is that we hope these remarks will catch

Equity regards that rs done which

of Il good thing, and even ones zeal Tor

moon always shines when she ought to.
This is NIL wrong, and shows lamcn-
table ignorance on the part

have hkcned the moon to tickle and

on it that she ought to shine all night,
when it is cmphatically declared
that She Is only required to do so a

A RECENT article from the Lonson
Times, on the iron trade Of England, IS
attracting considerable attention. That
paper saws that signs are not wanting to
show that England will have to Use every
effort to keep pace with the trade IN
other countries. And in proof Of thus
the Time, makes an elaborate eXanina-
ton of the iron manufacture OF the
United States. 1t say, that OF late
years the developments Of the American
iron indu.trie. have been both large and
continuous, despite the troubles arising
from depressed trade and the coal strike;
that England exports no longer, as in
former years, control the American iron
market; and that the English iron trade
must bcstir Itself if it wishes still to
command other markets, and especially
it, own in which it has already found
formidable rIYals.

Milwaukee News.

Milwaukee News.
One day last week, a little boy, who had
been standing for some time in front Of
drlt store in Baltimore, euviOusly eyeing a
large reel, well provided with ''simmy dim
nv" tWine, as the boys call it, which was
fastened to the top of the counter, sum
mOned up courage enough 10 walk in
and ask for few yards with which to
1y his kite. The doctor bears the
reputation Of being a gOOd-natured
man, full Of humOr, and very fond Of the
little ones, but the yOungster approached
him at a time when he was out Of his usual
mood, and he consequently gave 'NO' for
an answer. The urchin had made up his
mide to have some Of that cord anyhow,
and he got it. On Thursday morning the
bOy entered the store, accompanied by
| another boy and dog. Boy No. z, having
placed a bottle on the counter, demurely
asked for FIVE cents worth Ofsirup squills and
pOllygollic, and while the doctor was filling
the order, boy No. l was trying the end OF
the cord to the dogs tail. When the man
Of medicine returned to the counter, the
reel was flying like fury. The doctor
quietly reached for a pallet-knife, and,
having hung himself over the counter,
made a desperate WhaCk at the cranium Of
the youngster, who he supposed was sitting
on the floor helping himself. But, 10. the
bows and the dog BOuncer were
not there. The doctor having tried in
vain to stop his reel, was obliged to
| give it I'D u account of the heat it cOmmu-
nicated to the palm Of his hand. When be
reached the door he beheld the boys upon
| the sidewalk about two blocks OF, and
| Bouncer in the middle Of the street going
at the rate Of forty knots an hour, the
string pointing directly toward his tail.
The reel continued to spin for some time
afterward, until it stopped Of its own ac-
/ cord.
