Iron In Naval Construction.

The Advantages possessed by iron,
IS compared with wood, in the con-
struction of vessels, begin with the
fact of its being more readily procured,
and OF any specified quality, for work
of any size or kind. Il may be ex-
anlined in the structure with eonyen-
fence, and with confidence that its con-
dItion may be accurately sscertained /;
It may be given any fern that may be
desired, and without loss OF strength !;
it may be united firmly by welding or
rveting, and the strength of the JOINT
may be known with an approximation
tn correctness; it makes lighter as
well as vastly stronger hull, is caps-
bic of being put into place with any
needed rapidity, and the vessel, once
constructed, has far more durability
than a wooden ship.
Then, too, repairs are less frequently
required and can be more thoroughly
made in the case of an iron than a
wooden vessel. The shaking of the
screw, or the shock of q projectile, Is
not likely TO start seams or to produce
other than local injury, ami even If the
iron vessel is driven on shore, it Is less
certain to go to pieces than the wooden
one. The convenience, also, with
which efficient water-hght compsrt-
ments may be fitted is another most
peculiar and valuable advantage in iron
ship building; and with these must be
named extraordinary freedom from
danger of loss by fire, convenience of
cleaning when foul, and almost un-
Limited endurance of the greater por.
ton of the structure.
Among the disadvantages attending
the use of iron in this way, mention
may be made of the rapid fouling
Of the hull, excepting under peculiar
ly favorable circumstances, the cost OF
docking and frequent repsisting, and,
more important than all, the danger
Of the loss of such ships 10y changed
course, produced by the variation OF
the compass from local attraction.
They are also peculiarly liable to in
juries of kinds which arc very difficult
to repair promptly-such as when in
collision with other vessels, or when
struck by shot, etc.

The Wa b ngton coz espondent Of
the New York Graphie outlines II new
and curious theory preached in Wash
ington. lie says:
A combination to depreciate silver
has been prj cted by the great Jew
bankers of the world. These people
nave studied the whole question of cur
reucY in very pracIIcai way, and un
ierstan1 it not only much better thar
he community at large, but better alsc
han the Christians associated with
hem in business. They realize tina,
he decentralization of silver means an
era of low prices. Iu other words, til,
artificial enhancement of the price OF
gold reduces the measure OF prices ali
'ver the world. BY their direct action
"p0n the governments Of the 5 andina
Wan states, Germany. and the Unite q
States, these great bankers succeeded
n partially demonetz ng silver. The
low price which has resulted, and the
destruction to the trade of the world +,
hey have taken advantage of in til,
purchase of all manner of staple prop
erty. When they have secured enough
they will again become converts to the
desirability of using silver, which WI;
be remonetized all over the world +,
whereupon prices will rise, and thesr
gigantic operators expect TO sell out at
extravagsntly high prices. These itch
Jewish capitalists find it necessary to
influence only few people in each ad-
ministration. AS bankers they have
direct access to secretaries and treasu-
ries and finance ministers, and the re
pie who manipulate the press of the
world. Upon various plausible pre-.
tcxts they get laws passed demonetiz
ing silver; which being effected, they
take advantage OF the ruinous fall il
prices which occurs al over the world
From this they know there will be ,
reaction IN favor Of the two metals
and they will pr, fit, by the addition IL
the market value of what they bought
at low figures, and sell out. 1t will b,

Mr.. Ronay de Maly-Sambor, IL .e
Province of TGhernikofI, Russia, u
United suicide recently under sim 4r
circumstances. AS the gentleman
very rich, and had excellent reasons for
remaining in the world, his voluntary
exit was puzzlIng, but was explained
by letter found IN his desk, alongside
of his pistol case. Ten years before he
had engaged to fight a duel, but in
stea ] of going into the field it was de-
cided that one of the two contestants
should kill himself in ten years, unless
his adversary gave him permission to
live. Lots were drawn in order TO de-
eide who should be the victim, aud
MIR. Ronay was the unlucky man. The
time for the suicide was May IL, 1877,
and accordingly on the tenth he received
letter from his cold-blooied antago-
mist demanding the fulfillment of his
word.

THE strike has struck Austin, the
first demonstration ibeing made Mon
day morning about z o'clock by about
fifty negroes. They first visited in q
body gang Of black men at work back
OF the Capitol laying down pipe for the
city water company, compelling the
men to lay down their tools and quit
work. They also made some demon
STATIONS towards breaking up the
tools, but the appearance Of officers
prevented that. The strikers then
sepaI ated in three or four parties, and
it was thought the strike was over !;
but in the course of an hour they re-
assembled down in Mexico, where
they were joined by a few more ne
groes and q number of Mexicsns.
They then visited the brickyards and
notified the men at work to quit, un
less their wages were raised from $1.25
to 81. so q dsy. They also visited the
men at work en- Bshn's building and
Webb & Bros building and notified
them to quit work, which
few did. During the afternoon
the blacks held a meeting Cd
Robertson's Hill, and reports got
current that 400 were present; but af
ter diligent inquiry the reporter Of the
ascertained that scarcely Il
hundred were in attendance. They re-
solved at the meeting that they would
stand out for $50 day, and pledged
themselves to stick together in not al
lowing any colored laborer to work for
lsss than that price. Quite q large
gathering Of them assembled at
night at the crossing of Pecan street,
and the Avenue, where they asserted
freely that they would not allow any
black man to work for less than $3.50
8 day. Some of those who were doing
the most talking were men who have
long been regarded as loafers. while
others were men who belonged to the
more industrious class. AS yet the
strike in Austin is mere farce, but
it can assume more formidable
would be hard to tell.
There is SO little doing in Austin at the
present time, and the people care SO
little about doing that, THAT it really
looks like there is nothing to ss:.I iiike

The SAW Mill SUBJECT "A Mr..
Chauncey Southwick, of East Toledo,
Ohio, writes to q relative in this city,
making general inquiries about Texas
and special inquiries as to the demand
for saw mills and lumber here, and the
price Of lumber, the kind of timber and
the price OF timbered land, distance
from market, etc. To these questions
the STATESMAN answers that the lum-
Der or pine region Of Texas lies ess:

orally speaking, the timber is large

a WczD TO CoMPLAINERs. III, after
the month of August has been past and
the beginning of the business season
reached, there should be any cause for
complaint about hard times in Texas
that cause will spring fIom the people
themselves and not from the country,
or aay failure IN agricultural Industries.
Possessing as we do in Texas the best
stock country in the world, with mil
lions of cattle aXd sheep roaming over
pastures green, which afford them all
they need to eat, and having made the
most bountiful of crops of all kinds,
we say there Can be no cause for
crying hard times, except that that
cause come from the people themselves.
If the people of this State will learn
to carefully count the cost and profit
of everything they do, and have proper
economy in all things, they cannot fail
to accumulate and get along in the
world. They must not only be watch
full of their business affairs, but they
should attend to domestic reforms as
we'll. There is nothing that goes fur
Their towards placing people beyond
want and poverty than economy and a
proper management of domestic af-
fairs. 1t matters not how much man
makes, if there is q continual waste
and leakage about his house or
wsnton extravaganza on the part
Of either himself or the members of
his family, he will find himself unable
to more than ''hold his own" from year
to year, with strong probability of
running behind. 1t is the husbands
duty to make and the wife's duty to
preserve and save, and to see that
nothing goes wrongfully out of house
which has been brought into it by the
exertions of her husband. The day
for large profits and making fortunes by
wild speculations seems to have passed
away, and those who accumulate will
have to do i. by harder knocks and
a slower process, by greater exertions
and cheerful denial, and the women
of the country here, as elsewhere, will
have to link their efforts with those of
their husbands in the common cause OF
acquiring homes, farms and other
property. The man Of no capital or
moderate means cannot support and
educate dependent, wasteful family,
and at the same time improve his con-
dition from year to year. These hints
apply more or less to great many
people in this country, and the sooner
those people give chem proper consid-
Grafton the better off they will be.
Better, far better, for people to live
upon PLAIN diet and keep out of debt
than to feast upon the fat of the land
and owe for it.

In this portion of the State timber
for lumber is scarce, though in places
near streams there Is plenty Of 1t suit
able for fencing and rough buildings.
We also have near Austin immense
cedar brakes, where saw mills are in
demand. The STATESMAN would
also say to Mr. Southwick and
all others interested in getting infor-
nation from Texas, that an abundance
of crops of all kinds have been made
this season. Corn in Texas will aver
age forty bushels to the acre; wheat
twenty bushels; oats sixty bushels;
fruit and vegetables are plentiful, and
the cotton promises heavy yield, and
the prospect for Texas is more cheer
ing than ever before. Austin has two
railroads and San Antonio one, and
these connect with all other Texas and
st. Louis railroads. For further in
formation regarding Texas, Mr.. 8. is
referred to railroad and other maps,
and to the prices current printed In
this paper. 10 regard to the climate,
the weather here is no warmer than in

warm weather and little cold, and the

Judge of the district, while presiding

prisoners counsel, placed II we'll known

his case to the Supreme Court, which
held that the absence Of the district
Judge for time, however short, was
illegal, and that neither the prisoner
nor his counsel could make the subst :
tute of another man legal 10y their con-
