ITALY GIRDLNG. FOR WAR.
Pail Nall Gazette, Oct. %.

The Italian Minister of War has ordered
the formation of fourth railway company
to be attached to the Second regiment Of
engineers at Turin, and the italian forces,
though numbering only ten army corps,
have twice as many of these railway COM
panies 80 the French with twenty army
corps. The Minister of War, being of
opinion that such companies should be
able to do something more than merely
destroy or construct q line of railways, and
above all that they should be we'll Oficered,
has arranged that q course of instruction
on railway work shall be given to certain
cstegories of officers uEder the direction of
tue general staff. The course is TO be
divided into two parts-the first pTepara-
period of twenty days, which began last
week, lectures will be delivered at the
various garrison towns, and during the sec
ond period the officers will be sent to diff
fereEt railway stations to 60 through some
practical work. The officers detached for
that duty are to receive extra pay, and
great preparations have been made for col
lecting the rolling stock required for prac-
ticing the conveyance of horses and troops
by railway. While these measures are
being taken for insuring a speedy coDcen-
tration of troops upon the French frontier,
the Alpine fortresses are being strongly
fortified, Thus the SentiReILd delR ALpi
announces that the Notifications of VenadiO
are being buried on; and the GdsetG
PientonteSe states that the Minister OF war
has sent instructions that the worka at
Fenestrelie are to be completed without
delay, and that, in consequence, part of the
Second regiment of engineers has been dis
patched there from Casale. All the news
papers in North Italy speak OF the daily
passage of guns and ammunition on their
way to the arsenals aud forts of the Alps,

Robert Crawshay, "the iron king" of
Great Britain has closed his great iron
works at Cyfartha, Mertbyr-Tydvil in
South Wales. Mr.. Crawshay was worth
$4,000, 900 some three years ago, but the
depressed condition of the iron trade,
caused in great measure by American COM
petition, has proved so heavy drain upon
his immense resources that he is very des-
pondent and does not know "when, it ever,
he will reopen his works." An English
correspondent writes:
To-day, in connection with the clouds
that have fallen upon Cyfartha, trade
journal informs us that two Directors of q
Yorkshire firm of iron masters have "fOund
mountains of iron stone as fine as the Dan
nemora and Swedish brands in the vicinity
of Lake Champlain. Under the primeval
forests of that district there are said to be
stored inexhaustible supplies of rich, black
ore which carnot be equalled in England,
and they are spread over dlstTict as large
as Yorkshire ITSELF" The firm of which
these two directors are members have re-
moved their headquarters to the United
States and several other great iron houses
are talking of emigrating, and being the
first to establish works at the various
points of the great universal discoveries in
Atlantic to Liverpool in company with a
mining engineer whose trunks were full of
magnifcenG specimens of hematite iron
found in Virginia, where, he Informed me,
he had an interest in some new mining
works promoted by English enterprise
The Daily Telegraph, on the authority of
Mr.. Lothian Bell, an ironmaster, of the
North of England, says that the steel man.
to extinguish English trade with the United
States in that particular department.. The
total iron and steel products exported from
Great Britain in 1873, compared with those
exported last year, show reduction in
value of not less than $65, 900, 600 and the
many silent blast furnaces, forges, and
rolling mills in the Cleveland, Yorkshire,
Lancashire, Staffordshire, and Welsh dis
tricts, bear melancholy testimony to the
apparent decay of these staple branches. 1t
is estimated that in consequence of the
unprecedented stagnation in the principal
trades of Sheffield alone during the past
four years, the migration of artlzans from
that town has reduced the parliamentary
list of voters by 1900"

THE CONDUCT OF LIFE.

Be it gooc that we do let us do IL.
Givir soul and our strength to the deeo 4.
Let us pierce the hard rock, and pass through II
And compass the thing that wo need
Does Fate rs q dark cloud. hang hang oVer'
And cover our heads from the ngntl
Does hate mock the heart Of the lover'
Must wrong be the victor OF r1gatf
Yet In Fate there 10 freedom for each one
To mako or to mar, as he uul
And the bolts Of iil.foItune that reaon one
May main, but tney never snAil khi'
Ever onward and upward pursuing
The aim that IL thine for the day.
Adding strength to thy strength by thy doing,
Thou shalt gain It, nor faint by the way.
And though thou art busted with small things,
Though M eDiAl thy labor may be,
Do thy utmost in that and in all things,
Thou IT'LL shalt bs noble and free
Dost thou love let 1t be with full measure,
Nor min gle with ooldness or hate
or others the joy Of thy pleasure.
Tho passion that crowns thy estate.
Be to every man just; and to woman
Be gentle and tender, and true;
For thine own do Thy best but for NO MAE
De less than brother should do.
So living thy days fnll to number,
In peace thou shalt pass to The grave;
Thou shalt lie down and rect thee, and slumber
Beloved by the good and the brave.
