New Process or Making Iron.

The following article from the transactions
of the Institution Of Civil Engineers, London,
will be read with interest by ohr Iron Masters.
If this method should prove successful. it would
be of vast benefit to this State.
A new method of making maleable iron di.
rect from the ore at one process it is the in
ventlon of Mr. Clay, and is used at the Shifoa
Works, near krkintiltcch. BY this process
mixture of dry hnmat,te, or other rich Iron ore,
is ground up fine, with about four-tenths Of its
weight of small coal this mixture is allowed
to pass gradually through hopper in an oven
adjoining, and forming part of species Of pud-
ling furnace, into which given quantity is
drawn at stated times, when thoroughly and
uniformly heated. The charge is then puddled
in the usual manner, but with less labor than
when working plate Iron; and in about an hour
and a half the Iron is produced in malleable
state, At for shipping and rolling into bars Af.
ter another process of filing and rolling again.
melleable into Iron bars are produced of a quail
ity [as was stated BY some members presenD
superior to the cable bolts or best Iron usually
made by the long and expensive process of cal.
ching the ore, smelling in the blast furnace,
and refining the pig Iron, and the saving offtel
is necessarily very great.
The Iron was stated, also, to be capable of be-.
ing converted into steel of superior quality, and
when worked BY Mr.. Heath's plan, of uniting
manganese in the process, cast steel was pro-
duced, which possessed the property of welding
or uniting to Iron and in consequence, all the
cutlery, which was made of sheer steel was now
made of cast el--The cast Iron produced by
the scoriae, or refuse Stag of this process, is of
better quality, in consequence of the absence of
phosphoric acid, which is ordinarily present in
the lime stone and as a flux in the blast furnace.
This discovery may be the means Of working
comparatively unopened mines of hematite OF
rich quality existing in lanes nshire, Devon.
shire, and Cornwall, all Of which could be
brought into use by this means; and if, as asser-
led, the Iron made good steel, England would
be rendered independent of Sweden.
The discussion was renewed upon Mr.. Clay s
process Of making malleablc Iron from hema.
tite ore--It was shown that out of twenty five
thousand tons of steel made annually in this
country not more than twothousand FIVE hun
dred tons were made from the best quality OF
Swedish Iron the rest was made from inferi-
or chatcoal Iron from Russia and Germany or
from English Iron, which was not we'll calcu-
lated for converting"

DoAEsrlc LIfE.-No man ever prospcred in
the world without the cooperation of his wife.
If she unites in mutual endeavors, or rewards
his labor with an endearing smile, with what
confidence will he resort to his merchandise or
farm fly over lands sail upon the seas meet
difficulty and encounter danger-if he knows
he is not spending his strength in vain, but
that his labor will be rewarded by the sweets
of home. Solitude and disappointment enter
into the history of every mans life and he is
bu, half provided for his voyage, who finds but
an associate for happy hours, while for his
morths of darkness and distress, no sympathir'
ing partner is prepared.

TURNING The TABLEs-We Of the North
have been too much in the habit of turning our
attention to the South and West for details of
Lynch Law, murders, &c. The New Orleans
Picayune thus turns the table over.
Our Northern papers received yesterday
we received two mails Of ofthem-contaned un-
der, brutal violence TO women and children,
thefts, pickpocketings and the like. We have
concluded to spare our readers the details, which
are disgusting and uninterestng.

A PIGEON RoosT.-The following account of
one of the enormous Pigeon Roosts ofthe West,
is from the Miners Express, published at Du.
buquc, Wisconsin
"A Mr.. Mcdowell came TO our office yester-
day. and told US that there is an immense pi-
geon Roost in the forks of the Musquuketa in
Jackson county, such as has never been seen
in this couutry before--it is three miles long
and a half mile in width There can be no
estimate made of their numbers. Their roost-
ing places are about a mile distant from their
nests and feeding places, being three in number,
and each one covering section of land and
in passing to and fro, they darken the air with
their number, and break down young trees with
their weight, and hundreds are killed by getting
entangled in the falling limbs and branches.
The people kill them with clubs, and the noise is
so loud that when gun is fired amongst them,
the report cannot be heard-and person can
stand in one place and shoot all day, the birds
returning rs soon as you can load. They are
building their nests and the people are alarmed,
lest they may destroy their crops"

..raordinary Power OF RecoSni in q
Tiger.

-'r"or"'""ry P"M.r or Recognition In a
One day last week a singular circumstance
occurred in Wambwelrs Royal Menagerie,
corroborative ofthe re,entive memory said to
be possessed by this most vicious of the forest
tribe, the tiger. A sailor, who had been stroll
ling round the exhibition, lettering here and
there to admire and identify some of the ami
mails with those he had seen in far distant
clmes, was attracted by the strange noise made
by tiger, who seemed irritated beyond endu-
rance. Jack, somewhat alarmed, sought the
keeper TO inquire the cause of SO singular a
display of feeling, which he remarked, became
more boistercus tho nearer he approached the
animal the keeper replied that the bella viour
ofthe tiger indicated either that he was vastly
pleased or annoyed; upon this the sa ilor again
approached the den, and, after gazing at the IT,
ger for few minutes during which the animal
became frantic with seeming rage, lashing his
tail against his sides and giving utterance
10 the mos, frigh,iul belowngs, discovered the
tiger 10 be the same animal brought from Eng
i'Gd under the special care ofthe weather-bea-
ten tar. 1t now became Jacks turn to be dc.
lightly, as it appeared the tiger was in recog-
nizing his old friend, and, after making repea-
ted applications 10 be permitted to enter the den
foI the purpose, as he said, of shaking fist"
with the beautiful animal, he was suffered SO Ia
do; the iron door was opened and in jumped
Jack to the delight of hmselfand striped friend,
and to the astonishment Of the lookers.on The
affection of the animal was now shown by ca
ressing and licking the pleased sailor, whom he
seemed to welcome with the heartiest satsfac-
tion ; and when the honest tar left the den the
anguish of the animal appeared almost insup-

A Repentsnt COON.

II is quite amusing to read how frank, bold, and
honest are the speeches Of those who were de-
ludcd In 1910, but have since returned 10 the
promises Of their early days. Take the fol-
lowing remarks Of Mr. Williams of Ccnnccti.
cut for instance
81 have come forward to tell you my friends
that am no longer coon. Loud laughter
and cheers.l I was born true Democrat, but
by some cause became transplantcd into Wing
soil. But they watered me with hard cider,
loud langhterl which did not agree with my
constitution. lChcers.l One of my Coon
friends, supposing that was Coon still, came
to me the ether day and notified me very pri.
vately that meeting Of choice spirits was to
be held at a certain well known whis lawyers
Office. lsuppose you will be on hand, won't
you ! told him rather thought should be
a Coon no longer! intended to vote the
Democratic ticket! [Great applause.l The
fellows lower jaw fell as much as four inch

friends, feel once more at home, am with
you end hope to continue so, the remainder Of
my life. Tremendous applause.]
