Never in the Listory of the world has
money been so abundant in the markets of
Europe, nor never lieforc so difficult to find
borrowe rs at a fair rate of interest.
The eiviliz**d world Las grown rich with :i
marvellous mpidiiy within the last quarter
of a century.
From 1*18 to 1*06, a period of eight-
year-, the product of gold was £5.34! ,.700,000,
and of riiver for the «ame period $1,620,400,-
MO, or a total of $4.9*51,900,000.
To this may be added the product of the
1 s! five years, say of silver $170,111,110, and
of gold #928,194,410, or a grand total of $•;,-
34*»,*J # *.7,.7'0 as tlie product of 23 year*.
During this period the commerce of the
world moved by steam, and stimulated by
electricity has increased in a much greater
ratio, until tie* accumulative wealth has
reached an amount almost beyond calcula
tion.
But a few years since a commercial revul
sion was produced in England from au ex
cessive investment in railways. A similar
amount invested to-day would not affect her
in the slightest degree, from the fact that
»he has in the meantime grown vastly richer
and stronger.
Thc|*eopleof the United Slates invested
ovtr $ 2.7O.0 jO/jOO in railways l::*tvear with
out producing a stringency in the money-
market.
The net earnings or profits of her com
puted railways exceeded this amount, hence
they were simply investing surplus earning?-,
w ithout drawing upon the capital of the
country.
We have at least -1,0)0.000 of Lilxirers en
gaged in the daily production of wealth.
We have also a vast amount of laboi-
saving machinery contributing an immense
amount of we.dm to the common fund.
T Ids machinery in its productive power
represent many millions of laliorcrs. As
suming that it repnsi ids or is equivalent to
only 16.0 0/00 la!Hirers, we tlieu have a total
of 20,(jO0,U00 laborers.
This !.h-: produce or add-to tie* general
wealth of the country at least one dollar per
day each.
Ten days continuous lal.or of these labor-
< r-, and this lalsir saving maehinery, would
make rood tie losses by the Chicago fire.
This labor, together with the immens * prr*-
ductivc power of our railways, made the loss
go*»d ere the lire and smoke had become ex
tinct.
The commercial world can withstand a
much greater loss ihan this, without a rcvul-

Our judgment is confined to the statement of
of rubbery, presenting a spec-tax le of fraud
and corruption perhaps unexampled in the
history of the world, yet the Southern-born
men have hud hut little to do with it. Your
true Southerner, if he has sense enough to
get an office, has too much honor to steal. In

one course is open to the lovers of true De

Tiie Rise in Coffee.—The recent extra
ordinary rise in the price of coffee has pro
duced much discussion in commercial circles
The price of goud Rio in cargo, for instance,
has, within a few weeks, advanced from 11*
cents to nearly 17 cents per pound, gold.
Other descriptions of coffee have risen nearly
as much. It is stated that there are at pres
ent but forty-odd thousand bags of coffee in
first hands in the United States, and some of
the large dealers are ordering cargoes from
Europe. When the tariff was reduced on
coffee, tea, and sugar, a year ago, there was
an almost immediate decline in the price of
those articles; but the short crop of coffee
has influenced the present rise in that “ ne
cessity.”
Brigham and Bigamy.—About a month
ago Brigham Young gave out that he would
not be arrested, and that no Gentile touch
should profane the Lord's anointed. He has,
however, been indicted and arraigned, all the
same. He quietly permitted the profanati
pleaded not guilty, and asked a continuance
of the trial proceedings. Precisely as if he
was only human, and not a prophet, the
court proceeds as usual, and gives Brigham
only the grace it allows others. The Mor
mons have started a subscription paper for
their President, to aid the poor man on his
trial. The money flows in freely. Let Brig
ham be encouraged. Even if convicted, the
precedent of Bowen shows that bigamy is not
an unpardonable crime.—Setts.
ry Mark Twain produces one of the most
striking cases of meanness on record. He
says he knows of an incorporated society
which hired a man to blast rock; and he was
punching powder in it with a crowbar, when
a premature explosion followed, sending the
man and crowbar out of sight. Both came
down all right and the man went to work
promptly; but though he was gone only fif
teen minutes, tht company “ docked him for
lost time.”
In the Great Exhibition of 1851, an Amer
ican specimen of iron paper was first exhib
ited. A lively competition in iron rolling
ensued among Britirii iron tnanufacturcra,
excited by the above challenge from Ameri

part of an inch. In other words, 1,800 sheet*
piled upon each other would collectively
measure an iuch in thiekness, while the thin-

We now come to the climax. The mill

Upest Forest Tin Works, near Swansea, ha*
succeeded in making a sheet of the finest ap
pearance and thiunesa that has ever yet bees
seen by the mortal eye. The iron from
which the sheet was rolled was made on
the premises. It was worked in a finery with
charcoal aud the usual blast; afterwards
taken to the hammer, to be formed into

rolled till it was supposed to be thinner
than 23 grains, afterwards passed through
the cold rolls to give it the necemary polish,
and now it stands on record as the thinnest
sheet of iron ever rolled. The sheet in ques
tion is 10 inches by 6j inches, or 55 inches in
surface, and weighs but 20 grains, which,
being brought to the standard of 8 inches by

That most consummate of all inalig-

son W. G. Brownlow, is out in a tirade of
abuse against the recently inaugurated Gov

his entire unfitness to sit iu the Senate, it
would be the letter in question.
Making all due allowance for partisan en
