THERON TRADE.

IAN interesting review of the iron
trade has just been Published. The
census returns show there were q
046, 6,I23.,tons ofpig iron made in the
United States during 1870, and g.
210,9IS tons of iron ore mined. OF
these products Pennsylvania farni-
shed more than one-third. Michi-
gan, which is credited with $50, 900
tons of ore, shipped last year $780,
1893 tons. and mined nearly 1000,
900. tits estimated that the guam
tity of ore raised in Missouri has in
creased to 100000 tons, and that
New York added so per cent. to the
470,403 tons. reported for 1870
Many iron smelters, particularly
those of Western Penn
sylvania, are now suffering from a
scarcity Of ores, the demand having
proved greater than the mines were
able to meet. There is however,
good reason to expect that the coun-
try will soon be so far developed as
to furnish our iron furnaces with all
the iron ores they can consume.

DEVELOPMENTS OF COAL AND IRON.

The development of the coal and
iron interests of the country is in
its infancy. No coal was used in
the United States for steam purpo-
ses forty years ago, wood being the
only fuel used for generating steam
for manufacturing and other pur-
poses. But from the small begin
ming of three hundred and sixty
five tons, produced in 1920, the pro
duction has grown to nearly twenty
million tons annually, valued at not
less than $780, ,OOO,O 1t is already
ascertained that the production of
coal, this year, will exceed that of
any former year, the home produc-
ton having been stimulated by the
high price of foreign Goals. The
production Of iron depends upon
the facilities created for transport
ing it. ' Wherever these conditions
exist the production of crude iron
will become a profitable business, as
it already is in Pennsylvania and
Missouri. The uses of iron have
become so varied and extensive that
the article now ranks among the
necessities of life, and no doubt the
day is not far distant when the pro
duction of that article may have
more business attractions than the
production of almost any other com
modify. ,

RAILROAD Bull DING IN 1872.

The extension of railroads DUR

been expected. Only 1913 miles
Of new roads were built, against T.

have now total lenght of 70, IFS.
miles, with A, 900 more in progress
making. the entire length, when all
the roads are completed, 113,17s
miles, Illinois has greater length
road( ,901) miles than any other
state, New York, the second on the
list, haHingjust 1000 less. Rhode

the states alone there is one mile of
road to every 1856 square miles of

The progress of railroad building
has been very rapid since 1s4s
although it fell off greatly during during
the war, and only about one thou
sandtmiles per annum were added at
that period. Since then, however,it
has advanced with astonishing
swiftness. We have now a mileage
more than four times as large as
that, of Great Britain, and more
than five times ,as large as that of
France or Germany. With the
growth of the system its cost has
also increased, but our roads are
still the cheapest in the world; a
fact not, altogether satisfactory.

COAL FAMINE IN ENGLAND.

The coal famine in England be-
gins to excite attention in Germany
and France, both which latter
countries import aeonsiderabie part
of their coal, and now seek to stim-
ulate more home production. Ger
many, with hard work and at much
cost, gets out about 20,000,000 tons
a year. France does better, but her
gradually increased production is
outrun by an increased ratio in con-
sumption. Thus, it is said, that in
1914 France producee sSl 90 tons of
coal, and consumed 20,912,00O,
France has greater ascertained MIN
eral resources than Germany, but
has not yet handled them with safr
ieient energyitbeing said.for exam
pie, that Germany is now conducting
about one hundred and forty fresh
borings, to only five in France.
There will, ere long apparently, be a
large market in both countries for
American coal. .nror- q "jui lissi

Assessment was at once ordered and

POOR OHIO,

President Grant is not much of a

something that would rank among
Lincoln's best drolleries.. When the
vacancy in the regular army, occas
ioned by General Meade's death was
to be filled, there were several aspi-
rants, with manifold claims. After
hearing a good deal iii behalf of
each, the President said to some
friends that he had concluded to ap-
point Mcdowell. t'' ''
"He's good soldier" said he,

you see, he belongs to Ohio. And
really, poor Ohio ought to have
something" ,. y''4s td- lra .i"'
Those who understand that the
President is native of Ohio, and
that there is an Ohio man in the
Cabinet, and two of them on the

of the Bureaus and sub departments
are under Ohio men, and that no
office ever is vacant that Ohio does
not want to fiji it, will appreciate the

A STRANGE CASE OF FRAUD
A Mother Cheated Out Of Her Child
Who Has Lost Little Boy? .'3'


From the St. Louis Democrat uo-

motheri in England: .s.4... ...f..
.-a LONDON, December 27,J S72.
SIR.I must apologize for tt us
troubling you, but the distressing
circumstances force me to do so.
Three years ago my husband, Rob
ert John Bullen, left England for
America, taking with him our young
est child, then just turning seven
years of age. On the 23d of last
month he returned, bringing with
him little boy, tender, delicate,
loving child, but not ours. He is I
fear, stolen from some institution.
l learn from him something of the
''dormitory No. 1872" think he
had been in very goods hands. He
reads tolerably, and says the Lords
Prayer correctly. Myhusband came
as he went, without telling me of
his intention, and the guardians of
the parish have called it desertion.
l am most anxious to know what
has, become of my own child. My
husband says nothing more than
''that is Walter" when l ask him.
The child he has brought is not
more than eight years of age, light
curly hair, dark eyes, light brown,
but dark lashes. He has many lit
tie moles about him, and some scars
on the fingers, as if from cut, one
on the instep and one on the lower
|hip. I'm sure they will be sorry to
lose him, he is such a lively little
one, but with my husband be will
be taught much that is evil and
moreover he is very cruel and tyran
nicai. They came over in the Erin

HEW CLOSELY.

mood for revolutions IN the cause of
purity and national honor. Even
Congress itself is beginning to, ap-
ply the scalp to its own cancers. 1t
is to be hoped the purpose which
that body apparentlyev1nces of pun
ishing bribery and corruption may
turn out to be something more than
a mere momentary spasm OF indig-
nation and virtue. The Senate, for
instance, should hew squarely to the
line in Its Investigations in the ease
of Caldwell and Others, no matter
into whose faces the chips may fly.
There are also some very grave
charges Of corruption against Sena-
tor-elect Bogy, of Missouri, which
that body, for its own honor, must
fully investigate before .hetis per-
initted to occupy a seat in the SEN
ate Chamber, since the character and
dignity of Congress is brought into
disgrace whenever member, elect
ed by corruption, is suffered to, re

PEN PICTURE OF EUGENE.

A London letter contains the fol-
lowing pen picture of Eugenie as she
was: Unlike the French women
who are short and-dumpy, especially
in middle life-the Empress is queen
ly in form, tall, slim and stately.
Unlike the French women, whose
complexions are dark, sallow, and
even dingy, the Empress's face is as
white as alabaster. Her eye is clear
but piercing; her smile captivating;
her brow gracious. Arrayed in her
regal robes she is simply magnifl
cent. Every thing about her is in
keeping. Her taste is unequalled.
Every thing is in proportion, and
one part is suited to the other. She
knows what will agree with her com
plexion to the exact shade of rib
bon. You 1can suggest no altera-
tion IN her dress. On state occas-
ions when she greets the public eye
she wears everything regal and state
ly that becomes her station. On or
dinary occasions her dress is very
simple, yet very taking. Her hat
seems to be the central point of her
dress. If it is brown or blue, green
or crimson, her gloves, scarf, orna-
ments and apparel correspond. Her
spirits are eXhuberant, her disposi-
tion joyous, and she seems dispos-
ed to enjoy her position. On her
last visit to England she was the
guest of the Queen. A review was
held in st. James park in her honor
which she beheld from the balcony
of Buckingham Palace, in company
with Victoria and Napoleon. She
was joyous as school girl. She
clasped her hands and shouted in her
French style like a little girl at the
grand display. Her bouYancy and
gleetulness of manner, not to say
frivolity, shocked the digniled and
noble Queen of England; and more
than once Victoria laid her hand on
the shoulder of her fair visitor and
reminded her that while such out
bursts of feeling were perfectly nat
ural, they were not regal.
