st. Nicholas for July

Opens strongly and does not flag to
the end. It's list of contributors is
headed by three Of the most popular
female writer's for children-ROse Ter
ry Cooke, Emily Huntington Miller
and Louisa NJ. Alcott. The number
has also one of the livcliGst and mCSt
natural boys stories that have appear
ed for months, written by Rossiter
Johnson and entitled "a Great Spec
Kation." No true boy will fail to APP
precate it. Then there is an article
on Glow to Make a Boast" which
will doubtless set hammer and saw to
going, and introduce to the waters of
lake or river many a shapely craft,
built by the same young HANDS and
arms that man it. Our patriotic pride
is awakened by the fine portraits and
anecdotes of "AmeTiCan OratOrs"-
and the FOurth-Of July spirit is adj
dressed by an historical sketch Of the
first naval battle in American waters
one hundred years ago, and by the
COntTasted pictures of "Our Flag"
then and now. The account by a Ne
braska woman of How the GrasshOp-
pers Came, thoroughly proves its au-
thOrshIp 10y the SAVIOR of reality i'm its
vivid portrayal of the devastation and
dismay which followed the coming of
these small but destructive marauders'
Susan Coolidge and Sarah 0. Jewett
contribute two capital stories for girls.
The poems Of the number are excel
lent; the illustrations are zap to the
usual standard of ST. NICHOLAS,
which leaves nothing to be desired !;
and there are as many more attTac-
fractions in the number as those we
mentioned.

The Troy IRoN TEADE.-One Of the most
important events which has occurred for
long while in connection with the iron trade
is the union of the heavy firms of John \.
Griswod Co. and Erastus Corning & Co,
of Troy. For many years these two firms
have occupied foremost positions in the iron
trade, and the Albany and Rensselaer, Iron
and Steel Company. as the new organize
ton is styled, must no a very powerful cor
pOration. The works to be operated by the
new company will include the Rensselaer,
Iron Works, the Bsssemer Steel Works, and
the Albany Iron Wo.ks at Troy, and the
blast furnaces at Hudson and Fort Edward.
Mr.. Erastus Corning is the President, and
Mr.. Chester Griswold the VicePresident of
the company. All the departments OF the
new corporations works, with the exceT-
ton of the pudding department, are in
operation. Indeed, the company's steel
works and rolling mill are extraordinarily
active. This is entirely due to the firmness
of the proprietOrs in dealing with the labor
question. By refusing to yield to strikes,
they have practically broken up the unions
have kept their works running have given
to thousands Of workmen, each
of whom is pledged not to belong to any
union and they have found that the yield
Of their mills has considerably increased
with the same force. The pudders' union
only holds out, in Troy, and that must
follow the rest. The companies are engag-
ing non-union puddlers, and have given
notice that no union puddler will hereafter
be employed. So, while Pittsburg is idle,
Troy is hard at work

York, as well as of all other parts of the
United States, will rejoice greatly in the
new dignity that has been accorded to
them by the Holy Father; but there will
be likely to be Il feeling of jealousy on the

The lumber dealers of Albany have petit
toned the Canal Board for a reduction of
tolls on the Erie Canal They say the
movement Of lumber by that canal has
begun to diminish that while the tolls
on wheat have been reduced those on lum-
Der have been increased that the railroads
are taking the lumber from the canals,
shown by the fact that while the move
ment of agricultural products by the y. Y.
c. L H. R. R. r. has increased two hundred
per cent. since 1868, that of products of the
forest has for the same time increased three
hundred and fifty per cent. In fine they
say that they regard reduction to 3 mills
per thousand feet per mile on pine and
hardwoods, which is equal to reduction
of SO cts. per thousand from Buffalo and 81
cts. from 0swego to Albany, as indispens-
able to prevent ruinous diversion from the
canals. They think it equally essential that
the toll on hemlock and spruce should be
reduced to mills per thousand feet.

The Canadian papers announce that the
Dominion government has made CONTRACT
with Hon. A. &. Foster, manager oil tne
Southeastern and Canada Central Halfway
for the construction of the Georgian Bay
branch of the Canadian Pacific Railway-'o
connec. with the Canada Central-with a
subsidy of $4,000 per mile and 2o,ooo
acres of land for each mile of railway con-
structed, and a guarantee of four per cent
rer annum for 25 years on s. 500 for each
mile of the railway Col. Foster has re-
signed his seat in the Canadian Senate TO
take supervision of the work, which IS to DC
completed January LIST, 1871. An ORDER Oh
Council also grants to the Canada central
Extension twelve thousand dollars in gold
per mile to aid in the construction OF the
line west from Douglas to connect with the
eastern end of the Georgian Bay branch,
which will be subsidy of So 900 per mile
for S. miles.
The Toronto people are excited on the
subject, considering that the scheme Is IN the
interest Of Montreal and will operate to the
disadvantage of Toronto. The st. Johns
Netrs says that there is no doubt that Mr.
Fosters contract is "a big thing. Ii
adds
1t will probably net the ex-senator from
eight to ten millions of dollars but what 1t
will cost him only the future can tell. Some
folks allege that Mr. Foster, who is report
ed to be acting in conjunction with Ameri-
can friends, would not surrender the con-
tract for S4.O00,000. DIR. Upper affirms
tina, he won't build the road for the money
but that he will hereafter come before Par
lament and ask and probably obtain large
bonuses and that when the line is built II
will be practically useless. 1t Is convenient
at times to wear reversible coat.

The Indiana Legislature has repealed the
Baxter local option and civil damages liquor
law ami passed license law in its place
The new law requires each saloon keeper to
give bonds of $4,000 to keep an orderly
house aud pay all damages arising under the
act. No liquor can be lawfully sold on
Sunday, nor on election day, nor on holt
day No liquor can be sold to person who
is in the habit of becoming intoxicated, or
after notice served by his friends forbdding
the sale to him public drunkenness is made
a misdemeanor selling without license is
punishable by fine and imprisonment sell
ing to a minor is made a penal offense, and
the minor who misrepresents his age is also
to be punished; the adulteration of liquor
or selling such liquor is prohibited if a
saloon is kept in disorderly manner it
shall be deemed a common nuisance and be
closed saloon-keepers are made "person-
ally liable, and also liable on their bond. 10
any person who may sustain any injury or
damage TO their person or property, or
means of support on account of the use of
such intoxicating liquors.
This Is a pretty stringent license Law
and it will doubtless share the fate of all
strict license laws, in prevailing non-en-
forcement. If it does not become praeti-
cally a dead letter in every large town in
lndiana-broken hundred times for every
one time that it is obeyed or enforced-it
will be an exception to the history of all Ii
cense laws which require anything more
than q moderate fee for license, or really
undertake to restrict the traffic in LIQUOR.
