Tue New Yerk tfcrahl calls addition te the fact that ttie demand for foreign ores Is largely, If net chlclly, from tlie Itesaoiner steel makers, numbering hoiiie eleven concerns, which require an Iren free from phosphorus for their ordinary process of nmmifacture, There nre in this country very large and numerous deposit! of Iren ere, In the Seuth espe cially; but they are generally charged Kith phosphorus, and there Is a scarcity of ores fit for the making of Iren sulta sulta ble for the Bessemer process of steel making. Hut, some years age, a ceuple of Englishmen invented a lining for the steel converters, composed mainly of lime, which serves te free from their phosphorus the molten iron charged into the converters, and makes it possible te use the most Inferior and cheapest Irons In making llie steel. The llcrahl com plains that that this process is net used Jby the American Bessemer steel manu facturers, although they bought the patent for this country and se control the process. It urges that they are ro re ro spensible for the failure te utilize the natural ores of the country, nnd its charge is te a certain extent true. The Themas-Gilchrist process has net been used until lately ; and for the reason that the steel syndicate found it profitable enough, during the high prices for Bessemer rails of the past few years, te maintain their old process, and had no inclination te interrupt their business te cheapen their product. New, however, the situation is different, nnd the Themas-Gilchrist invention Is being tried. The Pennsylvania steel works, we beliove, nre making steel by it. They are enabled te use in their converters iron made largely of rolling mill cinder, which is the cheapest iron made. It is theclnder residuum of puddlingand heat lng furnaces, and bears about fifty per cent, of metallic iron, but is largely charged with phosphorus. A singular thing about the manufacture of Besse mer steel by the Themas-Gilchrist pro cess is that a large percentage of phosphorus about one and a half per cent. Is desired in the iron charged into the converters, a smaller percentage net being as readily eliminated ; which seems strange, and tends te threw doubt upon the real utill ty of the process. It may be that alack of entire confidence in its advantage has largely caused the hesitation manifest ed by the steel manufacturers in its adoption. Certainly If they arocenQ dent that It will enable them te utilize cheap irons, they have sufficient induce ment te ardently embrace it. The re. marks of the Herald, however, call at tention te the fact that our patent laws need amending. A patent is given le cause of the advantages of Invention te the country. But there is no such ad vantage if useful inventions nre net utilized by these who are given the ex cluslve right te utilize them. It ought net te be in the power of any men te parabze nu invention that they may think hurtful te their interests, by buy ing the patent, which was given by the nation for the purpose of encouraging improved methods of manufacture. An easy remedy would be afforded by pro viding that the patent should be reveca bio after a year from Its issue, if the fall ure of a proper effort te utlllze It should ba complained of and shown te the pa teut etllce, utter due notice te the par ties. Society ana Politics. Mr. Wise, of Virginia. Is subjected te a great deal of criticism Just new, be cause he unguardedly told the truth. It is true that he wns en oath befoie a committee of Congress inquiring into the Danville riot or some such matter, and it might be supposed that it would be admitted that under the circumstan ces, and being a congressman, he should tell the truth. The critics of Mr. Ve would probably admit the preposition that a congressman ought te tell the truth under oath, if put te them in that way. But Mr. Wise is a politician, and being presumed te leek forward te a return te Cengress, it la deemed injudicious in him te eay that he meets his negre constituents, though they be members of the state Legislature, only at his kitchen deer and net at the front portals of his mansion. It is considered that a sujyircssie ten would la this case have testified te Mr. Wise's geed Bense; and the doc trine la ndvanced, ns based upon the sol sel ldest foundation of experience, that a wlsa man will net tell the truth, if he is a politician, when the truth will hurt him, even it he be under oath and in Congress; In fact, his belng in Con gress should teach him that wisdom, Mr. WIeq seems te have been Buflleiently impressed by the advlce he haa received since he testified, te nppear before the committee and request a correction of his testimony. The correction he desired te make wns that ft single negre member of the Virginia Legislature, who was the son of his cook, had ceme te his kitchen deer and sent word that he wanted te see him ; and he had seen him in his yard ; his reperted testimony being that Vir ginia negre legislators In general came te see him In his kitchen. Mr. Wise does net nlllrm that this species of people visit him in his parlor, and In fact Bticks te his statement that he cannot maintain his social status and meet the negre socially ; and leaves us te lufer that he proposes te maintain his social peal tieu at the hazard of his nnlitip.ni ene. We aympathize with Mr. "Wise in his dilemma. We suppose that it was summertime when he met the colored legislator, Ben of his cook, in his yard, nnd that the conferenco took place under the uuibrageeua limbs of a wide spreading oak. The place wa3 proper nnder the conditions for even a whlte folks meeting. If it had been winter it would have been otherwise. Mr. WIbe mwitba glad that he is new in Washing. ten in the winter, and is net embarrassed by a decision ns te where he shall meet his negre friends wheu the yard la tee cold. We trust that Mr. Wise will net get jnte any serious trouble with thorn for (lie truth that he has told. It would boead if he should fall a sacrifice te It. Mr. Wise has trouble enough te make his social Inequality run along smoothly with his political equality practices, and it Is te be hoped that he will net be re quired te He te keep the favor of his duskv constituents. Wi:r.L, what have the emotional featherhcads, who Justify the sheeting down of men accused en the testimony of the shooter's feniale relatives, te say about this case up in Ilazleten V Slnce the man shot by a young woman's ex cited undo In this case has died, she de clares that her dead lever was an iune cent man and that his conduct wai always that of a gentleman. This " vln dlcatien of family honor" turusoutteb a common case of murder, the only pal -liatien for which was nu imagined statu of facts, which, If true, would net in luw nnd reason justify the killing, although a falsa and misled public sentiment has of late approved such a dectrine of pri vate vengeance. Logically these who Justified the acquittal of Pnll Thompson for killing his man must approve the clearance of this Ilazleten homicide who3ecrlmo Is theoutcemo of the uew doctrine which has carried some usually sensible people away with It. A county historical society is about organizing in Chambersburg, and simi lar associations have been In actlve operation for some years In ether parts of the state. They are found te be of great interest te these who participate in their work and of much value te their respective communities. Lancaster, as one of the eldest counties of Pennsyl vania, with nene richer in material, should long age have had nu historical society, with a proper building and library. As yet, attempts at local his tery have been abortive, because the work Is tee comprehensive for single spasmodic efforts te accomplish, but It would be vaUly aided by twenty years' operations of an historical society. Much valuable material is lest for the lack of some such organization te gather it together.

A Worcester firm bought up all the barbed who patent Issued during the war aud for ten years after re-ifsued them and crushed out tbe smaller factories of the West. The monopoly thou raised tha price of the wire two cents per pound, a burden that was particularly felt iu Iowa. A plucky association of farmers in the latter statu have engaged in the manufacture of tbe wire, and at the present time tbey nre slightly ahead of the Woreostor monopoly by reason of roeout United States suprome court decisions against the nbuses of ro re ro lssued patents.

A VIIUUNlt KA1U1KIC3 AwrilljUltl.MK, Alter HIIHug UK Wife and Tlire Ulilhlrcu He Hren Ilia Heme and Sheet Hlin slt Driiit On Sunday list Jehn Glascock, a well known and iullueutial farmer of Fmiuler county, Virginia, livltig two and a half litres Iretn Uelaplinne station, en the tr giiiia Midland read, murdered his cutire family, consisting of a who aud three children, and then committed sulolde by sheeting himself through tbe henrt, in n piece of weeds near ills heuse. The ilrst iutimatleu the neighbors had that thoie was anything wrong at the Glascock heuse was the npitcatance of llame nud smeke through the windows, hetweeu eight aud ntue o'clock Sunday merulug. A number of people ran te the house, with the Intention of rendering assistance but found te their surprise, that tbe doers and windows were securely belted and barred en tbe in-lde aud that tbe building was te all appearances deserted As tbe ihmcs were making rapid progress it was mccssary te rtfect nn eutrauce at once iu some way nnd tbe first comers seen suc ceeded iu battering down one of tbe doers and eventually puttiug out the tire. Ne living person was found iu the house, but ou a bed iu the family bed room, ever which coal oil bad beeu poured aud then ignited, were found the dead bodies of Mrs. Glascock and her infant son, the latter greatly disfigured by tbe llames. Beth had been shot through the head with a revolver and the ruurdervr, ns if te make sure of the death of Mrs. Glas cock, bad sbet horn second and third time through the body. Ou the tloer, near the bed, lay tbe bodies of tbe two otber children, Redney and Kmily, both shot through the head aud the former sbet also twice through tbe body. Iu a piece of weeds overlookiug tbe farm beuse, at a distance of about three- quarters of n mile, was found the dead body of Jehn 01 isceck, the husband and father, who, after deliberately murder ing his whole family nnd totting tire te his house, had gene te this piece of weeds and committed suicide by sheeting himself through the heait with the same Smith & Weeu revolver which be bad used in kill ing his wife an i children. It new appears that Glascock, while laboring under seme hallucination or n lit of temporary insanity, dreve away the servant early last Suuday merniug, murdered his family, poured coal oil ever tbe bed and set tire te it, fastened up the house nnd then weut te tbe cibiu of a ueighber aud pretended te be in need of a servant te cook breakfast for himsnlf and family.

He then retired a few paces farther into the weeds and shot himself through the heart. The murderer ami Buicide was the son of wealthy parents and had a very large and influential family connection His young wife, Maria Glascock, was the daughter of Hred Frazier. formerly of Louden county, Va,, and new a oitizeu of .Missouri lhe lather and mother and three children were buried, side by side. en Monday in tbe cometery near Middle- eurg, va.

Lat week Mrs. Jerdau's iather died and tbe family went te the inucrai, leaving Small and the servant in obarge of the house. As the funeral was iu a drstaut village tbe Jordans were obliged te remain away ever night. At the supper table Friday night Mits Gallo way suddenly remarked te Small that she wanted te get married and asked hlra if he would marry her. He laughed and 8aid he was net iu necd of a wife. Sha renlied that " she wanted a husband and he must marry her. Small made response that it requited two te make a barcalu of that kind and thought the girl was ieking, but wheu he again positively refused te be ner uuseanu hue angrily UeelareU that he weuiu never marry any ether woman. Small retired te bed about 8:30 o'clock He seen fell asleep but was awakened some time in tbe night by a bright light shining iu his eyes. It came from a lamp held by M.ssOalleway, who was standing by his bodside. In her right baud she grasped a large butcher knile, which hIie held as if about te strike. Small sprang up and caught the girl by the wrist and tried tp take the kuife from her. She de clared' that she had oerao te kill him be oause be bad refused te marry her. Iu tbe struggle tbe lamp fell te tbe lloer and went out. Small dragged the girl te the deer of his room aud succeeded in gettiug her our, but he had net bcen able te se eure the knife. Thore was no leek en the deer, and as the girl took up a position ou tbe eutside and declared that sbe would wait until he oame out aud then kill him. Small was obliged te held the deer all tbe reat of the night. Wheu daylight appeared the servant left her pest aud went downstairs. Small thou dressed and stele away from the heuse. When Mr. and Mrs. Jerdan re turned en Saturday morning, tbey found Mies Gallewny staudiug at the breakfast table with the butcher knlfe in her hand. She told them she was waiting until Small oame te breakfast, and then she inteuded te kill him. The girl was taken into custody and was found te be insane.
