souihern iron and Steel.
New York Trthupa


One OF the largest manufacturers OF
iron and Bessemer steel in Pennsylvania
is about 10 transfer his works to Ala.
bama. He finds there the ore, the fuel
and cheap labor, all at hand, and be as.
serts that he expects to make the manu-.
facture pay higher profits than in the
North, even after tsking into account
the cost of removal and the larger rates
of transportation in the South.
The bulletin published by the census
department last week shows the great
development of the iron and steel inter.
ests n the upper Southern states in 1890
West Virginia increased its production
from 1887 tons to l47 ,4S7 tons. THIS
state has stored away IN her mountains
more iron and coal than Pennsy lyania,
and lacks only capital to work them and
railways TO open the .av to market, to
make her as rich as her Northern neigh
Dor. Alabama, owing to the fact that
she has already outlets by railway, in
creased her production in the enormous
ratio OF 265 per cent; Tennessee, l25
per cent; Kentucky 43 per cent. A sim
gular fact In this report is that only three
states have not increased their yield OF
iron during the last ten years, one OF
which is North Carolina, notwitbstand.
ing its enormous iron deposits and low
price of labor. The simple reason Of
this Is that the Unaka and Nantahela
mountain ranges in which the iron lies
are as yet unopened by railways. Much
of the iron,bearing territory is however,
already owned by Northern capitalists,
and will some day be worked, though
now 1t is covered by the primitive for.
ests and given up to the possession oil
bears, wolves and moonshiners.
1t is not only railways that are needed
in the South to develop her mineral
resources, but practical sense in the
management Of those already built. The
charges for freight and Transportation,
being usually treble those OF Northern
roads, are calculated to deter all kinds
Of producers who must send their goods
to di' tant markets. 1t Is pretty short
sighted policy to choke off the goose
before it lays any golden eggs at all, as
our Southern neighbors probably VIII
see some day.

church Coll, ction AZ Red Cullen.

"What is the ante2" whispered REQ
Gulch miner with a single $40 gold piece
to the deacon with the collection plate
IN the Baptist church at Black Run, Col.
He was told TO contribute whatever he
chose, whereupon he said he'd chip IN
a dollar, and proceeded to take $40 in
change. The deacon softly replied that
no change was given. A struggle ensued,
the plate was upset, and the congregation
was in the act OF jumping the deacon's
claim, when the minister, an old Cali
fornian, leaned over the pulpit with a
large navy revolver and observed;
'The brethren will please take notice
that Pve got the drop on them, and
any brother who declines to go 10 his
seat or who touches any of that money
will have funeral at his house to-
morrow at p. m. Our mining friend
from Red Gulch will kindly release the
descon's throat, or he is a dead man."
The twenty dollar gold piece went TO
save the heather.

Remedies for Hydrophobia.
Chicago Tribune.

| see in the Gio0e of this city
special TO you from Baltimore
Md, giving an account of the attack o.
a bulldog, while under the influence o.
hydrophobia, upon colored girl, Mr.
Thompson and others; and as ! read such
accounts my heart goes out in sympathy
towards the sufferers, as it is 80 seldom
that they obtain any relief, but die one
of the most terrible of deaths. Yet
fully believe there are two remedies
which, if taken in time, will save nearly
all, if not every one of them. ! have
given more than twenty-five years to
the gathering up of practical and valua-
BILE items, and ] desire to give you these
two items to meet Just such difficulties
trusting that you will publish them, and
especially that they will get into the col
umns of some prominent Baltimore pa
per, and thereby reach the cases above
referred to, which must almost certainly
result in death unless one or both OF
these remedies be used. l first quote
from CusseRs MagdziRe:
"a CURE FOR HYDRoPHoBIA.
"Hydrophobia, we are told, can be
prevented. The following remedy, known
as the Goodman remedy, has been tried
with surprising success. 1t is very SIM

The technical name Of elecampane is

Hsw The Australia ssvagss Marry.
Academy.

Mr.. Howitt's account of the Kurnai
people just north Of Bass's Straighs. in
PRODUCES us TO q new set of marriage
customs. Here the rule Is elopement.
The lad and girl make love 10 one an
other without the knowledge of her pa
rents, and run away together. The
brides family, furious, go In quest Of her
and II caught and brought bsck she will
he severely punished, her mother and
brother will beat her, and her father will
even spear her through the legs. As for
the husband, whenever he returns he
mas 10 fight bis wife's male relatives.
The pair may have 10 elope two or three
times, with new pursuit and fighting, till
at last her family will grow tired OF the
fghting,and the mother will say, "Oh.
it's all right, better let him have her"
The wonderful thing is that this is not
exceptional, but the regular marriage
rite OF the tribe. The anger is not real,
and when the people are charged with
being cruel they answer that IL is not
intended cruelty, but simply to follow
an ancestral custom. The consequence
OF this Knrnai custom is a change to-
ward civilized ideas OF marriage; it is no
longer a shifting union between one
tribe and another, but real pairing by
mutual choice OF man and wife, and, TO
some extent, male descent comes with
It.
The Kurnai elopemcnt marriage show
another interesting feature. Though it
is condoDed at last by the wife's family,
the man ~ never allowed TO look at.
speak 10, or live in the same camp with
his wife's mother. This is the beat fact
yet produced in favor of the explanation
Of the custom of avoiding parents in law,
as meaning that the act Of taking their
daughter, though practically allowed,
cannot be openly agreed 10 by their &C.
knowledgine him. So deeply rooted is
this custom in Australia that 1t retains
i's hold on natives under missionary in.

"A Brabrolung. who Is q member OF
the Church Of England, was one day talk

ing at some little distance, and l called
TO her. Suffering at the time from cold,
I could not make her hear, and said 10
Brabrolung. Call Mary, l want to speak
TO her. He took no notice whstever,
but looked vacantly on the ground.
spoke TO him again sharply, but still
without his responding. then said,
What do you mean by taking no notice

wiie's brother, who was at little dis

CorroS has been found TO do well in
almost any ordinary soil, though the
alluvial or rich cotton lands stand FIRST
on the list, yielding from about one to
two bales per acre. The next are the

the crop demands for satisfactory results

ance, and entire freedom from the live

The Queen Never Forpets.

The fidelity of the Queen to her favor.
ties has often been the subject ofremark.
She never forgets. You will recollect. |
dare say. how, in the face of undisgui.e ed
opposition on the part of the German
Court, Her Majesty promoted the love
match of the Princess Frederica of Ham
over with her fathers Secretary. the
Baron Won Pawel Rammengen. A few
days ago the devoted couple lost their
baby glrl, an infant, who bore the names
OF Victoria Georgiana, Beatrice Maud
Anne. The illness of the poor fragile
little babe was so sudden and severe as
to necessitate the urgent summoninp of
clergyman to perform the rite of chris
tening. On the last day OF March the
poer little body was "laid i the earth. !"
and in the manner of the sepulture one
traced the hand of the Queen. If ever
her Majesty signified her favor in more
than royal way, it was when TO quote
the Court Circular) "the coffin was con-
yeyed from Hampton Court Palace and
deposited in the Albert Memorial
Chapel" The funeral ceremony was
performed by the Dean of Windsor-tbe
Queens chaplain-assisted by the Canon
in residence in the presence of the Prin.
cess Beatrice and other distinguished
mourners. The service concluded in
the vault below the chapel, whittier the
coffin had been borne.
