Tin, added in certain proportions to the copper, gives it the hardness of steel. See alloys, annealing. Copper axes with single and double bits have been found in a tumulus near Chillicothe, Ohio.

not all, came from Persia. Smaller trellises, for garden work, are network frames, for tomatoes peas, and many ornamental climbers; cylindrical, pyramidal, columnar, or fan-like trellises for climbers. Special devices are formed for permanent ground-sockets with shifting poles. For upper structures, hinged so as to be laid down on the ground to be covered up with matting or straw for winter protection of tender grapes, or covered with earth as practiced by General Worthington of Chillicothe, Ohio, with his fig-trees. Other devices are for anchoring posts, or staying them with guys, or straining the wires of the trellis; guards to keep insects from climbing posts; claw bars and jacks for pulling posts and poles. The devices are numerous in each specific line, and we must be content with this mere hint of the direction of invention. Tre′loob-ing. （Mining.) See tossing. Trem′o-lo. （Music.)

as said, and might perhaps have been suspected of a gentle slumber, when the casual mention of some city in the West, then dimly known, would rouse him to action. He would then cease rocking, would lean forward, and say in his peaceful voice: Chillicothe? What is the present population of Chillicothe? or, Columbus? What is the population of Columbus? and then, putting away the item in some appropriate pigeon-hole of his vast memory, would relapse into his rocking-chair once more. These vaChillicothe? or, Columbus? What is the population of Columbus? and then, putting away the item in some appropriate pigeon-hole of his vast memory, would relapse into his rocking-chair once more. These various periodicals, with their editors, gave to Cambridge the constant attitude of dawning knowledge, of incipient literature, which, indeed, properly belongs to a college town. It is to be observed that all new university centres, as Baltimore or Chicago, thus now signalize their arrival through the creation of new periodicals by the dozen. The North American Review existed at a time when the Four Reviews, as they were called, were still the foundation of all American thought, and when set

Except in the cases of Mrs. Stowe and Mrs. Perkins, the simple address Rev. Mr. Beecher was sufficient to insure its safe delivery in any town to which it was sent. One of these great, closely-written sheets, bearing in faded ink the names of all the Beechers, lies outspread before us as we write. It is postmarked Hartford, Conn., Batavia, N. Y., Chillicothe, Ohio, Zanesville, Ohio, Walnut Hills, Ohio, Indianapolis, Ind., Jacksonville, Ill., and New Orleans, La.

en Columbus and Pittsburgh is to be here in Zanesville, a town as black as Acheron, and where one might expect to see the river Styx. Later. I had a nice audience and a pleasant reading here, and to-day we go on to Pittsburgh, where I read to-morrow night. I met the other day at Dayton a woman who now has grandchildren; but who, when I first came West, was a gay rattling girl. She was one of the first converts of brother George's seemingly obscure ministry in the little new town of Chillicothe. Now she has one son who is a judge of the supreme court, and another in business. Both she and they are not only Christians, but Christians of the primitive sort, whose religion is their all; who triumph and glory in tribulation, knowing that it worketh patience. She told me, with a bright sweet calm, of her husband killed in battle the first year of the war, of her only daughter and two grandchildren dying in the faith, and of her own happy waiting on God's will, with bright hopes of
