Water mixed with ice gives the best tenn
per to steel. One may insert some small
tools to advantage in lump of ice, as jew
elers and watchmakers do when they temper
them in sealing wax. Often oil is used,
and is preferable to water, because 1t is not
so easily evapOrated. Damascened blades
are tempered In a strong current Of cold air
passing through a narrow chink, a temper
more uniform than with water being thus
obtained. But of all the means for this
purpose It is believed the most efficacious is
a metallic liquid, and mercury being the
only one known, and always a good con-
ductor of heat, as well as the best of LIQUID
conductors, 1t has come to be regarded as
an unequaled bath for the temper Of very
sharp steel tools.

had been paid him by Mr.. Cameron's agent in

services In the matter. The speech caused
great excitement in the audience because of
the circumstantial account Mccarthy gave
of the transaction, and at its conclusion
State Senator EckleY B. Cox, for whom Nc
earthly has worked for years, said: 81 made
up my mind that If Matt Quay got ahead of

Ismsil, the dethroned Khedive, bears well
the weight of his fttY-one years, and the
riotous living to which many of them were
devoted. His light hair is scarcely streaked
with gray, and he still wears the fez cap.
He has OF late grown very stout, and this
change is the more noticeable on account of
his short stature. He speaks rapidly in
French, with many gestures, generally clos
ing one eye when much animated. Upon
