We charged l6 pairs Of tubes l32) with II 500
pounds of crushed iron from tho Iron Noun

from the Wenona Mines. watching these for forty
eight continuous hours. when the ore being 'ear-
bonised, was let down lin pairs Of tubes toa hcat
and worked similarly to boiling. Weighing care

Mr.. EDl1oR: | wish to add some explanations
To the above which do not properly belong to ii re.
port.
1t is not certainly known through what chcn-
cal process iron undergocs from its crude state to
that of malleable iron, but the generally received
theory il, that the ore is charged with carbon
with charcoal coke coal. in tho blast furnace o
and the impurities ilont on the surface and are
discharged in what is called oinder the result of
the process being pig metal, this metal being ex-
posed to the flame Of another furnace till IL nb-
serbs oxygen, becomes mallenbe. In the first
process it is chrysta.zed in the latter ibrous; the
whole operation requiring two separate and dis
tinct furnaces
The st. Louis ore furnace is but onc but with
two parts the lower furnace being like any ordi
nary boiling furnace. some three feet longer, aud
being supplied with draft Of air from fan, i'm
medaely this lower furnace and about sew
en- feet above, is the upper furnace. This is con-
nectcd to the lower furnace where the heat leaves
it, by hue and discharges through stack di
rectly over the CRATE bars. This upper furnace is
square aud contains forty-eight tubes sixteen by
six inches. in pairs, opened by slides at the bot
tom, These tubes, eight feet deep, arc construct
ell ol fire-brck, tonguel and groovcd, to keep out
the flame Of the lower fire. and the Wlste hcaf
from the lower furnace passes between eight rows
of six each on It's way to the stack.
These bricks become heated aud transmit their
ore and coal being pulverised the heat sets free
the carbon which enters the and discdybonizes
H. While the Impurities pass off rs gases, the
top Of the TUBES being open, being in such small
PARTICLES and in such cinse toniact cM Mc ore, al
So in small particles and given the time (4s hour.)
the work must needs DO Mmoughiy done whhont
mastc of mo,e,iai.
On being dropped into the lower furnace it is
therefore Pig Iron in small particles. Watching
it closely it fell could that the carbon was
entirely consumed and became coke. which he ps
to heat the metal till it is consumed. The motal
is then showed up nearer the bridge or greatest
heat Of the fire, when it is operated the as
any either iron; and when every particle has alb
sorbcd oxygen it il then mnlleable and is rolled
into balls far the squcezcr
The whole improvement consists in not only
making Pig metut uM The Waste heat ofMe tu'-
mace, but avoiding thut anomaly in the Inanufac-
ture Of Pig Iron of carbonizing with charcoal and
orydisng with an air blast, Mt the same time eau
sing waste of material aud large amounts of fuel
to overcome it. In hot blast furnaces part of this
waste is overcome. as part of the oxygen is COLI
sumed before entering the blast furnace.
The time given it (48 hours) seems to have the
effect to evaporate all the sulphur, which has
been the bug-bear Of all attemps heretofore to
make good iron with sulphurus GOAL, for which
iron has great affinity Oithout ,caste Of nsateri
al, the product Of 81 per cent. is nearly much
as Pig metal can be produced out Of the same ore

25.--ln our course down the river singular cir
cumstance occurred. A dog commenced swim

tnnce Sometimes he would swim five or ten
miles at stretch, when he would diversity his

he followed about fifty miles, crossing swamps
thickets. streams nnd bluffs; and when swimming,
he would frequently ovcrtake us on fair race,
and at all times would cause US TO ply our oars

n bluff came in his way he would piteously howl,

SIX LITTLE FEET ON THE FENDER

SIX LITTLE FEET ON THE FENDER.
In my heart there liveth picture
Of kitchen rude and old,
Where &c freight tripped DER the rafters,
And Redeemed the roofs brown mould;
Gliding the steam from the kettle
That hummed ON the foOt-worn hearth,
Throughout all the livelong evening,
Its measures of drowsy mirth,
Because of the three light shadows
That frescoed that rude old room
Because of the voices echoed
Up mid the rafter's gloom
Because of the feet on the fender,
Six restless, white little feet
The thoughts of that dear old kitchen
Are to me fresh and sweet.
When then the first dash on the window
Told of the coming rain,
Oh! where are the fairy young faces
That crowded against the pane?
What bits of freight stealing
Their dimpled cheeks between,
Went struggling out in the darkness
In shreds of silver sheen
Two of the feet grew weary,
One dreary dismal day.
And we tied them with snow-white ribbons,
Leaving them there by the way.
There was fresh clay on the fender
That weary, wintry night,
For the four little feet had tracked it
From his grave on the bright bills height
OH why, on this darksome evening,
This evening of rain and sleet,
Rest my feet all alone on the hearthstone?
Oh! where are those other feet?
Are they treading the pathway of virtue
That will bring us together above?
Or have they made steps that will dampen
A sisters tireless love!

MOCK TP1ALs IN ENGLAND.-Dr' D. =
Not. now in England, in recent let'sE 10 the
Mobile Register, says =
,o,s must tell you Of scene saw lastnight
in an ale-house. 1t is an exhibition called
aTudpe and jury got up every night by set
% broken-down BLACKBOARD lawyers-men of
decided talent, but whose talent, as not unfre-
onently happens, is linked with such low and
eroveling moral sense as not to be able to sus-
lain itself in a decent position in society.
They get up mock trials regularly conduct
ed. The Judge and lawyers wear wigs and
gowns. after the style of the English bar.
Gases after the fashion Of the Sickles case are
hrouqht before them-this case was actually
introduced understand, last week, and ar
cued at great length-Mr and Mrs. Sickles
were arraigned-a number OF witnesses, male
and female, were examlned-the facts all
brought out in the most garlng colors, and
then argued with signal abiity-the audience,
. hundred or more, sit around at little beer-ta-
HES drink beer and smoke at leisure The
ease witnessed last night was one of a equity
old gentleman by the name OF Turnkey, whose
Young wife had treated him somewhat after
the manner of Mrs. Sickles, and he sued for
diyorce-you cannot conceive of the wit and
fun drawn out by these rascals in the case-my
sides are now sore from laughing-they had as
many female as male witnesses, and you may
imagine that they were a choice set of ladies'
their testimony was given in inimitable style.
A very handsome young lawyer closed the ar
gument, in one of the most imprisoned and ell
oquent speeches of an hour and half | ever
heard, in defence Of the much injured Mrs.
Flunkey-you never saw lawyer more in ear
nest, and exhibiting more deep feeling, and he
drew down most rapturous applause from the
whole of us.
