Cincinnati Gazette Of yesterday.


The interest OF the iron producer is not
in booming prices of the product and Of
labor, and in speculation in stocks on
hand; but in steady production at such
prices as to hold the home market at least,
II not to give an outlet abroad. Booming
prices OF iron are swiftly followed by
booming prices for labor, all of which
makes boom in imports of iron. specu-
lation in stocks on hand soon plays out,
and then comes the weakness Of having
TO produce at the highest cost. Expe-
rience has shown that the most extreme
duty cannot prevent the importation Of
iron wheni it is stimulated by Initiating the
cost OF home production by great volume
Of money. And we may remark here,
right in the face Of what is fondly called
sound money initiation, that the working
is the same whether the great volume Of
monev be on the credit basis, or on what
Is called the specie basis.

Washington, May 1.-The two COM
mittees appointed, respectively by the
house and senate democratic caucuses,
to report what course of action should
be adopted in view of the presidential
vetoes, past and prospective, held a
joint meeting this evening of two and
half hours duration. Senator Thur
man presided. After very full inter-
change of views all present agreed upon
a proposition concerning the army bill,
to be reported to separate caucuses of
the two houses tomorrow afternoon.
1t will recommend the re-passage of the
army appropriation bill, with the sixth
section changed SO as to apply only to
officers of the army and navy, and not
to United States "civiln officers, thus
obviating the principal objection raised
by the president against its approval.
The democracy claim that in their
opinion the president having evaded
the main issue he should now be given
an opportunity to pass upon bill which
shall present to him the sole question
whether or not the army or any portion
of it should be used to keep the peace
at the polls. For the purpose of attend
ing the caucus the democratic majority
will procure an early adjournment of
the senate tomorrow.

New York, May 1.-The Tribune to-
day says the committee in charge of the
New York exposition for 'S3 have
selected plot near Port Morris,
Westchester county. They find there
the requisite number of acres of un-
occupied land, necessary facilities of
approach by water and land, and other
advantages, making the spot particu-
larly eligible for the site of the great
exhibition. The men who are pushing
this enterprise seem to be thoroughly
in earnest. The act of Incorporation,
which congress is to be asked to pass,
is prepared, and the New York exhibit
tion of 'S3, which will celebrate the one
hundredth anniversary of Great Brit

ican independence, may be looked upon

st. Petersburg, May IA feeling of
gloom prevails. Rigorous police regu-
lations, respecting the watching of
houses and visits and searches by night
are to be made still more stringent.
After nine o'clock in the evening no
body will be at liberty to show him
selves in the street without certificate
upon which must be written and attest
ed the place from which the bearer
comes and to what place he is going,
Gen. Gourko, governor general, planned
this ordinance.


Soon it will, not be necessary to light
candle before half past nine, yet at
nine everyone must be in doors, and
after ten, as in barracks, every light
must be out.


Notwithstanding the insecurity in
st. Petersburg increases, everyday
grenades are exploded in the streets.


1t is the intention of the nj
hilists, it is believed, to keep the
police in state of constant excitement,
tire them out or lull them to sleep with
the idea that the danger has been ex-
aggerated; they also reckon on harsh
measures and arrests producing discon-
tent among many of the people, who,
when the time comes for grand at
tack on the government, would join the
revolutionists. One night recently,
seditious placards were stuck up in the
vicinity of the theatres and on the
corners of the busiest streets and al
though the city police and detectives at
once hurried up and tore down the
manifestoes, they nevertheless appeared
anew.


In this one night upwards of one
hundred and fifty persons were arrested
and among all these the police failed to
find scrap of paper which appeared to
have anything to do with the procla-
nation.


The secret bill sticker, on the other
hand, went on with his work and the
police were unable to discover him.

in compromising or postponing it than
in reaching similar conclusions with

Tribune declares that every charge

imagine that the events or methods

The mind is the boiy's master. Amos
Hedlry had been afoot in the woods all night,
with only an occasional rest against the hole
of u tree; had been afoot all the morning on
the rugged fell with only suggestion OF
breakfast, and might well have chained the
privilege of fatigue but spirit Of unrest
was alive within him, never to be tanned to
quetude while Hope was missing.


On his way TO the head keeper he met Sir
William in the grounds near the hall, and in
answer to the query, whittier so fast, young
man; - told hastily the story of Hope Vol
singham's disappearance, her claims upon his
gratitude, aud his anxiety to renew the search
for her.


The Baronet smiled as Amos spoke of graf
itud- he had some recollection of the indie
pendent dairy maid. The required permis-
sion was given on the instant.


Nature and common sense had dictated the
necessity for refreshment: now Amos plunged
his head in bucket of water ate heartily a
dinner the sympathetic cook set before him,
and started of afresh like a new man.


Quite an hour had been consumed when,
accompanied by Gypsy, he again emerged
from the copse, and strobe through the vii
lage on his way to the fell. The other seek
cIS were far ahead of him, and something
like Jealous qualm came over him lest she
should bc found by any but himself His
better nature however rebuked him, and he
told Gipsy it mattered not who came first on
her track, so long rs she was only safe and
we'll.

wandering, and were, with the single eXcep-
tion of Gilbert Applegarth, on the point of
returning to their own homes, convinced that
the girl had gone astray of her own free-will
and not of mschance, arguing that she was
most likely with old Betty at some "krsen-

waving his arms as if to urge them forward.

Something urged him TO make fresh inqui-

taken.

overboard!' 1t was impossible to put
up the helm of the ship, but I instant
ly seized a rope and threw 1t over the
ships stern, crying out to-the man to
seize it for his life. The sailor caught
the rope just as the ship was passing.
I Immediately took another rope, and
making a slip moose of it, attached it to
the other, and slid it down to the strug-
Cling sailor, and directed him to pass
it over his shoulders and under his
arms. ard he would be drawn on board.
He was rescued; but he had grasped
that rope with such irmness, with such
death drip, that it took two hours
before his hold relaxed and his hand
could be separated from it. With such
eagerness indeed. had he clutched the
object that was to save him, that the
strands of the rope became imbedded
in the flesh of his hands" This illus
trates the fact that God has let down
from heaven rope to every sinner on
earth. Every strand is a precious
promise, and we ought to be SO intense

lay hold on them as for our lives and
