Glass pearls are made in the following
manner: They are blown separately and
hollow and the inside is covered with a
pearly fluid made of the scales of bleak
fish and water. 1t requires the scales of
four thousand fishes to produce half a
pint of the liquid.

country. We stand ready to show our books to

Scholarship OF THE HIGH SCHOOL,
We publish to. day communication from
Fl. o. Durkee, Principal Of the High
School, in relation to the Scholarship of
said School, and his remarks as to
the standing in scholarship, at the close
of the last term Mr. Durkee has due
estimation of the oery faithful manner in
which nine tenths of the pupils perform
ed their work, and attributes the lover
ing of the average of the whole School
to the low average Of the few who we're
more or less of the term very neglectful
of lessons. The average of the whole
School was lowered by the average of a
few. The many suffered loss collectively,
by the neglect of a few singly.
From this the neglectful should learn
useful lesson. No pupil-no person
should ever be dead ,oeight-not even a
hindraac8-to others. We would say to
the neglectful pupils,-Take the case Of
Or. Goldman as an example, as related by
Prof Willard Parker in his Hectares
when we were a medical student"
When boy, at the age of sixteen, with
out education or friends, he went on
board Man of War. When first climb
ing the mast he became fearful and, look
ing down, the Sailors called to him.
Look up you lubber' He looked up
and climbed to the top of the mast From
that time he took for his motto, Look
mp you lubber.' And at the age of TWEEN
ty-nine the lamepted John G. Goldman
died at the head of the American Medi-
cal Profession" Let those heretofore
neglectful of their lessons and duties
wherever they may be, wake up and look
up. Wake up, look up, and travel up to
the head OF the classic the dignity of
boyhood and girlhood, manhood AID
womanhood-and all will be well.

SINGULAR TREATMENT.-It is stated
that the other day lady went to a
dentists office to have tooth pulled and
several front teeth, probably in order to
be employed to furnish false set. The
lady refused to have more than one ex-
tracted, and the dentist seeming to
acquiesce, administered nitrous oxyd, or
laughing gas and pulled out as many
as he chose. On coming to- the lady
found that the teeth she refused to have
extracted were gone. We understand

CHICAGO EVENING Posi-. call at
tention to the Prospectus OF the Chicago
Evening Post, which we publish to-day
The Post claims to be the leading Repub-
lican newspaper the Northwest. We
believe it has always supported the Re-
publican nominations even when all 9th
er Republican papers IN Chi
cago bolted some of the nomi
nations. It y able and independent, and
for news is fully equal to the the very
best. The offer of Premiums for the
Weekly Post is worthy of especial atten
ton. The National Watch Company does
not manufacture watches specially for
Premiums and Gifts A watch obtained
as premium will be equal to any other
watch of it's kind manufactured by the
company.
WoMAN's RIGHT TO VoTE.-On Mon
day the 18th ult, Mr.. Julian, in the
House Of Representatives, presented the
memorial of Mrs. Victoria G. Woodruff,
claiming the right Of suffrage under The
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments,
and asking the enactment Of laws to
guarantee that right to the women of the
United States. The petition was referred
to the Judiciary Committee and ordered
printed in the Globe. 1t would be quite
remarkable, if upon careful consideration
of the subject, it should be found that
Congress has already unwittingly opened
che door Of political economy for women.
1t is said that able jurists, whose atten-
ton had been called to the subject by
Mrs Woodruff, have given it as their
opinion that she is justified by the terms
Of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amend
ments in claiming the right to vote as
already guaranteed. We understand that
Ia an interview with President Grant he
also assented to the correctness OF her
view, and gave it as his opinion that wo
men may properly assume the right to
vote, without an additional amendment
to the Constitution. To make assurance
doubly sure, however, we think it will do
to urge and work for a sixteenth amend
ment, expressly prohibiting political dis
tinction on account of National
IoGUftNO?It.
On carefully reading the memorial Of
Mrs. Woodruff and before seeing The
above or reading anything else on
the subject, it appeared to us that the
people, through Congress and the State
Legislatures, by amendments to the con-
stitution, had secured to woman equally
with man the right to vote. Congress,
Legislatures, and the People, sometimes
act wiser than they know, and they may
have done SO in The adoption of the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments
to the constitution. Still to make assur-
ance doubly sure it will do to work for
and adopt Sixteenth amendment, ex-
pressly prohibiting political distinction
on account of sex.

THE WAR IN FRANCE.


The war in France is still making pro
gress, but what the progress is, IS not very
clear The Germans have taken or have
possession of Fort Akron, the outer fort
FOR the defence of Paris Trochu says
they have evacuated it voluntarily, the
Prussian she'll guns being of longer
range than those of the French. King
William gave reception January LIST, in
the Palace of Versailles, to the officers
of the German army, in honor of the
openingof The new year. Ina brief adj
dress he said:
''The great events which must have
preceded our celebration of such day IN
such place are due to your heroism and
perseverance,, and to the bravery Of The
soldiers. Our goal, is, however, still IN
attained Important tasks remain to be
performed before we shall achieve last
ing peace and we would be censurable to
make any peace which involves conJin-
uation of the duties which have brought
you here"
Some time ago report said that some
hundred wounded German soldiers in be-
ing removed were frozen TO death. Now
report comes that ~ Prussian column, in
an attempt to cross the Loire on the ice
lost three hundred men. The French
are reported to have succeeded in recent
engagements on the Loire, and to have
taken 1900 prisoners near Lochatre Iti'

evacuated Gray, and retreated from the

DEATH OF zHE AUTHOR OF "CAspAR
EAUsER. The New Orleans Times of
Dec. mentions the death of Sebastian
Seller, an old resident oe that city, who
for time edited German journal there
He was fine classical scholar, and gain
ed considerable repute as an author.
One of his works "Casper Hauser, or the
blind boy of Nuremberg" occasioned
considerable comment IN Europe at the
time of its publication, and gave great
offence to the reigning powers of one OF
the German States. For this Mr. Seller
was expelled from Germany, and he ar
rived in Paris during the troubles of
1848. where misfortune again met him by
receiving ball in the knee while pass
ing near one of the barbados. During
the last four years Mr.. Seller practiced
law in New Orleans, where he leaves
many warm-hearted friends.

From the Monticello IN. y Republican.
Dec. 9.
Soon after the Nathan murder, and be-
fore any examination had been made to
ascertain who the guilty party was, very
intelligent and every way excellent lady
of Peekskill, N. Y, had remarkable
dream, which made an impression SO
vivid upon her mind, and seemed so real,
that she cannot divest herself of the be-
lief that she could, if brought face to face
with the murderer, be able to identify
him from the daguerreotype of his fea
lures forever engraved upon her memory
by the startling earnestness of what she
regards almost as as a dream-reality.
3 AS above stated, within few days of
the murder this lady was to all appear
ance present where the murder was com
mitted, and the room, with its contents.
to the minutest particulars, were da.
guerreotyped upon her mind. There Law
the dead body of Mr. Nathan, as he was
stricken down by the hand of the assas
sin, and within few feet stood the
guilty man who had struck the fell blow,
his hands raised in horror at what he
had done, and look of wild terror plain.
ly depicted upon his countenance. The
homicide's face was turned in the right
direction, so that the lady got an accurate
impression Of its features and expression !;
and so perfect was it that she is positive
she could recognize the man she saw any,
where any time. It would be singular
it the murderer should yet be discovered
by some such agency as above.
