An Old Tradition.

Not long since a friend, who ia a
Jew, gave to me some of the oil time

bsen preserved, and handed down,
from sire to sou, since the Gays of the
Exoius-raditions which mingle with
the first lessons from mother to child.
Here is one, IS l remember it, which
l deem worthy o. preservation. It
shows Us how the faithful OF that old
people seek to iDculcste al abiding
isitn 10 the works Of Jehovah. The
story is Of Moses
That greai prophet, the old rabbis
say, one day heard voice from
heaven commanding him 70 ascend

He obeyed; and, upon reaching the
clOud-oapped summit, be found him.

Being. who asked him if he was en-
tirely satisfied with the way and man
ner in which the world WAS governed.

'Thou art the leader of my chosen
people, and I would tha! thou should
be enlightened"
In the midst of the Divine speech
Moses CHANGED to look down upon
the plain. At the foot OF the noun
tain was spring of pure fresh water,
where he saw man In armor dis

preached, and took hia place at the
spring. He saw the purse and took
it up, and upon finding it filed with
gold, and discovering no possible
owner in sight, he put it in his bosom
and went away.
Following the youth came q gray

fountain, who, having quenched bis
thirst. sat down 10 rest, and while be
thus sat the warrior who had lost his
purse returned to seek it in that
place, where he knew he must have

he had seen it. The latter swore he had
not, and called upon heaven to bear
witness to his honor; but the loser
would not believe hin. The old mans

Depression in the Iron Trade.
New York Tribune, Nov. 90.

The iron business, by some consider
cred the best barometer of trade, is in
condition that the Iron and SeeI
Bulletin describes as zone of marked
and increasing depression. That paper
thinks that in the near future other
industries must be iniuriously affected,
and lower wages will be paid for labor.
SOME large establishments have stop
ped work already, and others contem-
plate the same course. Contracts were
made last week for 40 600 tons of steel
rails at $40 per tom last November the
average price was SOL so; the average
for TIE whole of the year 1880 was
S67 so, and the lowest monthly average
recorded at any time during the ex.
IRENE depression of 1877 and 1878 was
$1,000. With iron rails quoted al S43
and No. pig iron at S25 so, and Eng
fish steel rail at $50, it is evident that
he iron business is not in satisfactory
position.

The New York Herald is of the opin-
ion that the announcement of the clos
ing of the Bessemer steel works in the
west is only political dodge on the
part Of the manufacturers TO frighten
congress out of the notion CT reducing
the tariff. 1t thinks that the iron and
steel Industries of the country are over
protected, and that it is curious they
should threaten to shut up shop while
they are making FL much money.
The Herald, being in favor Of free trade
will no, believe that there is any dan,
ger to be apprehended to the manu-
featuring interests of the country from
the adoption of that policy, and would
not believe it until it should see its nc.
tons of revenue reform reduced to
practice. Steel rails are now manu-.
featured and sold here from ten to fif

CHRISTIAN county, Illinois, is rapidly
acquiring a national reputation % Il
locality where crime of the most brutal
and atrocious character tlourishes to a
degree scarcely credible. Only a short
time ago Mics Emma Bond, a school
teacher, was the victim OF an outrage
Undesirable in its horror, which near
ly caused her death, and from the
effects of which she can never recover.
Now comes from Iana, in Christian
county, the recital of a similar deed
perpetrated upon friendless and sim
ple-minded girl named Lena ZInn. The
halfway work done by the mob at
Taylorville in the case OF Montgomery
and Pettis, who were taken from the
jail, partly lynohed, and then returned,
seems to have served rather as an en-
couragement than terror to mis-
creants of that class; and it would not
be at all surprising If the next exploit
in the lynching line in Christian county
would prove more effective. 1t certainly
seems as though the regular course o.
law and justics did not meet the de
mands of the situation.

Wise Counsel From Herbert Spence r

In a newspaper interview in which
Herbert Spencer gave his first impres
sions OF the United States and Ameri-
can people, this eminent philosopher
remarked that the Americans are too
ready to tolerate various small inter
ferences which they ought to resist. He
considered interference with personal
liberty great danger in this country.
be says: cit is this easy going readi-
ness to permit small tres passes because
1t would be troublesome, or profitless,
or unpopular to oppose, which leads to
the habit ofacquiescence in wrong, and
the decay Of free institutions. These
can be maintained only by citizens each
OF whom is instant to oppose illegiti-
mate act, every assumption of suprem-
acy, every official excess of power,
however trivial it may seem. 1t is only
by incessant watchfuiness that they
can be prevented. AS one of your
earlier statesmen said, The price of
liberty ia eternal vigilance But it is
far less against foreign aggressions up
on national liberty that this vigilance
Is required than against the insidious
growth of domestic interferences with
civil liberty" All this reminds us for
cloly and directly of the work of the
National Defense Association, and OF
the motto on its seal. Eternal vigil
lance is the price of liberty" has been
Its watchword from the start. It's e.
fort all along has been to encourage
the very sentiment which Herbert
Spencer says the American people are
lacking. He sees trouble ahead for us
unless the spirit of liberty is reawaken-
