The reports of the meetings of the Iron
Makers held in Philadelphia last week are
most encouraging despite The effects of the
panic which has paralyzed so many enter
prises requiring large amounts of iron. One of
the best indications to be obtained from their
reports is that the hold the iron masters of
England upon this country is fast relaxing. In
the first six months of 1873, the export of
rails from England to this country was 14O,-
600 tons less than in the same period of the
year before. For the whole year the falling
off was $4,000. Yet England's export to
other countries showed large increase. This
decadence is due partly to the increased cost
of production in England, owing to labor
charges and the difficulty of getting cheap
coal, and partly TO the remarkable expansion
of the iron business here. In 1854 the total
production of pig iron in the United States
was 900 tons. In 1855 it was 1850, 343 !;
last year it was 1885, 434, falling off of 1885,
600 tons from the year before. This was ow-
ing to the panic, which sent nearly all of the
iron furnaces out of blast for a time. Their
fires are now, however, mostly rekinded and
healthy production is in progress, to which
there will be no drawback unless the makers
ofiron seek to sustain higher prices and make
larger profits than are warranted The man
ufacture of rails in this country was, in 1854
1OS, 200 tons, the imports $4,000. For sew
eral yeare past the manufacture has been
steadily increasing, and making proportion
ate gain upon the import. In 1872 and 1873
the returns are as follows:
1872. 1873
Rais made .................. OIL 1892 $50, 900
Rails imported. ................ .467,3O4 ls5,7O2
There are $50 blast furnaces in the coun-
try and 81 rolling Nails which are prepared to
make heavy rails. OF the former about 400
were known to be in blast in January, and OF
the latter all but six were at work.

Current Notes.

The poor World has hard time of it in
trying to make the cadaver it calls the demo-
cratic party stand upon its legs. 1t props the
thing up every day or two, labels it all over
with notices and devices of its own inven-
ton, paints the hollow old cheeks and
sets candles in the eye-holes, and then shouts
aloud, "There see; just as good as ever it
was" As soon as its back is turned, howev-
er, the wretched lay-igure falls to the earth.
We admire the persistency of the World, and
sincerely sympathize in its disappointments.

SOME of the bureau officers connected with
the Interior Department in Washington de-
sire to have the pension agencies abolished
and the pensioners paid by check from Wash
ington. The Hartford Courant and other pa
pers take decided grounds against the PROPOSE
ton both because it will necessarily occasion
delay, frequent frauds and is in the direction
of centralizing all the offices in Washington.
The compensation of the pension agents in
most of the States is not large when the large
expenses are considered. For instance, in
this district the pay for two and half years
ending Nov. 30th 1873, was 1000 while the
expenses of clerk hire, rent, postage station
cry etc. were $40, 272.25.

Natures Cathartie.

No medicine is needed to keep the bowels IN order
as long natures cathartic the bile flows freely
and regularly from its in the liver and is of
the RICH strength and quality But the great hillary
gland is easily dsordered and the of
irregularities serious. To bring it back to it's
natural condition when thus affected, Ecstetter's
Stomach Btters should be taken at least twice day
until the desired object is attained. Constipation is
due to scant supply of bile, or to lack of the slim
ula.ing element in that fluid. In either case mere
purgation is useless. The liver must be compelled to
yield the supply of bile necessary to remove the
waste matter from the system at least once in twen-
tyOur hours before radical cure of costiveness
be accomplished. Hostetter's Btters produces this
effect Its action upon the stomach and liver is d-
rect and salutary and through these organs it regu
lates and irvigorates the whole frame.

Mr.. CoRcoRAN, Washington banker,
says that an editor of that city offered to get
his (Corcoran's) tax bill 1922 ,301 or reduced
sixteen per cent. when six was the regular
discount. We have some fine journalism in
Washington. but ii the banker would tell the
name of this editor and publisher, there
would be something very bad in the pipes of

MR. PINCHBAcK, of Louisiana, is perfectly
willing that the investigation into Louisiana

Is innocent and good and patriotic and such.
This would be out of place in that State. He
merely says that ifhe is not vindicated, fair
investigation will make him a ''minor figure

who will have to march i'm his van.'

IT is said that the President has decided to
stand by the rules of the Civil Service as re-
vised by the Commission. At recent meet
ing of the Commission and Cabinet, the as
sault of General Butler and the bill of Mr..
Smart of New York to divide patronage
among the Congressional districts were both
considered and sharply criticised. If Con-
gress should be foolish enough to pass Smart's
bill the President will veto it because il
practically robs the Executive of the appoint
ing power. There Is no danger, however
that Congress will adopt the bill, las the Com
mittee on Civil Service are opposed to it.
1t is doubtless the bill of Gen. Butler pre- sent
ed BY Mr.. Smart.

MARYLAND last week had two hangings
and both were conducted in the most ap-

and far from being kid glove murderers. They
both made little speeches on the scafold and

case fifteen thousand people assembled, and
standing around the Jail yard, shouted Tor the
sheriff to hurry up. When the trembling vic

yells. In the other case people went on foot

THE REVIVAL OF TRADE.

It seems to be the general opinion OF
our trades people that better business
has seldom been done at this time OF
year than that which is now going on.
The influences of the Christmas season
are opening the hearts and pockets ofall
classes, and for the present stagnationin
trade has disappeared, We hope not to
return. The bookstores, like Scribner's,
the Appelton's, Harpers', and Macmil-
lan's, are crowded with purchasers.
Tifany's, the Gorham Company, and
other large establishments, have as much
as they can do to attend to their custom
ers, and houses like Lord & Taylor's,
Arnold & Constable's, Stewart's and
Kinzey's are literally besieged byladies.
In short, we may look in vain for signs
of ''hard times" at thepresent moment.
We are strongly inclined to believe that
this improved state of affairs will outlast
the Christmas season, and that we have
hidden farewell to the last lingering re-
suits Of the panic of last year.HLNew

TYING HER BONNET UNDER HER
CHIN.
By NORA PERRY.

Tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied her raven ringlets in;
But not alone IN the silken snare
Did she catch her lovely floating hair,
For, tying, her bonnet under her chin,
She tied a young mans heart within.
They were stroling together up the hill
Where the wind comes blowing merry
and chill,
And It blew the curls, a frolicsome race,
All over the happy peach-colored face,
Til, scolding and laughing, she tied
them IN,
Under her beautiful dimpled chin.
And it blew color, bright as the bloom
OF the pinkest fuehsia's tossing plume,
All over the cheeks of the prettiest girl
That ever imprisoned a romping curl,
Or, tying her bonnet under her chin,
Tied a young mans heart within.
A0lCCBO4 tt4l4 otCCyC4 6AO" liz -----
Madder, merrier, chillier still
The western wind blew down, and played
The widest tricks with the little maid.
As, tying the bonnet under her chin
She tied q young mans heart within.
o western wind, do you think it was fair
To play such tricks with her floating
hair?
So gladly, gleefully do your best
To blow her against the young mans
breast,
Where he as gladly folded her In,
And kissed;her mouth and her dimpled
chinl
All Ellery Vane, you little thought
An hour ago, when you besought
This country lass to walk with you,
After the sun had dried the dew,
What perilous danger you'd be in
As she tied her bonnet under her chin.

the Department has been recognized,

tary does not believe that the present

CATHOLIC FIDELITY TO THE LAW.

The Catholic Review repels theinsinu-
alton of the Examiner in the following
decided terms: a--
The charge of disloyalty to the State,
which has been made against Catholics
by every demagogue and persecutor, is
as old asthe days of Christ himself. The
answer to it is always to be foundin the
teachings of our doctors and the prac-
tees of our people. 1t is uniformly the
same. Invariable we have been taught
submission to lawfully constituted au-
thority, not merely for peace sake, but
also for conscience, and invariably Cath
Ole peoples have carried their obedience
to this teaching to a degree of fidelity
unexampled among other religions.
