The report so often spread, and 80
often contradioted. has at last come
true. Mr.. Delano has resigned the
editorship of the London Tlmss. Mr.. 3
Delano was beyond dispute and COM
parison the first journalist in the
world, as the Times 10 the leading Jour
nal of the world. IL IL Mr.. Delano
who, II he did not make Il such, kept
II such; and when the history of the 9,
paper comes to be written, IL will have
to be said that Its supremacy and In
finence were never at any period Dur
ing the first century Of It's existence so (
great as during NJ. Delano's e,iitor.
ship. In truth, Mr.. Delano has wIeld-
ed, for thirty years, a greater power
than most kings or ministers who have
been on the stage during that time.
And he really edited 1t. His control
was complete; while his supervision
OF Its leader columns was so vigiIant,
his editorial direction of the paper
so absolute, that II was his lndividual
opinion which went forth every morn
ing. He did not write, but he dictated
what should be written. Mr.. Delano
was really Ill when he went to HON.
bourgh this summer. He came back
80 little the better for HE journey as to
leave him, In his own words, no solid
hope of soon returning TO work again.
After thlrty-seven years hard work, II
Is not, perhaps, 10 be wondered at.
Mr.. Delan0's successor isunderstoOd TO
be Mr.. Chenery, for many years a
leader writer on the Times, but hardly
ever mentioned as likely TO become It's
editor. Mr. Courtney used TO be talk
ed Of, but his career In parliament
stands In the way. or Mr. Chenery
the public knows little or nothing.
His qualifications for editing the jour
nal 10 which he has 90 long contri5ut-
ed, he has, ofcourse, yet to prove.

A GOOD RIDDANCF.

Circuses and hippodromes are fast be-
coming things of the past. Thirty years
ago the announcement that circus was
coming to town excited both old and
young for weeks previous to the event.
The small boy of those days was willing
to do all sorts of chores to earn money
enough to buy circus ticket, Now, the
posting up of flaming posters by the
advance billboard brigade of circus,
excites no more comment than the past
ing up of an ordinary hand-bill. The
rising generation of to-day care more
for a game of base ball than they do for
all the circuses in Christendom. Cir
cuses have not only lost their charm but
they have lost their! patronage as well.
In eye olden time" circuses were far
better than they are now, and this may
account in some degreee for their rapid
decline. There are at present but few
legitimate circuses on the road, and the
visits from these are few and far be-
tween, just as they should be. Annually,
however, some "snide show" styling
itself mamoth circus and hippodrome,
comes along, pitches its tent, and after
q performance or two, its managers si-
lently fold their canvass and steal away
IN the darkness of the night, generally
leaving unpaid bills behind them. A
"snide" show or circus is composed of a
lot of lazy lazzaroni, with few old sec
ond-hand circus wagons, twenty or thir-
ty detected spotted horses, and few
miserable, weak-iooking specimen de-
scendants of wild animals. Along with
"snide" shows travel the meanest scum
of sooiet5-thieves and black-legs of the
worst type. Eater any one of the small
tents surrounding the "main pavilion"
and you will invariably find half doz-
en- or more three card monte players,
plying their games, scooping in the YER
uant fools who are silly enough to wager
their money or watches that they can
pick up the card in question or find the
little joker" These 'snide" circuses
do not depend so much on their ring
attractions as they do on what their
hired banditti can steal from the gull
ible public, outside and inside the tent.

AMERICAN IRON INTERESTS.

The year 1875 marked the lowest de-
preston of American railroad building,
and this fact explains the considerable
increase in iron and steel rails rolled in
this country in 1876, In fact the, total
net tons of rails and other rolled iron
produced in 1876 was nearly equal to the
highest point ever reached-1,92l,00 900
tons, against 100000 ia 1875. $3.50, 900
in 1873 and 1,4S5, 900 in 1871. Nearly
half the production of $4,000 tons OF
rails in 1876 was of Bessemer steel. The
production of steel not Bessemer has ris-
en- pretty steadily from 10000 tons in
1865 to II 900 in 1875, the highest point
ever reached. These figures are much
more cheering than those of the pig-iron
trade, which is competed with by the
immense amount of old rails thrown on
the market. Processes have been per
fected by which nails and many other
hard wares are successfully and cheaply
made from these old rails, reducing the
demand for new iron of course The IRON
and steel rail market is quite active, and
one of the contracts to be had at gus
burg is for 10000 tons to go to Oupa'
Business in general, of course, Is the
dullest of the dull, but great expecta-
tions are entertained of the fall.

Ahead Of the Dukes.

HOW MR.. PIERREP0NT MANAGED
IN GENERAL GRANTS CASE,
Mr.. @. W. SmaIley, Id his last letter
from London to the New York Tribune
says:- lI,.0g = -ri afI 4 as ..,r
81 mentioned in my last the melan-
choly fact that when General Grant dined
with the Prince OF Wales, he was put in
the rear of all the titled people who FORM
ed the solemn procession from the draw
ing-room to the dining-room. The order
was reversed last night; the Gen. yielded
precedence TO nobody but the Prince
himself. There were present no less
than six Ambassadors. There were four
Dukes. There were three Marquises.
There were five Earls. There was the
Lord Chancellor, and there were other
persons whose rank entitled them tech
nicallY to go before General Grant. But
they one and all had to give way. The
Ambassadors as a rule, give way to no
body but the Royal family. Mr.. Pierre
points crowning triumph is that he in
duced them to recognize the ex-President
of the United States as equal TO an ex-
emperor or ex-king. 1t was in his own
house; but 1t is not to be supposed that a
man is master of his own house in such
matters as these. Mr.. Pierrepont would
not have been guilty of the discourtesy
of asking people to dine with him and
treating them with rtdeness. The great
question was, in fact, settled beforehand.
For this once, the great functionares who
pride themselves as being the personal
representatives of their sovereigns recog-
nized the soveignty of the American
| nit har he
distinction of the Individual American
citizen whom they were TO meet. Mr..
| Pierrepont had made his views so clearly
known that they had not, suspect much
choice in The matter, except the option oil
staying away. Diplomatic triumphs more
important to the welfare OF States have
perhaps been achieved, but nothing pre-
cisely like this has been done within the
memory of man. Lord Derby is reported
to have said that Mr.. Pierrepont had done
what he himself could not do. 1t is only
the envious who declare that no sale
would not do
Gas for the Dukes. Marquises, Earls
and other English magnates, they art
! great sticklers for rank and precedence a!
between themselves, but they seem tc
have acquiesced from the beginning
readily enough inMr. Pierrepont's wishe!
with respect to General Grant. Wher
Mr.. Pierrepont let it be known that ht
would allow General Grant to accept ne
invitation where he was not to ranl
everybody else, there remained to the
people who wanted to lionize him only
the choice between having him on Mr.
Pierrepont's terms and not having him a
all. They are a good natured race, thes'
English. They laughed, perhaps, ir
some cases, and shrugged their shoulder:
and wondered that plain American
should set SO much value on the obser
vances peculiar to arisLocratic countries
But they acquiesced and presume non'
of the great men who last night had al
opportunity of taking near view o
General Grant on his way to Dime
made any wry faces over it.

A SCARCE BIRD KILLED.

The Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer has
this renewed illustration of the war of
determination waged against birds in
this county: "We were shown great
curiosity yesterday by Mr.. T. Bryant
one of our river pilots, who has been
spending some months on the South
Florida coast. 1t was scarlet f1amingo
now a very rare bird, but for rnerly
quite plentiful along the Louisiana
coast. 1t is six feet or more tall, and
about FIVE feet from tip to to tip of ex-
tended wings. Its feathers are beau
tiful Scarlet of different shades, the
wing feathers are jet black, and with
its gaudy vi iform, 1t must present quite
a ..soldier-like appearance among the
coast birds. 1t was killed at the pass
Of Sarasota Bay, Florida, with two
others. They are shaped something
like crane, are about eight feet in
length, with neck legs and body about
two feet each and have webbed feet.
They are very shy and graceful bird,
and are seldom seen even by the fre-
quenters of the South Florida coast"

From the Reading Eagle.
WHO ARE CUT DOWN.

All over the country there has been a
large cut down in the salaries of clerks
and laboring men, but official salaries
have not been generally reduced. Rail-
roads have cut down the wages of there
employees fully twenty-five per cent,
while other large corporations and busi-
ness interests have also made reductions.
These reductions were forced upon the
employers because the business would
not pay the old standard of wages, but
still flour, butter, meat and vegetables
have not been correspondingly reduced.
The families of the laboring men have
been made to bleed everywhere, and the
pinching process has been going on for
several years. There are comparatively
few families of laboring men who have
not been compelled to give up some of
their luxuries, and others have been
obliged to do their utmost to get the
means wherewith TO live. But while the
pinching process has been going on with
labor and business of the country, the
pay of office-holters, with few excep-
tions, remains about the same as in war
times. The President of the United
States gets $4,000 year salary against
$25, 900 year before The death of Lin
coin. The pay Of members of Congress
is about the same now as it was i'll the
heighth of the imitation, and the pay Of
the members of the Legislature has not
been reduced. Congress meets every
year, and so do the Legislatures of the
several States at stated periods, but out
side of certain general laws it is ques-
tion of much interest whether the coun-
t,v of lorno ond tho savaral Statas ora not
damaged more than benefited by SO much
Legislation. l. is true, as Jefferson said
''that the country that is best governed is
governed the least" but Instead of ad-
herring to this fundamental maxim the
opposite course of late years has been
pursued until legislation has become 50
mixed that in certain departments it is
almost impossible to tell what the law is.

events are expected there during the
