IMPORTANT DIsCovERY.-An invention,
has recently been patented for making
glass from the native ore, the scilicate Of
IRON, which exists in great abundance in
different parts Of the world. The colum-
mar basaltic rock of the Palisades, on the
Hudson river, and the famous Giants
Causeway, in Ireland, are formations of
this ore in crystalized and hence opaoue
condition. A factory at Newburgh. n.
Y, has been started, to utilize thisl ore
by the newly discovered process, and it
Is turning out ware of unequaled cheap
ness and toughness. Nails may be driv-
en- INTO solid timber with quart bottles
OF this manufacture. without risk of
breaking. The cheapness with which
glass may be made in this way will cause
1t to be bro't into a variety of new uses.
Common window glass can be produced
at prices greatly below present cost but
whether the finer qualities of glass can
be made in this way remains 10 be de-
termined. The discovery is one of great
and is the work Of Ameri-
can genius.

Bank for Losings.
BY DIR. T. L CUYLER.

On the chief thoroughflre of this city
l often pass stately Saoings Bd"E
built of freestone, and / see groups OF
working people going in to deposit their
hard-earned money. Some are mechan-
les some are Irish domestics some are
poor widows laying by few dollars ior
their fatherless children.
But OH the same street the Tempter
has opened more than one Bank for los
ings. In some parts of the city there Is
one on nearly every corner. In almost
every rural hamlet, too, is there similar
institution. New York city contains SIX
thousand of them.
In each of these banks for losings IS a
counter on which old men and young
and even some wretched women lay down
their deposits in either paper or coih'-
The only interest that is paid on deposits
is in redness of eyes, and in fouineSS Oh

his situation" behind him in oneS of the
Devils Bank of Losings. Several pros
porous tradesmen bave lost all their
business there. Church members have
been known to reel out from these seduc-
tive haunts, trying to walk straight, but
back Sliding at every step. What is
worst OF all, thousands OF people go in
there and lose their immortal souls.
If the cashiers Of these banks were
honest, they would post on the door some
such notice as this.
"BajtAa.tor Iosings, open at all hours.
Nothing taken in but good money.
Nothing paid out but disgrace, disease
degradation anil death. An extra
dividend of de5jritoe tremens will be
paid to old depositors. a free pass to

counter. Also, tickets to Greenwood
and other cemeteries entitling the holders

Of the depositors sent without charge to
the orphans asylum, or to the aims

Young men beware of the Banks fer
Loslngs. Some bait their depositors with
champagne some with ale or bourbon;
some with pack of cards, and others
with billiard table. If you wish to
keep cEaracter-keep Om.
Young ladies, never touch The hand

But If you do not want Your green
backs turned into black eyes and red
noses; if you don't want your pockets
emptied, your character worm-eaten, and
your soul drugged with .the poison of
the pit. Then keep outside OF the "Na-
tional Brandy Bank for LOSinJS."

To KEEP BUTTER IN THE SUMNER
a simple mode of keeping butter in
warm weather, where ice is not handy,
is to invert common flower pot over
the butter, with some water in the dish
in which the bottom may be oorked or
not. The porousness of the earthenware
will keep the butter cool 1t will be
still cooler if the crock be wrapped in, a
wet cloth. Not the porosity of the
earthern ware, but the rapid abstraction
of heat by external evaporation, causes
the butter to become hard.

Too Much Piano,

We presume there will be very many

yersal for ladies' to spend several wears

ever unpopular the idea may be, we can
not but feel that there is too much alb

for such erratic beleif
When a young lady has real taste

Very few of the vast number who

1t seems to be Il something to be used
for an hour as a luxury, and then forever

cannot comprehend it, but the fact is
one which few will gainsay. Out of
