POLITICAL NOTES.
In Ohio the following nominations have been made
Democrat.

In the Third and Fifth districts no nomination has
yet been made. In the Third General r. c. Schenck
will probably be renominated. Vallandigham, Gene
raj Durin Ward and others are candidates for the
democratic nomination.
p. P. P-"Pollard's Political Pamphlet" which
the well known historian of the "Lost Cause" and Of
the "Lost Cause Regained" proposes to publish in
the city OF New York. will be devoted to reviews Of
events and OF leading OF the politics OF the day.
and will offer, moreover, certain attractive
features as a contemporary historical record similar
to those which used to characterize and lend value
''Niles Register" Mr.. Pollard says in his pros
pectus that the design islands midway between the
daily paper and the monthly.n The editor intends
to supply by it "a conspicuous want, particularly in
the present political campaign" His aim is ITO
make Of public affairs noble and refined study
rather than the capital OF and sefnterested
parties'--an object worthy OF commentator from
all independent journals. The modes Of publicity
vary greatly in different countries, and It remains to
be seen If the vigorous pen OF Mr.. Pollard will natu
raize among "the pamphlet" which in Europe,
and especially in France, has become powerful in
strument for affecting and even creating public
opinion.

INFUsoaIAL EARTH (of which immense
deposits exist in Maryland; Virginia and
elsewhere;) is now used for naanyputposes
in the arts, in addition to its furnishing an
interesting field of investigation TO the mi
croscopist and naturalist. Senlptofs mo-
dals, made of the usual clay, mixed With
this earth, do not crack or spring either in
drying or baking. Added to sealing-wax,
it prevents the too rapid dropping when
melted, and does not affect the color. The
substances usually employed for the pur-
pose, gypsum and barytes, are open to
many objections that do not apply to this
earth. II is used TO great advantage in
polishing metals, and Is an excellent arti-
Gle for cleaning glass, either windows ipr
