointed there will be much speculation as
to Whole will be. 1t has been suspected for
some time that Senator Roscoe Conkling
of New York, would like to fill the seat
once occupied by Chief Justice Marshall.
Should this be his aspiration, we doubt
not his chances would be good. He is an
able lawyer, patient. laborious, thorough
and discriminating. The President has
always shown great confidence and respect
for Mr.. Conkling, and it is generally be-
lieved would feel DESTROYS of bestowing
upon him such an honor. 1t has not been
customary to make such an appointment
from the Associate Justices of the Court.
If the President should promote one of the
Bench, it would.probably be Justice Miller.

BILE rival. Her laurels are endangered more
in an easterly and southerly direction.
The banks of the Hudson and Delaware
will in ten years, he predicts, be lined with
furnaces, and the immense mineral wealth
of Virginia and North Carolina will be
drawn from its hiding places by the enter
prise of capitalists seeking the best invest
ment for their funds. ESQ
In speaking of our section, he says I" No.
1 mill iron is being manufactured at Chat
tanooga, at from $l4 to SIS per ton, which,
] it is claimed, would cost from $2S to $50
per ton at Pittsburgh. A furnace is being
built at Oakdale, East Tennessee, in the
vicinity of which are inexhaustible sup
plies of ore, coal and limestone and the
ore will be put in the furnace at cost of
81 per ton, and the coal at cost of 81 So.
The quality of Tennessee iron is well
known-there is no better iron made in
the country. New furnaces are being
erected in different parts of Tennessee,
Alabama and Georgia, where iron can be
made cheap, and rolling mills are bound
to follow, for capital andskilled labor will
find their way to places where they are
the most remunerative.'
When one reads this, he no longer
feels that the tales about the in
eqhaustlbIe mineral supplies, and the
immense natural resources of East
Tennessee is a mere Pigment of the imagi-
nation, and that our promises are merely
snares to catch the credulons and unwary.
The pith of the whole subject is contained
in the closing sentence of the firstextract.
1t might be formulated thus: The price
of manufactured iron must increase as the
square of the distance between the ore and
and fuel, and inversely must decrease as
that distance is diminished" And where
on the American Continent can the latter
condition be found as favorable as in East
Tennessee? The iron beds and coal seams
are found here almost in juxtaposition and
accessible in degree unsurpassed in the
known world. a. E EN
With those natural advantages and with
increasing facilities for transportation, our
future as an iron manufacturing. country
is beyond peradyenture, and he who fails
to see it is either blinded by prejudice or is
unable to perceive the natural course of
events or trace the connection between
cause and effect.

THE Memphis Avalanche is exercised
over the probable candidacy of Judge
Houk- for Gubernatorial honors. He Is
alluded to as the candidate Of the " fund.-
ers.n Judge Houk is not candidate 1or
Governor, as we have reason to believe.
But no matter who is nominated by Re
publicans, whether Judge Houk or some
one else, he will not be the candidate Of Ell
Their the "funders'' or anti-funders."
The most noise now being made on that
question is by men who would like to lead
a third party movement. To suppose that
the Republicans will make this an issue in
the next canvass, is to suppose that party
as dead as the Democracy. Republicans
may not all agree on that question per-
haps, but they do agree that the credit of
the State must be rigidly maintained.
They agree on this main principle, but
they can afford to disagree on the details
by which it is to be accomplished. So un-
der all the circumstances, we rather enjoy
the noise being made, and do not wish ST.
lence. We would not enforce it if we

SEVENTY thousand barrels of whisky
were consumed in New Orleans last year
one-third of a barrel to every mau, woman
and child. No wonder they have riots ana
bloodshed in the city.
In 1869 they distilled one thousand bar
rels; last year they distilled sixty-1ve
thousand barrels. This poison and the
State lottery do more to destroy the energy
and business spirit of the people than
could all the carpet-baggers of the South
concentrated in one State. The lottery
draws daily $4,000 to $4,000, or perhaps
$4,000, into its capacious NAV and returns
nothing. And great outcry is raised be-
cause the Attorney General is trying 70
suppress it.

IRON MEN LOOKING SOUTH.

The following extract taken from a
leader in recent issue of the Iron World
and Manufacturer, the leading journal
on iron manufacture in America, is full of
significance
pittsburgh has hitherto worn the iron
crown, but how long it will maintain SUI
premacy remains to be seen. That there
is danger of Pittsburgh losing its supre-
macy as an iron manufacturing city, we do
not deny but the danger does not lie in
the direction of st. Louis, as portion of
the press of that city would have the world
believe. The idea of st. Louis ever con-
testing the palm with Pittsburgh for thesu
premacy in iron manufacturing can notbe
entertained for single moment; for
when we take into consideration the price
of fuel at the two points, and that it takes
fully five tons of coal to produce one ton of
merchant iron from the ore, the question
loses all its vitality"
Pittsburgh, the chief iron manufacturing
city on this continent, obtains the principal
portion of her ore from the Iron Mountains
of Missouri her coal she finds near at
hand. Yet, in spite of this great disad
vantage. she has established world
wide character as an iron manufac-
turing city and amassed immense
fortunes for her enterprising citizens. But
recently cloud has passed over the sweet
spirit of her dreams. From want of con-
cert of action between the minor and man.
ufacturer the former has materially ad-
vanced the price of the raw material and
thus "St. Louis will get from Pittsburgh
this year clean million of dollars for
nothing, unless experience has a cash
value.)" The ore monopolists of Missouri
entertain the delusive hope that in time
they will be able to build up manufactures
that shall outstrip those of Pittsburgh and
number her glories among the things of
the past. At this idea the ferruginous resi-
dents of the smoky city rebel and the state
of their feelings is very well set forth in
the editorial of the Iron World before u.s.
1t is not, says the World, to st. Louis
that Pittsburgh has to look for formida-
