There is a lady of our acquaintance yet

or desire for society, her house is her hobby,

room she has abandoned her mansion to si-

herself the use only of the basement, from
the half open door of which she can keep
all eye upon The servants, and issue sudden

Steel is iron passed through process
which is called cementation, the object OF
which is 10 impregna,e it with carbon. Car
bon exists more abundanily in charcoal than
in any other fnsible substance, and the smoke
that goes from a charcoal forge is carbon in
fluid state. Now, If you can manage 10
confine that smoke, and pnt piece Of iron
into il for several days and heat the iron at
the same time, it will become steel. Heat
ing The iron opens its pores, so that the
smoke, or carbon, can enter into it.
the furnace for this purpose is a.cynic al
building of brick, in the middle o: which
are.two troughs of brick or stone, which
hold about four ions Of bar iron. At the
bottom is a large grale foi the fire. A layer
OF charcoal-dus, is put upon The bottom OF
the troughs, then layer of bar iroe and

They are then covered over with clay, TO
keep out the air, which, il admitted, would
prevent tho cementalion. Fire is then COM
imunica,ed TO the wool d-aad coal with which
the furnace is filed, and continued until the
conversion of the iron into steel is completed

ten days. This is known by blisters on the

Choate, the Lawyer.

Jack flumphries, the piquant Boston cor
respondent of the Albany Du,chman, gives
the following of-hand description Of Rufus
Choate -
"Rufus Choate-famous for throwing SON.
ersets. flip flaps, making mouths and ugly
mugs" at judges and juries--is jawing away
at that same old Rev. Fairfield case. You
probably never saw Rufus, but you've heard
of HIM Well, he's great on saving hard
cases from getting their dues. lie saved
Tirel, the murderer of Ellen Bickford, from
hemp stretching and that fact has had
made him in great demand, where things
are doubtful, ever since. He has saved ma
ny scounjrei from we'll me,iied punish
msnt, and, perhaps, has obtained, for some,
justice. Rufus Choa:e is picture to look
at, and chowder to spout. He is about sew
en- feet SIX, or six feet seven, in his socks
supple as an eel, and wiry as a cork screw
His face is a compound of wrinkles, "yaller
janders," and Jurisprudence. He has small,
keen, piercing black eyes, and head shap-
ed like mammoth goose-egg, big end up /;
his hair black aud curly, much resembling
bag OF wool in admirable disorder, or a
brush heap in gale of wind. His body
has no particular shape; and his wit and le-
gal "dodges" have set many a judge in a
snicker, and so coriounded jurors, as 10
make il almos, impossible for them to SPEAK
English, or tell the truth, for the rest Of their
natural lives Rufus is great on twisting and
coilns himself up, squirming aroaDi. and
prancins, jumping and kicking up the dust,
when steam's up. His 1ratory is frs, rate,

is great on nowery expressions. and high

he's crazy, and the rest scarcely understand
what it's all about. He invoices his time
and elocuion, 1000 per cent over ordinary
charges, for having one's self put through a
course Of law. Rufus Choate is about fifty
years OF age; perhaps over. Ho is consid
cred the ablest lawyer in New England, or
perhaps-the United States. His hand wri-
ting can't be deciphered without the aid OF
a pair of compasses and a quadrant. His
autograph somewhat resembles the map OF
Ohio, and looks like piece Of crayon sketch

Then the poet could not write.
Then let every toll be hallowed

See, light darts down from heaven,
And enters where it may;
The eyes of all earth's people
Are cheered with one bright day.
And let the minds true sunshine
Be spread DER earth as Tree,
And fill the souls of men
Az the waters fill the sea.
