Improvement in the Iron Trade.

Improvement lm the Iron TrAdes
 LONDON, Feb. 1.-The Austrian iron trade
 which has hitherto taken very small part in
 the improvement of the trade on the conti-
 nent, seems at last to be following the lead of
 the German markets. A Vienna correspondent
 writes that orders for 46, 900 centners of steel
 rails have recently been placed in the Austrian
 works by the Bohemian railway. In addition
 to these it is expected that large orders will
 shortly be given on behalf of the BresIau and
 Freiburg Railway Company, who are con
 structing a new line to Neucorge, as
 Austrian tenders for work are much
 below those given by the German
 firms. An order for 100000 cent
 ners has been accepted by one Vienna firm for shipment to America via Trieste. The
 Austrian firm has the option of the delivery of COG, 900 centners more at the same quota tions. Prices are now advancing rapidly. Pig
 iron has advanced from to 10 forms since December, and Bessemer raw iron fiorins. Several works are reported to be increasing their productions by opening new furnaces, and in some branches the whole of the produc- ton for 1880 is said to be already disposed of in Belgium. Another correspondent writes that the demand from America for iron rails is as active as ever and prices continue to ad vance. The Creuzot (France) works have again advanced all quotations. A Belbas (Spain) correspondent writes that the Compa- nil and other irons of Spanish production are also in active demand and prices are rising The Barracks Accident at COnstantf- nOpIe-Swelling the List of Victims. LONDON, Feb. 11.-It is now ascertained that by the fall of the barracks near Constan- tinopIe the actual number killed was 22O while 856 were wounded, many fatally. GeKmaMyss Reason for Strengthening g Her Army.
 LONDON, Feb. 1.-The Berlin correspond ent of the Cologne Gazette says that it is quite mistake to suppose that it is the object of the German Government to raise the army to
 anumerical equality with that of either France or Russia. What Germany intends to have is
 an army which, taken as whole, is match
 for those of the great powers, and it is felt
 that, though numerically weaker, the German army will in most circumstances be superior | to any other European army although strong | CT in point of numbers. AS to the idea that | the measure is directed against the social | democrats or communists, it is simply ridicu- \ lous and deserves not the slightest considera- ton.

Death OF the One Man Who Could Readi.
ly Decipher Horace Greeley's
ChirOgrapby.

Mr.. John c. Robinson, known as the
Lightning Proof-Reader, was found
dead in bed at his residence in Williams
burg yesterday morning. Mr.. Robin
son was born in this city forty years
ago. He attended school in the Seventh
Ward, and entered John A. Grav's
printing establishment in Cliff street as
q copy-boy" when thirteen years old.
In 1854 he entered the Tribune proof
room. In deciphering manuscripts he
was a marvel. He read Richard Hill
dreth's, Horace Greeley's, Count Pu-
laski's, Gerrit Smiths, and other
grabbed manuscripts almost at glance.
When Mr.. Greeley himself was unable
to decipher one of his own written SEN
tences, he referred it to MIR. Robinson,
who looked at it steadily for minute
or more, and made out its meaning. In
the municipal canvass of 1866 letter
from Mr.. Greeley, written under the
Spingler House heading, was sent to the
night editor of the Tribune. 1t in
closed an editorial article in the same
handwriting, favoring the election of a
we'll known Republican politician, who
was running on an independent ticket.
1t was the night before election. The
article was put in type. In asserting
the copy before reading the proof the
manuscript iell under the eyes of Mr..
Robinson. Something about it at
tracted his attention. He examined it
as a paying teller would examine a
doubtful bill. THAT'S not the old
mans handwriting, he said. He was
SO confident that it was a forgery that
he called the editors attention to it,
and the article was suppressed. So
skillful was the forgery that on the
following day Mr.. Greeley said that
had he not known different, he would
have taken tito be his own handwriting

He was q. sober, quiet. Industrious man,
a faithful man to bis friends and a fear
less foe to his enemies; a Republican,
but b never taking any share in politics;
was never known to injure any one.
The people of his immediate neighbor-
hood feel deeply incensed. Some will

the murder of S. M. Lee will be long
remembered by all who knew him.
Nothing has been done to ferret out the
perpetrator; his friends dare not, the
authorities will not. I send you the
reply the Governor of Alabama gave
when asked to offer a reward for his
detection. Can any one believe that,
if it had been some prominent South
erner who had been murdered the
same answer would have been givenP
No sensible man will believe it.-Cor.

manded it. Mechanically he picked il
up, mounted the wheel, and handed il
to me. Then touching his hat to the
lady, said:
a. But for this lining you might have
been lying in yonder ditch. No treasure

without it, and well finish your &C
counts. Drive onr p .--
1--WE gladly followed his advice, but
couldnot lind language vigorous enough
to express our contempt for the mean
ness of the merchant. The driver swore
at him in Spanish, and the young lady
answered all attempts at consolation
with hysterical sobs. The merchant
alone preserved his cool equanimity of
temper.
"Arriving at Denver, he begged very
Iearnestly of the young lady, with me
as her friend, to grant him few mo-
msnts of explanation, in private par
lor. He was SO in earnest that the
young girl yielded reluctant consent.
He closed the door and bolted it, which
looked strangely.

for my revolver. Sitting in a chair
he pulled off his boot, and, from the
toe. pulled out a roll of greenbacks.

he presented that also for her accept

stage, but "walls have ears" and why

The Fire Laws OF Japan.

The severity with which persons in
Japan are punished who have the mis-
fortune to be burned out is stated as
follows: If the house is unoccupied
and is accidentally set on fire, the per-
son through whose carelessness the fire
is started receives ten days imprison-
ment with hard labor; if it is inhabited
and the FIRE be produced by the pro-
prietor, then he is punished with twenty
days; if the fire spreads to other houses
the sentence is forty days. and when
anybody is.killed thereby, one degree

Mr.. Robinson's rapidity in reading
proof-sheet aloud was unparalleled,
and his enunciation was perfect.
Timed by the writer, he has pronounced
696 words in minute. This is al the
rate of Al, ,760 per hour. The words
were pronounced in monotonous tone
of voice without accent, and came
from his lips as though sent from the
wheels of a machine. Long before the
death of Mr.. Greeley, Mr.. Robinson
was given charge of the Tribune proof
room. He left that journal in 1875,
and accepted similar position on the
Snn.-N. =. Sun.

Democratic and Republican Ideals.

b In our American politics the Demo-
cratic party has idealized liberty, and
the Republican party equality, the two
main objects sought by our form of
government; and the difference be-
tween these two ideals, or their re-
spective emphasis, constitutes the main
difference between the principles of the
two parties. The Democratic party
would have, in a general way, all kinds
of liberty, and liberty to the greatest
extent. The Republican party would
have all kinds of equality, and equality
in every particular. The Democratic
party would have, as far as practical
BILE, liberty from rulers, from laws, and
from the central Government; liberty
of trade, of speech, and of the press;
liberty of assembling, of arming, and
even of expressing. The Republican
party would have equality of individ-
uals, of races and of colors; equality of
sections, of States, and of religions;
equality of rights and of powers; equal
ity enforced by Constitutions and by
laws; and equality guaranteed against
eminent. Each party has taken term
liberty and equality respectively
and analysed and perfected its mean
a WI oub anu CluStSlCu uDOut
it all that it implies or suggests. 1t
is the distinction between these two
ideals as thus constructed, and their
elashing in the attempt to realize
them in their unlimited application
that constitute the yearly issue in our
politics.
The Democratic party, from its stand
point of liberty, would have all liberty;
while the Republican party, from its
standpoint of equality, would have lib
erty for all. The Democrats have
wanted liberty even to enslave, while
the Republicans have wanted bonds,
even on the free, against slavery. The
Democrats considering the interests
and progress of liberty to consist in the
extension of its degree and the Repub-
icans in the extension of its subjects,
the former have always wanted to make
men more free, while the latter have
wanted to make more free men. The
Democrats would select portion of the
race to be made perfectly free, while
the Republicans would take all and
make them as free as possible. The
Democrats, in short, want unequal lib
erty, while the Republicans want equal
restraints. The former are willing to
sacrifice some of the people that the
rest may be free; while the latter are
willing to sacrifice some of our rights
that all may have the rest. The Demo-
Gratis looking over the whole range of
liberties, and the Republicans over the
whole range of men, in their ideals,
the former will not sacrifice anything
for all, the latter will not sacrifice any
body for anything. The Democrats
will not bind themselves partially for
the freedom of the whole, the Republic
cans will not bind anybody wholly for
the freedom of part.-Austin Bier
