Umbrellas have always been property,
but lew who borrow them have ever
seemed TO think of the fact. That the
law had any practical application to
their return when borrowed is a some-
thing winch never found it's way into
the mind of any OF those poachers upon
the umbrella rack. An English court,
in the interests OF long suffering human-
ity, has recently stepped III and judi
eiaily declared that the owner OF an um-
brella has some rights which the bor-
rover is bound to respect. In the case
in point the loan OF an umbrella to the
defendant on rainy day was proven.
The borrower paid about one third oil
it's alleged value ON account. In his an
swer to plaintiffs petition he admitted
borrowing the umbrella and losing 1T,
but avarred that when he had told plain
tiff OF the loss, he said; "Oh, never
mind; it was not up TO much anyway"
But the plaintiff was up to a good deal,
as the sequel proved, for he pushed the
matter, until the court announced de-
cision in which it recognized property III
an umbrella, but entered non-suTt
a guinst the plaintiff because he was
by his father-in-iaw. A long.
suffering public can never cease to re-
gret thai he did not call iii the assistance
Of his mOther-in-1aw, as the suit would
then doubtless have been pressed to q
lsuccessfuI Issue and the right OF the
people fully guaranteed under the law.
Who steals Round About's purse steals
trash; but who b0rrOws his umbrella
and does not return it, goes to court.

PROSPECTS look gloomy for the Al
fonso Government in Spain. Our dis
patches yesterday informed us that
bankers had refused further advances
to the Government, and that leading
politicians were free to express the be-
Lief that another crisis is almost at hand.
just what Spain will do next can not
very clearly be seen. Her annual reve-
nues do not exceed ZIG, 100000. of which
it takes 4lb, 900, 900 to support her armies
leaving only 4l0oo,ooo to conduct the
civil service. Her debt has reached
953o, 900, 900, at per cent?, upon which
no interest can be paid. With this state
of affairs it ia no wonder that Madrid
bankers refuse further advances, and il
is hard to see what hope either Alfonso
or any Government that may succeed
him can have for the future. .

DIR. LINpERMAN, our urSuperintendent of
Mints, is jubilant over the low price OF
silver, and hopes at very early day to
see the country supplied with fractional
currency of coin. This prospect brings
to mind mistake from which the Ger
man Government is now suffering. In
putting lis new silver coin in circula-
tion, instead of coming rapidly and ac-
cumulating a large amount, and then
calling in the old silver currency, the
work has gone along slowly and the new
money given out as fast as it was ready.
The new coins have legal value of one-
tenth less than the old, and the brokers
buy up all the old with the new and melt
the former. AS natural consequence
the volume of paper money has, within
the last few months, greatly increased.

QUE IRON TRADE AND Its FU-
TURE.


A new era in the iron trade seems
fairly upon us, and one which is Of vast
importance to the manufacturing world
at large and the United States in par
ticular. Two significant facts recently
developed have done much toward show
ing the true status OF England and Uni
ted States in regard to this important
branch Of industry, sndin indicating the
future Of the trade in the two countries.
One of these is the recent heavy failures
in the iron manufacturing regions oi
England, and the other the showing
made by the reports of the iron business
of the United States for the year past
Great Britain has for two centuries al
most monopolized the iron traffic Of the
world. She has taken advantage of this
monopoly to enrich her capitalists and
Cypress and grind down the laborers
who manufactured her great staple
She has tried to add to her greatness al
the expense Of her working people and
those Of other nations, without believing
that the supply would ever be exhaust
ed, or that formidable rivals would rise
up across the water which would In
time not only compete with her, but fur
nish the supply which, in depleted
condition of her mines and demoral
ICED condition Of her working classes
would be out short at home.

correspondent from the Pulmas

A correspondent from the Pu1mas
county gola mines, of California, says:
AS this is almost a forgotten country, i
will endeavor to give your readers a
brief description of the geological fOrma-
tion Of this section, in order that they
may better understand the origin OF
these old deposits OF gold, and the ma
ture of the country which promises,
hereafter, to surrender still larger guam
titles of the precious metal. The iormas
tion is principally slate, carrying the
regular gold-bearing quartz In punches
FOR pockets, varying in quantity and
showing no signs anywhere of regular
quartz veins. The gold found in this
quartz is generally very coarse, ranging
lin value from a lew dollars to hundreds
| of dollars. That generally found in the
bed of the creek by the old Forty
miners, being very fine and fiakey. There
| is a distinct mineral belt, that seems to
run east and west, of about two miles in
width and about ten miles in length.
Rush creek has cut it's channel through
the middle OF the rich belt, which is per-
fectly defined and furnishes an ample
supply OF water for mining purposes.
AT some distant period in the past this
whole country was upheayed by some
tremendous CONFUSION Of Nature, set
| ting. the slate stratas into all sorts OF
irregular shapes, and throwing up high
mountains and peaks OIL mixed slate and
quarlz. Since that wonderful period

this matter has worked its way in this
section into the bed OF the creek, and

the gold was left on the bars and in the
beds of stream, and 1t was here that the
Forty-niner made his s'piie," by means

iron for our roads, and out of this grew
the bitterest contest ON the tariff ques-
ton, occasioned by the efforts of Penn
sylvania to fix a protective tariff on iron.
England then believed, in spite of the
warnings Of her best thinkers, that she
would enjoy an unlimited monopoly OF
the trade, but the tables began slowly to
turn, and now we see the trade slipping
from her grasp, her mines becoming less
productive, and the very country which
she then supplied, now not only manu-
featuring for its own use, but actually
establishing agencies for the sale OF iron
in Liverpool and London at rates below
those with which she can successfully
compete. The anxiety OF her nanufac-
turers to retain the monopoly in this her
main industry has led to ruinous con-
tracts, which, coupled with the diminu-
tion of the supply and the increasing in
telligence and strength of her working
men, have led to the failures, and,
assisted by other causes, to the destrue-
tion of the monopoly which she has en-
|joyed. That supremacy which she so
long held by reason of being both min
ing and manufacturing country is pass
ing away, and she is now asking for u
protective tariff to prevent importation
from America and also from other less
important points.
The turning point has now been
fairly reached and the United States is
taking position in the front rank of pro.
ducers, ard with her new mines and
manufacturing capacities is not only sup
plying her own enormous demand but
competing with the experience OF the
older countries in manner that tells Of
a complete breaking down Of the monop
oily, and of relief to the manufacturing
and commercial world, and of prospect
ty in store for the country and her labor.

troubles among miners and workmen al

metal in 1874 was 2,6s9,4l3 net tons
against 2,s6s,2 ,21s net tons in 1878, and 2,
854,558 net tons in 1872, showing a de
crease of 178, ,S65 tons as compared with
1873, and of only l65, 1856 tons as compared
with the prosperous year 1872. 1t is no
ticeaBle fact that, in spite of the depres
sion Of trade and the troubles mentioned
above, which were thought to be SO dis
asxous by producers abroad, 3S new
stacks were erected last year, against 81
in 1873 and Al in 1872, and there are Al
new stacks reported as begun since Jan
l, 1875. This capacity for manufacture
ing under untavorable circums tances
and the fact that the United States is
now able to sell pig iron in London and
Liverpool at prices to compete with the
reduced rates which have ruined deal
ers there, tell the whole story for ollr
new manufacturing interests, and open q
wide field OF profitable labor for our peo.
