any iustifiablc cause. True; yet, the
fact remains. Prejudice has thrown
its sallow mist around him, with re-
spect to whom it has been awakened ;
and all that he does is viewed through
this disco,orcd medium. 1t is unfor-
tunatc; but, human nature must be
taken as it is, if il is to be effectually
reached. Blaming it, though it de-
serves blame, may not reach it as surely
and powerfully, in this case, as q suita-
BILE form and degree of conciliation.
Nor to this method of reaching it
ought objections to be made. Concili-
alton, i'm its true sense, is heightened
and magnanimous. II is bit false
pride, which objects 10 its exercise.
Ii is nothing less than honorable for
any man TO waive for the time being
mis- rights, speak or act so as to soften
or correct another's hard or wrong
feelings, aim to put him right on any
point wherein he is in error; and espc-
cially when by SO doing, he may gro
mote peace among his neighbors, and
quench the fire of animosity ready to
burst out among his fellow-beings.
4. Kind words are to be employed.
Flattery and kind speech are dis
tinct, and need never be COMPOUNDED
with each other. "A man, that flat
tcreth his neighbor, spreadcth q net
for his feet" but, pheasant words are
as honey-coinb, sweet TO the soul,
and health to the bones"
1t is easier for him, whose own heart
is peaceful, to utter kind words than
rough ones. And the effect is good
reason FOR this kind of utterance. The
tongue is a mighty engine to promote
neace or occasion strife; and, since
the world began, it has been active in
PRODUCING one or the other of these
results. While of some it has been
said. "Whosc teeth are spears and ar
rows. and their tongue sharp sword :"
of others il is declared, "Fhe tongue
of the Just is as choice silver" and
..thc mouth of the righteous is a well
of life" One uses the bitter speech
the other. tho kindly. And as the re-
suit varies. so does reason urge the
employment of words producing a
blessing.

A democratic quarrel in Ohio has brought TO
light some facts that have an important bearing
on the election contest in the congressional dis
trict now represented by Lewis d. Campbell,
democrat, whose competitor for the seat was
General Schenck. 1t was confidently asserted
some time ago that one Peter Schwab, Ger
man democratic politician, rich but illiterate,
was concerned in ballot box stufing at the last
congressional election; but no positive evidence
could then be found to sustain the charge. But
Peter has lately quarreled with some of his
democratic friends about the city election, and
this quarrel has refreshed their memories won
derfully. 1t is not very surprising TO learn that
the sheriff of the county saw Schwab throw
handful of ballots into the box, and that after
ward, mentioning the trivial circumstance in a
conversation with Schwab, he advised the latter
to say nothing about it, as it might prove a
serious matter if it should get out. Nor does
it seem very remarkable, knowing what we do
about the democratic politicians of Ohio,
that Mr.. Schwab should have boosted
of his exploit to two other friends of his But it
is somewhat remarkable that these men, in
GLIDING the sheriff, should be induced by per-
sonal quarrel TO volunteer statements so dam
aging to their own character as well as to the
interests of their party. 1t is rather singular,
TOO, that the number of ballots thrown by
Schwab happens to be just the number of Camp
BELLS majority over Schenek. Schwab was held
in $1,000 bail for trial. Mr.. Campbell is reported
to have said that if Sehwab is convicted he will
resign his seat. There is some probability that
he will keep this promise, since the house of rep
resentatives would undoubtedly unseat him on
such evidence as his democratic friends are pre-
pared to furnish.

WHITE GUNPowDER.-The manufacture of

tons of the gunpowder process-is a delicate
chemical operation, and dangerous results fire.
quently follow. In these respects, white gum
powder is claimed by Mr.. Reveley its principal
manufacturer in England, to be preferable, be-
ing always uniform as regards strength and
other properties, and capable Of the severest
tests, without danger of accident. 1t is also
alleged TO possess the advantage over ordinary
gunpowder of being a superior propelling power
at least one-third greater-and having perfect
cleanliness.
White gunpowder is in appearance nothing
more or less than its name implies, a perfectly
white impalpable powder, resembling -four,
powdered chalk, or magnesia, and its compost
ton is as follows: Chlorate of potash As parts !;
yellow prussiate ditto 30; finest loaf sugar, 23-
100 parts, by weight In manufacturing this
powder, the yellow prussiate is dried in an iron
ladle until it is as white as the chorate. The
ingredients are ground separately to very fine
powder, and are then mixed by means of a
conical sieve until they are thoroughly incor-
porated, but not by grinding. For small guam
titles a mortar and pestle are used, which must
be perfectly dry and clean. The operation does
not take many minutes, and, with the precau-
tons named, its manufacture is absolutely free
from danger
One important feature in the production of
this article is that it does not require to be, and
indeed, can not be granulated, which process is
the great source of danger in powder mills; its
compact form also necessitates only half the
usual space; it produces neither smoke nor fash
of flame on discharging; its strength is about
one-third greater than that of ordinary gum
power, and its costs, also, considerably lower
than the latter. In actual use it does not ap
pear to possess SO much bursting as a propul-
i've power.

The sulphur beds of louisiana which were
discovered accidentally, some three wears ago.
during the boring OF well for petroleum, in
the parish OF Calcaseu, near the Calcasieu riy-
er, in the southeastern corner of the state
prove, on examination, to be of great extent,
remarkable purity, and apparently of immense
value. A New Orleans company is now en-
gagged in the development Of the sulphurous
treasures, and the indications are that this
country will ere long cease to be an importer
and become an exporter of this valuable COM
modify. The bed, or layer of sulphur, COM
mences at depth of 4S2 feet from the surface
of the ground, and terminates at $40 feet, hay
ing thus thickness of 112 feet. The proper
ton of sulphur is go per cent at the top of the
bed, and increases rapidly below to the depth
of 1856 feet, where it is 80 per cent, after which
the proportion gradually diminishes. The sui
phur appears in compact and amorphous

The diamond drill, intended for use in mines
and quarries and for general blasting purposes
on railroads, canals, etc., is attracting consider
able attention. The first application of dia-
monds to practical rock drilling was made in
1868 by civil engineer of Paris, and was first
tried during the construction of the Mont Gents
tunnel, where it perforated granite, quartz, and
the very hard calcerous dolomite with great ease.
The "bit" or boring head is a hollow steel thin
BILE about four inches in length, having three
rows of diamonds, in their natural rough state,
firmly imbedded therein, so that the edges of
those in one row project from its face, while the
edges of those in the other two rows project
from the outer and inner peripheres respectively.
The diamonds of the first mentioned row cut the
path of the drill in its forward progress, while
those upon the outer and inner periphery of the
tool enlarge the cavity around the same, and adj
init the free ingreSs and egress of water, which
is forcibly elected into the hole through the in
terror of the drill, thus both moiStening and
softening the stone, and carrying away the bor'
ings as fast as produced. The greatest depth
that has been drilled with the machine was $50
feet, though it is claimed that it will drill TO
depth of one thousand feet as easily as ten. AT
a recent test in Detroit the quickest drilling was
through stone a foot in thickness in two aud
half minutes. The cost of the machine is about
$4,000, that of the "drilf or "bit' being merely
