How they Drop Shot.

4 A reporter Of Baltimore thus de
scribes one of the many processes
for making shot in one of the
shot towers of that city q"
/ One of the secrets of the manu
facture. is,the mixing of. the leat
with a certain proportion of a com
bination Of mineral substances call.
ed temper. The temper is fused
with the lead, and given the mol.
ton metal the consistency which
makes it drop, and without which
the lead would be moulded by the
seive, and would form little pen
ellis instead of round shot, When
'B b shot, for instance, are to be
made, the lead is poured into pan
perforatep with holes correspond
ing to that size.
The little pellets come pouring
in a continuous shower, and fall
into a.tank filled with water Oh
the ground floor. In their decent
of two hundred feet they become
| perfect spheres, firm and dense,
and they are tolerably cool when
they strike the water, although
the swift conclusions make the
tank foam and bubble as if the wa
ter was boiling furiously. The
shot must fall in the water, for if
they would strike any firm SUBJ
stance would be fiattened and
knocked out of shape. To get the
little pellets perfectly dry after
they have been in the well is the
most difficult and troublesome pro-
cess Of the whole manufacture.
An elevator with small buckets,
very much like those used in flour
mills carries the shot up as fast as
they reach the bottom of the wei!
and deposit them In box sixty
feet above the first floor. The wa
ter drips from the bucket as they
go up, and not much is poured in
the receiver above, although it is
intended to be sort of dripping
pan, which greatly resembles a
giants shoe, made of sheet-iron.
The pan rests at an angle, which
permits the wet shot to roll slowly
down to the chamber below, and
the pellets become perfectly dry as
they pass over the sheet-iron.

Observation-Disclosures Oftlae
Reyiyaiists i'm Engla nd.

Every mail that crosses the At
lantic brings fresh proofs of the
wonderful effects produced by the
labors of these evangelists AT first
but little notice was taken of them
by the secular press, but so Intense
is the interest manifested in their
work that even the London Times
as we learn from a late cable dis
patch, has reviewed their work
faverably.
The subjoined editorial from the
London Daily Telegraph presents
the case in a manner that cannot
fail to interest our readers:
People in the metropolis will
soon Judge for themselves how far
the provinces have been justified
in their emotion at the revivalists
from across the Atlantic. 1t takes
a great deal to move LondOner
in any such manner, and many
here will abruptly dispose of the
whole business by the familiar
phrase religious hysteria. This
success, however, appears rather
too complex, and we may add,so-
cially useful to be explained so ca
silly by the phrases mad-doctors,
materialists or cynics. Wherever
those people come they seem to eff
feet at once that which archbish-
ops and rural deans and curates
from the universities cannot do q;
they convince people Of sin y
they wake hundreds of thousands
of hearts to the consideration OF
A" righteousness, temperance and
Judgment to come" Unless, then,
we are to call all religious feeling
hysteria aud mania, unless st. Paul
preaching on Mars Hill and DR..
Vaughn in the Temple are equally
appealing to the eKcitable nervous
systems of automata, we cannot
clearly see why the churches
should be seandalized at the work
done by the two revivalists. No
doubt it depends upon the faculty
which large bodies of men and Wo-
men exhibit to thrill with a COM
mon emotion which reacts uoon
the individual, and produces re-
markable elevations Of character.
But if the orator, the general, the
stage-player, the musician and the
advocate wOrk-as they all do
with this magnetic influence oil
sympathy, why should those be
charlatans who employ it to raise
and quicken the spiritual side Of
life to which it belongs? We can
not find reasonable answer to this
in the sIipshod explanations given
of such religious movements by
people who call themselves scien'
tific, and yet leave the region o.
the emotions and aspirations o.
man out of their anthrapology. II
rather seems to us that when Moo
dy and Shankey come to London,
the dignitaries and ministers of al
the chhurches would do well to &c
and see what amazing things real

Court has rendered an important
decision in respect to claims for
lobby services. The action was to
recover for services rendered in
procuring action by Congress on a
claim for compensation Tor the ne

claims for lobby service are not
founded in good morals, and can
not be maintained in the courts.

Governor Allen, according to the
Republican journals, INDUCES in
profanity to that extent that it
passes out under, the door of his
room in a blue fog whenever he
becomes excited. The Hon, B. F.
Wade has always had the reputa-
ton of being an expert in the same
way, and Mr.. John Robinson, the
circus man, whom the Republi-
cans have nominated for Mayor of
Cincinnati, Is said to use express
sions that would knock the bark

The New York, Times cautions
people against donning spring
clothing too soon, aud urges them
to be proof against the seductions
of mllliners, dress makers and
clethiers. This is good advice:
The pressure brought to bear
upon all who have money to spe nd
for new outfits will be so strong,
that it may result in endangering
the lives OF thousands of persons,
unless they are well advised be-
fore hand. Those who have suf--
fered and are still suffering from
throat and lung affections will
scarcely need to be told of the folly
of throwing off heavy shoes, and
flannel undertaking. after expor-
fencing few days of the oppres-
sively warm weather which usual
iy marks the beginning of spring;
for it may be presumed that they
have learned wisdom. But the case
is altogether different with those
who have had the good luck to pre-
serve good health throughout. I'm
less they are forewarned, they may
be expected to disincumber them
selves of overcoats, heavy under
clothing, and heavy shoes as soon
as they begin to feel iu the least
oppressed by the weightof them.
1t is never wise to make changes
of this character, no matter how
winner may have preceded a
spring. The body should be ac-
customed to the altered conditions
by a gradual process. Numerous
deaths occur every year from dis
eases contracted through lack of
prudence in the matter of cloth
