Alarm ing.

We find the following sentiments in
the speech delivered ut Montgomery a
day or two after the Mobile riot by
Judge Kelley. We quote from the
report in the New York Herald. We
recommend it to every right-minded
man:
ale urged them to build rolling
mills, erect furnaces, employ the wat
cr-powcr at Wctumpka and up in the
other cotton districts, and TO rotate
their crops as we do in the North.
The day Will come when Alabama Will
not ccnfine herself to cotton rs her sole
crop, but she will sed her railroad iron
to the Gulf. The wives and daught-
ers OF men "a dusky as those around
him would spin the cotton. They
need not tell him they can't do il; for
he had visited the colored schools and
found enough of talent and intelligence
there TO convince him that they had
the laborers ut hand if they only train
eel them. Addressing the white peo-
pie, Mr.. Kelley said he failed to find
any other reason for the difference
between the North and South than
their contempt for the rights of man
as man. He urged them TO set aside
their prcjudices and reconstruct the
South promptly and willingly. If
that were done he would declare, in
behalf of the whole country, that the
present laws of Congress would be II
finality unless it was driven to enact
harsher measures, and before many
years the South would be more liberal
and as prosperous as the North. He
then addressed the freedmen, remind
ing them that their freedom meant
the right To toll for their living and
get paid for it, but in doing so they
must be just to all. Freedom means
hnj.a good man is better than u bad
and the smart man wins the
race. They were at liberty TO protect
their wives, and they should take care
Of them, and send their children to
school, that they might have lighter
task To endure than their fathers.
They must live in peace with the pco-
pie of Alabama. They will have to
pay taxes and study the politics of
their country. Let those who were
mechanics try TO start for themselves,
and those who were farmlaborers
should avail themselves of the home
stead law; or, if the government lands
were too far away, Congress would see
that land-oflicos should bc brought
nearer to the people. He was not the
agent of party, but he loved the
party lac ei'ele"gcd tn because of its
great princip'cs. Devotion la the
Union and belief in the rights of man
were its two bases"

point,) Is o, and the mcridians are
numbered thence both eastward and
westward To $50 Just halfway around

Breaking of Chinneys .


The great cause of lamp ehimneys
being so brittle and breaking 50 easy,
is owing to the material they are made
from. There is shoddy i'm glass rs
well as in eioth-l Cheapness being
the order of the day great many
manufacturers make chimAeys from
silicate of lime instead of silicate Of
lead. The glass made from ts.e silicate
of lime has about the following pro-
portions sand, 700; soda, Is; lime, ~
To >; nitrc, To TO. Lime being a non
conductor of heat the chimney will
not bear the expansion caused 10y the
heat, and if by gradual heating th,-
chimney does not break ON the lamp,
a few times heating makes il so brittle
that il breaks with the least effort at
cleaning il, no matter how much care
is used.
The silicate of lead has about the
following proportions-sand, loo; lead,
40 10 90; soda, ~ To -; inter, 10 to 15.
Lead being very drctile and a good
conductor of heat, chimney made
from this formula will almost melt be-
fore it will crack with the heat. The
uninitiated may tell the difference of
the chimneys made by these different
qualities of glass by ringing them, the
vibration from the lead glass chimney
has a sweet bell like sound, while the
lime glass has short harsh sound.
The difference of the cost i'm manufac-
ture is only i'm material, about Is cents
per dozen.
Another point is i'm annealing:
chimneys, as n general rule, are not
annealcd; under IA powerful microscope
the difference can be seen in the glass,
the PARTICLES in the anncaled glass lie
close and compact, while the unan-
nealcd seem ready tn diverge.
There is more economy in using
lead glass anncalcd chimneys at 10
cents each, than there is i'm using lime
glass chimneys at . cents each Cheap
and dear are truly relative terms i'm

About twelve years ago Mr.. James
Thompson, wealthy farmer Of Boards
town, Illinois, was waylaid by rufiians
and stabbed in the back, under the left
shoulder blade. For several years he
has been afflicted with a severe cough,
was supposed to be suffering from con-
sumption, and his friends despaired of
his recovery. About three weeks since,
in violent fit Of coughing, he threw up
piece of the knife with which he was
pierced, about one inch and . half in
length and about half an inch in width.
It had passed, during that long inter
val, from his back into his stomach,
through his lungs and upward through
the bronchial tube. He is now doing
well. 80

The Ohio State Fair for 1867.

y Has proved one of the most success
full ever held in the State. The number
in attendance during W ednesday, Thurs
day and Friday was very large. It is es-
timated that no less than LOG, 900 per-
sons, men, women and children, visited
the Grounds during these three days.
The railways were taxed to their utmost
capacity for means of transportation.
As many as four thousand people came
in on the excursion trains of single
road. The Greenville special trains con-
tanned thirty six cars, packed full inside
and outstanding room being all that
was required, or at tleast all that could be
procured in many cases. On Thur8day,
which was the great day, it is estimated
that more than 10000 people were upon
the Grounds--over $4,000 tickets were
sold on that day. The streets we're full
of vehicles from the country, and the
sidewalks were literally packed with .
moving mass going or returning from
the Fair Grounds. Throughout the en-
tire week the most perfect order prevail
ed. It is noticeable fact, that in all
thas vast crowd, not a single pocket was
picked. Nor were there any thefts COM
mitted by which visitors suffered. The
arrangements were admirably made and
enforced. Thieves and pickpockets were
plentiful, but they were watched and
spotted by the detectiv es, and warned to
s.jump the town. which was gentle
hint to depart by the first train, which
was taken and acted upon at once. Two
finely dressed women were spotted by
the detectives as professional pickpock-
cts and warned to leave. BY these precau-

money was in the shape Of certificate
for that amount. loaned to Fisk d Hatch,
of New York, and was deposited in the
vault. On examination this was found
to be missing, and Mr.. Hasbrouck con-

and to have used the funds, and turned
over to the Bank all his property, con-

and railroad stock. The Bank is fully

Bankrupt Act, to let his other creditors

having become public, other facts were
speedily developed which show that
Hasbrouck has deliberately swindled an

then induce the parties to leave them
for safe keeping in the splendid vault of

Hollow Horn. -

sA cprrespondent of the New York
Tribune, says in regard to the above
disease: A cathartic of EPSON salts,
sul1hur or linseed oil combined with
ginger, is better than to mntilate the
creature. Some of the most cruel acts
ever perpetrated by man have been the
cutting and soaring of sick animals, and
dosing them with horrid and hellish
medicines. And yet the old school doe
tors used to treat their human patients
in the same way. It is likely that thous-
and animals have been killed by doctor
ing where one has been cured, and then it
probably lived in spite Of the medicine.
