has been the universal practice hitherto as II sti
with other manufacturers. to mmerse the sheets,
after all rolling Is done, in acid bath The effect
sought and obtained by this process Is TO give the
metal the fine yellow color 10 which it owes its dis
tinctve name.
But this effect Is, of necessity attended by results
injurious to the metal. The hard and highly polish
ed surface, formed the sheets by successive heat
ing and cooling and the action OF the rolls, Is re-
moved, and surface left In its stead-bright indeed
but rough, pimped and unequally corToded, and con
sideraby softer han the surface removed.
NO one can doubt that any given sheet OF sheath
ing metal must be better with a hard smooth sur-
lace than with a softer and rougher surface.
This Improvement in the art of sheathng ships has
been occurred by Letters Patent OF the United States
to the New Bedford Copper Company.
The composition of this metal is exactly the same
as that OF the yellow Muntz metal, the sole differ
ence being in the surface finish 1t Is believed that

"Hung be the heavens in black."-SHAKs.
For some months past the most scandal
lous rumors have been afloat in this COM
munity in regard to the IdiSOnS of q GER
tain physician with divers Rylphs du Af-
rique but it was not until WITHIN the last
few weeks that the evidence in regard to
the conduct of the gentleman became so
abundant and overwhelming, as not only
to satisfy the public in regard to its truth
tulness, but to disgust every one by its
open and scandalous beastline S. .r.
The physician alluded to has an Office on
the second story of a building not square
from the Kenyon House, in the most public
part of the city; and as the stairway en-
trance is on the outside, passers-by, during
all hours of the night, noticed ladies of
African descent, going to aud from the Doc
tors Office. An investigation took place
by members of an institution of which the
Doctor was an unworthy member, aud the
proof being positive and overwhelming, he
confessed his guilt, and begged not to be
exposed publicly. But as his conduct was
already known to half the people in town,
and hearing rumors that sUme of the b'hOys
were arranging to give him free ride on a
wooden horse, he deemed it prudent to de-
part hence without even saying "good by'
TO his friends s
Being an intensely "loyal" man, it is not
strange that this disciple of Esculapius
should have an unholy passion for negro
wenches. All the teachings of his party
conduce to such dark associations, and lead
to a down-hiU career in morals. As to the
number of ladies OBJ cullah the Doctor
made love to, we are not fully advised; but
it is said that at least two African bellies
are left in condition that is only enVied
