woman's influence on Social Life.

Men, as a rule, are easily attracted by 8
beautiful face, but 1t is an internal beauty
of character by which woman can exert
the greatest amount of influence. A true
minded man, though at first enamored by
the glare of personal beauty, will soon fee
the hollowness of its charms when he discov-
ers lack Of beauty in the mind. Inestima-
bly great is the influence that sweet
minded woman may WELD over those
around her. 1t is TO her, that friends would
come in season of sorrow and sickness for
help and comfort. One soothing touch OF
her kindly hand would work wonders in
the feverish child. A few words let fall
from her lips in the ear of sorrowing
sister would do much to raise the load of
grief that is bowling its victim down to dust
in anguish. The husband comes home worn
out with the pressure OF business, and feeling
irritable with the world in general; but
when he enters a cosy sitting room and
sees the blaze of the bright fire, his slippers
placed by loving hands in readiness, and
meets his wife's smiling face, he succumbs
at once to the soothing Influences which act
as balm of Gilead to his wounded spirits.

The Admission of Dakota,

The object of the Republicans in Con
gress in desiring to admit Dah IA into the
Union as a rotten borough State is evi
IDENTIFY that they hope to gain greater
political strength thereby. t is rot at all
unlikely, however, that while this antici-
patton may be realized at first, in the end
the political advantage to be gained will
be reaped by the Democrats.
Apart from the fact that the welfare
of the new State will be principally cen
tered in mining and agriculture. and that
the financial and economic teachings and
doctrines of the Republican party are di
rectly opposed to the interests of any such
community, experience has shown that
nearly ali the new States created of late
years by the Republican party for politi-
cal purposes, have proven positively dis
advantageous TO that party, and have
either become wholly Democratic, or
have at least, furnished as much strength
to the Democracy as to their opponents.
West Virginia was created solely
for the benefit of the Republicans, yet
to-day her Congressional delegation is
solidly Democratic, and, as an exchange
states, Nevada, once overwhelmingly
Republican, has now wheeled into the
Democratic line California, after a
long alteration, so far recovered its
senses as to cast its vote for General
Hancock. Colorado is deba;able ground,
and very Likely to be captured by the
Democratic column. Montana has wav-
cred in It's fidelity to either side. Oregon
can scarcely be said to belong to either
party. Thus it cannot be set down as
certain that Dakota will go to the Re-
publican party. The power of Federal
patronage in the Territories, filling all
offices with Republican partisans, and
sending out the politicians who do much
toward moulding the politics of the new
and unsettled community, is probably
the only cause that any OF the mining
aud grazing States and Territories ad-
here to party whose principles are so
Numerically opposed to their interests.
1t is truly argued that Dakota ought
not nov to be admitted for several rea-
sons. It has not a sufficient population.
It's settlements are new and crude In
short it comes fully under the designa-
ton of a rotton borough, aud there is no
reason why so meagre population, with
so few Of the elements of a conservative
political community, should be clothed
with the power and dignity of States
fifty times as great in numbers and
wealth. But if, after all, it is admitted
into the Union, the Democratic party
has no special grounds to fear its infu-
ence.

The latest suggestion regarding Polar
exploration is that a telegraph cable be
dropped as the vessel proceeds north
ward. By means of this cable, says
writer in the New York Herald, tele-
grams could be sent for days at a time
without disturbing the instruments; and
should destruction come to their ship as
sistance could be sent them and they
could be advised what TO do, stating
their positions. Whoever conceived
this idea ought to know, If he is not one
Of the great army Of cranks, that laying
the cable would be as much as the ship
could attend TO without searching for the
pole: and when she reached the ice
fields there are thirty chances in
hundred that cable-laying would come
to an end And then. the expense Of
such an undertaking would outweigh the
value Of the whole unexplOred top end
Of the earth.

nnr Iron and Steel industries.

Discussing the present condition and
future outlook of the above mentioned
industries in this country, the New York
Commercial Bulletin says: The iron and
steel trade Of this country mas enjoyed
unprecedented prosperity during the past
two years. The various products have
had a good margin of profit, and, except
where heavy losses were experienced
upon he reaction from the late extra
ordinary advance, manufacturers, dealers
and importers alike can show a very
satisfactory balance sheet. The Bessemer
steel rail mills are said to have cleared
not less than one million dollars each on
last years business; and it would be very
surprising if they did not, considering
the fact that our railway companies, in
order to "foster our infant industries. -
are taxed at the rate of about fifteen
hundred dollars for every mile of track
that is put down. Most of the
pig iron producers. manufacturers
of bar, sheet, structural iron
ETC., are understood TO have
done relatively quite as well. This pros
perity, however, seems to have led to in
creased production here and abroad. and
naturally there IS now more or less appre-
hension that future results may offset
the favorable experience of the past two
years. We learn that English manufac-
turers, not content with obtaining foot
ing here for their pig, bar, sheet and
hoop iron. etc, are now working sssidu
ously to place in the American market
their structural irons DEANS. girders and
kindred other shapes, and that they
have named prices within very small
fraction of those obtained by the home
manufacturers. 1t would thus appear
that new competition of formidable
character is to be looked for from
British makers, Notwithstanding the lib
eral protection" that is given to home
manufacturers.
These facts, continues the Bulletin
are worth more than passing notice, in
view of the existing feeling of uncertain
ty in nearly al branches of the trade
There are substantial reasons for believ-
ing that production in this country has
caught up with consumption. Evidences
of increasing competition, even from
other sources than that already mention
ed, are perceptible, and hence there is
some reason 10 apprehend an unfavorable
turn in the marzets on this side ere long
unless manufacturers are disposed to
heed precautionary signals and take in
sail The indications in this direction
are unmistakeable, and when European
merchants enter a market as competitor:
they generally mean business.
The most serious drawback in dealing
with this competition, as remarked a
the recent conference in the interest OF
an iron exchange in that city, is that oul
producers have no export outlet to speak
of, and must therefore ''shut up shop
or take the responsibility of heavy losses
in case they are hard pushed by Their
foreign competitors. These unpleasant
forecastings Of the future of the market
may not be justified by ultimate results
but, be that as it may, if they should, the
trade will be in position to experience
anew the disadvantage of having the
foreign markets put beyond their reach
through the operation of policy which
does not protect tt.
