Says an exchange: mot very
long ago the statement that pig iron
could be produced at the rate OF
5000 to $1,000 per ton would have
been received with incredulity in
the North and East, but the fact
cannot be denied that an Alabama
furnace has succeeded in turning out
pig iron at this cost. Moreover, a
contract has recently been made, by
perfectly responsible parties, for the
delivery of fifty tons of pig iron
daily, for ten years, at $3.50 per
ton, at Elyton, a new town near
Birmingham, Alabama, and twenty
tons to be delivered at Nashville,
Tennessee.

Luck and Labor.

Young man you are trying your
luck are you? Sometimes at one
thing, sometimes at another, some
times this way, then that way; some
times with cards, sometimes with
billiards, sometimes in futures"
sometimes in lotteries, and sometimes
in betting generally. Just stop long
enough for US to tell you luck is an
agnis .fdtauS, a twill O. the wisp; a
jack O the lantern" You may easily
follow it to ruin, but rarely ever to
success. Things do not often turn
up in this world until somebody turns
them up. Therefore seek some hon
est, useful business and stick to it.
"Keep the shop and the shop will
keep you" Any honest work is bet
ter than no work, and all really use
full and necessary work is honorable
if it be honorably followed. 1t is
just as respectable to stand behind
the work bench as behind the count
er-to shave timber for useful pur-
poses, as to shave notes-to make the
coat, as to measure the cloth. Get
honest work, do it honestly; stick to
it and you will come out right in the
end.
Always seek that work in which you
can have the most personal indie
pendence, and be your own man.
But if working for others, if you are
always true and faithful, you win al
ways be in demand. There is in this
country great opening for true and
honest men, and such are in demand
all the time; and remember in every
profession and every branch of bust
ness there is always room at the top.

sit is finished.n We are eUer
taking leave of something that will
not come back again. We let go
with pang, portion after portion
of our existence. However dreary
we may have felt life to be here, yet
when that hour comes-the winding
up of all things, the last grand rush
of darkness on our spirits, the hour
of that awful sudden wrench from
all we have ever known or loved,
the long farewell to sun, moon, stars
and light-brother men, I ask you
this day, aud / ask myself, humbly
and fearfully, What will then be
finished When it is finished, what
will it be Will it be the butterfly
existence of pleasure, the mere life
of science, a life of uninterrupted
sin and selfish qualification; or will
it be, 'sFather, I have finished the
work which Thou gavest me to doq"

The wiiminsteus Beat the Virsinfss
a IN 4.

A crowd was out to witness the frst o.
ne three games between the Wimingtons
and the Vlreinias at the Virginia Park
Yesterday afternoon. The record OF the
Wilmingtons, and their victory rev
week since on the Wilmington grounds o.
two games out Of three over the Virginias'
served TO draw out large crowd, inclu'
ding ladies, profession men, mercnaues'
mechanics, and others. ,,,
The game was called at 4:45, the WI.
mIugtons first TO the bat. Both CLUBS mac
on their best batteries. This was slffficien'
10 assure all that The game would be hotl!
contested, and that the successful SIDE
would have to keep cool heads and use
their muscles to the best advantage. Il.
Dugan filed the box for the Virginias,
with w. Dugan behind the bat, while NO
Ian and Cusick filed similar positions on
the Wilmingtons. The outlook for the
Virginias was very gloomy up to the sixth
inning, when they succeeded in getting In
their first run the Wilmingtons then
having gotten in four runs. Up to thi:
time there were many apprehensiye thai
the home boys would be shut out. The
visitors batted Dugan with comparative
ease, while the Virginias could not catch
on to Nolan. The fielding Of both club.
was very good, but the visitors surpassed
the home boys in batting.
The feature Of the game was the home
run made by Burns. He knocked beau.
tiiul ball in the extreme centre-feld and
ran in over the home plate before Johnston
could send the ball in. The game was very
interesting after the fifth inning. The
game resulted in a score OF s to in favor
OF the WilmingtOns.
Below IS attached the detailed score:
