Can't. GunsoD, of the ship Patterdale,
relates thrilling story of the escape OF
one of his ships boys from the NAV OF q
shark. The ship was in the tropics, with
wind enough to keep the canvas from
tapping, and one Of the apprentices was
over the weather side, cleaning OH. Inc
CAPTAIN, standing on the poop deck,
noticed that the boy was careless, ana
warned him to look out for himself ana
not tumble overheard. The ship was GO
ING about three knots an hour, and the
sss almost as calm as mill-pond. The
lad, in moment of carelessness, lost his
balance and fell from the platform slung
over the side. The captain saw the ac-
cident and threw him ladder
which the boy grssped and clamoered
I'D on the rounds as the ship lett him
astern. No sooner had the boy settled
himself on the ladder, thsn brace OF
large blue sharks ranged up alongside,
and actually reared their heads out oil
the water in their eagerness to taste the
voung sailor. The boy screamed iusllly
and grew half frantic from terror. The
ship was hove to and the boat lowered.
Still the boy hung on the ladder, trying
to keep his legs free from the swapping
of the vicious sharks, which seemed &C.
tually to Jump out of the water to get at
him. Alter some twenty-five minutes OF
horrible suspense boat was Lowered
and he got into 1t. As soon as the boy
found himself safe he tainted. 1t was q

A Card for Rational Renders.

Irrational people always reject good ad-
vice, and in nothing is their folly more
frequently conspicuous than in ignoring
precautions necessary for the retention OF
health. Forecast, on the other hand, is n
notable characteristic of the rational, and
1t is the exercise OF this quality which we
would suggest to them. Protect the sys-
tenn against diseases which fasten upon
the debilitated, the nervous and the
dyspeptlc, by bracing the physique, regu-
latlng the stomach, bowels and liver, and
banishing dependency with the purest
and most efficient OF botanic invigorants,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. That these
effects follow its use, and that 1t prevents
as well as annihilates intermittent and
remittsnt feveis, are facts established by
,nd,sputable evidence. To enjoy the twin
blessings OF "a sound mind and sound
body in all their plentitude, try course
of this sterling medicine.

ton of crown cases reserved, when only
criminal causes are heard The prisoner
who had been a police constable, was
convicted of receiving stolen money and
goods which he knew had been stolen
from the prosecutor, an innkeoper at
Burslem. The theft was alleged to have
been committed by the innkecper's wife.
She had undoubtedly left her husbands
house secretly, without his consent, car.
rying away with her about $7OO OF
his money, his gold watch and other
articles, which she transferred to the
prison er. But his counsel contended
that there could be no felOnious receiver
of stolen goods, without there first being
u thief, and that the conviction was wreng
because married woman could not IN
law steal the goods of her husband. This
court so held, and quashed the conviction,
saving that although the goods were
taken by the wife, they were not stolen {;
that husband and wife were one, and SIT
would be violation of law of England to
hold that wife could steal her husband

ton that Il is strange he should insist on
such pledges id view of the fac: that since
carpet. bsgism has been extineuished IN
Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina, Ala
bams. Texas and Arkansas, there has
been no oppression. The very fact that
HAYES demands these pledges suggests q
falsehood against the Southern people.
1t is a waving of the bloody shirt q
rendition of the old SANDER that the
Southern people are disloysl. In all
the Southern States under Democratic
ruie the colored population are nap
pier. more contented and prosperous
than they are IN Louisiana, ruled BY
Radicals, and which rule Hayes is so re-
luctant to relinquish. This talk about
pledges is q repetition of the stale SLAM
ders of the late canvass. The Democrats
of Louisiana and South Carolina, in their
platforms, have gwen all the pledges
which Hayes can possibly demand. Inc
conduct of the Southern States hoefateo
from Radical rule shows that nc
pledges are necessary TO protect the
negro in his rights, and Southern
men in playing the part of the strolling
theatrical company before Hayes, are
enac,ing a contemplate farce. The
President will fnd that the effort te
make his Administration respectable
without mourning the enmity OF the
Radicals will be a failure. While he !:
demanding pledges OF Hampton and
Nichols, thereby intimating that the
people who elected them are not to be
trusted, the people are demanding that
instead of requiring pledges of Others hi
should stand by his own pledge to re-
move the troops and give home rule u

IRON AT THE SOUTH.

Since the war there has been an ex-
trsordlnary development of iron produc-
ton and cotton manufacturers at the
South; extraordinary we should say 10
thst section, and at time OF profound
business depression. In Alabama Inc
Birmingham iron region is securing much
attention from foreign as well as nome
canitslists. The ores are described
a. unsurpassed in hneness ana
strength; the mines are composed
of two deposits of ore ten and twenty
two feet respectively, and it is being
snelted at the mines at cost of sl2 to
SIS a ton. This iron gained high repu-
tation during the war in its use by the
Confederate ordnance department. we
have n list of fourteen furnaces in this
iron district producing from 10 to 20
tons q day. In East Tennessee there
are twenty-five furnaces, many OF when
have been lately braced up with Eng
lish capital, and are producing 2oo tons
a day. Georgia is also prolific In iron
ora, and we have list of twelve furna-
ces Welding Is to "a tons day. North
and South Carolina IRON fields have
lately become the scene of English and
other investments, and will become sc-
tive fields of industry. Kentucky Is re-
markedly prolific in iron ore, and 1t Is
co-extensive with rich coal seam run
ming through greater part Of the State.
They are both being very rapidly de-
welcomed, and the effect is felt III the
manufacturing industries OF Louis
vile. which now consumes between
three and four hundred tons OF pig iron
daily. The Courier-Journat, from which
wa CLEAN the above facts, is enthusiastic
over the future of Louisville as an iron
manufacturing point. This is It's striking
fact:
Southern pig iron costs $l.75 to 81 more
in st. Louis than in Louisville, and 81 on
more in Cincinnati than here, while
choice Alabama and Georgia charcoal
iron sells at Pittsburgh for So to S3:9o
more than is Obtained in this city, which
are circumstances which serve well to
illustrate the growing dependence on
Southern iron.
