THE Chicago Times advocates
convention Of the friends of revenue
reform and of n legitimate currency,
and signs to the call the names of the
members of the Democratic and Libcr-
al State central committees, and Of
number of other gentlemen. 1.-THE com
mittec aud the gentleman named, were
unanimously in favor of the Scptem-
Der convention suggested by the
Times, the problem Of how to or
ganiac a new political party to take
the place of the Democratic party,
would be easily solved but the trouble
il, very few of either the Democrats,
Liberals or Republicans named by the
Times could be induced to unite in
such a combination. 1t would be
wise act if they did do so, but
We know too much about human nature
to believe that many men of many
minds can be Induced by the invitation
of newspaper to become of one mind
in politics aud unite pleasantly in the
bonds of political fellowship. The
suggestions made by the Times are
wise in themselves they ought to be
acted upon by all persons opposed to
the shortcomings of Radicalism, but
they arc impracticable in the present
condition or public affairs If the
Times will now fall IN aud aid in the
| education of the masses of the Democ.
ratio party, it is possible to induce that
organization, in this state, to act
with wisdom and make n proper de-
claration Of principles. The Times
must admit that the Democratic party
has been led into its mistakes by the
folly Of its leaders-that the masses of
the party have been always believers in
the principles SO ably advocated by the
| llhco' II tIlS II not tGuct 'ntu all
the people Of the land have been wan.
dcring after strange gods, aud nobody
has been right but the Times, since
all the people have been following after
either the Radical or the Democratic
party leaders. But we believe the
Democratic masses have been sound in
principle. Why not, then, attempt to
release the party from the grasp of the
party leaders, and induce it 10 proclaim
true Democratic principles? II we fai
to do SO, We shall be in no worse posi-
tion than We are now; aud, if the leader,

He Is THEIR MAN.

The Sun says there is ono intcn-
ton Of asking Col Taylor to become
a candidate for congress, and adds ::
"Col, Taylor is not their man. But
wc suppose his nomination would suit
the Republicans as we'll as any other.
In fact, it don't mako much difference
to them who their opponents nominate,
as they propose to send Isaac back to
Washington for another term
Who does the Sun refer to when il
says "Taylor is not their man" We
do not know Democrat, Liberal Re
publican or Independent Relormer in
the district wEo could have any objcc-
ton to Col Taylor's candidacy. lie
possesses all the necessary requisites
of a popular candidate. lie has the
public confidence, and every person
who knows him, every person who has
seen him, knows he would be a repre-
sentative that would he an honor to
the district. He is their man, if the
Opposition is wise.
la saying, tho Republicans do not
fear Col. Taylor or any other condi.
| date, the SUI is whistling to keep up
its courage. The Sun knows that
the Republican managers are fearful OF
the result Of the election this fall that
they are all aware ofthe fact that Capt
Clements is not as strong as he was two
years ago and will be defeated if the
Opposition nominate candidate upon
whom they eau unite, and who will
bring to the polls the strength Of the
party. Col Taylor is that man. He
can poll every Democratic aud Liberal
Republican vote IN the district, and
will receive the votes Of many Rcpubl,
leans.

THE MAGNETIC! IRON BANKS OF ARKANSAS.

To the Editor 0f The Chicago 1Tittne:
Sir Next IN wonder to the Hot Springs, tho
Magnetic Coyo and Fourche Cove Iron Banks,
situated in Hot Spring County, about 65 mica
from, Little Rock, and near the Cairo l. Fulton
Railroad, aro among tho great natural onriositcs
on tho American Continont. The Fonrcho Covo
deposit covers about acres Of almost level
ground In the cove from which it takes its name.
Tho ore il in fragments Of from tho size OF
nut up to many pounds in woight. The ord Is
not only strongly magnetic, but possosaes high
polarity, and freedom from every description Of
foreign substances which are Objectionable in
oros required for mailing 1llst-caas iron.
IN average sample Of orc shows tho following
proportions: Metallic iron, 67 per cent mnn-
gnnoso, 8 per cent; titanium, s por cent limo,
q of por cent; silica, q per cent aluminium
aud undetermined rcsitluntn, 171a por cont.
Not trace Of sulphur Or phosphorus WAS
found in any Of tho assays. The presence of
manganese and titanium shows theore possesses
all tho, requisite properties for making n first
class steel. 1t il we'll known that the celebrated
Damascus, az well as tho finest India steel, IL
made from orc holding titaninm and manganese.

advantage Of the manganese i'll con-

That it o'ercomes tho refractory nature

Struck by Lightning and Burned to tho
Ground.
On Saturday morning last about q NJ,
during the thunder and rain storm pre-
vailIng in this city, there was one partIc-
ularly sharp and vivid fash of lightning,
followed by peal OF thunder that must
have awakened nearly every slumberer
in the city, The report was one of the
lOudest and sharpest we have ever heard
in this country OF severe thunder storms.
The common ejaculation must have been,
THAT hit close to the town somewhere -
Perhaps in ten minutes afterwards the
sharp tones Of the fire bell rang out on the
night air, and away of In distant streets
there were occasional cries of "Fire! fire.!
fire!!r' Sooner than we can write this
the heavens and the east sides and ends
OF the buildings In the city were lit UP
with glare. There was rush for the
NJ. X. & T. depot, half mile OF, which
was discovered to be on fire. When the
engine arrived the building was too far
gone to do any good, so the attention OF
the fire department was turned to saving
the near building, which was a small no.
tel. Quickly was ths depot reduced &c
ashes. The loss TO the company was
about $4,000, including between $500 and
$500 IN money. The principal loss in
goods was to the stock OF VIM. Daum o;
Eureka, which consisted OF iron, nails
bolts, &c.
We understand steps have already beer
taken to rebuild the depot, and soon ;
new and better one will be furnished. Il
will be little longer and not quite 81
wide as the old one.

Go EAST BY WAY OF ST.. LoUIs.-In
these days of railroad competition the
wise traveller selects his route before
leaving home. In almost every in
stance he desires to reach his destina-
ton as speedily as possible, and for the
accomplishment OF that purpose the
Missouri Pacific Through Line from
the West to the East, via Kansas City
and st. Louis, offers inducements I'M
surpassed by any other line in the
country. Everything connected with
the Missouri Pacific r. X. is first-class,
and the adoption of the Miller Plat
form and the Westinghouse Air Brake
together with its Pullman SleeperS,
and Reclining Chair Coaches, render a
trip over the line perfectly safe and
pleasant. Passengers from all parts of
the West by taking its express trains
at Kansas City, Leayenworth, Atchison
and other prominent cities, are landed
n st. Louis at seasonable hours morn
ing and evening, and in ample time to
make direct connection with all
railroads for every point in the
North, East and South. Partic-
