MAKING STEEL GUNs.-Arrangements have
been completed at the steel-works of Hall
man, Rahm & Co., in Pittsburg, for casting
steel guns, and a large number have been
ordered for General Fremont. The casting
weighs about fifteen hundred pounds, and is
but the rough body of the gun, being of oc-
tagonal shape. These Jumps are to be taken
to Cincinnati, and forged TO the rough out
line of gun, ready for turning and finishing.
The process of casting is much more difficult
than that of molding cast iron guns, as the
steel is melted in pots, of which number
are required for each piece cast.

A BEAUTIFUL THoUGHT.-A solemn and
beautiful thought is expressed in the follow
ing:
1t is related of we'll known divine, who,
when living, was called the "Prince of Di-
vines" that, when on his death-bed, he was
debating words to an amanuensis, who had
written:
~ am still in the land of the living"
"Stop," said the dying man; correct that.
Say: am yet in the land of the dying, but
hope soon to be in the land of the livingp
Beautiful thought-snd it is so. In his
closing scene, the Christian is enabled to con-
trast this passing, dying world with that
which is to come.

FRREMAsoNRY AT FORTRESS MoNRoE.-A
letter to the Philadelphia Inquirer, dated at
Fortress Monroe, says;
Freemasonry prevails to a great extent
emour the officers and men of our army, and
by greater portion of them the loss of the
benefits and pleasures Of attendance upon
lodge meetings is severely felt. To remedy
this and to keep themselves bright in the
workings of the plan, they have established
lodge at this post. A dispensation to work
in the three degrees of Masonry has been
granted by the Grand Lodge Of the State Of
New York, and for several weeks they have
been IN active service. A lodge-roOm has
been fitted up, and the regalia and working
tools of the lodge will outrank many lodges
who have better facilities for their labors
The lodge is well attended, some of the most
distinguished officers here being among the
members and regular attendants.

Our SOLDIERS PREFBRRING FIGHT TO
THEIR GoLD.-An amusing scene occurred in
the camp of a Pennsylvania regiment few
days since. Our troops were engaged in a
brisk skirmish with the rebels in Lewins-
vile, just above the Chain Bridge. Nearly
opposite, on this side of the river, General
McCall's division were in camp, and the
paymaster was counting out his gold due
the troops for their services. Word was re-
ceived of what was going on over the river.
The men sprung to their arms, anticipating
an order TO march. The regiment among
whom the money had been distributed turned
their backs upon the psymaster and his
treasure, as if it were a matter of no account.
One man was signing a receipt for his heap
then lying on the table; he dropped his pen,
and rushed for the camp, leaving pen, paper
and gold to take care of themselves. An
other shouted, Hold on to mine till to-mor-
row." and darted from the tent. The pay.
master was left alone with the gold, with
time to contemplate the curious incidents of
war.

A correspondent of the Prairie Farmer
gives the following directions: There is too
much sugar - one-third or one-fourth is
enough. In using the hands on the hot ce-
ment, have basin of cold water at hand,
into which they should be dipped previously,
to cool the surface and to prevent sticking;
and, If any cement should accidentally adhere,
burn may be prevented by instantly plung-
ing them into the water. This mode, in its
essential particulars, is not new, but some of
our readers who practice bottling fruit may
derive some useful hints from it. We have
found Yeoman's bottles the best, which have
a mouth about two inches in diameter and
funnel with a correspondingly wide tube
must be provided.
I use half pound of sugar to pound of
fruit.
Cement-One pound of rosin, one large
tablespoonful of linseed oil, pulverized plas-
ter of Paris enough to make it sufficiently
thick to spread on easily with knife. It
can be made smooth, when quite hot, with
the hands, as the plaster of Paris is nom
| conductor of heat.
Manner Of Putting up the Frmt.-While
your fruit is cooking, heat your bottles by
| placing them in the oven in baking-pan
upon woolen cloth, Tin the PAM, leave the
| door of your oven open, and let the bottles
heat gradually, occasionally turning them.
! Have ready cotton cloths, large enough to
tie over the tops-cover with the cement q
space on the cloth, as large as the top of the
bottle. Have at hand little pieces of white
paper cut round, just large enough to cover
the tops of your bottles. When your fruit
comes to full boil, pour by funnel into your
bottles. Now be spry. Take two of the
round bits of paper, dipped in alcohol, just
as you are readyA and place them first on
the mouth of the bottle. Then your cloths
prepared by handy assistant as directed /;
tie them on firmly and cut all off close to the
string, then cover all entirely with the ce-
ment, go as to exclude the air. Now as hot
as you can bear it, press all close and smooth
with your open fingers. All this must be
done as quickly as possible, as your success
depends on keeping every thing hot. Keep
the cement vessel on the stove when not
using. This sign will follow when cold,
giving assurance that your work is well
done; the mouth of your bottle will be con-
cave. If it remained quite level, do the
work over again, or you will lose your
fruit.

TIE HYMN MARsEILLAIsE.- This spirited
French national song-music and words
was composed in one night. 1t was COM
posed by Mons. Joseph Rougst de iIsle,
while an officer in the Engineer Corps at
Strasbourg, early in the French Revolution.
1t was first entitled "An Offering to Liberty"
but being first publicly sung by the Marseil-
les confederates in 1892, it was subsequently
known as the Marseillaise Hymn. In the
spirit of its chorus the people are rsllying
for the freedom of popular Government.

WEIGHTS AND MEAsUREB.-At the Con-
gress of Social Science, recently held in
Dublin, NJ. Chevalier, Che distinguished
French writer on political economy, gave a
short history of the effort& which have been
made to introduce a universal system of
weights and measures into all countries. In
1890 the centessimal system was adopted in
France, and it is now used in France, Spain,
Portugal, Greece, Belgium Italy, the Neither
lands, and in three of thefepublics in South
America. NJ. Chevalier considers the French
system as the best of all bations. Professor
Hennessy stated that ths great object was
to hit upon measure thAt would meet the
wants of the world at large. The metre and
its divisions appeared most suitable, for the
metre is fraction Of the meridian of the
earth. He had heard great deal said against
the metre, because it was French system,
but if it were the best itshould be adopted,
and become cosmopolitan. The Social Con-
gress passed resolutions recommending the
adoption of uniform and general system
Of weights and measures.

NEW IDEA.-A proposition made the other
day by a creditor in this city to debtor,
strikes us as something unique and novel.
The former had been importuning the latter
for some time TO ',fOrk over" the amount at
issue, but the prospect of obtaining his Just
dues was any thing but flattering. Finally
the "tough customer" proposed to adjust the
matter by giving his note. The creditor re-
volved the proposition in his mind for a
moment and then gravely replied that he
was willing to accede to it, provided he
would write the note on buckskin Detroit
Tribune.

A sermon was preached in Charleston, s.
g., about the middle of last March, by Rev.
G. O. Pinckney, which has since been pub
lished, by request. This reverend gen.
tleman, with the good old patriotic name,
gives to his discourse the significant title,
"Nebuchadnezzar's Fault and Fall" The
fault is certainly not on his part, If his hear
ers were not much edited and profted. The
following, which we quote, has the sound of
almost prophetic warning;
Let US not rest our hopes upon identity Of
institutions in the Southern States. Slavery
is itself no bond of Union. 1t has become 80
with us simply as the result of outward
pressure. The Chaldean monarchy, the
Roman empire, the Greek republics, the
South American States, were all save-hold-
ing countries. But they have all fallen to
pieces notwithstanding. OF ITSELF it is q
mere rope of sand, with no more power,
politically, than any other recognized rela-
tionship. Let US not repose on our agricul-
tural staples.
Cotton is the king whom commerce
now worships But its reign may pass away
like other human scepters. 1t is not now
more firmly established in its supremacy
than NebuchadDeZzsr was in his. Suddenly
as the ancient monarch was hurled from
his seat, the dominant staple may be from
its commercial throne. Sixty or seventy
years since, indigo was the produce ofSoulh.
ern fields, and cotton scarcely known.
Seventy years hence some other culture may
supplant this as it has supplanted the former
| production, and more remuneIstive labor
may fill its place. These are the two human
props upon which the Southern mind is now
| tempted 10 lean, instead of upon the Eternal
| God. They are the arches upon which pride
| is resting our political house. But they will
| sink beneath the superintendent weight
like the arches in the walls OF Babylon.

Activity Across the Potomac Movement

New YORK October Especial dispatches
state that it is believed in Well-informed cir
cles that General Fremont has been sum-
moned to Washington, but the agent of the

it must be untrue.

active to, o,dsy, moving in all directions. It is
copjectuIed that General Mcclellan intends
to drive in the rebels but not to give battle
yet. When the rebels left Falls Church, the

AaIt 0StriIkas,, Tod.

Hon. David Tod, in recent speech at
Youngstown, thus explains the law recon-
mended by him, in reference to unlawful
combinations to prevent laborers from con.
tinuing at work while portion are on a
''strike''
By the provisions of this law you will dis.
cover that, as all laws should, it opposes or
protects all classes of men alike. For, if
three or more clergymen, or three or more
doctors, "shall conspire and agree together"
to use unlawful means to prevent another
preacher or doctor from the prosecution of
his lawful calling, they are liable to its PEN
aties. So, too, if three or more proprietors
of coal mines-for instance, Andrews, Mur-
ray and myself--were to conspire to prevent
an honest coal miner from getting work, the
law would reach US. So, too, if three or
more coal-miners shall conspire together
To prevent another weak and without such
a law unprotected fellow-laborer from go.
ing to work, the law would reach them.
Thus you see that the object Of the law was
to protect individuals against combinations,
the weak against the strong. No we'll
thinking man, be he preacher, doctor, coal
proprietor or coal-miner, will object to such
law.

me in this business, and hear what they have

Ask the widows and children of all who have
died in my employment. Ask the Welch-
man. the Irishman, the German, the Scotch
man, now surrounded by their happy wives
and little ones whom they left behind them
in the old country, how they were able to
get them over. Look to their neat churches
and school houses that have aided in erect
ing, and let these answer whether have OPP

And now, friends, to keep my word to my
physician, must soon come to close.
TOD ON TREASON.
An example must soon be set to all future
traitors. The ring LEADERS Of this rebellion
must be put out Of the aOGy. This done, the
thousands of good and loyal men now acting
with them from cOmpulsion, will again return

shed its protecting care over all, whether
weak or strong, rich or poor.
