The gold used for pens is Of various degrees Of
fiueness. from three to fourteen carats. The best
manufacturers use the latter quality,it possessing
more elasticity, teuacity and drmness than inia-
rioF qualities. The gold is received from the re-
finer in oblong pieces called ingots, which arc
rolled down to certain thickness generally about
four times that Of the finished pen Il is
then passed through power press containing
die, which puts out what are called blanks, or
pieces of an oblong shape, one end blantly sharp
ened, and perfectly fat These blanks are about
one-half the length Of the finished pen.
I The blank is next transferred to the saving
machine, by which the point is cut down to re-
ceive the iridium necessary to give the required
hardness. The iridium, with q small piece Of gold,
is then placed on the point, and kept ia place by
strong solution Of borax. Il is subjecred to
the action Of the fame directly upon the point.
The heat Of the fire soon melts the piece Of gold.
and the iridium is sodered to the pen. The blink
has now bat little the appearance ofgold, being Of
decidedly coppery hue. This is sooa set right
by dropping 1t into choTohydric or muriatic aeid,
the color being thus restored The blank is now
passed through steel rollers 50 constructed as not
to touch the point but to condeuse and lengthen
the rest Of the pen. II is surther hardened BY
hamrlering thus producing the spring SO much
like that Of quill.
The next process, cutting the blank to the
shape of pen, is done by die in press simi-
lar to the first mentioned II is then stamped
with the makers name, this being the last per
formed on it while fat. II is now bent in a pecu-
Iarly constructed die, and the iridium Is cut
through by means Of emery on a very thin cop
per wheel running with great velocity this starts
the slit which is then extended by means Of an
other machine. The sides Of the slit are now
polished by a thin iron wheel with emery. thus
making the sides smooth preventing them from
catching on each other.
The outsides Of the points are now ground to
the desired shape with emery upon a soft copper
wheel with fat surface, and the pen is ready
for what is technically called sioning' This
operation is performed by rubbing the metal with
what is called Scotch stone, which gives a smooth
surface and renders the work for The polisheT
much less.
It then goes to the polisher, who with Wheel
and rotten stone gives it the bright and smooth
appearance so noticeable in all new pens Tho
inside Of the nibs are made slightly rough in or
der to cause them to hold more ink than they
otherwise would the points Of the pens arc
ground perfectly smooth and even BY means OF
emery oa copper, and the pen is finished and
ready for use.-EreLmge.

Smoke VS.. Imagination, .

There were to be some theatricals at
Chatsworth some years ago, at which
Queen Victoria was to be present, and
in which Mark Lemon and others took
part. A Colonel Flint was to perform
the very simple part of buck of the
time of George IL, and lean against a
mantel- piece and smoke large pipe
At rehearsal he commenced putting
away, when Sir Joseph Paxton, the
architect of the first Crystal Palace,
and manager of the Chatsworth estates,
came running to him, declaring that
he must not attempt to smoke. The
Queen detested tobacco, and would
leave the box. He declared that he was
smoking herbs in perfectly new pipe !;
but Mark Lemon, Mr.. Dickens, and the
company, all insisted that they smelt
tobocco smoke, so he threw away his
pipe and bought a new one, and also
some dried thyme and rose leaves.
These proved just as Objectionable, and
so the smoking on the pipe was dis
pensed with The Colonel bethought
of an imitation of smoke he had seen,
composed of finely woven webs of
cotton supported on rings and spiral
wires. On the evening of the full
dress rehearsal, Mr.. Paxton again came
to him and insisted that he should not
smoke and then, on finding out his
mistake, that he should not appear to
smoke. It would be iniudicious. Her
Majesty would think she smelt it. He
moreover asserted that the company
assembled had smelt the smoke, no
matter how it was made or whence it
came.
Akenside, says the Detroit Post, in
publishing this anecdote, produced
1.-THE Pleasures of Imagination, but
it would seem as if the "Pains of I'm
agination" might even produce an
achin' side.

Senator Sumner has presented in the
Senate series ofresolutions declaring,
in substance, that the menacing Of
Hayti with the navy, in case of her
opposition to annexation of San Do
mingo, is violation Of the spirit of
our constitution and institutions, and
contrary to international law, and that
it should be disavowed by the govern
ment of the United States; that the
order of the President to the naval
officers for the intimidation of Hayti is
, usurpation of the war power of the
constitution and entirely inexcusable :;
that the employment of our navy to
maintain Baez in his usurped power as
President of San Domingo, and In his
attempt to sell his country in open vio-
lation of the Dominican constitution is
morally wrong, and any transaction
founded upon it must be null and void.

Throwing Lighted Match into Gas
Ometer---A Boy Blown Thirty Feet.
From the Elm City (New Haven) Press.

From the Elm City (New Haven) Press.
On Sunday number of boys were
playing on the gas holder in Fair Hav-
en-, out of use for over a year. The ca
paclty of the holder was about 10000
feet; but at this time there were only
about 1000 or 5000 feet of gas in it.
John O'Brien, aged fifteen, opened the
main hole and proposed to light the
gas. One of the boys warned him of
his danger but O'Brien replied that
he would do it if he did get killed He
lighted match and threw it into the
hole. An explosion followed, causing
shock which was felt all over the city.
Young OBrien was thrown some thirty
feet into the air, and fell, striking the
heavy iron frame work and then the top
of the holder. He was instantly killed.
The holder was tipped toward the west,
and the body rolled down nearly to the
edge, a stream of blood marking it's
course. Two spans of the iron frame
work we're broken and thrown to the
ground by the force of the explosion,
the rivets of the holder were nearly all
torn out, and the holder itself was
blown into shapeless mass. The
other boys, it is supposed, got out of
the way before the explosion, though
fears are entertained that one or two
may have been blown into the river

A Blind Card. Player.

we were witness, night or two
since, to singular transaction game
OF CRIB between a man totally blind
and . assn wholly deaf and dumb. At
this fascinating game, both are un-
usually expert, and Tic strange con
test wal wached with interest Et no
merous SPECTATORS. The blind man
proved vlctoriolis, IS he almost invar-
lably does at this game, although his
opponent in this instance is so pref
cent therein that professional sports,
knowing shis. prowess, refuse to play
with him for a consideration.
Tor the information of the Gt,tieus,
we Will state that the blind man shows
his cards confidentially to bystander,
who tells him in whisper their de-
fioffhstion; He needs never to be
told more that once, he never failing
to remember the number Of each card
and It's position in relation to eaf'h Of
the 1Hst in his hand. But that which
afforded us most thought for reflection
was, that although the parties never
met before, they at 6fce appeared to
have mutual understanding, and
conversed with each other almost as
readily and rapidly as if neither had
BEEN deprived of any natural gift.
The mute Wrotei with extraordinar Y
rapidity, using his left hand, while the
blind man made himself peffestly
understood to his fellow sufferer by
simply indicating with his dexter fin
ger along the table the letters which
he desired to use. The scene was
subject for thought, and one calcu-
lated to confirm ths belief In that
great heavenly law of compensation;
whereby a person deprived of one
natural sense or gift is given some
ether faculty in greater degree than is
vouchsafed to othexs unaffected.
The parties of whom %e speak are
both men of more than ordinary abii-
ity and requirements. One is promi-
nent member of our local bar, with a
State reputation, and the other is a
landscape and animal painter of no
small merit. One suddenly lost his
sight few years since; the other be-
came deaf and dumb when only years
of age, from an attack of scarlet fever.
And yet we doubt if two more genial,
happy men exist in the community.
They seem, by some god-hke dispensa-
tion, to forget or to be satisfied with
great loss, because of other powers
and gifts given in compensation.
