"The advantages of this section as an iron
producing country are more econspicu0usly
shown in the cost of fine qualities of ore,
as compared with their cost in other
noints. than in any other respect. Lake
Superior ores are worth 81 90 per ton IN

finest qualities of iron can be had, de-

Mrs. Lincoln at the Insane Asylum.

A BATAVIA tlll.) correspondent OF the
Chicago Times recently visited the Belle
vue Insane Hospital in the former place,
where Mrs. Lincoln is at present sojourn-
ing, and writes as follows regarding that
unfortunate lady:
At the time of the visit Of the Times
reporter to this institution she was
asleep and could not be seen, but she
was represented TO be III good spirits,
and enjoying herself fully us We'll as
could be expected. She occupies two
commo dious rooms in the northeast cor
ner of the building, on the second floor,
which command a beautiful prospect,
looking out over the town on one side
and over the broad expanse of beautiful
country on the other. A perfect tran
quillity reigns about the place, broken
only by the trill of the robin or the hum
of distant industries. Carriages are at
her disposal whenever she feels like
riding, which is usually about twice
day. Her companions on these
drives are always Mrs Patterson, her
daughter, or Mrs. Lincoln's attend
ant, who is Incorporating young
i woman, of some refinement, and to
whom Mrs. Lincoln is reported to
be already very much attached The
reporter was assured that the lady eX-
pressed no complaint whatever. She
| thinks some things have been overstated,
but she is satisfied; sheis delighted with
the country air and scenery, the drives,
the birds and the green grass. The
Superintendent thought she was sleeping
much better than she had done before
her arrival, and she appears to relish the
food served her. She does not as yet
appear difficult to please, but expresses
satisfaction with everything. In reply
to a question of the reporter as to the
nature of Mrs. Lincoln's disease, DR..
Patterson said he believed it to be more
the general impairment of her intellect
than any special ailment The doctor
would not express an opinion as to her
eventual recovery, but the conclusions
arrived at from the manner of his con-
versation were that her case was con-
| sidered almost hopeless; at any rate 1T
| will doubtless be long time before she
will be able to manage her own Affairs
with capability. No allusion has as yet
| been made to her insanity, either by her
self or others at the hospital.

MERDEK'S CAT.

Ga Fact from Persian Domestic History)
Poor. but well-born, a wise and handsome
man,
Was the young Sadik Beg of Ispahan;
Worthy of fortune, since, in happy hour
By one bold stroke, he won both peace and
power.
He wed noble lady-rich grant,
And wondrous fair-but great termagant;
So merry prophecies all mouths did fill
OF Sadik bowing to his rich wife's will.
But he had other thoughts; so when he
made M
His first salaam in the lattieed shade, q q W
The rich zenana Of his willful wife,,
lie knew that visit must decide his life.
The aarae vvas- haug'rty, put with purriing'
sweet SIS
ner favorite cat came the new lord to meet
One glance at madame's face-tne swift blade
sped,
And the poor favorite lay without her head
Dead silence fell: Sadik, serene and calm,
Wiped with his slken scarf his bloody palm
Smiled sweet, and said, :" My soul! hate 9
cat"
And Sadik Beg was master after that.
In Sadik's household maids did never vex,
His wife became the meekest OF her sex;
And his friend Merdek, rich, and henpecked
through,
Came for some private lcssons-p1at 10 do.
The story of the cat kind Sadik told;
(But, had he known, the tale was somewhat
DID,
For gossip in the Persian harems flew,
And every woman Sadik's method knew)
Merdek was charmed, his wife a pet cat kept
Which he'd behcad that night, before hi
slept;
Glad with the rare receipt the day he spent
And then toward home his doubtful footsteps
bent.
His wife with tauntings met him: what o
He fiercely drew his sword and killed her cat
Then through thAharem, clamorous, crying
few,
And, fore he knew, his wife had struck hin
too.
"My precious cat!" she cried, aud "Oh, yo'
fool
You went too late to Sadik Beg's fine school
You should-you paltry wretch! you should
/ say,

is ALL said Will mother somehow tor
mented my father so that resolved to
live and die alone; let us both give up
our hard purposes-will you, Alice?"
Wills tones pleaded better than his
words; they gained him the victory.
From the wreck of the past seemed to
spring bright future like the flowers
from out of last years dead leaves.
By and by there was a wedding; the
motherly landlady gave Alice away and
Will took her as the great gift of his
life.
AS they came home from church he
said brightly" We have both. resigned
single blessedncss; what shall we have
| instead?"
She nestled close to him and answered:
"Double blessedness."
| Peaceful and brightly the years went
on, till even Mr.. Blake learnt to believe
lin youthsand love and happiness; more
especially when a little fairy grand
daughter came to clasp his hand and
toddle in his footsteps.
One day when, for wonder, Willis
sleeve had no button he came to his wife
| for her to sew one on; something in heI
attitude, as she sat before him with the
morning sunshine on her hair, reminded
| him of that first work of hers when his
| love grew up almost in a night.
"Do you remember the first button
you put on for me- like fetter round
| my wrist, cunning Alice?" he said smil
ingly.
"Would you be loosed now, if you
could?" she asked, with tender look OF
defiance.
"Ah, no! this, our life is"-a tender
merry voice broke in, calling Father!
he ended, with thankful sigh, "Triple
blessedness" s"-LontIon Day of Rest.

Chasing the Indiana.

"FLoRAL TRIBUTE" AND A SPECIAL TRAIN-THE
STEAMSHIP GOES OFF AFTER ALL.
We find this story in the Chester Daily News :
Among the passengers on board the steamship
Indiana which sailed for Liverpool on Thursday,
the Sth inst, were bride and groom whom a
New York friend of the parties desired to honor
at the very moment of their departure by the
presentation OF handsome floral remembrance.
relegraphing to a Philadelphia friend he ar
ranged for the contamination of his
idea This friend received the offering,
which was in the shape Of very handsome
basket Of flowers, but snpposing that the
vessel did not sail until eleven o'clock OF that
day he delayed going to the wharf until nearly
thatshonr when he was Mortified to learn that
the Indiana left at 10 o'clock. Feeling that he
was bound in honor to fulfill his commission he
hastened to Broad and Prime where he engaged
special train to take him to New Castle.
Through Chester he passed at speed that
caused observers to stare with wonder, and at
Wilmington he was ahead Of the steamship. At
New Castle he jumped into boat and was rowed
10 the approaching vessel, but no one thereon
took notice Of his signals, the vessel did not
stop, and he could only sit down in despair and
groan at his failure. The casket OF flowers now
adorns..t the mantel OF his bed chamber, aremnd-
er Of his expensive, but futile attempt to e1e-
cute a romantic commission.

The Baltimore Libel Suits.

REyERDY' JOHNSON VOLUNTEERS TO HELP THR
NEWSPAPER suRD-H1s OFFER AcoEPTED-A
GREAT TRIAL IN PROSPECT.
BALTIMORE, July 19.-The three quits for libel
instituted in the Court OF Common Pleas on
Friday last, by the Governor of Maryland the
State Controller, and the State Treasurer, COM
posing the Board OF Public Works. against The
baltimore american, are likely to become adiu-
dicated ruling cases. To-day Reyerdy johnson
rendered his professional services to the propri-
etors OF The american. They were accepted,
and Mr.. Johnson's appearance was entered in
each case as attorney. In his letter volunteer
ing his services MIR. johnson says.
My motive for making this offer was. that
from the ground on which / understand the
suits have been brought, l thought the public
interest was concerned, and that the freedom
and usefulness of the public press were in
volyed This being my impression, / cannot
agree to receive any pecuniary compensation.
Owing to the high official and equally high So
cal character and reputation of the plaintiffs,
there can be no likelihood Of compromise or
settlement short of the decision of legal tribu-
nal. The official conduct Of these gentlemen
being involved on the one part in those cases,
and the extent of the liberty Of the press to crit
icse and charge corruption to public officers on
the other, the suits have already attracted at
tention throughout the State, Both parties are
represented by the ablest counsel in Maryland.
