USING BLAST FURNACE STAG.
Industry Which VIII Prove Valuable
in This Country,

B.ast furnace slug is now extensively
used in England. The Stag is produced in
the smelling OF iron ores for pig-iron max.
ing. Being lighter than the iron it floats
on its surface in the furnace, and flows
out in n liquid state at an aperture. About
30 cwt. OF Stag is made for every ton Of pig
iron, and in the Cleveland district alone
from three to four millions Of tons OF this
Stag is made annually. Some millions OF
tons have been deposited on the banks OF
the river Tees, and are forming an i'm.
mems brGakwatGr, which stretches out
into the sea some miles ut the mouth
Of the river. \ few years ago Mr.. Charles
Woods and others commenced making
bricks, paving sets, concrete, and other
articles from ii, and two companies are
now ut work making these articles. About
three millions Of bricks are made annual
ly, and sent principally to London by
water carriage, and streets and crossings
have been paved with these sets in sever
al towns OF the north Of England. At
some OF the furnaces on the west coast the
same articles have been produced from
Stag, and buildings, river walls, water.
courses, etc, constructed from the articles
made. Perhaps the most scientific sys.
TEN yet introduced for utilizing this refuse
is the making Of glass from the Stag, the
ingredients Of the Stag being similar to the
ingredients in common glass. Glass.
works are now in operation at blast fur
naces in NorthamptOnshire, where the
Stag is run direct from the iron furnace
into the glass furnace, mixed with other
materials, and then used for making bot
ties and other articles Of glass.

sEyAron DrrLEn, Of soulh Carolina, ha

SENATOR BUTLER, Of South Carolina, has
very frankly described tho situation at
Washington, from a Democratic point Of
view. What he says has all the more
weight because lie is one OF those modGr-
ate members OF his party who believe that,
after presenting the election law bills to
the President as separate measures, Con-
gress ought to pass the appropriation bills
without %extranGOus matter and adjourn.
Mr.. Butler says that an extra session was
resolved upon because it was "yery i'm
portant TO the Democrats 10 organize the
House." because 1.-THE Democratic ma.
jorjtY, according to the footing up OF the
election returns, vas unCOmtOrtably small,
with the California election intervening
before the next regular session" and be-
cause "the Greenback column appeared to
be II very uncertain quantity" This is a
candid confession in behalf Of the Demo.
Gratis that what their enemies have charg.
cd upon them is true; that their course
in Congress, including the holding Of Il use
less, costly and disturbing extra session,
was governed not by public considerations
but by purely partisan interests.

could he pleasant only when they have
made NJ their minds to bear with these
pecullarilieS. This they have not vet done.
My opinion is that many Of the Northern
Prcshytcrians who are so eager for re-.
union are ignorant Of the pcculiari,ics Of
the Southern Church, or ut least fail In
weigh them fully. The forms which prr.
vail IN both sections are much alike, but
the temper which animatcs them is very

wIlnt We Escnped,In the silver MI.

We gave in Mondays lSTEILIGESCEt an
analysis Of thesilver bill as it finally passed
the lower house OF Congress on last
Saturday. The sting was partially taken
out Oft beforei it got t~krOughthe Housc,and
even in its present shape it is not certain
that it will pass the Senate. In its original
shape the bill gave every man who had
silver, worth at the present price 81 cents,
the privilege Of having it coined by the
Government into a dollar, which the law
made ~legal.tender fOr,lW cents. The bill
has been amended so that when the bul.
lion holder deposits bullion with the
treasury, either for coinage or for the pur-
pose OF taking u certificate of deposit, the
difference between the real, or gold value
OF the silver bullion, and its nominal value
when turned into silver dollars goes
To the government. Under these circum-
stances deposits with the government
would become II way oi carrying on
speculative transactions in silver bullion
but it is not likely that the volume of sill
yer dollars in circulation would be largely
increased. Like the first silver bill. this
later silver measure would probably result
in less evil than is expected. The real OBJ
lection to the measure lies in the section
which makes silver certificates good for the
payments OF interest on the public debt
and requires the payment OF silver and
gold without discriminate to public
creditors. 1.-THE coinage OF silver goes on,
Is this bill provides that it shall, at
the rate OF $4,000 900 a month, the
time will probably come when the
treasury will be forced to pay ont silver to
meet interest charges on the public debt
and such payment would he n most seri.
Gus blow to the public credit. AS a mat.
ter OF fact, since comparatively early ia IS
the government has never paid out silver
To meet either theprincipal or the interest
Gifts debt. 1t is well known that while
the Senate is somewhat doubtful in its
position on the silver question, the SEN
ate Committee on Finance is not likely to
take up the bill during this session. Its
final passage through Congress is there
fore likely to be long delayed, and when
that happens 4 veto is considered probable.
