Editor Mirror. Sir:

Editor Mirror. Sir
We would fain see these few words ap-

perience exceedingly more mortal agony
We were greatly astonished indeed to
observe in the columns of last weeks Mir
rOr that Tracy Editorial absurd article
reflecting on the Mirror Editor earnest eff
forts IN behalf of the inmates during their
endeavors to retrieve their former reputa-
tons.
Although very few people of ordinary
INTEL gence and spiritual culture would be
deceived by the Herald ridiculous, though
grave, statement.
He being an editor, however, may posi-
blv with his inSlnuarlOnS, lnclte In
the minds of some people an absolutely er-
roneous opinion. specially is this true In
'rural DISTRICTS wnere such arisrocrats
are generally men of prominence. we
realize the fact that with his sophisticated
and pessimistic conceptions and remarks he
might fool those Country folks" tempo
rarlly; but from the really logical point OF
view he IS not only disregarding
those priceless parental lessons of yore Tin
which all of us were taught to forgive tres
passes, so ourselves might be forgiven) but
he also exposes his aptitude for error.
The Herald man should inspect some
of the recent statistical reports of the vari-
Gus penal institutions and ascertain the large
number of respectable and admired citizens
who were formerly convicts. Before con-
spring to dispirit man who is accomplish
ing so much towards the reformation and
general welfare of his fellow prisoners.
If he should, upon learning the facts OF
the matter land thereby realize the enormi-
ty of his folly acknowledge his mistake,
he would, we know, encourage the editor of

old turnip, and white one at that, it dis

Last Sunday the cupola was refined in
places where the fire brick had become
cracked or broken, from the terrific heat
or dropping of pig iron, it requires in the
neighborhood of $50, 900 cubic feet of air

is some strain on it; to take out broken
brick and replace with new ones is a slow
tiresome job, as only one man can work in
side conveniently, being only about 40 inches
in diameter. 1t is also freezing job this
