York Ece'eing Post says under the
above head :-"Frozen flesh should
never be rubbed, The juices of the
fleshy tissues, when frozen in their
minute sacs or cells, at once become in
each of these Enclosures, crystals, hav-
ing large number of angles and sharp
points; and hence rubbing the flesh
causes them to cut or tear their way
through the tissues SO that when it is
thawed the structure of the muscle is
more or less destroyed. The proper
mode of treatment is this Nv hen any
part of the body is frozen it should be
kept perfectly quiet till it is thawed
out, which should be done as promptly
as possibly. As freezing takes place
from the surface inwardly, SO thawing
should be in the invers order, from the
inside outwardly. The thawing ont of
a portion of flesh, without at the same
time putting the blood from the heart
into circulation through it, produces


modification; but by keebing the more
external parts still congealed till the
internal heat and the, external blood
gradually soften the more interior parts,
and produce circulatian of the blood as
fast as the thawing takes place, most of
these dangers are obviated. Ifthe snow
which is applied be colder than the
frozen flesh it will slillfurther abstract
the heat and freeze itworse than before.
But if the snow is of the same temper
ature 1t will keep-the flesh from thaw-
ing till. heat from the rest of the
body shall have effected it, thus pre-
wanting gangrene. Water, in which
snow or ice has been placed, so as to
keepits temperature at thirty-two de
greesi Fahrenheat, is properly better
than snow" isoI

1t has long been grave question
whether any government not too
strong for the liberties OF its people can
be strong enough to maintain their
own existence in great emcrgencies.-
On this point the present rebellion
brought our Republic to q severe test
and the Presidential election occurring
in its regular course during the rebel
lion, added not little to the strain.
The loyal people, united, were put to
the utmost of their strength by the
rebellion. Must they not fail when

political war among themselves? But
the election was n necessity We can
not have free Government without
election, and if rebellion could force
us to forego or postpone the national
election, it might fairly claim to have
already conquered and ruined u.s.
The sJrife of an election is but human
nature, and practically applied to the
facts of the case, what has occurred in
this case must ever recur in similar

in any feature, because of great ma

Heating the iron opens its pores, so that
the smoke or carbon can enter ;nto It.


The furnance for this purpose is a conical
building Of brick. in the middle Of which
are two troushs Of brick or stone, which
holds about four tons of bar iron. At the
bottom is 9 large CRATE for the FIRE. H lay
er Of charcoal Is put upon the bottom of
the troughs, then layer Of bar iron, and so
on. alternately, until the troughs are full.
They are then covered over with clay, to
keep out the air, which, il admitted, would
prevent the cementation. Fire is then
communicated to the wood aud coal with
which the Guruancs is filled, and continued
until tie conversion of the iron into stee |
Is completed. which generally happens In
about eight or ten days. This is known by
the blisters on the bars, which the wJrkmen
occasionally draw out in order to determine.
When the cow ersion is completed the fire
is then left to go out. and the bars remain
in the furnance about eight days more to
cool


The bars of steel are then taken out, and
either sold as blistersd steel or drawn to q
convenient size, when it is called titled
steel. German steel is made out of this
blistered steel, by breaking the bars into
short pieces and welding them together,
drawing them down to proper size for
use.
