4 Marvellous Operation in Iron.

The last number of the COut Jouraa}
says: The ancient spectacle OF TItanS
forging thunder-bOlts for JOve has received
III modern history realization as complete
IN Its way as that which Puck S glriie
round the earth obtains in the electric tcle-
graph. The marvel OF science and of art
bld lar to throw into the shade all the
miracles OF ancient story aud all the dreams
OF the poets. The picture Of AouiuS curb
ing the winds III his icy cave Is not more
wonderful than that which the Times drew
this week III plain, Uuvarnl>hed account
OF non plate rolling at the Atlas works IN
SheiheId. The narrator showed Us two
hundred men half clad in steel armOr. and
envedped IN wet sack cloth, moving from
furnace to the mill a white hot mass Of
nons twenty tons IN weight, and as many
feet In length. No man dared approach
the fiery block nearer than to touch IL with
implements OF gigantic proportions. Even
the bcsoms with which they swept lis sur
face We're fitted up to handles 20 feet long,
aud the bukets OF water discharged npon
1t exploded In volumes of steam. As 1t
passed through the rollers vast jets OF liquid
ire flew from its sides, with Il sound like
the rattle OF musketry in battle. Yet it
was rolled, and gagged, and manipulated,
till in Il quarter OF an hour it was turned
out a smooth, polished plate of the uni
form thickness OF 10 inches This is the
greatest triumph yet received by the iron
rollers. Four years ago it was esteemed
impossible to roll SIX inch plate, aud it
required ocular demonstration to convince
the crowd of Admiralty Lords, Secretarle,
OF State, and scientific authorities, who
went down to these same works to see the
thing done. Bat the demand for monster
plates for irou-coated forts has produced
this far more astounding achievement, and
this ID inch armor is as much superior In
quality as in size to the plates which first
drove hammered armor out of favor"

Butler on Banking.

Montgomery Blair, in speech at bla-
densburg, Nd, few days ago, discussin g
our national banking system, said:
.'One of the best illustrations Of this
finance system was lately given by Gen,
Butler, who is unquestionable authority
among Radicals He admits squareIy that
the Radical system of finance must be
abandoned or the Radical party viii be de-
stroyed. But to the illustration Under
the Chase banking system, with $500 600
in ereenhacks you can get United States
bonds TO that amount. These bonds are
deposited in the Treasury, and they not only
pav six per cent year in gold on them,
but they will return Won $2T000O in green
backs-all but $50 600 Of your money-tO
carry on bank with Bat the operation
does not stop here Butler says those
who are in favor can get the public deposits
nut in their bank also; aud he knows Il bank
in Boston where some parties, with bank
of $500. 600 capital for which, by the pro
cess above described, the Government gets
only the sum of $50 00O, have million OF
dollars on deposit constantly, and they .ac-
rually invest these deposits in Government
bond, and get six per cent a year on them
from the Government. So that by the use
of $50. 900 these men make, first six per
CEN. on $500, o00-sIs 900 in gold, worth
about $27 900 in greenhavks, then $50.
900 in gold for interest on the public de
nosts, equal to 500 600 in greenbackS. =
Thus, without connting any profits on the
loan Of the $270, 900 in greenbacks issued
to them on depositing their bonds, they
make $4,000 year, without risk Or
trouble for the use by the Government OF
$50 600. Was ever a Government feeccd
in such a manner before? There will be no
resumption of specie payments under such
a system.

uralists have discovered and named the
laughing jackass, the laughing hyena, the
laughing cuckatoo, there is but one animal

The horse laugh is a humbug; but the horse
would laugh if he could. for he is not def

The True Friend Of the Soldier.


Work has been commenced on the Ma
tional Military Asylum at Milwaukee, and
the magnificent building viii be pushed
forward TO completion as rapidly as possible
The Government will eIpend some $780,
O00 in building Home for the manned
volunteer soldiers. Il is matter of con-
graduation that this Home is to be built in
our own State, and will be under the con-
troll Of officers who will see that the Wis
con>in soldiers, who have been wounded,
are vel taken care Of In view of the
great benefits to be derived from the build
ing Of such a home, it is meet that we
shpu'd ask to whom we are indebted for
this boon. The question is easily answered
to no man more than to JOHN J. TALL
MADGE, the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor.
When our troops came home from the
victorious field, Mr. TALDMADGE was May
or of Milwaukee, He has done all that
ono m.a could do in aid Of the troops, and
when they returned he discovered there
was one thing yet Wanting-a Home for the

enough ior the rebellion; but calling to
heir mind tie professions they had made
when the troops went away, Mayor TALL
H.DGE vent to work in earnest, For si:cty
days he canvassca the city Of Milwaukee
ia all of subscriptions for the Fair. He
waited upon every business man personally
he told them they must give, and give
literally It took some days to convince
them, but they finally saw their duty. No
nan could work harder than Mayor TALL
HADGE, and the time CT no man was more

'iriac perseverance, and, we may say, dog

attempted, the sum 100000 was realized,
md no man acquainted with the history Of

forts. Without these efforts the work
would never have been attempted.

THE POLITICAL REsULT-The New
York Journal Of Commerce accounts for it
by saying that the republican party be-
came 50 strong, compact and confident that
its leaders felt themselves unchecked, and
men with extreme views vainly thought
that they could lead the whole nation to the
contamination of their widest projects, in
open violation of the constitution, and at
The risk Of universal anarchy and cOnfu-
sion. As these radical leaders advanced
from one step to another their followers
fell off, their ranks grew thinner and less
enthusiastic, until now the more thought
ful among them refuse to bulge another
zach in that direction. They cannot be
coazed nor driven into the harness until the
course is changed"
