NOTHING has transpired to indicate
whether or not the Lsgislatnre will order

sale would result in a sheer loss to the
State of some millions of dollars. What
the State would lose in the operation the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company would
be certain to gain. .
The Commercial approved of the pro
posed sale. We respectfully suggest that
it turn the matter oyer again in Its mind,
acknowledge its mistake, and cast the
weight of its influence on the right side.

kitten In the Trade.
The heading of this article informs the
reader of whet we are now to write about.
We do not propbse any learned disquisi
tion upon the first discovery of the adap
tation Of iron for man's uses, or of its
exact fitness to contribute in supplying
the first necessities' of the race t Nor
shall we need to occupy these types in di
lating upon a theme already well compre
hended by the intelligent reader—the in
estimable value of this most precious of
metals, as the basis of individual and na
tional claiins to the refined, luxurious and
elevated progress of the race in this era of
the world: The reader can indulge in
these speCulations for himself—perhaps
more to his own enjoyment than any
thing we might say—and if-he can devel
ope any new ideas in'that behalf, we con
gratulate him in _advance,. for a genius
which ne bushel should hide frbm the ad
miration of mankind.
Let us take a fair start, ' with the under
standing that everybody recognizes the
essential value of the simple metal, iron,
to individual comfort, to National strength
and prosperity—perhaps we might say to,
the existence of either individuals or na
tions. What we propose to show is
briefly this, that a revolution is at hand,
in the production of this metal under the
forms which adapt it for human use,
which will so lessen the cost of its prep
aration in these forms, will so improve the
metallic product itself, will so enlarge
the range of crude materials available for
that preparation, and will so simplify the
peculiar and somewhat intricate processes
to which the manufacture has heretofore
been confined, as to promises radical rev
olution in the trade specially engaged,
and t 6 inaugurate a new era of progress,
as wonderful as it is sudden, toward the
satisfaction of the great primal decree that
man shall live by the sweat of his brow.
The inventor, Pnexcrs Emnionteu
szn, presented himself, in September,
1868, to a firm prominent among our
Pittsburgh iron -masters, and invitedtheir
attention to certain discoveries which he
claimed to have made in cheapening the
cost and in improving the quality of their
manufacture. Messrs. SHOENRERGER,
BLAIR & CO., the present - successors in a
business which the late Dr. SHOENBER
ORR was among the first - to establish at
this point, were fortunate in being selec
ted by the sanguine inventor to aid him
in the development of his plans. They
were more fortunatestill in already posses .
sing the sound judgment, ripe experi
ence, clear discrimination and steady
nerve which combined the essential quill.
ifications, for a careful and exhaustive
trial upon the merits of the new and
startling claims now made to them.
For these claims were as new as that of
COLUMBUS who promised to make an
egg stand upon its end ; they were
equally simple, and equally capable o
a speedy proof. The simple experiment
of the Genoese discoverer, so easy; so ob
vious and so conclusive, was'of illim
itable potency over the destinies of man,
since it was a startling illustration 'of the
simplicity of truths which were to re
organize the social constitution of the
world. So the discovery for which this
gentleman now asked the experimental
judgment of a few iron masters of this
city, simp:e and obvious as It was, sig
nified the reconstruction of a vast and
opulent traffic, and that a manufacture of
traditional acceptation must be laid aside
forever. The problem of CoLumnis and
his egg has been propounded and solved
again, in another form, in our own prac
tical city.
On several occasions hitherto, this jour
nal has alluded to the experiments - in pro
gress at the "Juniata Works" of the above
named firm. Yesterday, we reprinted,
from a New York journal, an article,
mainly correct in its statements, which
gave some idea of the nature and results
of the Emansrrerlsms process. We had
also yesterday the pleasure of witnessing,
upon the inventor's invitation, the entire
process, as it Is now has been for some
weeks successfully pursued at those iron
works. •
We learn from the specification in the
letters•patent that the novelty of this pro
cess consists in :
“The mixing of solid oxides Into and
among fluid cast iron, or of fluid oxides
with solid cast iron, granulated or mi
nutely subdivided, in such a manner and
in such quantity as to produce a solid
conglomerate of the two substances, and
also in effecting this mixture, and pro
ducing the - resulting pig bloom or pig
scrap, without the a pplication of .other
beat than that of the fused cast iron or
oxide;as the case may be, thus dispen
sitig with the use of -.a furnace for any
part of - theproems: of mixing after the
melting of the cast iron or oxide, which
ever of them is used in a fused condi
tion.
"The material thus produced may be
used in like manner asany, vrrought-lron
of similar shape, so that when raised to
a welding beat o the pig bloom, manufac
tured as heireinbefore described, may be
pressed, squeezed, hammered, rolled,
or worked in any of the methods em
ployed in the treatment of wrought iron,
and with like results, excepting that the
article of wrought iron produced by our
process is superior in quality. o that ob- -
tatned in the ordinary way."
The process was witnessed at the works
•
yesterday by a large number of gentle
men, representing not only the press of
the city, but some of the most prominent
and successful iron-masters from distant
points, who were present that they might
see and judge for themselves. Let up
sap that we saw no experiment; we be
held only the regular working of the nen
method-which, far as the proprietors
have been able to reconstruct their mill,

is now their entire reliance for the manu
facture of a very superior iron. The fol
lowing description, - reprinted from yes
terday, gives a sufficiently exact idea of
the details of the process as observed by us:
On the casting-floor of the smelting
furnace,
a cast-iron turn-table about 18
feet in diameter, is revolved on rollers
by a small steam engine. Upon the out
side edge of the table stand a row of cast
iron partitions, forming boxes, say 24
inches wide and 10 incites high, open at
the top. Just above the circle of boxes
standee stationary, wide-mouthed spout,
terminating in the tap hole of the fur
nace. When the furnace is tapped, the
liquid iron runs down this spout and
falls out of it in a thin stream into the
boxes as they slowly revolve under it,
depositing in each a film of iron, say one
eighth of an inch thick. But before the
fall of melted !iron reaches the boies it
is intercepted,,or rather crossed at right
angles, by a thin fall of pulverized iron
ore, which runs out of a wide spout from
a reservoir above. These two streams or
falls are of about equal volume, say one •
quarter of an inch deep and, twenty-four
inches wide.
The thin layers of iron and ore at once
chill and solidity, so' that by taking' ot
the outer partition of the boxes (which
form the rim of the turn-table) they may
be removed in cakes of the size of the
boxes, and weighing about one hundred
pounds -each. These cakes or blooms
are put into a reverberatory pud
dling or heating furnace, and raised to a
bright - yellow heat. They will not melt
at this heat, but become softened so as
to be easily broken up with a bar. The
four blooms are formed, in the furnace,
by the "rabble" of the workmen, as
in ordinary , belling operations, into
balls. The balls are brought 'out, one
after another, squeezed in the ordinary
"squeezers" to expel the cinder and su
perfluous ore, and then roiled into
wrought-iron bars, which are now ready
for market, or for further reduction into
smaller finished forms.
It is seen that the process is a faithful ex
position of the two new principles in iron
metallurgy which Mr. ELLERSTIAUSEN
claims to have discovered, viz: Ist, That
cast-Iron thoroughly intermingled with
oxides will not melt; 2d, That any im
purities-in the mixture thus effected are
all removed by heating the same again.
The practical application of these princi
ples consists in forming a conglomerate
of the liquid cast-iron, as it runs from the
blast-furnace, with a sufficient amount of
oxide , (crude ores pulverized) and subse
quently heating this conglomerate to a
welding-heat.
Observing the manufacture in all its
stages, from , the discharge of the blast
furnace into the moulds, to the bending
double and treble of the horse•shoe bars
told over the anvil, we also obtained
from the inventor, from gentlemen of the
firm and ft= Mr. TATNELL; the super
intendent of the works, a variety of facts
which are at the service of the public. Let
us first advert to.
The coat of the process. The old method
of puddling is dispensed with. The pud
dlers, working at the same rate.find am
ple employment as heaters, and
the increased production largely swells
their earnings. Of the twelve fur
naces at this mill, but one has
yet been rebuilt and enlarged ; the
rest will be similarly altered as fast as
possible. The old furnaces, with a poor
draft and small capacity, turning out un
der the boiling method about 2,300 pounds
to the five heats, yield now without alter
ation from 3,900 to 4,000 pounds for the
same work. The new furnace has yield
ed from six heats 5,955 pounds. These
facts show the capacity of the fur
naces without alteration to be nearly
doubled. Of the two stacks in :the cast
ing -house, but one is used for this pria
cess, no turn-table with moulds being
yet provided for the other; although' or
dered and soon to' be ready for use. The
former yields 4 to - 5 tons at each
run every three hours, or eight runs in the
twenty-four hours. The present table, 16
feet in diameter, is to give place to one
twice as broad, more than doubling the
area and increasing the total product ac
cordingly. The moulds on the present
table were filled yesterday in fifteen min
utes from the tapping of the furnace to
the knocking off of the clamps and the
lifting of the pig-blooms by the workmen.
No puddling being necessary, the pig.
blooms are transferred to the heating fur
nace and, as soon as the , welding heat is
again-attained, thence to the "squeezer,"
from the squeezer to the muck-rolls,
and so to the, muck-billet, which is cut
in proper lengths, reheated for the "horse
shoe-bar" rolls, and so turned out fin
ished of a quality heretofore unsurpassed.
We found that the same fuel, labor and
furnaces for the production of 'One ton of
puddled iron, turn - out two tuns
by this process; that the iron is
greatly improved in quality and uni
formity; that re-workings are needless,
unless for change of shape,
_because the
"muck-bar" is found to possess all the im
proved quality; that large masses can be
made without welds, and that all of this
is accomplished without any extra loss of
weight. Indeed, on the latter point, we
learned that`while of puddled metal 100
pounds yielded only 95 pounds of iron, -
100 pounds of pig, under this pro
cess yields 105 pounds, a difference gained
from the, crude. ore. The &ill-estimates,
the figures tieing based upon 1500 tons of
iron already produced, show a saving of
$l5 per ton in labor alone, on horse-shoe
bar. There will be large additional sav
ings in mills which, built for this process,
shall have stacks and moulding-tables
side by side with the heaters, so that the
transfer can be made without cost or de
lay, or the cooling of the pigs. Regu
larly- heated, the best results are
invariably attained. The first glance
of comparison between the muck-bar
products of the new and the old process
tells the whole story. Follow it down to
the billet; take one at random, roll
it - into the horse-shoe size, and
you can bend it double when cold ,
without injury .to its texture. The
trade concur ' in saying that this im
provement is marked in all_qualities of
iron used, but it is also true that the bet
ter quality of the pig is seen in the still
better character of the product. "Blood
will tell," remarked another eminent iron
master of this city, who is Preparing his
- machinery to adopt this new process; the
better the ores, the better the bar. But
there is no ore, now used by any in the
trade, no matter how inferior, which does
not, as far as known, yield good iron
under this process. Let us , here re
mark that the first experiments"' of
Mr. ELLERSTIAIIBEN were made in the
crucible, and all scientific experience
agrees that the nice results from trials
with such crucibles or retorts, conducted
in a small way and with extra care, are
never realized in subsequent trials of a
practical character. We have reason to
believe, however, that the ELLERSHAU
sEN process actually promises the same
success at the heating furnaces of the
great mill as from the minute crucible of
his earliest investigations.
Range of Ores . Available. We have
said enough to show that the Ellershau
sen process renders every variety of ore
in this Commonwealth available for the
economical production of good iron. `lt
will create a demand for a vast but hith
erto neglected amount of our mineral
wealth. It frees our' iron-masters meas
urably from any need for procuring ore
from distant and eipensive sources. It
not only offers a remunerative develop
ment for all our ores, but it will put the
mill and the blast furnace together side
by side, to Om increased profit of both.
What the Trade ,say. The Ettuasneu
sr.2i process commands an universal ap
probation. It has been carefully inspect
ed here by 'gentlemen from probably every
leading mill in the Union. Not one goes
away unconvinced. The leading mills of
this vicinity are preparing to adopt it, as
at the Sligo works where it will soon be in
the fullest operation. The remarkable sim
plicity of the process, and the liniited cost
of adapting the present style of mills for
its introduction, the marked improvement
in the quantity and quality of product,
and the still more marked shrinkage. in
the total cost of making a ton of iron,
coupled with the increased range of avail
able crude material—all these considera
tions leave but little, if any, choice to the
trade. It is evident that no concern can
afford to be last, in a competition from
which laggards are bound to suffer.
'Those who make iron cheapest'and best,
will have the market. When the trade
shall all have come on to the new basis,
the consuming public will realize their
proper -proportion of the advantage.
Then we shall have, with a larger and
better production, more p;ofit for the mills
and cheaper iron for the million. !
The Juniata Works, pioneers in this
long and bold step forward, have the right
to make 20,000 tons per annum free of
royalty.. This right .seems as fairly
earned as is thd success, for no small share
of which the i genious inventor has been
i
indebted to th e cordial
cordial and judicious co!
operation of these iron -masters, and par
ticularly of Mr. BLAIR, and of the Super
intendent. Mr. ' TATNELL. The attention
and labors of Mess gentlemen have been
assiduously given to secure.the final tri
umph which is now close at hand for

THE LECTURE.'
.•
Mise Anna E. Dickinson at the Acadenay
Last Night.
Miss Anna Dickinson, perhaps more
than any lady prominently before tie
American public, deserves the proud dis
tinction awarded brains, tact, talent and
enterprise. - Through merit and applica
tion, she has won her way into favor and
attained a prominence in politics and lit
erature seldom achieved by a represen
tative of the weaker sex. Her ability as
a lecturer capacity as a talker, and pow
er as a thinker, render her the literary
phenomenon of the age, and combine to
give her standing and place among the
piore eminent scholars and orators
America has produced. She has ever
been a favorite in these communities;
her name has been revered and respect
ed, and in its own strength would crowd
any of our commodious halls if attached
to a lecture announcement. From a
knowledge of her popularity, we
were not the least surprised last even
ing to find the Academy of Music
thronged to its utmost capacity with an
audience conspicuous for brilliancy and
intelligence. Every seat was occupied
in the parquette, dress circle and first
gallery, by attentive listeners, and,
taken altogether, the occasion was a fit
ting ovation to the talented lady at the
rostrum. •
The subject of the lecture, "A Struggle
For Life," was one full of meaning and
was handled with'decided ability. We
need not attempt, in the limited space at
our disposal, to furnish those readers who
were deprived of the pleasure of par
taking in the .literary feast afforded,
anything more than &faint idea of the
subjeit matter discussed. 'She remarked
that a great deal had been said about wo
man's work. Some may.• perhaps, in- .
quire what need there is for further ar
gument by her upon a subject which has
been thoroughly discussed by the best
speakers in the country. She would tell
them why. It is because she is more in
terested than many of the orators. "Stop
preaching and go to fighting" would be ,
the theme of her discourse. The world. 1
belongs to those who will taki it, say the 1 1
affirmative; but, responds the negative.
It is not for women to take such gifts. It
is not a goo thing for one life to do' the
Work of another life. She did not wish
to blaze in jewels and wear laces, for
which, she I had given no equivalent.
Work is the normal condition of every
human being, and any one denied the
privilege or the means of work withers
and fades. Nay, more; the effort to do
nothing is much harder than the effort
to do something. Walking is a great
deal easier than standing still. It is not
a good thing to release any soal from toil
- and responsibility. In the Malay lan
guage the word for flower and woman was
the same.' Men liked to pluck moss
roses and heliotrope and pansies, and
perhaps daisies and geranium blossoms,
and wear them in their button holes, but
what'of sunflowers and hollyh'ockst The
moss rose or the daisy is carefully

plucked from its garden bed and trans
ferred to the button hole to be' carefully
guarded and shielded from all harm:
and so long as its sweet fragrance and
delicate beauty lasts, all is well,but when
its leaves wither and droop, and its color
is gone, the hand which plucked it is
either placed in pride or shame over the
flower to shield it from public view, or it
is cast aside to be trampled under foot.
Just so is it with woman, and every one
can make the application. Better let the
&peer remain in its, garden bed, grow
ing stronger day by day in its conflict
with the wind and rain, and shedding its
fragrance upon the free air, able to take
care of and maintain itself. Invalidism
is a characteristic of American women.
Compel the, hands and brain of a man to
lie idle, and he would soon fall heir to
innumerable diseases, or rear a numer
ous progeny of distempered Vancies. A
privileged class could not be maintained
in a rep ublican community without the
contagion spreading to other classes
where it should not. It is a two-edged
sword, inflicting wounds alike upon the
victim and the one who holds the weapon.
Miss Dickinson stated that the press
and a large portion of the public bad pur
sued her with various epithets as a man
hater. That depended on the man. But
she would advise her masculine friends
never to take a wife unless pure and un
selfish love were given and returned 'at
the same time. The shallow arrays lof
sophistries which the Hollands and the
Todds present about woman's vocation
were thoroughly riddled and ruined.
Their empty logic stalks with the as
sumption that only that class exist who
cau quietly enjoy home and expect mar
riage. Miss Dickinson showed that the
question is not whether women shall
leave homes to combat with the world,
but whether being out, those women
shall have work, choice of work, and
: fairly paid work.
The root of the. evil is in the training,
or rather in the want of training. True
philanthropy would dictate the estab
lishment of training schools in every
home, and in every town, and in every
city for the cultivation of " talents devel
oped by girls for whatever trade or pro
fession she may be adapted by nature.
Society trains to look upon labor as any
thing but ennobling. The professions
are overcrowded with young men by the
same demands of society. Make work
honorable and respectable for women,
and all decent work will be honorable
for men: The underpay of women was
condemned. It was the consequence of
overcrowding the field of labor, In the
majority of cases a man would prefer to
labor. Boys and girls were differently
taught upon the subject of work; the one
learned that work was an honor; the
other that it was a disgrace. The first
named was trained to do his work as a
man should do it. The girl grows to
womanhood, and she has no time to ac
quire a trade. She must do her work
Without preparation, and consequently
without skill, unless she turns to the
needle. The question might be asked
why these women did not change their
garrets for kitchens? They were not
prepared for the life of servant girls; and
even if they were they would be met
with thousands of foreigners, and the
:misery would be but changed from one
'class to another. ,
The lecturer did not lay all the blame
at the door of man, but in earnest, im
passioned words, which thrilled to every
heart, appealed to woman to be just to
herself. She advltied the women of
America to take the matter into their,
own hands; to cultivate their own brains;
to learn how to do their own work well
and skillfully. Badly done work de
served nothing but underpay. She
would not have the women make roads,
and shoe horses, and plow lands, but she
would send into those employments men
who were now filling positions that could
be occupied by women. The doors of
colleges should be thrown wide open to
women; let them enter and become
skilled physicians, and four-fifths of the
women would prefer to pour into their
ears the story of their weaknesses rather
than tell them to the young men that are
annually thrown upon the world from
medical schools. And so it was with all
the professions. Women should have
free access to them. The might become
ministers and lawyers and fill any pro
fession they might choose. The idea was
ridiculed that respectable women would
be insulted in new spheres of work and
action.
The scarifying of the Governnent
clerks at Washington was fearful in its
quiet severity. With her unsurpassable
sarcasm she depicted the men who,
while petitioning for twenty per cent.in
crease of their salaries, not only did not
ask it for the woman clerks in the Treas
ury Department, but expressly reques
ted that it should not be extended to
them. At the time these men were re
ceiving from $1,200 to poi) a ycax,
no woman had more than $9OO. These
gallant creatures are mostly single men,
spending their all upon their precious,
beloved selves; these sixty-live brave
women are, all but eight, widows of
brave men who fell In battle, with chil
dren to support; and against such wo
men such men have circulated the most
infamous stories, to drive them from
their places.
The effect of bad training upon girls is
Only too apparent. Woman are strug
gling, striving and only ask of earth a
grave. From want to starvation, from
starvation to shame and death are the
steps taken. Many painful incidents of
working women's life in cities were re
cited, and some things rarely presented
to- men and women in public were
boldly and delicately urged; among
these the touching story of Hester
Vaughn; which has excited such - a
warmth of sympathy throughout the
land. The lecture closed with a perora
tion of beautifully worded sentences re
specting the time when justice should be
done to the sex.
The lecturer was frequently interrupt
ed with storms of applause and at the
conclusion was made the recipient of a
hearty expression of gratification on the
part of the audience. •
—Elsewhere will be found the adver
tisement of Miss. Dickinson's book,
•'What Answer?" by Fields, Osgood et
Co., Boston. This work is very popular,
and is having a large sale. It lan story
of thrilling interest, and deals with im
portant questions new agitating the pub
lic mind. The numerous friends of this
gifted young woman would do well to get

WHAT ARE YOU TAKING!
Probably two-thirds of the adult population of
the United States indulge, more or less, in bar
room stimulants. Rot alcoholic beverages are
habitually Imbibed by thousands of people in the
„winter months to "keep out the •cold." The al
coholic material of all these drinks is more or
less potsonota, and Is rendered all the more del
eterious In consequence of being taken warm. •
Avoid these dangerous excitements. Shun, as
you would shun the deadliest drug, all tavern.
attractants. They paralyze the dluestlon, con
:est the liver. disturb the natural selon of the

idnevs, Irritate the bowels, shatter the nerves.
and impair the-reagon.
The operation of HOSTETTER'S STObrACH
BITTEKS is diametriCally opposite to this.
They spur no organ into unnatural activity: but
they tone and .regulate all. If the digestion is
feeble, they awaken the doimant energies of the
stomach, and promote the work of assimilation.
If the liver Is sluggish and torpid. they regen
erate it. If the kidneys fall to perform their
functions rroperly, they are regulated without
being irritated. If the bowels are constipated,
the peristallc action is moderately increased,
and the discharges become natural and regular.
If the nerves are tremulous ' they are strength
ened. If the mind Is clouded, the BITTERS-tend
to diaper- e the gloom.
These are the effects of -the great tritattAxtu
TONIC AND C "enitcrivx., which for twenty years
has teen a staple medicine In this country, and
the demand for which steadily increases in all
parts of the Western Hemisphere,
It is not offered as a beverage, but ass mrtifeine;
nor will it ever be used to satisfy a craving for
alcoholic stimulants, because its effect is to cbeek,
not to create, a false appetite for excitants. The
champions of temperance will do well to mark
this peculiarity, and to recommend it as the only

.THE SOUND OF THE LUNGS;
One or the most aoeurate ways of determining
whether the lungs are Ina healthy or diseased con

To those experienced in this practice it becomes
as plain an Imre: to the state of the lungs, and
DI well known to the operator as are the laces of
his most intimate acquaintances. The belierthat
long standing coughs, and diseases of the lungs
upon which they are dependent, are Incurable.
are fast becoming obsolete. One great adyantage
to be gained from this advance in mettles' knowl
edge is tte earlier application of those wire be..
come afflicted with those diseases to some one -
competent to Allard relief. The error which bad
taken hold of the public mind in regard to the
curability of consumption. or rather aon-curabil
ity, is fast becoming obliterated, and it Is well
that it should be so, not that persona sliould lose
that salutary fear which would make th-m apply
for a timely remedy, but that all might be twin

-the delay in these cases that fills us with ap;
Prehension and alarm, for if every one would
make timely application of DR. KEYSER'S

few cases would go so far as to become irremedia
