About Iron ore.
From Mr.. Grasiy's letter to the .Hangac

From Mr.. Grasiy's letter to the .Kangac-
tursrs' Record.
word now concerning the ores close TO
Charlestowu. Captain John Howard,
practical miner, who has been operating in
aud respecting for iron ore for ffly years.
having provided ores for the old Shannon
dale furnace, FIVE miles from Charlestown,
away back in the foities, talked with me about
the iron ore supply in this vicinity. These
ore banks" said he" contain ores which in
mixture will produce q highgrade car-wheel
iron, and are now being used by the Stick
ney Iron Works at Baltimore for car-wheel
purposes Much of the ore has been ship
ped to George Whitaker, below Baltimore,
AMI to various points in Pennsylvania. II
will average fully fifty per cent. metallic
iron, as all furnace tests have proven" &.
From an experience of forty-fve years, !"
h. went on to say, lin furnaces and mines,
am confiden; in giving my opinion that
most valuable ores, in practically inexhaus-
tible quantities. are TO be found in unbroken
strata between the bank of the Potomac and
the Carnegie mine, ten miles above Charles
town, on the Shenandoah river. These ores
are of especial value, because of the proI-
unity Of the cold short and red short va
rieties of beif;..tite ore. This, taken in con-
nection with the presence of an abundance
of limestone suitable for huxng, SHOULD
serve to attracl the attention of those seek
ing locations for the cheap manufacture Of
iroslA 1t may be well to add that in Penn
sy eahia these valuable ores, located In the
same iron belt, are becoming exhausted, and
ores are now being shipped from this coun.
ty to furnaces in that section"
Prof w. \. Mcdonald, a well known au-
thority, in report on the ontcrop Of sim
gle l3 acres tributary to Charlestown, states
that there is an average of $4,000 tons to tho
acre from the outcrop alone. But there is
no trouble on the score Of iron.

Prince Bismark is credited with the story
that when the well known African traveller,
DR.. Robert Fekin, was stay NJ with the
blood thirsty King Mtesa, of Ugada, many
years ago. the King, out of gratitude for his
visitors medical treatment, wished to cut
off his head. On DR.. Felkin representing
that the treatment was Mt finished, and
that if interrupted it would cause Mtesa's
death, the latter granted him areprieye un-
I'll he was quite recovered. Then, however,
nothing availed, and the execution was de-
termined upon. Emin Pacha, who was a
friend OF Dr. Felkin, had instructed him
most accurately about the state Of affairs in
Ugada and the court Of King Mtesa, and
had revealed to him an important State Sc
cret-namely, where Mtesa's powder store
was hidden. DR.. Felkin remembered this
at the right moment, and as last resort
threatened that if Mtesa killed him he would
bring down a flash Of lightning upon his
powder store Mtesa replied increduousiy,
Tell me where it is :" whereupon DR.. Eel
kin whispered in his ear. 1T Is concealed
under your harem.' Mtesa turned pale,
AID allowed Fekin and his companions to
live. The "iightning makers" authority
increased when next day fash Of light
ming happened to strike near the harem.

Holc An EarihQmaIse Feels.

To the average residents Of the tenn
perate zones an earthquake is a rare and
terrible event, creating more consterna-
ton than any other visitation of nature.
In the tropics, however, particularly in
Central America, it is wonderful how
easily the residents become accustomed to
these shocks, which do not come wholly
without warning.
You are sitting on the piazza, OF hot
afternoon, chatting with your friends,
when suddenly the sky seems to grow
hazy, the crows stop cawing and the buz-
yards quit fighting in the street. There
is a general rush, and, though you may
not know what is the matter, You cannot
help feeling uneasy.
The old natives say, we are going to
have little shake, and then the house
begins to rock, the tumblers fall off the
table, you feel deadly sick at he stomach
and the thing is all over. The sky clears,
the crows begin their noisy screams and
the buzzards resume their quarrel over
the street ofIal.
There is something incxpressibly terri
fyng, however. about the trembling Of
the earth. The slightest oscillation will
awake the population Of the whole town,
but unless some considerable damage is
done, everybody goes to sleep again as a
matter of course

Sleep in peace, secure from harm,
Mothers here.
Guarded round by many q prayer,
Aud mothers loving care
Slumber on, my baby fair
Free from fear.
Shut the starry. deep blue eyes,
Little one,
Like still lakes or summer skies,
When day is DONE
May they ever SEE those sights,
Which the angel pure delights,
When the record brave he writes
OF victories won.
Fold the dimpled hands so white,
Baby own,
Pink within as shells bright,
Or rose half blown.
Savior. may their mission be,
Raising sinners nearer Thee,
Pure as these small hands ] see,
To sin unknown.
Let those lips stop cooling so,
Little love.
Sweet as when soft zephyrs blow,
Or calls dove,
Be they, Lord, TO Thy work blest,
Speaking, full OF loving zest
OfThy love, and offered rest
And home above
In the everlasting arm,
My sweetheart,
Safe from all that ever harms
Dear, thou art.
Working ever Tor thy King,
Sinners unto Him 10 bring
While thy lips His praises sing
BE thy part.
