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.

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 ca, as i'» tUiucaa to which steel could b« rolled cold. Mr. Gillott rolled hhceui iu« average thickness of which was the 1,800th part of an inch. In other words, 1,800 sheet* piled upon each other would collectively measure an iuch in thiekness, while the thin- paper lo be purchased in the sta tioners' shops measured the 1,100th part of ftui inch. These very thin iron sheets are |H*rfectly smooth and easy lo write on, although {Mtroua [when held up it* a good light.

But soon the Welsh leek had Ito give way to the rose of England, for Staffordshire was anxious to take it* wonted lead. The IIojkj Iron Works succeeded in making a sheet of ele ven surface inches, weighing but eighty-nine grains, which, reduced io the American and Welsh standard of 44 in., gives ultout 33 grains; Messrs.

They succeed in making one sheet 8 in. hy .3*§ in., or surface of 44 in., of the astounding weight of 234 grains only, which re quired no less than 2,-333 sheets to make inch in thickness; another sheet,8 inches M \ inches, or 43 surface inches, weighed 25 I grains, but brought to the standard of 44 inches, gives but 23 grains, and requires 1,930 sheets to make one inch in thickuesa.

We now come to the climax. The mill manager of Messrs. W. Ilallam & Co., of the 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 regular flat lK>tu>m; from thence c*hi- veywl to the hailing fumancc, ami when sufficiently heated, taken up to the nil* lengthened, and cut by shears into the proper lengths, piled up, and tmnsfered to the ball ing furnace again; heated, it was pasM*d through the rolls, back again into the 1*11- ing furnace, and when duly brought to the proper pitch, was Liken to the rolls, and made into a thorough gmal bar. Such is the connection with the forge department. was then taken to the tin mill*, and 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 5i inches, or 44 surlace inches, is but 16 gr tins, or 30 per cent less than any previous etF >rt, and requires at least 4,*00 to make one inch iu thickness.—Ironmonger.

That most consummate of all inalig- nauu who ever diagramed a rac« or age. Par son W. G. Brownlow, is out in a tirade of abuse against the recently inaugurated Gov ernor of Tennessee. He asserts his convic tion that that peaceful State should lte im mediately placed under martial law, and an nounces his intention to advocate such a measure in the United State Senate, If any thing in his record was wanting to illustrate his entire unfitness to sit iu the Senate, it would be the letter in question. Making all due allowance for partisan en thusiasm, and granting for argument’s sake that some outrages have occurred in Tennes see, what just, humane or sensible man would seriously advocate such a policcy. If this was merely the howling of some drunken ward politician wc wight turn from it in dis gust, but when it emanates from a United States Senator it disgraces the entire country and people. How can the country ever have peace when Koch blatant blackguardism, such senseless senility is not only to erated but encouraged, while men so dead to every moral sense of honor or honesty are entrusted with our des tinies? For this insult to good sense, w hich admits of neither palliation nor apology. Parson Biownlow should be disgraced by the very Senate he has insulted. If the Radical party hopes to maintain a shred of popular confidence it must muzzle the jaws of such roaring hyenas, and drive them into tlie jungle of ignorance from which the late war unhappily«oo*ened them.—A.
