PROPOSED RIVER CONVENTION

A river Improvement convention is
to be held at Quincy, ILL.,, on the 10Th
inst. A hearty cooperation of all who
would assist in improving the great
natural arteries Of commerce is asked.
In circular explaining the import
ance of the proposed convention and
asking that all ports be represented,
the following is of public interest:
The area of these great valleys ag-
gregate two millions of square miles
of the most productive land in the
world. The annual produce of this
land at the. present time is of the
value of hundreds of millions of dol
lars, and in the future will Increase
incalculably. The navigable length
of said rivers and their tributaries is
at least l4,0OO miles. The shores of
eighteen States and three territories
are laved by their waters. To further
epitomize the production of this area
it may not be out of place to state that
80 per cent. of the cereals-90 per cent.
of the cotton, tobacco and meat of the
United States are produced in these
valleys. The supreme question of the
hour pressing for a satisfactory solu-
tion upon the people of this country is
that of transportation. The tremend
GUS struggle for commercial suprem-
acy now being waged by leading ma.
tions, is question which must be
dealt with promptly and honestly.
Whatever plan will secure permanent
competition and cheaper the cost of
carriage should engage the attention
of congress, more than any other one
question now before them. The pro-
ducers of the great staples of export
in these valleys are dependent upon
transportation lines for the economi-
cal facilities which alone will enable
them to become successful producers.
The hopes of our manufacturing and
agricultural interests depend upon
fostering and improving, by all means
within reach, the water routes of these
great valleys, and being further sup
plemented by deep and permanent
outlets from the river to the gulf,
either by jetties or canals, or both,
will enable barge lines and river
steamers to connect with ocean vessels
of the largest tonnage, and maintain
throughout the year successful com
petition with the great trunk lines
centering on the Atlantic seaboard,
and forever insure cheap transporta-
finn.

DISTRIBUTING IT'S WEALTH

The quarterly interest on the gov
ernment four per cent. loan of $73G,
$500 was due yesterday and holders
of the bonds began to receive the cash
for their coupons at the various sub,
treasures throughout the country.
AS the four per cents are pretty well
distributed from one end of the land
to the other the amount to be dis
bursed will be well scattered. The
bonds ex-coupons are ROW selling in
the East at at'101s@1O1l.

ADVANCE IN IRON.

An important convention of iron
manufacturers, representing nearly all
OF the cities west of the Alleghenies,
was held at Pittsburg a few days since,
and general advance in card rates
from q to Be per pound, was decided
on, the new rates to go into effect last
Monday. This action carries with it
an increase in the puddlers' wages
from S4.O6 to $4.48 per day, and an
increase in the wages of helpers from
$219 to $40 per day. The total in
crease in wages will be from $1,000 to
$1,000 per day, while the total increase
in the receipts of Pittsburg manufac
turers will be from $4,000 to $4,000
per day.

Cabinet Changes.

WASHINGTON, September 3d.
There is good foundation for the state
ment that it is being contemplated by
the President and Secretary Evarts
that the latter shall be appointed to
the British mission in December, and
that ex-senator Fenton is to become
Secretary Eyarts' successor in the
state department. Not long since ex-
Senator Fenton was telling the Presi-
dent that he intended spending the
winter in California, when Mr.. Hayes
remarked that he had better not 90
West as he would be wanted in Wash
ington this winter. When Senator
Fenton was questioned as to whether
the Presidents object in so saying was
to put him in the cabinet he declined
to make any response. At all events
he has given up his California trip.

HE HUNG SEVEN MEN IN ALL
Agates.

AT the present day when we find so
many beautiful specimens of agates,
it may be interesting to know that
all those stones are cut and polished
at the little village OF Oberstein,
Germany, before they are scattered
all over the earth. Near this village
is a ledge of trap-rock, which was
formerly quarried for the agates, but
these quarries at the present time are
all deserted and the agates are i'm
ported yearly, principally from Bra
zil those from the latter locality are
valued the most, because they are
more porous and consequently receive
the colOring matter more readily. 1t
may not be known generally that all
the brilliant tints and shades in agates
are the product of artificial coloring.

A PICTURE AxDA PARABLE.

An old-time ingle, warm and wide,
Sbaming our modern manners,
Where lakewood monarchs, side by side
Fling up their rival banners,
And send their cleaning cohorts fast
The flying shadows after,
Till warmth and comfort glow at last
From shining floor to rafter
Now glittering in the silver store
Of heirlooms with a story,
Now weaving sanity halos for
The elders crown Of glory:
But tenderest the freight glows,
And merTiest is glancing
Upon boy with cheek of rose,
In baby frolic dancing
About a loving fathers knee,
Whose brow of care unbendlng
To join in all the baby glee
Is fathers fondness lendlngi
While with her loving smile for al,
The gentle household mother
Moves 1ueenIy through her kingdom small,
Ncr longs for any other,
But muses., in happy way,
Whether on earth there may be
Another such papa to play
BO-peep with such a baby.
Full we'll the picture l recall
NY childish fancy greeted,
And which the scene that most Of all
l liked TO have repeated:
How, when his fathers hiding-place
The boy could not discover,
a while be stood with puzzled face
Thinking the matter over,
Then stopped with sudden roguery
And airs of mock confding,
And peeped beneath chip TO see
If there papa was hiding;
And how the trick brought papa out
With sudden peal of laughter,
And joyous was the baby's about,
And wild the frolic after.
And still my fancy fingers in
The pretty, childish story,
And thinks deeper sense to win,
AS from an allegory;
For what do we with childish wit
More witless children rather
Seeking beneath our chips and bits
Of truth To find the Father
. Lo here, 10 there - when every where
His walls of home do hold us,
The warmth and love light of bis care
By day and night Unfold US?
And when we lay US down to sleep,
And scenes Of earth forsake US,
Ills presence still our souls shall keep.
His morning kiss shall wake US.
Does not the Fathers pity yesrn
To comfort them that fear HIM,
Until within His arms they learn
That they are always near Him?

azine) for February.
