"Weare happy to state that a sad mis- take WAS made, few months since, in the announcement of the entire loss of A B's fortune. He had at that time been very unfortunate, and through some strange mistake a note of his went to protess; but he is all right now. The cashier of the bank where his account IS kept informs us that he will honor the young mans check for half a mil lion with pleasure. All is well that ends well"
 Within four and-twenty hours of that tune Fred was in receipt of a dozen gushing notes from as many different individuals offering him any help in thelr power to give, and begging him to remember the old friendship. Only one of them did he answer, and that was 1he note of Tom Amberly.
 Do you remember, Tom, that you once offered toast in my rooms in hon. or or myself, and you called me your Sober and thrifty host?' And I re- solved in my heart of hearts, from that moment, that you had not liedlD
 When the Christmas bells were ring ing, Fred led the dear girl of his old time. love to the altar, and took her hand in wedlock, promising that the night had passed, and that the morning had dawned upon a new and 6 better life.

Novel Boyeotting

A novel boycotting experiment is in progress in the heart of England, and ought to immortalize the name of the chief agitator, Lady Bective, as the deeds of the famous Irish captain have established his name in the language. The woolen manufacturers of Bradford are in state of extraordinary depres- sion. The "Fair Traders" make this fact the center of some of their most persistent demonstrations, Lady Bectiye, and few others of the nobility, how ever, paying no attention to hostile tar ifs, but laying the hard times for Brad ford to changes of fashion, have patri- otically set to work to annul the decrees of Paris. Until few years the "lustre wools,n which form the staple of the Bradford trade, were everywhere sought for dress goods. Then Parisian fashion oracles declared that dull material, made of foreign wool, and to an indis- cribable extent in England, must take the place of lustre fabrics Laws pro- mulgated thus are more inyiolable than those of the Medes and Persions, and the English long wool manufacturers in the opinion of my lady and her friends languish for this reason only. lt is sadly to be feared that Lady Bective's success in her efforts 10 persuade English women to ignore Paris, aud resume the use ol the lustrous goods, will not be go great as her motives are good, Every body lAe t I ra-...

A Burglary Epidemic in London.


 It IS curious satire upon the compla- cent boast that we are the most orderly and law-abiding nation in the world that the public should he discussing with eager interest whetber the protec- ton of life and property in the suburbs of London demands the armiDg of the police with cutlasses and reyoivers. The nurder of the policeman by burglars at Kingston has given point and urgency to The discussion, and there are not lack ing symptoms that London is on the eve If q scare about burglars similar to the famous scIre about garroters, Nor can 1t be denied that there is some gt0und fSr the general alarm. The long ,ights are setting in, and the house breakers of the metropolis have begun the season with spirit. Burglaries, many el them highly successful, and some of them such as that at Kingston-givine evidence that the burglars are ss ready with the revolver as with the jimmy, have been repoIted almost simultane- ously in several directions, and as yet noue of the marauders appear to have been arrested. The police statistics prove that bur.lorv is on the increase in Llndou.. In 1879 903 cases were report d. but last year the number rose to ,292, while the number of cases Of shop breaking increased in the same nerlod from 3o2 to 393. Even after all lowing liberal marein for changes in classification, which vtiate so many sta. tis,i al comparisons,th this particular crime see us to be increasing in frequency. Unfortunately, the number of burglars convicted has by no means kept pace with the increase of burelaries committed. In 1879 there were l62 convictions, or one conviction to every six cases; but in in 1880 there were only 142, or one to every nine. In the same period there was reported an omnibus increase in the number of other robberies, assaults with intent to rob, and cases of sacrilege, There were only 29 cases of sacrilege, an offense closely akin 10 burglary, in 1876, and they increased by 201 per cent in 1880; but although there were three con vtcnons in lS79 in 1880 there were only five 10 eighty five oflenses. If to these significant and disquieting figures we add tue fact that murders in the metrop- olis rose last year from nine to severn teen, we have sufficient warrant for re- garding the situation with considerable uneasiness.

Ben Lelana's Request.
Troy Tlrna

Haverly's mastodon minstrels were playing in London, and were softly sing ing one night to a crowded house the chorus in "Old Kentucky Home" When the last notes melted away strange looking figure advanced few steps from his seat in dark corner of the pit, and the audience were startled at hearing a voice say earnestly and dis tinctly: "sing the dear old song again sing it for me, I'm listening hard and I'm listening low, boys, and every word is friend 10 me, home to me--every- thing. Say, will you sing it just once more for me, right now and here~ It was the figure and voice of Ben Leland, an old minstrel. who left this country several years ago, and after playing in Australia made his way, broken down old man, to London. Here he supported himself by playing the banjo, but eked out generally a miserable existence. The mastodons sang the chorus again, and the figure sank back into it's seat. When the audience dispersed, it remained mo- tionless, and when an attendant came to arouse it he found Ben Leland dead.

Progress of Iron Indnsiries.

The Census Bureau of the Government has just issued one of it's special bulle tins relative to the iron and steel indus tries of the United States, which, saws the Lancaster Nelc Era, is full of inter esting facts and reveals the marvellous progress we have made in this direction during the past decade. There IS at the present time capital of s230, ,971 ,SS4 in. vested in the business, against $i21 FTP. 074 ten years ago, showing an increase during the brief period of more than se per cent. In 1880 only twenty five States and Territories had engaged in the production of iron and steel but Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado, as well as the Territories of Utah and Wyom- ing, have since commenced operations making total of 30 States and Territor. ies of iron and steel.
 Pennsylvania has for a hundred years been the great iron making State ot the Union. h 1870 we made fifty per cent. of the entire production of the country We have held our own remarkably well during past decade, having increased our output 97 per cent, and in 1880 we still made 10 per cent. of the country $ entire production, notwithstanding that the industry has been wonderfully stim- ulated all over the country during the past ten years. Pennsyvania's product in 1870 was .S36 sos tons; in 1880 it was 36l6.66S tons. The increase in tons all over the country between 1870 and 1886 was from 655 2l5 tons to 7,265, ,140 tons. or 90 per cent, a most wonderful in crease.
 Ohio more nearly approaches us in her iron productions than any other State, her product in 1870 having been 449,76S tons, and in 1880 930, Al tons. an increase of l07 per cent. New York comes next, but her rate of growth in her iron product is much less than that of Pennsylvania or Ohio, having been only B pet cent between 1870 to 1880. Her product in the latter year was 593.- 300 tons. Illinois has taken New Jer- seys place as fourth among our iron pro- ducing States; in 1870 she made only 25,- 76l tons, which increased to 4l7,968, an increase of 1922 per cent in ten years. Maryland has fallen fromsthe fifth place in 1860 to the twelfth in 1880, having made an increase of only Is per cent. Missouri has made great progress, being now the sixth State on the list. Some Of the Southern States, notably West Virginia, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and Delaware, have shown largely in creased production. Of all the States that made iron or steel in 1870, three alone, south Carolina, North Carolina 'and Maine, have fallen off in their product of these metals. Under the remarkable demand of the railroad in erests of the country, we may for a num- bI9 of years at least see this important industry make equally rapid strides.

The Wife of Moses.

Rev. Moses Q. Welch, writing in the New Eaglaader, represents that the wife uf his great namesake, the Jewish leader and law giyer, has not received the at. tention she deserves; and in labored article he attempts 10 make up, so far as he is able, the deficiency. Like the wife of Lot, who was turned into a perpetual pillar of salt, Zipporah, he thinks, should stand forever as warning to the world. According to his account she was an- other Zantippe; and Moses, to his dying day. had special occasion to regret his ,iaying of the quarresome Egyptian, ince it drove him down into Midian, here he married this daughter of q est. And yet he considers that, as in
 case of Socrates, Moses was specially d for his mission by the severe dis
 ne administered by his wife. This
 oline, he says, was needed to pre-
 him to be a successful leader of a
 al, caprcious. unreasoning and re-
 Dus people" Instead of Moses

 indicates that he was the most

The Coachman's Catch.
London Times.


 Mai. and Mrs. Grant have lived at Bodmin since their marriage. five years ago, They occasionally visit Mr. Little- on, Mrs Grants brother, at his resi-. dence, Trewin Shevlock, bringing theiI coachman wi h them. It was while on such visit 10 Shcvlcck that tue elope. ment occurred. Msj. Grant has been in the habit of spending his holidays in Canada, chiefly for tbe sport that coun' try affords. Occasionally he has been accompanied by his wife, but on his last visit to Canada, whence he recently re armed, his wife did not go with him. On Friday morning last, the major and Nh Llulet0n went out about o'clock for days cub hunting. Mrs. Grant seems 10 have communicated this inten- ton to the coachmap, and soon after tho two gentlemen had set out, sine and the coachman drove of m a light car riage to Torpoint. On reaching the ferry they aiighted, and the coachman gave an ostler shillingS to take the car riage back 10 Trewin house. The boat man says that the couple had with them box and portmanieau. Mrs. Grant was wearing an ulster; the coachman was respectfully dressed" and not iu livery. On getting out of the boat cat gas called, and they were driven off to Devonport Southwestern station. Mrs Grant was married when shewas IS, and is now 23. Her husband is 40. She lately became possessed of a consider able fortune in her own right. The coachman is about the same age as Mrs Grant, and is said to be "a good-lookinq man." rte police have bad information Of the elopement, but up to the present time no news of the runaways has been obtained.
