The Consumption or Lead.


The United States consumes CO., 0
tons Of lead every year. Every pound of
this can be produced at home. And yet
with a bounty of two cents a pound in
the shape of protection, we last year i'm
ported 1000 tons of lead, producing at
the same time $4,000 tons. Two countries
only, Spain and Great Britain, are pro-
ducing mere lead than the United States.
1t would only require a slight increase of
lead to give us a surplus for export; nor
can any limit be placed on future pro-
duction. Lead can be produced in this
country as cheaply as in any other.
Lead has become an incident of silver
mining everywhere west of the Rocky
Mountains. Argentiferous galena is
found everywhere. A few years ago the
miner did not know what to do with this
base metal. Now he wants nothing bet
ter than to find hat his silver mine is
carrying a large proportion of lead. The
day is not far distant when $4,000 tons
of lead will be annually shipped from
the port of San Francisco to Europe.
and this will be done without the aid of
bounties in the shape of protection.
Lead will be parted from silver, and both
products will be sold in the market. The
consumption oflead in the civilized world
is enormous, and it is increasing rapidly.
The cheaper it becomes, the more general
will be its use.

steinway,s Victory and Laurels.

The following official report of the Judges
of Awards, accompanying the Medal, shows
conclusively that the highest honors in the
gift of the Centennial authorities were
unanimously awarded to Steiuway & Sons,
viz: For greatest concert capacity in Grand
Pianos, as also highest degree of excellence
in all their styles of pianos, viz: largest vol.
ume, purity and duration of tone, and extra
ordinary carrying capacity, with precision
and durability Of mechanism; also, novel
disposition of the strings, and construction
and bracing of the metal Frame"
The report then infinitely describes and
emphatically indorses the six principal pat
ented improvements which have made the
Steinway
THE STANDARD PIANOS OF THE WORLD.
Referring to Steinway's exhibits in Ma.
chinery Hall of samples of hardware, metal
frames, and patent tubular actions, the re.
port further states:
"These articles of composite metal show
the highest perfection of finish and work.
manship and the greatest firmness and uni
formity of metal structure, a steel.like and
sounding quality, with a tensile strength ex.
ceeding five thousand pounds per square
centimetre, as demonstrated by actual tests.
The full metal frames of cupola shape pos.
sess an ~unequalled degree of resistance, per.
hitting a vastly increased tension of strings
without the slightest danger of break or
crack in said metal frames, thereby consid.
erably increasing the vibratory power, and
augmenting the lasting qualities of their in.
| struments,"

to me that insurrection and domestic vio-

night, in arms, numbering some peaceable
citizens and intimidating others, which CON-
binations, though forbidden by the laws of
the State can not be controlled or suppressed
by the ordinary course of justice; and

1t is impossible to express adequately the
deep sense of gratitude felt by the people
of Savannah for the generous ~beneYolence
which has been extended to us from all
parts of the United States in this, our
supreme hour of distress and tribulation.
1t has soothed many a pillow, and relieved
many an aching heart, Such deeds do more
to bind the inhabitants of this land in SYM
pathy together as citizens of a common
country tnan all the political theories that
were ever advanced.
ALL that we can now return to our bene.
factors are our heartfelt thanks, and sincere
prayers that the Almighty may bless and
preserve in their W homes the noble PEG.
pie who have so readily come to our rescue,
and long shield them from the pestilence
that walketh in darkness and the destruc-
ton that wasteth at MONDAY. Justice and
candor require us to announce at this time,
by reason Of the large llberality of the sub.
scriptions in money and supplies already
afforded to us, W. are no longer in immedi-
ate need, and we, therefore, ask our friends
everywhere to cease for the present their
charitable contributions. If the necessity
for assistance shall again arise among us,
we will frankly and INTERESTINGLY appeal
to them for relief.

A Compliment to American Ind ustry


The Grand Niebelungen Orchestra at
Bayreuth, under the leadership of Hans
Richter and August Wilhelmy, have pre-
sented to Richard Wagner a beautiful
Concert Grand of Messrs. George Steck
and Co.'s make, New York, which is not
only Il high compliment to the we'll
known firm, but also to American indus
try. This is the same firm that was the
recipient of the only Gold Medal for
best pianos at the Worlds Fair in vi
emma, 1873, and which was also just now
awarded the first prize at the Centen-
NAL Exhibition, George Steck q Co.'s
name being placed at the head of the
list of awards for pianos, theirs having
again proved to be the finest in tone and
of greater durability than all other IN
struments on exhibition. The Steck
pianos stand thus acknowledged before
the world as being above all competi-
ton, and are therefore preferable to pur-
chasers who wish to cur a strictly
first-class and reliable instrument.

The European War Excitement.

LONDON, Oct. 1S-At this hour the Stock
Exchange is greatly excited, and it is almost
impossible to give accurate quotations. Rus
sian securities have declined seven, making
a fall of nearly twenty within q week. The
war between Russia and Turkey is con-
sidered as already begun, and it is generally
believed that other Powers will become in
volved. A commercial and financial crisis
in Russia, and a consequent heavy fall in
Russia exchange, adds TO the confusion.
The funded loan, the 'only American stock
much dealt in, feels the influence of the pre-
vailing depression, andis quoted at 105A@
LOG.
The Globe says a complete panic prevails
on the Stock Exchange. The news of Rus
sia's apparent determination to make a war
upon Turkey has confirmed the fears which
for several days has depressed the market
and eliminated, to-day, in an indiscriminate
pressure of the sale of all descriptions of
stock, not only by spectators stimulating
panic fears, but by bona tide holders of
securities especially foreign. There was at
the opening a further serious decline in
quotati ms, and it was difficult to obtain
prices at which bargains could be effected,
the fluctuations being so great and frequent.
The changes included a reduction of five
per cent. in Hungarian, one and ene.fourth
in Turkish, two in Egyptian, three in Italian,
and less but considerable in all stocks.
