Homemade Railroad IRON.

The progress of manufacturing all articles
requiring iron is more rapid than that of al
most any other business. We have an in
stance Of this in the quantity of manufactur-
ing iron which is now being turned out in
establishments, where but two years ago
there was not forge or furnace within miles.
Machine establishments, rolling mills, smelt-
ing furnaces, are all called, and the moment
they are ready to do business, there is sufi-
cient employment to drive them far beyond
Wyandotte Iron Works are an example, of
which Detroit should be somewhat proud
On the docks of the Central Railroad at the
present moment, there are piles of railroad
bars, which compare favorably in every
quality that renders railroal iron valua-
BILE. with the best English that is brought
into this country. The quality of this iron
is most excellent. Of its capacity to with
stand the wear and tear of travel, we have
not as yet had sufficient test, for there has
not been time But when bar is sawn in
two and is then polished so that it has a sur
face equal to that of good quality of wrought
iron, we may admit that it will stand any
reasonable test. The Wyandotte Mills are
now turning out these bars at the rate of 200
tons per week, and they are used by the
Michigan Central road in all its repairs and
reconstruction of track, and also in the new
additions being made to the road. The old
worn out rails are turned over to the Rolling
Mill, and new ones are sent back in their
place. The saving that this effects is very
large, and besides the road is thus directly
building up great industrial interest, the
Importance of which cannot now be calcu-
lated. We sincerely hope that the dabbling
and patching of the tariff by Congress, will
not effect this mighty interest injudiciously,
now that so great an element of wealth to
this State has been so auspiciously COM
menced.--Detroit Tribune.

Philosophy of Death.

Whatever be the causes Sof dissolution
whether sudden violence or lingering mala-
dy, the immediate modes by which death is
brought about appear to be but two. In the
one, the nervous system is primarily attack
ed, and there is a sinking sometimes an in
Simultaneous extinction of the powers of life ;
in the other, dissolution is effected by the
circulation of black venOus blood instead of
the red arterial blood. The former is termed
death by syncope, or fainting the latter
death by asphyxia. In the last mentioned
manner of death, when it is the result of
disease, the struggle is long protracted
and accompanied by all the visible marks of
agony, which the imagination associates
whith the closing scene of life-the parched
and pIlid features, the cold clammy skin, the
upturned eye, and the heaving, laborious
rattling respiration. Death does not strike
all the organs of the body at the same time
some may be said to survive others and the
lungs are the last to give up the performance
and die. AS death approaches, they become
more and more oppressed the air cells are
loaded with an increased quantity of the fluid
which naturally lubricates their surfaces
the atmosphere can now no longer come in
contact with the minute blood vessels spread
over the air cells, without permeating this
venous fuid-hence the rattle; nor is the
contact sufficiently perfect to change the
black venous into red arterial blood an un-
prepared fluid consequently issues from the
lungs into the heart, and is thence transmit
ted to every other organ of the body. The
brain receives it, and its energies appear to
be lullified thereby into sleep.-generally
tranquil Sleep-flled with dreams which i'm.
pei the dying lip to murmur out the names
of friends, aud the occupations and recollec-
tions of past life. Some pass away absorbed

A "M1LKY WAY."-The N. Y. Observer
has been permitted to copy the following
paragraph, from the diary of lady who re-
Gently made voyage to Calcutta. If the
facts are tcorrectly stated, they are curious
indeed:
"When iR the Gulf of Alden, we saw very
remarkable7Hght. 1t was rough and blow
ing evening that we were called on deck to
see the Milky Water which is only seen just
in this region. 1t is still undecided whether
the effect isproduced by electrieitxr by at
mospneric causes, or by an1malcuIa Instead
of water, it seemed as if the vessel were
plunging through great drifts of snow. The
appearance extended even to the horizon,
and if the air had been colder, and 1 could
have caught the sound of sleigh bells, l
should haV$HOst all ideas of the sea, and i'm
agned myself enjoying magnificent sleigh
ride. 1t was splendid sight, and it is very
remarkable, that no chemical analysis can de-
tect any peculiarity in the composition of the
water; and as soon as daylight or moon
light comes, it vanishes. The milky way
lasted for three nights, and then suddenly
stopped, and every evening afterward the
water was as usual"

LIBERALISM IN CUBA.-Varona, Cuban
liberalist, returned to Cuba about the first
of December, from New York, at which place
he had been residing for eight or nine years.
His long residence in the States, however,
proved bar to his residence in Cuba, and
he received from the Lieutenant Governor of
that.island an ti tt4tiGllstion that it would be
better for his healthif he were to return to
the United States. The Lieutenant Cover
nor doubtless considered that Varona was
too good arepublican to mingle with the
people of Cuba ; so he sent for him, and they
politely gave him his passport, with the
words-"God be with you'-which meant
1.-The devil take you''

A SINGULAR INCIDENT is mentioned as late
ly having occurred about twenty-five miles
from Rome, at 9g,eountry place called sabina,
near tho Fiano district Some laborers were
at work in basin shaped hollow when they
suddenly felt a'Ss&sking of the earth like an
earthquake, which caAssd them to run off to
distance. They then saw the earth open in
the place they hqd qed left, and a black smoke
rise up the surrounding ground seemed to
fall in, and the place filled with water, form
ing lake of about 1000 metres, which has
been increasing daily in size ever since. The
water is salt. and the general idea seems to
be that the Hollow thus filled is the site of an
extinct volcano.

The BtUE RIDGE OF VIRGINIA TUNNELED-
A NICE CALCULATIoN.-The Blue Ridge Tun-
mel was finally carried through the mountain
last week. On Monday morning the augurs
appeared from either side, not more than
half an inch apart, and the perforation was
complete. The Staunton Spectator says:
$50 accurately has been all the calcula-
tions made by Col. Crozet, that the augur
holes from bath ends of the tunnel were only
half an iuch distant from each other, when
they met. and the difference in the length of
the Tunnel, as computed by measurement, on
the outside; over, the top of the mountain,
and as accurately measured inside, after the
perforation, was less than six inches. The
draft at the. pefforation is strong enough to
extinguish alfght on the eastern side."

The GOOD Time Present.
BY ELDER W. G. MILLS.

,NnN
I hate the whine Of discomfort
That MARKS IS the age we live in,
That speaks Of olden times well spent,
To our foTefather's given;
Some sing thsir worth and competence,
And some their mirth are humming,
While some despise their taste and sense,
And sing, ''The good times coming.n
What though the future may be great,
Or mast wore god end pleasant,
He hevs Nc akate in either state,
Our auty,g in the presentl
gsey. .baa sqEir wants and trials too;
Their ilvbf gea- not still shiDinge.s y

To keep Us from repining
The landscapes lovely TO the eye
When va frbm distance view it:
2et acre arsAfaults we may ceserT,
Whene'erwe ramble through it.
But while the scenes before, behind,
With beauty are abounding,
We may be,able here to find
Some charms our steps surrounding.
The times we have, which some regret,
To our seed will be olden
And theyJ with unborn poets yet,
May call this period goldem!
And they may chant their graceful lays,
Their future bliss up-summing,
Just as Ya~sing of by-gone days,
And LONG for better coming.
Then LET such murmuring feelings die,
That Tong for other ages;
The blessings that we now enjoy
Will shine on history's pages.
The best philosophy for man,
Life's present cares enduring.
Is nOaO to do the best he can,
Thus future bliss securing.
