than made up for when the revolutionists gel
well into their work, and they will make due
amends for the recent scarcity OF interesting
news from that quarter.

In the general revival and increase
| of nearly every branch of business in the
| United States there is one of great importance
| which is so languishing as to require help from
| the Government, to wit: the manufacture OF
| heavy ordnance. Herein the United States
/ may be supposed to excite the elyy of the
| Kingdoms and Empires of the world. In most
| other countries the making Of great engines OF
var is one of the foremost Of their industries.

ACCORDING to the estimate of the
EncycIop.eiia Britannica, as estimated by a
| writer 10 the Nation, the natural resources of
| the United States, fully developed, are capa-
| be Of sustaining population Of nearly ,2UD :
000, 900, equal 10 the present estimated popuia-
| ton Of the globe. This estimate seems extraya-
| giant until We remember that even such a popula-
| ton would give us but three hundred and six
ty-four persons to the arabic square mile,
while England to-day has about three hum
dred and eighty-nine.

IT will be sad day for this country
| if it ever comes, when all honesty shall have
admittedly gone out of politics Whether re-
| ligion should be carried into party contests or
| not some degree Of morality at least should be
| observed in them. Virtue thought by the
| founders OF the Republic 10 be the stoutest
bulwark of the popular Liberties. Political
| parties are not nurseries of the highest and
most unseIfish patriotism; but it does not seem
| absolutely necessary that the methods of the
criminal classes should be imported into them.

AMONG other industries that are
possible in the future is the manufacture OF

states that Glasgow chemist after "A long
series Of experiments has succeeded in produc-
ing carbon crystals which Professor Tyndall
and other distinguished scientists do not hesi-
| tate TO pronounce genuine diamonds Ii would
| be sad state of affairs If the manufacture of
the real gems should 50 flood the market "a to
| ruin the deserving artists who produce the
various Alaska ard paste brands of the pre-

ALL kinds of manufactured goods
are advancing in price SO rapidly, that we are
glad 10 sec that some Of our merchants are taxi
ing time by the foreock, and buying before the
| rise at the manufactures will be so great as to
| influence retail prices Mr.. JOHN Bickel, for
instance, has already been East To the shoe
| manufacturing centres, and bought stock to
| see him through the winter and next summer,
and by paying ready cash for them secured
them at the old wholesale prices, which will
| enable him to sell al his usual low prices. His
stock is now as full, complete and good as any
in the county aud he cannot be undersold.

The suit of George S. Long VS..
James L. Brown and Relief Pipe Line Com
pany, was decided by the Supreme Court in
Philadelphia, last Wednesday, in favor of the
plaintiff. The suit involved the title Of oil
property valued at 1000, which has been in
litigation since 1872. The action Of the Su.
preme Court sustains the verdict of a jury
whose finding in the lower Court was reversed
by Judge Bredin about six years ago. George
who is at least happy for once in his life, will
have fresh supply Of funds to "court" his
friend Perdue, who has already been notified
by George himself Of the ruling Of the higher
Court.-Pstroiid Eecord.
