HORSE RACING.
The amusements of the turf have of late
b e en spreading through our country at a
f ea rful rate. We are sorry that our county
fairs have done much to stimulate the ten
dency. It is high time that some correc
tives were applied. The Rev. S. F. Scovel,
i n the admirable address delivered by him,
b e fore the Students' Christian Association
of Washington and Jefferson College,
s peaks thus plainly and pointedly on this
subjest :
The racing of horses is destitute of all
the commendations of the athletic sports.
I n trinsically, it is cruel. Besides this, it
i s utterly unnecessary. The argument of
utility, so often used, is the merest sham.
The difference in speed between 2.14 and
~ .1!3 or 20, is of no sort of practical value.
It is possible to know all about a horse that
i s worth knowing, without the racing. The
horse is a noble animal, and his culture
ma y be a dignified branch of business; but
on ly so much the more reason why the
one should not be racked and strained by
rac ing, or the other disgraced by all that
a ccompanies the sport. To prove most
distinctly the corrupting tendency of the
a musement, let us go where it is establish
ed on the most favorable footing, where all
classes are represented at the races, and
where the institution is old enough to have
arrived at its fullest deielopment. Go to
the English turf; and, looking ,through eyes
which are by .no Means 'jaundiced by pre
judice against the race, you shall see such.
a scene as this :—"*At last the race is over;
the crowd begins to move in the distance,
like Burnham wood toWrira Dunsinane,
and at the last I hear borne down to my
solitary place (the writer had retired from
the course to the station), a roar as. of a
coming flood. " Then there is a wliirr of
wheels, then voices crying, Lord Lyon I
Lord Lyon l It is not the late English
minister at Washington, it is the favorite
who has won the Derby. Then comes in
the crowd—nay, reels in—tipsy, excited,
oaring, trampling one upon another; etieh
trying for the first seat in the train. And
as we go swiftly homemiard, there are on
one side besotted men muttering oaths,
and there are besotted men on the other
singing, ' Slap, bang, here we are again.'
Those have lost, these have won. But that
night I conclued that one always loses who
goes to the Derby—a day at least."—(M.
D. Conway, in Round Table, June 9th,
1866.) And this when the proprieties
were sustained by the presence of Royalty
and all the nobility.
And note how this one social sin devel
ops the power of all others, and becomes a
nucleus about which they gather. Take
another description. It is the " testimony
of an English secular journal, Which
makes no pretensions to superior morality,"
and is therefore extorted through all an
Englishman's pride and respect for old
customs, by the shameful facts :-- 14 The
Derby is nothing more nor less than the
drawing-day of ,a great annual lottery.
The amount of money that must change
hands each anniversary of the race is abso
lutely incaloula,ble. You may be pretty
certain that every cabman who has driven
you for the last month, every man-servant
who has waited upon you, every post Wan,
policeman, porter you meet, every crossing
sweeper to whom you give a penny, had a
stake upon the race, small, perhaps, in
itself, but large in proportion to his means.
There is not a public_house in any town in I
England, and very few in the most secluded
rural districts, which has not had its Derby
sweep. The truth is, that the crowd on
Epsom Downs is a crowd of gamblers, and
has the code, the manners, the aspect, the
recklessless and the extravagance of gam
blers. * * Of the twenty thousand
people who, it is calculated, were,present at
Epsom Downs, we should say.that at least
nineteen thousand left the ciourtge nacre cii
less the worse for liquor. To this state of
well-nigh universal semi-intoxication we
should aseribe.the extraordinary coarseness
of language and gesture which character
ized the conduct of' the crowd. Possibly
our view may seem exaggerated, but as
k matter of fact, we believe that the chief
attractions of the Derby consist, in the
first place, in the possibility afforded by
the race, of picking up money; and the
second, in the extraordinary license of con
duct and language which, some how or
other, has become recognized as permissi
ble on the great day of what Lord Pal
i merston called our 'lsthmian games.' "
', The Spectator.
" Somehow or other," the writer is
too honest to know that such a fearful
ggregation of vices and the vicious, such
isorder and turmoil, are the natural ont
rowth of the institution. The character
f the sport is brutal, and all brutal phases
of nature may be expebted to turn upward
that day. There maybe,some growths
the philosophy Of which- : is obscure, but
he growth of snob a mass, of corruption
bout such a point of sin, is,,no marvel.
RIPE BREAD.
Bread made of wheat flour, when taken
ott of the oven, is unprepared for the
stomach. It should go through a change,.
or ripen, before it is eaten. - Young per= -

baked without any sensible injury from it;
but weakly anfl aged persons cannot; and
bone can eat such without doing harm' to
the digestive organs. Bread, after being :
baked, goes through a ohann, similar to
the change in newly-brewed beer, or newly
churned buttermilk, neither being healthy

the oxygen in a pure state. Bread will
always taste of the air that surrounds it
while ripening; hence it should ripen
where the air is pure. It should never
ripen in a cellar, nor in a close cupboard,
nor in a bedroom. The noxious vapors of
a cellar or cupboard never should enter
into and form a part of the bread we eat.
Bread should be light, well baked, and pro
perly ripened before it should be eaten.
Bread that is several, days old may be re
newed so as to have all the freshness and
lightness of new bread, by simply putting
it into a common steamer over the fire, and
steaming it half or three-quarters of an
hour. The vessel under the steamer con
taini9g the water should not be more than
'half full, otherwise the water may boil up
into the steamerrand wet the bread. After
the bread is thus steamed, it should be
taken out of the steamer and wrapped
loosely in a cloth, to dry and cool, and re
main so a short time, when it will be cut
and used. It will then be like cold new
bread.—. American Farmer.
A - NEW TEXTILE.
The last discovery which comes •to us
from Nevada is agricultural rather than
mineral, but very important. It is of a
new textile, such as was eagerly sought
when the rebellion broke out, but unsuc
cessfully. The plant now discovered has
its' home in the Humboldt valley, where it
grows in large quantities, and can, of
bourse, be made , to grow more thriftily by
cultivation ; while, if it has the values
which are ascribed to it, it will soon be re
moved to other fields and propagated among
regular crops. The plant is said, by the
discoverers, to be superior to any textile
now in use. Though styled hemp, it is
so called on account of its closer similarity
to that than to any other growth. It has
a stronger and finer fibre than the proper
hemp, and a much longer staple. In pro
portion to the wood, too, the fibre is much
more abundant It can be more easily
separated than flax or hemp, and can be
stripped clean from the stalk without pre
paration.
Nevada lies between 37 deg. and 42 deg.
north. This corresponds with the latitude
of Northern California, of San Francisco,
Salt Lake City, Indianapolis, Columbus
and Philadelphia. The Humboldt river,
along which the new hemp grows, runs
from the mountains of that name westward,
through a mountainous country. If, there
fore; experiment proves what is now
claimed for this textile, it can be prolonged
in its' cultivation- from its original habitat
to our own doers, and will enhance the
valtie of the hemp harvest in 'those States
where it is now an imiortant feature.

BESSEMER'S PROCESS,
It will be remembered that, some ten
years since, the minds of inventors were
running, as they still are, in the direction
of improved guns. It, was believed that
these might be made much stronger if some
better material than cast iron were used . ;
and Bessemer, like many others, began a
series of experiments to solve the problem,
if he could. He first tried a mixture , or
efartirinitigt — Eitier,"The- refgartrehig--a--
half-decarbonized cast iron. Guns made
of this metal were found to possess great
strength, but as they were of comparative
ly sthall bore, 24-pounders, Bessemer re
solved to make them on a larger scale , for
the 'purpose of more conclusively testing
the strength of the material. In the course
of his experiments, the idea occurred to
him, that if he could contrive to blow air
through melted pig-iron, he would be ena
bled to " purify" it to an unusual , extent.
He thought that by thus bringing oxygen
into contract with the fluid -metal, the car
bon with which it was surcharged would
be removed as well as the silicon, phosphor
rus and sulphur which it contained. This
is exactly what is done, after another and
very laborious method, in the process of
puddling. He proposed to reverse the
process, and so get rid of puddling alto
gether. Instead of bringing the particles
of the iron in turn into contact with the
oxygen of the air, his soheme was to force
the air through the fluid mass into con
tact with the separated particles of the
iron. Now that , the thing is done, we see
how simple, how natural the first idea was.
But it needs the quick intuition of genius
to detect even simple things in practical
science.
The only way of determining the matter
was by putting the idea to the test of ex
periment. Accordingly, early in 1856,
Bessemer ordered a stock of Blaenavon
iron, and set up a blast-engine and cupola
at Baxter House, St. Pancras, where he
then resided. The first apparatus which
he used for conversion was a fixed cylin
drical vessel three feet in diameter and
four feet high, somewhat like an ordinary
cupola furnace, lined with fire-bricks; and
at some two inches from the bottom he in
serted five twyer pipes, with orifices about)
three-eighths of • an inch in diameter.
About hall-way up was a hole for running
in the molten metal, and on the opposite
side at the bottom . was the tap-hole, by
which the metal was to be run off at the
-endof the -process.
- The first experiment was not made with
out occasioning considerable-alarm. It was
a mosVurinsual.Pricess, and it looked dan
gerous, as indeed it proved to be. When
the charge of pig-iron was melted, the
.blast was turned - on to' prevent ii: running
into the twyer holes, and then the iluid
metal' was poured in through' the charging
hole by the attending stoker. A tremen
dous commotion ii mediately . took...place
within - the vessel; the molten iron bounded
from aide to side ; a violent ebullition was
heard going ott l ethin; while a vehement
violet-ColoredUrtime, accompanied with
dazzling sparks, burst from the throat of
the cupola, nom which the slag was also
ejected in large foam-like masses. A cast
iron Vete, of the kind used to cover holes
in the, ravement, that had-been`:suspended'
over the mouth of the vessel, dissolved in
a gleaming mist; together with half a dozen
yards of the chain by which it hung. The
air-cock was Jo:close to the y - essel, that no
.one durst' go neai Muia- it and stop the
process. The flames shot higher and higher,
threatening the destruction of the building,
and the fire-engines were sent for in hot
haste. Before they arrived, however, the
fury of decarbonization had expended itself,
and the product was run off. The result
was not quite satisfactory; the product was
for the most part " burnt" iron ; but the
experiment was sufficiently encouraging to
induce Bessemer to make a second trial,
and the product was found to be malleable
iron. In the course of further experiments,
it was found that by interrupting the pro
cess before the deoarburization of the iron
was complete, the.product was unmistake
able steel, which was tried and found of
good quality. Here was a discovery of
immense importance. If malleable iron
i f
l.
and e could be made thus direct from
pig-* ,by a process so rapid and so sim
ple, i could not fail before long to effect
an entire revolution in the iron trade.
The news of Bessemer's discovery soon
flew abroad, and many distinguished metal
lurgists went to see the process. Among
others, Dr. Percy went, and, thus describes
what he saw
" Toward the end of 1856, I had the
pleasure of seeing the process in operation
at Baxter House, and I confess I never
witnessed any metallurgical process more
startling and impressive. After the, NO
*as' turned on, all prOceeded - huietlY , 'tor a
time, when a volca no-like eruption of flame ,
and sparks suddenly occurred, and bright !
red-hot scoriae or cinders were forcibly
ejected, which would have inflicted serious
injury on any unhappy bystanders whom
they might perchance have struck. After
a few minutes all was again tranquil, and
the molten malleable iron was tapped off,":
Though the Doctor oame away wonder
ing, he was not convinced. He analysed a
portion of the iron which he had-,seen. pro
duced, and when he found it to contain one
per cent. of phosphorus, he says his scep
ticism was rather confirmed than other
wise.
Among other visitors at Baxter House
was the late George Rennie, the engineer,
Who, after witnessing the process, urged
Bessemer to draw up an account of it for
the meeting of the British Association at
Cheltenham in the autumn of 1856. To
this the inventor assented, and the result
was his paper " On the manufacture of iron
and steel with jut fuel."
On the morning of the day on which the
paper was to be read, Bessemer was sitting
at breakfast in. his hotel, when an ironmas
tor (to whom he was unknown) said, laugh
ing, to a friend within his hearing, "Do
you know there is some one come down
from London to read a paper on making
steel from cast-iron without fuel I Did you
ever hear of such rubbish 2" The ironmas
ter was, however, of a different opinion as
to the new invention after he heard the
paper read. Its title was certainly a mis
nomer, but the correctness of the principles
on which the pig-iron was converted into
malleable iron, as explained by the inven
tor,. was generally recoguized, and there
seemed to be good grounds for anticipating
that the process would, before long, come
into general use. The rationale of the
method of conversion was intelligible and
simple. Mr. Bessemer held that by forcing
atmospheric air through the fluid . metal, the
oxygen was brought into contact with the
several particles of the iron and carbon;
combining with the latter to form carbonic
acid gas, which passed off by the throat of
the veseLtkixQuali which the alas was also
effected,
av leing as the ihen—the
combustion was complete, a mass of malle
able iron, which was run off by the tap into
the ingot moulds placed for its reception.
" Thus," said he, " by a single process, re
quiring no manipulation or particular skill,
and with only one workman from three to
five tons of crude iron pass Into the condi
tion of several piles of malleable iron, in
from thirty to thirty-five minutes; with the
expenditure of about one-third part of the
blast now used in a fiery farnaneewith an
eqUal charge of iron, and with the consump
tion of no other fuel than is contained in
the crude iron."*
In the same paper, the inventor called
attention to an important feature of the
new process in the following words-:-7-" At
the stage of - the probens inimediately fol
lowing the boil, the whole of the crude
iron has passed into the condition of oast
steel of ordinary quality. By the cpntin
nation•of the process, the steel so produced
gradually loses its small remaining portion
of carbon, and passes successively from
hard to soft steel, and from softened steel
to steely iron, an& eventually to very soft
iron; hence, at a certain point of the pro
cess, any quality may be obtained."

at Cheltenham, August, 1856.

ANTIDOTES FOR POISONS.
In the British and Foreign Medico-
Chirurgical Review we find the following
statements : Messrs. T. & T. C. Smith
claim to have discovered a common antidote
for prussic acid, antimony and arsenic.
Prussic Acid Antidote.—Take of liquor
of perchloride of iron 57 minims (drops);
protosulphate of iron in crystals, as pure as
possible, 25 grains; as much water as will
make a solution of a protosesquisalt of iron,
measuring about half an ounce. Dissolve,
on the other hand, 77 grains of crystalized,
carbonate of soda in about halt an ounce of
water. These quantitid deist* the w lioii
sonons action of between 100 and 200 drops
of prussic acid, officinal strength, in giving
first the one liquid andlblit the other:'.
Antidote 'for Cyanide of Potassium:--
The antidote for this compound is the same
as for the prussic acid, eieept that 'the
solution of protosequisalt of iron is•to be
used without the alkaline or soda solutiOn,
the prussic (hydrocyanic) acid being al
ready combined with an alkali. ilihe use
of the alkali, however, would not be injuri
ous—a harmless yellow pfussiate would be
formed. In this case, in consequence of
the possible presence of free acid in the
stomach, the alkaline liquid should be
given first. The quantities given, as the
prussic acid antidote, would decompose 35
grains of cyanide of potassium.
Antidote for Arsenious Acid, White Ar
senic.—Measure out 5 fluid drachms and 7
minims of liquor of perchloride into
2 or 3 ounces of Water, tlien add to the
' liquid aeolntion of 1 ounce (about two table
spoonfuls) of crystallized carbonate of soda
in a few ounces of warm water, and stir
till effervescence ceases. - The resulting
mixture destroys about ten grains of ar-
Antidote for Tartar Emetic.—Mix 5
fluid drachms or teaspoonfuls and seven
drops of liquor of the, perchloride of iron
with a few ounces of water; then mix in a
cream formed of 90 grains of calcined mag
nesia, rubbed up with water in a mortar;
stir till, after gelatinizing, the mixture
again gets thin; emgy the mixture into a
calico or muslin clblh, and press out the
liquid; remove the
' .mass from the cloth
into a clean mortar,and rub it up with a
little-water into a smooth cream. In this
state it can destroy twenty grains of tartar
emetic. It can also be used as an antidote
for arsenic, of which it absorbs about ten
grains.
M. Bunsen, an eminent German chemist,
and Dr. Berth°llet, declare, as the results
of their carefully-conducted experiments
on the 'subject, that the hydrated peroxide
of iron, formed in the process already given,
by the addition cif the perchloride of iron
to carbonate of oda, is a better antidote
for arsenious aci , or white arsenic, both'
solid and dissolve y than albumen is to cor
rosive sublimate.
Albumen, the ntidote for corrosive sub
limate, is alWays at hand in the form of
white'of egg. lie person who has taken
a poisonous dose of this mineral salt should
cici
immediately Mit ow as much white of egg,
well mixed with water, as the stomach will
bear. There is o danger from excess, and
even if fresh v icing should be excited,
so much the be ter. The eminent chemist,
Thenaril, whilelectiring at the Polytechnic
School, Pebt.tsarY, 1825, swallowed by mis
take a glass of the concentrated solution of
corrosive sublimlite. In five minutes whites
of egg were lebtained and taken. He
vomited repeatedly, but . " never had any
other Pain or ill) consequence.

England writes to a friend as follows :
"I have tried the PeruVian Syrup, and the residt
fully sustains your .prediction. It has made a new
man of me; infused into my system new vigor and
energy; I am no longer tremulous and debilitated, as
when you last saw me, but stronger, heartier, and
with larger capacity for labor, mental and physical,
than at any time during the last five years."

"I have been using the PERUVIAN SYRUP for
some time past; it gives me new vigor, buoyancy of
spirits, elasticity of muscle."

remedy, from weak. sickly, suffering creatures, to

" Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry gives universal
satisfaction. It seems to cure a Cough by loosening
and cleansing the lungs, and allaying irritation, thus
removing the cause. instead of drying up the cough
and leavinitthe cause behind. I consider the Balsam
as good as any, if not the best, Cough medicine with
which I am acquainted."
