There is story told of Mr. Ralpl

he determined to live after the fashion
of the world and stopping, while he
was of this mind, at "A country tavern III
village where he was to lecture, instead
of retiring to mediate and freeze in his
own cold, cleerless room. he manfully
sat in the bar-room, like the rest of man
kind. He endured the tobacco smoke

and true to his determination to do like
other men, the great philosopher, so the
tale goes, at last rose, and, no doubt,
also, with sufficient degree of courage
in his port and countenance, advanced
to the bar, and with voice modulated
as nearly as he could after those he had
Just heard, demanded ''whiskey skin. "
The barkeeper, a man of high principle,

Iron and Steel.

According to the experiments made by
Mr. Schott, the eminent chemist, the
different qualities of iron and steel can
readily be distinguished by means of the
microscope. Thus the crystals of iron
are double pyramids, in which the pro-
portion of axes to the basis varies with
the quality of the iron. The smallness
of the crystals and the height of the
pyramids composing each element are in
proportion to the quality and density of
the metal, which are seen also in the
fineness of the surface. As the proper
ton of carbon diminishes in the steel
the pyramids have SO much the less
height In pig iron and the lower quail
ties of hard steel, the crystals approach
more closely the cubic form. Forged
iron has its pyramids flattened and re-
duced to superposed parallel leaves,
whose structure constitutes what is called
the nerve of the steel The best quality
of steel has all its crystals disposed to
parallel lines, each crystal filling the
interstices between the angles of those
adjoining. These crystals have their
axes in the direction of the percussion
they undergo in the working. Practically
good steel examined ,nder the micro
scope has tile appearing, of large groups
of beautiful crystals, similar to points of
needles, all parallel and disposed in the
same direction

Trying 10 Force Il Confession.

A most notable proceeding of Vigi-
lance Committee Ill Montana was their
treatment offs member of the noted Davis
family. A young man of this family has
for some time been living in illegalized
alliance with woman named Hoyt, the
widow of man who was killed three or
four years ago while in the act of steal
ing chickens. Esquire Doney's stove,
furniture and other stolen articles were
found at Mrs. Hoyts house, and this and
other circumstances were regarded as
fastening the guilt on Davis. Accord
ingly, one week ago, the committee cap
tured Davis, procured stout rope, en-
circled the culprit's neck in moose at one
end of it, and threw the other end over
the limb of tree. Davis was then given
an opportunity to make his farewell
speech, or confess his wropg-doing and
agree to quit the neighborhood. He
positively refused to criminate himself;
the word was given, and up went his cor
porosity. He was let down aftera momen-
tary suspension, and given another op-
portunity to speak; but, with reckless
ness that was remarkable, or, perhaps,
actuated by the belief that it was only
intended to frighten him, he was still
lefiant, and utterly declined 10 accede to |

VALUE OF NEWSPAPER PROPERTY.
New York Times makes the following
announcement The shares attached to
the Raymond estate, representing about
one-third of the property, were yester-
day purchased by Mr.. Il. Morgan, of
Aurora, Cayuga County. Mr. Morgan
was an original stakeholder, and has
been for sometime past one of the man
aging partners of the paper, in conjunc-
tion with Mr.. George Jones, another of
the original proprietors. These two
gentlemen now hold eighty-two out of
the one hundred shares of the stock in
their own hands. The price paid in
ready money for the shares in question
was S375, 600 Down to the time of Mr.
Raymond's death the shares had never
sold for more than 5000 each. Mr..
Morgan has now paid upwards of Sl1,-
600 each for thirty-four Of them.

Death Of the Double Baby.

j, The Boston Post says We mention.
. ed IN our columns, the presence in Bos.
ton of n most remarkable child, the off.
spring OF Joseph and Ann f. Finley. of
Ohio. II presented the remarkable ms
well rs unprecedented phenomenon of
two heads, four arms, and two legs. and
all upon single body The girl-for
such was her sex-died few evenings
since. The first half or head breathed
its last ut 3, and the second shortly after
O'Clock. The many thousands IN the
Western or Middle States who have
seen this marvellous eccentricity of na-
ture will learn its early death with re-
gret. The child-or children as it twould
almost seem proper to allude to the
phenomenon-had enjoyed excellent
health from her birth, nine months ago
until within two weeks, mt which time
one exhibited signs of illness. This,
however, was but temporary. 1t recoy-

other-or the other half-was taken sick
and died as already stated The two
portions OF the body were so intimately
connected that the death of one render
ed that of the ether inevitable. The
spectacle was equally novel, strange, and
unparalleled. Upon one end of the
body reposed the head of the dead in
lant upon the other that of the live
one with its eyes still bright and curl
ous, and its lrugs in full breathing or

A TERRIBLE Country. Near the con.
fines of FRESNO, Tulare and Inyo coun-
ties, in the vicinity of the head waters of
the Keweah, there exists remarkable
piece of country. The Indians say it is
the abiding place Of the Evil Spirit. The
country is rugged and rocky--mountains,
with deep valleys and PERCEPTIONS cliffs.
Snakes and reptiles of every description
abound in untold numbers, and, taken
in all it is a wild and most uninviting
region. But aside from this a most curl
Gus phenomenon exists. The ground
trembles and quakes almost continu-
ously, and the abundant rocks grind and
grit to yether as if being urged by some
terrible influence Frequently, deep
discharges are heard, muffled and dull,
like the distant sound of heavy artillery
At night the sounds seem to be more
abundant than in the daytime. No In
dian can be induced to venture near the
locality, regarding it with superstition,
horror. No theory is advanced by any
one to account for the strange phenome-
ma mentioned.

ARTIFICIAL LEATHER. "A process has
lately been brought out in England fo,
working up scrap leather, and such parts
of old boots and shoes as have not been
burned, of the fibre of the leather other
wise destroyed, into sort of artificial
leather, which is claimed to be nearly
or quite equal to any in point of wear.
The scraps are first reduced to pulp. To
do this, the thicker and harder pieces
are put into suitable disintegrating or
crushing mill, where they are broken
up, care being taken that the fibre is
not injured. They are then put with
the thinner pieces which did not require
crushing, and the whole thrown into a
powerful rag engine and coverted into
pulp with water or thin solution of
gelatine When the pulp is sufficiently
fine it is run from the EN- gine into a tank
and mixed with stronger solution of
gelatine, after which it is converted into
sheets. These sheets are next enclosed
between other sheets of thin but perfect
leather. A sort Of compound sheet is
thus obtained, which after being sub
Iected to pressure is ready for use.
