Foreign Rivalry of British Iron Goods.

For a great many years, says an English
paper, Great Britain may be said to have On.
loved a monopoly in respect of rolled wrought
iron Orders and joists, and, indeed, was u large
exporter thereof. Now, however, all this is
changed, and we find ourselves face to face with
sharp competitors in France, Germany, and
Belgium, whore the ~cheapness of labor and of
Besides this, the latter have taken care to profit
as far as possible by our past experiences, and
have erected new machinery more suitable for
the purposes in question than that which has
done duty for SO many years at home. In point
of fact, whilst we have been relying upon an
tiquated appliances calculated only for the
manipulation of Orders, etc.. Of heavy sections
our rivals in the market are able to produce
rolled Orders, joists, angles and tees of all sec
tons, from the heaviest to the lightest. Con-
siderations of this kind should have the effect of
stimulating our own manufacturers in the direc-
ton of mechanical improvements, wherein only
is there any hope of stemming the tide of foreign
competition. 1t may be well, too, 10 guard those
whom their great desire for cheapness-accept
readily low priced materials from other countries,
and overlook the quality of the metal thus sup
piled. 1t has been demonstrated over and over
again that very much of the iron imported. is so
brittle as to bear far less strain than lated
and that therefore it is essential to allow q con-
siderable margin of extra strength in its appli-
cation. OF course much depends, in the use of
wrought iron, upon the intelligence OF the de-
signer of the work, be he architect or engineer,
as to whether economy or safety shall be the
higher aim in its accomplishment. It is fortu-
nate that the present training in the professions
of architecture and engineering Is a superior
character to what it formerly wns, and that val
liable text books in reference to both are hume

Splendid Prospects of the Louisiana
Sugar Crop.

1t really seemed very discouraging for the
sugar interests of Louisiana last winter when
the foods were overwhelming vast es' ates, and
destroying the cane in large districts. The most
ardent optimist at the time could scarcely have
hoped for what is i'll sight to-day ia the sugar
districts of Louisiana. In fact, o c who would
have predicted that the outcome would reach
what it now promises to be, would be considered
an idiot.
But despite all reverses from floods, and there
is no question Tut these were very great, and
will bear heavily upon the individuals, the pros
poets to-day are for the largest crop grown in
the State since the war.
The yield thus far has been phenomenal.
Stubble is giving 1000 pounds of sugar and
plant cane $500 pounds. Two hogsheads of
sugar to the acre for the plant cane may prove
an average, unless some untOward event should
curtail the yield. The plant, notwithstanding
the warm weather of the fall, has not come to
such maturity for many years. 1t is now ripe
clear to the topmost joints, and exceedingly
rich III saccharine matter. But it had u long
growth. Throughout the winter it was checked
but little; the season was exactly right for cul-
%tivation, the rains came just when wanted, and
the cool summer months brought it to maturity.
The weather since grinding has commenced has
been excellent for field operations, and the
work of saving the crop and preserving seed is
now well advanced.
The laborers are workin; with a vim, and
there is scarcely "a sugar-house in the State that
will have its fires going by Monday morning.
On the Lower Teche the last TO mmen work
are now ready for active operations in the way
of taking OF the crop. Planters are also con-
fident and progressive, and the planting will be
much larger than last season. The richness and
large growth of the canes will also increase the
reproductive power aud lessen the cost of re-
placing the area lost on those places that were
overlooked.
That large and energetic planter, Mr.. c.. H.
Walker, of St. Mary, says that during his fifteen
years experience he has never seen such a
growth of cane in Louisiana, and has not suffi
cient words of praise to do justice to the pluck,
and enterprise of the planters in the Teche
country who suffered from the inundation of
last winter.
This great industry plays so important ii part
in the of the st tie and is SO largely
contributive to its prosperity and welfare that
each and every citizen Of the commonwealth
will hail with pleasure the splendid prospects
that are before the laborer and the capitalist-en-
gagged in it.-PicGynne, Nov. 5.

Duties of a Fireman Julicially Defined.

A curious question as TO the duties of a fire.
man at u fire has just been decided by the
Supreme Court OF Wisconsin. While a hotel
was burning in Oshkosh "A man on reaching the
scene cried out that he would ''gise five thousand
dollars to any person who will bring the BODY of
my wife out Of that building dead or alive. -
The woman was in the room on the fourth hoor
and two fremen had already tried to rescue her
but were driven back by the smoke and flames.
On the strength of the tempting offer made by
her husband a third fireman, at the eminent
peril Of his own life, made his way to where the
unfortunate woman was and succeeded ia bear
ins her dead body out of the flames. When he
claimed the reward it was refused, pom he
sued for it. The main defence to the action was
that it Was the duty of the plaintiff as a paid
fireman to rescue persons from fires and that
he was entitled To no extra reward or cumpensa-
ton for performing this du;y. The Lower
Court took this view of the law, but lite decision
is now reversed by the Supreme Court of the
State. The latter tribunal comedies that it Is
the duty OF a paid fireman TO exert himself to the
utmost. "short of rsking his own life.' to save
the property and rescue lives endangered by a
are. But 1t holds that. whatever humanity or
heroism may prompt. it is not his duty in a
legal sense to hazard his own life in order to save
that oil another person. and that AS the fireman

The Baptist Sunday School picnic took place
on Wednesday, having been postponed one day
cd account of the rain on Tuesday. The school
went by cars to Wedron, the picnic being on the
east side of Fox river. 1t was a pleasant affair,
with the exception of one terrible accident-to

on the rocks and had climbed out on limb OF q
tree growing over the edge, when the limb broke
and he fell some 25 or 80 feet. He struck on his
back apparently, in the sand, narrowly escaping
the boulders and rocks that lay around the place
he fell. When picked up he was thought not to
be seriously hurt no bones appearing broken, but
his subsequent condition was such that he re.
quired close attention, and on yesterday, after
other examinations, he was put under the infu-
cnce of chloroform, when the examination dis
