The Kiowa chiefs, Satanic and Big
Tree, who were captured near Fort Sill,
two years ago. Immediately after a muir
derous raid into Texas, and confined in
a peniteDtiary, have returned to Fort Sill,
with view to their release if an advan-
tageous treaty can be made with their tribe.
A correspondent describes the meeting Of
the chiefs with their families as very affect
ing. satanta's father and mother, both
over seyonty-6ve years old, and his wife
and children, were present, all laughing or
crying aud chatting together. Satanic gave
most of his attention to his Oldest son, a
boy of sixteen, whom he embraced passion
ately. The proposition to release these
two chiefs, both of whom have killed aud
scalpcd, and put to the torture scores of
white men, women and children, is regarded
by old Indian fighters with dsfavor. They
say an Indian cannot comprehend such
maguanimity, and will be sure to ascribe it
to fear.

Much comment has been made in the
press recently upon the alarm expressed il
England at the falling off in the iron trade
Of that country. An exchange gives figure.
to show that the falling off in the export
of iron from England during the first seven
months of the year 1878, was about twenty
per cent. Thus up to July 81, 1872, the
export of rail to all countries was 533 COS
while for the same period this year it wa.
only 425, $50, a decrease of l07,0 55 tons
This was the result of an increase to some
countries deducted from heavier decrease
to others Thus the United States took
i65, 1923 tons less, while British America
Brazil, Peru and Egypt also fell oif-Peru
the most, Russia, Sweden, aud Germany
on the other hand, took notably larger
quantities. Pig-irou exported to the Uni

The New York Commercial and FL
nancial Chronicle, confirms, as an uuim-
peachabe authority, previous reports of the
excellence of this years cotton crop The
total crop for the year, ending August 81
is estimated at $685. sos bales, which is a
gain of 956,l57 bales over last years
yield. This years crop in all the cotton
producing states, save Florida, is in excess
of any previous crop since the war. One
of the most interesting facts connected with
the cotton crop exhibit for this year, is the
amount Of the staple consumed by the
southern cotton mills. Out Of the total Of
1901 ,l27 taken by the cotton spiuners in
the United States in the year ending Sep.
TENDER ! 1878, 1862 bales were taken
by the Southern States. Ia 1870, the
total cotton manufactured by mills in the
cotton producing States, was 36,54779j
pounds, and during the last year GO ,572,.
800 pounds. The rapidity with which the
new industry is growing in the South may
be estimated from these figures.
