THE way in which Alabama pig iron is
being Landed in Pennsylvania, the hot
house of high tariiism, is causing great
CONSERVATION among the dealers in the
Keystone state. Pennsylvania pig iron
is quoted at $3.50 in Philadelphia, and
the manufacturers aver they cannot nahe
profit at these prices. But iu the face
Of this statement comes the southern
dealers offering their material at $3.50
per ton, which. deducting the freight,
leaves them but $12, and still they say
their profit is 81 r ton. According to
these figures The Pennsylvania dealer only
realizes $3.50 on each and every ton of
pig iron, and he spends his time extOl'ing
the beauties of high tariff But the old
cry of free trade iron" and more tariff'
will not avail him now. 1t is American
and not English iron that is stepping on
his toes. No wonder that Pennsylvania
is bitterly opposed to the south.

Origin of Painting the Town Red


How is politics in Harrisburg asked
Billy Welsh, the minstrel manager, of Il
Tel graph reporter.
Red hot" answered the reporter,
both parties have painted the town red -
Mr. Welsh remarked: That's an odd
expression-p painting the town red. Dc
you know where it originatedf Well, III
ten you. On my last tour through the
country with Calender's MINISTRIES "A
yeer ago or more-Ihad as advance agent
a man named Campbell. Campbell was d
genius at advertising and never permitted
rival to get ahead of him. One day in
Buffalo | said Campbell, ] hear that
Barlow and Wilson are covering my bills
with their paper; want that stopped" !
told him that he would strike them al
Adrain. Mich, and when next saw him
he had huge bundles of bills ready for
shipment to Adrian. All were printed in
bright red. What are you going 10 do
l asked. 4 am gong up to Adrian &c
paste these bills over Barlow and vii,
sons and on every dead wall in that
place. | am going to paint the tow n red,
and he left. When we got to Adrian il
looked as though it was on fire, so thor
ougbly had Campbell done his work
That expression, painting the town red,
was so comic that the colored minstrel:
caught on to it, aud whenever there was
any excitement or anybody got parlicu
larly loud, they always said somebody
was painting the town red OF course i
spread and is now in use by everybody

Lost Faith in Fhysic ans.

There are innumerable instances where
cures have been effected by scovill's sar
saparilla, or blood and liver syrup, for al
diseases of the blood, when they had been
2iyenover by their physicians. 1t is one o.
the best remedies ever offered to the public
and as it is prepared with the greatest
care, as specific, for certain diseases, il
is no wonder that it should be more eff
fectual than hastily written and carelessly
prepared prescriptions. Take this medi,
