Iron.Maklng in Chicago.

The Chicago Post evidently thinks that
city is to become the great Western iron
market. lis Hllusion to Pennsylvania
losing her prestige in the iron trade, how.
ever, is not warranted by the facts, as the
figures are within its reach to show that
the increase in this notable branch OF
Pennsylvania industry still continues.
The Post says:
ut is but few years since every pound
OF pig iron used by the iron.workers Of
Chicago was brought here either from the
East or ST. Louis, and Ohio, and it was
not supposed possible that we could ever
succeed in making pig" at price which
would enable the smelter 10 compete with
such favored localities as Pittsburgh,
Cleveland and ST. Louis. The discovery
OF extensive, we may say inexhaustable,
coal fields in Indiana, and the construction
OF numerous lines Of railroad from them
TO this city, as well US the great and
rapidly increasing facilities Tor procuring
ore from the iron fields OF Missouri, Wis
Consin and Michigan, has revolution
lied the iron business OF the coun.
try. Pennsylvania, which has long con.
trollcd the iron trade of the country, is
rapidly losing her prestige, which is being
transferred to the West. The vast iron
deposits o! Missouri give st. Louis great
advantage, on account of the facilities fol
procuring cheap ores. But this advantage
is counterbalanCed by the closer proxi-
nifty Of Chicago to the coal fields OF Indi
ana, and the cheap rate at which coal far
superior for the purpose OF iron making
to any yet discovered near ST. Louis gives
Chicago an advantage in the quality and
Cheapness Of fuel Tor smelling, equal 10
what St. Louis possesses in the way oil
ores. The advantage which Chicago pos.
sesses on account OF It's location, enables
the manufacturers to receive supplies from
any section OF the country direct from the
cars, and ship the manufactured article
without being subjected to the heavy ex.
pense for drayage imposed on the St.
Louis furnaces. ltany other proofs were
necessary 10 establish The superior advan
tage OF Chicago, We could point to the
fact that during the depression In the iror
trade last summer the Chicago furnaces
were constantly in blast, while all but one
stack in st. Louis blew out.

Ma1ims OF Cardinal ia Re,--

Some Of the most celebrated aphorisml

his maximS have their value, as the re.
Elections which great and able mar
formed from long experience and practice
In great business. This was Lord Ches

true conclusions, drawn from facts, uo
from speculation" We subjoin o few O.
them:
Weak men never yield at the proper
time.
There are no small steps In great affairs

When fear rises TO o certain height Il
produces the same effects as temerity,
Fear never applies the proper remedy.
We should never play with favor; we
cannot too closely embrace 1t when It 10

ANOTHER BALLOON ExPRDTTioN.-The
failure of all North Pole expeditions 10
discover the secret Of the Arctic regions
has stimulated the Arctic balloon voyage
ExravAgant as the notion may appear, II
is not more exIravagant than Professor
Wise's project Of crossing the Atlantic
ocean in balloon. One advantage Of an
aerial North Pole voyage Is the tempera-
tuEe Of the Arctic regions, which prevents
the escape Of gas from tho balloon to such
a degree that 1t Is supposed to be quite
feasible to construct q balloon which will
last a three months voyage. Another sd'
vantage Is the absence Of darkness In the
Northern regions. II the balloon leaves
In the summer time, the sun will illumine
the heavens during the whole trip. Then,
again, the permanencY In the direction Of
the winds around tho regions oil the North
Pole would be another point in favor oil
the trip to the North Pole over that across
the Atlantic. The size of tho proposed
balloon is fixed at about 10, 600 cubic me-
tres. 1t is calculated to carry ten men,
three months provisions, apart from the
ballast, u number Of instruments, an an
Choir and dragging rope, which will
touch the ground should the balloon sink
too near TO the earth. An ingenious ar
rangement has also been made TO prevent
the balloon from rising higher than 800
metres, or about $500 feet. The boat OF
the balloon is to be lined with sheep skins
and heated with lamps, so that even Il the
temperature should fall TO thirty.two de-
grees below zero, outside, it will be five
degrees above zero inside. A vessel Is 10

tielh degree OF latitude. This will leave
a trip Of about 800 miles TO the North
Pole tor the balloon TO accomplish; and
the voyage there and back could be made
within twenty days Everything, how.
ever, Is TO be prepared for full three
months trip. The enterprise Is exciting
unusual interest amongst the scientific
men Of Europe, and Is, indeed, one Of the
most wonderful schemes ever conceived
by the human mind.

The music of the bells was splendid, and the
humorous characters, exhibited by Messrs.
Wyman and Hamilton, brought down the
house, and the bone solos and clog dancing
by the Boy Wonder was the best we ever
Witnessed. We commend their entertain
ment wherever they travel"

tertainment:
