CAKDDfAi. Maxstno, who is now growing old, says he finds it necessary to relax some of his former vigor. For
many years he was accustomed to. rise at 5 o'clock a. m., jmd he did not retire nntil nearly midnight He is now verging on 80 and growing weak. How he lives is a mystery. He eats a few crackers and swallows a cup oi coffee daily, and occupies the rest of bis time in work. Justin McCartney, in the London Daily Neiof, illustrates bis personnel by comparing it with the pictures we see in medieval cathedrals. He is an unwearied worker and a thorough ascetic. - Whxx Senator Jones, of Florida, waa elected to the United States Senate in 1876 he was a member of the Legislature and voted for himself. The funny part of the business is that his vote was necessary to effect the election, and he thus practically elected himself. When Jones saw that his vote was necessary to a choice he drew himself tip to his full height, and, looking severely at the presiding officer, said : "In the name and by the command of the 3,000 Democrats of Escambia County I cast my vote for Charles W. Jones." The Assembly burst into uproarious laughter and srailnrme..

wait until their names were called. This order
caused another scene of wild conluifon. but tho
Democrats finally complied. The elerk did not call the names of Turley and Walters, both Democrats. This created auotlur sceno of con

(New York telegram.
The followine interesting summary of tbe industml situation is from the pi n of a stututiciau who is quoted as the highest authority in the land: It is yet a little early to present a statistically correot report aud review of the American iron, steel, and railroad building interests. Sufficient material has been received to present practically safe conclusions, which are here briefly embodied: The chief matter of anxiety ii ns to the probable course of prices and she pei'inaneney of the present widespread industrial activity. Some sixty syndicates or combinations of capitalists have been formed in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago since October 1 for the purpose of prosecuting large railroad, manufacturing, mining, engineering, and other vast enterpiises. To move or stand still ior further developments is now the question. A remarkably conservative feeling prevails in nil business channels. We are iu sight of the possibilities of overproduction. Enterprise is everywhere encouraged and stimulated. Capital is llying into reproductive channels. Building enterprise H straining. Railroad building has begun on a scale of unprecedented magnitude: already 1,2(10,000 tons have
been sold, eni.nl to ls.iHiii nines
of track, and only (iOO.000 lous re
main unsold. Prioes of rails have advanced from $:U to :Mt- 3H. Steel rail material is up 5 per ton. Kmall buyers have been taken by surnrisa, and are
rushing in and crowding up markets for
spring delivery. Inquiries are ou hand for nearly i00,000 tons f areigu rails and material
and all American nulls are sold up to bep-tember.
Thi is wonderful activity in the face of
foreclosures duiinc the past year amount
ing to $375,000,000 on forty-five roads and 7.f.7t-miles of track. No less than l'i.OOO
miles of main track will be built this year.
and 5.000 miles of side track and repairs.
New railroad building projects will be pre-
cinitated onto investors of ihe coming
eleven weeks equal to the past eleven. The iron and steel industries are re
markably active and strong. The present
nroduettve caoa-Jitv of blast furnaces is
12S.000 tons per week, and 33'2 furnaces LlowinL'. Prices have advauced iu one
year $:i to $4 per ton on ig iron, and $ f on steel rr.ils. S3 on old rails, and the same
on foreign blooms, slabs, etc. Forty blast
furnaces are projected, and about twelve
rolling mills of all kinds of large capacity
The followine iisrures show the pw iron
consumption for the years named:

The pig-iron increase is about forty per
cent, increase in ltiiib over lbso, and tho
steel rail increase is not far from hfty per
cent.
It is no use to multiply statistics, 'ihey
all show about the some general result, vu
A heavy production, an improvement in
pncA, ana a diminution or siocks at an points. The sadden expansion of demand in the latter part of 1SS sent prices up rapidly, chiefly in iron and steel, but in all other directions prices have moved up only
a little. HuiKlmg material mis nor vaneu
much. Lumber is but little above its sum
mer and fall auotations, and builders' hard
ware and tools, niaonmery ana agucuimrai implements are all at fair and moderate
prices. The most reniaricaoie tendency
observable is to increase capacity m shops,
mills, factories, and mines, ine present
nnwnrd tendency inav crowd prices to a
point whi-.-h will endanger enterprise, but r. . i -i a, ii- --.
tne proon'Miuies arc ice oiuei . upin
is seekinf for the most favorable oppor
tunities. While the commercial failures are
onlv about 10.600 of persons doing a busi
ness of over sw.uuti, ati.otiu new unns ami corporations have sprung into life, nil with sutlicient capital to carry on the purposes of their oi-ganizntion. The cost of living is deolining steadily,
while the tendency in wages is upward.
The merfliisino marsm for the wealth pro
dueeis is creating a field ior a multitude of small industries. Prices cannot safely
advance in iron or steel. In breadstntts the probabilities are that demand, bo:h
home and foreiun. will increase, aud that a
great deal of new territory will be taken up
mis year, rxiensive puicuuors umo made in the West and South of timber,
mineral, and agricultural lauds, for speculative puqioscs. The influence of ciniinl will be henvv. because of the
iirnlitnble annreciation in values. The
heavy orders which have been crowd
incr in for two months have pro
tncded the country to a crtnt extent against
tbe. Dossibihties'of a reacliou. Thj be,t
tvnde authorities are of the opinion that the
production of 1S77 will be 20 per cent, in excess of lstsG. and that prices will be 10

winds, hardware, and building mat rial.
Large orders for steel tails cannot bo jilaced for 60onerlhaii September delivery. Heavy iiiuchinerv establishments are Bold until
Anvil nnd Mav in many instances, and
h business has been developed for
later consideration through agents and cor-
rAsnniiflplieo.
To state '0-day what are likely to be fie trade conditions in three or six months
would be at the expense of reputation for
sound judgment. Ihe urg ncy winch exth the surface for materia! and
