AMERICAN PoRcELAIN.-Abont year and
a half since, some persons in searching at
West Milford, PasSaic county, for iron,
came across a bed of clay, with the nature
of which they were unacquaintcd. A sci!
entiiic investigation has revealed the fact
that it is Kaoin, all exceedingly valuable
porcelain clay, quite scarce. 1t can BE- used
in the manufacture Of porcelain ware, tiles,
fire brick, the glazing Of cards soap, paint,
&c. The deposit at West Milford is of the
purest kind it is of various colors, white,
red, chocolate, and others. The porcelain
manufactured from it will be equal, it is
thought, to the best FIcnch. The deposit
is large, and a company OF capitalists is
about to be formed, under the name Of the
Mackapin Kaolin Co., TO work it. Similar
deposits exist in Japan, China. Saxony,
France, England, one at Amboy, discovered
by the geological survey, and one of an in
ferior kind near Philadelphia. The compo-
sition of the clay is alumina silica, and it ,s
generally formed from disntegrated granite.

Some years ago when Tom Corwin and
Tom Ewing were on political pilgrimage
TO the Northern part Of the State, they were
invited 10 tarry over night with a distin.
guished local politician. The guests arrived
rather late, and the lady of the mansion be
ing absent, young lady, niece, undertook
to preside on the occasion. She had never
seen great men, and supposed they were
elephantine altogether, and all talked in
great language. Mr.. Ewing, will you take
condiments in your tea, sir" inquired the
young lady. Eyes, Miss, if you please"
replied the quondam Salt Boiler. Corwin's
eyes twinkIed. Here was fun for him.
Gratifled with the apparent success of her
first trial at talking with big men, the young
lady addressed Mr.. Corwin in the same man
ner: "Will you take condiments in your
tea, sir ?" Pepper and salt, but no mus
tard," was the prompt reply of the facetious
Tom. Of course nature must out, and Ew~
ing and the entertainer roared in spite OF
themselves. Corwin essayed to mend the
matter and was voluble in anecdote and wit
and compliment. But the wound was i'm
medicable. The young lady, to this day.
declares that Tom Corwin is coarse, vul-
gar, disagreeable man.-IToledo Blade,
