Ons Wife.

CANToX, o., January For some time
past Mr. DOrrance, a Cherry street cnniec-
tioner, has had in his employ young wo-

informed him that this intimacy must
cease, and that shs intended to dismiss the

PIG IRON INTERESTS.
Lehish and SchuyIkilI Furnace Men
Oppose Tariff Reduction.

READING, January IA call for a meet
ing of pig iron and furnace men OF the
Schuylkill and the lehigh valleys, signed
by nearly all the leading furnace men, in
Guiding the Brook Iron Company, Of Birds
boxo, was issued Saturday. The meeting
is@ be held at as early a date as possible,
in New York or Philadelphia, ana will
be attended only by furnace men. The
object of the meeting is to take action
on the Tariff Commissions report lt IS
said that the Ways and Means Committee
favor reduction OF at least 81 30 To s.
per ton on pig iron. This, Henry +. E'S.
ert said to-day, would most seriously ailsc'
the iron industries in Pennsylvania. The
margin as it now is j. very small, and the
reduction OF j. per ton, Mr.. Bcckcrt says,
would either close the furnaces entirely or
cause sweeping and ruinous reduction o!
wages. Very few, ii any, have made any
money during the last year in the l.ehlgh
or Schuylkill valleys on account OF the
small profits on pig iron.

THE DANGER OF LEpROSy.

It will not do to pooh, pooh, the
danger of importing leprosy from the
Hawaiian Islands. That dread and
fearfully loathsome disease exists in
the islands in form and to an extent
and degree that might well render
our quarantine regulations as against
ships from Honolulu of the strictest
possible kind. In the first place it is
singulary contagious disease. 1t is
liable to enter our homes and be
bequcathed to our children when we
least expect it. Then it is not always
discernable to the naked eye in this
climate. The removal of the patient
from the islands often causes it to
disappear, but it is in the veins of the
patient in lurking from nothwith-
standing. 1t is there and is transmit
ted as surely as if it had broken out
to palpable observation. We have
had such evidence placed before us
that we very much fear that, if great
caution is not at this time exercised
leprosy, imported from the Hawaiian
Islands, will become one OF the
chronic disease of California, and will
do much to render our homes UNI
happy, to deteriorate our own race
and to cause immigration to shun our
city and coast. We know of scion
of noble house who had to leave
the islands because this frightful
disease was making serious inroads
upon his constitution, and who being
fast man, is now disseminating the
disease far and wide. We believe that
there are many such cases in our own
midst, and we council the geatest
caution and wisdom in dealing with
them. II. Ne,cs Letter.

ENcLAND'S POWER IN INDIA,

A cable special to the Sun from
London says: Bitter opposition is
continued against the measure pro-
viding that native tribunals in India
may try European offenders. Bright
addressed large meeting during the
week in favor of the measure, aud
was followed by Hindoo lawyer,
who spoke with such eloquence and
in such perfect and musical English
as to amaze and delight all his
hearers. There is a cloud gathering
in India, and uneasy rumors denote
growing dissatisfaction and unrest
with the attitude of the resident En-
glish toward Ripon, because Of their
arrogant hostility against social adj
vancemcnt of refined and highly
educated Indians. The late arbitrary
and tyrannous Imprisonment of
native editor for a harmless and I'M
intentional libel, and the abrupt and
unexplained refusal Of redress by II
higher tribunal at home, all tend to
produce a dangerous feeling. The
Indian pension list alone amounts to
over $30,0O0,o00 yearly, and the
drain Of taxation is already so bur-,
densome as to be of itself almost
uncomfortable. A population, on the
other hand, intelligent, educated in
English principles, and growing
enormously, is beginning to think
for itself on English principles, to
become conscious of it's power and
to recognize the gross imposition in
enclures,
