BLAST FURNACES.

The prediction that the price OF pig
metal will increase in price shortly must
be believed by many OF the furnace own
ers, judging from the efforts they are
making to increase their production. The
American Manufacturer, published at
Pittsburgh, says that city need no longer
complain of silent blast furnaces, as more
PIG metal is now being made there than
there ever was before. Just how the pig
iron men expect TO increase the price of
their product by go largely increasing
the supply, we don't fully comprehend.
But then we are not posted in all the in.
tricacies of the iron business.

THE WEATHER.

Gen. Tom. HARRIS, the late Pension
Agent in Wheeling, is something Of q
weather prophet, having been g
close observer of the signs Of the
heavens for many years. He says
that an observation of quarter Of
century teaches him that the weather
for the three months succeeding the
crossing of the equinoxisl line by the
sun is always much like the weather
during the three days nearest the time
of crossing. This spring the sun crossed
the line on the Goth inst. The day pre-
coding the Goth was warm, bright and
dry, the 10th was cool and cloudy, the
succeeding day was rainy and blustery.
We had a variety Of weather, these three
days, sufficient to stock a quarter OF a
yosr,

AIOSS OF SOUL.

i
becomes so devoid of humanity and loses
the sense Of right which was implanted
within him by Con, SO completely, that |
it would be an injustice to the lower
orders of the animal kingdom to call him
a brute. Brutes act only as their instinct
leads them, whi;e man when in the con-
dition we speak of, acts in direct viola
tion of the teachings of his reason and
knows be is doing wrong all the time.
Therefore we say that it is unjust to
compare the man to brute, but we ad-
nit that we know of nothing that has
life and being, 10 which he can be
hkened. The cold, devilish, pre-.
meditsted murder at Burton by
john WALLACE, or the equally sbomln-
Bile crime with which JOHN NJ, DAY, OF
Washington county, Pa, is charged
will serve as examples OF
the truth of our premises
In the latter case we have as yet no de-
tails but in the former, the sickening
story reaches US with comparative COM
pleteness, snd can therefore be discussed
at greater length. Man is essentially the
creature of lis passions, and is swayed
for good or evil by their irresistible
power. II John WALLACE had murder
ed his helpless victims in sudden ut OF
anger; if they had wronged him deeply,
and had aroused the incarnate devil OF
revenge within him; if they had been
the objects of his unholy desires, and he,
after gratifying them, had taken their
lives 10 conceal his first foul crime by
still more damnsble one, or if an inordi-
nate greed for gain, had tempted him to
take this means of obtaining money,
then the murder would rank with many
others. WALLACEs confession, which is
evidently only partly true, deprives him
of any such excuses as we have spoken
of, for he says that he killed Mrs. WAL
LACE because she had talked about him,
which the evidence shows to be very i'm
probable.
1t is singular that eight out of every
ten murders, are those of women. 1t
shows that in most cases, cowardice is
allied TO murderous desire for blood.
How any man-o, rather any living
semblance of man kind-can deliberately
butcher weak, helpless woman, whose
very helplessness is her strongest de-
Tense, seems incomprehensible. There
are, however, many such criminals who
are devoid OF every attribute of human
ity, save physical strength and low cum
nlngness which causes them to enceavor
to hide their guilt.
The intrequency of hanging murder.
ers in this State and in the adjoining
ones, places a premium upon the COM
n ittal OF such deeds. The combinations
of sentences of death, and the trifllng
penalties imposed upon guilty persons
by the tribunals of the law, have taken
away the terror of detection from those
who butcher human beings and makes
the crime rank below an ordinary burg
larry. Make the death penalty follow
with certainty where the guilt of
the prisoner Is clearly established
and the result will be beneficial. 1t was
a common remark among the citizens OF
this place, when the intelligence OF the
Littloton tragedy arrived, THAT fellow
will never be hung unless he Ia lynched.'
THIS is q disgraceful commentary on the
methods Of enforcing justice IN the State
and we hope it will not prove to be cor

The american Manufacturer reports a
better feeling among manufacturers OF
nails, and states that some of them report
an increased business and prospects of a
very large trade before long. The de.
mand, however, it acknowledges is not as
large rs it usually is at this season of the
year. Prices are firmly maintained at
the associations rates, $3.50 per key a.
