SrATIsTIcs.-Twenty-three States and
one Territory (Utah) made pig iron in
1876, Pennsylvania alone turning out
nearly one-half Of the whole product
Thus, out Of 2,093, ,236 tons total product
Pennsylvania produced 1909, ,613 tons, or
slightly more than in 1875, aud consider
ably more in per centage of the whole pro
duct, Ohio came next to PENNSYLVANIA.
Pennsylvania also produced forty per ct.

all the anthracite, and more than forty Der

preme Council, many weighty debates and
DEGREES have already Through the pipe
bearers been diyulged. Consequently
the tschibuktschi is, next to the servant
of the harem, the most valuable reporter
who journalists and ambassadorial drago-
mans can find How often have / seen
proud Leyantine, who, in his contempt
for the rest Of the world, seemed as if he
would strike the stars with his nose, ering-
ing and crawling in the most abject fash
ion before a tschibuktschi, in order to
entice him to communicate some impor-
tant secret, or to furnish n glance into
some valuable document. That this play
ing the part Of the go-between is for the
pipe bearer a lucrative affair needs not
be said What alone, what exclusively,
makes the tschibnktschi the alter ego Of
his master is the boundless love Of smoking
which distinguishes the Turks. Tobacco
and pipes are thus not merely the distinc.
tive tokens Of the different ranks, but Of
the gradations Of particular ranks. A
Musehir (marshal) would think it alto
gether unsuitable to smoke with a pipe
shorter than two ellis, while the handi-
craftsman, or the official of lower order,
would be deemed presumptuouSa pipe-stem
if his transcribed the measure ofthat habit
ual with his class The grandee, in contact
or contrast with the man of low degree,
can parade his pipe to its full length; but
the man Of low degree, modestly thrusting
aside or concealing the instrument, must
not show more Of it than the mouthpieco
which he holds in his hand. The pascha
can, like the chimney of a steamer, throw
forth clouds Of smoke, but the subordinate
must only allow small circles Of smoke,
light as zephyrs, to flow from his lips, and
he must so in his humility contrive it that
the smoke does not 90 in front of him,
but turns backwards. In the pres.
ence Of a grandee, not to smoke is regard
ed us a testimony Of respect. This sign
of respect a son is likewise expected to
show towards father; and well-trained
and well-mannered son is he regarded who
spite of the repeated request of his father,
refuses to smoke.-Cope's ToJacco Plant.

they went up, and the two men were almost
buried under a shower Of fish. The Doe
tor declares that thirty bushels or more

During the Seminole war, soldiers sta
toned at Danlawton spent much time in
bass fishing. They got bait from large
pelican roost on the Halifax river. That
roost and the one have described are de-
serted, and the only roost remaining be-
tween st. Augustine and New River Inlet
is opposite the mouth Of the st. Lucie.
The poor birds have been wantonly massa-
cred, and their bodies left TO rot. In a
few years all the colonies will be wiped
out. | am told that one man killed boat
load of Aedglings and carried them fifty
miles, using them to manure an orange
grove. Unfeeling scamps tic live fish to
boards, and sink them an inch or two be-
meath the surface of the water. The peli-
can is thus decoyed From the sky and its
brain dashed out by the plunge.
bespeak mercy for this interesting
biped. He is honest, industrious, and
perseyering. A more harmless bird never
put wing to air. A patient and faithful
fisherman, he deserves the sympathy Of all
brother fishermen. And no true hunter
will wantonly slay any Of Gods creatures.

Europe is now taking a surprising guam
tity of American fruit. The purchases
have amounted to over s2,500,000 worth
since last June, compared with 5000 90 o
IN the same period the year before. Dried
apples figure largely in this movement.
This country has exported over 10000
600 pounds since last June, as compared
with $4,000 pounds the previous year.
This new addition TO the trade Of the
United States is due to invention, which
has occupied itself Of late with improved
methods for drying, preserving and for
transporting fruit. The greatest progress
has been made in the way Of DRYERS.
Within year some notable inventions ia
this line have been perfected which are !
great acquisition to the resources of the
country. The fruit dryer bids fair here.

A Ludiorous Mistake.

A correspondent Of the Boston Journal
relates the following The little suites Of
rooms at the National Hotel open upon
little halls, uniform in appearance, connec-
ted by long corridors, and are all furnish
ed alike. One night Senator Mangum Of
North Carolina, then President pro tenn
pore Of the Senate, dignifed gentleman
Of the old school, had just returned from
party, when Governor Upham, a Senator
from Vermont, came in without any eere-
mony and took a seat. The two chatted
away on politics, the weather, the social
amusements, &C., until the clock on the
mantel shelf struck one. HReally, Gov.
Upham, said Mangum, II am always
pleased to see you, but really believe it
is getting very late" 81 have thought so
for some time, replied Upham, but he
made no movement. Presently the half
hour sounded, and Mangum remarked -
81 thought, Gov Upham, that you had
decided to 60 to bed, sir?" $50 had,
Mr.. President" answered the Vermonter,
yet he did not bulge. Mangum stared
at him in amazement, and at last plainly
said: "But why don't you go to your
room, Gov. Upham? 1t will soon be 2
o'clock T. "My room, Mr.. President
why, this is my room, and l have been
waiting for you to go away for two hours
past" Mangum sprang to his feet, looked
into the sleeping room adjacent, and found
that he was in Upham's room instead of
his own.

They were out walking, enjoying the
cool and refreshing air The bright moon
cast its rays over the lady, giving her an
almost angelic appearance, and impaired
to her flowing curis a still more golden
hue. One Of her soft white hands rested
in his, and ever and anon she met his ar

denly change came over her features !;
her full red lips trembled as if with sup

There are beautiful songs that we never sing.

There are treasures gnaried with Jealous care
And kept as sacred token.

With icarl that have rainod above them.

That taught US how to love them.
There are sighs that come in our Joyous hour,
To chaslon our dreams of gladneN,
And team that spring N our aching eyes.
In hours of thoughtless sadness.
For the bllthest birds that sing Ia spring

And lips that We kissed in fundcst love

And lips that quiycr Ia silent grief.

TOLEDO, O., October lot is now
conceded on all sides that the Nationals
have elected their entire ticket in Lucas
county by majorities ranging from three
to eight hundred. In the city their ma
jority is upwards of one thousand. Stur-
geon and kellogg, the newly elected
representatives, have hitherto acted with
the Republicans. The result of the SEN
atorial ticket is still in some doubt, but
the indications point to the election of
both Democratic candidates. The coun-
ty will give Johnston, National for
governor, from eight hundred to one
thousand majority. The result is a sur.
prise to all parties, and to none more
than to the Nationals themselves.
COLUMBUS. October 10. = There is
scarcely any excitement to learn the

Both committees concede that Bishops
majority will be between fifteen and

committee claim that the Democrats will
