Reference is frequently made to the
decay Of American shipping, and that
while we have so much to send abroad
and briug SO much from foreign
ports, yet the carrying trade is done
so largely by others. That certainly
is true. But then it is equally true
that Americans are largely interested
in these vessels which being built
abroad cannot carry the American
flag.

instances where. within six months,
lots have doubled in value, and in

four and five times their first cost.

within the last six months" says
an exchange, t'the use of steel nails
has increased largely. They came
into the market about year ago and
found an immediate sale. One by
one the leading nail companies of
Massachusetts took up this line of
manufacture until all now produce
steel nails regularly. No change in
machinery was required. The knives
for cutting the steel plates dull much
quicker than on iron work, but othe--
wise the cost of manufacture is not
increased beyond the first cost of the
steel bloom as compared with pig or
scrap iron which is used in making
iron nails. At first the extra cost of
steel nails was 15c. per pound, or
81 80 per key, but it has now been
reduced to 81 extra. The great ad-
vantage of the steel nails is that they
can be driven into hard wood as
easily as an iron nail will go into a
pine board. We have seen steel nails
driven into white oak knot without
bending. Nothing else is now used
in laying hard wood floors, as they
require no boring, but are driven
readily. For all kinds of hard finish
they are especially adapted, and as SO
much hard finish is now employed
their use must be on the increase.
They are also used largely by car
builders, and box-makers are increas-
ing their demand for them. Box
makers have been using the better
grades OF iron nails, as they desire
those which can be drawn and re-
driven. The steel nail meets this
requirement better than any other"

The Geographic columns of the

The Geographic columns of the
daily papers are weighted with &C
counts of thework of mobs or lynch
ers, and perusal of them might
cause one to suspect that the people
of the United States gloried in the
work of hanging some one as daily
pass time. It is fact that good
many men are being hanged by So
called mobs, and it is also fact that
the men hanged are uniformly such
as the country can very easily spare.
No one who attends to his own bust
ness and does not make an especial
effort to play the role of reprobate
need have any fear OF mobs. They
are usually composed of men who are
law-abiding except they believe that
when man commits an especially
brutal and heartless crime he should
be punished for it, and that, too, with
some sort of dispatch. The tendency
to invoke lynch law to punish the
more fragrant crimes against society
should attract the attention of legis-
tors They can check it very easily
by providing for the more speedy and
certain punishment of criminals
The proverbial delays of the law are
responsible for the frequency with
which resort to lynch law is made
It is not just that the most depraved
of criminals may put off the trial of
their cases term after term of court,
with an excellent chance OF finally
escaping without any punishment
whatever, or with sentences that in
the light of the enorrnity of their
ofenses seem only heartless mocker-
les. The people have wearried Of
this kind of justice and they want
none of it in the cases where the
steamer sort ought to be administer
ed. The result is they are forming a
habit of taking the matter into their
own hands, and they will probably
continue to do so until the laws are
so changed that when a man is guilty
of brutal murder aud other crimes
deserving severe punishment, his
punishment at the hands of the law
shall be made certain and adequate.
The reason for these lynchings, now
SO common, lies in the defects of the
law, and the latter must beremedied,
if the former are TO be abated.

Is your Life worth q pollar2

Perhaps that seems high price for
it, considering how poor your blood
Is, and how your whole system is
Frustrated, debilitated, and enfeeblcd.
People have been heard TO say, under
such circumstances, that they would
not give the TOSS Of a copper for the
choice between life and death. But
when it comes to actually drawing
near thegrave, a man naturally draws
back, and says he does not want to
die. Life is very precious, and even
to a broken.down man it is worth
saving.
One dollar will buy a bottle Of
Br0vw's Iron BiiterS. That one dol.
lar may start you on the road from
misery to recovery. A man must
take avery mean view ofhimselfwho
is not willing to invest that much in
making one serious effort to rescue
himself from deadly debility, and to
step into the enjoyment OF solid
health. ByoaN'S Iron BfitefS vital

shun all men? Shut ourselves up within
the narrow limits OF sell, and imagine we

ment and thought, has Ito Police Gatttte
and other papers Of like character. Would
It be wise, because Of this TACT, to block up
all the great avenues Of knowledge which
the press has opened up and placed within
easy reach Of the people Of all classes and
conditions. It Is a well known fact that q
great many OF the books which adorn the
shelves oil our Sunday School libraries are
far from what they ought to be, and more
Questionable in point Of tone than come Of
the plays which the reverend gentleman
has denounced. Truth, 1t Is said, Is
stranger than fiction. Now because OF this,
will Mr.. Hite, in his forthcoming talk on
books, ETC., denounce as vicious the well
thumbed volumes OF Walter Scott and the
writings OF like novelists? One might go
farther and say that all ministers OF the
Gospel are not orthodox, nor all members
OF the church Christians, yet 1t would be
far from Just to condemn the whole Chris.

admit with feelings Of regret that the
drama Ia far from what 1t ought to be, and
that many OF the plays now being rendered
have a tendepcy to lower rather than i'm
prove the morals OF those who go to see
them. While admitting this, I do not for
an instant lose sight OF the fact that there
are many others 80 pure In diction, 80 lofty
in sentiment, 80 elevating in thought, so
grand in all that is good, true and noble,
that all can attend and come away with
spirits revived, high resolves strengthened
and in every way better prepared to meet
the difficulties Of life.
I believe the stage properly conducted to
be great moral educator aud trust the time
Is not far distant when the present antag-
onistic attitude Of the church towards the
stage will be changed to that Of friendship,
when the abuse now being hurled at 1t
from behind the pulpit will be directed to
lis evils.
In conclusion I desire to say that while
differing with Mr.. Hite upon the question |
of the stage, yet appreciate the worthy |
motives which prompt him to undertake
the particular work with which he is now
engaged and with many others wish him
God speed.
