with unusual briskness and vitality.

forty seven couples in one hotel.

A easily Awakening in a Strange
Bed.

Who has not, upon waking in a
strange bed, experienced that curl
Gus feeling Of drowsy speculation
as to what he is, where he is, and
how on on earth he came there :?
Gradually the mind realizes the facts
of locality and individuality. Mem
ory rubs her eyes, and returns to
daily life. But imagine going
through the process upon one of
the damp slabs at the Morgue and
awakening to find oneself laid out
under the icy squirt of water and
the iron bar with which the dead
are accommodated in tina gastly re
ceptacle! According to the Gauzois,
this horrid kind OF revei1zee lately
occurred to printer upon the es-
tablishment of that journal. The
man is subject to cataleptic fits,
which sometimes last for eight or
ten hours, and during that time he
lives without or apparent sign of
life. In one of these attacks he had
been picked up by the police, who
called the doctor; and, having been
informed by the sapient practitioner
that he was dead through conges-
ton Of the brain, they forthwith
carried him to the Morgue. There,
according to the practice, his clothes
were removed and hung up,and un-
derneath them he was stretched
upon one of those grim pallets were
the poor human "waifs and .strays"
of Paris are exposed. Next NOR
ming, when the officials entered that
''waitingroom of the "dead," in
stead Of the three stark tenants
which were left there were seen
only two. The slab of the deceased
printer was vacant, and tho clothes
were gone. A messenger was sent
to the address discovered upon the
vanished corpse, and there was
found chez zWi the missing body, in
excellent health and spirits. all
things considered, and on the point
of returning TO establishment where
he had had his awful night lodgino
to reclaim the purse which was Jeff
there. The man explained that he
had walked up early in the morning,
to find himself in what he recogni-
sed as the Morgue; that observing
his apparel suspended above him,
and seeing that the door was merely
latched, he had made his toilette and
and forthwith departed home.
Probably the cold atmosphere and
the jet Of water helped to restore
his senses; but how frightful must
have been his awakening in the
grey light to the slow PERCEPTION of
the fact, that he had been brought
to that uncanny place for dead, and
had passed the hours of darkness in
company with corpses Paris Cor.

industrial Exposition at Cincinnati

An Industrial Exposition of man
ufacturles, products, and arts is to
be held at Cincinnati, commencing
September 21st, and continuing un-
til October 25th,-under the au-
spices of the Chamber of Commerce,
the Board of Trade, and the Ohio
Mechanics Institute Of that city
Artizans, manufacturers, inventors,
and all engaged in the production
of works of art and ingenuity, are
invited to contribute. A circular
received from the general commit
tee of the exposition states that
ample preparations have been made
for the exhibition Of machinery in
operation, for the prominent dis
play Of manufactures, works of art,
and products, and also for the gen
eral convenience of exhibitors also
that arrangements are being made
for the cheap transportation Of arti-
cles for exhibition from all parts OF
the country, and for their removal
from the depots and warves in
that city to the place of exhi-
bition with safety and at low
rates.
This enterprise has evidently
been taken hold of with spirit, and
the ma-ifest energy already display
ed in the initatory steps is an au-
gury of success. Tie names of
Cincinnati's best busines men,
men of influence, energy, and means,
are at the head of the movement,
and we have no doubt that the ex-
position will be highly useful to the
productive industry of the country.
The President is Chas. F. Wilstach
James Ii Laws and Josiah Kirby
are Vice Presidents, ,Abner L. Frazer
is Secretary, and II. A. Y. Post is
Treasurer.

LEARN A TRADE.--''A man that is
too well born for trade, is very
well bern for the gallows.' There
is a deal too much of disrespect for
honest labor for the healthful main
tenance of either morals or govern
ment. There obtains a notion among
great class Of people that when a
person is relieved by the possession
of property, from the necessity OF
arduous toll, it becomes q degrade
ton for him to labor at all. If the
habit of work is so fixed that the
monied man cannot remain idle. he
apologies for it as a sort of vice,
and refers to "habit' much as he
would to addiction to opium or rum,
as something to be ashamed of, but
which, unfortunately, had got the
better of him. His children are
carefully educated to sink the shop
and turn up their noses at those who
work for a living. Ia seeking mat
rimonial alliances for them he looks
for wealth rather than industry, and
chooses as husband for his daughter
the man who has his inheritance in
the bank, no matter how untitled he
may be to cope with misfortune,
rather then the man who has a for
tune in his brain, and will win his
own way. Idleness and extraya-
gance are curses worse than the
plaques of Egypt to us; they breed
sorrow, wretchedncss, crime and in
| fanny; send our sons into drunkard' :
graves and felon's cells and put oul
daughters on the streets, into mad
houses and garrets of poverty
Every boy, rich or poor, should be
taught that idleness is a crime and
girls should be taught it no less thar
boys. Every child should be taught
some trade.

Walks and Talks About Town.
CENTRAL GLASS WORKS.

Taking a stroll about the city yester-
day, we called in to see our friends John
Oesterling, President, and A. P. Hall,
Secretary of the Central Glass Com
pany, and under their guidance made
the tour OF the factory.
The Central Glass Works were erect
ed in 1868, we believe, are located
On Wheeling creek, at the head of John
street. East Wheeling, and occupy some
two and half acres Of ground. The
peculiar and beautiful French Flint
Glassware, so popular in the Western
and Southern markets, is made here.
1t is very handsome ware, and, manu-
featured in the oak and rose vine de-
signs, cannot be surpassed by any fac
tory in the country.
, There are two ten pot furnaces in
the works, where about forty-fye tons
OF glass are worked up every week.
This factory gives employment TO about
! one hundred and fifty hands
The Central Glass Company are not
obliged to send to South America for
the soda used in the manufacture of
glass; they can get all they need nearer
home, and they are the proprietors Of a
process by which all the impurities are
taken from the soda, and from the
commonest ash they are able TO pro-
ducc the finest materials needed in
making glass.
1t is not our purpose here to describe
the modts opcro,ld of the production of
glass, nor to trace the ware from the
time it first goes into the mould until 1t
is taken from the annealing leers to
the polishing and packing rooms.
Our intention now is to call the at
tention of buyers of glassware to the
articles manufactured at these extensive
works, not, TO be sure, ''the largest in
the country but equal in extent to any
in the West, and turning out ware pop
ular and saleable, and having no SUI
perior in the beauty Of its design, It's
clearness and toughness.
Under the clear-headed management
of President Oesterling the wares of the
Central Glass Company are to be found
in every market and are so popular
that the factory cannot, work as hard
as they will, keep ahead of their orders.
A Young army Of men and women are
hard at work packing the goods des'
tined for Southern and Western cities,
making Wheeling and her industries
known throughout the length and
breadth OF the land.
We citizens of Wheeling should feel
great pride in our glass works. No
better ware is turned out in the Union
than here. Its production is wonderful.
When We consider the many uses TO
which glass is applied, it, cheapness,
its purity and its beauty possessing the
valuable qualities Of nearly all the
metals We should, as we say above, feel
4 great pride in the fact that such fac,
tories as the Central Glass Works have
made Wheeling glassware famous
throughout the United States.
