We are in receipt of the ll7th annual
report of the Board of Governors to the
Legislature of New York. showing the
condition of the New York Hospital and
Bloomingdale A YUM for the year 1851
The report is voluminous one from
which we take the following extract that
will be of Int est to our readers:
THE Post of First Assistant Physician,
which was vacant at The beginning of the
year, was filled in January by the appoint
ment of DIR. w. E. Dold, formerly the
Second Assistant Physician. upon his re-
turn from years study in Europe. AS
his qualifications were well known to the
Committee his appointment to this very
responsible position is the strongest en-
dorsemement it could give him."
DR.. Dold is son of the late DR.. S. NJ
Dold, of Harrisonburg, and a nephew of
ex-Mayor G. M. Dold. of Lexington. He
is an accomplished and popular young man,
and his promotion will be recognized by
his many friends in the Valley, as richly
deserved.

verified and mixed with 10 per cent of
huorspar, charged loose into the furnace,
where it is set by the heat. My furnace is
built SO that the meltS take about one
fourth of the time usual with the Siemens
furnace. The time usually taken by the
Siemens furnace, with 80 per cent of scrap
and 40 per cent of pig and ore, is about J
hours. In my furnace the operation is
divided by the use of two chambers, con-
verting chamber and purifying or rein :
ing chamber. Into the latter motion iron
is taken from blast furnace and treated
with ore to remove the silicon and half the
carbon, which takes about q hours; to
make the repairs requires less than half an
hours time; so that eight operations are
practicable in "a hours. The metal is
transferred by an outside runner to the
converting chamber. where in about p
hours it is converted into steel by removal
therein of its carbon and phosphorus.
About half an hour is required for repairs
to the lining of this chamber, using about
so pounds Of Ii ne and huOrspar to ton OF
steel.
"The results by this process are equal
from any inferior metal to those obtained
from the purest charcoal iron, and the
steel obtained Yields with the same facility
that iron does Iron has been made by the
process without a trace of phosphorus
from pig containing 0.65 per cent of this
element, and with but bare trace from
pig with 2. 81 per cent of it,"
The company intends to at once enlarge
its plant to a capacity for making 20 tons
of steel a day. taking motion iron from a
oloss furnace. about 800 yards away which
is nearly completed. The Birmingham
coal, Mr.. Henderson says. is the best he
has used. and he expects by using motion
iron to make ton of steel with three
bushels of coal. bulletin Iron and Steel

A Contrast.
ASSOc1Qt2On.

The speech of Senator Salisbury on the
Presidents message was repetition Of
the theoretical statements of Democrats
on the tariff question. 1t did not seem to
enter the head of the Senator that the
practical American people want some
thing more than abstract refnings and
threadbare theories, which have been the
stock in trade of the free traders ever
'''''''~----, esnunrnment was founded. EX-
perlence teaches that the appIrUauIuu OF
these theories and assumptions to admin
istrative policies has brought disaster to
the country in the past. Such results
were shown in an empty treasury, ruined
credit and industrial dependence upon for
eign countries, and an almost total ab-
sence of home manufactures.
The Republicans show something else
as the result of the policy of protection.
They array the vast industrial system of
the nation: the extensive manufactures; a
plethoric treasury; credit in the forefront
of the nations of the world; the best
banking system and currency ever known;
a home market for the farmer; good wages
for the laborer, and degree of prosperity
unsurpassed In the annals of any people.
1t is this contrast in policies and their
practical results that the attention of the
people will be called to in the approaching
con est. 1t is whether they will be will
ing to trust party that offers them d
theory which has proven harmful in the
past, when attempted to be enforced, or
accept the assured results and the tested
policies of the Republicans. which have
given them tangible DEMENT'S and brought
progress aud prosperity to the nation.
