That winter is upon us in all its severity is a. fact which, while it brio Os gratifying anticipations of revil and feslval to New York, Yorpper-tendom dawns unpleasantly upon the minds of il4st not lese numerous dass, the—destitute \poor. While summer clad thenawith its drering.warmth, and a plentous harvests diminished the cost of sus taining life, they managed to 'supply their necessities. But winter, in its relentless , tyranny, begrudgeii them the means of satis fying. • nature's first craving, while they are subjected to its piereing blasts 'without ade quate protection. The •increased wants rigorous . - which-the o season brings upon the .., poor wilfnot.be loat sight of by the tharit ' able and humane organizations, and the sympathies of private individuals may be • profitably enlisted on that behalf. Many a yearpi" ng heart will be made glad by the an -mull ditter to the -poor: to be given under the auspices of s Trinity .'Chinch an Christ mas, and it is to be hoped that this bend cense will lid many emulators among us ,who will both feed - aid clothe the needy; for ;nowhere as in this . great city is thete to be met ei ninth shivering misery and hollow - _ eyed destitation. -- It cowers piteotsly, er ' glares• abstractly, not only in its peculiar. haunts, but en the grelit thoroughfares.

Amusem e nt seekers will be entertained : - this season With Shakespearian theatricals. Already, within the last fortnight, Mrs. - Scott Siddons has given us representations of three of Shakespeare's heroines in the New York theatre. As a reader she is pos .:: e.ssed with considerable talent, if not ge \ ;.; • niass but her .acting is indifferent. The ,• public have s iseen disappointed with her, sir y. because she was superpralsed by the apeculative manager, and she, had the mis fortune `to .be\ very shabbily supported. • - With careful study she may make-a very prominentmar on the stage. ' She has a . prepossessingX intelligent and handsome • face, with good s form and ;carriage. The leading ' attraUtians at Wallack's and _Booth's (the [ ;latter theatre to , open after the, hall ays) will he' the plays of the great drantatist. • This may indicate an improvdment in the public • taste, orsatleastia praiseworthy desire on the parrof the managers tay.-test the numeri- I, r- cal strength of the lovers of the legitimate in this, city. There are people who hint that Shakspearian , revivals 'are not desirable. .• The fault is 'a grievous one, and belongs at ,the door of the managers who employ play '' ers to habitually torture the "divine Wil • ' liam" by their unctuous mouthings of his ~' fine sentences and their.utter innocence of : the spirit of .the. text. With a little pruning of long speeches and's:nose real acting, Shahs . -peare's plays are capable of being made de ; . cidedly suecessful. On •Twenty-fourth , street a few doors westward from the junction of Broadway , - and • Fifth avenue, on the site of the' old • Fifth-avenue Opera Holise, stands the al - . 'most completed 'structure to be known as s. Brougham's .Theatre. It is not a large house, butis_perfect in all its appointment% and the prestige of the talented founder, - will go:far to make it as populaisas it will be cosy and congenial, as the home of in • nocent mirth and enjoyment. The Loess bridge, which spinsßroadway at Fulton street will soon have migrated to Centrol Park, its future destiny. A placard has been placed on the structure by some -•• facetious individual in 'which the . bridge is ~. made to deplore its lots condition, owing to hard kn'4selcs. It is certain that the famous hatter has had something to do in the mat ; ; • ter, but the trespasser is not wholly blame , less. The enterprising photegraphist, - who, Gabriel-like, sounded his - bugle for the as • ambling of motley grOups, has lost his oc ' tufiation, and his hazy pictures will have -vanished into thin air. with the last notes of his bugle. - ... The President, in his message, seems to have resorted to a sort of politiCal hari-kari, salt sort `of= self-inflicting punishment for hie transgressionsi: ( =Out of'his owtilsionitt he stands convicted.

The application of steel to many of the purposes for which iron has been andis sow generally used, had been limited by the diffi. clay in producing steel in sufficiently large masses, at a comparatively low cost and free from flaws, with a perfect homogeneousnesi of material—this seemed to present an al most' insuperable difficulty to its general employment. Cast steel made by cementa tion, while possessing superior hardness, lacked tenacity; if tough, it was soft; if hard, it was brittle. In 1851, however, I Krupp, of Essen, Prussia, showed, in the London Exhibition, an ingot of cast steel Weighing 4,500 pounds, the heaviest then known. , In 1862, he exhibited another one weighing twenty tons, in the form of a solid cylinder, nine feet higlrand three feet eight inches in' diameter. 'lt had been broken across to show its fracture; under a good microscope it would not exhibit a single flaw. Since then 4e has repeatedly ~prod uced unitises of forty tons weight. There can be no reason, at this late day, and in view of .tht experiments made in Engliutd andon the continent, for doubting the superior darability, 'and the ultimate su perior cheapness of steel rails and tires over those of iron. On our railroads it is :theo retically correct to say that the weight of a loaf rests AIR a point; but it is net practically correct; there is .compression; mmck of it in the road . itself, or the rail, but some of it in the wheel er tire. Yet, notwithstand ing that; it can be demonstrated , that % perfectly rigid bed or roadway, aid as rigid wheels, is the rule thatis found by ex perienct_to be the beet. Soon -as a wheel or tire gets 'out of round,' it becomes, in operation, a hammer, destroying the raiL Mr. Bessemer, at a recent meeting of the British Association at Nottingham, gave an exceedingly elaborate and interesting se count of his own system - of manufacturing steel, aid showed the vast importance that branch of industry had anumed since his -Tatentsaste-into-working operation.—By the old system, fort,ypoundtof 'steel was the largest mass of metal operated upon; but by his process as /much as\ i twenty-five tons could be converted into teel in one 'heating. It had superceded iron wherever _large castings were required, such as ord nance of large size, locomotive and marine engine-cranks, rails, etc. He mentioned, as showing the superior durability of steel rails over those of iron, that at the station at Cam den Town, at a part of thejine over which all the traffic passed, a steel rail as placed i vt, on one side of the line, and an iron rail on the other, and that seventeen faces of the iron were worn away, while the/first face of the steel rail was still in working order. The first cost of steel rails was, 'of course, much greater than that of iron,'but compen ,satioir was found for this in its great dura ,rability.—Ax?tual of Science. Resources of the South. The wealthy iron men •of Pennsylvania are finding in the hills of Shelby, Bibb and Talladega richer ores and finer metals than old Lehigh county itself ever possessed. Who would have dreamed, ten years ago, of a Pennsylvania iron maker coming to Alabama in search of iron ore? Who - would have imagined, six months ago, that the unpretending village of •Cross Plains would now be aspiring for the centre of a large German colony. Our people have scarcely yet waked up to the importance of the changegoing on. They don't realize that we are on a great highway. We have many things to learn. The Pennsylvanian will teach us the value of iron ores. The adventurer froth Lowell will convince us that our beautiful mountain streams can turn spindles to profit. The lumberman from Maine will carve his fortune from our pine forests and show us the value-of timber. .The Tennesseean will teach us to grow clover, improve our lands and make corn. The Kentuckian will send us blooded horses, fine cattle and a few Chester pigs. Laboring men will seek our cheap lands.—Alabama Paper.
