SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

N. j.. JAMIN shows in the Compile,
Rendus that bundle of steel plates will
always be stronger than Q single bar Of
steel Of the dimensions, and the proper.
ton will increase indefinitely with the
number of plates. This fact Justifies the
use Of slender lamin@ IN the construction
of magnets a
The injection OF amonia into the veina
as remedy for snake-bites has been
frequently tried during the past year in
Australia, and has been found to be most
Successful. The treatment is known as
sDr. Haliord's remedy,n aud has recent
ly been a subject of inquiry on the part
of special commission in India, where
the results were tar less certainly favor
able than in Austria
ACCUSTOMED as may be the jewellers
in large cities to the constant rumble of
vehicles over the stones IN the streets, it
is pretty certain that such disturbances
are not without their consequences on
the nervous centres. M. Fonssagrives
asserts that he cannot consider such per.
petual vibrations as harmless even for
those born and bred in cities. and that it
is very assuredly a genuine cause oil
eristhisme, and that to it may be ascrib-
ed that prevalence of nervous tempera-
ments and diseases peculiar to the inhab-
itants OF large cities.
In the use of air and water it is not a
question of the slight presence of impuri-
ties which has to be considered, but the
constant presence of such deleterious
substances. Sulphuretted hydrogen in
notable quantity in the air, if breathed
for an hour, may not do much harm, but
even smaller proportion, when we live
and sleep in it. has most unfortunate
effect on the human economy. There can
BIZ no doubt but that anything like one
part of sulphuretted hydrogen or sui
phurous acid in 100000 parts of air
would constitute a most important at
mospheric impurity.
The great benefit to be derived from
the use of phosphor. bronze, as substi-
tute for both steel and iron, has led to
further researches in the compounds Of
copper. English technical journals are
loud IN their praises of new substance
called manganese bronze, which can be
used to great advantage. 1t seems TO
have great strength, the power of re-
sisting shock, and to be remarkably
ductile. When broken, its structure is
close and uniform, resembling steel.
One most valuable property is the facil-
ity with which it can BE forged at rcd
heat, the operation apparently increas.
ing the strength, density, and toughness
of the manganese bronze.

From the Chicago journal.
There are three classes of women
among the wives Of our public men. Mrs.
Belknap, with her barbaric love OF dis
play, is a specimen of the demoralizlng
class. She stood amid a multitude, and
in her fall they have received rebuke and
warning. The lesson taught them
has been pointed out often enough with
in few days, and is so very Impressive
that it can hardy fail to be learned by
some of those whom it most concerns.
Another class enter into the labors and
thoughts of their husbands with enthusi-
asm. Mrs. John Adams stands at the
head OF the line. She was every way the
equal of her husband; his helpmeet In
public affairs. Mrs. William II. Seward
was another. For them the fripperies OF
society could have no charms, and the
matters of State, without any interference
with domestic duties, engaged their at
tention. 1t is only just TO add that Mrs.
John A. Logan belongs to this class.
Still another class is composed of those
who, without concerning themselves with
political matters, devote their spare time
to deeds of charity. Washington has just
lost by death most worthy lady of that
type, Mrs. VIM. A. Wheeler. During
the first two years of the war her husband
was, as he is now, member Of Congress
from Northern New York. Possessed OF
ample means to join in the gayeties of
the city at the Capital-young, beautiful
and accomplished-she turned away from
all that and devoted herself to the care of
sick soldiers. In good works she was un-
wearied. Returning to Washington at
ter An absence of six years she found no
demand upon her patriotism; but the
calls of philanthropy are unremittent,
and to them she was obedient. Quietly
the stream OF her life flowed on. Her
name never figured IN the newspapers
The Jenkinses Of the press paid no heed
to her actions, and even now that she Is
dead the parading of her name before the
public is only justified in defense OF
Washington lie from the reprosch to
which it has been exposed within few
DAYS. The nation which has such class
at its Capital, even if it is small, is very
far from the decay which presages de
struction.

A SONG OF SPRING..

A gentle step is on the withered leaves.
Where wind.swept boughs and moisten.
ed moses lie;
At the soft tread the sleeping floweret
breathes,
Raises Itself to see who passes by,
Trusting aside the matted vines that
ing,
While small birds chirp apd MARBLE, 1T is
Spring."
AdOwn the fields she passes; as she goes,
Over the trees imploring arms so bare,
A soft green mantle now she kindly
throws,
That shakes its scented tassels in the air;
No more like sleeted warriors clad in
mail
Their green plumes nod her glad approach
TO hail.
The grass thrusts up its fingers by the
way.
To tell the city of her coming life;
While through the hills the small brooks
laugh and play,
Bidding the MOSES, as they dance along,
New.clothe themselves and listen to their
song.
How many times, o gentle Spring, declare,
Hast thou awaked the sleeping Earth
from dreams?
Placed fragrant, FLOWERS in her tangled hair
And bathed her forehead from fresh rip
pling streams?
And when our feet no more these paths
shall tread,
Still will thy songs be sung? thy bright
blooms spread?

Editors of the Register:
Having seen nothing in your paper
from our vicinity, we thought few
words would be acceptable from rs. The
people in our neighborhood are perpet-
ual readers of the REGISTER. They look
forward to the day of its coming each
week with that degree of fondness which
characterises true friendship. Our fellow
cit zens consider silent worker better
than noisy talker, and therefore send
nothing to the press. we admit TINS 10
be good logic in many instances, but
some must talk and write, otherwise the
people would starve for something fresh
to read. We aave noticed all your paper
contained about Belknap, Babcock, &c.
We are glad aud sorry, too; sorry they
are such thieves, nut glad they have been
found out; and want 'em to have nail

are little backward, owing TO the fact
that their turn only comes once in four

as the engagement is made the old folks
oppose o match, raise United States

From "Kins and Commonwealth.
Although villeinage had long died out
in ENGLAND. and had been suppressed
even in the western counties before the
latter part OF Elizabeth's reign (l574h
the condition of the hired laborer was
such that, from a modern point of view,
he could not fairly be called free man.
HIS employers, and land owners, passed
laws which kept him state OF half-oond,

by the justices os the peace according 10

at the rate of wages offered, or went out
of his county IN search of higher wages

and vagabond. The laws against such
were exceedingly severe. ANY person
for the first time found "wandering or

Its effects sac as wonderful and
as satisfactory as ever.
1t restores gray or faded hair to
its youthful color.
1t removes all eruptions, itching
and dandruff. 1t gives the head a
cooling, soothing sensation Of great
comfort, and the scalp by its use
becomes white and clean.
By its tonic properties it restores
the capillary glands to their normal
vigor, preventing badness, and
making the hair grow thick and
strong.
