About the year 1770, large manufactory
of this peculiar steel was established at At
terclifie. The process was wrapped IN secre-
cy by every means which the inventor could
command. None but workmen of credit and
character were engaged, and they were forbid
den to disclose the secrets of the manufacture
by stringent form of oath. At last Hunts
mans secret was stolen in the following man.
ner: One night in midwinter, as the tall
chimney of the Attercliffe steel-works belched
forth its smoke, giving promise of roaring
fire within, a traveller, to whom the desire of
placing himself near roaring fire might seem
a reasonable longing, Knocked at the outer
door of Mr.. Huntsman's factory. 1t a
bitter night; the snow fell fast, the wind howl
ed across the moor; nothing, then, could be
more natural than that the tired wayfarer
should seek a warm corner where he might
lay his head. He knocked, and the door was
opened. A workman presented himself, whom
the wayfarsr addressing, humbly begged ad-
mission.
ssNo admission here, except on business.''
The reader may we'll fancy how this inti-
nation fell upon the tired travellers on
such an inclement night. But the workman,
scanning the traveller over, and discovering
nothing suspicious about him, granted the
request, and let him in.
Feigning to be completely worn out with
cold and fatigue, the wayfarer sank upon the
floor of the comfortable factory, and soon ap-
peared to have gone asleep. To go to sleep,
however, was very far from his intention: the
traveller closed his eyes all but two little
chinks. Through these two little chinks he
all he cared to He saw workmen cut
bars of steel into little bits, then place them
in crucibles, and the crucibleS in a furnace.
He saw the fire urged to its extreme power !;
and, lastly, he saw workmen clothe themselves
in wet rags, the better TO protect themselves
against the terrible heat, and drawing out the
glowing crucibles with enormous tongs, pour
the liquid contents into a mould. Mr.. Hunts
mans factory had nothing more to disclose /:
this was the secret of cast steel.
1t would be easy to extend the list of man
ufacturing secrets disclosed in the dishonest
way indicated above the subject, however,
is so unpleasant TO dwell upon, that am sure
the reader will rejoice, with me, that the cir
cumstances under which manufactures are now
mostly carried on, neither afford the opportu-
nifty nor the inducement to theft, such as
have described. Firstly, the Legislature no
longer permits an indiscriminate administra-
tion of oaths, whence men cannot be bound
down TO secrecy as heretofore secondly, the
principles on which branches of manufactur-
ing industry depend are for the most part SO
clearly indicated, that the discovery of a Sc
cret resolves itself into the perfectly legiti-
mate endeavor of fathoming it by the direct
application of science.

Dear friend, permit my muse to bring
Her lowly off ring TO thy feet;
Thy worth in humble strains to sing
Thy muse in admiration greet.
Within thy soul forever dwells
The spirit of true Poesy;
Thy heart, responsive, ever swells
With songs of sweetest melody,
Oh. could my muse, like thine, portray
Each thought, and feeling of the soul,
'Twould rise above this humble lay
High as the lightning's voices roll.
Thy muse in lofty strain, can soar
Up to the realms of joy above,
And to the great Creator pour
Its song of gratitude and love.
Sometimes, the voice of friendship lends
Its gentle softness to thy Tyre
Anon, the wrong OF injured friends
Arouses thy indignant fire.
Now. fond affection strikes the strings,
And breathes a soft and dulcet strain
Then. bitter disappointment wings
Each burning line with grief and pain
Thou canst. rs with the painters art.
Depict each scene of care and strife
Each passion of the human heart
Each joy and woe of human life.

VOL. 5.--NO. L..

THE AMIsrAp CAsE.-Some'twenty years ago
two Spaniards attempted to convey their slaves
by water from one part of the island of Cuba
TO another. They chartered vessel for this
purpose, but as soon as they were out of sight
of land the negroes mutinied and took pos
session of the vessel. The negroes knew
nothing of navigation, and the vessel finally
found its way into Long Island Sound. and
was formally taken possession of by the Rev
enue Cutter and brought into New Haven,
where the cases were tried, and the Court de-
clded that they were entitled TO their freedom,
and they were subsequently set at liberty
Afterwards the Spanish Government claimed
from our Government remuneration Tor tho
loss which its citizens had sustained by tho
decision of the Connecticut Court, and the
liberation of the Africans. Our Government
recognizes this claim, and has several times
urged the attention of Congress to the subject.
If taken up at this session, as recommended
by the President, it will occasion much de-
bate, and prevent the con sideration of other
and more important business.

Animal Heat-Carbon and Oxygen.

In an able lecture, delivered by the Rev. DIR.
Storrs, of Brooklyn, in the Cooper Institute,
in November, on ssThe Influence of Climate
on Civilization, - he seemed to attribute much
of the vigor of the northern races to the food
required by their climate. The idea convey
cd seemed TO be an endorsement of the popu-
lar theory of animal heat, which is inculcated
in all the common books on physiology. These
compare the lungs TO furnace, in which air
and carbon are brought into chemical union in
producing heat. This theory is simple, aud
somewhat beautiful, but not correct. The COM
bustion Of our food-fuel does not take place in
the lungs, in the same manner that the fire is
produced in the furnace; the food of man is
not fed into his lungs, neither does the oxygen
of the air combine with the food or carbon in
the lungs, but passes into the blood through
their membrane tissue; carbonic acid and
moisture being given out in exchange. All
our food undergoes chemical change, before
it reaches the lungs in the form of blood, and
the warmth of the body comes from the organ
ic processes which make and unmake the ami
NAL tissues. These facts which should ba IA
miliar to all, lay the axe at the root of the
common furnace theory of animal heat.
Man requires the same elements for his food
in all climates. The northern races eat much
fat. which is almost pure hydro carbon; the in
habitants of tropical climates eat gums and SUI
gars, which are Just as rich in carbon. Some
castles of Hindoos in India live exclusively on
vegetables; the Caffres of hot South Africa are
the greatest beef gormandZerS in the world.
The temperature of man is 90 deg. in all sea-
sons, in the hottest and coldest climates. A
change of this uniform temperature of the hu-
man body is the sign of disease. Man pre-
serves his standard temperature in the tropical
and arctic regions in virture of the peculiar
organism which adjusts itself to varying cir
cumstances, but the means by which it does
this is still involved in much obscurity.

SINGULAR ACCIDEST.-The Watertown IN.
y Journal says that the engineer OF the train
from Potsdam, few days since, while cross
ing Holton Bridge, near Antwerp, observed
the singular spectacle of a man hanging from
one of the beams thereof. The train wac
stopped and the matter looked into. Tho
man had evidently been dead but a little
while. 1t was inferred that the man, while
crossing the bridge, with the strap of his car
pet bag around his neck. stumbled and fell.
He pitched on one side of the beam and the
bag on the other. The bag balanced the man,
and the strap being strong and fast, around his
neck, there was no help for him, and in this
singular position ne was found. There Was
no clue about him that indicated his name or
home. He appeared to be poor wayfarer,
and was probably under the influence of liquor
when he met his mishap.

HEAT PROM THE SUS.-An eminent profess
sor has announced fact not to be disputed,
that were the distance between our planet and
the sun diminished, the access of solar heat
would convert her waters into air, while the
rich stores OF metal garnered in her bosom
would become brazen rivers, ,discharging them
selves when the race was run into the vacant
depths of the ocean. If the distance were in
creased, the difference, from the directly op-
posite effects, would be no less decided. Tho
dim mutton of solar heat would cause the air
to iiquify, turn the sea into a crystal, and
bind the great continents of the earth in per-
petual frost. AS it is. however, the distribu-
tion of heat is regulated with unerring pre-
cision. Indeed, the mind can conceive no
scheme of measurement so acute, no balan-
cling of cause and effect so mathematIcally
exact, as to the adjustment by relative POSITION
OF the quantity of heat which the earth re-
ceives from the sea- 1t is governed by an G.
ternal law.

GOLD AND SILvER.-The consumption of gold
and silver at the present day for household
purposes Is enormous, its application having
in California and Australia. The amount of
gold and silver annually taken from the mines
of Europe is valued at twenty five millions of
dollars In America, the yield is computed
to be one hundred and forty-six millions and
Asia produces twenty-five millions. Africa
has no silver mines, but produces gold TO the
amount of nearly three millions of dollars.
Australia is also without silver, but produces
about two hundred millions of gold.

SIBERIA.-Siberia has been civilized by the
exiles sent thither, and by voluntary emigra-
tion from Russia, till nearly four of the five
millions of inhabitants of that region are Eu-
ropeans or of European descent--more fortu-
nate than their western kinsmen in this, that
there is not serf among them. Siberia is
fast becoming place of great commercial i'm
portance. Its proximity to Oregon and Cali
fornia will give it trade which will make it
one of the most active portions of the great
Russian empire. The ice used in San Fran
cisco was formerly obtained from the United
States. 1t now comes from Siberia, affording
constant employment TO half dozen ships.
In five years from now the trade between ST.
IBERIA and California will be matter of i'm
poTtance.

CANCENI AGAIN CosYIcTED.-Cancemi,t the
italian burglar, who murdered policeman,
has again been convicted of the offence in the
Criminal Court of New York city, but this
time only for manslaughter in the first degree
He has been tried four tines for the same
crime, been twice convicted of murder, and
three times has had new a trial granted on the
ground of informality. The facts of the case
are that the prisoner broke into a shop, rified
the money drawer of its contents, was upon
his exit, discovered by policeman, and, tax
ing instantly to.fight, was pursued. He turn
ed, and deliberately shot his pursuer, who sub
sequently died from the effects of the wound.

THEY SAY.-A more sneaking, cowardly and
fiendish liar than s'They say,' never existed.
That parsonage is universal scape goat for
personal gossip, envy and malice; without
form of flesh and blood, when invoked, and
yet stalking boldly in every community. The
character is a myth, and yet real; intangible
and yet clutching its victims with remorseless
power. 1t is unseen, and yet from an exhaust
less culver wings its poisoned arrows from day
to day And no mail is proofs no character,
position, or sex escapes; no sanctuary is too
sacred; no name is bulwarked against its as
sauits. When one base heart wishes to assail
another persons character motives, 'sIhey
say" is always invoked. That is the assassin
who strikes in the cloud-the Thug who haunts
the footsteps of the offender, and tortures from
careless word or deed, an excuse Tor the stl-
letto. Men dare not always reveal Their own
feelings. With smiles and pretended friend
shin. they present the envenomed shaft as
coming from .sThey say" Be sure, reader,
that when some villainous tale is told you, and
the narrator cannot give an author more tan
gible than s'They say'' for it. that the SANDER
is the creation of the heart by your side, and
reeking with the poison Of envy and hatred,
and earnest with a wish to have the falsehood
of s'they say" bud into reality, and become
current coin in the community.
