near Falmouth, that county, a few evenings

From Washington.
Gen. Cameron, and the Chicago Convention.
rom Special Correspondent


From Special Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25, 1860.
The feeling here, in the rejecting and
considerate circles, is, that the snap judg-
ment obtained by Mr.. Cameron in the re-
cent State Convention of Pennsylvania,
will do him no good in the desperate game
he is playing for the Chicago nomin alton,
If the necessities of the case shall compel
a departure from Gov. Seward, who, doubt
less, at this moment has by far the strong
est hold upon the party, those necessities
will be Of such character as to lead to
the selection of candidate Of personal
and political type widely different from Mr..
Cameron.
The Chicago Convention will be wise
body. 1t will look with careful eye over
the entire field of controversy, and will
select its principal nominees with great
deliberation. The actual members of the
Convention will have but little more inhu-
ence in determining this result, than the
hundreds Of considerate men, not membe
who will be present to reflect the unbought
and unbiased sentiment of the people -
The impression here is very strong that
packed delegations which are sent to Chi
cago, not for calm deliberation, but for
blind action, will have very little weight
beyond their more numerical power, in
deciding the grand result in that Conven-
tion.-Nc,0 Ymk Tribune.

Spirit Of the I'ress.

We extract from an article in the
Pittsburg Post { ouglas):
In the probable election Of Mr. Lin
coin to the Presidency, some Of the jour
mails are anticipating that he will have
trouble in fifteen States of the Union to
administer the laws, as he will be unable
to find persons in these States willing tc
accept Office under him. The new>pa
pers need not distress themselves ser-
ously by this difficulty. We agre,
With the Philadelphia Lc1ycr, that We
have never known a politician, however
ardent his patriotism or his local pride
who would refuse to take Office when
offered him, and, Judging from the expe.
rience of the past, declining office is no,
one Of the weaknesses of a Southern poll
tician."

WOinen's IuventiOn.

The Sen,aphore of MerseilIes relates
the following somewhat amusing Incl.
dent, which is said to have occurred at
the ball given to their majesties at the
Chateau Borcli: DAT the moment when
the doors were opened, two ladies, ac.
companied by two gentlemen, aud duly
provided with tickets, presented them
selves for admission. The ladies' were
elegantly attired in white dresses and
handsome ornaments, but unfortunately
they had not contormcd to the establish
ed etiquette, so far as regarded their
headdress, for they wore bounets. These
appendages were, it is true, Of the most
light and elegant kind and ornamented
with marabous feathers; but they were
considered, Notwithstanding, inadmissi,
bic. The stewards at the door expressed
their regret in the politest terms, but as
their instructions were positive on the
subject they could not allow themselves
to be softened by the entreaties of the
ladies, who retired 10 great dismay. An
old proverb says that when women de-
termiues on doing a thing nothing can
prevent her, and SO it was in this case.
The ladies, inspired with sudden idea,
went in among some trees that were
growing near, and, taking off the object
ionable articles Of dress, despoilcd them
of the feathers, which they speedily
transferred to their own hair The qucs-
ton next arose, what should they do
with their bonuets, which were too pref
ty to throw away. Feminine invention
here again came to their aid, for, LIFTING
their ample crinolines, they safely at
tached the discarded hcaddresses within
their ample folds, where they were com
pletely uuobserved. Thus newly equip
ped, they presented themselves, and wer
duly admitted"

Flint glass, or crystal, forms one Of
the most beautiful varieties of this beau.
tiful material, and in it. manufacture in
to the various objec:s employed, both for
ornament and use, many ingenius meth
DDS are employed. Moulding flint glass
may be considered one Of the most i'm.
portant improvements in the modern
treatment Of this substance. It's refr, c.
tive aud cut.liks effects are 80 similar to
those obtained, at . much greater cost,
by cutting the glass, that it is not always
easy to determine whether it is really cut
or not. The popularity Of modern
moulded glass is, that the interior of the
article has no indeutations corresponding
to tn figure outside, aud its lustrs is,
consequently, due to the inequalities of
its substance. The metal is first gather
cd on rod, 10 the ordinary way, and al
lowed TO cool little soMs more is then
taken up, aud the mass is immediately
pressed into metal mould, on the inte-
rior Of which the figure to be impressed
on the glass is indenred. In this way,
the exterior coating only fills the linden
tations, the cavity in the interior preser-
wing its smooth and circular form
When about half-formed the projc citing
parts are made slightly to separate from
each other, by quickly turning the rod,
while the workman at the same time blows
into it. The article is then brought as
usual into the desired shape, aud in order
to give it polish, it is exposed t. heat
just sufficient slightly to melt its exter
nal surface, which is called the fire pol
ish, and is then annealed.
What is called pressed glass is variety
of this last kind, aud the operation Of its
production is quite simple, A die and
mould Of the desired shape are secured
on table the die is capable of being
plunged into the mould by lever, thus
forcing down the glass before it, and
causing it to assume the shape of the
mould. 1t requires much practice to
collect the exact quantity Of fused glass
necessary, and if this be not the case the
article is spoiled. 1t is an extremely
rapid aud cheap mode of producing glas,
objects The effect, however, is not so
good as the last, and this method is chief
ly confined to the production Of very
common objects.
Another variety Of the pressed glass
manufacture is what is called drop pinch
ing, and is employed chiefly for making
the drop work and spangles of chaude-
Tiers, &c. Lumps Of glass are made ex
pressly for this process, aud are softeucd
in a blast furnace. When sufficiently
soft they are then squeezed iu pairs of hot
brass dies, and the required form is thus
given to them. They also require to be
cut and polished in the same way as or
binary cut glass. -PHtIa. ~ American.
