COysOLlnArING IRON INTERESTS,

The consolidation of iron interests in
few hands is said to be going on
throughout the country, especially at
the South, much more rapidly than
even railroad or telegraph consolidation.
All the iron companies of st. Louis,
says an exchange, recentlyunited in one
great syndicate that will have complete
control of that market. Similar syndi-
Gates are reported in Tennessee, and at
Birmingham, Alabama.
In the former State the Southern State
Works, with capital of $780, 900,
owned by number of English capital
lists, have sold out to the Tennessee
company. The latter has now q capital
ofS5, 200, 600, is the owner of these large
blast furnaces, already built, of G0,00o
acres of mineral lands, and various saw
mills, brick works, &c. 1t will increase
its output to 100000 tons annually.

ANNALS PANTS.

| Miss ANNA DICKINSON IS now enter
tanning the public in pants.
ANNA has had protraeted misgivings
lie has had serious misgiviugs about
how the pants would fit her.
Anna has been attitudinizing in pri-
waite for some months past for the pur-
pose of adjusting those pants to her per-
son and her person to the pants. The
cruel public had the i'll manners to an
ticipate thai her Hamlet in pants would
be a very lean and eonsumptive look
ing parsonage who would be distressed
to keep his mSntilla In place. Hence
Annals embarrassment aboutappearing
in public on the stage, in equipments
for which she might not have natural
parts, and would give her an akimbo
and ungraceful attitude by a trouble
some bagging at the knees.
But ANNA is brave. And ANNA is
spunky. ANNA is tenacious of purpose.
And ANNA has appeared.
Contrary to the prevailing expecta-
tions, and to the discontinue of the
cruel critics, ANNA'S Hamlet is said to
be very robust piece of work. The
public is delighted. They have looked
her over and pronounce the fit good
one. Reporters have stared her in the
face from under the foot lights and find
no flaw, and that settles it.
ANNA has undoubtedly made a hit.
When she can so adjust herself as to
turn the reporterspeneil into wellround-
I'd periods of appreciation, and divert
him from his preconeeived notion that
ANNA was only fair game, into 50
respectful criticism that he entirely
OverlOOks the pants, ANNA may indeed
he said to have triumphed.
When ANNA last appeared at our
opera house and attempted to entertain
q little audience with dry, inanimate
recital of a too utter product of her own
pen, there was very strained effort on
the part of our people to bring them
selves to appreciate the "actuality ofthe
thingneSs of the here" rs ANNA pre-
scented it. There was distressing SOM
nolency in the appearance Of her
audience. Something was lacking. We
are now assured that it was the pants.
If ANNA will return-in pants-she will
draw.

TUE TRUCE OF THE Trunk LINES.
1t appears that the agreement be-

or with the railroads.

the commission may call for informal

Meanwhile the tariff which has been
announced will continue in force until
the commission act, and all differences
arising on this are to be arbitrated.
The Commissioners have not been
chosen, but it is stated that they will
probably be selected from the bench.
1t may be as difficult a matter to agree
upon them as upon the rates oftariff.
The passenger rates do not seem to be
much of a question, and have been re-
stored TO the old rates.
The war began in May last, and in
volved East bound freight and passen-
ger rates both ways. The competition
has been unusually fierce, and has
lasted longer than any other rate war
in history. Commissioner FINK esti-

VACCINATION.

And now comes Mr.. HENRY BERGH,
President of the Society for the Proven
ton Of Cruelty to Animals, and in the
very thick of the smallpox scare, utters
a furious blast against the practice. OF
vaccination, denouneing it as the source
of death and disease; poisoned spring
whose loathsome flood changesthe ruby
stream Of life into filthy current, bear
ing into healthy bodies the germs Of
consumption, scrofula, cancers and other
diseases which dwarfthe stature of men;
I'LL their lives with gloom and suffering,
and actually imperil the existence Of
the human family! and 50 on through
nine pages of the last North american
Rerieac. And after all this, he tells Us
that vaccination affords no protection
whatever against smallpox, either BY
way ofprevention or mitigation, but Of
fers its subjects Us more ready victimSto
the fell disease.
five are to trust these strong and
evidently sincere utterances, there never
was snnh a Lnrrid aud insane .delusion
as that which has seized manNlnu siuce
the days Of JENNER, and which yet
holds 50 firmly on the medical faculty
} that dlsbeliever is afraid even to whis-
per his doubts, and which causes men to
20 on, blindly submitting their bodies
and those Of their tender offspring, to
| pollution and life-draining disease.
Indeed, if we may credit the facts and
figures of Mr.. B., the medical faculty OF
to-day are either wretched quacks, who
scourye mankind with their ignorance,
or guild of knaves who purposely dis
tribute poison, that they may reap a
harvest from human suffering and in
trinity. And yet we DO not believe
many will be disturbed by his fervid
rhetoric, or readily lose faith in the
teaching and experience ola century,
that vaccination is a reasonably sure
safeguard against the worse effects o
smallpox, or DO persuaded, that when
merely local in its irritation, any con
stitutional malady is "likely to follow.
| 1t is doubtless true, aS said by Mr..
BERGH, that some of the most unclean
diseases may be, and are, propagated by
incubation, but this only renders ex-
IRENE caution and care necessary in pro-
curing vaccine virus, even to the ex-
tent of governmental supervision Of its
sources and mode of preparation.
1t is cruel in Mr.. BERGH to raise these
doubts now when smallpox is some
what epidemic, and faith in the virtue
/ of vaccination is so needful for the COM
fort and peace ofthe mind of the peo-
pie; but he seems goaded to madness,
not so much by the folly and suffering
of humanity, but because one DIR. PAS
TEAM is actually trying incubation on
the animal kingdom, and that is tres
passing on Mr. BERGH's preserves.

RAILROAD passes constitute one Of

have an idea that while free pass is u
good and desirable thing from person.
nj point of view, it Is a bad thing in the
abstract, and as such ought to be re-
pressed, or at least restricted rs to its
use within narrow limits. They are ac-
cordingly endesvoring to determine to
what particular extent and in what par
ticular manner the process ofrepression
shall be directed. This Is an undertake
ing which does greater credit to the
disintereStcdness than to the originality
of the Iowa Legislator, and it is one
which is hardly likely to have any
practical result. There will have to be

A Palmetto Grove.
brunswick (Ga.,) Cor. Buffalo Courier.l

brunswick (Ga.,) Cor. Buffalo Courier.]
We soon enter palmetto grove in the
midst of the widest surrounding. AS
we passed among these remarkable
trees, interspersed with the luxurious
growth of other semi-tropical plants and
shrubs, with wide spreading pine and
live oak forests as a background, I
thought that [ had reached the most
novel of all the scenes of a life thus far
spent in travel. I fear that l shall not
be able to give you fair conception Of
the appearance of the palmetto tree in
its various stages of growth and develop
ment until it becomes the graceful tree
of fifty feet, with trunk as straight as
an arrow. When it starts as a stalk a
foot long it is surrounded with leaf
like small ragged-edged palm leaf fan,
with several blade-like leaves a foot or
two long and an inch wide shooting up
from the root. Hundreds of acres dense
ly overgrown with these young plants
may be seen along this road. When
several years old and three or four feet
high they have the precise appearance
of a huge growing, pineapple with its
tUft of green, blade-like leaves at the
top. Until the tree attains height of
several feet it's body is embraced with
successive layers Of regularly inter
laced growth or shuck, which in color
and appearance closely resembles the
pineapple. After a certain age they
lose this, the trunk assuming a firm,
smooth surface, which first makes its
appearance next the ground, gradually
extending to the top as the tree natures.
Another popularity of this tree is that it
attains it's full size in diameter when it
becomes two or three feet high, retain
ing it's full size as it slowly swells up
ward. In the grove through which we
were now passing there were hundreds
of these trees thirty, forty, and fifty feet
high, about ten inches in diameter and
straight as an arrow, their trunks being
smooth and white and of the same I'M
varying size from the ground to the top.
The slender green stalks which consti
t1lte the only branches these trees have
start out in a circle from the stubbed
tops, each being about two feet long and
terminating in fan-shaped leaf, all
bending gracefully and giving the whole
the appearance of green umbrella. The
trees which we passed in such vast
numbers were of various heights and in
all stages of development; making a
novel scene indeed. The forty five miles
of our trip were entirely through wilder
ness, from which the choicest timber
had been culled.
