Tho Hocky Mountain Presbyterian, in commenting on this fact, says that "when the sun is giving its good night kiss to our westernmost isle, on the con Hum of Hehring's Sea, it is already Hooding tho Holds and forests of Maino with its morning light, and in tho eastern part of thatStato is inoro than an hour high. At tho very moment when the Aleutian fisherman, warned by the approaching shades of night is pulling his canoe toward the shore, tho woodchopper of Maine is beginning to make the forest echo with the stirring music of his ax." * Tim extent to which the branches of a higher education, Herman, music and drawing, are introduced in the lower grades of the public schools to the exclusion of Knglish studies has been attacked in a minority report made to the Chicago school board from a committee on option* ul studies. Chicago has school rooms large enough to hold at any one time but 10,000 of the 125,000 children of school age. Un the average, children in Chicago attend a school but III) days before leaving the public schools altogether, aud onefourth of the children in school, it was found on inquiry, had uvcragtnl but 100 days of schooling. Of this limited time, which must of necessity inctude all the instruction received in public schools in reading, writing and arithmetic, one-sixth goes to learning to read music. Taking the entire number of children collectively, and the exclusion of music and drawing would add one month a year to the instruction of 4.'#,000 children in common school studies; and three-fourths of these children do not stav; more than long enough to receive u rudimentary drill in thoHe .studies under the most favorable training. The Chicago school authorities decided, however, to continue the present course in music aud drawing, a course arranged for 12 years, although not one child in a hundred completes it. A Valuable DlitCNt, We acknowledge the receipt of an admirably condensed budget of statistics in regard to the iron trade of the country from Messrs. K. L. Harper & Co., of Cincinnati. They have put into a series of tables, in nicely printed shape, the facts and llgures recently furnished by James M. Swank, Secretary of the American Iron ami Steel Association, to the meeting of manufacturers at Pittsburgh, home of these figures we have already given to our readers, but it will do no harm to go ovir the same ground a little in order to get at the useful information furnished by theso condensed tables. Beginning with ISoOthe annual production of pig was 73(5.218 tons. The yield increased year by year till 1873, when the heaviest total was reached? 2,WW,'278. During the then succeeding years production decreased, the total of 1870 being 2,093,2110 tons. From that time it has increased, last year's production being 2,577,301 tons. The stock of pig iron on hand at the close of 1S78 was 574,505? over 200,000 tons less than at the close of 187-4. These figures prove a healthful growth of consumption. Taking for a guide the statements of one Philadelphia foundry, an idea of the variation in price of pig iron can he obtained. In 1844 the average price per ton was $25 75. The highest average price for any mouth was reached in August, 1S04, $73 02. For any one year, 1804, furnished the highest average, $51) 25. The average price for November, 1878, was $10 50, the lowest ever reached. The same year furnished the lowest uverage, $17 02. The average for May, this year, was $18 50. Since the first of January the advance in price has been steady. The price of iron rails,American, has varied as much. The price?and in each case average price is given?in 1848 was $02 25 per ton, in 1804, $120; in 1878, $33 75. In September, 1804, the highest price was reached for any month, $153 75; the lowest, in October, 1877, $3250. The lowest prices in the history of the American iron trade were reached last year. This year's prices are bettering and production and manufacture are increasr ing. Uepairsof railways aro calling for a great deal of iron, and an increase of construction is making itxelf felt. Already tins year more miles of new road have been constructed than during all of 1878, Steel rails are used by the leadiug corj>orations, ami u wise economy is thereby growing, it being estimated that replacement is lessened fully 70 per cent by their l>? ..:i 1.1 I... .Miki UtJtt. iWHWiuvr n?'ui innn mini iui ji.u cw per ton iu 1S7II; lust yenr for $-15 f>0, and even loss. Kail mills and car shops are driven lo their fullest capacity at present, and in most cases hare orders far ahead. In theso llgures and facts are clear proofs of bettered times. The railways report largely increased business, and from all aides, and every department of industry come the same joyful stories. The shadow has been deep and heavy; the light is growing bright and clearer. Uitllrond Muth rn. Mr. Vice President Keyser's idea of the railroad problem, as expressed to an InTKi.i.uitcscKU interviewer last winter, is finding its verification in certain statistics' just published in regard to steel rails by the ttaifontl Gafltf. From these it is shown that the annual saving in railroad repairs effected by the two of steel rails in I his coumry is pmcim ai3?u,w",wu. ams i calculation is based upon 1Kb fact that In 1872, when tlio extensive uso of steol rails begun, nearly 11 porcentof the rails laid hud ho ho ro-plaueil yearly, while in 1878 only 5J pur cent had -to be re'lald.- This is not the only saving. About 100,000 miles of track are built in the United States, and to re-lay 11 percent of this in 1872 would have cost $88,530,000 at the price of rails then: to replace f?? per cent now, tlie average share needed for repairs to* day, coaU $18,502,000, a difference o( $70, 000,000, or more than 3 per cent on the capital stock of all the railroads In the country, in view of these facta, it la not strange that theroada,it lower freight rates, are making more money than ever before. On n single rood of heavy trafllc, thla saving can be given more exactly. It cost the Erie $2,080 a mile annually to buy Us new rails for repairs in 1872; since then the road baa been laid with steel rails, the amount of new rails needed has thereby been reduced, and the price of the mils has fallen besides; so that the rails now purchased for repairs cost but $25!) per mile yearly. This, on the entire line of the road, is a saving of $1,800,000 annually. Apropos to this matter of railroad expenses, we notice that Commissioner Kink testified before the railroad committee at New York the other day that under the present pooling arrangemeut the all-rail Jute for 100 pounds from Xew York to Chicago is "5 cents for flnt-clasa freight, 00 cents for sccond-cluss, 50 cents for third aim lony tor lourm-ciass. ine unes using lake transj>ortatiou beyond Hullulochnrge 21 cents for fourth-class freight. The New York Centrui gets about 4) per cent o! the JO-cent arrangement. Mr. Fink said that there would he a loss in charging lessthan 14 cents per 100 pounds on fourth-class freight from New York to Chicago and anything under 15 cents from Chicago to Now York. The Haltiuiore ami Ohio road runs twenty-live and thirty full freight cars to a train, but the Pennsylvania road uses heavier engines and has M care to a train; the Erie carrits an average of 27 to JH) full cars ou through trains. The cost of transportation on the Krio road is higher than on the New York Central, but coal on the Erie is cheaper. Its machinery is also better adapted for haulittg up grades as compared with othor roads. The roads doing the largest amount of business can be operated more cheaply than roads doing a small business. The cutting of railroad rates, Mr. Fink considers highly injurious to public inter ests. The railroads are public servants and ought to serve all persons alike as common carriers. An insolvent railroad is a dangerous rival to solvent roads, in competition as to rates, because the insolvent roads can carry goods at a rate that would only pay running expense?. As a general rule distance is taken into account when there is competition. In other cases the char ges are too apt to he arbitrary. FROM THE LOTUS LAND.

CorritHMJiideuce of (lie Intelligence!-. Scarcely had the excitement attending the arrival and departure of the Governor of Singapore and his wife, Lady Hobinson, subsided (the object of the Governor's visit was to confer upon His Majesty, the King of Shun, in the name of Her Majesty, the Queen of England, the order of St. George and St. Michael) than the usual monotony of this floating city was again and more elleotually broken by the arrival of ex-President Grant and party, consisting of Mrs. Grant, his son, Colonel Grant, of the U, S. Army, Hon. Mr. liorie, late Secretary oi the U. S. Navy, Dr. Keating, Mr. J. It. Young, of the Now York Herald, ami the Secretary of Gen. Grant. This distinguished party reached Bangkok on the 14th and left on Friday last, the 10th of the month. They were received by both natives and foreigners in a most cordial and enthusiastic manner, wry guuii>uif; iu wie .viiicnuuiiM, wiiouru the principal missionaries residing here. I quote from tiie Siam Adnrti/er: "A salute of 21 guns announced to the population of the city that America's distinguished General and ex-President had arrived and was being honored as the Government's guest. Koyal carriages were in waiting, and after tho salute the party were conveyed in them to the beautiful and spacious* palace Sarahuroni, the residence of His Koyal Uigheps Somdetch Chow/a Jfaiiunmtjwc Satraiuj II'ougn, the full younger brother of lils Majesty the King. No other foreign gUest has'been thus highly honored. Ex-President Grant was assigned to this palace so that it would bo possible for His Majesty the King personally to visit his distinguished guests without violating the rules of .Siamese IVUI ill CUIJUUlil-. ""Monday, April 14th?In the morning the narty visited Ilia Grace, the ex-llegent. In the afternoon their Majesties, the First and Second Kingp. In the evening they dined with Ilia Kxcellency, the foreign minister. The principal American residents and many Siamese noblemen wore honored with invitations. "Tuesday, April loth-In the morning the party were escorted to visit the Siamese temples, Wat Poh, Wat P'ra-kew and the museum. The former is a mugniflcont temple, containing the largest im ye of Buddah, in u reclining posture, and the next is the rich royal chapel, containing the costly and renowned emerald idol. iS'ext the jiarty called on II. li. II. Prince, S?miktch Cltoitfa Mahah Mahluh, the uucle of H. M., the Iving.and witnessed a review of the war elephants, and mot H. M.; after which they took dinner withthc youngest full brother of 11. M., the King. Tuosdav afternoon H. M. returned the General's visit, at the Palaco Sarahnrom. That evening there was a grand reception at the palace, where manv of the Princes, nobles and foreign # residents, including nearly nil the Americans, wero present. "The narty dined with the King on Wednesday After tho dessert was placed upon tho table, II. M., tho King, arose, called upon the guests to fill, up their glasses, and in an impressive *and elegant speech \Knglish) proposed the health of the President of the United States, coupling with it Uiat of his distinguished guest. His Majesty referred to the pleasant feeling at present existing between Siamand the United States, and hoped it might, as he had every reason to believe it would, ever be continued. Gen. Grant replied in a brief but forcible manner. His renmrks wero listened to with great attention, and were much applaud-* etl. Thursday tho General went yachting, and Friday he closed his visit to Siam by meeting the American citizens in the United States Consulate at a tillln and loft for Singapore in the steamer Bangkok that evening. We hopo much from this visit Under the blessings of theKingof Kings, it cannot but be productive of great good. Prayerfully and patiently, against many dim- , culties, the work of the I*ord is steadily advancing in this heathen land.
