against the Rev. Kendiy:
PLAIN WORDS WHERE NEEDED. {
Intent on making the utmost Ioi
every possible word that could be
construed - likely to injure Mr..
Harlan, Mr.. Allison's friends have
been extensively copying a part Of an
editorial of the IN orthwestern Chris

Newman Harlan letter. As usual
with dishonest practices, this effort
has overshot the mark, and now
comes back on those who have on.
gagged therein. In proof, tho reader
is referred to the article we copy, this
morning from the Advocate. We
commend the utterances therein
contained to the particular attention
OF every fair minded Iowa Republi-
can. 81
I It may be we'll, perhaps, TO remind
the Northwestern Christian Advo-
cate, in this connection, that the ef.
fort it mentions as having been made
against Mr.. Harlan, in endeavors to
iDjure his character az Q member of
the Methodist Church, extended,
also, to Iowa. Indeed, the opening
Of the Senatorial question, in this
State, this year, was had in the proc
lsmation by journal, then in The
interest Of Mr.. Allison, that 30 great
" was Mr.. Harlan shorn of his influ-
ence that even the ministry OF his
own church, the Methodist Episco.
pal, had ceased to have confidence in
him. For the correctness of that
statement, Methodist minister in
Northern Iowa was Cited by indirec-
ton, his name being withheld from
the public. IL has since transpired
that Rev. A. B. Kendig was the
minister intendedj but, although that
gentleman has been for months ex.
ceedingly active against Mr.. Harlan
and increasingly jealous in behalf of
Mr.. Allison, we have yet to hear of
asingle Allison paper that has had q
word to say, iD protest against that
sort of Methodist Interference in
Iowa politics. This latter fact sug-
gests the inquiry, Wherein consists
the difference between q Newman

ron Under the HEiCroScope.

According to the experiments made by
Mr.. Schott, the eminent chemist, the differ
ent qualities of iron and steel can readily
be distinguished by means of the micro
scope. Thus the crystals Of iron are double
pyramids, in which the proportion of axes
to the bases varies with the quality of the
IRON Ihe 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 III the tineness Of the surface As the
proportion of carbon diminishes in the
steel, the pyramids have so much the less
height. In pig iron, aud the lower quail
ties of hard steel, the crystals approach
more closely the cubic form. Forged iron
has its pyramids fattened and reduced 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 per-
cussion they undergo in the working.
Practically good steel examined under the
microscope has the appearance Of large
groups of beautiful crystals, similar to
points of needles, at parallel and disposed
IL the same direction.

Tough HeCfStCah.

Squire n, Il well known barris Ter of
Bclknap county, \. H., having occasion TO
transact some business at OSSireo Court,
found few days at his disposal which he
determined to spend in trouting in the
mountain brooks. In company with an
artist friend he wandered several miles into
the country. Night came down, and the
Sportsmcn concluded to spend the night at
farmhouse, if permission could be OBJ
tanned, and return early next morning to
the village. \ cherry-faccd old lady
granted permission to remain under her
roof that night. Now, as it was necessary
that cur legal friend should be at court at
eight next day, the good dame arose early
and prepared breakfast by the light of a
tallow candle. The anglers were seated at
the table in a dark corner of the kitchen,
while the old lady was engaged over a siz-
zhng FRYING pan on the stove. How is

the manners of our society from those of

Public life is becoming rather less than
more attractive to those who have all but
power. The taste of art which is de-

all tastes except the taste for gambling,
and that is not on the decrease. The mil

which has thus sunk is about $50 feet and
the width l20 feet, and there is no telling

is just on the line of two principal rail
