Decline Ia Iron. Etc

Iron and nails, wire and such stock
are settling back slowly. Advices from
the furnaces and manufactures continue to
ray tho trade peremptorily demands a great
concession, but the proprietors have SO
hsapel around their boom, and fancy prices
by the advance Of wages to operatives, and
the purchase of large supplies of ore at high
figures, they are in an awkward position, and
nte retresting with the greatest reluctance.
Bat Europe continues TO pile liz surplus
upon us, and the trade to reject all above
just enough togrind along with, having no
confidence IN the present rates being main
a,ined. The quotations to-day are revised

The doctrine Of Purgatory has got into
court, and the decision of the Supreme
Bench of Pennsylvania concerning it is of
interest The law of that State insists that
bequests to religious institutions must be
made month at least before the death of
the testator. One Martin Power left about
thousand dollars to be expended in masses
for the extrcation of his soul from Purga-
tory, but the will was made less than thirty
days before his death, and his kinspeople
contested it. The case went on appeal to
the Superior Court. In rendering his decis-
ion Justice Sterrett said:
According to the Roman Catholic system of
faith there exists an intermediate state of the
soul after death and before final Judgment,
unatoned for must be expiated, and the tenn
porary punishment to which the souls Of the
penitent are thus subjected may be mitigated
or averted through the efficacy of the mass.
1t cannot be doubted that in obeying the in
junction to the testator, and offering masses
for the benefit of his soul, the officiating priest
would be performing a religious service, and
none the less so because intercession would be
specially invoked in behalf of the testator
alone. The service is just the same in kind,
whether it be designed to promote the spiritual
welfare of one or many. Prayer for the con-
version OF single impenitent is as purely a
religious act as a petition for the salvation of
thousands. The services intended to be per-
formed in carrying out the trusts created by
the testator's will, as well as the objects de-
signed to be obtained, are all essentially relig-
ious in character Itappears to us that the
bequest to st. Mary's Catholic church was
merely for religious use and therefore, void
according to the express terms of the statute.

Things are very well as they are; there is
no cause whatever for discouragement; per-
haps not great deal for extreme elation.
The business is thriving we'll enough, but it
would not be judicious to neglect any of the
means by which its continued welfare may
be secured. There is vast quantity of leath-
er to be made into goods, and sold and worn
in this year of our Lord. On the other
hand, there is a huge population to be sup
piled. Thus far the signs look highly prom
Using, and if we will only bear in mind that
there must be buyers as well as producers

fore the latter were relieved of their wares

tiIued experience of thrift.

In his Scotch campaign Mr.. Gladstone
declined to give his opinion of "fagot vot-
ing" Americans have been more perplexed
by the meaning of the term than by the 81
lence of the great Liberal leader. In Brit
ish politics fagot voter is one who has ap-
parently become qualified for the exercise of
the right of suffrage by the acquisition of a
freehold interest in real property which has
come to him by purchase or by gift. If he
is honestly possessed of the property,
even though the object of acquisition
is to gain the privilege of voting,
the transaction is perfectly legitimate. But
in the great land-ownerships of Scotland the
practice has grown up of making assign
ments of real property, which, though regu-
lar in form, are made with the sole purpose
of creating voters and with the understand
ing that the ownership shall not last longer
than the canvass. Thus in Midlothian,
which Mr.. Gladstone contests with Lord
Dalkeith, the Duke of Buccleucb, the faith
er of the Conservative candidate, is accused
of making 645 fagot votes by temporarily as
signing to his adherents small pieces of real
estate, bits of moorland, shares in tenement
houses, and so forth.

form of limestones, chalks, marls, mar
bles, etc. Numerous and extensive as
arc these deposits, it is believed that
they are all of animal origin. The soft
est chalk and the densest limestone are
found to consist Of the aggregated shells
or skeletons of myriads of tribes of the
lower animals, which existed in some re-
mote period of the worlds history. CO.
ral-reefs are sea-slands of carbonate Of
lime built up by minute aquatic animals,
and their formation is an example Of
similar deposits now being made.
