The Manufacture Of The T Rail.

While attending the Rail Road Convention at
Danvile, few weeks since, We slept into the
Montcur Rolling Mill to witness the process of
making the edge or rail. This mill is one OF
the most stupendous works Of the kind in this
country. 1t contains, We believe, twenty-five
pudding furnaces They have not yet, however,
all been put in operation. In order TO make the
I rail- the iron is first rolled through one sett of
rollers into heavy fiat bars. about three inches in
width and three fouiths ofan inch in thickness
Thrs" bars are then cut into pieces, something
less than three feet in length. A number of
the pieces. probably 3 90, are then placed to.
sether. making square bundle or iaggot weigh
ing nearly four hundred pounds, This iaggot is
then placed into one Of the furnaces and brought
10 white heat when it is drawn ont on a small
iron hand cart and conveyed TO the rollers The
great weight and intense heat OF such heavy
mass. requires considerable skill well as
strength, in passing il through the rollers The
bar as it passes through, is caught and supported
by iron levers fastened TO chains that are sus-
pended on pullies from above. The bar first
passes through the square grooves of the rollers
three four times, before it is run through the
different grooves that gradually bring it to the
form Of the edge or + rail, as seen upon our rail
roads. Through the asst grooves il passes five
or six times before il is completed. II is then
placed ona small rail way carriage, on track
IS feet wide, and hauled up about twenty feet,
when the rail comes in contact with two circu.
lar saws. one of which is placed on each side oi
! the rail way. Those saws revolve with great ra
! pid,ty aud the moment the rail. still red hot
! reaches them, the red, sparkling iron saw dust
! is scattered in every direction. The rails are
thus cut off square at each end exactly Is fee
lorg, apparently as easily as il they were mad,
of tough hickory wood. The rail is then dra gge.
TO the pile and left TO cool, perfectly finished
! The rails we saw made were intended for III,
! Harrisburg and Lancaster road, and weighed III
ty.one pounds to the yard, or something NOR
than three hundred pounds each. These are sat
10 be the first rails ever made with anthracite
iron in this or any other country, and are, W
believe, superior to any that have ever been i'm
ported The above is an imperfect de.criptio
but may serve TO give our readers a general ide
Of the mode and manner Of manufacturing thi
very important article.

The MoRMos PATRIARCH, William Smith, is
lecturing to crowded houses in St. Louis. He
handles Brigham Young and the eleven without
gloves. They must be wicked set according
to his account. He solemny declares that mur-
ders are planned and executed there, that young
woman are ensnared and ruined by the elders and
others, and that the Church is robbed temporarily
and spiritually by these selfelected successors
of the Prophet. Discredit is thrown upon his
statements, however, by his exaggerations,

OaIGIS OF EyLnr DIsE,sE, AMI THE MANS
~ CunE-ln the year 1875, Le Roy clearly de-
mons rated that every disease originated from i'm.
pune or undses,ed particles. hec rmns mixed with
the blood and fluids. And also, that to cure every
disease II was only necessary To open the natural
outlets of the body, and allow them to remain o.
pen. by which means the blood and other fluids
would release themselves from these undgesled and
impure particles, and state of health would be
cert in u ensue. The Royal Institute Of France
awarded to him for this discovery, the Gold Medal
of the Institute. This is historical fact.
All which the Brsndreth Vegetable Universal
Pills profess to do is to carry out this principle,
and experience has fully established them capable
of it, When, therefore, a bad state Of health ex.
lists in the body, all that has TO be done is to con-
tinue to rUaoE it efiectually with them, and the
more viruent the disease, the more powerful mus,
be the dose.

MY name is fiaites.

There are thousands Of people in this country
who make use OF the common expression, tiny

ton of the phrase be it our next care to give
its origia.
Some ioriy-five years since, a gentleman by
the name of Hanes was travelling on horseback
in the vicinity of MIR. Jefferson's residence in
Virginia. Party spirit was running extremely
high in those days. Mr.. Jefferson was president,
and Mr. Hanes wasa rank fcderalist; and a. o
matter Of course, a bitter opponent to the then
existing administration and its head. He was
not acqua alnted with Mr.. Jeilersen, and accident.
yelling On horseback, his party zeal soon led him
INTO conversation upon the ail-absorbing topic.
In the course of the conversation, Hanes took
particular pains to abuse Mr. Jefferson, calling
him II sorts of hard names, run down every
measure of his administration, poked the non.
intercourse act at him as most outrageous, md
rainous, ridiculing his gun boat system as pre-.
posterous and nonsenscal-opposed his pur-

took every Leading feature Of the day, descantec
on them and their originator with the creates
bitterness. Mr.. Jefferson all the while sait
liitle. There WAS no such thing as getting
away from his very particular friend, and h.
did no, exactly feel at liberty to combat his or
guments.
They fnally arrived in front Of Mr. Jefferson
residence, Hanrs Of course not acquainted will
the fact. Notwithstanding he had been vilfe
and abused alike pick pocket" to Use the oil

his horse, when it occurred to him that he shoul
nsk his companions name.
"Jeherson," said the president blandly.
What! Thomas jefferson ~
"Yes sir, Thomas Jefferson"
