How TO BORE HOLES IN GLAss.-Any hard
steel tool will cut glass with great facility
when kept freely wet with camphor dissolved
in turpentine. A drill may be used, or even
the hand alone. A hole may be readily en-.
largcd by round file. The ragged edges Of
glass may also be thus smoothed with fiat
file Flat window glass can be readily sawed
by watch spring saw, by the AID OF this So
luton. In short, the most brittle glass can be
wrought almost as easily as wood, 10y the use
of cutting tools kept constantly moist with
camphori1ed oil OF turDentnc.

The.tide Of such traffic as usually runs
through the street, every man adding his
impetus to the movement, is at stand
still, and, moving neither up nor down,
presents to, lookers-on a dead sea appear
ance. The elements out Of which motion
is created are there, but no motion. The
habitual crowd about the eorners-brokers,
clerks in financial offices, and interested
parties-show themselves for a portion Of
the day, devote the greater part of their
time in keeping out of the sun, the remain
ing part in discussing politics, and then
"fold their tents and silently steal away
leaving the street at three o'clock like "a
banquethall deserted" The moving spirits
are stationary. Busted spectators occa-
sionally appear with long faces and greedy
appetites for bargains, but none come.
Everything is nominal" a term which
means " 'Tis mine, us his" and maybe
anything. This state Of things portends
nothing; it is simply usual at this season of
the year. Fancy stocks are killed of.
Congress having died of; no more canards
about aid Of milliens to imaginary COM
panies come to fret the patience of the
thoroughfare. The above applies to the
obligation business in general As to par
ticular quotations, they are about as fol-
lows:
Levee, nothing doing. Full paid stock
held at 81.
Old warrants nominal at seventy cents
lvariablel.
New warrants held at ffty-nine. Sales at
ffty-seven. cents.
Gold quoted at ll4A New York;, and in
this speciality there are signs of little
business-the spasmodio demand for filing
out imports.
slaughterhouse quotable at SIC, but not
negotiable.
City certificates are rated all the way
from sixty.nine to seventy-two. Sales were
made at seventy and half cents. They
are reported tightening, taxpaying people
applying the screws.
Cotton sales are at very low ebb. The
tide is almost out, and men in the business
are high and dry for the present.

A Liverpool paper gives an exquisitely
funny correspondence which had passed
between certain newspaper writer and a
well-known country rector. 1t appears that
a contract had been agreed upon by the
two fiat the newspaper man should write
the rector twelve sermons month, at the
rate of twenty-five shillings for three. The
correspondence is very rich. At times
there are disagreennents. The piqus news
paper man came near losing his money for
writing too liberal sermon on the subject
of wheat and tares.n but he made it up all
right by writing one upon the nature and
advantages of faithful prayer, founded upon
the case Of the Syroph0enecian woman.
The correspondence also discloses a regular
system among the clergy OF certain class,
who procure their sermons written Tor them
by some impeeunious literary man. Some
clergymen in this country might pursue
the plan with great advantage to their
hearers.

BOLD ATTEMPT TO ROB.-Tuesday night,
as officer Everett was walking his beat, he
noticed an empty box on Front, between
Third and Lafayette streets, and as some
fresh straw was near it, his suspicious were
aroused. Making an examination Of the
premises in that locality, he found door
of the Batture warehouse unlocked. Enter
ing, he discovered some boxes of wine so
arranged as to leave no doubt that-burglafs
had been about The thief was probably
frightened before he had time to secure the
goods. 1t is thought that the fellow-must
have seereted himself inside the building
during the day, and when all was quiet be-
gan operations. If he had confederates out
side they tailed to make the connection.
