Extraordinary Welding. We were shown recently a very inter- esting specimen of blacksmith work—a bar of Bessemer steel to which five dif- ferent kinds of iron ,and steel were per- fectly welded, without changiug its shape in the least. The bar was rolled into form at Thornpson's: Steel Works, in Jersey City, awl is one-half by two and 4 half inches in the cross section. The welds ~etre all made with Schierloh's Cherry -heat 'Welding Compound. First, a piece of Bessemer steel, cut from the head of the bar, was: welded fast to it again, the heatinand welding occupying eight minutes, On the re- verse side of the bar a piece of foie cast - steel was we11ed in six minutes. Further along esu the bar a piece of blister steel was welded in eight minutes. : This sane steel cannot be welded with borax, as the high temperature needed. with that flux makes it as brittle as cast-iron under the hammer. Opposite this is a piece of wrought-iron,was welded in -six minutes, and further along on the bar a piece of east -iron was welded in .three minutes. This was a piece of the inould- board of a plow. Thei bar, with its ad- ditions, was then ground and polished on the edge, so as show the points at which the welded metals came into con- tact. No weld was visible on any of them, and the diilerenee in tite metal could only be told by the color after pol- ishing. This solves a great many im- portant probienm in lean manufacture„ among others the -welding of Bessemer scrap, the rerolling of Bessemer rails, and the manufacture of iron rails with Bessemer steel heads. We • speak ad- visedly in this matter, as we have per- sonally determined the strength of the welds made with this compound by care- ful and thorough mechanical tests. At the Delamater Iron Works, ui New York, the scrap steel which accumulates about the shops is utilized in a very simple and economical manner. A pile of mixed steel is made, with a proper quantity of the welding compound sprinkled between the layers. The pile is then brought to a red heat,. and work- ed into shape under a steam hammer. Mr. Crolius, foreman of the smith shop, says the welding is invariably., perfect, and that the only objection to the scrap • steel for, tools is, that . in making the piles bits of steel of inferior quality some - tines get in, which are 'not suitable for the edges of cutting to=ols. With more -care in selecting and piling the scrap this difficulty would be, entirely avoid= -ed. • - We understand, that 'the Cherry -heat Welding Compound is` about to be test ed in boiler work. It isproposed to lap- weld boiler plates by patting a ribbon of meet -steel between, and heating the edges with a blow -pipe. Should the ex- periment be successful; riveting may be. entirely dispensed with, and batter boil- ers will be produced at a cost much be- low that of riveted work. We have giv- en: this matter editorial notice because of its;great practical importance to many branches of the iron and steel mamifac- bed according to tie lights, and made it badly. Now it -so happened that Wilson had on his side of the same fence melon and 'cuctunbeii frames, and a mound covered`with marrows, and in providing for these things he had carted in plenty of good manure, of Which there remained a heap untouched in the same locality. So Jones, having crammed into his bed an twusual quantity of spawn, waited, and in vain, for mushrooms. As the supply in theses began to wane the mar- row mound become productive, . and when that crop wasout the. heap of ma- nure became gorgeously decorated with gigantic mushrooms. Every morning Wilson walked up the garden, proudly displaying, a basketful of mushrooms while Jones, who saw and admired them in spite of himself, began tospeculate on blowing his brains out or giving up gardening, It was settled in this way Jones married Wilson's stunt, and Wilson married Jones' ,grandmother, and thence- forward the mushrooms were divided between them.

He is about 27 years old; and his life has been marked by his devotion to the Roman Catholic church. His title and estates pass to his brother, Lord Edward Bernard Howard. The Duke of Norfolk's mother is a sister of Lord Lyons; recently British minister at Washington. BISHOP Savin 'was dedicating a Methodist church in Iowa thelother day, and soliciting subscriptions for it, when a young man whispered to him that, if a certain young lady would marry him he would give $500. The bishop blurted it right out in the meeting, and the lady, Barkislike, said she was villin'. s1tt v alos AN EMIINENT French physician,' says Max *Adder, claims to have discovered that fiddling will cure nervousness, and that a trumpet solo will cure catalepsy. I have not yet tested the accuracy of these statements, but I know a man who is learning to play the aocordeon who has so conipletely cured .everybody in the neighborhood of home=sickness.that they, are perfectly willing to remain away from home for any length of time while the accordeon fiend is practicing. He is also curing the house rents in the vicin- ity by driving them .down. I have also known singing to relieve acute attacks of rheumatism. Old Jones, who used, to live near me, was disturbed one night by a glee club" which was serenading his daughter. He suffered a great deal from rheumatism, but he managed to hobble to the front window with his gun, and while he was leaning out to take aim at the man, who sang bass, he lost his balance and tumbled out on the pave- ment.

An Odd Woman. Mas. l,ewson was left a wealthy widow in London in the time of George I. ; and, rejecting all offers of remarriage, passed.. the rest of her days at the residence of her le,te husband in Cold Bath Square. The house" was large and handsomely furnished, and same of the beds were kept constantly made -and in trim order, although they had not been slept - in for, 30 years. Her own room was: occasion- ally swept out, but never washed, and the windows were so incrusted with`dirt: as to admit scarcely any light.
