A Learned Counsel,

Shortly after Iowa was admitted into
the Union, Congress organized the
United States District Court for the
State. The first appointees, both Judge
and District Attorney, were at the time
of the appointment remarkably limo
cent of the law the first being a re-
centimportstion from the Old Dominion,
who long since was called to appear be-
fore a higher tribunal, and the latter
one who has since become one of the
ablest and most successful practitioners
in the State.
Soon after the organization of the
court an old settler was indicted for
selling liquor to the Indians, and on his
trial, which took place on the Sth of
January, was defended by old Gil. F..
In summing up, old Gil.-who carries
the most sarcastic tongue in his head
that ever crossed the Father of Waters
repeatedly alluded to the District At.
torney as "my learned friend, the at.
torney for the government" and he
constituting the phrase as rejecting upon
his professional requirements, called old
Gil. to order several times, and finally
asked the court to protect him from
the insults of the counsel. Whereupor
the Judge Strengthened himself up anC
remarked that he didn't see any occa
sion for so much sarcasm.
But, your Honor" said the defend
ants counsel, 81 am not aware that
have used any sarcastic language toward
my learned friend, the attorney for the
government"
"There p broke out the Judge,
"that's just it. You are continually
ringing the changes on your learned
friend, and l see no occasion for it,
But, your Honor" said Gill, ~ dc
not mean to be sarcastic. When
speak of my learned friend, the attor
ney for the government, mean in sober
truth just what say" and opening the
statute organizing the court. he read
that "some person learned in the Law
shall be appointed Judge, and some
other person learned in the law shall be
appointed District Attorney"
so your Honor will perceive" he
continued, "that my learned friend
the attorney for the government, il
learned, not only in the sense in which
my brethren of the bar are learned, bu
he is made learned by express act 0
Congress"
The attorney for the government sub
sided, and the Judge settled SO ia
down in his seat that he disappeared
from sight, and old ellis client there
after sold whisky to the Indians with
out fear of prosecution before his ewes

Petroleum in the Manufacture of Iron.

Some time ago series of experiments
was instituted in St. Louis for the pur-
pose of testing the practicability of using
petroleum as fuel in the manufacture
of iron. These experiments have now
been continued for sever al months, and
the results are surprising, as they go to
show that the liquid fuel is not only
more economical than coal, but is far
better adapted for the conversion of ore
into superior qualities of iron. One of
the tests employed would seem to de-
monstrate conclusively the value of
petroleum heat in iron mills. A lot of
pig iron smelted with raw Illinois coal
in 1859 had been thrown aside as worth
less owing to the large abasement by
sulphur, and though frequent attempts
had been made from time to time to re-
duce this mixture to merchantable iron,
they had all resulted in failure. A mass
of this impracticable material, 1000
pounds in weight, was treated with
| petroleum heat, and in a single hours
| time was turned out in the shape of
iron of the finest quality, closely resem-
bling steel, perfectly free from sulphur
and all other impurities. 1t is claimed
that common Iron Mountain pig iron
can, by single application of the liquid
fuel in the pudding furnace, be made
into the best fiange boiler iron, equal to
the first quality of Sligo or Low Moor
iron. 1t is said that iron manufactured
by this process exhibits tensile
strength far greater than that of Low
Moor iron, as well as capacity to sus-
tain weight much above the average.
The experiments show that petroleum
is cheaper than coal in its use and
handling SO far as the heating of the
iron for the rolls is concerned, while the
saving in scrapping" gives it still
further economic advantage, actual trial
having shown a saving over coal by its
use of 933 pounds in the amount taken
out of scrapping furnace from a guam.
tity of 1850 pounds of iron, which was

Saved from a Dreadful Fate.

The New York Herald of the 18th
inst. says "SalIie Penn, Il years Of
age, employed in the bottles grinding
mill of Whitall, Tatum & Co., il Mill
vile, Cumberland county, New Jersey,
miraculously escaped an awful death
few days ego. While grinding some
jars one dropped into gutter. She
leaned over to recover it, and, in doing
SO, her long hair caught in the ma,
chinery betting and whipped her off her
feet. Instinctively she caught some
projection, and her heartrending
screams soon attracted Mr.. George
Woolford, the manager, to the spot In
an instant he saw her peril, cut off the
driving belt and reversed the machin-
cry. The girls life was saved, but the
injuries sustained are Of a dreadful
character. One quarter of her hair was
torn out by the roots and her scalp
raised one-quarter of an inch. But for
her own desperate efforts, and the
promptness of the manager, she would
have been ground to atoms.

Migration Of English SparrOws to
Maine.
From the Boston Traveller.

We understand that quite colony of
English sparrows has recently appeared
in Rockland, Me-, estimated at over a
hundred in number. They are believed
to have emigrated from Boston Com
mon. as that is the nearest point at
which any considerable number of these
birds are to be found. 1t is proable that
they may have been driven off by the
butcher birds or sparrow hawks which
made such an onslaught on these birds
last autumn. How the birds got to
Rockland is more than we know. They
may have followed along the coast, or
have taken passage on some of the
steamboats, or sailing packets which ply
on this coast. There are examples of
such emigration on record. Rockland
is about $50 miles from Boston.

ChignOnS.

Lady Burdett Coutts in an address to
some graduating "school marms" in
England, said that nothing could be
more distressing or more frig htful, than
the fashion which has transformed
women into denizens of some outlandish
country, rather than of civil and re-
fined society, and hopes they will strive
to check habit of wearing other peo-
ple's hair, or of not brushing their own"
This lady further says. that this habit
has generated and spread many infec.
tious disorders now 80 prevalent, and
which have hitherto baffled explana-

Horses Breaking Brides.

A correspondent of the Q,,eensZauder
says he cures horses of the habit of
pulling at the halter in this way: " My
plan to cure horse of bride breaking
is, to fasten or tie him up in place
where he cannot run back, with strong
leather head-collar mot halter), and
when the bride is upon him, turn him
round in the stall and fasten him upfor
an hour every day with reins fastened
to the stall posts and then buckled on
to his bit. This plan will be found a
cure, and a very gentle and not dis
agreeable operation for the horse

melted up. When it is considered that
these experiments have been made
under many disadvantages, with tenn
porary machinery, and hitherto untried
apparatus for the application of the
fuel, their great importance TO the iron
industry of the country will reedily be
apnreciated
