The Day Mineral Point did not
Celebra te.

The national holiday was shame
fully ignored in Mineral Point, while
the observance at the villages, towns
aud school districts throughout the
county was general and marked.
The day in this city was similar to
what a Sabbath might be with q
vacation of Sunday schools. The
children were the only patriots to be
noticed, No music; nothing. Not
even the stars and stripes noated
at the pole of liberty. Such neg
ligence in observing the birth day
of Americas independence is u
crowning shame upon our people.
They are too tight to meet prosper
ity. Tickle their hand for more
than nicllle toward any public pur-
pose and it fairly sticketh with
stinginess. Exceptions of course
prevail in all cases, and in this
the generous citizen has to suffer
censure by means of sleepy, in-
different majority. Many, although
too late for 1879. have awoke to
a sense of duty and national honor.
Experience ia good instructor. This
city could and ought to be the
center of attraction for the people
of the entire county, instead of some
little district school yard, and n
glaring and glorious report of the
people of Mineral Point participat-
ing in successful celebration year
hence is anticipated.

very active week for Belmont.

to be the best ever delivered in this
! place. Ice cream and strawberries
were served at the Town Hall, after
the Installation, ito over one hundred
invited guests. The Odd boys did
all the dishing without any assist
ance from the ladies, who looked
amusingly on and wore the express
sion of desire to give assistance, but
the boys objected, and they were
compelled 10 content themselves
with eating cream and berries and
hitch on to enjoyment the best they
could
Wednesday the marshal had to
escort man into the cooler for
keeping too much noise on the
street, but not before the marshal's
shirt was torn clean off his back.
After two hours imprisonment the
fellow was let out by paying dam
ages, and he went his way.
July tt5, the day we celebrate was
duly observed in Belmont. 4 joint
procession Of the Sunday school and
Temperance Alliance was formed
and they marched to the public
square, where Rev. IIowarth, Of this
place, addressed the people. The
baskets were then brought forward
and their contents spread out in pic

performance was by a young man
named Huchcrolt, who covered the

attendance was ut large by any

a bad effect. On hearing the re-

Krupp's Process for Pig Iron

Por ssor Wedding, in q paper con-
tribntd to the Verdhandlungen d. Yer.
z. Befordg d. Gewerbf, gives some data
on the practical working of Krupps, or
rather Narjes' process foi dephosphoriz-
ing pig iron. The originator of the pro-
cess is Mr.. Naries, an engineer connect
ed with Herr Krupp's work at Essen,
whe on the 18th aud nth Of March, 1877,
worked the first heat on large scale,
four tons of pig, holding OF per. cent. Of
phosphorus, being reduced to metal run
alng O134 per cent, while the percentage
of carbon sunk only from $40 to 3.O3 per
cent. A patent was applied for and
granted on the Sd Of July, while Bells
provisional specification was drawn up
on the 11th Of April. NaJes' process
consists in dephosph0rizing and refining
the pig, without affecting the carbon
percentage materially, by oxides Of iron
and manganese partly used as fettlng
and partly by additions. The practice at
Essen is said to be simple. The pig Is
melted In q thirteen-foot cupola with
coke in one hour and half, and then
tapped into q furnace similar to the
Pernot, heated by the regenerative sys-
tenn. The flat hearth Is covered with q
layer of almost one foot Of iron ore melt.
ed at very high Temperature. Before
every heat frem ], 800 to 1,70O pounds Of
ore, also heated until sintersd ARE added.
Another point which has not yet been
settled Is whether it. will be possible by
adding silicious pig to fit the refined
metal for the Bessemer process, for
which, rs at present constituted, 1t Is not
suitable, as the dephOsphorizing process
eliminates the silicon simultaneously.

ANEW USE FOR TIE TELEPHONE

There was a very interesting oscur-
renee in connection with the service in
the First Presbyterian Church on Sun
d ~ morning last. A telephone had
been placed on the pulpit and cOnnec-
ton made with the room of an invalid
lady, at the corner of Eighth and Mar
ket streets, who had not been able to at
tend church within the past two years.
The experiment proved q success in
every porticular. The lady distinctly
heard the notes of the organ at the COM
mencement of the services; heard and
distinguished the number of the hymn as
it was given out, and turned to it in her
own book; followed the Rev. DIR. Wilson
through all the preliminary services;
heard, with wonderful distinctness, the
singing by the choir; could distinguish
the different voices and knew as well
who was singing as If she had been press
ent In church; caught every word OF the
sermon as 1t was delivered from the Ba-
cred desk; could tell when the minister
would address his remarks to the cOngre-
CATION on one sid0 of the church or the
other; heard the opening and closing
prayer, and became SO wrapped up ID
the former that, hearing door shutter
slamming In q distant part of the house,
she whispered to one of the children
very cautiously, imagining she was in
the presence of the speaker, and asked
that the offending shutter should be
closed. All the services, including the
benediction aud the "Amen," at the
close, were heard with great distinctness
and enjoyed with anintensity of pleasure
which could hardly have been surpassed
by an actual presence IN the sanctuary.
When the services were ended . very
interesting conversation was carried on
between the lady snd her friends who
were present in the church. Wilmington n
