THE "American Exporter" says the
United Consul at Glasgow writes that
there is growing demand in Scotland for
American machine made wooden ware of
all kinds, such as tubs, brooms, furniture,
etc. In these, and also i'm doors. holdings
and castings, our manufactures could Sc
cure monopoly in the Scotch market, if
they were rs enterprislng in extending
their trade there as at home. There is a
ready and increasing sale for agricultural
tools and hardware, especially locks and
hinges. Canned fruits are also in demand.
lmportations of American butter and
cheese have fallen off by reason of the ex-
portatiOn of inferior articles from the
United States. If Of q superior quality
they will always have an assured demand.
The importation Of fresh meats has be-
come so permanent feature OF the Glas-
gov commerce as to seriously affect the
relations OF the landlord and tenant in the
stockfarm districts OF Scotland. The con-
sui thinks the United States tariff especial
ly on raw material entering into Ameri-
can manufacturers. is the only check to
the almost limitless Increase OF American
commerce under the active enterprise of
business men on both sides. Nations pur-
chase where they sell. and there is danger
that Great Britain, in seekingunrestricted
markets tor her own products, will final y
develop in other quarters oi the globe,
ample sources of grain supply, and event
ually cease to depend upon the United
States for BreadStufls. 1t is suggestive
tact thar during the first nine months of
1877, the United Kingdom received al
most as large d supply Of wheat from
British India alone aS from the United
States east from the Rocky Mountains,
al d at time when famine prevailed over
large part Of India.

LABOR IN FRANCE.

The Consul at Nice reports that the
common labor Of his district on roads,
buildings. ETC., is monopolized by the
industrious and frugal Piedmontese,
who earn from 30 to 80 cents day.
Agricultural laborers are few in
number, and earn from Al to 81 cents
day. The small farms are mostly
titled by the peasants. who own them
or work them on shares. Mechanical
labor is comparatively high. Plum
bers. coopers, and upholsterers get
from $l.20 to $S1.56 day, carpenters
and smiths from SO to % cents;
journeyman tailors as high as ST. SO;
compositors, shoemakers, and masons
from so cents to 81 per day. The
cost of living to the ordinary laborer
is from 30 to 38 cents daily. His
food is Indian meal, bread, vegetables
and wine. Meat is seldom eaten.
Meal costs 3 cents pound, and wine
9 cents bottle. Wages have not
materially varied for skilled artisans
in the last five years. The export
trade Of Nice is exclusively confined
to oils, perfumery, fruit, and flowers,
and is in prosperous state, increasing
rather than diminishing.

THE RAILROAD LAND GRANTS

The decision of Secretary Schurz
in the Pacific Railroad land grant case
was extensively debated and CON-
mented upon in the office of the Com
missioner of the Land Office yesterday.
Commissioner Williamson said: Il
cannot estimate the amount of land
that will be thrown open to home
stead settlements under the Secre-
tary's decision. There are hundreds
of thousands of acres, l am sure.
But there is not one acre in forty of
the lands which have not already
been disposed of by the companies
that is worth anything for agricultu-
raj purposes. Thousands of acres
granted the companies have not even
been surveyed. There is larger
area of worthless land now owned by
the companies than all the lands we
have patented to them since the
grants We're made. On the line of
the Union Pacific road as far us the
Black Hills the land grants have been
surveyed. From the Black Hills
west to the California line very little
surveying has been done. The Kan.
sas Pacific land grants have been sur
veyed. There is considerable good
land for agricultural purposes re-
naming unsold on the line of the
Kansas Pacific. There are also some
farming lands in the Union Pacific
grants which may be preempted. The
climate is preferable and the soil bet
ter adapted to wheat raising in Kan
sas than farther north. / believe that
the advantages accruing to settlers
| under the Secretary's decision will be
far less important than is generally
expected. The area thrown open to
presumption is large, but the quantity
of good land upon it remaining unsold
is comparatively SMALL

THE NEW SPANISH PROCESS FOR
SlLVERANO COPPER.

The new process for the chloriniza-
ton of silver and copper ores, which
dlspences with preliminary roasting,
seems to be better fitted for laboratory
determinations than for work on the
large scale required in mining
operations. 1t consists in treating
the pulveriZed ore with a solution of
common salt, to which are added
nitric acid and manganese ore, and the
determination and lixiviation are
effected in fitering casks, and occupy
from II to "a hours.
In the process commonly in use with
us the oxidation of the sulphur
arsenic. etc., is effected by fire, which
IS certainly much more economical
than nitric acid, and the roasted ore
lis chlorinated and lixiviated in larger
quantities and in less time; while by
Istlll another process the finely
powdered ore Is made to fall, with a
sufficient supply of air, through an
upright shaft furnace. heated
sufficiently for the ignition Of the
sulphur (and moderate percentage
OF sulphur maintains the heat and
combustion without further supply
OF fueD, into 4 hot bath of salt and
water, while the decomposition of
OF the salt is effected and the chlorine
liberated to attack the silver and
copper by wetting down the sulphur
fumes on their way up the stack and
returning them to the bath. The
method of recovering the metals is
alike in each instance. The Spanish
process is apparently but u modilica-
ton of, not an improvement on these
which we have mentioned, and we
think it will be difficult, if not impos.
sible, to evolve Il chlorinating process
better adapted to the requirements
than these, either in theory or in
practice

COLONEL INcRsOL LOVE.

l tell you tonight, there is more
love in the homes of the poor, than
in the palaces of the rich. The
meanest hut, with love in it. is "a
palace fit for the gods, and place
without love, is a den only fit for wild
beasts. That is my doctrine. You
cannot be so poor that you cannot
help somebody. Good-nature is the
cheapest commodity in the world:
and love is the only thing that will
pay ten per cent. to the borrower and
lender both. Do not tell me that you
have got to be rich. We have a false
standard of greatness in the United
States. We think, here, that if a
man is to be great that he must be
notorious; that he must be wealthy,
or that his name must be upon the
putrid lips of Rumor. 1t is all mis-
take. 1t is not necessary to be rich.
or to be great. or to be powerful. TO
be happy. The happy man is the sue
cessful man. Happiness is the legal
tender of the soul. Joy is wealth.
1t is not necessary to be great to be
happy; it is not necessary to be rich
to be Just and generous, and to have
a heart filed with divine affection.
No matter whether YOU are rich or
poor, treat your wife as though she
were splendid flower-and she win
fill your life with perfume and Joy.
And do you know. it is splendid
thing for me to think that the woman
you really love will never grow old
to you! Through the wrinkles of
time. through the mark of years. if
you really love her. you will always
see the face you loved and won. And
. woman who really loves man.

the new conditions must naturally

OUR DEBTS AND OUR EXPENSES.

It is estimated that our population
is now 45,OOO,OOO. And the debt we
owe is at least $4,000, 900, 900, Ma
tional, State, and corporate, leaving
out the vast amount of individual in
debtedness, which is probable as
much more. How can we pay it? Or
how can we even pay the interest,
which probably average per cent.

Taking the average expenses of our
population at only 800 per year, to
feed, cluthe, and shelter them even
in comfortable style, the aggregate
expenditures Of the country foot up
ST 500, 1000, 900. or more4 than twice
the total of our national debt. We
have not more than $500.0O0,O00 of
currency in circulation at the outside

cial, manufacturing, agricultural and
other exchanges, and yet in the face
of these facts, we are told that there
is plenty of money, while the country
is drifting to ruin, and total loss of
confidence is daily growing more and
more apparent. The great basis of
commercial and other prosperity is
that soul of credit-confdence. How
can the man of even moderate intel.
lect believe in any success in bust
ness when he sees that the total
money of the country would not be
sufficient if called for on the same
day, to pay off the interest on the
bonded debts of the country! How
can he trust his little capital, which
he may have saved by years of toll in
any enterprise, when he knows that
if all the taxes were to be called for
on the same day there would not be
enough money in all the banks to pay
them! The statesmen drink cham

COST OF SILVER ANAL CAMATlON

From several of the prominent
Nevada silver mines we learn that

ordinary silver ore upon the amalra.

from 90 to 50 cents, and that from
to IA pound of quicksilver per ton

IMPROVED RAIL WAY SPEED.

The regular time tables Of the cen.
trail OF New Jersey and the Pennsyl-
vania railway show that improve
ments of their roadbeds have been
gradually completed, until now they
daily send passenger trains through
from Jersey City, opposite New
York. to Philadelphia, distance 88
and 50 miles, in one hour and fifty
minutes running time, including
stops; being 48 miles per hour aver
age speed. If the same speed could
be maintained between New York
and Washington, the time of transit
would be four hours and thirty lnin-
utes. 1t seems to us that the public
interests require that this should now
be done.

The Taking or the Bastlle.

Henri Tame gives the following vivid
description of the capture of the famous
Paris prison by the French revolutionists
on July 18th, 1903. After the garrison
and its governor had capitulated they
were killed Dy the Infatuated populace
for firing upon them:
At the bastile from ten o'clock in the
morning to five in the evening, men fire
at walls forty feet in height, thirty feet
thick, and it is only by chance that they
hit one of the inmates. At the first
demand the governor has his guns drawn
back from their embrasures, he makes
the garrison swear that they will not
fire if not attacked, invites the first
deputation to breakfast, permits the
messenger from the Hotel de Vile to 90
over the whole fortress, bears several
discharges without replying, lets the
first bridge be carried without firing a
shot. If he do finally fire it is at tho
last extremity, in defense of the second
bridge. and after having warned his
assailants that he was about to do So
AS for the assailants, they are maddened
by the novel sensation of attack and re-
sistance, by the smell of powder and the
excitement of fight: all they can do is 20
dash themselves against the solid mass
of stone, and their expedients are on q
level with their tactics. A brewer takes
1t into his head to set fire to this block of
masonry by pumping on it mixture OF
PHOSPHORUS and Oil Of turpentine. A
young carpenter, who has archaeological
notions, proposes to construct catapult.
Some believe themselves to have got
possession of the governors daughter and
are about to burn her by way of obliging
her father to yield. Others set fire to an
outstanding building full of straw, and
thus obstrdct their own way. THE bas-
tile was not taken bv main force" said
the brave Ellie, one of the assailants: sit

that no one should be injured. The
garrison, only two we'll secured, had no
longer the heart to fire in safety on liv
ing bodies, and on the other hand it was,
disconnected by the sight of the immense
crowd.
Only eight or nine hundred men were
attacking it. But the Place de la Bastile
and all the surrounding streets were
throunged with the curious who came to
look on at the spectacle; among them,
says an eyewitness, "a number of we'll
dressed and fashit nable women who had
left their carriages at little distance"
From the top of their parapets, it seemed
to the garrison as though the whole of
Paris was marching against them. Thus
1t is they themselves who let down the
drawbridge and introduced the enemy.
All alike have lost their head, besieged
as we'll as besiegers, but the last most
