154 Che Mining and Srientifiy Press.
A Spicy Comerimunt.— A correspondent of
the Sacramento Union gives the fol owing . notice of one of our fair contributors who
has combined utility with .bernty in-her work :
Dee d'dly the prett est thing on exhibition
in the Fair ts an afghan, work:-d by Miss Addie
Meacham. a young lady only twelve years old,
as I learn from the columns of the Cul. The
Professional Cards. Trades and Manufactures.
Our Patent Ageney.
Tho Parent Acency of the Mining axp Scinntiric Press
lias been signallzed wilh remarkable success during the
pasttwoyears. The importance tothe inventive genius of
this coast of 2 thorough and reliable agcucy for the solicita
tion of Lerrers Parent froin the Enited States and foreign
Governments cannot be ovcr-rated,and the Proprietors of the
question arises in one’s mind as we look at . Psess, feeling the responsibility which rests upon them, and
this wonder of embroidery: If tle young .
lady does this at twelve, what will she do
at eighteen, and what niiracle of needlework
may wo not expect her to accomplish at
twenty-four? Wor twelve is not the noon
of life, however it may indicate meridian on
the dial plates which look down on us from
the church towers. Crowds gather around
this afglian, visiting and revisiting it, Sudiny it
impossible to pass it, and still returning to its
vicinity as though each rose of its composition
had a special magnet spell. here is only
one thing which surnrises me about the work
—not the namo of Joun Pav, but some
other man’s, is embroidered in the corner.
This is of course a mistake which will he remedied when the exhibitionis over—the intention being to mislead people as to whom the
giltis really intended for. I wish I knew the
young lady, so that when she threatened to
give me a piece of her mind for speaking thus
freely abont her in print, I could reply that 1
should prefer a piece of her worsted. I do not
know, though, after all, but that I'd prefer to
wait and have a piece embroidered for me
when the artist had redched the age of eighteen, for of course it wonld be just fifty per
cent. better than the present one, done at
twelve. Bnt long before that time, it is likely
that the whole work of her needle will be selfishly claimed by some individual who will
have taken her for better or worsted, and will
refuse to permit the exquisite talent for embroidery, of which we here have a specimen,
to be exercised for the benefit of others.
Tas Bessemer Procrss——The growing application of the Bessemer system to the prodaction.of steel, with the much larger attention that is being paid now than has been paid
for some time past in tha application of steel
fo uses before assigned to iron, is oceasioning
a growing demand in Sonth Staffordshire.
Mr. Clayton, at Westbromwich, is now erecting eighteen furnaces at the works of the
Dowlais Company, twenty-four at the Barrow
Steel Works, is making castings for six at
Hbobw-Vale, is on with the thirdlot for Messrs
John Brown & Co., Sheffield, and after putting
up twenty-two for Messrs. Cammill & Co., at
the Cyclops Works.in the town, is now putting up six for the Yorkshire Steel and Ironworks of the same firm at Penistone. The
same maker, is also putting up furnaces at the
Lencanshire Steel Works, Gorton Lane, and at
the Gibraltar Works, Newton Heath. These
furnaces are all for smelting iron to make steel
or for the heating of ingots of stecl—London
