The Kepobtk* anii PoteT will leave it for others to Bay as to the iron in Harry, but from actual observation will give gome of the "mrtdeoise*" of iron iu . the iiau»«li»te neighborhood of Danbu-' ry. At the Rodger* mine, three miles. ■orth of tlj/i place, one vein, which has been v«rk«4 probably more than a hun dred years, presents a prospect thai would induce any one to believe that iron not only bad but does exist. Sixty feet befow tho surface the edge, or 'as miners term it) the strike of the vein May be teen along an underground pas a*Ce for wore than one hundred and lift} . fest, varying in thickness from two feet at the thinnest part to eight feet at the thickest end, «f solid, blaek iron ore, wku'h baa beea shown by analysis to contain from 60 to 30 yer cent, of solid iron. At the Frost or I'eppor uiiiie. one mile east of the above, which wa.- worked a great number of years, the vein is ten feet thick. Within less than half a mile east of the latter mine, in ' digging a grave a short time since, the veiu was eut into several feet. One mile north-east from the Pepper mine is the Cherry Tree hank. The ore is very fine hero, ilalf a mile east of the llod gtrs bank, the vein was found to be near the surface about three feet thick. One mile west of the Rodgers mine, a vein is seen two and a half feet thick n«ir the surface. One mile west of the last named place the vein is from two to three feet. At these places the ore is all rich and black, and with the excep tion of the Rodgers and Pepper mines, the diggings are only about from ten to twenty feet deep. One mile west of the last named place, we find ore of rather u different nature, known here as soap atone ore, but possessing the same qual ities as the blaek ore, all of whiuli is strongly magnetic and remarkably free from phosphorus, but the black ore be ing harder must in some cases be blast ed, while the soapstonc ore can be taken out with a There are some fifteen or twenty veins of this ore, or rather (as i» supposed) the veiu luis been cut at fifteen or twenty places in an area of about one and a quarter miles square, and varies iu thickness from one to ten feet. All the ore required to run the forges where it was ased lias been taken from near the surface, usually from open drifts not more than from five to fifteen or twenty feet deep. All the above named mines lie juit along the north side of Dan river, iu a belt one mile wide by about five lon if, while north of this belt there are quite a nuiuber of old mine* of equally us much impor tance as those meuti. n d, and outcrop ping! are seen at probably one hundred place*. So, if there is nothing in the way of Winston becoming in iron man ufacturing town but the want ot ore in Stokes, tho day is not very distant when she may become more noted for her iron indastries than she is now for her tobac co factories. \\ liile Win'ton may not (lossess quite so central a position as Greensboro, between the to bacco trade of Virginia and Western North Carolina on the one side, and the cotton *.rado of Eastern X ortli Carolina and tbe Southern States on tho other, or of the coal of Chatham and iron iu Stokes and Surry, wo always imagined that there was more in the man than the location, and what Winston lacks in natuial advantages she may mako up iu energy and enterprise. The twin towns of Winston and Saleiu, with their largo amount ofWtaJth, enterprise and ener gy, and Greensboro, with its superior natural adratitsges art the coming towns in North Carolina, Both have good, »bly conducted local papers, that arc not slow to Mit in the interest of their respective sections, which adds very ranch to tho prospurty of the places; and wbile the papers ara doing much to build up the towns, the eitusn* on ihoir part have not failed to appreoifte their efforts, as is shown dy the liberal sup port given tliem. Winston b»s capital, and Greensboro has capital ; both have apart in the tobacco trade, bnt the town tbat adds iron manufactories to its otb «r advantages, is the coming city iu North Carolina. "Making all due allowances," says tbe Baltimore American (Rsp,}'"for ex> aggeratioß and functional heat, it re iuain» alaar tbat the tariff issue may in the future beaotue what the slavery question was in the dectide from 1850 U 1860—a disorganiser of parties.— FoHuwati«ly, should the division come, If will not be along geographical lines. Th# Wa>hii»gtou Mrceapoiuleiit of the 1 New York , y un says that President Ar thur thinks new blood is wantod in his party, atft thai nothing hut heroic ineas- i ures will prevent the'success of the De mocratic party next year. Judge (Ires ham's ujifJOHitmetit was an earnest of the Prsajdent's intention* in respect to new i men. It seems that, having become j alienated from Conklini", Logan, 11atri- ; sou and others, he has to look around 1 for new friends, lie his pot it iu o his head that the people are tired of many |of these old fellows who have been 1 cracking the whip over the Republican party for twenty years, lie feels about ' it as he feels about this civil busiuess— that in a Country like this peopl j not ' only look for new blood, hut that it is j | absolutely neeessary that they should j have it. That is the reason why tires- j ham isi taken into the Cabin :t, all 1 his I influence w 11 be felt in Indiana bofore j long. Other changes and iufuMons of new blood are indicated by tuis step. The President knows that his party can't, win again with tho quarreling old fel- • lows at the head, and if there is salt i enough left to save the party he is goiug tij'try to li.iJ it. Conklinp's reeent speech before a New i York club h«j> elicited much comment. ! As his critittimn of the alleged mistake , • of the National Republican ''oiivention in failing to nominate Grant for a third : term can hardly bo construed as a feeler for the nomination next time, it would appear that the ex-Senator simply wish-1 od to rebuke, and show his independ ; ence of his party, while heaping eulogy unon his 01.l friend. Wo look upon i Coukling, now that he is out i f office, i as a sort of Achilles in the Republican ; ranks, lie is sour and defiant. lie I utters sentiments that ho would not have uttered while he was Senator. As |to tho declaration that the country was j iset back ten years by the failure to re r * nominate Grant tho third tiuie, that is ; weak as slop-water. } I 1 It is not likely that either Conkling ( |or Grant will contribute much aid to the Republican nominee in the next i Presidential campaign.

A home is refuge place from the storm, j the tret and worry of life. It is the place where the husband comes to a ratictnryy i lIOW smiles and loviiip words aaswer his smiles vid kindly greetings. It is a place where Br wife reigns in her benignity and grace; not, it may bo, the | graeo of outward beauty,or cultivation, but of true womanhood, where she rc-; j ceives honor and love even as she gave them both.
