LADDER, With hatchet IN hand, threatening
to cut down any man who tried to get into
the boat before the women. Meanwhile
the humping and scraping Of the stern
post and rudder continued, arousing fears
that the ship would break in two. The
steerage passengers, however, remained re-
markably quiet. No attempt to rush was
made. Some of the women displayed
great presence of mind and heroism, sitting
still till called upon to dsembark. When
all were on shore, the Germans and Firms
gathered in one group, and the Irish emf
grants in another; All the neighboring
barns and outhouses were soon occupied.
The adjoining fenses were soon stripped of
rails and fret were built. Biscuit were
distributed and coffee served. All were
happy under sense of the great danger
eSaped. The cabin ladies were received
into the house of Mrs. Harding end Mrs.
Lewis, who with their daughters cared for
them like ministering angels. Soon many
of the poor emigrants we're fast asleep,
lying about in the barns, on the beach and
under the banks or big rocks. Col. Par
nell of the United States cavalry, from
Camp Harvey, Oregon, was very promi.
nent in affording assistance to the latter,
and conducting them to places Of shelter
The ship doctor was also very efficient in
erecting tents, distributing cordlals, etc
The cabin passengers raised a subscription
of 5000 for the heroes Swanburg and
Ferguson and more will probably be forth
coming. Stores, blankets, beef, biscuits
ets., were landed all day, Saturday and
Monday, from the ship. Provisions were
furnished in abundance for all, and the
people on the shore did all they possibly
could for the relief of the rescued passen

The iron ore beds in Emore were opened
about fifty years ago. In 1925, Joshna
Sawyer. Esq, OF Hyde Park, Hiram
Town, and a Mr.. Person, who was a
merchant at Morristown Corners; started a
furnace at Cady's Falls for the manufacture
of iron from this ore. They worked it
awhile with varying success till their re-
sources had become somewhat depleted
then company Was formed by persons
living in the county, and just as the COM
pany were about to commence work great
food said to be the greatest known in the
history of the Lamoiile River,-swep,
away the entire work, since which time
the ore has never been worked. The quail
ity of this ore, it is claimed, surpasses that
of any mine known in the world Various
tools and implements, now in existence
prove that it is OF very superior quality
1t was so pure that piece of ore was work
ed, by an ingenious Irish black smith, at hi
forge, into ctiSeL of the best quality
which was for many years in the possession
Of Hiram Town. This may appear incred
Bile but Mr.. Town who gave US the intor
nation, aud whose word was never doubted
was present and saw it done. Mr.. Towr
has now in his possession small chair
made from the iron manufactured at the
furnace, that has stood strain of t,1enty
sic pairs of oxen at drawing bee," and
has never been broken, though it has been
"stretched" bouta foot. These implement
and many others that have been used by
some now living prove that this ore il
capable of being wrought into the best o
iron and steel. That such a mine should
not longer remain undeveloped is obvious
and steps are being taken for a thorough
investigation of its capacity and value
Messrs. Fairbanks, we understand, intend
to manufacture their iron from this ore, if
the investigations warrant them in so doing
If SO, they will make a saving Of many
thousand dollars 8 year to themselves, an,
furnish much paying business to the rail
road-Er.

BARON REUTER- AND HIS News AGENCY.
"A London letter to the New York Times
contains this ac .onut of the man who has
taken the contract to civilize Persia:
suppose Baron Reuter- himself is as well
known in America as in England. Not
many years ago he managed pigeon ex-
presses at Cologne in behalf of the mer-
chants of the unsavory city. The electric
telegraph rather knocked his pigeons on
the head, but he was a man of progress
and abreast of the age, and he saw at a
glance that he had better 60 in for the
lightning and drop the birds. He was
among the first to appreciate on this side
of the Atlantic the indispensable services of
the telegraph to the people, and he was
also shrewd enough to see what might be
made OF the reluctance of English newspa
pers to spend money on Independent enter
prise. He therefore set on foot a private
organization of his own, akin to the ar
rangement of our associated press. The
newspapers which joined this system had
no control whatever over the manner in
which it was worked, no means of authen.
ticating the news transmitted to them, OF
even the source whence it came, and they
were bound by contract to advertise it as
Reuters own. Foreign governments were
not slow to appreciate the advantages of
being on good terms with Reuter- and his
agents, and many Of the communications
which were innocently circulated by the
whole press of England as faithful general
news, emanated from imperial cabinets,
aud were either stories to try the mind or
cooked intelligence intended to prevent the
real truth being known. More than once
the London newspapers made an effort to
escape from the system they had volunta
rily imposed on themselves, but they were
not sufficiently united. Reuters kilograms
therefore prevail to this hour, and the
great bulk Of the most important intelli.
gence which reaches the people of this
country comes through the hands of a
private speculator, who can thus publish
almost anything he likes any morning in
hundreds and thousands of newspapers. A
year or two since, Baron (then Mr. Reu-
ter sold his establishment to company,
but he still remains at the helm and
directs affairs. 1t will be easily under
stood that, as far as England is concerned,
Baron Reuter- is a very great man. He
can make the press-doll speak to any tune
he likes, and he has only to pull the strings
to make the arms move and the legs jerk.
He is the Punch and Judy man inside the
curtains of the show. Whether it is
worth while for the Shah to buy the use Of
the puppet remains to be seen.

Sir John Lubbock, in recent paper in
Nature London, describes the birth of a
May-Ay from full-grown larva, which,

satisfaction of seeing the thorax open along

how rapidly it takes place. From the

seconds are over before the insect has flown

The Mother.

Here is bit of charming feminine gracefulness
In sentiment too delicate for masculine pen
Motherhood in its charge of Infancy:
Women know
The way to rear up children, Ito be jnst,)
They know simple merry, tender knack
Of tying sashes, fitting baby-shoes,
And singing pretty words that make no sense,
And kissing full sense Into empty words;
Which things are corals to cut life upon,
Although such tribes children learn by such,
Loves holy earnest in pretty play,
And yet one over-early soemnised,-
But seeing as in ross-bush, Loves Divine,
Which burns and hurts not,-not a single bloom =
Become aware and unafraid of Love.
Such good do mothers. Fathers love as well
Mine did, know-but still with heavier brains,
And wills more conciously responsible.
And not as wisely, since less foolshly;
SO mothers have Gods license to be missed.

We have thought that the funniest OF
all "strikes" was that Of the household
servants who wanted more wages "because
Goals and provisions is high" But this is
made of no account by the strike Of the
beggars of Treves, who have been in the
habit of getting dole for praying on a
fixed day for the prosperity Of the town
As prices rose in the market 50 rose the
price of these prayers, the pious beggars re-
