LIEUTENANT CAMERON, in his recent
travels in Central Africa, came 20 II
country where the iron trade was in Il
hourshing condition, there being many
iounderies, about fifty feet long by thirty
feet wide, where they frequently got one
hundred and fifty to twohundred pounds
of metal in a single smelling. Here he
saw pieces of iron worked simply by the
hammer, and nodded into various shapes,
including the human form, as completely
finished as if manipulated by the most
skilltul English artisan.

The Economist states that from Janu.
airy to May every English railway except
two shows decrease in earnings as cont
pared with the corresponding period in
1878. The net decrease of receipts dur
ing four months and three weeks is about
$725CO0. All the roads show some
decrease, which during the last week,
amounts to about S6S0,0OO. The latest
American railroad returns are much
more encouraging. Only nine out OF
nineteen roads show any decrease.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

Mr.. EDIToR.-Dear Sir:-Your cores
pondent in the Issue of the 9Th instant,
over the signature of Host or Guest, :"
perhaps it was, seems to have aroused the
snarls and snaps of some solemn, melan-
choly and morose sinner, who would object
to others enjoying themselves simply be
cause she, or he, happens to have no
capacity for enjoyment, or perhaps has
passed the age to join in the amusement of
a social dance. Il don't mean round dances
or public balls, for they are generally
associated with positive evil. But how
can any cultivated rational being in this
age of the world, there was time when
people thought the Devil was in the fiddle,
object to ordinary dancing in select com
pany. for an evenings entertainment?-
Need l say, how much more genteel and
refined it is than the mawkish kissing
plays, or even the gossip, that the excessively
pious usually substitute for the dance; and
where, in all the Holy Word of God. is
there one sentence to prescribe it, which
would not more fully apply to the plays
and gossips?
1 earnestly hope that "Fidelity" may
be led to enjoy the refining, refreshing, and
joyous influences of God loving and sim
fearing religion which would promptly
change that melancholy and moroseness
into sympathy with his fellow creatures
when they are gay and glad.
