Iron n Tennessee.

1t has been claimed that iron can
be made at a lower cost in Tennes-
see and Alabama than anywhere
else in the United States, on ac-
count OF the juxta- position OF easily
mined ore and coal, both Of good
quality, and the cheapness OF labor
and the great demand for iron that
comes from the rapid extension of
our railroad system make the present
a most favorable time for proecuting
this branch OF manufacturing in the
states referred to-St Louis Repub-
lican
Not ''claimed" but proven, IL you
please. Iron was made at Alabama
and Tennessee furnances from 1876
to 1879 at an average cost OF $ll
per ton. The cost is now less than
$l3; whereas the same quality OF
pig costs on the furnace banks in
Ohio about SIC; in Michigan $lS,
and in Pennsylvania SO to $40. II

A COW was killed at Franktown,
New, recently who was not only full
of honors and of years, but whose
stomach contained large quantity
of nails, bits of glass, bones, a piece
of gold, and various other rare and
costly articles. She resembled a
junk shop which had been estab-
lished after years of accumulation in
cowhide tent. The articles were
all worn smooth by friction with
heavy consignments Of hay which
the beast was constantly receiving.
Notwithstanding the handling OF
the brio a-brac above mentioned,
her teeth were perfectly sound, as
she had never been addicted to the
use of tobacco in any form. The
indications are, however, that she
had been boarding at the back door
OF drug store or a saloon, where
some facetions wag probably rung
in an occasional bottle or case OF
hardware on the unwary beast.

A Smallnny RAmAdv.

A correspondents of the Stockton
(Cal. } Herald writes as follows: 81
herewith append a recipe which has
been used, to my knowledge, in
hundreds Of cases. 1t will prevent
or cure the smallpox, though the
pittings are filling. When Jenner
discovered cowpOx in England the
world of science hurled an avalanche
of lame uron his head, but when
the most scientific school OF medi-
cine in the world-that of Paris
published this recipe as a panacea
for smallpox it passed unheeded.-
1t is unfai-ing as fate, and conquers
in every instance. 1t is harmless
when taken by a well person. 1t
will also cure scarlet fever, Here
is the recipe as / have used it, and
cured my children of scarlet fever,
and it cured the smallpox when
learned physicians said the patient
must die: Sulphate of zine, one
grain; foxglove (digita'is), one
grain; half a teaspoonful of sugar
mix with two tablespoonfuls of
water, Take a spoonful every hour.
Either disease will disappear in
twelve hours. For a child, smaller
doses, according to age. If counties
would compel their physicians to
use this there would be no need for
pest-houses. If you value advice
and experience, use this for that
terrible disease.

A Delicate Matter

In asking advice from others you
lay yourself open to the risk Of
hearing some unpalatable truths; sc
don't be in hurry to place your.
self in such a position. There are
various matters in life upon which
advice should never be asked; but
if you do ask it, be prepared for the
consequences. Mediate long and
seriously before you ask advice OF
a friend in regard to the merits OF
anything you have written for pub
lication. You may have oonoocted
good thing, or you may not-and
ii may be hard for your adviser to
be candid and truthful. He does
not like to hurt your feelings, and
he may be equally unwilling to tell
an untruth. If you feel compelled
TO seek an opinion in such q mat
ter as this, you ought to come under
bonds not to take offense, let
your friends judgment be as it may.
The advice of an experienced vet
eran, who knows what it is to deal
With publishers and editors, may be
very valuable; and, if followed, it
may save you from much mortifica-
tion afterward. But under no Dir.
cumstances ask adYice from those
with wham you have no claim. es-
peclally in matters which may in
volve much trouble. Public men
arc often annoyed in this way by
people who, because they have little
to do themselves. have no adequate
idea of the value of a busy mans
time

A senator known for his judicial
and moderate temperament said
last night that in his opinion both
parties were going all TO pieces.
"While," said he, "the senators
speak much more hatefully OF one
another within their own party line
than they do Of their opponent, 1
have never seen a time when there
was so little esprit da corps The
fact is there are no distinctive prin-
clip es left to either party. Politics
have degenerated into mere person
al intrigues. If the south breaks
up, as now seems likely, it will be
impossible to keep the two parties
together much longer."-N. Y. Post.

Sir Walter Scott wrote the follow
ing to a young man in regard to
making literature his profession
"Will you excuse my oferinga a piece
of serious advice; whatever pleas
ure you may find in literature, be
ware of looking 20 it as a profes-
sion, but seek that independence
to which every one hopes to attain
by studying the branch of industry
which lies most within your reach
In this case you may pursue your
literary amusements honorably and
happily, butif you ever have to look
to literature for an absolute and
necessary support, you must be de
graded by the necessity OF writing
whether you feel inclined or not
and besides must suffer all the mis-.
cries OF precarious and dependent
existence"

There is no longer any doubt
that new political movement, sim
liar in all essentials ito the republi
can resurrection in Virginia, is on
foot in Georgia. Its platform has
already been promulgated, and The
first of a series of caucuses has
been held. The nature of the plat
form is not such as to invite any
very serious discussion unless a
double meaning is to be attached to
the language of some of the planks;
but the complexion of the caucus
shows that the new movement is TO
be in the interest ofthe republican
party, and that it is to be helped
along while it is teething by sup
plies of Federal pap. All this is
perfectly clear. There is no at
tempt on the part Of the gentlemen
who have concluded TO act in con
cert with the republican party in
Georgia to conceal their purpose.
That purpose is, by the aid of their
own personal popularity, together
with a few little offices here and
there, to carry over to the republi
can party Il sufficient number of
those who have heretofore acted
with the democrats TO defeat the or
ganized democracy at the polls
