A NEW METAL.
A year or two ago there was some
thing said about a valuable ore bed
having been discovered in Tioga, Tio
ga county, Pa. There has been but
very little mention in the papers of
tuts important discovery ; and that it
is important, any one who knows any
thing about the Tioga ore, must cou-.
cede. So far this ore is nameless,
though we believe some chemist has
fiven it the name Damascus steel,
he metal itself is white and bright as
silver. It will change both cast aud
wrought iron to steel without melting.
This will not corrode. It is suscepti
ble of a very high polish nor do acids
corrode it. This new ore will temper
a piece of sheet iron converting it in
to a smooth-cutting instrument. This
new ore has puzzled ruosL if not all
the chemists who have assayed or ex
amined it. Hut its great value is con
erally conceded and believed to be
greater than that ot silver or gold
Fluxed witb iron it forms an iuvulu
able metal, susceptible of being work
ed into edL'od tools, table cutlery, all
household metal ware, and all at tides
into which iron is now used, and thou
sands for which it is not. Mr. li. J.
Miller, of this place ha,? some speci
mens of the ore and of tho metal flux
ed with iron, lie also has a keen cut
tiug razor made from the combination.
Mr. Miiler owns a farm, about eighty
acres of which contains a seven foot
vein of this new aud valuable ore.
Thero are over two thousand acres in
the vicinity known to contain it. Mr.
G. W. Hathaway, of Tioga, a chemist,
says he finds "nothing in books, gets no
light from chemists regarding it. It
is a fixed fact that there must bo a
caase to produce this effect. DitJcreut
veins from different crystals, yet all
produce the effect on iron of giving it
the properties of steel, at the aame
ttms removing its oxycising proper
tics and increasing its strength, I
have tested this metal iu so many dif
ferent ways, with such success .in the
results, that I feel coufident, first, that
it is a new combination of metals;
second, that part of them are uukuown
to science, possessing properties super
ior to auy metal now iu use; third,
that if it stands the test iu a large
way as it has si ready done in the
small way, it will revolutionize the
irou manufacture of the world, lis
merits are cheapness, strength, durabil
ity, fiucuess of texture, receiving it
liitrh polish, and uucorrosive. Irou
workers stand aghast and exclulm,,

cherishing those principles and of cul
tivating those habits which will secure
them the confidence and the esteem of
the wise and the good.
A yeunif man may be unfortunate.
he may be poor and penniless, but if
he possessees unbending integrity and
unwavering purpose, to do what is
honest and just, ho will have friends
and patrons, whatever may bo Hie
embarrasments and exigencies into
which he is thrown. Ihe young may
thus possess a capital of which none
of the misfortunes and calamities of
life can deprive theia. -
We have known meu who have sud
denly been reduced from affluence to
penury by some overwbqluiing mis
fortune, w hich they could neither fore
see nor prevent. To-day they were
prosperous; to-morrow, every earthly
prospect was blighted, and everything
in their future aspect of life was dark
and dismal. Their business was gone,
their prosperity goue, and they feel
that all is lost ; but they have a rich
treasury that nothing can take away.
They hose integrity of character; and
this gives them influence, raises up
friends, furnishes thorn with pecuniary
aid, with which to commence once
more, under auspicious circumstances.
We cau not too strongly impress up
on ouyouu men the importance of
abstaining from everything which
shocks their moral sensibilities, wounds
their conscience and has a teudency
to weaken that nice seme of honor so
indispensable to a good character.
"Integrity of character 1" Who ever
possessed it, that did not derive untold
advantage from it? it is better than
riches; it is of more value than dia
monds and all precious stones; and
yet every' roan may possess it. The
poorest may have it, and do power ou
earth can wrest it from them. Young
men, prize integrity of character above
all other earthly gifts. '
MECHANICAL CEMIH.
I know at least a score of men who,
though intelligent enough in other re
spects, do not know how to drive a
nail in a workmanlike manner. As
boys, they were educated with a view
to practicing certain vocations or pro
fessions, and mechanical arts ' wero
completely ignored by their unwise
pareufs or guardians. Now it is es
sontial to every man lawyer, preach
er, physician, merchant to know
some of the principles of mechanical
art, and how to apply them for do
man leads an industrious life without
very frequently seeing the use of such
knowledge. There are certain roe
chanicul rules that apply to almost
every piece of work that man attempts
to perform, from the folding of a pa
per to the matching together of two
boards, and the bungling manner iu
which these things are generally done,
show how little idea meu have of
mechanism. . Then, futhers, whether
city men or country men, hVnp a
workshop for your boys. A small set
of tools, of best material, will not
cost much not more than ten or
twelve dollars at most and they'll
soon return to you thrice their value
in the good accomplished. Where
there is a comfortable workshop sup
plied with good tools, the beys are
seldom known to lcavo upon leisure
days to loaf in the streets. ' If nothing
else is given them to do, they will be
manufactiii'iug wind-mills, sleds,
weather-cocks, hand-carts, etc., and
every hour thus employed adds to
their skill as workmen. Very soon
they will he able to make rainy days
aa profitable as others, repairing or
nutkioK very many important fixtures
about the house. We know boy roe
chauics who have supplied their homes
with brackets, flower-stands, step-lnd-dcrs,
and a hundred and one ether
things convenient and valuable.
A fire less stove, as it is called, is
now being tried by a street-car com
pany in Columbus, Ohio. It is de
scribed as a small iron bex, placed
under the car seat. The box cotitains
the necessary pipes and valves, and is .
filled with water. The heat is sun
plied at the depot. A small upright
boiler, not higher than a man of ordi- -nary
stuture, aud cousuming no more
coal than a largo healing stove, sup
plies the steam. By means of rubber
hose, .the steam is introduced into the
stove through a pipe which project
front the outside of the car. In a,

the water to 21'J degrecsj aud the car
