NetO Alloys oF Metals. A curioits and
valuablo discovery has just been mado in
tho alloy of metals. A manufacturer of
Paris has invented a composition much
less oxidablo than silver, and which will
not melt at less than a heat treble that
which silver will bear; the cost of it is less
than -Id an ounce. Another improvement
13 in s(col; an Englishman, at Brussels has
discovered a mode of casting iron so l'ia it
flows from tho furnace pure steel, hotter
than the best cast steel in England, and al
most equal to that which has undorgo.io the
process of beating. The cost of this alcel
is only a farthing per pound greater than
that of cast iron. Mining Journal.
THREE GOOD TOASTS.
At a Democratic festival which recently
took place m a neighboring State, tho fol
lowing excellent toasts were given. Pithy
and nointcd, i may bo truly said, in this in
stance, that "brevity is tho soul of wit;"
"Tho only shares that pay a sure divi
dend plough shares."
'Woman she spoils us with an apple,
but atoned for the wrong, by forming a
nair."
"The liberty treo we should be careful,
whilo wo p.'uck lie fruit, not to" break the
branches.1
We have always considered it an unerring
sign of innato vulgarity when we hdar ladies
take particular pains to impress us with an
idea ol their ignorance ot alt domestic mat
ters, save sewing lace or weaving a net to
encase their delicato hands. Ladies by
some curious kind of hocus-pocus, have got
it into their heads that the best way to catch
a husband is to show him how profoundly
capable they arc of dome nothing for his
comfort. Frightning a piano into fits or
murdering tho king's Frenchiinay be a good
bait for certain kind of fish, but they must
bo of that small kind usunlly found in very
shallow waters. The surest way to secure
u good husband is to cultivalo those accom
plishmeiils calculated to make a good wife.
