Rome as Seen by an American,

Rome is difficult subject to deal
with, so many books and letters have
been written about IT, 1t looks so dif.
fcrcntly seen through different specta-
cles. aud it is so difficult to discon-
meet the present from the past Its
situation is not unpleasant TO the eye,
built on and around moderate eleva-
tions, from which stretches off the
Campagna TO distant mountains, and
within and outside lis walls are gar
dens aud puplic grounds Of interest.
ST. Peters is wonderful church, and
so is st. Paolo, with its immense
white marble floor glistening like a
sea of glass The ruins of the Coils
cum, like the baths Of Caracalla, and
the dome of the Pantheon buildings
which stood before the Christian era,
and relics and bones Of martyrs which
have been accnmulating ever since (;

japanese Schools.

The schools of Japan possess many
singularilies, especially those for
young girls of fourteen or fifteen
years Of age, dcnominated finishing
schools. In those establishments. all
masters pay for the privilege of teach
ing, instead of (as is the case with us)
being paid for their lessons. This
makes the instruction a labor Of love.
Then, again, TO certain extent, a
japanese young lady is allowed c5hs
siderable freedom as to the selection
Of her instructors she generally pre-
frs the best looking.
A lady principal Of one of our fin.
isbing establishments for young ladies
would not be Little surprised if she
could be suddenly transported to
Japan there to study the peculiarities
of Japanese customs
Instead of our closely pent school
rooms, with the girls sitting bolt up
right upon an educational stool, sho
would find the girls in delightful
garden, fragrant with tea aud flowers.
She would see u number Of little sum
warehouses, embowered in the midst
of those charming vegetable products
for which Japan is so justly celebrated,
brought to perfection 10y the most
exquisite horticulture She would
see bright eyed damsels, with cheeks
pink as roses, moving around with
graceful steps, each bearing a small
lacquer tray with tea and cakes She
would see these damscls, with Joyous
smile and modest mein, vending each
their way to summer-house. In
each of those summer houses she
would see a master or professor, either
waiting the return of one of the re-
freshment bearing damseIs, or else
sitting by the side of one who had
already come back japanese girlsre-
main in educational seuinaries of this
kind until marriage, and they make

The U. S. Girondists.

j. is very curious and instructive TO
notice how many leaders of the Re.
publican parry have been sbelved
since the war and during the war
some hy complete retirement and eX-
lie, aud some by being slowed away
in places ofrcspectability. These per.
sous, once memorable, like the Giron
dists of the French Revolution, were,
wiling enough to start and press the
irrcpressible conflict, but when the
struggle came they either had no be
lici in real strife, or no taste for the
conflict of arms. The Secretary Of
State under Mr. Lincoln passed speed.
ily from the declaration that there
would be no war, to the ringing Of
his ''litlle bell" to send bis fellow
colntrymen to prison for opposing
the conflict of arms. The Secretary
of Che Treasury under Mr. Lincoln

How Knives and Forks are Made


New Britain, Connecticut has q
cutlery mandatory, opened last
spring. In the Hartford Courdnt we
find very interesting description OF
it, from which we take the following
The principal thing manufactured is
table cutlery. Tho visitor is first Ia
ken TO the store-room, where he sees
piles OF oxen's bones, brought hithcr
from the slaughter. houses Of New
I York city. They are first soaked and
boiled, and then sawed out aud shaped
by a series Of ingenious machines, go
ing At last to the riveting room where
they are fastened TO the blade Of the
knife or the shanks Of the fork.
In tho store room, too, lie piles of
cocoa, ebony and rosewood, brought
from the region Of the equator The
hard aud beautiful woods are manipu-
lated very much in the same way as
the bones, and arc sawed out by sim
liar machines. The blades of the
knives, and the steel portion Of the
fork, first assumes shape in the black
smith shop, an imense room contain
ing forges, eight or nine trip-hammers,
and two rows Of drops, each one hun.
dred feet long.
Afler these huge instruments have
given blades and forks their rough
forms, they are sent to the punching
room, where the holes for the rivets
are made. They then 90 to the hard
ening or tempcring room, which con
tains three furnaces, in which fierco
heat is constantly maintained There
are the tempering, the annealing and
the case hardening furnaces The
processes here are very delicate, the
blades being dipped in oil before they
are placed in the annealing furnace,
and great skill being required to keep
the furnace always at the proper de
gree of heat
This annealng is, as is well known,a a
most important operation, Without
it our knives and forks would soon
bend and break and become useless
From this room the blades next 90 to
the grinding room, in which there are
twenty eight grindstones with room
for dozen more. Here the edge is
given to the blade and the sharp
points to the fork. The grinding room
presents curious sight In front of
the rapidly whirling stones sit men,
many Of them wearing goggles TO |
keep the fine particles which fly Off
in the process Of grinding from enter
ing their eyes
As they apply the steel blades to
the stones, flashes Of the fire, the re-
suit of the friction, are evolved. The I
occupation Of a knife or fork grinder
is not generally considered a healthy |
one, the air Of the room being filled
with fne dust, which the grinders are
obliged TO inhale, and which seriously
affects the throat The stones, too.

From the grinding room
the blades are transferred TO the shaft
ing room, where they are joined to
the handles of wood or bone, which
we have before mentioned. Here a
clever piece of machinery turns out
the rivets with immense rapidity, and
with them the bolster or shoulder is
fastened to the handle, These boil
sters are Of nickel and are patented
by the firm. The knives being joined
to their handles, are now taken to
the polishing and finishing room,
