plttiDg tbcae laat momeatt of the Expoiirioa of
ItV f. Soon it will beaaiopg the ttings that erf re.
Fiel?re?, statuce, invent iona, fabrics of srt and in
daatry, will be dissipated Preparations for the
yrsod aerrmony of dittnbntion of prizes arc rap
Mly advancing. Already the nave of the Palsce
af Indnstry is cleared of its trophies and vitriaea
tad It beirg formed into an amphitheater for the
aeeemmodation of thirty thousand spectators.
The presence of the Emperor and Empress, the
Imperial family and Commission, the dignitaries of
Chsrch and State, the honored exposents, the
orchestra, the invited guests, the uiagnidcent deco?
rations af pictures and tapestry, the solemnity af
the eaeasion?all eombined, promise a fete ef ex
traordiiary interest. The great eoceert oa the
following day, and the succeeding reeeptiens, will
tive*? trscefal fioale to the speeaele in which all
the world h..s been ao long interested. A certain
fcbxc muat elapse after ita conclusion before Pans
aaa revert to the even teeor of its ways. Crowds will
wasserte, and things of beauty vani.b; yet footprints
IM images of their pretei.ee will remain. Marks
of fast living will long show themselves on those
who have lately frequented Paris. Ibe rivalry of
excellencies, the slight preponderances in the bal?
ances ef merit, the forced caloire of taste, the
atimalanta to luxury, the voluptuousneaa of ex
pease, the necessity for criticism, discernment
aad aice distincti n which the Exposition has fes?
tered?all these have intoxicated the spirit of the
Cesent, and must long agitate future society,
e st all never be what we were?s uiplicity has
kern ?eared? our minds will be i.r a time cramped
by indigestion of beauti-s and wonders. The
judgment is strangled b* cramming?the wits are
giddy with whirling among such varied objects of
attraction. Repose and detraction alone will en?
able as to hold fast that which is good, and to re
oaver from the evil which such unusual excite?
ment has produced. Meantime other historians
aad better chronicler* will have brooded over tnia
ahaaa of the Exposition, and have vivitied it with
distilrt creatir n? for the permanent habitation of
year and posterity's interest. My pen aud I re
tarn to eWuie subjects, and with unfeigned
tleasure continue our quiet walks around the
ived and swsrming capi'al. True Paris is the
vital, palpitating center of our interest, the heart
and blood of the body which contains it. Yet
Paris is complete only in connect-on with its en?
virons. There is sn endless charm in the girdling
koritoa of the city. Piesent interest and the
majesty of past history rest on the crown of hills
which encircles it. Urett etents hover ever over
the chosen center, and have their resting places
tra its every pinnacle and paving-stone; yet like
birds of capricious wing often have they lighted
far oat on aome suburban dependence, and nested
themselves in ita charming souvenirs and immor?
tal histories. Puch a favored spot ia St. Cyr.
Ibe place is now a parallel with oar West Point,
bat a deeper interest than that attached to its mil
Mary school, clings to the foundations of this iosti
tatioo in a recess of its ehurch thi visitor finds
? humble monument with this inscription:
"Cl-all Mtdteie da MaiaUaaD 16M5? ;7I9."
This ia all that now recalls at St. Cyr the royal
ktatltution of St. Louia.
The monument beara the date ef ita erection,
1K56. The desecrationa of the Remlutioa are
graven here. The remains of the illustrious
Frsncoise d'Aub'gne, the poor Proteatant
orphan, the virtuous wife of Scarron, the cob
tsJaate and honored companion of Louia X >. V , the
eaiet instructress of 8?. Cyr?all that could die of
Madame de Maintenon?waa buried in too choir of
bar beloved church, and the place thua honored
was long the sacrtd ahrine at which succeeding
novices strengthened tbeir faith and courtge to
assame the rigor of their vows. The iaoatios of
D3 tore the embalmed Body from ita first sacred
resting place, and after covering it with indigni?
ties, buried it in the common cemetery. After toe
restoration of Catholic worst ip the remains of
Madame de Main tenon were a^ain exhumed, but
with religioua pomp, and placed in one of the
eoarts of the establishment. But the profanations
destined to her uafortuna e mortality were not yet
ooBtummaif d. Her dust was the sport of fortune,
oa her hfe had been. Her chericbed institution
bad keen wreeked on the stortnv sea of the Revo
lotioB. It Mit passed fromconvert to college, and
again to a military school, the first order of whose
oo a i man dan t was, to destroy the toiuti of tbe
" faaatic that revoked the edict ot Nantes." Again
her bones were removed and placed iu a box which
far thirty yeara had ita place in the garret or store?
rooms of the present military school lo I-.'?? tbe
fosg dUhonored relics were inclosed in oak and
placed in tbe present monument. " Vanity of vani?
ties '" whispers every association around the
Bumble tomb ef the successful and honored rival
of the Duchess de la Valiii re, and of Madame de
MoDtetpan.
Those who have read La Yallee's ' Histoirc ua
"la Muison Kobalt dt St. Car,'' published about
two years since, are already familiar with that
model of Pensions, and to otbers a sketch of the
Bsttitutisn from that most charming volume may
act be anintereating.
The school at St. Cyr was founded for the pur
C?se of tdocating the daughters of nobles whose
rtuBts had been ruined in the service of Louis
XIV. Tbe Revolution swept away al< that eould
pttish of so noble an institution. Itt principles
lave sinee been revived and are partially carried
oat at the present day in the Imperial school of
81 Denis for the education of daughters of indi
goat members of the tarien of Hoaor. But the
arcs*at institution lacks the distinction winch tbe
mteiligent and far-seeing policy of Madame do
Maiateaon gave to its ancient mode). Its teachers
are oo long? r nuns ot the noblest blood of the
Aogustan age of Prance; its pupiio are n<> longor
stimulated to the highest emulati n by piout devo?
tion to tbeir sovereign and patron. There is no
Bariae to prepare their private dramas, no Mad?
ame do Sevigae to exult in an invitation to their
theatrici-.ls, no Louis \l\ to applaud their per
ist man ees. A halo of royal patronage crowned
ft. Cyr. Ita school was baaed oo tbe purest prin?
ciples and continued under the guiding preseace
aad writings of the clearest-minded woman of the
time Madame tie Main tenon was to St Cyr what
Mary Lyon has been to llolyoke, though the latter
mast have borrowed many ideas from tbe former,
or else have been gifted with the same inspirations
ask et a century and a half before had impelled
Madame oa alairrtenon to action. Mary Lyon felt
the need of an institution for the thorough eduea
Ajen of dauahtera of families without fortuae.
Madame de Maintenon desired to prepare for aelf
sapport and u.elulueaa daughters of noblen ?hose
fortunes had Been ruined iu their country's ser
aiee. Manual labor, combined with religious
eoltore and mental development waa the dominant
hit a of both. The life ot Mary Lyon is too well
known in America to need quotation hero.
La Vallee'e " Uiatory of St Cyr." exhibits that
rt of the life or Mme de Maintenon which may
most aseful and instructive to thoae eeoupiad
with the female odaeation of our own country,
this work is interesting, not only oo account of the
now light it throws oa the h>use ot St Louis, and
the excellent bints on education which it embodies
bb the correspondence of Madame de Mainteuoa,
but It dissipates prejudices which cetemporary and
kater historians had attached to her memory, and
throw* a eobdned religious light on the latter days
ad Laai* XIV., whom we are habitually inclined
to toaatdor a atarvelously accomplished heathen
god. Madame da Maiuteaon subdued and chaateoed
the Java of Versailles aad achieved his conversion.
St. Cyr perfected his Ckristuva edacati >a,and was
the recompensing solace of his declining glory and

mary idea of Madame de Maintenon waa to afford
mean* of education ta those wboae youti waa like
her own She bad been poor herself and couid
?Mi in?! re with the need* and desires of the itn
Juverished nobles, et Cyr was tbe place, then,
or her cBtablisbmrnt. it was beneath the shadow
of the tbroae, less than a league from tbe palace,
and computed within the Fark of Versailles
MsBssrd was the architect of the build<nss, and
no expense or pains was spared in their construc?
tion. Madsine de Maintenoa framed the constitu?
tion of the Unu>e of Bt I?uis. Tbe Bishop of
Chartrta, the Pen JaC haise, made chaoses aud
adcirioBB. Racine and Boileaa corrected ita style,
and the Pope approved the whole Toe King- giro
most liberal letters patent to the institution, and
reminded Kac?ne aid Boileau that its foundation
wat ?n event too remarkable to be emitted in the
details of the history of hia reign 1 he ina'allaM >n
is tie new building* to. k place Aug I,
Madame de Mait>t?non, oo entering, remarked:
" What gives me pleasure in entering theae walls
' is that here I see my retreat and my tomb.
" May tbia establiahmeBt endure to long a* Pranee
" endures, aid France at long as tbe world. This
" is my desire, my passioo, the depth of my heart."
Daring the first years of the school M ne. de
Maintenon, though far advanced in age, was obliged
to turn ber btnd to all the duties of the institu?
tion, lier time was divided between Versailles
BLd 6t. Cvr?much the larger part devoted to tbe
latter. " Besides," said she. "nothing htSt,Clf
"teems to me small, imponnDe. or disagreeable,
" I am cheerfully its superintendent. I wotiH with
"all ii y heart be the servant of our community of
" teachers, if by that means I could form tbem
" so as to be able to do without me." Tbe zeal
and devotioa of Et Faul breathe in all her
writiigs. hhe is found often at St. Cvr from ??
in the morning to t> at night, instructing the
teachers, supervising the elaasea, correcting ac
counta, caring for the sick, washing, aod combing
the hair of the convalescent and little fir It; doing
all for those under her charge as an example to
those who should later take her place.
Shortly after the installment at St. Cyr, vidibj
comnif need. All the princes came one after the
o'her to admire " the new foundation of Louis
"theOreat.'
The children of Mme. de la Valli?'re, then
Louise de la Mitericorde, came in turn, followed
by Mme. de Mo&tespan, who conceived the strange
caprice of contemplating the creation of her
rival. She afterward often visited the institution
and took part in tbe religious instruction of tbe
gills, and it was here that she was confirmed and
took ber convent vows.
Ibe Queen Marie Therese had presented the
monastic vail to La Yalliere at Val de Grace, and
at St. Cyr the second wife of Louis.XiV. waa
vMu . is of the confirmation of hia aecond famous
mistress.
Imposing ceremonies and religious pomp at?
tended tbe first visit of the King to the house of
St. Louis, and if we may believe the traditions
preserved ever after in the house, it was on this
occssiob when tbe King entered the garden that
three hundred voices intoned a prayer to his praise.
I give the original words, because an interesting
discussion bsngs thereon:

according to the same tradition Handel, having
heard the song during his visit to -t Cyr in 17*21,
copied it for (icorge J., of Kurland, an<* hence tbe
famoua " God Save the King " The English, on
the other band, pretend that the House of St. Cyr
borrowed 'be sir from Handel for the praise of
Louis XIV ?a supposition improbable, as the En?
glish King aas a heretic and enemy of tbeir patron
atid besides, the memoire ef the community affirm
that both the worda and air were sung at the first
visit tf the King, u 1<>W6 ?and Handel waa born
in 1686.
lhe firat design of the founders of St. Cyr was,
that it ahould be an matitution entirely different
from the existing botnea of education?tbe Con
venta. The girls were permitted to read innocent
Sbd agreeable book*?tbey were taught letter
wiitins after the noble and gallant stales of Voiture
aid Balzac?they were incited to converse on ele- |
vated tubjecta?they were habituated to distin?
guished maiiDera, and to a noble grace which In?
cluded modtaty- ttey were taught not to despise
but en tbe contrary to cultivate their beauty,
" which is also," said Madame Maintenon, " a
gift of God." In tine, St. Cyr was destined to
continue tbe traditions of those illustrious salons
whose piety and elegant manners were equally cul?
tivated.
" To lead our girls to virtue by noble sentiments
" should be the dominant idea of the education of
"St Cjr," said she whom Fenelon nan et" wisdom
speaking by the month of grace."
Impelled by a detire to cultivate her pupils in
style and language, Kacine was invited to prepare
a poem combioiog piety and morals, in wbi?h
music might be mingled with tbe recitation, and
the whole rendered entertaining to the school.
Hence the origin of " Esther,"?whose presents
tion formed an important era in tho History of
St. Cyr, and introduced -.hose faults winch neces?
sitated the most rigid reforms in its system of edu?
cation. '_At Revoir.

INDIAN TREATIES?AGRICULTURE.

Bit? Ahajo, New-Mexico, Oct. 13, 185."?.
Since my last from Santa Fe, but little has trans?
pired in Indian expeditiona. The six months' vol?
unteers noder Col. St. Vrain have been disbanded
with high compliments from the Commander of
this Department for their untiring zeal, ateady
service in the saddle and on Indian traila, and
unwavering submission to privations and fafgue.
Id addition to the Indian treaties of peace con.
eluded with the Mezcalero and Mimbres Apaches
?referred to in my former letter? satisfactory
treatits have been procured with one brunch
of tbe Utah tribe-those living in the direction
of Abiqui and with the Jicarillas tirders have
been nun to restore all Indian capt ves, wh*rever
tbey may be, in tbe Territory, and thus to seal the
bond of amity and good will. A treaty of limits
has also been concluded with the Narvajo tribe,
which, it has been surmised, may not be as well
kept *y tbe Mexicaat as by the Indians.
Some persons have vanated the extraordinary
grazing character of this Territory, leading ooe to
suppose that neaT to. or at least not far from, the
Mexican settlements was to be found an abun?
dance of grass for cattle aod sheep. And yet it is
hotoiieus that during the paat Summer the Mexi?
can borders have had their flocks grazing I"" miles
heyotd the valley of the Rio Grande toward the
country of the >avajos, and allowed them to run
on lands In actual cultivation by that tribe.
It is estimated there were 1,500 or 2,000 war?
riors on the treaty srovpd at Laguna Negra,
ten miles beyond Fort DebaDce; and. aa many uf
tbe pnocipel chief* and men were known to have
not been preset t, it ia believed that heretofore
their Bumbera have been underestimate, and aow,
by persona competent to judge, they are set down
at fuU9 10,000 in all. ljnt? recently tbey have
not been supposed to number beyond 3,000 to
6,000.

A HSJT TO j CHICAGO PACKING?
HOUSE,
Wi prwane that Chicago is tho most rapidly grow?
ing city in the whole United States; nowhere, on the
Afar .? side, is business-invested capital enplsyed
at so g1 oat a profit It is tbs principsl emporium for
the whole North-west; and the amoant of rallvay
butiLses done here exceeds sll that a perros could be?
lieve of it Many of the merchants o<vn considerable
vrisel property, wbich v??sel* are principally freighted
with lumber for the supply of the vast interior of the
State from tie various ports on the Michigan shore;
snd a* freights >u'c enormously high this toaeon, there
will be some considerable balances to credit " I'rofit
Slid I.ors " with.
Chicago is rapidly increasing in wealth, notwith?
standing that btr imports are uniformly heavier than
her export*. This apparent anomaly is obviated, in
tbe first place, by tho almost unprecedented eahanoe
??er.t Of real eatate, and eocot d y by the continual ad?
dition to tbe capital in circulat on mace by the many
bntiiese men coming bi reside here. Caicago maw.
factnies almost nothing, except at the American Car
' Works, now in process of construction after tho reeeut
col flag r ?tion?a very extensive manufactory?to?
gether with two or three tanneries, an J here and there
a sn all mscbine-ehrip. We can see no manu acrur
ir g industry. Travel and the transport of goods seem
to supply the main part of the revenue of the city,
and this iiducee the conviction in our minds that
theie i* a natural limit to the future development of
Chicago, which it would be unsafe, without sone fur?
ther manufacturing u.du*try, to attempt to transcend.
Whi e spending a few day* among this purely ona?
niert ial crmmnnity, a friend proposed to u? to pay a
visit to one of tbe beef-packing estab shments of tho
city. This is a b am-h of industry wbich has grown
up bare within the last few years, and alreaoy Coica
go bas cistern' i d all competing cities in the number of
b?cf cattle elanghtered during the season. Both for
quality of the article and tie skill In preserving the
barreled beef, Chicago ranks far ahead of C ncinnati
in ibe Liverpool market rates; and, with the facilities
wbich her rich and expansive prairies afford her for
the fattening of cattle, I should say that there coald
be no definite limit imposed upon her supply of pro
virii ls to all purchasers.
Having recently escaped from New-York?where
every suceeediiig Europesn mail dirs us with the
ihoeh of war, and the demolition and reconstruetion of
armies?it seemed to promiee a great deal of pleasure
her? in the midst of these peaceful prairies?to do
vote bait a day to the inspection of the process that
transforms the bellowing here's into the cargoes of bar?
reled beef that sustain tbe fiery valor of those cistant
embattled hosts. A walk of two mile* southward,

j THE CITY OF NEWARK_No. VII.
MalllsMB IBflbl workh.
It is very en ertaining to li-?en to some of the alder
claes of Newark manufae turersealargingoathe growth
of their favorite t ity, and tracmg that growth with so
much reliah to ita manufactarec. We happened to
meet ore of these, Capt D. B. Bruen, and it was cer?
tainly edityieg and exci'irg to hear him run ever tee
catalogue of the manufacturing interests, tracing the
leathtr business back to Moses Caomba'a vats; the
c othiag buskesa to Garthwaite .V A ling's beging
nisgs; tbe carriage-making to liobert B. Cantiela's
chance jo * of making wagon-wheels for a New
Yorker; the patent-leather and the mal cable iron
business to the fruitful brain of Seth Boydea, and so
on to tbe end of the chapter. The captain is the con
is ting u k between the immerse sto-y of "three new
11 frame houses to be erected this season and the 200
" pairs of shoes to be exp? rted," which Archer GitTerd
tola so complacently to Mr. Rutherford jest a'ter the
Kcvoluticn, and the prevent scale of million* to whi<*h
tbe manufactures in this city have attained. He said,
" Newark is a wonderful place!' and be certainly waa
bs t mnch out of tbe way.
Newark ia indebted to the mgenuity of a aatuntf?
ited Yankee for two of ber leading manufactur e
?tereefs. Many years ago, as wo are told, three
brothers Boy den removed from MassachuseUs to
Ntwark, all of them ingeaions men. Mr. Seth Boy
den thirty years ago turned bis tartile Ingenuity to
searching out the process of japannuv bather. The
art had been carried to high perfection by the
Japanese and Chinamen, aad bad been iatroduved
mto Europe, but the .?e acquainted with the basiness
there rongbt to monopolize it by keeping its prooeasas
secret. Mr Boy dea probably began his ?xperhnentB
as early as IISS, since in :-.?? a smali japanning faa
tory wsa built ia Newark. The art has beea greatly
improved, and maay facilities discovered for aaaaa
factaring japanned c oth and leather since l- .'<?. but
the tssoatial idea which baa given sorb a wonderful
basinets to this city was Mr 8eth Boy dea s.
The same gentleman has invented a very beautiful
additioo to the it cam-erg ine; also a procass by whi h
it is said he can make an excellent imitJtat on af Bas

TV.- r r.i ? " gentleman aleo gave to tbe City of '
Newer* and to thia whole eountry the process of
nakiig ajalBtable ir n?that ia, of synverting pig
iron, c?st in axy torm whatever, iato wrought iron.
The adviiiUgc of tbia iHaaoTrry ie aeen ia the pro
diction *f tbe ?maller ertioles of hardware, tnch aa
a e ased in saddle ax<l harness making, tbe intrieato
?arts r.f ganltxki, telegraph . a f. ??. and parti of a
gteat variety of maehtiary, the reaping and mowing
Bcaehir.fi, ootron and weelen mar.hine-y, melcdeous,
?re praof Mia*, *c. Before thia discovery these ani
< ee were made by Iba ?law prooeae of hammering
tkem eat of wrought inn; and the labor being great
and the prodaot imall. the eoat of 'beae arti lee waa
aeeeriariiy very high. Bat by thia process the pat
ti i i are moUed in aaad vaiy rapidly, aod with far
greater aeearaay than eould be stained witn the
hammer and fi'e. The Matted iron is then run into
ti tse molds. This caet-iroa ware is no w conretted by
Mr. Boy?ons diaeovery into ton. h iron that may
bo tw.ftvu and heat withoat breaking.
Tho history of Mr. Boyden ? d too very is j i?t this:
He coos net pre cid to hare made an origin^ dis?
covery, linee it was some ma! cable iron cas ings Im?
ported 6cm England by Mr. David K. ach ia Iftf
wbich fired his Blind wito the Immease advantagee of
the art, and a desire to discover it. To think with
L m i? to do, and forthwith he be^an a series of M>
periBoonts. Ia ihe eourae of one or two a ears he
attained the desired resa t and opened a f.itindery in
Orange ?tri-1 on the toot where Mr. Daniel Condi , ia
now rarrying en the business In c msec ion with his
brother, Otis Beycen, and David Crockett, he s Ml
afterw?rd started another founcery in the Old Dis?
til ery m High street. This tstabliibmoj: was after?
ward aarned ap. tke fire being a figure of the dis?
coverers pecuniary advantage in the makiog of
ma Wahle iron.
Ar that time a part of tho secret of tbe businett con
siiteo in the soptosed favnt that tho inadeabe castings
cot M only bemsde from Iron produced from die ereof
the Sterling Mine in New-Yotk Tho fact that the
two ' andenei in News k were the only ones in tho
country, and that tue Sterling ore waa the only ore
which uaid re u>ed in making the warea induced
some speculators who had purchased the Sterling
mite el?o to pan base the Newark founderiee and toe
secret discovered by Mr. B <vd?n. This company waa
named 'the Beaton Malieab e Ton Conpany." Iaeir
supposed mor opoly was broken up by the disc ivory
that f? rtain oies io Pennsylvania produced iron which
could be oirvetted bate malleable aa readily aa tho
Bleibt g eie. Tbe Brston company soon sold out their
iatete?'?. and sirce then the business baa oecn carried
on by tJliMM ot Newark
Wboa tbe discovery was first made tint malleable
iron can ings sold re*d>ly a* from :tO to75 cents per
peuad bat bow the price rannen from 9 to 16 cents for
a more perfect article In Newark there are sevea
foundenee for msaing malleable iroo. These estab
itskments selltheir astirles in an unfinished state, that
is to tre plating f 'ories, or those who use them in
manaf ctsrisg articles of which tbey are a part, for
irstaice to the makers cf patent safes, reapers, dec.
They employ from N to 40 hands ia each ot these
establishments. There is another estaBlishment, that
of Stephen B. Sturgis A, Co, manufacturers of
" sadd'ery hardware," wbich baa a fout-dery con?
nected with it, for making snch malleabtn iron as they
plate and finlih in their own ahopa. Tbia frm is do>
log sa extensive and rhriviig business.
O tbe other establishments, that of P. B. a o. H.
Braen is probably the lsrgeet. I s arrangements are
very complete, and in order to give our readers a gen?
eral ideacf the baseness, we may pass through tbo
?Sri? ns rot ms of th s founcery. Tbe pig metal used
is made piixcipally from the Salisbury (Coon.) and
Btetlirg ore?, thete fu'tishing not only a tough arti?
cle bat a smooth surface. In tho first room of the
Brutn fouscory ws found the molders at werk, form?
ing the various articles in sar d. The raw pig iron is
rmlted in an air or refining furnace, whioh removes
from it all its impsrities, and when thus refined is ran
directly into the molds. The castings than made are
placed in a revolvis-g cylinder, and by rabbtng
against esi h other are ccaned of tho molding sand.
This is io a separate room, near the engine. From
th's place they are taken to the annealing room,
where the innea'era trim, seise*, and peek them ia
csst iron boxes, the epaces be'ween tho casting being
fil ed wi h aii oxyd ef i/on. Koch box is then tightly
covered with sn iron plate and earsf j ly luied, i. e ,
aea'ed around with day or tome ether substance, to
keep the fire trcm reaching the eastings. I he boxes
are then placed in the anreaiii ; furnace, art ich in it*
acpearance romewhat resembles an ordinary hea'ing
furnace in a ro lins mill. When the boxes are er?
rat ged trope-ly, the furnace is wailed np tightly and
the heat applied for about seven days, aod the work
is dore. It seems to be a simple process, but if you
will take a stirrup Iron as it is cast from pig iron and
break it as easily as a pipe s'ern, and then one wbich
has been aon'ovd, sad find it tough as a Boras-nail,
you will own that this simple process is one of very
great vslue. It will be seen bow mach depends oo
havixg the right ores, and thea on properly rcfiniiig
the ben. If thete par'a of the process are not cars
fully attended to, an imperfect result is secure J.
In the fire prcof room of the Meesrs. Bruee are de?
posited two theussnd different patten s of articles
manufsctnred into malleable iron castings; among
them the spear used in taking whales, tin boarding
pikes, parts ef gun aad pist I locks; parts of various
cot-cn, woolen, reaping and mowing machines; stir?
rups, hunts, and all sorts of saddlery hardware; parts
of stove aad tin ware parts cf carnages, Ac?giving
an imposing idea of the uses to which the discovery
kss a'ready been applied. Aa to the value of tho
discovsry, it msy be inferred from the fact that It has
reduced tie pricMof many articles one thousand per
cent, beside prods ting a perfectly oxiform article In
aimoat endless snantity. Tbe aiti. 'es thus produced
ean be more easily aad neatly finished, and thsy sen
be rarniihsd at a prioe bat a little above tha value of
the wrought iron, as in the old process it would go to
the blacksmith ta bo forged whh the hammer into the
varioas articles needed. It is, In truth, a very valu?
able and interesting bosineee.
In the seven mal eahle iron founderieaof Newark
asaut two handred hands are employed, who receive
some 170,000 in wages a year, and the annual sales
are absut t r, . o< a year.
THE PI.ATTNO BCSINES8.
To Ills may be added the plating estab ishments,
of which there are several on an extensive scale ia
?'?werk. The imported a-ticles of this burineas still
cam pet a with our own manufactures, but gradually
ws are aoqubing facilities for doing, not only as good
work or.- as < c - ap. Tbe entire tendet -ee of espital

Mates, are to tappiy the boms market with home pro
