The report Of the American iron and steel
association for 1877 shows that no manufac-
turing business has suffered greater depression
than the important industries OF which it treats
Only 21O, or less than half Of the blast furnaces
OF the country were in operation at the close of
the year, in spite of the increasing demand for
Bessemer steel rails. The impOssibility OF OBJ
tanning paying prices for their products, by
reason OF the slight demand. was the cause of
the numerous failures and suspensions Manu-
facturers who have merely suspended opera
lions have OF course done as well as those who
have kept their furnaces at fun blast without
making any profit; and when the trade reviveS
they will again enter the field. Though the
report gives an unfavOrable showing for the
present, it is hopeful for the future. Importa-
ton OF iron and steel has stopped. In the item
of steel rails, 12 tons have come from abroad in
1S,I, against 400 456 tons in 1873. The demand
for iron and steel has been greater in the last
year than in 1876, and the association is encOur-
aged to think that with the revival of business
the demand for iron in this country and in
Europe will give active employment to all the
furnaces OF the country, ami that our facilities
for its mining, manufacture and transportation
viii make us the great iron-prodlcing country
of the world.

The recent finding If an indictment agains
the Re-. Mr.. Hayden in the Stannard MUIR
der case will no doubt bring to pass one of
the most curious trial, that has ever attracted
public interest. When the murdered woman
was discovered she bore all the marks of having
met violent death. In the examination which
ended in the acquittal Of Mr.. Hayden, who had
been suspected Of the crime, he incidentally
mentioned that On the day Of the murder he
mad bought arsenic TO poison rats, and that he
had placed the package unbroken ON a beam in
the barn. AS the girl seemed to have been
killed by violence and not by poison, no atten-
ton was paid to this circumstance, and the
prisoner was set free. But enormous quantities
OF arsenic have since been discovered i'm the
stomach Of the dead girl, and Mr.. Hayden's re-
arrest has been followed by his Indictment The
whole trial will turn ON the broken OF unbroken
condition OF that package OF arsenic.

In NIew of the failure of cipher dispatches to

one device. Epstles were sent in the stomachs

subject OF melting to revolt against the Persian

head OF one of his servants, impressed his secret
message on smooth, bald spot, and when the
hair had grown again sent him off TO Greece A
