WILL MELTED IRON BURN THE NAKED
HAND!

We print to-day an article from the
Engineering Journal upon the effect of
molten iron and other metals upon the
human body. Will the workmen in our
furnaces and rolling mills tell us their ex-
perience? -...
At Ayers great works in Boston, we
remember to have seen workman plunge
his arm previously rubbed vigorously with
towel into tub of molten iron just
drawn from the cupola, and slowly with
draw it. He did it repeatedly without
pain in the presence of forty persons.
Who will try it first here? According
to our article it can be done with perfect
IMMUNITY by any one. This is nothing
new, of course, as it has been long known
to scientists, but we would like to know if
any body has faith enough in science here
to take wash in molten iron. ~

LOBBYING.

The bill now before the Legislature, to
prevent lobbying, may be made very sen
sible and timely one, or one, on the con-
trary, that shall operate very unfavorably
upon the future legislation of the State.
The definition usually given to the term
"lobby' is not very clear or well defined
by our photographers. 1t includes those
who may approach any member of the
Legislature for the purpose of influencing
measures before that body. Now, it is well
known that in very large class of cases
coming before the General Assembly, the
members are dependent for the information
and assistance they may require, upon
those constituting the lobby" so-called.
All this is perfectly proper and legitimate.
What the law should punish, is the attempt
to tamper with any member Of the Legis-
lature by the use of money or any other
corrupting or bargaining means, and it
should effectually provide also for the pun
ishment of any member yielding to such
temptation, or in any way receiving OF ae-
cepting pecuniary or other bride. The
law should strictly define the ohense, and
make it punishable accordingly. -

The New York papers are filed with
the details of the late Erie fight, in which
General Sickles, employed as the English
bondholders' agent, took a leading part,
resulting in a grand coup d etat upon the
late Erie management. General John A.
Dix has been elected President of the road,
and General Mcclellan superintendent
The new directory have made their attack
on the Grand Opera House, and with the
aid of the police, carried everything by
storm. The overthrow Of the Jay Gould
management is complete, and the new Off
GERS appointed give assurance that hereafter
the road will be in the hands of those who
may give some attention to the interests of
the general bondholder.

In the case of William Foster, the car

In the case Of William Foster, the car
hook murderer of Mr.. A. d. Putnam, in
New York city, there has been another
stay of proceedings granted, on the ground
that the nature of his offense was not duly
considered at the time the death penalty
was fixed. The ground taken by Fosters
counsel was, that the intention of the pris-
oner was not to kill Putnam, but only to
"lay him out" so that he would not here
after interfere to protect ladies under his
charge against such attentions as this
drunken rowdy saw fit to show them. The
case is most remarkable one as it stands,
for if there was ever villain that deserved
hanging, William Foster is the man.

INDUSTRIALS SCHOOLS.

An important educational movement is
on foot in Massachusetts, looking to the es-
Enlistment of Industrial Schools through
out that Commonwealth. The Legislature
has passed law authorizing cities and
towns to raise funds'for the purpose of es-
tablishing such schools, to be under the SUI
pervision of the regular school COM
mittees, who are to employ teachers and
prescribe the arts, trades and oc-
equations to be taught. Industrial edu-
cation is defined by the law to consist
in imparting knowledge of drawing, de-
signing and moulding, of the use of tools
and machinery, and of the art of cutting
and making clothing, and of the use of the
needle. Industrial schools are now in sue
cessful operation in Europe, and especially
in Germany, where children and youth,
for five hours a day, attend educational in
situations similar to our public schools,
and, in addition, are required to spend two
or three hours in practical schools, where
a thorough knowledge is impaired of draw
ing, designing, modelling, spinning, weav-
ing, dyeing, mixing of colors and of the
use of machinery generally.

The Best july Inrestnaent.

a large amount OF money, in the az.
gregate, is discussed in July in the shape
ct interest upon Government and other
bonds. and dividends upon stock The
question, what is the best disposition TO
make OF this acquisition to ones means,
Is OF Importance. During midsummer
money rules easy" according to the
phraze OF iinanciers. That is it is plenty
and the rate OF interest upon loans is
very low. To invest this surplus in the
purchase ol Government bonds is not
profitable, because they are SO high that
they pay only from IL to 5 per cent.
upon the investment. Next TO Govern
men, bonds tor safety. and far exceeding
them lOr profit, are first class railroad
bonds. Among those whose security has
been well established are the First Mort
gage per cent. gold bonds of The Chica,
20, Danville and Nincenues Railroad,
running in an air line from the great In
diana coal fields to Chicago.
This road is not an experiment. Ii has
been in successful operation since Janu-
ary last, and instead of estimating the
probable future business of the road, the
officers simply give the figures showing
that it is actually earning, week by week,
large excess over its interest liability.
Such bond must be good, and, being
sold at 90 and accrued interest, tits high.
ly profitable as well The loan is being
rapidly sold. and those wishing to parlic
ipate in its advantages, will do well to
make early application 10 the authorized
agents who are advertised in another
part of this paper
