rbon,II nro8uct for the yesrs ls7l-a-S

The nail product for the years 1s7l-9-S
WAS a. follows. For 1871, 1O5,297 kegs;
Tor 1872, 1896 ksg; for 1873, l70,ss6
kegs, being total for the three years Of
sj3 li9 kegs, or . yearly average Of H.
7oG kegs, which gives an average weekly
product Of 2,263 kegs. The proper NJ
lowsncs Tor strikes and other stoppagea
would bring up this weekly average 70
more than 5000 kegs. Our readers how.
ever must remember that the nine or ten
months from September 1871, when the
mill was burned, until the mill again
commenced operations, are included in
the enumeration, 20 that the actual weekly
average has been atleast 1000 kegs.
As showing the possible productive ca
paeity Of the works, we may add that FOL
the week ending February 14th, they
turned out 6s67 kegs, which we put or
record as the largest number ever made
in the same time and BY the same mum
Der Of machines, BY any factory IN the
United States. IT, 1s1 I'D
The works are furnished with twenty
four boiling furnaces and three heating
furnaces, and the machinery Il driven By
two large engines. In the fall. OF 1873 tn
Company again increased the capital
stock with view Of erecting blast fur
mace. For q year past this furnace, o
which we have already given 8 full des-
cription, has been in progress ant
will be ready TO go into blast By
tbs first Of June. Great care and leis.
ure has been exercised in iH construction
and It will be one Of the best CONSTRUCTED
furnaces in the country.
The buildings including the lurnaet
cover linear space more than quartz
Of mile in extent and without the thirty
dwelling houses belonging to the com.
pany, covers an area Of six acres. Th,
coal field has been enlarged to an extern
that will give 3 supply for thirty year,
It's water supplies and itS gas are furnish
ed by their own works, and are entirel!
independent Of the city. All its shipment
are made from the doors Of the factory
and one Of the best landings on the rive
extends along its whole front The To-
Mil Works are largely built Of brick, AMI
all Of them are either iron or slate rooted
They are the most substantial in construc
ton, and the most elegant in appearance
Of any works in the city and are probabl,
unsurpassed in the whole country. Tn
TOP Mill Is q fitting monument OF III,
prosperous iron industry initiated upol
that spot forty years ago.

THEY STAND By THEIR GUNS.

I4ast guy,saer, when tlo farmers Of tho North
woHtorn States discarded old party politics, and
sought to elect Slate aud local officers pledged
to roforn, there was a genoral pooh-pooh from
tic Republican politicians. They said 1t was
Democratic trick, md TINT after the oiootion tho
successful candidates would tako their position
according to tlcir previous party associatlons,
mud tho poop1o were aolemnly warned against
the danger OF restoring the Democratic party to
powor undcr tho guiBe Of Reform.
In lows, thcro waa not time to makea thorough,
organization OF tho Autobiography yotors. It
waa thought that tho Republican majority OF

In large part Of the State tho attempt to eloot

local officers. Only one-half OF tho stata 8orato

during tho whole time her currency has been at

Of his arguments was that underneath the op-

tho old State banking system looming up, who'll.

Minnesota Is no fond Of npeechmnking tint sho
ob1gea tho outgoing as wol aa tho incoming
Governor to hnrnnguo tho Legislature inaugura-
tlon day. This year, beth mossages have doa1
to say about railroads. Gov. Austin. who re-

law Of March q, 1871, by all the roads. uc
thinks, howovor, that tho loyal tariff IL like To-
gal-tondora in being unolastlc. and 90 proposes
the formation of Commission like that Of this
State. There nro tlreo ways Of fronting rail-
1onds,-tho English and American systona,
which lots them alone the Belgian, which puts
n few limos In tho hands of tho State Rnd uses
them to force down ratios on tho rest and tho
French, whioh subjects tho railways to q strict
supervision, fixing tnolr passenger and
freight rates, and permitting 3 l change
only whom tho best OF roasonB.S for it
eau be shown. Gov. Auatin considors
tho last tho most practicable and rtronieing Of
the three. uo would hayo t1ongroHBtsupplomon
State action by supervising thrangh railway
tariffs ind by digging canals and build
Ing railroads north, aouth, cast. and west. He
calculates that Minnesota would savo 81, $751; 600
year by sending her annual export Of 10 000,0
bushels Of wheat MA New OrlennH. This might
be 40, wero thore moro than a few wooks each
year when the grain would not bo spoiled by

covers much The samo ground His Testimony

law has beon violated by oyory railroad company

It necessary to procooa to extreme
measures by aajudging thcir franchisot

hayc the State condemn the railways, by tho OK

suggests the passage Of q constitutional amend

under tho various Spanish revolutionary changes,

and surrendered to tho Government, after a
long sioge. That 1t has hold out so long Is duo
not to tho particular bravery of tho Intransi-
gontes and conyicts who occupied 1t, but to the
fact Of it's natural position and remarkable
strength. The city is built upon tho doclyity OF

TOW one, completely commanded by the

Mr.. Gilbert, tho English playwright, recently
brought out a furry spectacular piece In London,
called "Pygmnlion and aa1atoa." which wns
Heyoroly criticized by the Pail Aali Gazette, tho
critic Of which declared to the public that tho
play was full OF jndecenotos and double enten-
dros. Thoreupon Mr. Gilbert, With that sensi-
tivendas peculiar to all Engliah dramatic authors,
brought suit for Nbal against tho paper.
Dramatic critics wqre oallod aa experts, copiea Of
the play we're givon to tho jury to read, and tho
Justice himself went to Soc tho play actod. Tho
result OF 1t nil was that no ono WAS injured by
tho play, TINT tho Court heartily enjoyed tho
performance, and that tho jury saw nothing baa
In 1t, or in tho critioism and gave verdict for
defendant. The Court, in commenting
upon the performance, remarked that il
there was anything in tho piece which
10-year-oll girls ought not to SEQ, then 10-yoar-
old girls ought not to 60 thero. Thoro Is .
