[Scientific Americana
Cast Iron Cutlery.

This title may appear anomalous,
but cast iron cutlery of certain forms
is far more common than its purchas-
ers generally imagine. And it is not
necessarily of poor quality, although
made of nothing but cast iron. In
the writers family is pair of scissors
of cast iron that has been used for
three years, and las been several times
sharpened. The writer has shaved
with cast iron razor, which did ex-
cellent work for months. There are
in Connecticut two quite extensive es-
adjustments which reckon cast iron
cutlery as among the important pro-
ducts of their work.
This allusion to cast iron shears and
scissors does not refer to the COM
bined cast iron and steel articles which
are usually considered superior to the
forged ones. These have steel inner
plate cemented on each blade by the
fused iron when it is poured into the
mould; but the cast iron shears and
scissors are wholly and entirely of
cast iron, and they are finished for the
market precisely as they come from
the mould.
The quality of the iron used is the
same or similar to that used in casting
for malleable iron, and for cutlery it
is cast in chills. When broken, the
crystallization is very similar to that
of hardened cast steel, and, except for
lack of elasticity, it serves the same
general purposes But although this
cast iron is not adapted to tools which
work by blows, it is sometimes made
into ice picks and axes, hatchets, and
steak choppers. The manufacturers
of cast iron shears and scissors make
no secret of the material, and sell
their goods for just what they are. Of
course they are sold cheaper than
forged work of steel can be Sold Re
tailers, also, know that this cheap cut
lery is not steel, and usually-unless
dishonest-they will answer truthful
ly any questions On the subject. But,
really, pair of cast iron shears or
scissors for ordinary household work
is just as good as one of forged cast
steel. There is only one difficulty in
the way Of superseding cast steel forg-
ings by cast iron castings in these I'M
plemements, which is that the chill
that makes the iron hard does not al
ways extend to depth that will allow
Of repeated grindings and resharpen-
ings, the material crumbling before it
can be brought to an edge. But when
first ground and edged, the shears are
as keen as those of tempered cast steel
and the blades retain their edges long
er.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

The season is nigh when it is the
yearly wont Of this people to observe
a day appointed for that purpose by
the President, as an especial occasion
for thanksgiving unto God.
Now, therefore, in recognition OF
this hallowed custom, |, Chester A.
Arthur, President of the United States
do hereby designate as such day OF
general thanksgiving Thursday the
9th day Of this present November,
and [ do recommend that througout
the land, the people ceasing from
their accustomed occupations. do then
keep holiday at their several homes
and their several places OF worship,
and with heart and voice pay reverent
acknowledgment to the Giver Of All
Good for the countless blessings
wherewith he hath visited this nation
In witness whereof | have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal OF
the United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington
this seventh day of November, in the
year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and eighty-four, and of the
independence of the United States
the one hundred and ninth.

The st. John people have succeed
ed in putting the party in power
which is pledged not to vex the dram
seller. Will it be claimed that the
St. John party now holds the balance
of power in New York and the coun-
try? Let's see,: The Republican party
Of New York was defeated by the
Democrats and Prohibitionists by a
few thousand votes More than 200,
900 anti-prohibitionists vot with the
Republicans whom prohibition plat
form would drive over to the Demo-
cretic party. How are the prohibit
ionists going to prove to the Republi-
can leaders that their only hope Of
success is in driving these voters over
to the Democrats? With prohibition
not an issue the New York prohibi-
tionists may hold the balance of power,
but with prohibition party issue the
Democrats can defeat the united op-
position by more than 10000 major
ity. The prohibitionists have put
their worst enemy into power, and
now they have ABSOLUTELY no POLITICAL
influence which is worth anything to
themselves or to any party. They can
get no Legislature to submit prohibi-
ton except through the party which
they have just defeated.-N0tionat

What 1t Means.

The election of Cleveland means
the massing Of the rum power in the
Democratic party. 1t means the turn
ing over Of the pensioned soldiers to a
party which is controlled by the men
who manned them. It means the
turning over Of a successful financial
policy to a party which fought that
policy inch by inch. 1t means the
turning over of full treasury to
party which believes in an empty
treasury, and which has always follow
ed that belief in practice 1t means
the turning over of the United States
army to party which has for twenty
years in the South counted itself in
where, in some States, two-thirds of
the voters have been Republicans. It
means the rule of the Solid South
which had to be whipped twenty-five
years ago by the Solid North to keep
it from destroying our country. 1t
means the turning out of office Of
100000 prohibitionists and the put
ting in their places of 100000 anti
prohibitionists. It means the defeat
of prohibition in Kansas and Iowa,
and the indefinite postponement OF 1t
everywhere else. 1t means no Sunday
legislation, no Bible nor temperance
text books in our public Schools. 1t
means no Legislation to make men
moral" It means in the North a
victory for the foreign and criminal
classes Of our cities over the honest
farmers and business men of the
country. In the South it means a
victory for the Brigadiers over the
Unionists white and black. 1t means
the election of a confessed libertine
without brains, morals or experience,
whom every self-respecting woman in
the nation will avoid and who was re-
buked by his own city, his own ward
and his own precint, which had once
honored him. 1t means very weak
President in the hands Of the Solid
South and the saloon riffraff of the
North.-NatiOnaI american.

The Art Of Seeing.

In everyday life it is much more
important to ba an accurate observer
than mere book learner. | have
frequently seen the latter made to
blush for her deficiencies by the most
unlearned, says correspondent in an
English contemporary, for in con-
test between eyes aud no eyes, eyes
have generally got the best Of it,
Nature has given US such an mex
haustible store Of interest that those
who go through life without seeing"
lose much Of the zest Of it. The saw
age, who necessarily depends upon his
keen eye and quick ear, cultivates
those faculties in an extraordinary
degree; for does he not see indications
and hear sounds which to an unprac-
ticed observer would be utterly unin-
telligible? So also with all persons
who live near the heart of nature.
The English shepard, while perhaps
ignorant of the very formation of the
alphabet, stores up fund Of interest
ing knowledge, derived entirely from
observation.
He can give you simple, interesting
IdClS w III dSbOn-
ish scientist, as well as trustworthy
information on natural history and
botany. His pursuits lead him to
study nature in all its varied phases;
it is in this way that he can tell you
that the arrival Of the swallow may be
expected on the 11th of April, and
not later than 18th. He tells you the
best time for noticing the fight Of
birds, and that nearly every bird has a
different manner Of flying, and that
each has wings adapted to its different
habits; for instance, those like the
swallow, who catch their food while
in the air, have long, pointed wings,
while rounded, short wings are only
for birds who have slow and short
fight. He will also tell you how the
tiny pimpernal warns him to house
his lambs by closing tightly its petals
on the slightest indication of rain
and thousands of other simple facts
which to a student of nature are most
interesting-Scientifc american.

Sale of Washington, Monroe and Jack
son Furnaces.

Yesterday at one o'clock was the
hour appointed for the sale of the real
estate of the Union Iron Company by
Mr.. McGugin. the Receiver. Between
one and two o'clock a small knot of
men gathered in front Of the Court
House steps and few curious specta-
tors stopped on the wayside. Most of
those present were prominent bank
ers, business men and furnace men Of
this and neighboring cities. The work
though important was quickly accom-
plished. Jackson Furnace was first
offered. No one seemed to want it so
George Davis, who has a mortgage
upon it, quietly took it in at two
thirds of the appraisement, $13,001 90.
No one bid on Washington or Monroe
except L. M. Beman, who bought
them in at two-thirds Of the appraise-
ment for a syndicate of the creditors.
Washington brought $29,667 and
Monroe $32,667. By this sale Wash
ington and Monroe become the prop
erty of so per cent of the creditors
who united to purchase it. The bal
ance of the creditors will share pro
rata in twenty per cent of the pur-
chase money.-Portsmouth Tribone.
