Welding Nickel With Iron.

The great value of nickel as a COATING
for iron has led to experiments to see #
It could be applied to the surface of
sheet and wire iron by some mechanical
means, in place of the usual electro
plating process. The experiments an
pear to be so far successful that both
nickel and cobalt have been welded to
iron, and the united metals have been
afterward stamped and rolled into vari-
GUS shapes, such as plates, kettles and
kitchen utensils, and drawn into wire
having an iron core covered by nickel
or cobalt skin. Allows of nickel also
have been made, and these alloys have
been used to weld with iron. Cobalt
alleged with zinc also has been welded
to iron. In all these experiments it an
pears to be essential that, during the
welding under the hammer or rolls. the
air must be excluded. This has been
done by wrapping the iron and nickel,
before welding, in thin sheets of iron.
The iron skin was welded on at the same
time, but was removed afterward by dis.
solving the outer skin of iron in acids, the
nickel surface under it not being af-
fected by the acids. Another method
used to exclude the air during welding
is TO heat the iron and nickel in an at
mosPhere of carbonic oxide or carbu.
reted hydrogen. 1t was also found that
pure nickel could be welded over a core
composed of an alloy of nickel and COP

A Tough Horse Story.

A certain horse in Sayreville for
twenty years has been cart horse in a
brickyard, and the habit of going
through a certain round of duties da9
after day for eight months in the year
has enabled him to do things which
seem to indicate the possession of
mental faculties similar to some of those
possessed by the human race. 1t is an
old saying among farmers that crows
cannot count more than three, but this
horse has the ability to count sixty-five.
His routine of labor is to cart sixty-fye
loads of clay from the pit to the spot
where the clay is mixed or ground, and
then to 20 for load of coal dust; and
now. without anything being said or
done to indicate the fact to him, when
he has deposited his sixty-tifth load he
turns away from the clay pit and goes
to the dock for load of the dust. This
is not his only popularity, for, when he
goes to the pit he backs the cart up
himself to the right place and will take
only what he conceives to be his proper
load. Ii more is put on he backs and
kicks and rattles the cart about until
the load is reduced to what he consid-
ers a.proper quantity. Having such in
tellectual capacity. it is not surprising
to learn that he will not be driven. AS
soon as the lines are touched he be-
comes fractions and unmanageable, but
a gentle explanation Of what is required
OF him has the desired effect. It is un-
necessary to add that such an intelli-
gent horse will do no more work after
the whistle for dinner or supper sounds.
All his companions in the yard have
wit enough for that and if they are on
their way to the pit for a load when the
whistle blows they all turn about and
make for the stable without any orders.

certain iurist met yesterday. They had
met often before, but there was nothing
strange in that, for the IN. g. is com

The jurist: We'll, why don, you

The m. g.: "Why, you see the old

This satisfactorily explained why the
colonel didn't want to read the bible.

DOOMED INvALIDs.



There is scarcely a day passes but
some poor consnnlptive invalid passes
through the city en- route to some sum-
mer resort in q high altitude. The vast
majority of them are too far gone to
hope for benefit. These persons have
too long postponed their coming. They
do not leave their homes until they are
beyond all earthly assistance, and, in
a dying condition, they come out on
our high plains. The result is just the
reverse of what they expected. In
stead of improving they sink rapidly
and, in most cases, they are fortunate
if they manage to live long enough to
get home. Many, however, die out
here.
The fame of these high western plains
as a sanitarium for consumptives, is
widespread, but the physicians in the
east do not seem to understand the
climate and effects. Right here let us
say that persons who are suffering
from consumption in its first stages
could not come to a better place. The
air here is 50 dry and light, and the OK
ercise required Of the lungs is so ben
efcial, that the disease is always ar
rested. But a person in the very last
stages of consumption could not come
to a worse place than in our high alti-
tude. The light air overtaxes the
remnant Of the lungs and the person
soon puffs his life out.
Yesterday there was a poor consump-
tive on No. 3 who was SO far gone that
he was forced to fan air into his lungs,
or what was left of them. The mark
of death was on his countenance and
his limbs were already growing cold.
He went down to Colorado, but we are
satisfied that he cannot live a week
whether he remains in Colorado
or returns home.
Every little while a poor victim of
that dread disease comes out In this
shape, and, as he ascends the plains his
life blood begins oozing away and death
soen claims him for its own.

HOG Ranch.
The Ex-Diys Mean Fsrr SIsbrara-rhs
Des<FleFs.

The Omaha Republican interviewed
Sergeant Fitzgerald, Of Fort Niobrara,
and learned the following facts:
Hog ranch. which WA burned down
BY Lieut.. Cherry's company after they
learned of his murder, was a notorious
dive, three miles from the post, which
was kept by Hank Castelleau, who, by
the way, was in Omaha yesterday en-
route to Sioux City. One of the women
OF the ranch also returned to Omaha
yesterday. and is o travelling on her
old stamping ground on Twelfth street.
Sergeant Fitzgerald believes that the
same gang who raided the Hog ranch
with the intention of robbery, had put
up a job some time before this of rob
bling Paymaster Stanton, and would
probably have done so had not Lieut..
Cherry and three sergeants gone out to
Bone creek and escorted him into the
post.
Chas. johnson, the private soldier
who deserted from the post with four
horses, and thus mounted his compan-
ion desperadoes, is an E~nglishman, and
was formerly in the British navy. He
came to this country shortly after the
close of the civil war. and together
with some others bought a large lot of
land In Virginia, at rs cents per acre,
and when they went to look at it they
found they had purchased two or three
mountains. This broke him all up,
and he finally enlisted ip the regular
army. Last fall he obtained a three
months leave of absence, which he
spent in hunting and trapping. during
which time he became acquainted with
several notorious outlaws. lie had in
his possession the revolver formerly
carried by the famous horse thief, Doc
Middleton. >
Moquin, another CT the gang, had
deserted from Fort Niobrara about a
month before johnson. and was fire.
quently seen at the Sage Hens ranch.
a low place kept by q notorious woman

The Hog ranch was started by a
Frenchman named Valleer, from Chey-
enne, who came there with a woman
named Laura Heatherly, who came to
Omaha and took back with her two
women named Nellie and Carrie
Mason, in July last. Valleer sold out
to John Connolly, who came to Omaha
for recruits for the dance house, and
stayed here two months, as he "got
broke" Dick Burr, a cowboy, stepped
in meantime and ran the place on
Connelly's license, assisted by Read,
and finally Castelleau got possession of
the establishment and made consider
able money, and twas this money that
the robbers were after. aEi

Struck Oil.

The people of this city and country
will, no doubt, reccllect the excitement
there was a few years since, in regard
to the immense fortunes made in such
short time by Mr.. A, b, G, etc., etc.,
in the oil regions. We now have a
very fair comparison to the oil specula-
ton, with the exception Of its being a
more permanent institution, and one
which will probably be handed down
from II generation to another, us long
as the world stands. We refer to our
friend Crittenton of 7 Sixth avenue
who, we understand, has paid a very
large amount of money for the right of
that popular article known as
HALE's HONEY OF HoRE-
HOUND AND TAR,
which was used for many years, with
unprecedented success by the ~discoyerer
and inventor, DIR. Hale,a celebrated ply
stefan OF Europe, in all cases of Coughs,
Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness, Difficult
breathing, and all affections of the
Throat, Bronchial Tubes and Lungs
leading to Consumption. Since the
introduction of this article IN this coun-
try, we understand it has made some
remarkable cures, and that its merits
are heralded from n to another until
almost every family in the country con-
siders it just as necessary to have Hale's
Honey Of H%orehound and Tar in the
house, ready for use, as it is to have
their tea, coffee, sugar, etc, Every
person who uses this article for any or
all of the above complaints is certain
to experience a most immediate relief,
and taking from six to twelve bottles
will cure the worst cases. 1t is now
being prescribed by our best physicians.
One cl%airvoyant physician informs us
That she prescribes nothing else in her
private practice for Coughs, Colds, or
any affection Of the Lungs, but Hale's
Honey o. Horehound and Tar, and
that she considers it a certain, safe,
cheap and effectual remedy. Druggists
recommend it to their customers, and
the sale of the same is increasing so
rapidly and unexpectedly that the pro-
prietor, thus far, has been very much
driven to supply the demand. This
we consider good evidence of the way
this article is appreciated. Sold by all
druggists at so cents and 81 per bottle.
