American Marbles.


For some days past there has been
on exhibition III the window of Messrs
Bailey & Co., at the corner of Twelfth
and Chestnut streets, some remarkable
specimens of colored marbles from the
recentlyopened quarries on Lake Cham
plain, which have attracted much at
tention. These marbles, IN their hard
ness and durable qualities, as we'll as
in the beauty of their veining, far sur
pass anything of the kind that has
been produced in this country. Here
tofore the great supply of colored mar
bles used III the United States has been
drawn from the quarries of France,
Italy and Germany, and has been con-
sidered luxury in which the wealth
alone, could indulge. Recently, how
ever, tile use of colored marbles has
become very general for decorative
purposes, and it enters largely into the
architectural designs for the interior
adornment of private as well as public
buildings, and especially of = the
churches of the present day. This
beautiful material has hithertoIore.i
become necessity, and as hitherto,
with the single exception, Of the Ten
nessee marble, all our colored marbles
have been imported, and the gold paid
for them taken out of the country, the
discovery of a native supply which is
said to be inexhaustible is of.the great
est Importance, simply in a mercantile
point of view. In addition to meeting
our own demands, we can undoubtedly
be able to export these colored marbles
to foreign countries and turn the cur
rent of gold the other way. It seems to
be conceded that in quality, beauty,
solidity and texture, and especially
in the size of the blocks, the Lake
Champlain marble is unsurpassed by
any of the European colored marbles.
and such being the case we may expect
the material to be used more extensive
ly than ever for all kinds of decorative
purposes, and to become the favorite
marble in the market.-Ph5I. PeIe-

The Household.
INEXPENSIVE ORNAMENTS.

There is no ornament inside OF out
side of our houses SO cheap and
tasteful as plants and flowers. Few
pause to regard the architecture OF
your rooms of your house, but the
beauty of towering shrubs, or the iv
ing arabesque of a threfty creeper ovel
your door, are lessons Of tast and beau
ty. Indeed, suburban residences are
sadly deficient without these simple
and beautiful accessories, always within
the reach of taste and refinement, nc
matter how empty the purse. AS the
real necessities of life require the least
expenditure of time and money, so the
objects which tend truly to satisfy the
love of the beautiful in nature are with
in the reach, of our humblest children.

Texas Transfers Roasted TO Death by the
SaYageS.

From the San Antonio Herald, May 4.
About eight days since while ,ncamp
ed at the Howard Springs, on the Ell
Paso road, $50 miles above this place,
a train of wagons and about fifteen
persons were attacked by about sixty
redskins, six or eight deserters, negro
soldiers) and seven Mexicans. 1t was
about 12M. Some of the men were
cooking, some 1oiling in the pleasant
shade, others attending to various du-
ties, and all in state of lazy careless
ness, when, like thunderbolt the
tiendish yell of the savages deadened
every heart with terror. Before the
panic stricken teamsters could collect
their scattered thoughts aad arms, the
Indians had ridden among them,
secured all but two, and continued
uttering eXultant shrieks like COR
CONS of devastation. After having thus
secured the now despalring transfers
they proceeded to pillage the contents
OF the wagons. They to their greater
delight fonnd quantity of arms and
ammunition, which they appropriated
to their use. They took a few articles
of merchandise with which the wagons
were principally loaded, for the use of
their sablerecruits and Mex1cans. They
then rolled the wagons together, care
fully tied their victims under the
wagons, piled wood around and set fire
to the pile. They remained with dia-
bolical stolidity till the death throes of
the tortured transfers ceased to greet
their ears, then they deliberately col
lected their mules and spoils with the
dignlfied air of conquerors.

factory showed us how this enormous demand

extreme care in their manufacture, which at

their most accurate combination. The conse-
quence is power and certainty in controlling
disease which other remedies never attained.
