A Monster Anvil.

Vulcan himself, with all the swart giants
who worked AT the God smithies under Et-
na, never owned such an anvil a. will be
in use in the new rolling mills at Wool
Wich. England For long time past the
engineers have been busy at the Royal
gun factories of the arsenal III constructing
this Titanic piece Of iron-mongery, and
they are nov deposlting m its place the
enormous plate which is t. form the bed VI
the anvil block This plate weighs of it,
self lO7 tons, and had tu be east uf neces-
sity in an open mold The surface which
is to receive the anvil block lay, therefore,
downward, and when, after many weeks.
the colossal casting grew cool, Il was need
full to turn the huge mass completely over
At the appointed time an army Of sturdy
smiths undertook this task with hydraulic
Jacks, and a combination of the strongest
tackle; before night they had lifted the
munstruus lump of solid metal twenty-five
feet square. and since then they have land
it on its bed upon the rex like structure
of concrete and piles made tu receive X.
The anvil block To- be mounted ON the huge
plate will weigh only trlfe short " two
hundred tons. and the steam hammer
which will strike upon 1t is made Df thirty
five tons Of solid metal, the blow at fun
force being. @. course, tremendous. In
fact, II IA rather doubtful what will happen
t. Woolwich and it, vicinity when the
mighty piece of mechanism gets u work
That the earth around will shake and the
air ruli with measured thunder seems
probable, for nothing like this stuPendous

A dispatch from New York, under
date of April lst, says:
In the Supreme Court to-day the
right to tax lands granted by a road
where that corporation has not OBJ
taIned a full title. which arose In a
case to which the Kansas Pacific wasa
party, was decided. The charter Of
this road requires the cost Of surveying
aud conveying the lands in question TO
be paid to the United States by the
road. or by tie party In interest before
the final pstent shall be issued, and
further directs all lands, not sold by
the railroad company within three
years TO be open for sale to bona hde
settlers at the minlnum price OF u 70
an acre, the money to be paid to the
United States by the railroad company.
The Supreme Court holds that the State
cannot tax such lands for Two reasons:
First. II 1t could tag them and sell
them for delinquency the United States
Governments right to receive the cost
Of the surveys aud conveyance before
