. Blaine and Harrison in 1892.

WASHINGTON, November 25.+It is
generally believed IN Washington
that Mr. Harrison expects renomi-
nation in 1892, and believes that by
aggressiven ess at this time he can
relieve the party from the depressing
results of. defeat and place himself
in Q position to lead them to victory
Ein2 1852 sItQhsS said that Mr.. Blaine
4does not agree with Mr.. Harrison as
to the line IN which his aggressive
ness should be directed, but that he
has no disposition to interfere or to
force his views upon the President.
There is perfect understanding be-
tween Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. GHarriso n
on the lsubject Cof the candidacy in
1892, and Mr.. Harrison has no reason
to fear rivalry from Mr.. Blaine, for
which the latter is responsible. Mrs.
Blaine is opposed TO Mr.. Blaine's
taking the nomination lin 1892, and
1t is believed that he will respect her
Wishes In the mattef-unless 1t should
happen that there was an irresistible
popular demand fol-, him to take the
nomination. His am bition Is to build
a. mon ument for hffnself BY the de-
velopment LOT Southern commerce.
He is for Harrison as candidate in
1892 sIfSatT that time nothing has

Natural, Gas in Pittsburg.

From the Iron Age,
The action OF the philadelphia Nat
urai Gas Company, of Pittsburg, in
cutting off the supply of gaslCto the
pudding furnace in a number of the
mills in that city has excited eonsid-
erable comment. Predictions are be-
ing made on all sides that the supply
is failin & rapidly snd WILSON beck
hausted, and that thisis1 the begin
ming of the end of the fuel whose
discovery and use has been the Won
der of the scientific world. We do not
think that the facts In the case will
bear out these predictions. 1t is 3
well-known fact that the supply of
natural gas has decreased to some ex-
tent, but not so largely as is gener-
ally supposed. 1t is also admitted
that at some time in the future the
supply VIII be exhausted. In the face
Of these facts 1t is only natural that
those persons who have invested
largely in the development of natural
gas territory should desire to sell the
product at the highest price that can
be obtained for 1t. When the use Of
natural gas as fuel was being intro
duced, con tracts for its supply to
manufacturers and private consum-
,ers were made at very low figures. ia
some cases at less than one-half the
price that was paid for coal There
was no restriction whatever as to its
use, and meters for the. measurement
of gas, were not required by the COM
panies nor asked for by the c0nsum-
or. The result Of this policy has been
q reckless waste Of gas Tin every di-
rection by the consumer. In order to
overcome this waste, meters were in
troduced and are now in general.use,
except in manufacturing. plants, where
the practice of contracting for gas at
so much per annum Is In force. Not
withstanding the attempt of the COM
panies to curtail the qnantitysof gas
consumed as much as possible and
still give the, consumer all the gas
needed, 1t has been found impossible
to: prevent shortages, oand for this
reason thesupplya has, been cut or
from large number, of pudding fur
naces, where the waste is said to be
very heavy, and from which the
smalles tinoome ia derived. Theprice
to private consumers have been in
creased SO per eenty-and the various
companies intimate that in thefuture
the interests of the private consumer
will be taken care of, while the mills
get only what surplus gas may re-
MAN. While the manual turers have
been put to great Inconvenience and
Considerable. expense TO alter their
furnaces for the, ese of coal, 1T is poss-
IDLE that some arrangement will be
made by which they will again be
supplied with gas. For the present,
at least, they viii have to operate
their furnaces with coal.

Iron From the SkN.

When Cortez had completed the
conquest of Mexico, the Spaniards,
among a great many other peculiar
and extraordinary observations
which they made in that remarkable
country, were particularly struck
and puzzled by one fact, They no
ticed that the Aztecs possessed GER
tain implements, such asknives, dag
gers, etc., made OF iron, but it seem
ed that only the most distinguished
of the natives possessed snch, that
iron was a great rarity, and was
priced higher than gold.
At first the Spaniards believed that
the Aztecs extracted the metal in
some crude fashion from its ore, which
abounded in many parts OF the coun-
try, but they soon ascertamed that
this was not the case. They found
that not n single smelling furnace
existed in the empire, and their sur
prise was not small when they learn
ell that the Aztecs were totally unac-
quainted with any method ofeXtract-
ing the iron from the ore, which in
deed they had never suspected ofany
kinship with the highly valued met
al.
The question whence the Aztecs
had procured the little iron they pos
sessed became n perplexing problem
to the Spaniards, problem which
they were never able to solve The
natives do not seem to have enlight.
ened them much on tn. subject, for
when asked they mysteriously point
ed to the sky and indicated that they
obtained their iron from the regions
| above. Such assertions no boubt
the Spaniards received with i'm in,
credulous smile, aud they concluded
that the Aztecs received it by way o.
traffic with some other perhaps more
civilized nation, which they suspect
ed to exist and kept looking for
north and south, for more than 4
hundred years.
| 1t was left to modern science &c
| unravel the mystery. The Aztec,
We're quite correct. Theron Of which
they had made their implements was
not fashioned from materials Of thi.
terrestrial globe. but had come tx
them from the unknown regions 0
space. Their iron was, in fact, o
meteoric origin, like that ct the May
as Of Yucatan and the Incas OF Peru
Of which many weapons IRE still pre-
served in collections.

to make his life a success, and that
socially he could never be any thing

And speaking OF talk which one
overhears reminds the editor OF bit
Of worldly wisdom spoken by a
countrymanD on ont the Lake Sebago
steamers. The rustic was talking
with somewhat wizened-up old lady,
who was evidently his mother, and
the latter was heard to say to him:
"Wnll, now, Sam, / don't think
you treated Lucindy just right in
the matter She felt awful bad about
it,"
"Wall, " theson responded, medita-
lively and with an amount OF worldly
wisdom for which one was not az al
| prepared from such source, I'm kind
o. sorry, but then gals will stand q
sight more from iellers than felIers
will from gals"
And the wrinkled old woman sighed
and was silent, as if she felt the i'm
possibility of controverting SO oh
vious proposition and remembered
her own youth and the things that
had happened to her then.
