the country 10 which he was sent, more satisfc-

His kindness and hospitality to Americans who
have visited Paris during his residence there, have

Battles acith tie Mezicans-I Ie1Gn Victories
The following brief outline of the principal
battles between the Texan and Mexican forces
during the war of Independence, will not be unin-
teresting at this time In 1885, at the battles of
Conception and the "grass fight" large Odds pro-
bably three to one, were driven from the field by
the Texans and at San Antonia, same year,
three hundred raw Texan militia captured Gene
raj Coss and eLeccn hundred Mexican soldiers.
In 1886, at Alamo, $50 held out 13 days
against Santa Anna and 5000 men, fighting at
last until every Texan fell dead, killed 9l0 of
the enemy ; 400 at Colletta beat off 1000 under
General Urea, hut next day we're trcackerousiy de-
ceived into surrender; 700, of their own sponta.
neous will, killed or captured 1900 Mexicans, at
San Jacinto, taking prisoner the President of
Mexico, General Santa Anna; and twenty under
Deaf Smith routed 100 Mexicans the same year.
In 1889, one hundred and four beat 1000 Mex
leans at SaltiIlo and retreated into Texas with
the loss of only four men,, In 1912, only 210aof

ribIy butchered or enslaved.

neTs at Salado attacked four hundred armed Mex
can guards beat and dispersed them. Sumo year,
Commodore Moore, Of Yucatan, sienced ten times
the naval force and compelled them to retire The
last victory resulted in treaty. alliance, be.
tween Yucatan and Texas, by which the former
bound herself to remain passive in any contes

TIE PIopsrties of Cast Steel. The Scientific
American states that a Baltimore mechanic COM
municates an incident, a knowledge of which may
be of service to smiths in general 1t is a
common impression that when a piece of cast.
steel becomes BURNT by neglect when in the
fire. it is rendered coarse. brittle and useless But
in the instance referred to, piece of cast-steel
came badly burnt, and Was supposed @ I be spoiled
But the workman, without any apparent motive,
tapped the steel lightly while at white heat and
when it had cooled down litlc, he quenchcd il
in water. He. then heated il to only bright red
and hammered it till the red had nearly disappear.
ed, and again quenched it. After repeating this
two or three times, he examined the grain and the
temper, and found il completely restored, and
capable of being wrought into the finest blades.
