A Discovery.

Prof Barff, Professor of Chemistry at
the Royal Academy, has made Il 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 II
tin lining; while spades, and rails, and
iron keels and plates, and the locomO-
tives 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. Balff
subjects the iron to superheated steam
| at temperature of from 500 to / 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 it will
adhere 50 closely that not even file
will scrape it off. Prof. Bartf
left iron vessels thus treated out 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 elings 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. ,t.

Meat and Grain.

The revolution in the cattle and pro-
vision trade which is now upon us will
probably involve the following results:
l. The meat consumed in the North
Atlantic States will, in the not distant
future, be killed and dressed in Illinois,
Missouri, Kentucky, Texas and the
other great grazing States and Terrific
ries of the Union.
2. Our meat exports are destined to
become enormous; but the meat sent
abroad. as well as that sold on the At
lantic slope, will be killed and dressed
in the West, and will be forwarded by
refrigerator ears and refrigerator ships
to It's destination.
;. The whole business of selling, kill
ing and preparing beef and pork for
market will be transferred to the West,
and the occupation of cattle dealers,
pork and beef packers and commission
merchants in the Eastern and Middle
States will be reduced to minimum.
4. The value of grazing lands in the
West will be greatly enhanced, and To-
cal abottoires and packing houses will
be established on the lines of the princi-
pal railroads.
). What the East will lose in the
handling of cattle and the preparing anc
packing of meat, will be gained by the
| West in the enhanced value of lands anC
of cattle where they are grown.
| All these results are the consequences
of the extension of our railway system
The first effect Of the opening of TRUNK
roads is to concentrate business III tht
old centers of trade. But subsequent,
it leads to a dispersion of business ano
the opening up of new local markets
The grain trade will in the not distan
future be affected in the same way, ant
Western producers will decline to pa,
tribute to Chicago, St. Louis or Milwal
kee. Grain will be bought by the sea
board merchants at all the local center
for its disposal, and will be shipped di
rect to New York or the other seaboar
cities without stopping at any of the ol
centers Of grain traffic. In time, doubt
less, the English merchants will, by tn
aid of the telegraph, buy the grain them
selves directly from the smaller grana
ries throughout the country, and have
shipped through from the West to Ell
rope. 1t is evident that the next decad
will see an important change in on
methods of marketing meal and grain
but every thing seems to point to a larg
increase of the business of the West an
the growth of local manufactures at tn
expense of those of the Eastern and Mic
die States Graphic.

BOnner's Horses.

Mr.. Robert Bonner of the New York
Ledger, so widely known from his fond
ness for trotting horses, and the high
prices he has paid for remarkable in
stances of speed, has Just published a
Catalogue of the stud at his farm near
Tarrvtown and stable in New York. 1t
enumerates 100 head-l7 fillies, four
wears old or under, 43 mares, breeding
or in training, % geldings, y colts,
mostly yearlings or two-year olds, and
the FIVE stations, Edward Everett, Star
tie, Prince Imperial, Uncle Sim and
Dexter Duroc. OF these, says the pre-
face, none are offered for sale, and sales
will only be made when the natural in
crease exceeds the limits of the owners
accommodations. The catalogue is
therefore printed merely for convenience
and the information Of personal friends.
1t includes Dexter and three full sisters
to him; son and daughter of Flora
Temple; the three famous mares, Peer
less, Lady Palmer and Flatbush M"id j.;
Pocah0ntas, mare for which Mr.. Bon
ner paid higher price than for Dexter

Molscy, Music, and many others which
have shown almost unprecedented speed
in public or private trials. Something

been cobbing him.

A Marksman's Difficult Feat.

A few hundred men met in Gilmore's
Garden on Friday evening to watch Capt.
Bogardus's attempt to shoot ! 900 balls
by means of a double-barreled shotgun
in 100 minutes. The feat was success
fully performed in II minutes and 40
seconds, Capt. Bogardus missing 2S
shots. A semi-circle of tables, with a
shooters position at the middle, two
traps, 1G yards distant from the marks
man and 10 yards apart, with two large
piles of hollow glass balls and two men
to place them in the traps, together with
a large white screen to catch the shot
and fragments of glass, formed the seat
of war. Capt. Bogardus had two sets of
barrels, which he quickly alternated as
| thep became too hot for use. His car
| tridges, of which he had liberal supply,
| were within easy reach of his hand in Il
large case. In shooting he followed his
own rule of raising the gun to his shoul-
traps. The two discharges were almost
simultaneous, and the glass balls be-
meath his perfect aim were shattered in
rapid succession. 1t was claimed that
| the charges were restricted to ) IL
drains OF powder and the shot 10 Il
ounce.
| Shortly after So'clock Capt. Bogardus
took his station in his shirt-sleeves. The
first two balls rose in the air, and two
misses We're recorded. Then followed
SO hits, the first 100 shots ending in
minutes Gun-barrels were changed,
and the second 100 began. Ninety-seven
hits were made. and } misses, and Z 1-2
more minutes consumed. Thus the
firing continued, the Captain averaging
3 misses in 100 balls 500 hits were
reached in 80 minutes. The thousandth
ball was sprung after 76 minutes, the
last hundred shots having been made
without single miss. The Captain was
then % balls behind his score, and that
number of supplementary balls was
sprung, and all of them shattered. The
last 155 shots, counting these supple
: mentaly ones, were made without miss

A Romance OF Egypt.

Ismail Pasha, late the Egyptian Fin
ance Minister, was Il remarkable man.
Originally one of the lowest grooms in
the stables of the Khedive of Chosbra,
his first step on the ladder of fortune
was gained by marriage with a liberated
slave from the harcm, who speedily in
itiated him in all the mysteries of that
institution, and showed him how, by an
artful use of harem influence, a clever
man might raise himself to almost any
Gninence in the State. Ismail proiitcd
bv his wife's advice. cultivated the harem
through her, and found himself eventu-
ally the most powerful subject IN the
Kingdom. He amassed an enormous
fortune, and his expenditure was lavish
ed beyond even Oriental extravaganza.
His harem was one of the largest and
most celebrated in the East. 1t consist
ed of 800 women, all young and beauti-
ful-for Ismail would have no women in
his harem over the age of 30-and two
corps dc ballet, one of French, the other
of Hindu girls. Every night he was
conducted to his chamber by twenty
young girls, clothed in magnificent and
fantastic attire, blazing with gold and
Jewels, each carrying in her hand a gild-
ed taper-stick, and each taper giving out
a different colored light. Immediately
after his death his harem was bought up
by the rich Beys and Pashas, and fabu,
lous prices were said to have been paid
for some of the beauties. His jewels
were computed to be worth S3,25o,0O0
and, as every thing is forfeited to tho
| Khedive, that astute ruler will make {
good thing out of the death of hi
| Finance Minister.
