:THE 'MEXICAN TREATY.
The Washington correspondent of the
Journal of Comm.-me says it is believed that
Mr. McLane will be able to make a treaty
with the Juarez Government very soon after
his arrival at Vera Cruz, which will be about
the2.oth:inst, Senor Lerdo will arrive there
a day _or two before, and his influence, it: is
known, Will be exerted in favor of a treaty.
Mr. McLane will not probably enter into
any: treaty which will not be acceptable to
this government and have a fair chance of
ratification by the Senate. The Senate will
not be disposed to ratify a treaty which the
Juarez Government cannot carry into efect,
nor to make a large draft upon the TreaSury
Ntii out 4 coi•respbuding benefit to this coun
try-J.li facilities for commerce and securi
ty of the interests of American citizens in
Mexico. ,
Whether the Juarez Government will ever
be able to carry any treaty into effect, is a
matter of more than serious doubt: Mexico
is dcOuntrY divided againSt itself. Miramon
holds the capital, and the - larger portion of
the territory. Juarez holds Vera Cruz and
a portion of the adjacent territory. It will
depend entirely upon the issue of the coin
ing campaign in
.Mexico whether the Juar
ez government or that of Miramon is to be
t//government. It strikes us that this
treating Nyith.Juarez is somewhat hasty on
the, part of the Adniinistration, toy if .luatw.
is compelled to succumb to his opponent,
all Mr. McLane's work will go for nothing.
Where civil war exists it can scarcely be re
garded . as good policy for our . government
to -recognize eithet,faction, unless so be
it is made to appear that Juarez is right,
and MiramOn wrong—a question which in
the complidated nature of .Mexican polities
it would be somewhat difficult to settle. --
TuE.Npv YORK ELECTION.
The -Republicans Republicans have crowed before they
were mit of the - woods. New York bas come
out - of the ordeal much better than was antici
paled, and the result shows the fast failin g pow
er of Republicanism. The returns give to Mr.
Jones, the Democratic standard bearer, for
Secretary of State, a majority of 1,270. Messrs.
Itichroondi Skinner and Elderkin, the other
candidates of the Democratic and Utica ticket
aro elected by small majorities. Thus, the cry
of the Republicans, which began with "We
have won the State by 10,000 majority," and
then dwindled down to 8.000, and then to 5;-
000, and then to 8,000, and then to 1,000, and

THE PROGRESS OF IRON MANUFAC
TURE.
For the past fifteen or twenty years, the
progress which has been made in the Manu
facture of iron has been rcittarkable. The
necessity for cheap production to supply
the constantly increasing demand, incident
to the railroad and other great operations
of the country, has turned the attention of
skilled and scientific men to the suhject, and
great improvements have been made in all
the branches of iron manufacture. It was
obvious that, in the production of raw or
pig iron and its conversion into maleal.le
iron by the various rolling mill processes, as
well as in the moulding and c.:isting depart
ments, that there was lialleh; to be done, :ind
much has been . done:
There is no reason to complain of the skill
of Ametican working-then in any of these
departments ; but the great advantage which
the foreign manufacturer enjoys in the
abundance and cheapness of capital, has
rendered it important, if not imperative,
that our manufacturers should give greater
attention to the great fundamental principles
of economy in the management of their
works.
For a few years the iron manufacturers of
Pennsylvania, and especially those of Pitts
burgh, have given great attention to
the subject of economical production.—
There MIS an 'obvious fact in their business.
and thatwas, that there was a great amount
of unnecessary and costly transportation
'performed, which was necessarily added
to the price of the merchantable article.—
Transportation is a business, but it is a non
productive one, which it is highly important
to limit to the minimum of alisohite neces
sity. It enhances the cost, while it does
not add to the valor , of article, produced,
and consequently diminishes consumption,
and affects productive industry badly.
The h. lin g or coals to our mills hy wag
on increased its cost from 0110 to Iwo cent,

'Pile importance of eeonouneal principles is
thoroughly recognized in this new movement
in our industrial enterprises. It is far chi,p
er for labor and capital to lie tmlployed
where the more bulky and heavier portion
of the raw material- is found limn to carry
themiundreds and thousands of miles to
sock the labor and capital employed
in their production and then bring
back the product. for manufacture. The
coal makes Pennsylvania the state wher e
capital can be most profitably invested in the
iron business.
A new avenuo for the econ omical and
profitable investment of capita] in the iron
business hasjust be en op ene d i n thi s c ity.

men are about to make their own pig no

THA NKSGIVI NG DA
A large mejority of the States of the Mon

l'hurs,lay next, the 2.lth or November, as a
lay of Thanksgiving. The observance , or
his day has grown to be an e•stahli.lied eus
oin in in,irly all the `Ztates. In this coun
ry we have so few national holidays that it
is not surprisin g that this one has becomes°
very popular among the people, and is not
merely_ :Li'imiesceil in, hut seized upon and
enjoyed with avidity. liy classes, both in
city and country. It a day which has no
parallel in the history of any other country.
Thanksgiving is peculiarly an American In
stitution, and wherever the man or woman
may be on the day of its annual recurrenee,
it iS connected with home ties, home recol
lection and home associations. Thanksgiv
ing appeals to the hearts of the people. It
speaks of the domestic fireside, of family
affections, of enjoyment, amusement and
pleasure. It has no authority of govern
ment, or of laW, but is a-voluntary offiriring
of the people of a great republic upon the
sacred . altars of their household gods .
Everywhere the appointment of this holiday
obtains the hearty concurrence and the well
writtetyproclamations of the Governors of the
States meet witha hearty response from the
people.

This institution, we are pleased to learn, le,
at the present time, in a more flourishing con
dition than it has been for years before.
Within the past year, the number of sub
scribing members has nearly doubled. But
no matter how large the membership of an
institution like this may be, it can be of little
practical utility, unless they regularly attend
and make use of its business advantages. Such,
we are assured, is hereafter to be the course
pursued. On Tuesday, at eleven o'clock, there
will be a meeting of the members at their
rooms, and horeaft4 at the mania hour the mer
chants and business men of the city will bold
regular meetings, fur business purposes. Every
member should make it a point of duty to at
tend regularly.

Another instrument of this class has been
I invented, the object-of which is to maintain a
uniform supply of the gas to the burners, un
affected by any varying pressure in the mains.
The gas from the supply-pipe is admitted
through a tubular passage into a chamber,
the upper part of which is closed by a flexible
diaphragm. From this diaphragm is sus
pended a piston, working freely up and down,
in the tubular passage, with a hole or holes,
cut in its side tor the admission of gas. An
outt,t ~r ides at the side of the chamber con
ducts the gas the burner. Any increase of
pressure beyond the regulated amount raises
the diaphragm, and with it the piston, thereby
partly closing the boles in the side of tho tubu
lar passage, and checking the admission of gas
to the burners. When this extra pressure' is
diminished, the diaphragm and the piston fall,
uncovering more of the holes,. and presenting
increased facility for the entrance of the gas
to the burners, by a very simple arrangement.

Fanny Yern, in Oa Now York Ledger thus
describes an " innocent creature" of fashiona
ble life :
"She is very petite, holds her head on ono
side, and peeps out of her eyes squirrel fashion.
She approaches you with a hop-skip-and jump.
which she imagines immensely fascinating, and
giggles out A silly laugh which she fancies is
musical. When company is in the parlor, she
runs across the room, stopping in the middle
of it, with her finger on her lip, (a favorite at
titude,) as if she were trying to remember
something, then she tosses back her bead,
smiles deprecatingly at herself, scuttles back
to an ottoman, with the hand her bracelet is
upon, uppermost on her lap, and relapses into
a pretty little reverie. Delicious, small lamb !
How interesting it is. One feels like tying a
blue ribbon around its neck and—strangling it.
Seward and Vorlies, , ,iPokopey and ?Kenos.—
A Shakesperean Analogy to the Editor of
the Herald.
The remark made by Seward to Col. Forbes
about the proposed servile insurrection, viz:
"You should not have told me of it," reminds
me of a scene in Shehespere's "Antony and
Cleopatra," between Pompey and Mon/VI,
Pompey has the 'representative men " of that
day on board of his galley, and they are all
having a jolly time—possibly, nay, very
probably, some of them are a little more than
three sheets in the wind. 3fenm, one of Pom
pey's mnserupulous captains, conceives a bold
idea, whiah will appear from the following.
We quote from Act 11., scone vii. of the play:
Menaa—(To Pompey ukle)—lf for the sako
of merit thou wilt hear me,
Rise from thy stool,
Pompey—l think thou art mad !
The matter?
M.—J. have ever hold my cap off td' thy for
tunes.
P.—Thou halt serv'd me with much faith :
What's else to say ?
Bo jolly, lords.
M.—Wilt thou be lord of all the world
P.—What say'st thou ?
M.—Wilt thou be lord of the whole world ?
That's twice.
P.—How should that be?
M.—But entertain it, and, .although thou
think me poor, I am the man
Will give the all the world.
P.-:-Hast thou drunk well?
(Pompey probably supposed his friend was
"tight.")
M.—No, Pompey, I have kept me from
the cup. Thou art, if thou dar'st to be, the
earthly Jove:
Whate'er the ocean pales, or sky inclips,
Is thine if thou wilt hav't.
P.—Show rno the way.
M.—These three world sharers, these com
petitors,
Are in thy vessel: Let mo cut the cable;
And when wo are put off fall to their throats:
All there is thine.
P.—Ah, this thou should'st have done,
And not have spoken mill In me, tis villainy,
In thee, it had been good servicd. Thou must
know
'Tis, not my profit that leads mine honor;
Mine honor, it. Repent that ere thy tongue
Hath so betrayed thine act; being done un
known,
I should have found it afterwards well done,
But must condemn it now. Desist and drink.

A Javan Criminal Versus a Royal Tiger.
A Jayan criminal was condemned by the
Sultan to fight a large Royal Tiger, whose fe
rocity was raised to the. highest point by want
of food '• and artificial irritation The only
weapon allowed to the human combattant was
a dagger with the point broken off. After
wrapping a cloth around his loft fist and arm,
the man entered the arena with an air of un
daunted coolness, and fixed a steady, mena
cing gaze upon the brute. The tiger sprung
ferociously upon his intended victim, and who,
with extraordinary boldness and rapidity thrust
his left fist into the gaping jaws, and at the
same moment, with his keen, though pointless
dag zer, ripped up the beast to the very heart.
In less than a minute the 'tiger lay dead at
the conqueror's feet. The criminal was not
only forgiven, but ennobled by his sovereign.
The Parents of Cromwell.
_Thos.. Cromwell, the Lord Protector's great•
grandson, was a grocer on Snowhill, and his
son, Oliver, the last male heir of the family, an
attorney of London. Several of the Protec
tor's grand-daughters' children sank to the low
est class of society. One, after seeing her hus
band die in the workhouse of a little Suffolk
town, died herself a nauper,leaving two daugh
ters, the elder the wife of a shoemaker, and
the younger of a butcher's son, who bad been
her fellow servant. Another of the great
Oliver's great grand-daughters had two chil
dren, who earned their scanty bread by the
humblest industry, the son as a small working
jeweler, and the daughter as the mistress of a
little school at Mildenhall.
li/GHFALUTIN.—Lady Morgan says, in one
of her works, that •one of the things worth a
'visit to Paris, is the exquisitb confectionery, so
light and so perfumed that it resembles con
gealed odors or a crystalization of the essence of
sweet flowers."
A Prussian officer recently at Weisbaden, a
famous German watering place, played his last
florin away. The bank gave him forty florins
to leave with. With that he went to Nanheim,
a small place famous for its baths, but vet in
its infancy. There be risked what remained
of his forty florins, and with them succeeded
in breaking the bank and coming away the
winner of £7,500. Ile, in the most honest,
upright manner. returned to Wiesbaden and
paid the bank the forty florins it so generously
lent him.

CONTRADICTION.
AN ADVERTLSEMENT in the Peoria
Prank-HA of November 4th, calls on Coal Diggers
to come to Peoria to work. It states that from 150 to :MO
can find employment. As we deem ouch an 'advertise
ment calculated to mislead many already nearly impov
erished miners, we take this occasion to state, there Is
now more coal-diggers hero than can find employment,
and warn all to stay away. Many that have been attract
ed here by such unwarrantable calls, are in a suffering
condition, after paying out their little-all to get here.
