Good Manners.

Many people who are very strict in their
morality are as careless of their manners as if
the courtesies of life were no more worthy of
their attention than its frivolities. But they
are sadly mistaken. The influence of manners
good or bad-is immense, especially on the
immediate happiness of society. Indeed, po1
lteness, suavity, cheerfullness, courtesy, gem
teness, and all those nameless qualities which
go to make up what We mean by "good man
n ners," are to the weightor matters Of life and
character--wh oil is to machinery, making
all go smooth and safe, when otherwise every
thing would go rough and wrong. The con
nectien between manners and morals is closet
than one is apt to imagine, and many fla
grant breach Of the latter has been occasionet
by inattenton to the former. The formal cout
tesies of the bar and bench, unmeaning as they
seem, are Of the greatest Importance in MAIN
tanning the good order. and dignity of the
courts. Considering that the very business of
the forum is disputation, it is remarkable that
any depth Of hostility is seldom awakened be-
tween the combatants; and this is owing main
ly to conventional forms of pOliteness. "My
learned brother" is amuch safer opening to a
suit, even when the speaker is angry, than an
exOrdium commencing with "The ignorant ras-
cal who appears for the plaintiff in this suit
Gentle words favor gentle thoughts and &C.
tions, and vice versa.

Process Of Making Railroad Iron.

The Pittsburgh Gazette has been visiting
the railroLd iron mill Of Bennett. Marshall &
Co., at Sligo, near the city, and we end & de.
scriPdOu Of the process Of manufacturing rail.
road iron, in late number Of that paper, the
material parts Of which we give. It's stated
that the metal from which the rails are to be
made is first assorted in piles Of FIVE hundred
pounds, and mixed so as 70 produce the prop.
er quality Of iron. There are twelve furnaces
(eight more are being cOnstructed) and each
turns out ten heats day: each pile of the me-
tai forms heat. This metal when in the
furnace is separated into FIVE balls. each Of
which are singingly passed through what is
called "BurdOn's Rotary Squeezers. They
are then passed through the muck rolls, where
they assume the dimension Of three inches
thick BY fifteen or twenty feet long. They are
then cut to the length Of four feet ten inches
and re-beated in what is termed the stop end
bottom furnace" After this process, they are
again rolled into six inch bars and taken to the
rail mill. The centre Of the rail is composed
Of a number of three inch bars ola poorer
quality of metal. They are made three inch
es wide, as it appears fuller edge can be Sc
cured in that manner by making them double
that width. These pieces, being laid at their
proper positions, at Aft ten inches long) are
again placed in furnaces, and heated after
which they are passed through the roughing
rolls, and then through the fOaming or finish
ng rolls, where they receive the form of T
rail. When being drawn through the rolls the
last time, they are run out on a long buggy to
two circular saws, (which make 100 revou.
tiOns per minute, J where the ends, generally
ragged, are taken of, leaving the full twenty
feet rail,
The buggy conveys the rail to the straight
ening plates, where it is leyelled alternately
It's then turned over and bent at an inclina-
ton Of FIVE inches, to make up for the contrac-
tion Of the iron. The rails, when nearly cool
ed, are completely Strengthened and turned
over TO the hands of the 6ers, in the doctor
shop" where the edges are smoothed down,
and defects noted and repaired,
Thirty tons of rails are turned out per day
at this establishment. A rail 40 feet long, in
tended for exhibition at the Fair, was made
last week. This exceeds anything in that
line in the United States, an Eastern Company
turned out one thirty-6ve feet long, some time
ago, which has previously been considered the
longest ever made.
The Company has secured contract to sup
ply the Cleveland and Pittsburgh Railroad
with rails, and are now engaged in filing the
'rder The success of the Company in what
S an entire new business in that county, is de-
'ided, and they will undoubtedly reap the rich
reward due to their enterprise and energy.

We witnessed very affecting sight yester'
day. A girl was about crossing Merwen street
bridge with little wagon containing what a
casual observer would suppose to bea child
neat little counterpane folded delicately down
from the ''neck," of the innocent and its face
concealed by blue veil. Itwas theme that
might have called forth most eloquent out
burst from the warm heart of Fanny Fern. p
Presently, however. in ascending the bridge
the vechile unfortunately upset, and out rolled
the precions contents, in shape of-not "ba-
by" gentle reader. but well filed whisksy
jag' which was dashed to pieces against a
stone. The grief of the cold folks at hOme''
for the loss Of the ''dear crathur'' whose 'spir-
its" thus uncermoniously took its fight, was no
doubt inconsolable. 90. Herald.
