EmbnrrasSmcntS OF The Vulcan
Iron Works at ~. Louis,

Sr. LOUIS, October ga rumor has
prevailed here for some days OF the posi-.
bic suspension Of the Vulcan Iron Works,
the largest in the city, employing between
200 and 1900 workmcn. The real sit.
u0tion OF affairs came ont at Directors
meeting held to-day. The company has
been losing money heavily in competition
with Eastern iron producers, and has be
come somewhat in debt, It's stockholders
are, however, men OF capital, and it is
proposed TO continue the thing until
times improve or Eastern manufacturers
get tired Of cutting prices in the hope Of
monopolizing the market. The workmen
will probably be retained, all on reduced
wages, and the amount Of production
proportiOnOlly cut down.

Matter collected Tor the year

AT some Of the Episcopal Churches in
England there has been large falling of
in the number Of lady members regularly
attending the communion services. Some
Of the clergy, being much troubled about
1t, began TO investigate the cause, and
found that II was indeed novel one. II
is the Well.known custom in the Episco'
pal Church for all communicates to nd.
vance TO the chancel rail, and there knecl
while partaking Of the bread and wine
The difficulty with the ladies Is that
skirts made according to the present fash
ion are so narrow that the wearcr who
kneeIs can not rise without assistance
Some ClergymGn would attack the fashion
from the pulpit; others would let it alone
for awhile, hoping for a change in style
while others are embarrassed, and know
not what to do about it.

FRIDAY. OCT, 20, Is77,

IT was remarked not long since by Mr..
Gladstone that the distinctive dress Of
the clergy, which fifty years ago had all
but, died out, was revived by what was
known as "lhC Oxford movement" Of the
leaders Of the Tractnrinn party, and 1t is
a curious circumstance that the dress
which twenty-five years ago would have
been deemed the badge Of very extreme

SpurgeOn on Perfection.

He who boasts of being perfect il per-
feet in folly. | have been good deal
up and down the world, and | never
did see either perfect horse or q perfect
man, and | never shall until two Sum
days come together. You cannot get
white flour out of a coal-sack, nor per-
fection out of human nature; he who
looks for il had better look for sugar in
the sea, Thssold saying is, "Liteless,
faultless." OF dead men we should say
nothing but good, but as for the living,
they are all tarrcd, more or less, with
the black brush, and half an eye can see
it. Every head has a soft place in it,
and every heart has its black drop.
Every rose has its prickles, and every
day its night. Even the sun shows spots,
and the skies are darkened with clouds.
Nobody is so wise but he has folly
enough to stock stall at Vanity Fair.
Where | could not see the foOl's-cap
have, nevertheless, heard the bells Jingle.
AS there is no sunshine without some
shadow, so is all human good mixed up
with more or less evil; even poor law
guardians have their little falllngs. and
parish beadles are not wholly of heaven
ly nature. The best wine has its lees.
All men faults are not written on their
foreheads, and it is quite Us well they
are not, or hats would need wide blims
yet, n sure as eggs are eggs. faults OF
some kind nestle in every mans bosom.
There's no telling when mans sin.
may show themselves. for hares pop out
of ditch just when You are not looking
for them. a horse that i weak in the
legs may not stumble for mile on two.
but it's in him, and the rider had better
hold him up well. The tabby eat i not
tapping milk just now, but leave the
dairy door open, and we will see il she
is not as bad Il thief as the kitten.
There's fire in the flint, cool rs il looks !:
wait ill the steel gets knock 1T il. and
YOU will sec, Everybopy can read that
riddle, but il is not everybody that will
remember to keep his gunpowder out

The Loeomstive vs.. suners,ition.

When the Nicholas Railway was built
in lS49, from ST, Petersburg 10 Moscow,
the work was done under contracts with
American engineers, and the cars and
engines We're supplied from Baltimore
by the famous establishment Of the Win
ans Brothers. The Russian priests op-
pose every modern innovation and, OF
course, they were "down" ON the rail-
way. When the road was opened they
determined to stop II, and so they went
in force TO point on the road and set
up n holy picture 10 stop the work of
the devil. The train came slowly along
and the engineer, seeing the picture
standing on the track, thought there
must be man behind il, and so came
to halt. The assembled multitude
raised shout and the priests called out
that the saint was all-powerfll and
would prevail against wickedness. The
officer in charge of the train came out
and took survey ofthe situation. Then
he told the engineer to run back quar-
ter Of a mile and bring the train TO q
halt. The shouting was reaoubled and
the priests were in the most rapturous
delight. But their exultatlon was soon
changed 10 grief as the master of cere-
monies told the engineer, "Put ON all
the steam and go ahead without regard
TO consequences" The engine went
ahead and down fell the holy picture
torn and crushed by the wheels of al
American locomotive. Modern ciyiliza
tion was triumphant and the priests anC
their followers no longer shouted In tri
umph.

An Ancient Village.

Parties in from that region report the
existence fan ancient Indian village,
at Qaragoonah, Utah, distant about two
hundred miles from here. The houses
are now covered with trees and brush,
were arranged in uniform rows and
were about eight by nine feet. They
were all two-story, built of adobe, the
lower one neatly paved and tho upper
one supported by pillars of sand, tone
rock. The only entrance discovered was
a sort Of man-hole in the top, Rude ap-
pliances for grinding corn and other rel
les were found in several of the houses.
There is Il tradition among the Indians
of that region that long years ago the
tribe that inhabited those houses were al
most exterminated In fierce fight with
the Navajocs, that the remainder OF the
tribe fled to the other side of the Color
ado, and there built them habitations
in the mountains where the Navajoes
could not reach them, and now live
there secluded. Our informanant SAYS
the structure and arrangement ofhouses
gives evidence of rude system OF
civilization on the part of the builders
that no longer exists among the aborigi-
mails now living in that section, II Phoebe
