The Metal Industries of Ancient Egyp.

A correspondent Of Iron gives some in
teresting facts regarding the metallurgical
knowledge Of the inhabitants of the Pha-
raohs. Iron Is believed TO have gradually
superseded copper in the manufacture of
the implements with which the great mon
uments were carved and hewn from the
stone The minuteness and finish with
which the hieroglyphics are sculptured on
obelsk and similar structures may also be
considered AS strong arguments that the
workmen possessed steel chisels, quite as
freely tempered as any we at present can
manufacture.
The skill Of the fIst smelters was evi-
IDENTIFY not great, much more care being
bestowed upon working the metal obtained
than upon gaming fair product from the
ores. If the ancient mines of gold and
silver can be found, the debris, worked
over, would doubtless yield rich harvest.
Old turquoise mines have been already dis
covered, and it is stated that large num-
bers of very fine stones have been extract
ed and sent to Europe. In the same To-
caliiy system Of Qualifications has been
traced out, by which the Pharaohs pro
tected their works and workmen, and,
what is still more wonderful, the remains
of vast iron works have been found of
such magnitude, that many thousand peo-
pie must have been employed upon them,
unless the plant used was on as grand
scale as the largest English furnaces
These works were commenced in very early
times; each Pharaoh, as he continued
them, added large engraved stone to in
dictate the labor completed. 1t is believed
that the hieroglyphics on these monuments
are still legible, and from them much val
liable historical information may be
glesned.

A YOUNG man from BIlltown dined at
the Fraser House, Oswego, the other day,
and as the walters were taking orders, he
heard his next neighbour order roast beef
rare. When his turn came he also said
roast beef rare. In due time it came
very rare. Looking at it a moment he
said, Here, waiter, want mine cooked. :"

SECRETARY OF STArE.-Candidates for
Secretary of State are becoming numer-
GUS The last name mentioned in con,
nection with the Office, that we have seen,
is that of A. j. Langworthy, of Milwau-
kec. 1t is not our privilege to have any
acquanta with MIR. L., but we hear
good reports of him, principally for hon-
esty, and efficiency as an agent for dis
tributing aid to the northern fire sufferers.
The fact that he was once elected sher.
if of Milwaukee county, where the
Democratic majority was 1000, is add
vanced as on argument in favor of his
nomination. If there is to be generally
"a new deaf for the Offices, let all having
claims present them for the secretary
ship amt Other positions, but it the Gov
ernor, Treasurer and School Superin>
tendent are to be re-nominated, the dis
placing of the present ELI ;ient Secretary
would be regarded by many as an unj ust
discrimination If Mr. Breese is to be
set aside, why not also MIR. Baetz and
Mr. Fallows, who, like the Secretary, are
now serving their second terms.

The only witnesses produced for the de-

evidence amounted to nothing in favor Of
the prisoners, but was simply Il recital OF
what the klamath Lake Indians had
done and told them (the Modocsl since
this trouble commenced. The only tes-
1mony produced by the prosecution,

The loss of the steamship Atlantic W; Q

The loss of the steamship Atlantic W; Q
In great measure due to the criminal
careiessness OF its commander. The
same can he said in the case of he City
OF Washington, stranded on the Nova
Scotia coast "a few days ago. According
to the statement of a passenger on the
latter vessel, its Captain was repeatedly
urged 10y "a scaiaring gentleman on toard
to run hundred miles to the southwark
Under ordinary circumstances the Cap.
tain OF vessel is not expected to accept
advice from his passengers. but, in this
case, everything was uncertainty-no-
body knew where the vessel was, and
having been warned number of times
shat his course was too far to the north
ward, the officer in command should
have sought advice frol all who were
capable OF giving it, instead Of rejecting
what was voluntarily rendered TO have
run more to the southwark would have
been UNNECESSARILY safer, and no reason
able objection could have been urged
against doing so. 1t also trans pires that
the fated vessel was making twelve or
thirteen knots an hour at the time of the
disaster, instead Of nine knots, as mt frs
reported. If all our ocean steamship
lines are intrusting their vessels and the
lives OF their passengers to such heed
less, reckless and incompetent oibcers as
the Captains Of the Atlantic and City of
Washington, the public would like to
know it, and good chance will be af>
toried some new rival companies for
commencing business.

TEE question Of "who shall eucceed
the late Chief Justice Chase" is again
being asitated in the papers. Among
the names from which it is said the Pres
ident is likely to make a selection, is
prominently mentioned that of L. o.
Rowe, of this State. Laying aside all
state pride, we should still claim that no
man in the nation is likely to. better grace
the position or perform the Duties more
acceptably than Senator Howe lis ed
ucaton, integrity, and nature are such
rs to tit him more for the judiciary than
any other branch Of the government.
Few men possess so many valuable oual>
I6cations for the position, and we doubt
it any ID the nation possess superior Quail
;iications for the supreme branch. All
our state exchanges warmly advocate
his appointment The Green Bay CO.
zette of last week has a lengthy and able
article on the subject.

These hgures show that majority OF
the Republican Congressman opposed
the measure, though in the Senate it
had majority of one Republican vote.
On the other hand majority Of Demo
Gratis in both Houses in tho Senate
and | | in the IIouse-yoted for it. This
settles the question of party responsible
ity. So far as the Democratic party,
represented in Congress, is concerned, it
stands pledged in favor of the measure !;
while SO far as the Republican party,
through the whole body Of it's represent
atives in Congress, is concerned, it
stands opposed to the measure. 1t only
remains to be seen whether the Republi-
can party Of the nation will sustain the
eighty-two Republican Congressman who
voted against the increase Of pay, or the
seventy-iour who voted for it. The Re-
publican conventions of Ohio, Maine and
Iowa have already put themselves de-
cisively on record against the minority
Of seventy -four, and in favor Of the ma
jori.y Of eighty~two.
No political party can justly be subs
jected to the odium Of the acts Of any of
its representatives until 1t has had an OPP
rortunity to review. Otherwise, through
the unauthorized acts of individuals, q
party may be placed in a false position
before the country, and indeed, may be
led away from all the fundamental doc
trines laid down in its platforms. AS
we have said before the increase Of SAL
airy bill cannot properly be charged to
either party, but must rest upon the
shoulders of the individuals who voted
for it. But, if upon either, then it un-
questionabiy rests upon the Democratic
party, for the figures given above show
that majority Of the Republicans of
both houses voted against, while a
majority of the Democrats in both houses
voted for the measure. Here, then,
the matter rests until the two party
organizations shall have passed upon the
question. Both parties will doubtless
take into account the fact that there is
an authority Of final resort-the people
from which there is no appeal, and
will construct their platforms with a
view to the verdict Of this last tribunal
