SOME one in Pittsburgh, having made
4 statement cf the actual cost of the
manufacture of Dessemer steel rails,
Mr.. Swank, the secretary of the iron
and steel association, wrote to Mr.. Car
negie, OF the Edgar Thomson works,
concerningit it. Mr.. Swank is the man who
communicated to Mr.. Kelley the facts
which he detailed in his speech in Con-
gress to show that the steel rail manufac
turers were not making too much money
at sixty dollars a Ton; and Mr.. Swank
was naturally nervous over statement
that the cost of production was only
thirty-two dollars. Mr.. Carncgia's an
swer is not Of character to
re.assure him, since he does not
say anything about the cost OF
steel rails, but contents himself
with declaring that the assertion that
they cost but thirty-two dollars g was
not made by anyone in the business CT
familiar with it - and that it was &" a
pure invention Of IN irresponsible man."
AL of which may be true, but Mr.. Car
negie, being a responsible man, apparent

public, would have been more satisfac.
tory and interesting if he had stated
just what the cost of steel rails is at his
works. People who know that Besse-
mer pig iron does not cost twenty five
dollars ton, aid that ten tons of it are
converted into steel ingots in twenty
minutes, and that the cost Of rolling
the ingots into rolls is only two dollars
ton, will not find that thirty-,wo dol.
lars is much too low figure at which to
put the cos: Of making rails.

Pots and Pans.

Utensils for boiling purposes have undergone little modification in shape from the remotest times to the present day. The reason for this is not far to seek. Water heated in 8 round vessel with upright sides would soon boil over, whereas when treated in pot whose sides incline inward toward the top, the bubbling waves of the liquid have tendency to 8 common center, and usually waste themselves in conflict with each other. Thus Ithe caldron, kettle and saucepan have in all ages and in all nations much similarity in form. With regard to material, no doubt the earliest pots and pans consisted of such natural objects as adapted themselves to the require ments of cooking, as the gourd, pipkin, cocoanut shell, etc., and among savage tribes these are still employed for the purpose. In course of time vessels of clay came into service, and afterward metal was brought into acquisition. The old Egyptians had pots precisely like the modern saucepan, and their larger utensils were furnished with the welI-known ears and feet which may even yet be seen in some of the home steads of our country. Shakespeare makes the "secret, black and midnight hags" in Macbeth use caldron of this description, and it will be remembered that the savory mess with which the more respectable Meg Merrilles appeased the hunger of worthy Dominic Samp- son was dished from like vessel. That these articles were common in China in dim antiquity, and that the Chinese had 8 superior method of mending them, can surprise no one, and is what we have expected to find in people who seem to have forestalled nearly every invention, great and small, that was ordinarily sup posed to have first seen the light in other lands than theirs.- T5omas J.

The Discouraged Man.

A newspaper once contained an ad- vertisement for man to fill a certain position, which concluded with No discouraged man need apply" There was deep worldly wisdom in this, for Encouragement is terrible drawback in fighting life's battle. The discour- aged man is defeated in advance. He carries failure about with him; he faints when he needs most to be strong; he falters where decision is most needed; he halts where he ought to hurry for ward; he cannot stand up under the strain and burden of the racs. It is hard that it should be so-harder still that so little real sympathy is felt for Encouragement. The world does not need such man, and has little mercy for him; and so he falls into the ranks of the unsuccessful, while he of high hope, who is yet new in the struggle, who has not supped the bitter cup of disappointment and found out that all is vanity and vexation, strides before him and is accepted where the much tried man fails. There is something contagious in buoyant, happy, ener- getic spirit, which carries those who come in contact with it away, and suc- cess is as often the result of this strong animal force as of perseverance and con- tinued effort. All the experience in the dworld will not carry the man of dee Encouragement successfully through an enterprise.

money to pay wages. Money mus be gold or redeemable in gold, say economists, and the government. having no gold, can pay no wages; but, we reply, the government holds millions of fertile acres in trust for the people and their prosperity.
 Why rot set men to work developing the national resources, and give them in exchange for their government cer- tiicates, called dollars, and make these paper dollars legal tender for every thing, ''as the professedly gold based pa- per dollars issued by the banks. These certifcates of labor would then be re- deemable in flour and iron and coal, oE anything else that the holders may de- sire. In fact they would be money. We can we'll understand that if these government dollars were issued glatui- tously they would be worth nothing. This proposed national currency would in reality monetize itself as it was is- sued, dollar after dollar, for each bill would be at cnce an evidence of pro duction, and medium of further ex- change, issued for value received and not on the evidence Of indebtedness as every bank note is. True these paper dollars would not be absolute value but neither is gold absolute value, only he widely accepted symbol of value. Intrinsic value, so-called, is more or less de1usion. All values are merely relative.
 In this nineteenth century absolutism, superstition and slavery have been put upon trial, found guilty, and con- demnsd to die the death. In America at this hour gold is the criminal in the dock, the most gigantic prisoner ever held to trial at the bar of humanity. The felon has in the past corrupted 10000 keepers, and cast into the mire the Populations of hundred once up- right judges or legislators In every bank parlor, in many an editors sanctum, the professors chair, in the halls of every legislature and even in the pull pits of inrumerable temples, gold has merct naries more faithful than many patriots, but in vain will be the struggle agalnst the rights of man. The golden age is indeed passing away once more into the night of fsble.-NasondI Stdndord.

the Indians displayed many roughly
carved ornaments of silver, which
they said were taken from the mine
in solid blocks. Several years ago
Mr.. James Callan received informa-
ton that the mine was To-
Gated on his farm, and he i'm
mediately set to work to dis
cover it, and has spent much time,
labor and money in his vain search.
Learning these facts, Colonel
Shorter, Captain Turner, Lawyer
Clemens, and others of Rome, Geor-
gia, sent to the Indian nation for an
Indian named Holland, who was
supposed to know all about it. He
soon arrived, and, with the party of
gentlemen came down to Mr.. Cal
