Nobody's reputation and honor are
safe in this cynical age. For the last ben
years Mount Everest, in Nepaul, has
been considered tho highest mountain
in the world, reaching the respectable
height of 29,OO2 feet. Dhawalagirl and
Kuchinjinga, in the same range, with
about 90, 900 feet each, shared this hon
or between them until Maj. Everest, OF
the Bengal Engineers, discovered their
big brother. Before they we're meas
ured Humboldt thought some points in
the South American Andes reached the
highest altitude on our globe. And
now comes Capt. j. A. Lawson, who
has discovered in the little-known island
of New Guinea peak that beats them
all, which he has appropriately called
Mount Hercules, and fixed its elevation
at 32, 1856 feet above the level OF the sea.

Mr.. J. D. WARD, of Pittsburgh, and
Secretary OF the Western Iron Associa-
alton, who has been making an examina-
ton of the iron-ore bed in the neighbor-
hood Of Lynchburg, Va, for some weeks,
reports that the ore in that region is tho
richest he has ever seen, not even ex-
cepting the ore of the Iron mountain
and Lake Superior regions. He predicts
a speedy revival of the iron industry in
the vicinity Of Lynchburg. Already
two rolling-mills that have been idle for
wears have been started up at that place.
Others will soon be built and operated.

NOT COMWENDdBLE.

There is nothing to be admired in &C.
ccntricity. 1t is harmless, but it
never can be commendable; it is ono of
the children of that prolific falling
vanity. And, whether it shows ITSELF in
singular manners or peculiaritics of
dress, it is clearly acted upon from the
presumptuous superstition that the many
are in the wrong, the individual in the
right.

PREPARATIONS arc under way for TAX
ing Il census Of the Indians. This has
never been thoroughly done, but the
whole number in the United States and
Territories in 1871, including 10000 in
Alaska, was estimated by the Indian
Bureau at $500 Whether they have
since increased or diminished in number
is not entirely certain. 1t is probable
that the wild Indians have decreased
considerably, but the more-ciyilizcd
tribes have increased. The Cherokees,
for instance increased from II 900 i'll
