The exports of iron continued to. increase gradually until 1771, or about the time the war broke out, when the amount arose to 5,303 tons, After

which it began to decrease,. on ac count of the war. So, ; Mr. Editor, you see that the ''wonderful event'' of shipping iron to England is not hxw after alL But the most "won- ' derful thing' in the ' whole matter is, why we have not been shipping it to every nation in the world. ;v ' Ji -:? c- FsxeTbadhJ 4 JBVW don'l hn npiMwItj . boot awtiog our tU Uriff qoMtioo tbii hot 4UtW or farthtr allnaioa to tbo wonderfal thing onr friend F, T. o;eu hia ifety rlre -boot, bat nfor him to this ia ordor to' prdneo moro Motife power to,bU mochiaory.

influence is being brought to bear

upon the Secretary"by the - friends

of the fair competitors; The irre

pressible Sam. Randall of Pennsyl

vania is demonstrating, sharply on

the back pay question of Congress' men . He is especially down: upon

those members who did not imitate

him. in taking the plunder. He will

show among otner points, that sev

eral of these gentlemen took their

increased pay at the previous en

largement of salaries. But .when

the enlargement JwaB made from

$3000 to 500 per annum, there was

no back pay connected with it There is nor4bubt that., the new Congress rwill refuse ; to go back on the action of i s prededessors. . Salaries like resolutions never - go backwards. , . The next move1 will be for the increase of all official sala

It appears? from a statement of

the Treasury iDepaxtment' to Senator Caserly, a member of the trans portation committee, that the inter

est paid by the. Government to the Pacific Railroads p to June 1,

873, and which has not been, re-

funded by the companies, amount

to $H,323,507;?2.' By July 1, if no further payment be nade the total amoumVi will ., be , $16,262,213,08.

The object of the litigation ordered

by Congress in ; regard to tliese

companies, is to vacate their claims to the public lands, and also to va

cate the prior mortgage, bonds as

hunted by fraud, r and bring their

road bed and rolling stock directly

within ihe power, of the .Govern-;

ment claims. Mt looks like a delib

erate swindle on the part of these

corporations, ihus - ignoring their

obligations entirely- j Corporations:

have no souls but . they are heavily

freighted with malignant passions

The Geneva damages, by order

of Congress, are to be invested in

5 per cent- registered bonds and held by the Treasury until such ' a time as Congress is able to defihi'e-

iy arrange the distribution of the

money among the various claimants.

The efforts of such papers as the

New York World . and Tribune to decry the legal opinion of Attorney

General Williams ior the disposal of the captured Modocs is evidently' of the spiteful ad captandnm ' style. The : pettifogging A technicalifies

f speedy,, and sure punishment for , crime, j To .vour correspondent a

knowledge, no criminal has escaped his just punishment liere -t unless it

be Q'Brien who; was convicted and

; sentenced to be hanged, but .subse

quently commuted by the President

to imprisonment for life. The Presi

dent was sincere in the behef that

. imprisonment for;life at hard ..labor

was a- veryr goodsubstitute for

hanging.,.. The , people here don think scy more r doub Jess for . the

reason that they fear, that after n

few years when the crime is for-

gotten, ne may bring to oear cer

tain influences on a President, to get

pardoned. " ' 1 ' ' .

v iWith the summer migration of the average Americao family comes an experience which eveu.repeti

musseto, and nxe mm carries an

guish In his trunk. . u It is what M.

r Hugo Would call jthe ; ''ananke of

Things." it is the time .when the individual is triutophed over by his luggage, when the carpet-

' bag Is powerful and to be feared,.

when the innocent lunch basket become9 aggressive, and even, the bulgy newspaper rncol occupies a

seat,' end becoming undone wor ks

woe to oim who tries to dispossess

"py male protector sid els pain fully

WUen the' unprotected female shamelessly abandons herself, and

her bandboxes to tho , national

gklantry without fear or without

reproach; when the f carrying ot

bird cases, has " come,;, and the

cars. It is the time when the ba-

f bv, who requires ell the care and

hospital accessories pi an invalid

without possessing hia reserve and

quiet, 1 sprawls on the .backs-of seats or pulls off the hat of the ad

joining passenger, and the boldest

contemptuous glance of the lonely

old bachelor.' --: ,-4

Painful as this already is. it is

impossible to shut the eye of calm

observation to 1 the - frightful fact that it is tccreasine instead of

diminishing. Withio the past ten

years the lunch basket, has becoma

larger and more frequent; restrict

ed formerly toi the' rustic visitor

and cootaining the glazed cube of

glngFibroad, the simple ssndwbich

and the homely apples, it has grad

ually become the appurtenance of every tourist, and a complicated affair that flowers Into napkins and disgourges an amount of table furniture that occupies four times its bulk, and which no ingenuity can replsce. , . The. conjuring of ; the

4 Afrite back , into the : fi&uernian'

jar was an easy task compared with the repacking of the modern lunch hamper. Within filtg miles, of the city it gives way jo the unmUtakable. lench barteV olten I weakly disguised as a portmanteau but .still oderoualy suggestive of the daily dinner which .Paterfamilias brings to his sur bur ban home. During the fruit season it alternates with the basket of peach- , es, the lox of r. grapes, and ,, the

crates of berries .which incumber'

, the scats in the . ordinary ., passeager cars. All this, however, is simply, preliminary and preparatory to another , experience the re4 suit of mistaken ideas of progress and Jnovation whose gratuitous

horrors require fresh paragraph.
