Another attempt has been made to
kidnap children IN Philadelphia in the
same manner as the Ross boy, who has
been sought for so unavailingly. Surely
there ought to be power in Philadel-

able enterprise, and mete out to them a

The motion for the restoration of
monarchy in France, which, according
to cable dispatches, is about to be intro
duced into the French Assembly, comes
at time singularly unfavorable for its
success. Neither of the three pretend
ers to the crown have the hold, either
upon the Assembly or the country, which
would ensure the success of their claims.
The Count de Chambord is without any
following among the people or the poll
ticians the Count de Paris, conscious
of his enfeebled position, wisely keeps
in the back ground, while the Prince
Imperial has no substantial support.
The argument of Theirs for the repub-
lie, that there is only one throne and
three aspirants for it, seems peculiarly
strong now, and the chances of the Mon
archists have seldom seemed more un-
favorable

American makers of tin ware are now
actually underselling the British in their
own markets. This fact London pub
LEGATION, the Engineer, announces by
way of warning, in the following terms:
Our Birmingham correspondent writes
to US as follows: In the tin-plate de-
partment of the industry of this district
competition has sprang up from an un-
expected quarter. For a long time past
one of the best customers of the British
maker for tin and terne plates has been
the United States of America At one
time we were sending to that country
great consignments of tin-plate goods in
varied shapes and of different values
lately the Americans have learned them
selves to use up the tin plates, and now
we have them shipping tin-wares to this
country, made from the tin plates which
we have supplied them. The United
States manufacturer displays an amount
of ingenuity in invention which is but
seldom seen in England, and the handi-
craftsmen in the New World, unlike
those of the Old, are ready to adapt
themselves to a new pattern as soon as
it can be shown that it is at all proba-
BILE to be success. The American tin
plate goods that are now being offered
in Birmingham and South Stafordshire
are described as simply marvellous, both
as to the price of the articles and the
ingenuity displayed in their construction.
Surely there is something very wrong in
this country when the Americans, after
buying our tin plates and paying heaV-
Ter wages for the manufacture of the ar
ticle, are able to offer it here at prices
much under those at which we can pro.
duce it.
