The Irn Itealnn of the I.rhlnh Vnllrr-The Iron Work Ncnr Kn.ton-A Trip on Iho North Prnn.ylvnnla Itnllrond. rvm Our Own Correnpondtnu Glenhon, Pa., July ,29. Tbo beautiful valley of the Lehigh, with Its mineral wealth, Its fertile fields, Its lovely river, and its romantic scenery, 1ms the eyes of all Pennsylvania fixed upon It at this moment, for Is not Asa Packer, tho money king of this rc Rlon, tho candidate of tho unterrlflcd for the Governorship? and aro not his millions expected to carry the bogarly fortunes of tho Democracy through the campaign and, to stimulate tho ac tivity of the party of "principles not men?" Asa Packer Is reported to bo worth some 120,000,000 at tho present moment. It wfll bo a curious calculation for him to bo made to figure up his wealth next October, and find out how much there is remaining to him after tho Democratic managers have gone through him, as they certainly expect to do. However, poli tics are not my present theme, and leaving Mr. Packer to dream of Gubernatorial honors, I will say something of matters of more permanent Interest. Did any of tho readers of The Teleghapii ever sco a "cast" made at an iron furnace? If not, it would well repay them to make a trip to this place to enjoy the sight, independently of tho beautiful scenery they will enjoy on tho road. Day and night, year in and year out, tho fur naces aro roaring and flaming without inter mission. All night long they give a magnificent illumination, flashing into the river that runs swiftly by, and lighting up the horizon for miles. Four times in each twenty-four hours a "cast" is made; the boiling, bubbling cauldron of fire Is opened, tho refuse is drawn out, and the pure iron melted from the ore is run off Into moulds and made ready for the market, "flic spectacle afforded by a "cast" made at mid night is something worth a little enthusiasm for any one who has an eyo for tho picturesque. An opening made in the bottom of the fur nace by a workman permits the "slag" to run off by a sldo channel; and when all the refuse of tho coal, lime, and iron ore, mingled iuto a hard vitreous mass, has passed off, out pours the liquid iron like water, throwing off brilliant showers of sparks as it runs along tho channels prepared for it in tho earthen floor of the mould ing room, until the whole space Is covered with glowing bars of liquid fire. These go by tho unromantic name of "pigs," and arc the fami liar black pig-iron of commerce. The iron Which fills the main channel is named the "sow." Not very poetical, it Is true; for although the spectacle is magnificent, this is a very prac tical operation by which the metal is extracted from the ores and put into a shape for future use. The Glcndon Iron Company has four furnaces at this place, and one at South Easton, a mile further down tho Lehigh river. The largest and most recently erected of these furnaces is about eighty feet in height and ten or twelve feet thick in its widest part. They are built of com mon red brick, and lined with fire-brick. The new furnace is fitted with a magnificent blast engine built by Merrick & Sons, of Philadelphia. In the oldest furnace the blast engine is run by water-power. The furnaces are shaped like crucibles, or rather they arc immense flasks, and with all the appurtenances each one of them is a complete and elaborate establishment of itself. In the process of manu facturing pig-iron, tho ore which is a mixture of hematite, or brown ore, found near this place, and magnetic, or black ore, found in New Jersey is mixed with limestone and coal, and thrown in at the top of tho furnace. The mass is kept in a state of ignition by a hot blast, and at the largest furnace every twelve hours, and at the smaller one every twenty-four hours, a "cast" is made. These furnaces are kept in operation night and day. and they use ally burn for about three years, when it is found necessary to "draw" them, for tho removal of the slag and clinkers that choke them up, and to make other repairs. This district is the centre of an extensive iron trade. At South Easton is the Stuart Wire Mill, tho most extensive establishment of the kind in the country. It sends wire of all kinds to every part of the United States, and it has just fillod a large order from Brigham Young, who professes to want it for fences, but in all probability it is intended to cage in his wives. Another largo establishment on the Delaware, about a mile below Easton, is the Warren Foundry, which Is also one of the most extensive works of this character in the United States. From fifty to 6ixty-fivc tons of iron per day aro poured at this foundry. Here was cast the large thirty-six inch main for tho Philadelphia Water Works During the past year the Warren Foundry has shipped several thousand tons of water-pipe to California, for San Francisco and Los Angeles Besides these, there aro a number of bolt works, sheet-iron works, rolling-mills, etc. Easton is about twelve miles from Bethlehem, on the Lehisrh Valley Railroad, and is beau tifully situated in the midst of tho hills. Indeed, the whole trip from Philadelphia to Bethlehem, on the North Pennsylvania Railroad, and from Bethlehem to Easton, is one that is well worth taking merely for tho sake of looking at the country. Tho North Pennsylvania Railroad passes through one of tho richest districts in Pennsylvania. Below Quakcrtown tho land scape is softly undulating and beautiful, with ripeuing fields of grain, farm-houses bowercd among the trees, and Its stretciies 01 woouianus "dew? pastures, dewy trees, Sufter tuan steep all things lu order stored, A haunt of ancient Peace." Some of your readers are doubtless still cogitat inir where to spend a portion of tho summer. Fashion demands that the city shall be forsaken by all but the regular cau't-gct-aways, the chil dren need a chance to breathe the lresn air auu have a run iu the green fields, and there are a thousand-and-oue reasons why the dwellers in the city should go out of town for few weeks at least during the hottest weather. It Is u question whether the debate which is going on lu some minds between the sca-shoro and tho mountains, the fashionable watering-places, and the less ex pensive summer haunts, might not bo advanta geously settled by a trip to this region. There are hundreds of pleasant farm-houses, many se cluded villages where those who really wish for tie benefits of fresh air, healthful exer else, and wholesome faro selves iu a rational and ner, and be able to return vigoratcd In body and mind. can enjoy them- lncxpenslvo man to tho city rein- It takes but about two hours to run from Philadelphia to Bcthle hem, aud a trip on the North Pennsylvania road to that place Is worth making for its own sake; and for those who have business iu tho city, tho f icllltles afforded by frequent trains aro such that no serious Inconvenience would bo felt by most citizens In spending tho summer months there or at some of tho Intermediate places. Above Quakcrtown tbo country begins to get mountainous, but It still possesses the peculiarly attractive features of Pennsylvania scenery scenery, by-the-way, that is not surpassed in the world, and that ought to be moro famous than it Is. Let some of tho readers of The Telegraph give tho fashionable summer resorts tho go-by for the present, and Invest half the money they usually spend in a visit to this delightful region, and my word for it they will have no cause to regret tho change.

Those wretched mortals who imagluo that Count .lolinnne, ono of flip Mont Not orlnu nnil Idionynrrnilr Jlohi-iiilan. of (lotliiiui, is dead, aro miserably mistaken. Ho is alive, and, if not actually kicking, would liko to be executing that too-and heel performance upon the persons of various New York editors whom he construes into having libelled him. All his spare time and his time is as spare as his person Is now spent In visiting newspaper ofllccs and re questing to sec tho back numbers on files. Those back numbers aro supposed to contain libellous paragraphs relating to himself. Iudecd, It is dangerous to say anything, about Count Jo hannes in print dangerous, at least, for those puny-souled editors who live in terror of libel suits. The Count has as keen a scent for libel as a crow has for carrion; and where the libellous paragraph is, there will Count Johannes be found gathered together. While so engaged in contemplating these abusive columns, his ap pearance is striking, not to say awful and pro found. He wears a yellow straw hat, bound with a black tape border, a black bomba.lne- looklng coat, and his florid and furrowed com plexion is framed in with a wig, the positive de gree of which would bo brown, the comparative auburn, the superlative red. He enjoys his reputation modestly. He is stared after in the street, but passes on seeming not to mind it. He might be mistaken for an undertaker who can't get paid for his last funeral, or a Methodist min ister obliged to pack up and leave comfortable quarters. Ho is never so happy as when talking of his daughter, the energetic aud volcanic Avonia, or when penning the peroration to a column-long letter to an evening paper. Ru mor says that he has on hand a work of un paralleled interest, entitled "The Law of Libel: an Autobiography." Tlientrlrnl Hem. Next Monday Joseph Jefferson commences an engagement at Booth's Theatre. Various stories have gained credit in regard to the length of Mr. Jefferson's engagement and the amount of re muneration he is to receive. Here is the truth of the matter, which I guarantee to bo correct. Mr. Jefferson's engagement will be limited to six weeks, terminating on Saturday, September 11. He is to perform seven times each week six evenings and at a Saturday matinee. He Is to receive half the nightly receipts, and to be assured $500 every matinee. lie is likewise to be the recipient of one benefit. The nightly re ceipts will average 51200, so that during Mr. Jefferson's six weeks' engagement he will m ike about $25,000, exclusive of his benefit. Fifteen years ago lie was an insignificant actor; now, ho can command these prices, not at Booth's Theatre alone, but wherever ho goes in this country. Miss Charlotte Thompson, who has been quite ill, and endeavoring to recruit at Long Branch, made her reappearance last night before an audience whose size and good nature were sug gestive of the audiences that greeted her first appearance at ood's Museum nearly a year ago. me programme was excessively long, the temperature was excessively hot, but Miss Thompson was excessively (though, of course, blondely) bewitching, so that the heat and tho hilarity did equal shares in promoting perspira tion. An improvement is going to be introduced into our fire-telegraph system, that of An "Electro-nittunetle Watch-Clock," with ono or more alarm-bells so urranged that a break in the continuity of any of the circuits shall be indicated to the operator. By means of this arrangement the alarm is sent out so rapidly on each circuit that the whole number of alarm-stations will receive oue blow ou the gong within oue and a half seconds, although the force of the battery is thrown on only ten circuits at one time. A good deal of kindly-meant but quite unne cessary sympathy has been bestowed upon the Widow oftlie I.ule N. P. Willi. That lady, far from being left iu needy cir cumstances, is situated so comfortably In regard to this world's goods that she would probibly decline the subscriptions which the late pur chaser of "Idle wild" proposed should bo raised for her. "Idlewild," it will be remembered, was the property of Mr. Willis and for many years his place of residence. It has lately been sold, however, and has passed Into the hands of Mr. Thomas George, a wealthy lawyer of Newburg, aud a friend of the poet-editor. Mr. George proposes taking formal possession in next Octo ber, and will then rescue tho estate from the ne glect iuto which It has fallen. Nathaniel Parker Willis was not, perhaps, as prudent and saviug a man as he ought to have been; but tho sensible and accomplished woman who Is his widow knew how to compensate nobly for the improvi dence that was an integral part of his luster and mpctuous nature. Though "Idlewild" is no longer her home, she is one of those few excep tions to the list of poets widows who are con tented with a competency, ami have a compe tency to bo contented with. The Firework Jvxplonlon in front of French's Hotel is educing the usual editorial comments and spasms of public indig nation. What right, people ask, have a party of wassailcrs to roam around endangering the lives and limbs of sober aud peaceable citizens ? What right, indeed !
