The owners of The Crowder's Mountain Iron Works beg to call the attention of capitalists Iron manufacturers, stock and dairy men, and those kihi wbJi to settle colonies, to their property.which fi..vrs inuucemeuib lu uie classes above named. Thenrowjity consists oi blx Thousand Three Hundrea Acres of land, located in the counties of lia-mm and Ueavelaud. in UieState of Konh Car ciiud, at King's Mountain Iepot. on the Atlanta aaii Ciiarloite Air Line railway, now owned by the RL'iuuend ant Danville railroad company. The r,min? li;is been used for fifty years past as an iroii orouerty, and has ueen worked at various ii,i,k. but chiefly at the site of the celebrated leiiuw llidge Ore Bank, which has always yielded an ore noted for its richness in metallic Iron, and ita softness and toughness. This vein of ore, winch extends tor two miles In length, has been worked to the dept f 147 feet, shewing at that depth a vein of ore about 40 feet wide, and analyz ing as high as 66 per cent of metallic lion. This y:n Has uoi ueen wonea lor iweui,; jean, out uie wis set lorth can be fully shown. Various other veins have been worked, and within the past two jwrs vkj large deposits of iron ore have been dls cow.rtu at other points. Within the past eighteen mowiis.

They have discovered on the pinnacle ' a tms mountain, which is 10U0 feet above the level l;uid, ij,ht feet above the sea level, a vein of ore ti&i! feet wide, which crops out at various points from the top to the bottom of the mountain, show-, leg in one place aboiit 2U feet ot solid vein. This fern can be traced over the top of the mountain for ws a mile, and this deposit alone would afford an almost inexhaustible supply of ore, easily worked, and above the water line. In addition to this four ' other veino mve been found on this mountain. Tne ore is a mottled gray ore, showing on analysis from tb to 65 per cent, of . metallic iron, with a small amount ot titanic acid, and without any sul- paur or phosphorus. The quantity of ore in this mountain is simply inexhaustible and oi good duality. . -- - - . . Besides Crowder's Mountain the owners Dossess Ring's Mountain, for about seven miles, whose piuuacie is the highest nouit of land from mch- mond to Atlanta, except ML Airy, in Georgia, and . they have reason to believe this mountain is full of ore also.

Progress Made br the Society or New tmeas lit. rormento'SKeport. The Cremation Society of Nevr Or leans held a meeting on Tuesday night last, at vrhich there was a full attendance. Dr. Formento, who had just returned from the meeting of the American Public Health Association at St. Louia, was present, and made a rert in which he repeated the chief points of the two papers on ere mation read before that body and prepared by the Rev. Dr. JBengless,' chaplain of the United States, navy, and Mr. J M. Keating, of this city; Dr. Formento said i "Several orators, among' whom Dr." f John Morris, of caitmiore: ;ur. t3ternoerg, j ot tne United States army; Dr. Bernago, of est. JLouis; Dr.' liaymona, or" isrooa- lyn ; - Prof. Ropi, : of - Baltimore, and 1 e a' it . j ' . a l 1 : myseii rouowea in me uisuysston. Most of : them were in favor of the cremation, and I can truly say, with out vanity, that those on our side of the question had the advantage. -1 finally ; offered "a ; resolution,: whiclv af tor some modifications accepted by me, was unanimously earned, name ly: That a committee of seven be appointed to study: and advise upon and report at the next meeting of the American .Public, Uealtn Association the best methods of disposing of the dead.'-: I was made chairman of that committee, with the assistance of the Kev. Dr. Ueuglass and ottiers. whose names I have not present at this mos ment. An important: step forward has thus been made, and the question of cremation will now come up with more authority before the JNauonai Sanitary Association at its next meet ing in Washington, in December, 1885." Mr. Levy, secretary of the New. Orleans society, reported re markable progress - throughout the world, in the" niatter of cremation since the last meeting of the society, and he hoped A'that ere the lapse of another -month a plot of-'ground would be secured for: the building of a crematorium." Already California, New Yorki Pennsylvania and Wash ington City have societies, organized for tne same purpose.and otner states and cities are moving in the same direction. " ' Sbakspeare and Sir Walter Scott. ; Contemporary Beview. . It is often amrmed that a great poet is the outgrowth and flower of a great age, ana this is true of a cer tain class of great poets. They " live in the midst of great men, and with in the rumor of great deeds: they use a language which lias been grad ually moulded to poetic purposes by poets who have been .their precurs ors, ' and ; whose" fame , they absorb.' Appearing at the right moment, they reap the harvest which has been sown , . , , . x : Dy oiners. . ouDjects are waning ior them, style and manner - have been prepared for them, and a public full of sympathy and congeniality wel comes them. Shakspeare and Wal ter Scott may be said - to ; belong to this class. The first is the normal product of the Elizabethan age, which has filled his imagination with its great deeds and the great changes it has wrought, c scott, too, naa, in tne first place, the advantage of models in whose steps it was safe to - follow, since -Shakspeare himself and the great novelist had created the style and smoothed the path tor him, ana since in two centuries of a flourishing English literature : there had grown up a common understanding between the authors ana tne puDiic. cut, moreover, the . teeming imagination which furnished out Scott's poems and romances was also in a certain sense the result of fortunate circum stances. . It was jnot the mere acci uehtof a gifted nature, but the result ot local: ana iamuy associations.

The Art Building will be done by Nov; 10; the asphalt walks by Nov. 15. -The Government liuilding has two thirds of the flooring and nearly all of the roofing - laid, and will be turned over by Nove ls. - " . - - .' - it will thus be seen that the worK has been pushed .forward with starK line raniditv in the nast few- weeks. and that everything is in readiness to open the Exposition fwith great eclat next month; it has been: deemed wise, however, to fix the opening day at Dec-16, in order to begin under the most auspicious circumstances. and have here for that great event the Presidents of the United States, Mexico and the Central American republics. -- - Elephants Afraid of Mice, v -' Indianapolis Sentinel: . I was at the winter quarters of the Barnum circus at Bridgeport, Conn., in the elephant pavilion, watching Professor George Arstingstall rehearsing hia twenty odd pachyderms in the military drill. He is rather a small man, and I- ex pressed to him my astonishment at the abject fear which "that ; herd of enormous beasts Jstood of a man of his stature. - - "Perhaps it . is insignificance thev fear most," replied Arstingstall with a laugh; ''think, for instance, of their lear or a mouse." I derided the thought as preposter ous.! uut xhe touowing day,-soon after I entered the pavilion Arsting stall came in with a small mouse trap hidden under his coat,- and had me walk with him to the circular plat form m the centre of the training ring. The elephants were all stand ing with their heads to the ring.: while 1 was looking on, Arstiog- stau .stopped, and opening the trap trapped a tiny mouse from .itu With- n three seconds theelepnants--every one ot them x believe were trumpet ing and surging in a mad sort of way. I do notrememper to have ever made faster time than 1 did in getting out of the pavilion. ',. "The secret of this singular fear." Professor Arstingstall .afterward ex plained to me,, is that in their native countries there is a flying moth about the size and very similar in appear ance to the mouse. This moth, the bite of which is poisonous and painful, gets into the . ear of the elephant, where his trunk cannot reach to dis lodge it. This fear is instinctive Elephants are also as much afraid of a small bird this because of a bat in the east which attacks them with a tortuous sting.". -:sy 7.rAk . : Where Womea Work. . . . 11 Perkins.

'Ihe lawyer was again dunned. and, as be was responsible ' for . the costs he paid -them. A short - time ago he met his cliennt and upbraided hun for not sending the money.

Imagine ; how the lawyer's gravity was upset when he was shown post master Brown's money order advice which the client had not sent to clerk Harrison, but kept it as he would an express receipts The poor fellow thought - the ; money had gone off properly, as his experience : with monej orders was limited to that one transaction.
