SAND LOT LANGUAGE IN CONGRESS. In
recent address to his followers on the
"sand lot" at San Francisco, Denis Kearney,
referring to the personalities in which some
members of Congress have lately INDUCED,
got in some rather effective home thrusts.
"Let me call your attention." he said, "to
those Congressman in Washington who
pltercd the sayings Of the sand lot to slur
each other with thief robber, perjurcr,
liar" These are the choice cpithets used
by Congressman toward one another on the
floors of Congress. l knew it would come
to this, aud now that Conrrcssmen have
stolen the phraseology Of the sand lot to
hurl at c:ch other, VIC must invent some
more new phrases so as to keep up the
home supply. When the nobility of Boston
was treated to a dose of sand lot rhetoric
before breakfast tho morning after l held
forth in Faneuil Hall they held their
breaths and wondered what next. Tho
residents of Murray Hill, New York, trem-
bled aud turned pale while reading the
speech that delivered in Union Square to
10000 people. How must they feel now
when reading the proceedings Of the House
OF Representatives every day? Even on
one occasion the language used was unfit
for publication. Surely the sand lot must
get the credit for persuading Consressmen
to call each other by their right pames"--
When Denis Kearney can trulhfully criti-
else the representatives, at the national cap
ital for scurrility, and can read them a
lecture on decency and good manners, it
would seem about time for Congressman to
realize the position in which their recent
undignifed utterances have placed them.

PROTECTING IRoE.-A new process for
preserving iron is described by Les Nondes.
1t consists of treating the casting with
dilute hydrochloric acid, which dissolves
little of the metal and leaves a skin of
homogeneous graphite holding well to the
iron. The article is then washed in re-
ceiver with hot or cold water, or cooked in
steam, so as to remove completely the
chloride of iron that has been formed.
Finally the piece is allowed to dry in the
emptied receiver, and solution of caout-
chouc, guttapercha, or gum resin in essence
of petroleum is injected, and the essence
afterward evaporating leaves hard and
solid enamel on the surface of the iron
work. Another plan is to keep the chloride
of iron on the metal instead of washing it
off, and to plunge the piece into bath of
silicate and borate of soda. Thus is formed
a SLIGO borate of iron very hard and brill.
liant, which fills the pores of the metal
skin. As for the chlorine disengaged, it
combines with the soda to form chloride of
sodium, which remains in the pickle.

" changed his views" and it is said is now
aspiring for political office.
The Swedish Baptist Churches of Min
rosetta, of which there are about forty, are
taking lively interest in the foreign mis-
sions, and especially the women's circles
are contributing quite largely to this OBJ
ject.
Robert F. Schullie was educated for a
Catholic priest, united with the Baptist
Church at Canto, Ill, a few days since,
and it is calculated to make Baptist min
lister of him after short probation.
The United Presbyterian Church in this
country, by close vote of its presbyteries,
has repealed the law against the use OF
musical instruments in religious services.
The vote was GIG for repeal to COG against.
Governor Hoyt, of Wyoming, says that
the Sabbath in Cheyenne is as quiet az any
village in Massachusetts,, and he attributes
the improved moral condition OF the place
to woman suffrage, which prevails Id the
State.
The Baptist ministers OF Boston have
had quite discussion on proposition to
petition the Governor of the State to do
away with the annual Fast Day, on the
ground that, like all American festival oc-
casions, it is made a scene of drunkenness
and debauchery.

Mr.. Spurgeon says he regards it as 3
reason for devout gratitude that he has beer
spared to produce such library of ser
