A Discovery.

Prof. Bar6, Professor of Chemistry at
the Royal Academy, has made a great
practical discovery, if We may trust the
Times of Tuesday last. He has discOv-
cred how to treat iron vessels so as to
render them wholly safe from the ten
dency to rust. so that boilers, if the iron
of which they are made had been thus
treated, would be safe against the cOrro-
sion caused by the water; and cooking
vessels would no longer need either to
be made of copper or furnished with
tin lining; while spades, and rails, and
iron keels and plates, and the locomO-
tiyes on our lines, and all the countless
iron instruments of our modern life
would be safe against the most destruc
tive of all the agencies which waste them
away. The process is to coat the iron
with the magnetic or black oxide of iron
which is not only incapable Of rust, but
harder than the iron itself, and which
adheres to the iron with tenacity great
er than that with which the various strata
of the iron adhere together. Prof. BART
subjects the iron to superheated steam
at a temperature of from 500 to l 200 de-
grees Fahrenheit, and, if the exposure is
continued for from five to seven hours
this coating will be fairly formed, and
if the latter temperature be secured twill
adhere SO closely that not even file
will scrape it off. Prof. Bart
left iron vessels thus treated ont on the
lawn for six weeks during the late rainy
weather, and when brought in they were
as bright as before their exposure. The
coating does not affect the surface, ex-
cept by turning it black. If the surface
were rough before, it will be rough still,
and if polished before it will be polished
still. Nor in case the magnetic oxide is
detached in parts will the rust which
then begins on the exposed iron spread
underneath the magnetic oxide. On the
contrary, the coat clings SO close that
though the rust will eat into the iron at
any exposed part, it will not extend lat
orally to the iron still coated by the
magnetic oxide.

Jewett fingered in great distress until .
quarter to O'Clock, when he died.

The Times furnishes the following ae-
count of how Mr.. Jewett met his death:
Orville Jewett, when last noticed by any
one, Mr.. TaintOr, was standing with his
hands under his cOat-tails, in front of
the CRATE fire. The wife of the janitor
said, yesterday, that when she and her
husband were startled by the first explo-
sion they sprang up from their breakfast
table and ran rapidly down stairs She
had got but half way down when she
heard four sharp reports in quick sue
cession, but attached no importance to
the circumstance until the finding of the
bullets and their connection with the
empty chambers of the small pistol were
pointed out to her. She also afterward
heard the small explosion spoken of
by assistant foreman Cook and sew
eral others as occurring; it must
have been nearly minute subsequent
the great one. Ii seems evident that
after throwing the grenade, and finding
himself comparatively uninjured, Or
vile, carrying out his precOn-
ceived plan for which he had amply pro-
vided himself, drew the small revolver
anu uischaiScu all lOuI DdiItiS AT HIS
breast. Three remained in him, and
the fourth went out through the right
hand pane of thick ground glass FORM
ing one of the panels of the hall door,
and buried itself to about the depth of
4 sixteenth of an inch in the soft wood
of the hall wall. Subsequently Orville
drew large revolver and put
the finishing touch to his ghast-
ly work. This theory is the
most probable one from every point Of
view. That Orville possessed the neces-
sary strength to accomplish the shooting
is proved by the fact that more than five
minutes after receiving his wounds he
was able to raise himself from the floor,
carry glass of brandy to his lips, and
swallow it unaided. His waistcoat, over
the points of the entrance of the bullets,
was set on fire, while his overcoat and
undercoat were unmarked, showing both
the elaboration and the closeness at
which the pistols were fired. The d.
rection of all the wounds wss such rs
might easily have been caused by HIM
self holding the pistols in his right hand;
and such also as to preclude the notion
that he was fred at by another person.

tire interior wall of the structure came
crumbiiug down with Il terrible crash THAT

columns from ten to twelve inches in diam

upon a brick wall going mp Ilum the ground
flour to the floor of the court room, The
walls were about thirty feet high, and it
appears were entirely inadequate to hold
the immense weight Of the iron pillars and
massive masonry Of The dome which rested
upon the piilaIs. Upon the top OF the iron
column were wrought iron giiders upon
which was LAID the veneer and brick of the

90 to % at work. Timothy Flanagan, who
WAS Just putting in the keystone of the

big derrick in front, but missing his aim
fell 100 feet to the earth and was dashed to

PETER IlEEDIC, President of and princi-

monopoly, has legal quarrel on hand
with the Lock Haven Boom Company.
Herdic's complaint is, that the latter, by
an Illegal process, catches and detains float

boom at Williamsport, aud he has asked
the Supreme Court to restrain the Lock
Haven people by an injunction from doing
SO, any more. The case was argued hefoie
the Court at Harrisburg last week, but no
decision has yet been rendered. 1t is to

YESTERDAY week was Governor Nichols
Thanksgiving day throug hout Louisiana for
the delvcIance of the State from its politi
cal troubles In New Orleans it was cele-
brated by church services, closing of bust
ness, and a military parade, a detachment
of United States troops participating in the
latter. 1t was refreshing spectacle to the
people of that city, who remembered that
two years ago the legislative hail of .he
State was invaded by the military and Il
number Of members of the House driven
from their seats at the point Of the bay onet.
Now that peace and order prevail, it was
eminently proper that ''grim-yisagcd war
should smooth his wIinkled 'front.' and
share with the people i'll their rcjoicings.
OF course Packard was highly diSplcased
at this popular demonstration, and at once
revealed his s'Iue inwaIduess'' in a dis
patel to his friend and adviser, Mr.. Blaine.
1t was doubtless very humiliatiug to Pack
ard TO see the men III blue whose presence

II tclegraphic reports do not msrepre-

apprehend some trouble with The Mormons
He is reported as having delivered very
iutiammatory address, on last Sunday
week, in the Tabernacle at Salt Lake, to
the saints and sinners, IL which he gave the
latter to understand that if they wanted
blood they could have plenty Of it, and, i'll
deed that they were likely to have more of
it !et out of their veins than they could we'll
spare. 1t : also said that the members of
the Nauvoo Legion are drilling in Salt
Lake city auC most of the small towns in
the teri itory. If all this is true. of which
We have some doubt, why does Young talk
in this bloody style, aud why is the famous
Nauvoo Legion drilling? 1t may be that
Brigham fears being arrested fuI his alleg-
ed connection with the iuhuman Mountain
Meadows massacre. But sc are not aware
that the government coutempla:es taking
any steps agaius; him. 1t is true that John
ID. Lee, the Mormon bishop, in his cOnres-

the latter has met Lees statement with an

THE sPEAKERsHIP.

1t is currently reported here by the
friends Of the opposing candidates for the
speakership of the next Hoase that Mr.
Tilden's influence is being strenuously ex-
erted in behalf of Mr.. Randall. Mr.. Ran
dali. however, is apt to make more friends
of himself than through any aid from Col.
Pelton, who is looked upon as the repre-
sentative Of Mr.. Tnden, or even from Mr.
TildeD. for as matters now stand the influ-
euce of the latter is not as potential as
formerly. Doubtless Mr.. Tilden's choice
is Sammy Randall, bEt there are so many
aspirauts for this position that at this lis
