Easy Method of Cutting Glass

The cutting of glass, says the
TechnOlOgist, is an operation SO fire.
quently put in practice in the labOra-
tory that any simple method Of ef-
fecting it is sure to run the rounds
of the press as soon as published.
Almost all the methods i'm common
use arc very old. OF course, for cut
ting fiat glass, such as window panes,
the diamond is the best agent. For
cutting rounds or Ovals, out OF fat
glass, the diamond is the best tool
and if the operator has no diamond,
it will always pay to carry the Job to
a glazier, rather than waste time and
make poor jobs by other and inferior
means.
When, however, it is required to
cut off a very little from circle or
oval, the diamond is not available,
except in very skillful hands. In
this case a pair of pliers, or very dull
scissors, is the best tool, and the cut
ting is best performed under water.
a little practice will enable tue oper-
atOr to shape small round or oval
with great rapidity, ease and preci-
sion. When bottles or TASKS are to
be cut the diamond is still the best
tool in skillful hands but ordinary
operators will succeed best with pas
tiles, or q ledhot poker.
We prefer the latter as being the
most easily obtained, and the most
efficient, and we have never found
any difficulty in cutting off broken
TASKS so as TO make dishes, or to car
ry a cut spirally round a long bottle,
SO as to cut it in the form of cork
scrcw-and by the way, when so cut,
glass exhibits considerable elasticity
and the spiral may be elongated like
a ringlet. The process is very sim
pie. The line Of the cut should be
marked by chalk, or by pasting a
thin strip of paper alongside OF IL
then make a file mark to commence
the cut apply the hot iron and a
crack will start; and this crack will
follow the iron wherever we choose
TO lead it.
For drilling holes in glass a COM
mon steel drill, well made and tenn
percd, is the best tool. The steel
should be worked at low tempeFa-
ture so as to be sure not to burn it,
and then tempered as hard as posi-
bic in either mercury or a bottle
Of salt water that has been well boil
cd. Such a drill will 90 through
glass very rapidly if kept we'll mofs-
tened. a good liquid for moisten-
ing such drill is turpentine I'm which
some camphOr has been dissolved.
This was the lubricatOf recommended
by Griffin in his work on chemical
manipulation, and il has been fire.
qucntly published since. Diluted
sulphuric acid is equally good, if not
better; and we have found carbOlic
acid singularly efficient.
1t is stated that at Berlin, glass cas-
tings for pump barrels, etc, are drill
cd, planed and bored like iron ones,
and in the same lathes and machines,
| by the aid of sulphuTic acid.
a little practice with these differ
ent plans will enable the operator TO
cut and work glass as easily as brass
or iron.

Brigham Young Appears for Trial.
Rich Tin Ore Discovered.

SALT LAKE, Oct. Q; P. M.-Brigham
Young, accompanied by a number of ell
ders, appeared at court this afternoon and
was held to bail in five thousand dollars to
answer. He passed through the crowd
from his carriage up stairs to the court room
alone. Many hats were removed and other
expressions of respect shown, but no shouts
or noisy demonstration. His appearance
before Judge Mexican was quiet and digni-
fed. but he seemed evidently very feeble.
The officers of the court showed him all
kindness, providing large easy chair and
keeping the crowd at a distance.
The counsel Of Brigham first put in a
plea Of abatement, which was overruled.
The next movement was to quash the in-
dictment on the ground Of the indictment
enumeratiug sixteen separate charges IN
alleging that be lasciyiously cohabited with
sixteen different women. During the argu-
meat on this question Brigham retired.
Hemstead for defense will continue speaking
to this motion tomorrow. Everything
! quiet tonight, although multitudes of excit-
ing rumors are in circulation. In the event
/ of conviction there may be trouble, scarcely
/ otherwise.

THE ELECTIONS.
PENNSYLVANIA.
Serious Riots I'm Philadelphia.
A Pitched Battle of Whites and Blacks.
8 Men Killed and 25 Wounded.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. l0.-The election
| was quiet in most of the wards. In tbt
fourth and fifth the colored voters com
planned of Intimidation, and the police were
changed by the Mayor.
In the fifteenth ward Miss Carrie S. Burn
ham rendered her vote, which was not re-
eeived. Judge Allison, of the Court ol
Common Pleas, rejected an application for
a mandamus to compel the receipt of her
vote, and was sustained by his brother
judges.
LATER.-Serious riots have broken out
In the southern part of the city, or men
have been killed and % wounded. Three
bridgades of militia have been ordered to
the scene of the troubles. Mr.. Haggerty a
Lieutenant Police has been arrested by or
der of Judge Allissn and held in one
thousand dollars, to answer the charge of
obstructing the polls.
Trouble first commenced between the
whites and colored at the Eight and File
water streets. The crowd was drawn to-
gether by the report of fight and num-
bered nearly 1000 persons A shower of
paving stones was thrown into this assem-
blage and Immediately the fight COM
menced III earnest. Pistols were used and
muskets charged about and fired into the
crowd. The battle continued as the crowd
passed up Eighth street to Lombard, down
Lombard to Seventh, down Seventh to
South and through South to Sixth streets.
The streets, courts and all the Yards were
swarming with men who fired upon each
other.
While the fight in Lombard street con-
ti4ued number of colored men, armed
with muSkets, came out of an alley Just
below Seventh street, and charged upon a
squad of police officers, who were backed by
lOst-shirt-sleeved supporters, and being
beaten back retreated into a tavern, taking
up their position at the second story win
dOws. From this position they fired a vol
ley, which was spiritedly returned, and for
ten minutes the neighborhood sounded with
the reports of fire arms, while missiles,
paving stones and bricks were flying through
the air. ....
Chief of Police Marshall was present dur
ing the riot, and did bis best, with the few
men be hrd at command, to quell the dis
turbance. He did not succeed, however,
rntil over POO shots had been fired.
& Half dozen were shot in Lumbard
street and carried off by their friends, but
how seriously thR1r Were wounded cannot
be stated. Chief Marshall succeeded in re-
storing order after taking the ring leaders
into custody. The riot is attributable BY
those who watched its origin to the ll-treat-
ment of the colored voters at Sth and Fite-
water streets, and more or less at all the
polls in the 4th and 9Th wards.
