Pittsburgh and Plate Glass.

Pittsburgh does heavy business it the
manufacture of glass, but has never yet
attempted the plate glass, which is now
so extensively imported. The matter OF en-
gageiEg in this business, which is altogeth-
er distinct from that new pursued, is now
agitated at the American Birmingham,
and we trust that it will soon be success
fully prosecuted there. The Pittsburg
Commercial gives the following interest
ing particulars about plate glass
In times past, plate glass was luxury
enjoyed only by the wealthy in their par
lor mirrors. 1t now finds not onl ly an I'M
mense increase demand for this purpose,
but hundred others. 1t is hardly posi-
BILE for weIl-arranged store or city build
ing of any kind to be constructed with
out the use of plate glass, either in show
windows, sky-lights, transparent floor,
doors or roofs; and there are but few
stores or public buildings in the West
which might not in some part have been
made more convenient by its use In
France and England many buildings are
now erected entirely of glass and iron.
Some oftheir later splendid railway sta
tions are entirely rooted and sided with
glass, and are beyond compare superior
to any others in the world for beauty and
suitableness to the purpose for which
theyTare used. The demand in America
tor this purpose alone will soon be enor-,
nous. Some of theiEnglish manutacto-
ries of plate glass are very yextensiye. One
near London covers seven or eight acres
of ground, and employs over five hundred
operatives. The manufacture was start
ed about hundred years ago, and was
encouraged by the government, both by
duties on the foreign article, and by the
payment in cash for each plate OF. home
product. AT the presnt time the nanufac,
ture of plate glass in England is carried
on in very successful competition with
that of Francois rival in the business

An Accommodating Husband.

A Northern gentleman who has for some
time been residing in Fernandina, Florida
in speaking of the ignorant whites of that
section tells the following story One
day an elderly man, some seventy years
of age, and girl, came into an office he
was occupying with Justice of the Peace
to be married. There was such descre-
pancy in their ages the gentleman was
quite shocked, and felt it his duty to in
quire into the matter little. He found
it all right, however, it being regular
love match. After they were married,
certificate made out, &c, he tried to i'm
press upon him the sacredness of the
martial relation and vows, and laid par
tlcular stress upon the certificate las some
thing tangible), and exhorted them to
preserve that inviolate still death did them
part" Some months after, he says,
walking to his office, he espied this old
gentleman in the street driving the in
evitable steer, and seated in the cart IL
lone. He could not resist the tempta-
ton of speaking to him. The old gentle
man was pleased to see him, and at once
told him that he was just going to his Of
fee to have his marriage certificate chang
ed. ''That GAL" said he, the Justice jim
ed me to has gone and jined herself to an
other man. | remember what you said
about the stiikit-how sacred twas, and
all that, and never lost it, and was
going over to see if you couldn't scratch
oat my name and put his in, and save him
the damage.

Our Territorial Aenuisitions.

There is reason TO believe, says the Buffalo
Commercial AduertiSer, that the old couplet-
''No pent up Utica contracts our powers,
But the whole boundess Continent is ours. "
is in fair way of literal realization by
the .. S. Government. Since we began
our national career there has pursued
by us a steady policy of territorial acqui-
sitlon. The idea has come to be tavorite
one not only with each and every admin
istration, but also with each and every
citizen of the Universal Yankee Nation
as we are pleased to call ourselves.
The following list will show how far
we have already gone in this direction !:
First-The puschase of Louisiana and
the Mississippi Valley, in 1903, from
France, for SIC, 100000. - e.. go ''.a .
Second-The purchase of Florida, in
1919, from Spain, for $3,O0O,OOO.
Third-The anneXtion of Texas in l 1S45.
Fourth-The purchase of California,
New Mexico and Utah, from Mexico, for
100000, in 1S49. ,.'1.3... -
u Fifth-The purchase of Arizona from
Mexico for so, ,o0o, 900, in 1854. Hoa7
Sixth-The purchase of the immense
Russi an possessions, running down on
the Pacific coast to the North Pole to
fifty-four north latitude, at which line it
strikes the British possessions
Without pausng to take breath after
this last feat of territorial deglutition, we
arc already gravely meditating the meth
od and propriety of taking the title to
what little territory there is left on the
continent that ''lines us, ''and of giving
the "bird offreedom" an opportunity Of
tapping his wings over an entire cOnti-
neht without trespassing upon neighbors.
The Senate had hardly ratified the treaty
with Russia wheniit was announced that
Mr. Seward was negotiating with the
Northwestern British possessions, to APP
ply in part payment of our Alabama
claims, and in final settlement of our old
'sfifty-four-forty or fight" dispute Sim
ultaneously we are treated with serious
prognostications Of the speedy fate ofthe
new Canadian Confederacy and are grave
1v told that the inevitable destiny of that
country is to be blended with our own
States, under the Stars and Stripes.

New Way Of Paying Subscriptions.

The following is an amusing account
of the way farmer was taught how
cheaply he could take the paper. The
lesson is worth pondering by a good
many men "we wot Of"
"You have hens at home, of course.
Well, l will send you my paper for one
year for the products of single hen one
season, and the proceeds. 1t seems tri-
fling, preposterous, to imagine the pro-
ducts of single hen will pay subscrip-
ton; perhaps it won't, but l make the
offer" %"
"Done," exclaimed farmer B. Il
agree to it," and appealed to me as wit
ness of the affair. H. ,t
The farmer went off apparently much
elated with his conquest the editor went
on his way rejoicing.
Time rolled around, the world revolved
on its axis, and the sun in its orbit as it
formerly did; the farmer received his
paper regularly, and regaled himself with
the information from it, and said he was
surprised at the progress of himself and
family in general information.
Some time in the month of September
| happened to be up again in the office,
when who should enter but our friend
farmer B.

editor, extending his hand, his counte-
nance Lit up with bland smile; I" take a
chair and be seated fine weather We

-" Yes, sir; quite fine indeed" he an
swered, and then short silence ensued,
during which our friend B hitched his
chair backward and forward, twirled his
thumbs abstractedly, and spit profusely.
Starting up quickly, he said, addressing
the editor, & L have brought you the pro-
ceeds of that hen"
1t was amusing to see the peculiar ex
preston of the editor, as he followed the
farmer down to the wagon. could
hardly keep my risibles down.
When at the wagon the farmer COM
menced handing over to the editor the
products, amounting to eighteen pullets,
worth twelve and half cents each, and
number of dozens of eggs, making in
the aggregate, at the least calculation,
one dollar and fifty cents more than the
price of the paper.
"No need,' said he, "of men not tax
ing family newspaper, and paying for
it too. | don't miss this from my roost,
yet have paid for years subscription
and over. All folly, sir; there's no man
but what can take newspaper; it's
charity, you know, commenced at home"
"But," said the editor, C l will pay
you for what is over the subscription. l

but rather to convince you. l will pay

How THEY TRAIN SHEPHERD Does
In South America the shepherd dog drives
out the flock, watches it through the day,
and returns it at night. These dogs are
said to be able to protect sheep even
from the lion. They are raised in the
following manner: While young, and
before they have opened their eyes, a
mother sheep is taken and forced to nurse
the young dog. This is the way the dog
is raised, and the dog becomes so attach
ed to his step-mother, that when the
sheep are added again to the flock, the
dog follows and defends the same.

BABlEs.-Some time ago there was a
dancing party given up n orthwest; most
of the ladies present had little babies,
whose noisy perversity required too much
attention to permit the mothers to enjoy
the dance. A number of gallant young
men volunteered to watch the young ones
while the parents indulged in a "break
down." No sooner had the women left
the babies in charge of the mischievous
fellows, than they stripped the infants,
changed their clothes, giving the apparel
of one to another. The dance over, it was
time to go home, and the mothers hur-
riedly took each baby in the dress of
her own, and started, some to their homes
ten or fifteen miles off, and were fer on
their way before daylight. But the day
following there was atremendous row In
the settlement mothers discovered that
a single ight had changed the sex of ba-
bies observation disclosed the physical
phenomenon, and commenced some fthe
tallest pedestrianism living miles apart,
it required two days to unmix the babies,
and as many months to restore the wo-
men to their natural sweet dispositions.
To this day it is unsafe for the baby-mix-
ers to venture in the territory.

Merry little sunbeams,
Fitting here and there,
Joyous little sunbeams,
Dancing everywhere;
Come they with the morning light,
And chase away the gloomy night.
They kiss away the dew drops
That hang upon the flowers,
They lift the lazy mist that lies
Upon the sylvan bowers;
They bring each one its little spark,
To drive away all shadows dark.
Kind aUorCls are little sunbeams,
And sparkle as they fall; ssar -

A light of joy to all;
In sorrows eye they dry the tear.
And bring the fainting heart good cheer

Their Joyous light may share;
Tier light reflected oe'r your heart,
Will make its shadow all depart.
