Senator Mcclure. of Sharon, Says Pig Iron
Can't Go Much Lower.
Ex-State Senator Mcclure. Of Sharon, was
on the streets of Pittsburg yesterday. The
Senator is engaged in the pig iron and coke
business. He doesn't think the price Of pig
iron can 60 much lower than $40. The rates on
raw material haven't changed, and the furnace
men can't stand any further reductions.
In politics the Senator is for Delamater, and
he thinks the Mercer delegates will go for the
Meadville man. Major Montooth has many
friends in the county, but as the Major hasn't
been working in the territory he can't expect
much help.

Mining.

The two pillars that support the trade and commence of the world are Mining and Agriculture. All other business is based upon and supported by these. Manufac- turers take the raw material and change 1t into forms adapted for use. Then come the great arms of middle men, who really produce nothing, and live on the profits they can make between the pro ducer and consumer. When one stops to analyze the subject he is amazed that so few people produce anything, while so many people live upon what has been produced by trading and trafficking in the same. Mining, of course, includes the mining of all metals as we'll as that of gold and silver. It also in- cludes coal, salt, sulphur, etc, but all of these. while imp )rtant to the peace and prosperity of the world at large, have not the same affect upon mankind. Because gold and silver are used as money metals, their importance becomes supreme, 3nd the increased of diminished supp. Is followed by consequences of Vast moments to the world.
 History proves that whenever these metals were in abundance in any nation at that period 1t had g.e prosperity. They might conti- nue to mine other meals, but their prosperity departed when the pre- cious metals were drained away
 Silver mines pay better for the amount of money invested in them that any other business that is done. This is a fact. The trouble IS, people expect to put in d dollar, and to draw ou5 thousand and that at once. It is well known tha; the silver mines of the United States are producing S64,U0J,O00 a

EXTRAORDINARY SCENE.
A Drunken Judge and Counsel ReNulsi D
 a Sober VltnesR


 Sober Witness.
 A queer scene occurred at oDe of the evening sittings, which may oe worth recording. Sergeant Arabin had come down from the dining room with the alderman on the rota, and they took their seats upon the bench, the countenances of both bearing tes5i- mony that their afternoons carOus8 had not been light one. The prisoner first upon the list was in the doek, and the prosecutor was in the witness- box so that all was ready for trial. There was no counsel in the case, and, that being so, the judge always examined the witnesses from the written depUsI- tions which were taken by the Juagis- trate and returned to the court b. him. Now Arabin was very short sighted and also very deaf. On this occasion he unluckily took up set of deposi- tions which had no reference to Jhe prisoner at the bar; the charge against him being that of stealing a pocket handkerchief, while the judges atten- ton was fixed upon a charge of steai~ ing watch. Holding the abortive writ ing close to the light, and peer ing st 1t through his spectacles, he begsu his examination: Judge-"Well, witness, your name is John Tompkins." Wit ness-"My lord, my name is Job Fay lor' Judge-''Ah! I see you are a- sailor and you live in the New Cut.
 Witness-''NO, my lord; l live at Wap- ping" Judge-"Never mind your being out shopping. Had you your watch in your pocket on the 10th of November?' Witness-'I never had but one ticker, my lord, and that has been at the pawn-shop for the last six months" Judge-''Who asked you how long you had the watch? Why can't you say yes or noP We'll, did you see the prisoner at the barP Witness Gin loud tone of voice, for he began to be little confused by the questions put to him) of course 1 dids'' Judge-''That's right, my man, speak up and answer shortly. Did the pris- oner take your watch?" Witness Gin a still louder tone)-"I don't know what you're driving at How could he get it without the ticket and that 1 had left with the missus?"

THE DATE PALyE.
Ht Will Soon be Introduced
 Into Southern Arizona.

H. E. Van Deman, United States Pomologist at Washington, D. c. in regard to the distribution of the date trees, he lately received from Africa, says the Valley of the Colo rado is perhaps the best place, climatically in which to grow the date on this continent, and one colony of the trees will be placed there. Another will be at Phoenix, Arizona, and another at Las Cruces, New Mexico. I have no doubt that the date will succeed in the vicinity of Los Angeles, and the experiment sta .ion of Pomona, will be in some degree serve for that region. There are only six male trees in the whole lot, and it is absolutely necessary that there be only six colonies of plants owing to this fact. The scattering of the tree about, one or two or more in a place would entirely frustrate they would never produce fruit without the boiler from the male trees.

It is disgraceful that witnesses should come into a sacred court of justice like this in such state of in- toxication." Then, leaning over his desk to the deputy clerk of arraigns, who was seated below him, he said: "Mr Mosely, don't allow this witness ore farthing of expenses. I'll put a stop to this scandal if 1 can." I need hardly say that the source of the mis- take was discovered and the witness got his expenses in the nd.--Sergeant Robinson's Bench and Bar.

.sz-a 5zEaE sst-ssa-o Trees.

A correspondent of the fIor,d. Agriculturist thus voices his view on the proper training of orang, trees:
 The man who does not prune hiS orange trees at all commits aim as grave an error as the one ". prunes too much. If the object to raise fluit, trim them so that. limbs will grow nearly to t ground but if for ornamental ps poses, trim "horse high" We mo, have the "bear;ng surface" and tree trimmed low will bear twic, as much fruit, at the same age, one trimmed high. But my objec; in is note is to call the attention of orange growers to the importance of tieing up limbs that grow down to the ground, as many of our budded trees are inclined to do instead of cutting them off. Take stout strip of cloth and tie them up where you want them to grow and by the tiItie the cloth rots and breaks, the limb' will stay where you put it, and many valuable limbs can be saved in this manner Try it, and you will be agreeably surprised at the results, and won der why you have not practiced l before.
