! "Well, madam, won't you be 80 good
as to come to my office. am not in q
condition to see any man on business
just now, and beg of you to desist and
come to the bureau"
~ don't care anything about your
condition, General Plcasanton; but 1t is
matter of some importance that wish
to see you upon, and this is and good an
opportunity as any"
"My gracious, madam" exclaimed
the agonized Commissioner, shifting
his financial person from one leg to the
other, won't you permit me to dress
for dinner"
"I have no objection to your dressing
for dinner, but what I want to know is,
what are you going to do about this
Vanderbilt case? That Vanderbilt case
is a great outrage, sir, ard I can see that
somebody is to be swinlcd out of half a
million of dollars" ana here followed a
statement of the Vanderbilt case, that
occupied just twenty minutes by the
clock, and was very fo.cible aud empha-
tic. At the end Of it, when the strong
minded Woodhull paused for breath,
the Commissioner said:
~ don't know anything about the
Vanderbilt case, madam. 1 have not
looked at single paper. 1 have not
heard anything but what you have told
me. have not had time. by thunder,
l don't get time to get on my breeches.
l don't want to be rude, but l wish you
would go away and let me dress"
AT this moment knock WAS heard at
the door, and Pleasanton yelled louder
ever he gave command to a battalion,
"Come in" The door opened, and the
substantial figure and handsome face Of
one Commodore Alden appeared upon
the entrance. So soon as he did this,
the Commissioner chassezed from the
rear of his arm chair to the back of
sofa and, Alden thinking that he was
intruding upon some tender scene be-
tween the General and the female, beat
hasty retreat. But the Commissioner
was not to be 1orsaken, and he ran to
the door, 'jerked it open, and with the
tail end Of his linen flying in the wind,
seized Commodore Alden, and brought
him back, when the cool and courage

Iowa Deaf and Dumb Institution.

Fifteen years ago the people Of Iowa,
by legislative enactment, established a
"State Institution for the Deaf and
Dumb The formal opening of the In
stitntion took place on the Sd Of Rely,
lS55, at Iowa City, some 90 pupils being
present. The school continued at Iowa
City, in rented quarters, until last Nov
ember, when it was opened in the new
building in this city, provided for its
support by the liberality OF the people
of the State.
The Institution opened with about 90
pupils, in charge of the following off,

This session closed yesterday, and the
pupils have ere this departed for their
various homes cherishing grateful rec
objections for the kind care and useful
knowledge received Through the bounty
of the State at the elegant and spacious
editice at which they have been quar-
tered during the seven months session
just closed.
The studies pursued at this Institution
40 not differ materially from those in
ordinary schools. and the exhibition
Tuesday afternoon was similar to those
witnessed at schools where spoken lam
guabe is used.
The first exercises consisted of exami-
nations, and were vigorously conducted
to show to what extent the pupils had
conquered their lessons. The rectations
were mostly on states, and the pupils
put their ideas and and answers down
in an intelligent manner. Those Of the
pupils who entered the school for the
first time last December gave the most
satisfactory proof of having received
thorough and profitable instruction. -

learn to write fair hand, spell ordinary
words correctly and form simple sen,

months, requires indomitable persevere.
ance and love Of work, Oh the part of the
teacher, and some aptitude in the schol-
ar.
This has been accomplished at this
school, and we think better tui,ionai
work can hardly be shown from any
quarter.
The closing exercises of the day
showed that some Of the pupils, at least,
had touch Of dramatic power. Miss
Netie Iseral, n bright and comcly girl of
fourteen summers-tive years an inmate
of this institution told us all about the
boy on the burning deck" in very
graceful manner, but in language not
generally understood.
Maggie Copp, golden haired, pleas
ant faced young lady from Muscalinc,
went through the motions of housekeep
ing in most excellent style. Her wash
tub backache was true to life, and the
ladies present invoiuntarily said to her,
"you know how it is yourself"
Richard Dixon, aged fourteen, did the

Thinnest Sheet.irop Ever Rolled.

1t is stated that the mill manager at
Hallamis celebrated works in Swan
sea, Wales, has succeeded in making
q sheet of iron of the finest appearance
and thinnest that has yet been seen
by mortal eye. The iron from which
this sheet was rolled was made on the
premises. 1t was worked in q finery
with charcoal and the usual blast, ar
terward taken to the hammer to be
formed into q regular fiat bottom ;
from thence conveyed to the balling
furnace, and when sufficiently heated
taken to the rolls, heightened and
cut by shears into proper length piled
up and transferred to the balling fur
mace again when heated, It was
passed through the rolls, back again
to the balling furnace, and when du-
ly brought to the proper pitch, taken
to the rolls and made into a thorough
good bar. Such is the history in con-
nection with the forge department.
1t was then taken to the mills and
rolled till it was supposed to be thin
ner than twenty-three grains, after
ward passed through the cold rolls to
give it the necessary polish, and now
it stands on record as the thinnest
sheet on ofiren ever rolled. 1t is ten
by five and one-half inches, or fifty
five inches in surface, and weighs but
twenty-five grains, which being
brought to the standard of eight Dy
five and one-half inehes-or forty
four inches-is but sixteen grains, or
thirty per cent. less than any previous
effort, and requires at least four thous-
and one hundred to make one inch in
thickness.

Good HeaIth as an EIenen. Of Success.

It is no exaggeratiOn to say that
health is large ingredient in what
the world calls talent. A man with
out it may be a giant in intellect but
| his deeds will be the deeds of a dwarf
On the contrary, let him have aqulck
circulation, a good digestion, the bulk,
thews, and sinews of q man, and the
alacrity, the unthinking confidence
inspired by these, and though having
but thimbleful Of brains. he will
either blunder upon success or set
failure at defiance. It Is true, especi-
ally in this country, that the number
of contours in every eommunity-of
men in whom heroic intelleets are
allied with bodily constitution as
tough as horses-is small; that in
general, man has reason to think
himself well OFF in the lottery OF life
if he draws the prize of a healthy
stomach without mind, or a prize of
a fine intellect with a crazy stomach.
But of the two, a weak mind in a
hereulean frame is better than giant
mind in crazy constitution. A pound
Of energy with an ounceof talent will
achieve greater results than a pound
of talent with an ounce Of energy. The
first requisite to success in life is 10 be
a good animal. In any OF the learned
professions, vigorous constitution is
equal to at least fifty per cent. more
brains. Wit, Judgement, Imagination,
eloquenee, all the qualities Of the
mind, attain thereby a force and
splendor to which they could never
attain without it. But intellect in
weakly body, is 'like gold in a spent
swimmers pocket" A mechanic
may have tools Of the sharpest edge
and highest polish; but what are
these without a vigorous arm and
hand? OF what use is il that your
mind has become a vast granary OF
knowledge, if you have not strength
to turn the key?

How to be Polite.
10 not trY to be- polite

do not Lry 70 pc pOl1Le. -
Never oYerwhelm your friends by
begging them to make themseIve at
home, or they will soon wish they
were there. Show by your actions
rather than your words that you are
glad to see them. 1sl
Have enough regard for yourself to
treat your greatest enemy with quiet
politeness. All petty sights are mere
ly uneasiness and hurt yourself more
than any one else.
Do not talk about yourself or your
family to the exclusion Of other topics.
What if you are clever and little
more so than other people, It may not
be that other folks viii think so,
whatever they ought to do. -.r
1t may be interesting to you to talk
over your ailments, but very tiresome
for others to listen to.
Make people think you consider
them clever and agreeable, and they
will be pretty apt TO have 8 pleasant
impression of yourself.
Treat people Just as you would like
to have them treat you.
1t is much easier 10 lose the good
opinion of people than to regain it;
and when any one does not care for the
good opinion Of others he or she Is not
worthy Of respect.
DonOt excuse your house, funitnFe,
or the table you set before your guests
1t Is fair to suppose their visits are to
you, not your Surroundings.
The whole machinery OF fsoeialinter.
course Is very delicate and intricate,
and it is our business to keep all
places of possible friction well supplied
with the oil Of politeness.

RAILWAY COURTESY .

A Boston paper wishes to know II
there is any way of silencing the rail-
way liars. We are told that it is a
common thing for travellers Of both
sexes to enter a car, take q seat next
the window, place q shawl or carpet
bag or newspaper on the other seat,
and then tell the next applicant that
it is reserved or engaged, and repeat
the lie as often as application for 1t Is
made, with apparently as little com
Function of conscience as they would
eat a fine peach or an ice-cream. In
view of this prevalent system Of rail-
way lying, it's not strange If occasion
ally there should be one who, havilg
had his faith in such statements who'll
ly destroyed, should take possession
of an uuOecupied seat whenever be
finds it. At any rate, we are certain
-of one thing, and that is that there
ought to be q reform in this matter OF
railway lying about engaged" OF
reserved seat. An old traveller, il
seems, entered Boston train, and
deposited himself in q seat which
contained a dog. He quietly lifted
the canine down, and was informed
that that seat was "taken." "I know
it is" was the response, as he buried
himself in his paper. 1t seems the
seat was really claimed, but he declin-
ed to it up. Thus we have the lecture
on railway etiquette. There are GER
tain little matters occurring in public
conveyances which the company can
not regulate, and this is one of them.
But they can be made to furnish a
seat to every passenger who purchases
a ticketor pays his fare. If passen-
ger sees a vacant seat it is his right to
take it, and it is only a matter o.
courtesy between man and man that
requires him to relinquishi it to a com
panion of the one he sits beside. The
courtesy cannot be forced on any one,
If he is determined to keep the seat hC
has obtained, he cannot be forced out
of it so long as he behaves himself
The only remedy is to force railways
to attach cars enough to accommodate
all their patrons.

Henry Clay Dean is termed "an
anti-aquariann by the Richmond Dis
patch, which proceeds to say: "He
used to be the chaplain Of the United
States Senate. When he was elected
to that Office, this story was told Of
him in almost every paper then pub
lished in the United States: Preach
ing one Sunday at a country church
in Marion County, Virginia, he was
disturbed by the fact that his hearers
turned their heads to look at every
person who came in. He told them
to keep their eyes upon him, and be
would tell them who came in. And
sure enough, the tardy brethren and
friends were amazed as when they en-
tered Dean called out, That's Brother
Eli Satterfield.' That's Brother Paul
Haun.i That's Brother Merrifeld|
That's Job HaWkins.' But he fairly
astonished his congregation when he
sung out, "A little old man in a white
coat and black hat. / don't know
who he is. Look for yourselves T"

Interesting Facts About Coal Mining

Interesting Facts About Coal Mining
The Commissioners recently ap-
pointed by the British Government
to examine into several matters relata
ing to coal mining have just issued a
report which contains interesting in
formation on the question of the max
imum temperature of air compatible
with the healthful exercise Of human
labor. This question arosein attempt
ing to decide the maxium depth at
which it would be possible to mine
coal, and the committee found it ex-
tremely difficult to arrive at a eonclu-
sion. Evidence was given of ex-
traordinary temperatures endured in
the "stoke holes" of steamers and
near glass-blowers' furnaces, in some
cases labor having been carried on in
places where the thermometer iadi-
Gated $50 degrees Fahrenheit. The
men who work in these places, il is
however observed, have ready access
to the external air, and cool them
selves at numerous intervals of their
lAbors. One of the medical witnesses
who had lived for the greater. part of
his life in the tropics, stated that he
hd experienced Us degrees Fahren-
heit in the shade, and that this great
heat was only rendered endurable by
the dryness Of the air. He also stated
that he had felt damp atmosphere
almost intorable at the low tempera-
turs of Sc degrees. .H e..
On the other hand. information was
conveyed to the committee, Of mining
work being executed in q Cornish
mine where the air was heated by q
hot spring to temperature of III de-
grees, and was almost saturated with
moisture. A member of the commit.
tee was deputed to visit this mine and
report. According to this examina-
ton 1t appeared that a temperature Of
1142 degrees existed in the excavation,
but that at q distance of thirty feet
there was access to the air where the
thermometer stood st 81 degrees. The
miners remained in the workings six
hours out of the twenty-four. -Four
men were employed at a time, of
whom two were always at rest in the
cool air, and no miner remained more
than fifteen minutes to the heat at
one time. The total duration of each
mans work was less than three hours
in the twenty-four. Each miner on
retreating into the cool air was per-
fectly exhausted, but by pouring cool
water over the body the exhaustion
and distress passed off. 1t was the
opinion of the examiner that the oe-
cupation above described was not
necessarily inconsistent with the en-
joyment Of vigorous health. He was
also of the opinion that labor is not
practical in a temperature of 9So, or
Blood heat, except for short intervals.
The depth at which, under ordinary
circumstances, the temperature of the
air becomes equal to the heat of the
blood is 2, ,420 feet, but il is believed
that by mechanical means and forced
ventilation, depth Of 1000 feet may
be reached and temperature Of $50
preserved. s
