PROF.. READE.

The people of Yorkville have a treat IN
store for them on Tuesday night next, when
Prof. Willoughby Reade will give an enter
tainment in reading and recitations. Our ex-
changes speak in the highest terms OF Prof
Reade's powers The Charlotte Observer, of
Sunday, speaks of his entertainment in that
city on the previous Friday night as follows !:
A greater treat than that given Friday
night by Prof. Willoughby Reade, has never
been offered the public in Charlotte. His
reading, or rather recitation, took place in the
chapel of the Military Institute, and but one
opinion was expressed by the audience-that
of hearty and entire approval. Frequent out
bursts of laughter attested his powers OF elo-
cution and humor, in such pieces as Lit
erary Night Mare" Hunting Mousse" and
a scene from Pickwick Papers, "Courtshlp
Extraordinary" His impersonation of 'Carl,
the Martyr" and his rendition of the ghost
scene in Hamlet, could scarcely have been
surpassed by Booth himself as voice, gesture,
and facial expression constitute him an actor
as well as elocutiOnist.
AS will be seen by reference to ADVERTISE
ment, portion of the proceeds of the enter
tainment will be appropriated for the benefit of
the Yorkville Cemetery Association. Let him
have full house.

The Revival i'm the Iron Trade.

Among the most hopeful signs Of reviving
business in this country is the condition of
the iron-making trade. The maximum pro-
duction of American furnaces was in 1873,
when It was ., SOS ,21S tons, an amount now
ever, which was larger by only few thou
sand tons than in 1872. At the same time we
were importing enormous amounts of iron
from England. The home production fell off
by nearly POO. 900 tons in 1874 it diminished
by 400, 900 tons in 1875; and in 1876 it had
dropped still further to 2,093 29G tons. The
proportionate decrease Of importations wa,
still greater, for whereas we purchased abroad
not less than two million tons of raw and
manufactured iron in 1872 the importa,ions
in 1876 were not more than one-eeventh of
that amount, if SO much. But in 1876 the
lowest point was reached in home production.
In 1877 there was an increase of 22O 900 tons
and in 1873 the increase was 2G0, 900 tons, SO

Ben Hills Record,

Senator Hill in his recent speech came
very near proving that he had always
been white-souled Union man and that
III. Chandler was the guilty original
cause of the recent quarrel between the
sections. The following resolutions, which
were introduced into the Confederate Sen
ate in October, 1862, by the gentleman
from Georgia will now be of general in
terest:
First-That every person pretending to be
a soldier or an officer of the United States
who shall be captured on the soil of the Con-
federate States after the lst dav of January,
1868, shall be presumed to have entered the
territory of the Confederate States with in
tent TO incite instruction and to abet muir
der and unless satisfactory proof be adduced
10 the contrary before the military court be-
fore which the trial shall be had, he shall sut-
fer death. And this section shall continue in
force until the proclamation issued by Abra-
ham Lincoln, dated Washington, September
%, 1862, shall be rescinded
Second-Every white person who shall act
as a commissioned or non-cOmmissioned Off
Ger commanding negroes or mulattocs
against the Confederate States or who shall
arm, organize, train or prepare negroes or
mulattoes for military service, or aid them
in any military enterprise against the Con-
federate States shall. if captured, suffer
death.
Third-Every commissioned or nOu-com-
missioned officer of the enemy who shall in
cite slaves to rebellion, or pretend to xiv,
them freedom under the aforementioned act
of Congress and proclamation, by abduclnl
or causing them 10 be abducted, or inducn.
them to abscond, shall if captured sutie
death.

that in the latter wears the production was
duction of 1874 by only ll2,oo0 tons, and
less than that of the maximum year by only
29l 900 tons
These figures show what the movement has
been. Those who are in a position to know
are free to speak as to the prospects for the
future. Mr. Swank, the secretary of the
Iron and Steel Association, does not hesitate
to express the opinion that the production for
this present year will equal that of either of
the wears 1872 and 1873, and he looks for
ward to an out-turn of three million tons in
1850. The grounds for his confidence are
not difficult to be ascertained. The demand
has grown very greatly Of late and the scale
of prices after a long and steady decline, has
begun to advance again. Notwithstanding a
drop from above fifty dollars ton to about
seventeen or eighteen dollars, iron can be
made at the present time at profit, IN Ia
vorablc locations. The depression has driven
furnace-men from fields where mining and
making are expensive to other parts OF the
country. PENNSYLVANIA made almost but not
quite one-haf of all American pig iron IN
1872. and in 1878 she made - per cent She
took no less than - per cent OF the increase
of last year. On the other hand, Indiana
formerly had eight furnaces. and in 1872 pro-
duced nearly 40, 900 tons; she produced none
in 1878. The furnaces are undergoing dem
clifton. and two are to be removed to Ohio
this year In OHIO both processes have been
going on. On the whole. there was an in
crease of 20. 200 tons last year in the state.
but while the product OF MahOning valley
was stationary and that of the Hanging Rock
region decreased, the amount made in the
Hooking region increased by 10000 tons.
The manufacture of steel has shown still
greater proportionatc increase than that of
iron. Indeed il is in this direction that the
largest development may be expected in the
future. The extraordinary cheapening of
steel by the improved processes of making,
and by the course OF trade. has led to gen
cral substitution of it for iron. The average
price of Bessemer steel rails last year was
So - a ton, against Il maximum price of
s120 80 in 1872 and 1873. The last wear was
ten dollars a ton less than the price of foundry
pig iron in 1873. 1t is claimed for the Hook
ing valley region that owing to its favorable
situation. ton of Bcssemcr pig iron can now
be turned ont at a cost Of only seventeen dol
lar, Il ton. The cost of converting and troll
ing are. of course, additional. But even if
allowance be made for too sangnine estimates.
it is evident that at such rates the use of steel
must increase very greatly. The construc-
ton of new railroads will call for much and
it is no economy to put down new iron rails
for old ones in relaying the tracks of our
In short, everything points to a
large and healthy development of the iron in
