Only a Farmer.

A debate occurred in the Maine Legis-
lature on the question Of granting town
ship of land to the Maine Wesleyan Sem
mary at Kent's Hill, in course Of which
a clergyman made speech and illustra-
ted the benefits Of the institution by quo
ting the history Of a young man who,
through them became preacher, where
as, without the advantages Of tha Semina-
ry he would have remained only farmer.
"Only Farmer !'said Mr. Small, of
Lyndon, another member of the House ;
Il am farmer, and not ashamed to be
one, and [ am now asked to vote the
means of elevating men so as to look
down and sneer at me p
The bill did not pass.

Iron and Steel.

Steel is iron passed through process
called cementation, the object of which
is to impregnate it with carbon. Carbon
exists more abundantly in charcoal than
any other fusible substance, and the
smoke that goes up from charcoal forge
is carbon in a fluid state. Now, if you
can manage to confne that smoke, and
put piece of iron into it for several days,
and heat the iron at the same time, it
will become steel. Heating the iron
opens its pores, so that the smoke or car
bon can enter into it.
The furnace for this purpose is conf
cal building of brick, in the middle of
which are two troughs of brick or stone,
which hold about four tons of bar iron,
At the bottom is large CRATE for the
fire. A layer of charcoal is put at the
bottom of the troughs, then layer OF
bar iron, and so on, alternately, until the
troughs are full They are then covered
over with clay, to keep out the air, which,
if admitted, would prevent the cemehta-
tions. Fire is then communicated TO the
wood and coal with which the furnace is
filed, and continued until the conversion
of iron into steel is completed, when
generally happens in about eight or ten
days. This is known by the blisters on
the bars which the workmen occasionally
draw out in order to determine. When
the conversion is completed the fire IS
then let go out, and the bars remain IN
the furnace about eight days more to
cool.
The bars of steel are then taken out,
and either sold as blistered steel or drawn
to convenient size, when it is called IL
tied steel. German steel is made out OF
this blistered rtcel, by breaking the bars
into short pieces and welding them to-
gether, drawing them down to proper
size for use.

a Singular Confession.

In November, 1862, a man named
John Strawbndge, was found lying in a
dying condition, on the banks ofthe Sus-
quehanna river, near Harrisburg. He
had evidently been beaten and robbed,
but he was 50 badly injured that he new
er spoke after being found, and the muir
derer escaped. An old lady named Paul
recently called upon District Attorney
Herr, stating that young woman who
recently died in Harrisburg, confessed,
upon her death bed, that she, in compa-
ny with lover, was prOmenading on the
river bank on the evening preceding the
day on which Strawbridge was found !;
that her lover knocked Strawbridge down
and robbed him, supposing that he was
dead; that she was forced to swear that
she would never reveal the murder, but
her conscience compelled her to state the
facts before departing this life. The al
legged murderer is in the army, and if
guilty it is hoped that some means may
be found by which he may be made to
suffer the penalty of his crime. The
case is a singular one throughout, and
has created considerable sensation in the
city of Harrisburg.

A Conscientious Minister.

There is a story Of travelling preach
er, whose opinions in regard to horse flesh
were quite as ready and orthodox as were
the views of scriptural doctrine with
which he enlightened his backwoods au-
diences, who once stopped at the house
of brother of the same faith who had
reared beautiful colt. Between the
morning and afternoon services on Sun
day, the two ministers visited the barn of
the resident preacher, where the latter
INTRODUCED his promising colt to the trav-
cling brother. The guest was so much
delighted at the fine points Of the animal
that he could not restrain himself and
he Immediately blurted out the question,
Suppose it was not the Sabbath, Broth
er-, h010 arould you trade ?'

from Ogdensburg, in this State, applied
at the office of Capt, Maddox, No. 26
Grand street, for place in the Union
ranks. The attending surgeon gave ia
vorable opinion of his physique, and he
was accepted. When asked to sign his
name, he wrote in very legible characters,
"SToNEwALL JACKSON" The commits

tion," said the volunteer cit rises my

A Dinner Speech bY Proxy.

Last winter capital dinner was given
by Mr.. Stoneham, in Fourteenth street
New York, to select circle of friends,
including some of the pleasantest char
acters in town. All went merrily as a
dozen of marriage bells, and when the
health of Mr.. Stoneham was given, and
speech invoked. he said-and what was
indeed very true-that he never made a
speech in his life, and it was too late for
him to begin. But he would call upon
his friend, Mr.. Wagjaw, who was sitting
on his right, to express his feelings, in
stead of attempting to do it himself.
Dir. Wagjaw rose, and regretted that
some one else had not been called on
to- do justice to Mr. Stoneham's senti-
ments; but having been commanded to
speak in behalf of their noble host, he
would thank the gentlemen for the honor
Of their company around his social board,
The pleasurn he had enjoyed in their flow
IF soul; and he would beg that they
would give him the additional happiness
IF dining with him week from that day
A sudden start of Mr. Stoneham told
low unexpected was this climax to the
speech of his mouthpiece but the un-
bounded applause with which it was re-
,eived, and the richness of its humor, ST.
enced all objections, and he made the
,est of it, by repeating his banquet on
he following Thursday. 1t was another
rood season,

How the Earth Yields Riches.

An official statement of the mineral
wealth of Great Britain has just appeared In
London, and from it we gather the follow
ing interesting statistics of what the earth
Yields for the enrichment of the British peo-
pie. There are over 3,OSs collieries in op-
Grafton, employing over quarter of mil
lion of persons-including seven thousand
women. The largest quantity OF coal pro-
duced in any one year was S3,635,2l4 tons.
This was in 1861. The average export of
coal from England is about 100000 tons
year. Of iron seven and half millions of
tons were melted last year, but 36,27O tons
besides were imported The value of the
pig iron produced last year was nearly f1O,-
100000. or S5OO0O,00O. There are $50
copper mines in the kingdom, of which 2O1
are in Cornwall and Devonshire, and they
produced in the year 1862 over 224,OOO
tons of one-but this gave ouly IA 043 tons
of fine copper after refining. The tin mines
yielded more in 1862 than in previous years,
tons of ore, worth, after refining, $5,0O0,-
600; but there is prospect that the Cornish
mines will yield still more largely thisyear.
Tin has been obtained for more than two
thousand years in Cornwall and Devonshire,
and the mines are more fruitful than ever.
The lead mines yield nearly hundred thou
sand tons year. and the silver extracted
from the lead ore in one year QS52) amoun-
ted to CSC, ,l23 ounces. Small quantities of
gold have been found from time to time;
one mine last year produced five thousand
ounces, worth about 100000. Earthly
lime, salt, and the valu-
rble clays-produce annually about eight
and a half million of dollars; and the annual
value of all the mineral products is about
S225, 100000. The great coal yield, how
ever, is the most striking item in these fig
ures.

That ''turning water into wine" iz mir

MornonISm.

It would seem that the lately reported
schism among the Mormons is making
headway. We find the following in the
Cincinnati Gazette of Friday: The copy
right of book was taken out the other
day, in the United States District Court
having the following title {" A Book of
Doctrine and Covenants Of the Church
of Christ of Later Day Saints, carefully
selected from the Revelations Of God, as
given in the order Of their dates" 1t is,
perhaps, known to most readers that there
is formidable schism among these
"Saints," the secessionists declaring a.
gainst polygamy, and contenting them
selves with one wife-at least one at a
time. An organization based on this idea
has been in progress of completion in this
city for some time past, under the leader
ship of Joseph Smith, Jr and Israel h..
Rogers, who, in conjunction with others,
have published the book above referred
to. They say that they have missionaries
operating in Brigham Young's dominions,
who are very successful in making con-
verts. Their present rendezvous is In
the vicinity of Chicago, but they have
purchased $4,000 acres of land in Missou-
ri, where they intend to settle when the
war is over, and build up city for the
habitation Of the faithful

While passing down street the other
