MANKATo IRON AND NOVELTY Works.


MANKATo IRON AND NOVELTY Works. {
At a meeting of the board of directors,
held July 25th, 1884, for the purpose Of con-
sidering the present condition and future
outlook of the Novelty Works the conclusion
WIS reached that the time has come when, if
there is to be any success in carrying on the
business, some plan must be adopted to
place the business upon a more substantial
basis.
The limited amount OF capital precludes
the idea of successfully operating the bust
ness adopted, or of building up a business
that will either remunerate the stock hold
ers or be even self sustaining.
Now, for the purpose of devising some
plan by which more capital can be bought in,
or of placing it in the hands of those who are
willing to invest their means and energies
in pushing the business, it is deemed advis-
able to call the stockholders together for a
special meeting.
AS the enterprise was inaugurated more in
the interest of the city than for expected
profits to the stockholders, desire is natur-
ally felt to sustain the works, so as to rebound
to the credit of the city.
Therefore, you are earnestly requested to
meet at the city hall on Wednesday evening,
July 80, 1884, at s o'clock, for the purpose
of such consultation.
This appeal is directed especially to the
smaller stockholders-the larger stockholders
viii more likely be present, being prompted
by their interests and it is desirable aud
necessary that all should be present, for with
out full attendance no action will be taken
BY order of BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

ENGLISH TOLERATION.

The persistent refusal of the English
house of commons to allow Mr.. Brad
laugh to take his cath recalls the oppo-
sition which the late Baron Lionel Roths-
child so long encountered, only to tri-
umph at last. The case was stronger
in favor of Rothschild, for instead of be-
ing a persistent" agitator like Brad
laugh, he represented the conserva-
tism of capital as the type of the great
money kings of Europe. Rothschild
was first elected to the house of COM
mons by the city of London in 1847, but
esigned his seat when the house of lords
rejected the Jews bill and stood again,
and was once more elected. In 1850
he offered to take the oaths, but refusing
to be sworn son the true faith of a Chris
tian," he was refused seat. He sub
mitted to the rejection and sat in one of
the seats allotted to strangers, but his
Jewish associate, Mr.. David Salomans,
being elected in 1851, stood strictly upon
his rights, and, though withdrawing for
a time, took his seat to test the question.
The house allowed Mr.. Salomans to vote,
and even to make a speech, but though
refusing to withdraw on the request of
the speaker after the motion against him
was carried, he yielded when the sergeant
alarms touched him on the shoulder.
The result of all this agitation was that
Lord John Russell's bill removing jew
ish disabilities was passed by the house
of commons in 1858. Baron Rothschild,
after being several times refused seat,
was admitted in that year, and the stig-
ma of Christian bigotry was soon re-
moved from both branches of the nation
al legislature.

A Jack-Tar Spider.
Letter IN Portland Press.]

Letter IN Portland Press.J
I took large spider from his web un-
der the basement of a mill, put him On
chip, and set him afoat on the quiet
waters of the pond. He walked all
about the side of the bark, surveying
the situation very carefully, and when
the fact that he was really afoat and
about yard from shore seemed to be
fully comprehended, he prospected for
the nearest point of land. This point
fairly settled upon, he Immediately be-
gan to cast web for it. He threw it
as far as possible In the air and with
the wind. It soon reached the shore,
and made fast to the spires of grass.
Then he turned himself about, and In
true sailor fashion began to haul in hand
over hand on his cable. Carefully he
drew upon it until his bark began to
hove toward the shore. AS it moved
the faster he the faster drew upon it to
keep his hawser taut and from touching
the water. Very soon he reached the
shore, and quickly leaping to terra
firma he sped his way homeward. Think
ing then that he might be a special ex-
CERT, and an exception in that line of
workmanship to the rest of his cOmpan-
ions, I tried several of them, and they
all came to shore in like manner.

The Italian government has pur-
chased or is about to purchase, the rail
roads of the country, but will cause
them to be managed by two great cor
porations. The latter will have control
of the roIling-stock, and will keep 81
per cent. of the gross receipts, the re-
mainder to be divided between the
government and the managing corpora
tions. One corporation will manage
the roads along the Adriatic, the other
those along the Mediterranean, includ-
ing the Alpine lines. The government
assumes no guarantees, and pays no
subsidies. If this account as given by
the Fanfalla and Italie newspapers, is
correct, Italy will see novel experiment
in railroads, namely, compromise be-
tween the state and private system.

WOMEN IN NEW YORK.

The New York papers are seriously
disturbed over bill before the legisla-
ture of that state which proposes to give
married women the right to make con-
tracts IN their own names, the same as
II they we're unmarried, and to make
them liable thereon according to the
laws governing such transactions be-
tween men. There can be no very forci-
BILE objection to legislation of that kind,
it seems to US. If married woman can
be trusted to raise family of children,
she may certainly be allowed to make
contracts as to her own property. Such
laws are in operation in several of the
states, and their influence has been uni
formly wholesome.

are all right, but fears are felt OF wet
frosts in the spring. The prospects in
Louisiana are better than they have been
for six years. The winter IN Alabama
was SO severe as TO almost completely
ruin the fruit crop, aud gardeners have
turned their attention to cultivating
vegetables. In Texas the peach and
other fruit buds are in splendid condi-
ton, only, as in Mississippi, fears are
felt for frosts in the spring. The re-
ports from Arkansas are to the effect
that only part of the peach crop was
injured by the cold weather; strswher-
ries promise splendidly, and other fruits
are in good condition, with the excep-
ton of grapes.
