a Close Administration.

There is one merit which all parties must
concedc to the present Administration above
any other for tho last quarter Of century,
which IS the ability to keep its own counsels.
Even the lynx-eyed reporters are totally at
fault in regard to its designs towards the re.
bel States, No one outside Of the Cabinet
and those they take in their confidence seems
to have tho slightest idea Of what its policy
is to be. Tho consequence is, that reporters
have been engaged for tie last month in con.
tradicting one day what they have positively
asserted as 'tho most undoubted authority"
tho day before. This is one good indication :.
If they succeed so admirably in keeping tho
Press and public in ignorance Of their inten-
tions, we infer that the traitors will hardly
I've as well posted as they were by tho spie, in
Buclmnan's Cabinet. They may find, some
morning, that they have been caught napp-
ing. At least, we hope so. Straiagem is
certainly fully justified in dealing with trn.

4 Certificate OF Merit,

The Democracy Of the Eighth Ward know
how to appreciate merit. The vote they gsyc
for Hon. Abnsr Pratt on Monday, proves it.
Mr.. Pratt was appointed Consul to Honolulu,
by Mr.. Buchanan, and removed few months
since, for what cause was not known 10 the
public at the time. But the administration
had cause, and sent a commissioner to Hon.
olulu to Investigate it. He discharged that
duty, and was on his way home with facts
showing tho most s'upendous frauds on the
part of govern ment officials there, when lie
was lost with all his papers. L is shrewdly
suspected that if he had lived to reach the
United States, we should have known how
Judge Pratt contriyed 10 make $4,000 in
three years ont of salary Of $4,000. That
he did do it, was probably known to the De-
mocracy Of the Eighth, and they we're so
charmed with the ability, and integrity, it
displayed, that they gave him their votes for
Judge Of the Supreme Court. They thought
him the man for the times and tho place.

Iron Becoming Crystalline by Vibration.

The Paris correspondent Of the Poto-
graphic News, writes as follows
The spontaneous change forged and rolled
iron undergocs when submitted TO continuous
vibration, is productive Of 30 much critical
danger, especially in the case Of railway ma.
chincry, that an investigation into the best
means Of remedying the resulting evils, has
been viewed as an engineering question OF vi
tai Importance. Among Others Mr.. Schim.
melbuch, of Liege, has undertaken the sub.
Ject, and the following is an epitomo of his in q.
vcstigations. a bar Of pure unslloyed iron

minute for six consecutive weeks; at the ex.
piration Of this time it broke into three pieces

A bar Of iron allowed with nickel, submit

change.
a very simple means exists Of recognizing
this changed condition Of iron. so dangerous
in its consequences. Pure iron, when mag
netized by contact, loses its magnetic proper.
ties Immediately when the needle is dc,ach
ed. On the other hand, iron combined with
minute quantities of some foreign body, such
as carbon, oxygen, sul phur or phosphorus, re.
mains maene,ized The efficacy OF this sim
pie test has beon established by repeated ex-
perimcDs.
Specimens Of iron aloyed with carbon,
manganese, zinc, cobalt, tin, chrome and nickel
successfully tested, show that nickel is the on
ly one thSt can be adopted commercially to
correct the tendency to crystaizo in pure iron,
which it Is so desirable to overcome. The
quantity of nickel required TO produce tie
desired effect, varies between por cent and
1000.
Mr.. Schimmelbucl 5 experiments wcro di.
rected chiefly to studying the effects of the
addition of the mineral wolfram to pure iron.
This addition imparts the greatest hardness,
tenacily and density to the iron; invaluable
qualities in axles of machinery, locomotives,
steamboats, and in steam cylinders, light can

quire an extraordinary tenacity, and a hard
ness superior to that of cast steel, by an adj
ton Of to per cent Of this mineral, accord
ing to the quality Of iron employed
Phosphorlc or sulphuric iron becomes very
tough and strong by the addition of a half to
| per cent. OF wolfram, and 3 to per cent.
renders it extremely hard. Iron thus treated
does not lose these qualities, even after Sc
cond or third fusion, and the castings are free
from bubles
The addition Of wolfram to copper and It's
alloys exercises the same beneficial action
The addition of one half per cent imparts
great tenacity, whilst 2 to per cent render
the copper very hard, wit! out in tho least d.

The most important consequences to engi

these and other Investigations, conducted with
