From the Pittsburgh Commercial Of Yesterday.
The Western Bar Iron Association met
on Tuesday afternoon, at their rooms in
this city, and agreed to reduce the price
ofiron hve.tenths cent, making the pres
ent card rates three and three tenths cents
per pound. Under the existing arrange
ment, as regards wages, this will cause a
reduction Of from seven and half 10
twelve and half per cent, in the pay oil
all skilled workmen In iron. A reduction
was also made OF ten per cent on the
wages Of unclassified labor, such as eDgi-
neers, firemen, roll hands, lsborers, &c.
Laborers who have been receiving more
than 81 80 per day will now receive nine
dollars per week. The employees who
have been working under what is termed
the sliding scale" will be obliged TO sub
init TO similar reduction.
A general interchange Of opinion was
held at the meeting. Some manufactur.

A REMARKABLE REPLY TO THE POPE

and the Emperor of Germany Is officially
published. The Pope writes August 2,
that the measures Of bis Msjesty's Gov

licism He Is unable 10 discover a reason
for such severity. Being informed and
believing that the Emperor Is averse to
the increase or continuance Of this harsh

undermine the throne. He speaks frankly

10 the Emperor and himself.

An Elementary Chapter on the Bus
Iness OF Converting Ores Into Iron
and Converting Pig Iron into
Wrought Iron.
tFrom the journal OF Applied Chemistry
Iron Is one Of the most abundant Of all
metals, but the diflcultyci reducing the
ore for centuries prevented It's coming
into general use. Unlike copper and the
precious metals, It is not found In me-
talic state in nature except in meteoric
masses which have fallen from the at
mosphere' The ores Of iron are mostly
oxides, mixed with more or less silica
and other impurities. They are readily
distinguished by the streak, or mark made
by rubbing on o piece OF rough white
porcelain. Magnetic or black oxide Is q
very rich ore, containing 70 per cent o.
iron. It's color Is black and its stfeak
black. Il is attracted by the magnet like
iron Itself. 1t Is plentiful In Orange and
Putnam counties, N. Y. Hematite ore Is
also an oxide containing nearly as much
ore as the magnetic oxide. It's streak Is
blood red, although its color is black 1t Is
seldom magnetic. 1t Is found in large
quantities OF Pilot Knob and Iron Noun
tain, Missouri. Limonite Is hydrated
oxide Of iron, which Is also called bog ore
yellow ochre, brown ochre, and brown
hematite, It has q brown color and
makes a yellowth brown streak. Frank
Unite 10 an iron containing 10 or 17per
cent each OF manganese and zinc. Its
color Is black; streak. dark redish brown.
Il Is found at Franklin, N. j., In large
quantities. Being associated with other
zinc ores, 1t has an association of red and
black colofs. Iron pyrites lisa compound
| OF sulphur and iron, found at 81 Antho-
ny's Nose on the Hudson river, and used
for making oil OF vitroil. It's color Is
brass yellow; streak, greenish or brownlsh
black. Clay iron stone, or Spatlc iron, Is
carbonate of IRON, which ID found at
New Milford, Conn.,, and at Stirling, Mass.
II Is white or greyish, with Q pearly or

ONE BY ONE.

They are gathering homeward from every
land
One by ono,
As their weiry feet touch the shining
strand,
ono by ono;
Their brOws are enclosed in golden crown,
Their trayel-stained garments are laid down
And clothed with white raiment, they rest
on the mead,
Where the Lamb Ioyeth His chosen TO lead,
One by one.
Before they rest they pass through The strife
One by one;
Through the waters OF death they enter
life,
one 10y one;
To some are the floods OF the river still,
As they ford their way to the heavenly hill.
To others the waves run tierccly and wild,
Yet all reach the home of the uudrtiled,
One by one.
We too shall come to the rivers side,
one by one;
We arc nearer the waters, each even tide,
One by one;
We can hear the noise and and dash Of the
stream,
Now and again, through our hfe's deep
dream
Sometimes the floods DER the banks Ger
flow,
Sometimes in rippIes the small 80,
One by one.
Jesus! Redecmer. we Look TO Thee.
One by one;
We lift up our voices trcmbliDgly,
One by one;
The waves of the nver are dark and cold,
We know not the spots where our feet may
hold;
Thou, who didst pass through in deep mid
night,
Strengthen US, send the staff and the light,
One by one.
Plant thou Thy feet beside us as We tread
One by one:
On Thee let Us lean each dropping head,
One by one;
Let but Thy mighty arm round us be
twined,
Wen cast all our fears aud cares to the
wind;
Saviour! RedecmeI with Thee fun in view,
SmiIingly, gladsomely, we shall Prss thro'

Coon Hunting.

The historian of this affair locates
it in Sugar Hollow. The heroes are
two young cOlored men who have
been on fOray for cOons, and,
having expended their powder and
ardOr without success, are on their
return home in a verY sick and de-
pressed mOod. During the transit
through the Hollow, one of them
detected a coon perched on the limb
of n wayside tree. This was
very fortunate occurrence, but as
the party was without ammunition,
it seemed as they would have to
take out the chance in observation
and a few desultOry remarks. But
one of them offered to go up the tree
and shake the coon out, while the
other remained on the ground in
charge of the dog. He accordingly
ascended. When he reached the limb,
/ the coon had gone out to its further
end, and there awaited the attack.
He moved out on the limb as far as
he dared, and proceed to shake it
/ While thus engaged there was a
sudden snap between him and the
I trunk, and he just had time TO note
this and hug to the limb when he
went down, and after being raped
against the tree, swung out again
and remained suspended, with the
coon below him. Looking down 10
sec where the coon was, he was
somewhat startled to find that ex-
cellent animal making a movement
upwards.
With hands engaged in keeping
himself from being dashed to pieces,
he was no sort of foe for the coon.
! Thus situated, he cried to his COM
paniOn for help, but that gentleman
was pOwerless, and being himself in
a position of safety, very naturally
suggested to the man up the tree
that he pray. "PFay ?" said the
victim. whom the proposition ap-
parently appeared more surprising
Il than comforting. "Of course" said
the man on the ground, becoming
more confident in the artifice as he
more fully realized in his own safety
"What shall pray ?" cried the vic
tim. Anything" said the other
'.NoW lay me down to sleep" he
suggested: and a very remarkable
} appropriate suggestion 1t was, too
to man who was glued to q hanging
: limb twenty feet from the earth
, and expected every instant to LOSE
, the calf of his leg. So he screamed
= out, "Now lay me down" theI
| there was another snap, and he haC
, Just time to add, Look out for tha
; id dog, Phineas," when he an(
; the limb and coon decended, an(
t he went bounding off the bank ant
into the road. The dog escaped, w
are glad to say. But the coon was sc
= cured. And at its discussion as pot
