London, Oct. 13.-Advices from
Barrow-in-Furness say the demand for
iron is brisk, and the prices for for
ward delivery to-day advanced from
five to ten shillings per ton; large ship
ments being made to America and the
continent. The orders in hand for
iron and steel are said to be sufficient
to maintain activity of trade through
out winter. Several furnaces have
been relighted.

They Win not Join the White River Utes
--Ouray's Commands Legal Tender.
Denver, Oct. 12.-The following dis
patch was received by Gov. Pitkin
to-day:
LAKE CITY, Col, Oct. 10, 1879.
The following reliable news was re-
ceived from the Los Pinos agency:
Sapayaneiro, one of the most reliable
sub-ohiefs, who was sent by Ouray to
the White River agency, after the news
OF the fight had been received by Ouray,
returned from Milk river Yesterday at
IL O'Clock. He reports that he saw
the white men and children at the
White River agency in charge of Chief
Douglass, also one of the employees who
was present when the Indians made
the attack upon the agency. This man
killed one Indian and wounded another.
Sapavaneiro thinks that three or four
more employees are also alive, as their
tricks were seen around the agency
buildings and they may have fed to the
woods. Father Meeker was killed.
The report, as given in the paper, that
Sapavaneiro and Shavono took part in
the fight is untrue and it is also not
sure that Chief Douglas led the White
River Utes. Ouray thinks that Jack,
a White River Ute chief, commanded
the Indians in the charge on Thorn
burgh's command.
ISigned LENDEN.
| Los Pinos Indian agency, Col. Oct.
9.-Anemploye, named Brady, who went
White River with the Indian escort
under Chief Sapeneiro, has returned.
The Indians obeyed Chief Ouray's or
der mentioned few day ago. AS
soon that as was communicated to them
they ceased fighting and moved off. No
further trouble is anticipated, unless
the soldiers advance. Chief Douglass
sends word to Ouray that the women,
children, money and papers of the
agency will be sent here, when safe to
do it. Ouray does not believe that all
the emplyes Of the agency were killed.
Ouray endorses the agents dispatch to
Washington for the peace commits
sioner to investigate the trouble and
let the blame rest where it belongs.
The runner is just in:from the southern
Ute agency with letter from the
agent. A council has been held and
the Utes will abide by Ouray's order.
They want peace and will have moth.

Hanged Hair.

To our sight there is nothing sadder
than a sane woman with her hair
banged. A lppatic might be excused
such an erratic style of hair dressing,
but how a woman in the full posses
sion of her faculties, and with the
knowledge that she has a character to
keep up, can wear her hair banged is,
to us, profound mystery,

as if she felt little anxious lest the
thatch on her forehead might not be
securely fastened, or that it might
suddenly go back on her, and show
something which ought not to be seen.
We always commisserate the woman
whose hair is banged. We feel like
asking her if there is anything we can
DO for her. She appears to us like a
woman in trouble. We speak softly
to her, as if ordinary tones might lar
on her nerves. We wouldn't offer her
a subscription paper for anything in
the word ! Nor be glad if anybody
trod on the tail of her dress, orsquirted
tobacco juice on her velvet mantle.
We look at her and wonder how she
would seem with that mask taken off
her forehead. We wonder if she has
got moth patches on her temples. or a
mole on her classic brow, or a cow
lick, or colony Of pimples and BLACK
heads" Her forehead is to us as pro
found a mystery as fortune telling. or
psychomancy, or naturalization; and
we get so full Of doubt over it that we
would give half dollar to see the
fringe lifted, and what is under it
brought forth to the light of day.
We wonder if she admires herself
in the glass? If she thinks bangs are
bewitching? If she never wishes
she had not cut her hair off. and so
condemned herself to wear her hair
that way, willy, nilly? Does her hus-
band admire it? Does he ever sneer
at it behind his newspaper? Does he
ever say he wishes she had as pretty
forehead as Miss Smith? Does he
ever call her an angel, and think to
himself how an angel would look in
bangs
But there what is the use coniec-
turing? Fashion is omnipotent; SO
is folly, and we do not doubt that
somewhere in the world, to-day, some
fool is saying, Bangs are SO becom-

Whoever understands his own inter
osts, and is pleased with the beautiful
rather than the deformed, will be
careful to cherish the virtue of gentle
ness. 1t requires but a slight knowl-
edge OF human nature to convince us
that much of our happiness in life de-
pends upon the cultivation of this vir-
tue. The man of wild, boisterous
spirit, who gives loose rein to his tenn
per, is, generally speaking, stranger
to happiness he lives in continual
stOrm-the bitter waters of contention
and strife are always swelling up in his
soul, destroying its peace, and impair
ing its beautiful influence on all with
whom he is connected. He excites
the disgust and illwill of those who
are acquainted with his character, and
but few can be found to wish him sue
cess in any of his undertakings.
Not so is the influence of gentle
ness. Thiskvirtue will assist its
possessor in all his lawful under
takings it will often render him
successful when nothing else could; it
is exceedingly lovely and attractive in
appearance; it wins the hearts of all
it is even stronger than argument, and
would often prevail when that would
be powerless and Intellectual; it shows
that man can put bride upon his
passions; that he is above the vulgar.
whose characteristic is to storm and
rage like the troubled ocean, at every
little adversary or disappointment that
crosses their paths; it shows that he
can soar away in the bright atmosphere
Of good feeling and live in continual
sunshine, when all around him are
enveloped in clouds and darkness, and
driven about like maniacs in the
sports of their passions. The most
favorable situations in life, the most
lovely objects in nature, wealth, and
all that is calculated to increase the
happiness of man, lose their charms
upon heart destitute of this virtue.

The Future of Memphis.

Tuscumbia Alabamian.l
That real estate will, for a time be
more or less deprecated in Memphis
is quite probable, but that her bust
ness will be seriously or permanently
damaged by the present development
of yellow fever is simply ridiculous,
and any merchant who has prospered
there in the past will make a great
mistake if he makes anything but a
temporary removal of his business to
any other city. The history of Hav-
ana and Vera Cruz, the native places
Of the fever, and Of many large cities
of India, that have often been deci-
mated by cholera and the plague,
contradict the presumption that such
visitations ihhict any lasting injury
upon the regular trade and business of
commanding point. This too, with
the assumption granted, that the sani-
tary condition of such place will be
the same, and that the liability to
annual epidemics will continue. We
are satisfied that this will not be
the case at Memphis. Notwith-
standing the present visitation,
and the stereotyped talk about the
filth of Bayou Gayoso, which is grossly
exaggerated, we know that vast deal
has been done since last fall to cleanse
the city. That the sinks and water
closets which are under and forming 0
part of many houses there, should
have kept the germs of the disease
above freezing point last winter, is moi
at all strange. Let these be abolished
next winter, and Memphis. with {
quarantine, will be as little liable tC
future epidemics as any other South
ern city. If her people are but true
to themselves, and will actively seconC

AWOnderf,uI Phenomenon.
LOrd Dunraven in Nineteenth Century /

HVlu buihuNNu III Nlneletnln century
A strange scene, for example, which
came within my observation last year,
completely puzzled me at the time
and has done so ever since. | was in
Nova Scotia in the fall when one
day my Indian told me that in a
lake close by all the rocks were mov-
ing out of the water-a circumstance
which | thought not little strange.
However; | went to look at the un-
heard af spectacle, and sure enough
there were the rocks apparently all
moving out of the water on dry land
The lake is of considerable length but
shallow and full of great masses of
rock. Many of these masses appear to
have travelled out of the lake and are
now high and dry, some fifteen yards
above the margin of the water. They
have plowed deep and regularly de-
fined channels for themselves. You
may see them of all sizes, from blocks
Of, say, roughly speaking, six or eight
feet in diamter, down to stones that
man could lift Moreover, you find
them in various stages of progress,
some of them a hundred yards or
more from shore to shore and appa-
rently just beginning to move Others
half way to their destination, and
others again, as have said, high and
dry above the water. In all cases
there is a distinct groove or furrow
which the rock has clearly plowed
for itself | noticed one particularly
good specimen, an enormous block
which lay some yards above high
water mark. The earth and stones
were heaped up in front of it to a
hight Of three or four feet. There
was Il deem furrOw, the exact breadth
of the block, leading down directly
from it into the lake, and extending
until it was hidden from my sight by
the depth of the water. Loose stones
and pebbles were piled up on each
side Of the groove in regular, clearly
defined line thought at first that
from some cause or other the smaller
stones, pebbles and sand had been
dragged down from above, and conse.
quently had piled themselves up in
front Of all the large rocks too heavy
to be removed, and had left a vacant
place or furrow behind the rocks.
But if that had been the case the
drift of moving material would of
course have Joined together in the
space Of few yards behind the fixed
rocks. On the contrary, these grooves
or furrows remained the same width
through the loose shingles and stones
which compose the bed of the lake
What power has set these rocks in
motion it is difficult to decide. The
action Of Ice Is the only thing that
might explain it, but how the ice
could exert itself in that special man
ner, and why, if ice is the cause of It,
it docs not manifest that tendency in
every lake In every part of the world,
| do not pretend to comprehend.
My attention having been once di-
reeted to this, | noticed it in various
other lakes. Unfortunately my Indian
only mentioned it to me day or two
before | lett the woods. | had not
time, therefore, to make any inYesti-
cation into the subject.

The ship Templar arrived at San

the latter port of yellow fever. The
wife of Captain Armstrong and two
seamen died; Captain Armstrong, his
daughter, the ships carpenter and
others suffered, and several have not
yet fully recovered. The ship was put
in quarantine, her bedding destroyed,
and the vessel fumigated.

"There Is a Reaper"

Jasper Smith, farmers hired man,
was sent to town to buy scythe. AZ
ter he had taken several drinks to
sharpen his experience, he started out
to buy the seythe.
By the time he was ready to buy his
scythe the beer had worked up into
his head, and he insisted on trying the
blade before paying for it. In his ar.
dor he came nearly moving the leg off
several pedestrians, and when he
failed to lop off a hitching post at one
awful blow he threw down the scythe
in disgust and refused to shell out for
damages,
Sun beaten agriculturist, what
means such conduct, " asked the court
as the sheepish locking prisoner was
brought forth.
"All | can remember seems like a
dream, answered the man.
You don't remember of trying to
NOV an alderman's feet OFF,"
"No."
"Nor of moving down bales of calico
and strings of straw hats2"

well, I'll fix it so you won't be SO

is five dollars"
That's a heap of money, remarked
the prisoner as he went down for his
sinking fund.
well, no one else had any fun out
of it but you. 1t wasn't like going of
on an excursion and dividing up the
scenery and eating ice cream off the
same dish with cross-eyed woman. y
The man paid, but he looked purple
around the mouth and the nose as he
went out, and when Bijah called to
him that he had left his hat he turned
and replied
Oh. III remember you, you old
bald head The first time | catch
you out on huckleberry excursion
