FELIX,

Elchanan was taken to the convent
on the Jacobsberg, and brought into the
cell of Father Thomas Not quite re-
covered from his recent sickness, the
fright and the desire for his parents
caused the poor boy to be Frustrated by
fever much stronger than the former.
The exertions of the good monk nearly
proved abortive, for the sickness which
returned with redoubled yigor threat
ened to deprive him of his prize, But
no efforts were spared to save the life
of the boy At last his strong consti-
tuition resisted the fatal attacks of his
sickness. he recovered again regaincd
consciousness, but he lost all rccollec-
ton of the past. He placed implicit
confidence in Father Thomas, who was
exceedingly kind and gentle toward him
and called him by the name Of Felix. .
When Felix became well, Father
Thomas brought him to the monastery
of st. Jacob at Bamberg, where nobody
would think of searching for the lost
child and no outside investigation could
discover him. Felix soon became the
favorite of all the monks of that estab-
lishment. They taught him all they
could and were astonished at his eager
desire to learn, his wonderful faculty Of
comprehension, and his remarkable mem
Dry. At the age of seven years he could
speak and write the Latin language
with great facility. But this was all
that he could learn at Bamberg, and the
Prior, who was very fond Of him and
desired that his abilities should be cul-
tiyated to the best advantage, took him
to Rome, There Felix also surprised
everybody with his wonderful talents ,
he was introduced to the Pope, who
took a great interest in him, and en-
trusted his further education to the best
professors,
At that time the Papacy was at the
acme Of its power The successors Of
Peter were able to make the most pow
crful monmchs subscryient to their will
by the thunder Of accommodation.

Many days still was Elchaaan CON

duct toward the child had assumed Il
strange character If she had formerly
loved the boy and treated him with at

him with a sort of religious devotion.
She could not suffer his relatives or
even his parents to approach him, and
was Jealous of every little service they
would render. Her strange demeanor
did not escape the notice OF her mis-

morbid condition of Margaret's mind
which might have been the result of too
much exertion ON the part of the faith

Margaret's behavior was to be sought
elsewhere.
On that Sunday, when she disclosed

darling would die and 90 to hell. because
1t was a jew boy, the pious Father adj

from the grasp of Satan by performing

death and damnation, From the mo-
ment that the ceremony was clandes-

child, she regarded it as her own and
all her thoughts were engaged in a
scheme to snatch it away from the jew

Roman Catholic religion, Father Thorn

The Iron Trade.

1t may not be generally known, but it
is nevertheless a fact that the iron inter
est of Ohio employs more men in its
various branches than any other indus
try except agriculture. That metal en-
ters so largely into almost every manu-
facture that, in spite of its recent very
great depression, the volume of its pro-
duction has not so very materially fallen
off. In the four years ending with 1873,
few industries were more profitable. The
mania for railroad building which pre-
vailed in those years, combined with the
use of iron in many departments in
which it superseded wood and clay, Great
ed a demand for which there had never
before existed precedent, while the
price ran up correspondingly. Every
furnace owner had a fortune for his
yearly income New furnaces were
built without regard to the proper econO-
nv of oduction-anything that would
smelt few tons Of ore would then coin
a fortune.
With the panic Of 1878 came a sudden
and ruinous cessation Of the building of
new railroads; those needing rails had
their old ones rerolled the machine shops
curtailed their production, because they
could find no purchasers; building ceas-
ed, or was done within legitimate bounds
only, and nails were drag, The manu-
facturers of pig metal, the starting point
for these industries, would mostly have
been only too glad to have so curtailed
the production as to keep the price to a
point above actual cost. But in many
cases they conld not stop their works
without bringing serious injury, perhaps
tOlal ruin, on themselves, and throwing
hundreds of faithful employees out of
work and the means of getting a liveli-
hood, and they struggled on, hoping
against hope for an improvement in
business and in prices. For reasons such
as these the production of pig iron in
Ohio, which in 1878 was 406,029 tons,
was kept up to 400,39S tons in 1871, a re-
duction of only 5,631 tons, while the
price fell from about $50 per ton in 1878
to less than $40 in 1878, for certain good
brands, and much below that for poorer
ones, frequently below the cost OF pro-
duction.
That there has been within short
time an improvement in both the busi-
ness and the price that augers well for
this most important industry seems
almost certain from information we have
received. 1t is not much, to be sure, but
we believe it to be sure. There will be
no more yearly fortunes made from
every little furnace stack, but we be-
lieve the iron master may count on his
plant soon returning him modest pro-
fit for the long, dark years of waiting he
has endured Gazette.
