Dry.Borte.

For two months past there has been
practically no sale for zinc ore, known as
dry-bone, of which large quantities are
raised in this locality. Scores of miners
have the products of Winters work lay
ing valueless on their hands and are put
to much inconvenience in consequences. The
stagnation in the price of this ore is at
tributed to different causes: 1st; the de
velopement of zinc mines in Missouri, bring
ing ore from that state into competition
Cd, limited demand for and deprecated
value of manufactured zinc; Cd, and most
positive, a fear that Congress will reduce
the tariff on the metal, and the foreign
article thus come into competition with the
home products; The latter cause will be
removed with the adjournment Of Con
gress, and while we sympathize with the
miners who are ihconvehienced, we trust
they will pay .heed to the lesson they have
received on free trade.
So far as we can learn there is no gooe
reason to fear that the demand heretofore
existing for zinc will not continue. The
Missouri ore wllnot long be forced to come
to La Sale to be manufactured, for fur
naces will be built nearer its place OF pro
duction, and it will be drawn out Of com
petition with the ores of this region. Thus
the three causes named will be removed
but another will remain that heretofore
existed l. g. that though dry-bone at Il
TO 20, dollars per ton, pays good prof
ito he manufacturer, blackjack pays bet
ter, and will take the preference so long as
the supplyis sufficient to keep the furnaces
running at present pricss.-Miaserat ,Posn

practicability ofthe Narrow Gauge

Practicability of the Marrow Gauge
The st. Louis & Carlo Narrow Gauge
r. r. has been in successful operation
for the distance of 90 miles from East st
Louis; for several months past, and is said
to have exceeded the highest expectatio ms
Of the builders so far as its practicability
and financial success is concerned.
Three of the Marrow Gauge viii carry as
much as two broad gauge cars, while i'm
mense quantities Of coal and stock are
daily transported over the road with lit.
tie trouble and far less expense than over
q broad gauge line. The rolling stock Of
the road, and especially the engines and
passenger coaches, are models of beauty,
the latter quality, SO far as the coaches are
concerned, being combined with comfort
and utility. The balance the road is be-
ing rapidly pushed to completion, its
workings thus far having demonstrated it
to be q grand success.

Methodist Church Improvement.

Methodist Church Improvement.
A business meeting of the members
of the M. E. Church Of this place was held
at the church after the regular services on
Tuesday evening, for the purpose OF
considering the question Of building
an addition to their house Of worship.
Joseph Bennett was called to the chair
| and James Roberts chosen Secretary.
| The object of the meeting having been
stated, those present were called upon for
| an expression oftheir opiniohs as TO what
action, if any, should be taken. 1t seemed
to be almost the unanimous Bense Of the
meeting that an addition to the basement,
for the better accommodation of the Sun
day School, and for class rooms, was impera-
lively demanded, and the only question
was whether it would be best, while build
ing this addition, to run it up the full
he light of the Church, simply enclosing
the upper part, and leaving it unfinished
till there should be greater need for it
than is felt at present. The estimated
cost of the proposed addition to the base
ment was $1,000, and as it would cost but
$500 more to raise the addition to the full
height of The Church, making q much bet
ter appearance, besides saving considera-
BILE expense in the future, it was thought
by the majority that it would DO better to
build the addition the full height at once.
It was decided to proceed with tho work
Immediately, so as to have it compl eted be-
fore cold weather. The Trustees of the
Church were instructed to Borrow $1,000,
and building committee, consisting of
Jos. Bennett, j. T. Pryor, Jr,, j. Fl. Pen
berthy, Jas. Roberts, A, s. Hearn, and
VIM. Harris, was appointed, with instruc-
tons to raise the other $500 by subscrip-
tiOns.
The proposed addition is 20 feet to the
length of the Church, making the entire
building SIS feet long by "A wide. We
hope it may soon be found necessary also
to finish the upper part of the addition.

ernment will either remain with the Re
publicans or pass to the Democrats.
There is no chance of a third party, and
the natural end of a movement of mere
personal dissatisfaction in that direction
is shown by the Liberal Convention" in
New York declining to nominate candi-
dates, and the nomination of Messrs.
Dorsheimer, F A. Conkling, Willis, and
Hughes by the regular Tammany Demo
cratic Conventions. The election in
New York is now of the utmost impor-
tance as sign of public feeling The
tendancy toward freshet of reaction
has been distinctly shown at the west.
This is perfectly understood in New
York. Every Republican in this State
knows that if he does not exert himself
the Democratic party may succeed. If
such should be the result, it can not be
said that the Republicans did not fully
exert the exigency, and their defeat
would have a deplorable significance.
There is no excuse for negligence or in
difference. . However impatient of many
things many good citizens may be, they
will not refuse to vote for Governor Dix
unless they think that Democratic res
toration would be less hurtful than con-
tinued Republican .ascendency, and in
that case they will either stay at home
or vote for Tilden.

! fdence in the friendship expressed bv

benevolent work of the White Leagues
and the charitable visits of the Kuklux
are not over calculated to restore conf
dence in these selfproclaimed "truest

If Southern Democracy earnestly seeks
to elevate and Christianize the negro
race it must stop the discipline which
held it in bondage. It must call off its
bloodhounds and send out teachers COM

negroes away by the rife and the knife

should build others and stock them with

efforts to elevate and Christianize race

Let Dmocracy pursue this plan and
write over its courts of justice "equal

Democratic majorities because they will
mean protection to the humblest citizen

and this only, is the path which leads to
Southern peace and prosperity. Will
Democracy follow it, and thus secure its
own redemption in the elevation of a

Go to Work.

ST. Albans has few-perhaps not
more than its share-of lazy, shiftless
worthless husbands. They stand around
on street corners, discussing their neigh
boris business, criticising mercilessly
everybody, and everything. They are
always ready to go home to the dinner
that the wife has earned, but that is the
only thing they ever do promptly.
Shame on youl you great big, lazy, loung-
ing loafers Go to work. Don't say you
cant find work. There are thousands of
better men than you are, breaking stone
on the public highways, and you can get
that to do. Go to work.
A man who is content to be loafer,
depending on the energy and tact of his
wife to give him his daily bread, ought
to be drummed out of any city, Go to
work and stop swinging canes on the
streets. You don't deceive anybody.
You are known as q thing that has lost
manhood; supported By a ,oomdnl If you
had grain of pride about you, you
would find work. No successful man
grumbles because there is nothing to
do" Go to work Secure the respect
and esteem of your neighaors, the love
and affection of your family, and your
own selErespect. Go to work Talk
about lazy, lounging, shifuess, loahng
