The ci y proper, overgrown, crowded, while it is a good place for the brain to thrive, is a peer place for the weary body to oltain recreation from toil. It is a place kir work, but no place fox recreation. TheT garden spots referred to may be reached in, almost every direction by the Iron ways, which chain the mountains to the ,aeaboard, and it is one of these highways with its' surroundings that demands our ~ present attention. .7. The great• Union Depot,i ! located nearly In 'the heart of the city, with the huge Eleva tor froWning down upon it, sends froni-its portals daily over twenty accommodation ,trainst'bearing as a living freight hundreds "of our merchants and busy' mechanics to, the fresh air of the country, now teeming' with the odor of new-mown hay, the breath Of fragrant flowers, with the accom paniment' of warbling birds and gurgling brooks, atriong which the cares of the-day vanish,rapidly infusing new life and vigor into the veins, and better fitting one for the returnAof labor of each successive morning. . , SuppOse we take the early morning train of the Pennsylvania Central - Railway, yclept Routh's No. 1. Wall's Accommcida tion. The luxurious cars fitted up express ly for the local travel—fitted up alike for 'the rich hnd the poor, -- for, "the Lord is Maker of them all, —fi - surpass for .ease and comfort anytither train leaving the Cen tral Station. Slowly we leave the Depot, erawlin'g along in a serpentine manner over the numerous switches carefully watched over by the vigilant switchmen. As we near the German Catholic Church on Fac tory street r the index on the clock In the tall iron spire points to 6:45. In ,three min utes more we reach the outer depot, where a number of brawny, iron -fisted! workmen, by whose labor the motive power of this great iron highway is accelerated, step Out, and away the train starts for Lawrence -vile. At this point 115evler's immense Brewery at'the foot of Iron City Park, looms up , in gigantic proportions, and as we ,wind around the curve at Den ney's, new houses of mushroom growth dot the' hillsides, look, for all the world like the_ r l l / a 8 in thh Swiss cantons, only waiting jhe broad roofs, herds of goats and sndw-capped bills. to complete thitpic... tuje. As wernesr—the-statiotr at-MIT/Vale, passing the'lprofane improvement" to the left,-'s charming ravine opens up to the right, with its race, woolen mill, and vine clad cottage, the latter 'soon to be super ceded by a villa of more modern construc tion;' but the ravine, with its grand.i old woods Its hillside, its murmuring brook, and the picturesque rocks scattered around remind one of Nature and of Nature's God. Away we 'start again, and three minutes more .brings us to - 'with its beautiful suburban residences, for the wealth of the city commences here to beautify the country.' A. fine design for a fountain, at the foot of Dr. Hussey s prop erty, looking like a wayside fountain of sunny Italy, Stands boldly out to view near the station. For more than two years it has been silent—no gushing stream having made its weleome appearance. Elegant mansions are seen through the trees in all directions, with Sowers, gravel walks and fish ponds; denoting the home of taste and wealth. nour's STATION, , with its new station house, is next reached, and here are evidences or wealth and lux ury on every 'side. Here, too, is McF.sr land's Grove, a picnic ground, buttoo often for stald'Pittsburgh the scene of rampant rowdyism. 'More suburban residences are passed, and at five minutes past seven we reach ' EAST. LID Torr. - At this point,-nearly tiro -thirds of our passengersleave and but few remain upon the train. With' all this distance from the Union Depot, we are still in the city, al though five miles - from the Court house, for reader we are now consolidated ; and East Liberty is but one of the wards of the great city. Two policemen, in, all the dig nity of blue coats and brass buttons, Pana ma hator.and ratan canes, make us forget the country. Ten `years ago, and this was: a village; town lots were not then in de. mand, and attempts at selling property in• • prospective werelooked upon with suspi cion. Behold the change ! To-day, East Liberty numbers a population of over 5,000 inhabitants and 800 new buildings have been erected during the past year. An elegant.new City Hanle now being built, a new Lutheran _church added to the six places of public worship, and anew Episco pal Academy and Parsonage is being rapids 1y completed. .

A stook exchange is needed here, like, that of Brighton or Bull's Head. This , however, come in time. Near the stock yards is the depot i around which many new buildings are-clustering.

The excellent accommodations of this route . , the obliging courtesies of conductors Routh, Kirkpatrick and Hopkins render it an attractive road for the public.

IN A RECENT memoir on the bleaching of linen thread, Mr. Kolb states, as the result of much experiment, that carbonate of soda, even in large propoitien, does not weaken the thread, but that the use of lime or of caustic soda has this effect in a great degree. IT Is s.Axo that by glneing together vege table fibres laid longitudinally side by aide, And then examining a very thin transverse section. under the microscope, the difference between the various kinds can be Intel bet ter appreciated than by the usual :wa'y of subjecting a few longitudinal fibres to ex am ninon.

The superfluous carbon being thus got rid of, the iron dust is melted in a oracible, and when cooled is found. to be converted into excellent steel.
