TJoless the present scarcity and hirh 'prices of iron arc the effects of cainrs which may be speedily removed, 'they miust operate as a serious check upon the prosperity a ntl prourerit of all civi lized nations. The rapidly increasing demand for and consumption of this metal.in its various manufactured forms. has already heen brought to a halt and enterprises of great utility, and even of national importance are now awaiting 'further developments upon this subject. This enhanced cost falls with the TOOft severe and paralyzing effect upon railroad building enterprises, and hence indirectly upon the jrener.il interests of commerce and production, so largely dependent upon transport ation facilities. Unfortunately, this lare advance hns come upon us at a time when the rail' 'road system of the country is bcin ex pended at the rate of some seven or eight thousand miles a year, when newj building projects were about to be en tered upon in nearly every State and 'Territory in the Union, and when vast 'jailroad schemes, are being matured in South America, llussia, Kjrypt, India 'China, and other non-producing coun tries, which ''have just begun to develop their material resources, and need iron to do it with, in immense quantities and in every possible utilized shape. Where is all this iron coming from? And if the present demand so much exceeds the supply and forces up prices to ro high, & range, nvhat may be exs pectcd of the prospective demand, which promises to be much larger in -proportion l than any prospective or even possible increase of production t It is difficult to perceive how the in creased supply, requisite to keep prices .within bounds, can come from Europe. It is very evident that the cost of pro duction there is not likely to be reduced, with mines growing deeper and more -difficult to work, and operatives clarn oring for more pay, or deserting for other fields of labor. It really gcetns that, with our abun dant supply of coal and ore, lying close to the surface and so easily mined and brought together, we ought not only to 1)0 able to supply our own domestic 'Wants but those of nearly all the world. A helpless Pittsburg tailor, advertU pes for "cne or two steady girls to holp CQ pantaloons7 Swallowing a Mail. John Thomas was a man of keen wit, and -strongly tinctured with a love of the humorous. lie had been to Concord, and had seen the Fakir ot Ava perform his wonderful tricks of legerdemain, ; Ho was relating his ex perience in the bar-room of the Conway house, ami among other things he de clared that he had gaiued an insight into nyiny of the most wonderful tricks aud that he could perform himself. " For instance," suid he, " I can swallow a man whole." liah !", cried Tom Staple, a red faced woodsman, weighing at least two hundred pounds, p'r'aps you could swallow me?" " Yes." " I'd like to see yon do it." u I can do it." f I'll bet fifty dollars you can't." I take that bet." "Then let's see you begin." "Not now. I have just eaten supper 1 wiU do it to-morrow moruiug io the presence of as many ?itues as as you choose, and it shall be done in the square in front of the hotel." This was agreed to, and the money was put up. Hy the following morn ing the news that John Thomas was to swallow Tom Staples, whole had be come widespread, and a vast concourso embracing men, women and children, hal assembled to witness the wundor ful feat. At the appointed time the chief ac tors appeared in the square. John 1 homas- was smiling confidently, as though sure of sueves ; while Tom Staple looked a little tituid and uneasy, as though not quite tt rest concerning what was to become of him. " Are you ready?" asked John. " All ready." answered Tom. lie gin as soon as you pleae." 4t Will you have the goodness to take off your hut?" "Sartin." " Now your boots." Tom removed his boots. Next you will remove your cot. Those big brass buttons might stick in inv throat." - Tom took off his coat , and as ho threw it upon the ground one of the cooks t;m.e out of the hotel with a pan of melted larl aud a big whitewash brush, which was deposited by the side of John Thomas. "Now," pursued John, "you take off your stockings, and theu -remove your patitahions and shirt." " hh ; D;ye mean for me to strip stark naked.' querrcd Join, aghast. y Of course 1 do. The agreement was to swidlow you. You arc meat, but your clothes aint, nor were they in the bond. If you will strip 1 will give you a thorough greasing, and double the bet if you wi-h. I know I can swallow you or, at all events I can try." Tom gave up beat and invited his friends into the hotel- Cas County, TJo., Tragedy. We take from a special to the St. Louis Democrat the following addition al details of the terrible lynching aftair at (!unn City, Cass county, Mo., on the J.r)th inst. Yesterday evening Judge Stevenson, J. R Cline, Thomas Dutro, and others took the train on the Paola branch of the Missouri, Kansau and Topeka It. R. at llarrisonville, for Ilolden, ou their way to Clinton, Mo., to attend a railroad meeting. As the tram approached (Juno City Station, in Cass County, it ! was overhauled by au armed and naaslc ed mob, numbering about eighty men, by whom obstructions had been placed on the track to prevent the train pass-! ing. As the train was about stopping I at the station, the engineer perceived the mob and was about to run by, bat was stopped by the mob. who presented their pistols and threatened to shoot him if he did not stop. They then called for Gen. Jo Shel by, who replied that he was there, and if they wanted him to come after hi4n. They replied they did not want him, and he should not be hurt, and imme diately called upon Cline and Steven son, und commenced firing into the train. Stevenson concealed himself in a freight car attached to the train. Cline refused to appear until they assured him that he should not be hurt if 'he Would surrender. He then stepped out on the platform of (he station, with Ins pistol in his hand, reversed, in token of surrender. Immediately five or six men shot hint, and ho fell dead. They continued to shoot him after he was dead, until about forty balls had passed through his body. The ttiob then made a rush for the car in which Stevemsoo was concealed, and bartered down tthe doors and Bides DALLAS, OREGON, SATURDAY, JUNE 8, of the car with rails, and killed him in dvkc manner as OHue. They theu held the train for some 2Q minutes, hunting for the men who w.'ut on the bond of these men in the Cass County bond fraud case, and fiuding Dutro onu of them, killed him4 also. They called then for everybody who sympathized with their victims, swear iug they would kill all such. After this the obstructions were re moved and the train permitted to pro ceed, first taking out the dead bodies and laying them side by side ou the platform "Stevetrson was the Cotjnty Judge who issued the bonds which caused so much excitement in that county recently. Cline carried them to this city, and I)u tro was one of the bondsmen of Cline The mob is said to be thoriughly organized, and it.s existence hud been rumored in Harrisonvilie, and also its intention never to let S'evcn-on, Cline or their&oiidiKtni leave tlvat place il'ive. It was also rumored that they intended to attack this train, but at another sta tion, which having been passed, the danger was supposed to be over. The mob asserted at the tragedy that their work was but begun that they intended to kill all who h id been con nected with the is-ue of the houds. or were friendly to those who did. The people of Cass county are very much excited. 'and further murders are feared. Several of the men were re cognized as old bushwhackers, and f?l believed they wcte all of that class. Show Thyself a Man. Now, there are two course, either of which you can take. One is to say : 1 am not liv'mg, nor ruling nor dres j iug to well as my companuun, and Ij must have line clothes aud better fare.",; Tne other is to say, with stern manli-! ns : I h ive come here to make my; way; and honesty and simplicity de-j maud I should not live higher than I; myelf can earn the means of living. I will be no man's pauper or beneficiary. I will make what I take; and what I make and take shall support me'' j The discipline which you gt from the 'atter course of self-denial is better than going to college. Many a mart c rolled in U'urmnr gets no discipline but a young man who, having beeii reared and ttatne.d in self indulgence!, leaves his father s hoti?o and comes tji the city and says : I will be beholdco to no man. I can afford to live a plain as any man, both in regitd to di't and to clothes, if k is neees-ary to man hood, and I w ill not have any thing jf eauuotfairlye.ini; I will be indepen dent ami establish myself." Such ja young man gets a di.-eipline which s worth a university education. Rv form ing that, purpose, and adhering to it, he is educating himself in the very ele m on nf inunlnmi'i. He is Uiakinu: a man of himself. Do vou sunoose men think less Of you becan.se you dress plainly ? Fools may, but men do not. Do you think your chances of life are less because you feel ashamed to show a man where ysurroeiu is, and where you sleep ? "Why, many a man has s'ept in a barn who was better fhan many another who slept iu mansions or palaces. A man onght not to be ashamed to say: V I mm poor, and I cannot do so and sj." It is the curse of America, since there arc no orders of nobility hero, men are nt-k.wnrt.l tr lmit thev are poor. Ihe vouun man defends himself aud says: " I am not so poor as you take me to bp. Even sensible people yield to tne temp tation of the devil, and are ashamed to acknowledge that they work. Thomas Paink. Tt is related that when the fathers of our Republic Were in council, and in great donbt inl des pondency in relation to tho oppressive course of Great Rritain, Thomas Pine who was present, sprang from his chair and cried out, Let us declare Indepen dence !" This, we have reason to think, was the first public suggestion or mat, greai. event; perhaps the first, absolutely. It is told that when Paine was impris oned in Paris, by order of Robespierre, a man wan sent round each morning to mark a cross on tho cell doors of j tae prisoners who were doomed to execu tion on that day. One morning j that officer happened to be drunk; Paine's door stood open as he passed, and the fatal mark was made on the inside ! Presently, before tiro cxecutioneer; fcad come, the door was closed, and Paine was saved, to write tho second part of the u Age of Reason," and to mako the first declaration of American Indepen dence.

Mnny of our readers have doubtless heard of the famous traveling stone of Australia. Similar curiosittvs have re cently been found in Nevada, which arc described as being almost perfectly round, the majority of them as large as a walnut, and of irony nature. V hen distributed about upon the floor, table or any other level surface within two or three feet of each other, they immedi ately begin traveling towards a common centre, aud there huddled in a bunch like a lot of eggs in a nest. A single stone, removed to the distance of three and a halt feet, being released at once started off, wth wonderful and -some what comical celerity to join its fellows taken a-way four or five feet it remained motionless. They are found iu a region that is comparptively level, and it is nothin;; but bare rock. I hrough this barren region are little basins, from a foot to a rod in diameter, and it is in these that the rolling stones are found They are from the size of a pea to five or six inches in diameter. The cause of these stones rolling together is doubt less to be found in tho material of which they are composed, which appears to bo lodcstone or magnetic iron ore. " A rolling stone gathers no moss." Scien tijic American. A lady, who had just arrived in the city, wan attracted, bunday evening . sr by a little Doy on tho street.
