THE New York Heia'd is pleased to cast
slur by innuendo upon the President
because, during his trip through the
South, the latter referred to the rebels OF
thirty years ago as "Confederates." This
strikes the Herald as particularly mean
spirited, and leads that peculiar journal
to institute certain odious and inappro-
pirate comparisons. 1t is pity that the
Herald cannot distinguish more nicely in
these matters though, to be sure. We
have had occasion to observe that the
typical New Yorker is habitually prone to
mistake politeness for servility and to
look on courtesy as cowardice. The
typical New Yorker makes this mistake
in his clubs, in his travels, in all the re-
lations of life: and, we regret to say, the
more highly he is placed the more fire.
quently and the more brutally he makes
il. Perhaps it is only natural therefore,
that the Hcrdld, which is the typical New
York journal, should ape the engaging
habits of its set, and look down upon Mr..
HARRISON because, in travelling through
tie South and receiving Southern hos
pitality, he is groveling enough to
requite their cordiality with graft
tude and consideration. When the
average New York swell visits
Washington and other provincial
towns and receives with naughty COM
placency the attentions of the admiring
rustics, he never demeans himself by
thanking the latter for their efforts or
even by entertaining the idea that they
may be entitled to notice of any kind.
The difference between Mr.. HARRISON
and the average New York swell is the
difference between gentleman and a
cad. Mr.. HARRISON does not feel called
upon to snub the eX-rebels at this late
day. He exhibited his opinion of rebellion
by buckling on his sword and helping to
crush it; but now, after lapse of a quar-
ter of century, he thinks he may safely
return to the amenities of peace. Pray,
what would the editor of the Herald call
the Southerners if he were visiting their
country and found himself enjoying thar
hospitality? But perhaps he is not in
Yited out when he travels in that section.

B1pM1NGUAN, ALA, May. lO.-Thc first
shipment of iron pipe ever made I'm the
South left for Baltimore yesterday by
way Of the Richmond and Danville Rail
road, II was made by Bessemer, Ala,
G1m. A solid train of twenty-five cars
composed the shipment, and it is the first
of a 5,O00-ton contract.
The foregoing is an illustration of the
great industrial upheaval IN the Southern
mineral field. -Four years ago the site of
Bossemer, Ala, was simply that Of vir-
gin forest with sparse clearings. To-day il
is a city of G,000 inhabitants. Seven iron
furnaces, with the capacity of n daily
product of 900 tons of pigiron are in OPP
Grafton. An immense rolling mill, em-
ploying GOO hands, was one of the first
industries established, which has been
followed by foundries, machine shops
and the various concomitant factories
and institutions which go to make up q
prosperous manufacturing centre.
One of the latest additions to that citys
complement Of industries is that of the
largest iron pipe works in this country, a
plant established by the Howard e Har-
rison Iron Company, late of 81. Louis,
which manufactures iron piping of all
sizes, as large as forty eight to sixty
inches in diameter. This plant has a
capacity of 300 tons daily. The shipment
mentioned in the dispatch above is from
this plant,
Why this trend of IRON manufacture? E?
Simply the Incompatible cheapness of
iron production and unusual facilities in
competing railroad transportation. The
iron ore is delivered into the cupola at
Bessemer at q bare cost of fifty cents ton
to the operator, while the best of coking
coal is delivered at the ovens there at a
cost of seventy cents per ton. Iron in the
pig there costs only from SL5Oto IS per
ton.
No wonder, then, at the remarkable
mineral and industrial development of
that section.

ADJUSTMENTS.

A dignitied and impressive tragedy
and staid classic is Julius Caesar"
with the presentation OF which Robert
Downing began his annual engage
ment in Grand Rapids at Powers
theater, last evening. The audience
was most generous IN its reception OF
the strong and handsome tragedian.
The play which Is probably the most
popular and best known of the great
bard's productions, was carefully per-
formed. Mr.. Downing selected the
role OF Antony and his appearance IN
this character at once satisfies the
ideal imagination Of tho student and
scholar. Mr.. Downing has improved
greatly since his last engagement here.
His methods indicate quiet force aud
his magnificent voice Is under better
control. His delivery of the famous
Grafton was given with we'll toned eio-
quence and inspired great enthusiasm
throughout the theater. Eugene
Bbiair was gentle and lovable Porta.
Mr.. Moseley gave q spirited and well
Judged Interpretation OF the lean and
hungry Casslus, and there was the evi-
dence of studious introspection in the

credit is due to the supernumeraries,
who acted with harmony and intelli-
gent purpose. This afternoon q very

The Laureate tho Victim az . Professor
or Lcgerdcsaain.
Ono OF the most communicative
among Lord Tennyson's neighbors is
the village barber, who. like most of his
kind, adopts himself to many trades
and callings. This tonsorial artist is
also In demand at entertainments for
the display Of his talent ns conjur2r.
On n certain occasion. says a London
paper, he was invited to give an cxhi-
bition before Tennyson and small
party Of guests, and he tells with SUI
prcne satisfaction how he puzzled the
great poet by one of his fcats OF presti-
cigitation. It seems that he counted
out ten shiliings into Lord Tennyson's
hand, telling him TO hold them tightly.
But few minutes afterward, when he
required the money Sgain, there were
only eight shillings. TIC look of aston
ishment on his lordship's face was indie
scribablc, while the laughter of the
other guests at tho situation was unmis-
takably hearty. In this hilnrity. it is
needless to say, tho poet most good
tcmpcrcdly joined. With the license
usually claimed by such performers the
amateur professor of legericmaiu said:

course, that he found more than he
wanted. At tho oonklusicn of the en-
tertainmcnt Lord Tennyson expressed

friends, in these terms: Your feats

HURRY Up THAT WATER.

The lengthy discussion of the water
question last evening and the fact that
it ended precisely where it began again
recalls the grave situation In which the
city is placed. Hydraulic experts who
have examined tho territory, the dip
OF the rock underlying the loose drift
in which the only hope for ground
water lies, pronounce the supply INSULT
Gent. They base their opinions upon the
annual precipitation, the area of the
watershed and the geological con-
ditions. It's we'll known fact that
beneath the limestone and gypsum rock
underlying this part OF the State the
water is so strongly impregnated with
salt and other minerals that it is unfit
for domestic purposes. In addition to
this the minerals in suspension act with
singular energy upon iron and 1t is
necessary TO use copper tubing to resist
corrosion. This puts an unfortu-
nate limit 10 tho search for
water under ground. The plan OF
going to Lake Michigan is pronounced
impracticable, and the question of sup
ply resolves itself into two alternatives:
to use Grand River water for fire pro-
lection, lawn and street sprinkling and
mechanical purposes, and lay another
system CT smaller pipes to be supplied
with ground water obtained from wells
for domestic purposes, or - pipe the
waters of Rogue River. the Thorn
spple River and other tributar-
les to the Grand. which are
less contaminated by nth than the big
river. Mayor Uhl and many others
