When the war broke out Mr. Hewitt placed
his services at the disposal of the government
at Washington. He was not fitted either by
nature or training for military position, but
he possessed a technical knowledge of iron
manufacture and remarkable skill in diplo-
macy which made his services Of far greater
value to the government than If he had been
a graduate of West Point or Annapolis. On
two occasions he was sent abroad by Presi-
dent Lincoln as the accredited representative
of the government. On both occasions he
was the bearer of letters from Secretary
Stanton to Minister Adams in London, who
was directed to cooperate with Mr.. Hewitt
in everything that the latter did When
Secretary Stanton came into office he found
himself confronted with great civil war
and discovered to his CONSERVATION that
there was no gun iron made in the country.
The position of the government was a peril
Gus one. Mr.. Hewitt's technical knowledge
of the manufacture of iron made his services
in this juncture of great value. 1t WIS nee
essary to have the gun barrels made here and
the secret Of their manufacture must be dis
covered.
When he arrived in England Mr.. Hewitt
adroitly managed to effect IN entrance into
the gun iron works of the Marshall Iron com
pany. Visitors were not allowed to enter the
works and he had 10 resort to strategy In
order to effect his purpose. He watched the
process of making gun iron, mastered it, and
on his return home introduced it into the
United States.
With several large mills under his coutrol
Mr.. Hewitt Immediately set to work to make
gun iron, and with such success that he pro
duced all that was used during the last thret
years of the war. In the making Of this CUR
iron Mir. Hewitt extricated the government

The Gentleman in Corea.

Once having become gentleman, the Co.
rean affects a peculiar slow swinging stride.
and never breaks out into rapid ''go-as- you
please" gait. This peculiar stride is supposed
to be caused by sitting cross-legged SO long
in riding in the chair, and seeing it one at
once infers, as is desired, that the person is a
gentleman and accustomed to being borne
about from place to place rather than to
walking. Also the speech and manners
change with the promotion to gentility. A
Corean can instantly detect gentleman by
his form of speech. The vulgar forms Of
the commoner are dropped and the more ele
giant expressions of the gentleman are cult
waited While in the house the gentleman il
strict in enjoining the observance Of all the
respect due him from his women, children
relatives and friends With the laborine
classes there is more home life; they sit dow
together to eat their meals, and they smoke
when and as they please, while the son ol
wife of gentleman may only smoke in hi
presence on special permission.-H. n. Allen

Now hides the PROSTATE shore; retreatiDg soon
They leave the pearl, the coral, and the she'll
