Piitsburg, Pa, April ia new device
has been invented by Nicholas ID. Dale, Of
Sharpsburg, this county,to protect workmen
from the extreme heat of furnaces by means
of continuous current Of air which is trans
mitted by fan power through sheeliron
conductors which extends to within a few
inches OF the furnace door; where It connects
with sheetiron shield four or five inches
deep and somewhat larger in area
than the door. Ga the top of the
shield is an opening in which a two inch
pipe say one foot long, is inserted for the
heated cir to escape through. Directly over
this e,cspe is funnel of two feet connecting
with six inch pipe running through the
roofo the mil, permitting the heated air from
the shield to arise, ard which also is intended
to facilitate the drawing away of a part Of
the heat from around the furnace The
shield is to be removed at such time as the
door of the furnace is opened for use, when
the cold air supply Is temporarily cut Oft.
He has decided not To patent his invention.
The device has been tested here and found
to work sa.isfac orily.

SENATOR David Davis, OF Illinois, hs
written another letter of political charac.
ter to friend in Illinois. Senator Davis is
unlike distinguired gentleman of Texas,
who, in his lifetime, was one Of the most
honored citizens in the state, and whose gen.
Jus and abilities, beginning back in the days
of the republic, loft their impress upon the
destinies of Texas up to the day of his death
as a United States senator. We allude to j.
Pinckney Henderson, and always for good,
General Henderson, once giving advice to
to young. friend but boy then, who loved
and bonored him, and who reveres him mems
ory as a gentleman without guile, states
man in the fullest sense of the word, and as
lawyer whose learning and abilities shed
lustre upon the bar of the entire Country,
said to him that if ever he should enter po-
litical life to be ware of stationery. BE
also advised him to read once
every year of his life, the Bible, Shakespeare
and Robinson Crusoe advice that has been
followed, and the wisdom of which is UNDER
stood and appreciated now. But Senator
Davis does not beware of stationery. He is
always writing political letters, and what is
put down in black and white will live long
after the sentiments uttered are possibly for
gotten and repudisted, and may come up at
a time to stare one in the face when they are
least wanted. In this letter TO his Illinois
friend, Senator Davis declares that American
politics have become degraded into shame.
ful scramble for the spoils of Office, and cites
as evidence of this the facts that
the ssnste of the United States lie
now engaged in an unseemly struggle
for q few small places, and that
now, at the very outset of new adninistra-
tioa, The republican factions are arrsyed
s,sns. each other over the patronage. The
senator refers TO the growth Of monopolie
