From ttr Commercial Bulletin.
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.

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. Compulsory vaccination is known as

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. Jle was
a bright little fellow, but was rather
shaCbily dressed, and had an appearance
of beinr; bettor acquainted with the
shades than the lights of this world.
Whero is your homo my littlo son ?"
she asked.
4 I haiot got no home," ho answer
ed. " Got no home?" Sho repeated, tho
tears standing in her eyes.
' No mariU;" said he, equally affected;
"I board."
Tho sweet, sad faco of the lady sud
