(MEM In February, 10.47, , tw0 yctung, skillful, and energetic mechanics, Joht*B. and William W. Cornell, began the manufacture of iron• work for building purposes, in a little wooden shop at No. 143 Centre-st., with but a single assistant and a capital of $l,OOO. Since that period, and especially in the last decade, the use of iron in architecture has not Only ad vanced with rapid strides, but the Cornell brothers, by dint of integrity, enterprise and perseverance, have attained both to liberal fortune and to an honorable place among "artisan princes." To-day their active capital is over a million dollars, and their pay rolls bear the names of 000 workmen, whose wages amount to more than $12,000 weekly, while the Insignificant foundery of 1847 has grown into a fine, five•story Iron-fronted building, and expanded till it covers two-thirds of the whole block. Moreover; the expansion of their business compelled In 1800, the em ployment of extensive founderi e and shops . 4 i i on Twenty-fifth and T wenty-sixth-sts., and the lease, within the last six months, of the entire square bounded by Twenty•sixth•st. and Twenty-seventh-sts., Eleven-ave. and the North River. To-day the Cornell " Iroa- University" covers eight acres, furnishes regiment of mechanics with constant employ ment, and turns out every year thonsands of tons of iron work. As early as 1847 but little iron was used in building, and the $1.500 worth of work furnished by the Cornelis for Samuel How. land's store on Broad-st. was the largest ar chitectural iron undertaking of the season. About. this time the question of using wrought iron girders in buildings was agitated and in 1848 the Government architect, then building the Custom-House at Savannah, w rote to the Cornelis, asking if they could make wrought iron girders not more than two feet in depth and yet strong enough to sustain an estimated weight 01'40,000 pounds. Hope less as this seemed, the return mail carried an offer to furnish the girders, and the work was successfully accomplished. Next year similar girders were furnished for Bowen & McNtunee's extensive dry goods store on Broadway. In 1810, the idea of making buildings fireproof by the use of wrought iron beams and brick arches, began to be' enter tained, and the Cornelis proposed a plan and executed the work for a structure of this kind for the Atlantic and Sun Mutual Insurance Companies. During the next two years they supplied the iron for the Seaman's Savints Bank, and the brownstone Court building in the Park. In 1853, Paul N. Spofford and others erected a large fire-proof sugar refinery, for which the Cornelis furnished $130,000 worth of work, that being the largest amount of iron ever pot into one building In lids country up to that time. During this. anti the five following years large quantities of work were furnished by the Cornelis for a variety of buildings in the city. Iron had now come to be recognized as a necessary building material, wherever first-class work was desired, and large orders came pouring in. In 1860 the firm was principally occupied in erecting A. T. Steward's store on Tenth. st., which is built entirely of iron; and iii 1860 and lust limy mum extensive contracts won vi.m. B. Astor and Clallin, Mellon & Co., besides supplying the iron for the Third-ave. Rail road Depot. In 1802 and 1863 large amounts of iron work were furnished to the United States Navy Department for war vessels, in cluding especially theoturrets and turret ma chinery for the ironelads Miantonomah anti Tonawonda. In 1805 the firm supplied more than $325,000 worth for the Stoek Exchange, including the burglar-proof sides with compli cated locks for the safety-deposit vault. Among the principal structures for which the Cornelis have filled large contracts during the last three years are the Herald Policing, the Park Bank, the New York • Life Insurance Building, and the line stores erected on Broad way ty Arnold & lloyt and Lake & McCree ry. The new five-story lire-proof store on Unior-square and Fifteenth-st., which the Cormils hove nearly completed for Tiffany & Co., yin probably be the finest specimen of iron architecture in the United States. There are u?ward of 16,000 distinct castings in the walls aid inside columns of this building, vary ing in weight from half a pound to more than three tons, and including beautiful Corin thian iapitals, each composed of more than 70 disinet pieces. The firm is also now em ploye' in getting out the large amount of iron work •equired for Mr. Stewart's Grand Hotel for wtritinewomen on Fourth-ave. and Thir ty-seond-st. The Cornell founderies on Twenty-sixth-st., when iron is converted into an admirable substiude for brick and marble, are in a mal odorant manufacturing locality abounding in goats and ragged urchins. The principal establshment covers 35 city lots, extends 425 feet of Twenty-sixth-st.. and runs 200 feet acrosithe block to Twenty•fifth-st., on which it bast frontage of 450 feet. This area in cludem high-walled yard for the storage of stack of pig.iron 'and old "flasks" (rough, woods boxes in which molds are made), a Coragated lion shed containing heaps 01 moldhg sand, and a compact cluster of 18 bricidmildings of various sizes, some of them latelyrected, anti others worn, battered and amok-stained. The work is, included in four depannents—pattern-making, molding, chip pingond finishing. Th3y or forty skilled pattern -makers occu py thaw° tipper stories of the main building on Tenty-sixth-st., and a dozen or more ' flask-takers work in a good sized shop on the I growl floor. About a thousand feetof spruce, I wort' $3O, are daily converted into flasks, and aboutloo feet of the best white pine, worth $7O [thousand, are also consumed for patterns. Efil pattern is varnished with a mixture of (kohl and shellac, and, after being used Is storetaway with the 50,000 or 60,000 others whiclhave already been accumulated. The I finer awed patterns are made by a firm of I wotuisorkers in Centre-st., and in these cases lone tithe first castings is frequently used as a pattn. The pattern department in a "house 'work foundery is .one of unusual difficulty 1 and iportance, and the Cornelis have invest ed atrast a quarter of a million dollars in this brans alone. Thiron used In moulting is a mixture of the bit Scotch and American pig, about two fifrintreing of foreign manufacture. Very little rap-iron is used. There are two furna ces Ali a combined melting capacity of about 65 tau. The 200 molders begin Work in the morng,. and about 3 in the afternoon the blast is turd on and the molds are soon filled. The moidg material is moist "green sand," which is clnper, though somewhat more risky than the 4 , sand and loam ordinarily employed. As urly all the castings are hollow an Mill sualumber of "cores" alt necessary. These are ale of nine parts white beach sand, with one Sit damaged flour, baked in ovens over nigl The heaviest castings are the huge anti tint ldy columns or "shells", which some. tim eigh six or eight tuns. About 20 night ban are employed to take out the castings. Tit ext morning a new set of hands clean 1 off sand, "chips" the surface of each piece wit chisel and a long handled hammer, em ha it with a fire-brick, and applies a coat of eral paint. The catmint' are promptly cut down to the required length in large, self feeding, double-headed lathes, and any requir ed planing is done. A dozen powerful cranes and several heaVy two-wheeled trucks are used for moving the more cumbrous castings. In the finishing department, the work is fitted and fastened together with bolts and screws, just as it is to be set up in the building, so that sometimes a whole front, 23 feet wide and five stories in extent, lies on the floor. The most interesting room in this department Is one in which a dozen men screw together and paint the abaci, the hollow "shells" anu the elabo rate leaves constituting the Corinthian capitals. Iron for building purposes is more costly thnn brick and less expensive than marble, but the advantage in its favor increases in exact pro portion to the degree of ornamentation. Iron architecture is still in its infancy, and no reason can be given why this metal should not. be cheapened and perfected into one principal businesSbuildingmaterial, at least in cities and large towns. A steam engine, with two 80-horse power boilers, furnishes the motive power for the various machines In use. The establishment is also supplied with a steam pump and shun dance of hose. Strikes have been unknown in the history of this firm, whose workmen are paid by the hour. It requires 12 or 13 hours ! to mold a large column, and the Cornelis get the work all done in one day by culling 'the time a day and a half, and paying for it at that rate. Beside the Twenty-sixth-st. foundery the Cornelis also occupy two lots on the south side of Twenty-fifth-st. as a stable and store house for patterns, four lots on the north side ! of Twenty-sixth-st. as a finishing shop and yard for unfinished iron, and three lots on the same side of the street, east of Tenth-ave., for the storage of finished work. A large shop 200 feet square and one story high has been erected on the block west of Elventh-ave., and the rest of the square, which includes abou 00 lots, Is used as a yard for storing Immens e quantities of miscellaneous iron. The down-town establishment includes ten different buildings, and extends in Centre-st. front No. 130 to No. 141, in Walker-st. from No. 108 to No. 109, and on Elm-st. from No, 87 to No. 93. The main building, one of the finest structures on Centre-st., is 72 feet square, and was built three years ago. There is a first-class blacksmith's shop in the basement, and in the first story are spacious and comfort able offices, an architect's room, and a ware room containing numerous samples of orna mental iron work. The remainder of the es tablishment is mainly devoted to finishing "inside work" and to the manufacture of rolling-shutters, patent lights of glass and iron, and fire-proof safes and vaults. J. B. & W. W. Cornell, whose achievements have thus been briefly glanced at, were sons of a Long Island farmer, and their career has been marked not only by invariable promptness in the execution of work but by a large and un . ostentatious benevolence, especially through the channels of the Methodist. Church of which both are leading members. W. W. Cornell is also President of the New-York City Sun day•school and Missionary Society of the M. E. Church.—.N: Tribune. Tin: TIRELESS BRAIN Our brains are seventy-years clocks. The angel of life winds Omit up once for all, then closes the case, and gives the key tnto the hand of the towel of the resurrection. Tic-tac!' tic-tae I go •the wheel's of thought; our will can not stop them they cannot stop themselves; sleep cannot still them, mad ness only makes them go faster ; death alone can break into the case, and. seizing the ever-swinging pendulum which we call the heart, silence at last the clicking of the ter rible escapement we have carried so long be neath our wrinkled forehead. If we could only get at them, as we lie on our pillows and and count the dead heats of thought after thought,and image after image,jarring through the over-tired .organ ! Will nobody block those wheels, uncouple that pinion, cut the string that holds these weights, blow up the infernal machine with gunpowder ? What a passion conies over us sometimes for silence and rest—that this dreadful mechanism, un winding the endless tapestry of time, embroid ered with spectral figures of life and death, could have but one brief holiday ? Who can Wonder that men swing themselves off front beams in hempen lassoes ? that they jump off front parapets into the swift and gurgling seaters beneath ? thatAhey take counsel of the grim fiend who has but to utter his one per emptory monosyllisble,and the restless machine is shivered as a case that is dashed upon a mar ble floor? If anybody would really contrive some kind of a lever that one could thrust in among the worksof this horrid automaton and check them, or alter their rate of going, what would the world give for the discovery? Men arc very apt to try to get at the machine by some indirect system or other. They clap on the bralas by menus of opium, they change the maddening monotony of the rhythm by , means of fermented liquors. It is because the brains is locked up and we cannot touch its movements directly, that we thrust these coarse tools in through any crevice by which they may reach the interior, alter its rate of going for a while, and at last spoil the machine. —Hamm APPRENTICE LAW.—An indentured appren• lice in Philadelphia, who ran off" from his employers because things didn't suit him, has had the alternative placed before him by Judge Paxson, before whom the case was heard, of returning to his master or going to jail. The judge closes a long argument as follows: All I decide now is that the defendant must return to his service. If having done so, his employers refuse to pay him the weekly wages stipulated in the indenture, or fail to give him the schooling to which he is entitled, or to properly perform any other covenant which they are bound to peform ; let hint resort to the law for redress. It is strong enough to secure loin all his legal rights. But he need first he taught the salutary lesson that it is not fin• him to sit in judgment upon his own case, and vindicate his supposed right by an unlaw ful act. The law will not permit this in any case. It would be most pernicious and sub versive of proper authority on the part of mas ten if apprentices were permitted to decide their supposed grievance in this summary manner. And it would be most unfortunate for the apprentices themselves. If they would make useful men and law abiding citizens, they mutt begin by exhibiting their respect for law and order in the days of their youth. If not cultivated then, they will never learn the lesson later In life. All I decide now, Is that this apprentice must go hack to Ids em ployers. He has the option between that and mprisonment.

ACTION OF TIIE LEGISLATURE IN THE SCIREITE CASE. Mr. Mumma called up the Governor's mes• sage vetoing the bill allowing writs of error in cases of murder and voluntary manslaughter, Intended to rover the case of Dr. fichoippe, which was again read to the Senate. Mr. Mum ma spoke at length in favor of the bill and against the veto. He believed that the Supreme Court ought to have all the power of the lower court in reviewing the evidence. Beyond all doubt the case of Dr. Schappc bail been Wag gled up. The evidence of poison was by no means certain. The medical profession of the world had pronounced the evidence entirely insufficient. This ease Was about to form n terrible precedent for all time, and demanded a thorough and able review of all the facts and points of law. This man should have .a fair chance at least for his life. Ile differed with the Governor most decidedly, I e•iIl wash lily bands front the blood of title victim, Paul Schirppe.• When the Governor signs his death warrant the blond of the victim will he upon his hands. Mr. Lowry thought this Senate had bees 'slaves to the Executive. Twice had the Sen ate attempted to do this act of] notice, and they failed. I is high time that we should look this thing and the Executive in the face, and how down this cruel veto. The Executive says, " I have drawn my sword, and there is no delay." He (Lowry) believed that Jerry Eaton was Innocent. Nearly all the neighbors believed him innocent. Both branches of the Legisla ture had appealed to the Executive tier delay. but he would not be moved. Ile vetoed the bill allowing commutation of his death sen tence. Nothing but blood, blood, blood would satisfy the Governor; but he (Lowry) would here and now wash his 111111(IS of the blood of Paul Sclmppe. Mr. White opposed the veto and sustained the bill. The Governor seemed to think that It was framed fore special purpose. lie (White) had not thoughtbf ficheeppe in this connection, saxe that ho believed the case to be one of great doubt. The Governor had pronounced the bill unconstitutional, but he could not see wherein it was unconstitutional. This bill did not'provide tin second trial before a jury, where the =elides may tint be represented. The Governor had made a clues. tion of expediency of the difficulty In getting the gvidence into the Superior Court. There was no difficulty whatever, and if there was a difficulty in the way it was within the province of the Legislature , to remedy the difficulty. Various remarks were made, among their some by Mr. Wallace, who said it was coney- , ded that the principle of the first section of the bill was Just.. It was said that thin bill would Involve additional cost and the election of ad ditional Judges. Ho did not believe this was, or should be, a matter of &ARA and cents. It was a question of Justice, to which the accused had a right before God and man. In our prisons to-day there are nine men hanging between heaven and earth, simply because no GovernOr has the nerve to sign then:death warrants. Then why should not the Supreme Court review the evidence in these cases, and, do. Justice to the prisoners?

They belong to that highest type of face of which the standard is thought. They are of the order of face that provokes speculation while it repels it. We would give something to know whence conies that subtle thing which has so marvelously incorporated' itself With the physical linea ments/ It may be born of trouble, a trouble that has fastened upon the face, and teased it Into beauty as the wind Makes beautiful-the snowflakes. Trouble there surely has been, for there is no mystery without sadness; and the sad mystery of these faces must have been wrought by the vexing of years. There. are faces that seem wanting in depth, albeit they are full-fraught. Such faces are falsehoods. Yet they, are false unknowingly. They can not speak the mind; the lineaments are of the hardest marble; Nature's chisel has worked dexterously enough its part; but life has failed to penetrate the granite front. It has avenged its incapacity by certain deep but all delicacy is wanting. We miss the luminous effect, the shining of the soul behind. Such faces come upon us rudely, but not with the disappointment of immaturity. The full fruition of a divine art is there; only its coarse fleas blunts our sympathetic perception. Yet we need hot forget that to the cunning eye God is as visible in the rude root as in the rose. Nay, he symbolizes his workmanship by what is false and fair. The scowl of the murderer, the 'greeting of lover's eyes, arc the produc tions of the same art, each exquisitely perfect in its kind. • There are faces that haunt the memory, where met, when encountered, may not be recalled. They stand out from the darkness of night, and fade and faint along the dreams of sleep. You have seen them in the streets, but did not pause to consider them at the . time. There was nothing indeed, so it seem ed, about them to startle you into attention. It is only when they reappear that they sur prise, or alarm, or terrify. There arc faces to be encountered all dis passionate, save In the eyes which burn with the passions that deny their intelligence to the lace. When the wearers of such fleshy masks die, their souls escape through their eyes. They would find them the only outlet. With 'other men the spirit might depart as the per fume departs from the dower. The soul seems to chafe at being pent up within such narrow limits as the eyes. You can see it dilating and contracting upon the keen retina . , as one Who approaches a window to find egress and retires, and returns again and again. There are faces which all men meet, which airmen know, which all men love. When they reappear unto the eye they do not haunt, they soothe. They aro ministering, faces, faces which scent crowned, like a saint, with a halo of light of whose subtle irradiation the heart is alone sensible. In such faces is to be found no personification of the darker emotions of life. The lips and the eyes are genial with a tenderness to which wisdoM has imparted the exquisite refinement of a faint sadnels. Such faces can not offend, neither in their rejections or in their beseeching' ; neither in their gladness when confronting despair, nor in their pelicefullness when opposing anger nor In their love when faceing hate. 'Upon them humanity has stamped its fairest impress. They are not more describable than faces which are weird, or cunning, or intellectual, or haughty, or depraved. But they embody the idealism all thinkers on the Madonna, all painters of Charity, all dreamers of some sweetest achievement of God, strive to realize. Nor let them be held impossible because of this faultlessness of expression; or non-exis tent because they are rare.—Edueafionnl Miwazinr.

LIAR DONE ENOI7OII. -A revolutionary soldier was running for Congress, and his op• tionent was a young man, who had "never been to the Wars," and It was the custom the old revolutionary to tell of the hardships be had endured. Said he : " Fellow citizens : I have fought and bled for my country. I helped to whip the British and the Indians. I have slept on the field of battle with no other covering than the canopy of heaven. I have walked over the frozen ground till every footstep was marked with blood—" Just about this time one of the sovereigns, who nod become greatly interested in his tale of sufferings walked up in front of the speaker wiped the tears from his, eyes with the cx• tremity of his coattail, and Interrupted hint with : " Did you say you had font the Britifili and this Injins 1" "Yes, sir." . "Did you say you slept on the ground, while serving your country, without any kiver 1." " I did." " Did you say your feet covered the ground you walked over with blood " I did," said the speaker exultingly: "Well, then," said the sovereign, as he gave a sigh of tearibl emotion, "I guess vote for t'other fellow ; for I'll ho blamed if you ain't done enough for your country."
