SILICON STEEL.-W Works for manu-
featuring this steel from iron ore have
been established at Rome, New York.
There is no doubt that the Mes process
will soon entirely supersede in this
country that Of Bessemer, the English
inventor, as the American steel is not
only cheaper, but finer aud more dura.
bic, both for railway purposes and for
tools, and the best cutlery. The fnan.
cial saving to our country from this
happy discovery viii be great. Steam
on our railways Is not only indispensa-
Bile, but it is tremendously expensive
by the attrition on the iron rails. This
is a great waste, which the patrons Of
those lines must make good out Of their
pockets.

The house win be kept in continual
turmoil when there is no liberation Of
each others feelings, no meek submis.
sion TO injuries, and no soft answer to
turn away wrath. If you lay single
stick Of wood on the CRATE, and apply
fire to ii, it will 90 out; put on another
stick, and they viii burn and a half
dozen and you viii have an effective
blaze. There are other fires subject
TO the same condition. If one member
Of family get into passion and is
leit alone he will cool down, aud posi-.
bly, be ashamed and repent. But oppose
temper to temper, let one harsh word be
followed by another, and there will soon
be blaze which will cnwrap them all in
its burning heat.

CovETousSEss,-Cbarity is a para.
dox to the coyetous. The doctrine that
teaches aims, and the person that needs
them, are by such equally set ut naught.
Tell miser Of bounty to a friend or
mercy to the poor, aud point out his
duty, with an evidence as bright aud
piercing as the light, yet he will not
understand it. He shuts his eyes as
close as his hands. In both cases there
is an ineurable blindness, caused by a
resolution not to see aud to all intents
and purposes, he who ioW not open his
eyes for the present is as blind as he
who cannot.

Upon every stream in Alaska that

vast quantities Of fossil ivory the low

HEAVY SUPPERs Supper should be
taken so as to allow sufficient time for
the food to digest before retiring. The
stomach should have rest at night, as
well us the other organs Of the body.
Heavy suppers distend the stomach,
impede the respiration, Cypress the
brain, cause disturbed sleep, horrid
dreams, nightmare, aud in many cases
sudden death. Shun heavy suppers.
This meal should consist mostly, of
toasted bread, water-biscuit, a small
quantity Of fresh butter with milk or
water for drink.

Manners, says the eloquent Edmund
Burke, are of more importance han
laws. Upon them, in great measure,
the law depends. The law can touch
US here and there, now and then.
Manners are what vex or soothe, exalt
or debase, BY constant steady uni
form, inseusible operation, like the air
we breathe. They give their whole
form and color to our lives. According
to their quality, they aid mortals; they
supply them, or they totally destroy
them.

AtmOSDherIc Poison.

The spring sun calls up something DE-
sides the flowers and grasses. II evolves
from the damp earth turbid rivers, stag
nant pools and black morasses, the gaseous
proyocatiyes of disease. From the offal and
garbage of unclean cities, too, 1t exhales an
ffiuyia destructive OF health and vigor.
Periodic fevers of various types are now
raging with unusual virulence In various
parts Of the country, and there are COM
plants from all quarters of a singularly un-
healthy spring. What is to be done in this
emergency The answer Is simple and to
the point. strengthen the body. Weak
ness predisposes the system to disease.
Commence at once a course OF the most
genial OF tonics, Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers. Be assured that the germs OF epidem-
ic and endemic fevers will never infect the
physique that has been fortified and regu-
lated with this glorious vegetable restora-
tive. "A moist atmosphere aggrayates dys.
pepsia, aud all diseases OF bilious type,
and The sudden thermomertcal changes
co nmon at this season, are severe trlal
even to strong constitutions There Is but one
way of conf batting these deleterious agen-
cies, and that Is by invigorating the body
and imparting healthy activity to.ail us
functions. The only specific required 1or
this purpose Is HoStetter's Btlteis. Of all
vegetable tonics and alternatives, 1t Is the
purest and the best. Its medicinal 1ngre.
dients include all the juices and extracts OF
the most approved tonic, anti.oiliouS ana
dom, and they are combined with stimu.
liant far superior in quality TO the alcohol
used in preparing the tinctures and extracts
of the regular pharmacop9ia.

A NUMBER of the leaders OF the Re-
publican party in Tennessee have issued
an address to the rank and file, setting
forth the reason why all true Repub-
licans should oppose the reelection OF
General GRANT. The failure OF his
administration to restore peace and
harmony to the country the reopening
of the old wounds between the North
and South and appeals to the sectional
prejudices Of the North to secure his
denomination; the enactment and en-
forcement OF arbitrary laws against the
insurrected States; the refusal OF general
amnesty; the sggressicns upon the
ballot.box and suspension OF the writ
of habeas corpus the nepotism OF the
President, and his use Of government
patronage for electioneering purposes
his undiguifed treatment Of the Senator'S
opposed to his policy; the military
character OF the government and the
corruption everywhere pervading the
administration OF public affairs are all
considered as cogent reasons why a
second term of service Of the present in
cumbent should be dispensed with.

the assault is doubled on them in the

One OF THE most judicious and sensi-
ble members of the Constitutional Con-
vention is BLACKWELL JACKSON, OF
Lewis county. He is careful and
watchful; and he believes the people
were in earnest in demanding, not only
reforms in the administration OF their
governmental affairs, but in the econo-
my of expenditures also. When the
question OF allowing each member of
the Legislature, by Constitutional pro-
vision, ten dollars for postage stamps,
was before the Convention, Mr..
JACKSON opposed it as unnecessary
and extravagant. He called the
attention OF the members Of the
Convention to the fact that they had
increased the number OF the members
OF the House OF Delegates; proposed to
increase their pay per diem by thirty
three per cent, and now we are called
upon to add still further to the
pay of this increased number Of
members the sum OF ten dollars
each, uuder a poor pretext. The
remarks OF Mr.. JACKSON in this con-
nection were characterized by modera-
ton, good sense, and firm desire 10
subserve the best interests OF the peo-
pie. The influence of his arguments
went far toward bringing about the re-
duction that was afterwards made in
the per diem allowance Of the members
to 50. We hope the new Constitution
will emphaticslly prohibit the Legisls-
ture from voting into the pockets Of its
members ten or any other number OF
dollars, for postage stamps or for any
other purpose whatever This subject
is commended to Mr.. JACKSON and other
strict economists in that body. 1t is
not enough that the Constitution shall
not authorize it, as We have seen here
torore; but it is necessary that that IN
strument shall, in 80 many words, pro-
hitit it, or this effort at economy will
be OF no avail.
