American Steal.

T. The number of steel furnaces in the
United States in 1850 was five, all in Penn
sylvania. They employed a capital of $52,-
300 aud 40 hands, consumed materials of
the value of $t33, 43o, and paid for labor
wa, 100, yielding product valued at
$172080. a
In 1850 returns were made of 10 steel
making establishments, of which were
In Pennsylvania, 2 in New York, and 2
IN New Jersey. Their total capital amount
ed to $1,640,000. The number of hands
was 74S, and the cost of labor $30S, 1856.
The material used cost 1906, 179, and pro.
duced ! 1888 ton of steel, valued at ST.
770,24O, and an average value of $3.50 per
ton. The product was nearly ten fold the
amount manufactured in 1860.
The Pennsylvania furnaces employed a
capital of $1,345,000 and the labor of 500
persons. They manufactured9,S 800 tons of
steel, worth 1858 ,200' being about eight
fold its product in 1850, and an average of
$136 per ton Six of the establishments
were in Allegheny county, and theirunited
capital amounted to $1,3SO,000 and the
number of hands in them to 522 persons.

Bottles of Ice,

Decanters filled with frozen water are
we'll known feature Of Partisan restaurants
and are supplied regularly by companies,
one of which furnishes over six thousand
daily. The cost is said to be very trifing
tho freezing being effected in the follow
ing manner The decanters filled two
thirds with well filtered water are placed
in shallow tanks Of sea-water each tank
containing copper reservoir connected
with a receiver filled with ether. The air
is exhausted from the reservoirs by an air
pump worked by steam, causing the ether
to boil and pass over in the state ofvapor,
accompanied of course by refrigeration
that reduces the temperature of the salt
water and the water in the decanters, be-
low the freezing point The water in the
decanters, however, usually remains liquid
until stirred with a glass rod, when it
freezes at once Elongated cubical vessels
of metal may be substituted for the ne
canters, and ice producedinlarge quantities
and at low price.

Mineral in Missouri.

Lead has been found in more than five
hundred localities in Missouri the veins
run through twenty counties, and inter
acct an area of more than 5000 square
miles The average of assays of ore from
all parts of the State, is seventy-tive per
cent of pure lead. Coal has been found
underlying thirty counties Of the State,
the deposits amounting in the aggregate
to 36,887 square miles, with a mean thick
ness of eight feet. DR.. Litton thinks the
iron mountains of Missouri contain enough
metal above surface to afford an annual
supply of 100000 tons for two hundred
years. The ore is almost exclusively specu-
lar, and yields 56per cent pure iron, strong
tough, and fibrous. Zinc is very abundant,
thousands Of tons being annually thrown
away by the miners as vexatious and
worthless impeachment to their progress
Copper has been found in fifteen counties,
but very little attention has been to the
zinc or copper deposits, because of the
profits derivable from the working of lead
and iron mines, So says DR.. Sylvester
Waterhouse, of St Louis, in a pamphlet

Larger Horses.

A correspondent, residing in Knox
county, is pleased with the efforts now be-
ing made to introduce the French draft
horses. He says the farmers need large
and well-developed horses to bring out
the wealth that lies in these prairies In
this he is right. We are satisfied from
personal observation in France, that for
heavy farm work, for teaming
and for draft, omnibus and street
car horses in our cities, the Percheron
horse has no superior We have to many
Of the small breeds of horses For the
road and for light work the Morgans are
we'll adapted They are light, easy to
keep, active and hardy; but they, like all
light horses, must fail for the heavy work
of the farm, the road or the city. 1t is
our opinion that when bred in sufficient
numbers, the French horses will take the
place in this city, and in all others, of the
diminutiye, unsubstantial stock now in
use. We think farmers will find the new
stock profitable to breed, both for home
use and for sale Those enterprising men
who have of late been bringing these ami
mails to this country, have done a good
thing, and should be looked upon as pub
lie benefactors.

The ISSUE WELL STATED.-The 81

The ISSUE WELL STATED.-The Boentng
Post clearly states the chief issue before
the country in the present canvass "The
Republicans offer the country settlement
already completed in nearly every State,
upon just and equal principles; the
Democrats promise to overthrow all that
has been done, and begin new and inter
minable squabble over reconstruction
Now, it is well known that we have not
approved all parts of the scheme of re-
construction but that plan is now success
full under it all but three of the South
ern States have established State Govern
ments and no patriotic or practical man
can be willing to see all these State Gov
ernments uprooted, and the whole country
again plunged into uncertainty, distress,
alarm and threatened with revolution.
This would be as though one should de.
mand that battle must be fought over
again, because it had not been won in ex-
act accordance with the recognized prin-
ciples of military science.

A Test Ezpounded--What Restoration il
Demanded and How to be Attained.

From the N. Y. Evening Post.
The kind of restoration they demand
is thus described by Frank p. Blair, their
candidate for Vice President in the letter
which he wrote for the Convention:
1--WE must have President who will
execute the will of the people by tramp
ling into dust the usurpation of Congress;
known as the Reconstruction acts"
But how to get President who will
disperse and overthrow CONGRESSES pre-
vious question. This is answered by Mr..
| Wade Hampton, who declared the ratif
cation meeting in this city, on Thursday
last, that his party must seize the polls
in the South, and have the white vote
cast alone He declared:
81 want you all to register an oath that
when they do vote their vote shall be
counted, and when if there is majority
of white votes, that you will place Sey-
mour and Blair in the White House in
spite of all the bayonets that shall be
brought against them"
of course he means that the mob thus
| to be raised shall decide who has "a
majority of white votes
| But this language is evidently carefully
| adapted to the latitude and to the some
what sensitive ears of Governor Seymour's
friends" Mob law has its charms for
them but they do not like secession.
But when the delegates get to Richmond
they tell the people more plainly what
they mean.
Thus ex-Confederate Governor Vance
of North Carolina, there said she could
talk more Familiarity of the wrongs of the
South here than at the North" Accord
ingly he declared himself still "rebel, .
and argued at length that "what the Con
federacy fought for would be won by the
election of Seymour and Blair"
I Indeed, in the Richmond atmosphere
there is a disposition to simplify the can
vass to this one issue-Seymour and the
rebellion against Grant and the Union.
Thus ex- Governor Wise. in his eloquent
way, reasoned that since the candidates
were acceptable to the rebels, the plat
form was of no account at all.
es"He did not care for the platform. Il
told lie in its first resolution. 1t said
secession was dead; that is not so; seces
sion was more alive than ever. He sup
ported the nominees, and especially Blair
because he had declared that he would as
sumo military power"

SoLAR.-The following has been going
the rounds of the press for some time -
Suppose man start from any point on
the line of the equator at twelve O'clock
on Monday noon, and travel west at rate
of speed sufficient to keep the sun direct
ly over his head-in twenty four hours he
would necessarily arrive at his place Of
departure, finding, of course, that it was
Tuesday noon. Now suppose for sake Of
example that line of stations
be located directly on his line of travel at
distance from each other of ten miles
Enquiring the time Of day at each station
as he progresses, he is told twelve o'clock
Monday noon. Yet manifestly, at some
station he must be informed that it is
Tuesday noon. Query-at which one, and
could there be discrepancy Of twenty
four hours between any two localities not
more than ten miles apart?"

Governor Morton, at Indianapolis
Wednesday night, said if the Democratic
party should succeed in November,slaver
would be restored Chief Justice Chase
says if Seymour should be elected,sll that
was gained by the war would be lost
Wade Hampton, in speech at Charles
ton, says substantially the same thing.
He declares that the platform committee
told him that the South should have ev-
erything it desired, but said it would not
do to put that in the platform. He &C
cepted the pledge,on condition that these
words be add to the 9Th resolution:
"And we declare that the Reconstruction
acts are revolutionary, unconstitutional
and void" This was agreed to. "When
1 proposed that" says Hampton, "every
member of the committee came forward
and said they would carry it out to the
end.

One of the strongest and best reasons
for opposing the Democratic ticket is the
fact that in case it should succeed and
Seymour shall die or become incapacitated
Blair would become President. And the
danger of such an event is real and press
ing.-The talk about hereditary insanity
in the Seymour family is no joke, but so
Der earnest Once elected President Mr.
Seymour could not stand for six months
the pressure that would be brought to
bear upon him by hungry Office seekers,
and if he did not die he would soon have
to be carried to some insane asylum, i'll all
probability. Then, Blair, And Blair a
heavy handful at tina best, would be intol-
cradle so soon after Johnson Even the
more respectable of the Democrats must
shudder at such prospect

Five of the japanese who came to this
country are now students at the Acad envy
at Manson, Mass They find good deal
of difficulty in speaking English, but have
learned to read it with some facility, and
manifestly understand what they read.
They are very fond of studying the Bible
and comparing Christianity with the
philosophy of Confuscius, in which they
are thoroughly grounded.

An old farmer communicates to us the
following receipt to prevent wheat from
molding in bins
"In piling up your wheat after it has
been cleaned with the fan, to every three
bushels put in good hard brick, dried
by the sun, and be sure it is perfectly dry
at the same time you use it. The brick
absorbs the moisture that naturally ac
cumulates in the grain, and causes the
wheat to become hard and finty."

Worth Reading.

We clip the following from an exchange
and give it to our readers because of it,
truthfulness. 1t is rather queer piece OF
poetic prose, and yet contains more truth
than poetry. We commend it the notice
OF all business men: m
When trade grow slack, and notes fell
due, the merchants face grew long and
blue; his dreams were troubled through
the night with sheriff's bailiffs all in sight.
At last his wife unto him said. Rise up
at once, get out of bed, and get your pa
per, ink and pen, and say these words UNI
| to all men:
My goods wish to sell to you, and to
your wife and daughter too; my prices
they shall be so low, that each shall buy
before they go"
He did as his good wife advised, and in
the paper advertised Crowds came and
bought of all he had his notes were
paid his dreams, were glad and he will tell
you to this day how well did printers ink
repay.
He told us with knowing wink, how
he was saved by printers ink.
The other in place as tight, contented
was the press to slight. And did not let
the people know of what he had or where
to go.
His drafts were due and were not paid :;
a levy on his goods was made the store
closed until the sale, and for some time he
was in Jail A bankrupt now without a
cent, at leisure he can deep repent. that
he was foolish and unwise, and did not
freely advertise. .1

WOMEN FARMERs.-By Mrs T. L. Lord.
1t may be true that women have not all
the facilities for practical agricultural
education that men have. But they are
getting bravely over these disabilities, at
least in the West The Iowa agricultural
College, just organized, admits young
women to all its privileges. All the other
colleges in that State, including the Uni
versity, have similar provision. The
Kansas Agricultural College also admits
women. There are not few instances of
women, left widows who have taken their
husbands farms, and managed them with
signal success. 1t would be fair to state
also, that other women, in similar circum-
stances, have quite as signally failed.
Some women, as well as
some men, have decided tact for
business, and would manage any thing
well. If such affect farming, there is
nothing in public sentiment, either East
or West, to forbid their success. The
best cultivators of the other sex do not
necessarily handle the hoe or guide the
pillow.
