Belonged to the Same Family.

A lofty lady named Mrs. Dixie, once
occupied u situation as housckecper in
a literary family of New York. Mrs.
Dixie was very proud of herself and her
connections. She held up her head
very high, and was extremely naughty,
more so perhaps than the celebrated
Queen of Hermanstadt. One day the
d!kes OF Holland was mentioned in her
presence, and she pricked up her ears,
"Do you know anything Of those
dikes?' asked one of the young Ia
dies.
"Oh! yes, indeed ~ rer' ed tho
naughty housekeeper, we're all Of the
same family"

Plate Glass.

Plate glass, such as is used Tor mir
rors, is properly called cast glass, for it
is in reality cast in a iron mould, and
atterward polished. A quantity Of
melted glass is poured from the pot
upon the cast iron table, and is then
rolled out by an iron roller. In this
way large slab of glass is made, and its
surface alter annealing, is ground down
and finely polished by friction with
another slab of glass. An immense
amount of plate glass Of this description
is produced annually, amounting to
many millions of square feet 1t is used
in q rough state, also as covering to
railway stations, and for other similar
purposes, being found well adapted to
such uses.
Another kind OF plate glass, with q
number of longitudinal pertorations in
it, has come into extensive use for the
pun pose of ventilation. This glass may
be described as being oast III a mould,
and then perforated with Il plate OF
iron, studded with thin projecting
pieces, so that the plate is perforated
wherever these pieces have been placed.
Mechanical means are also used to give
IL idCt " pltbtc Sltoo, III oA'''l
to make it more Oppressive of light,
this sort Of glass being much employed
as Il substitute for ground gla s.
A peculiar sort OF nodded glass is now
con. iderably in use for windows. The
pattern is pressed in the glass by a
mold, and then by subsequent pro,
cess, glass of another color is allowed to
flow into it. The whole is then ground
down 10 a uniform surface and the re.
suit is, an inlaid platter of glass of one
color in glass of another. Among the
triumphs of the plate glass maker, must

are to be seen in some Of our metropolis

EDITOR PLty DEALER ARTICLE
NJ, Sec. 3 Of the new Constitution Of
Iowa, reads as follows, viz: No coun-
ty or other political or municipal corpo-
ration shall bc indebted in any manner
or for any purpose to an amount in the
aggregate, exceeding five per centum
on the taxable property within such
county or corporation-to he ascertain
ed by the last State and county tax
lists previous to the mourning of such
indebtedness.
Now Mr.. Editor my object in calling
Tao attention Of your readers to this
provision Of the Constitution is for the
purpose OF inquiring whether the coun-
ty, and each and every town therein,
and also each municipal corporation
thereof were not in fact indebted over
3 per centum before any vote was taken
in any township On, or for the purpose
of voting 5 per cent to the Davenport
4 ST. Paul, or the Winona proposed
railways?
Again Mr.. Editor is it not the rational
and clear official duty of the township
trustees to ascertain the aggregate
amount OF tie indebtedness Of such
town or corporation before calling a
town meeting to vote such tax.
1t is generally understood by the
people Of the county, that the county
aud each town and corporation are now
and have been for years indebted over
5 per cent on the assessed valuation;
and if 50 any and all such votes are
demonstrations and void, and any tax
payers can institute proceeding, and
prevent the collection Of such tax, or
taxes; but, Mr.. Editor, suppose the
county, town, CT incorporate indebted
ness is only one, two, or three per cent
the vote is void because it creates an
Indebtedness Of over 5 per cent, which
is absolutely prohibited by the State
Constitution. 1t is strongly intimated
that treasurer Moon will be prohibited
FROM selling the land until he has ex-
laustcd the personal property as pro-
y;1el by law. Respectfully yours.

EDITOR PLAIN DEALER We can't
breathe freeley without the aid of the

interest demands a railroad, and the
farmers Of Iowa and Minnesota, all

to see their own interest advanced by
securing the location of this road from
Davenport to st. Paul, via: New Ore

TIE CINCINNATI ROAD AGAIN.

Our dispatches this morning briefly NEIL
ton the fact that bill has been introduced
in the Ohio Legislature, so far modifying
the Ferguson Cincinnati railroad bill as to
authorize the city to pay a bonus not to
exceed three millions of dollars, TO any
persons who will build the Southern road.
This is diversion worthy of notice. The
Cincinnati Commercial has for some time
intimated that the great railroad interests
centering there from the East would find
it absolutely necessary to force their way
through Kentucky to Knoxville and other
Southern places. 1t has further intimated
that the city could save several mil
lions Of dollars by making trade
with these corporations for building the
road aud at the same time secure to Gin
cinnati all the privileges that it would get
by the Ferguson plan. Is this new step
in the Ohio Assembly flank movement
on the Kentucky Legislature? 1t is known
that the business men of Cincinnati with
but few exceptions, disapprove of the
charter just granted at Frankfort, De-
spairing of securing anything liberal from
the Kentucky Assembly, it is altogether
probable that the trustees propose now to
amend the Ferguson law and make the
best trade possible with the railroad in
terests Of the East and South now center
ing on the north bank of the Ohio, and
push through under charters heretofore
granted. We shall know more definitely
in few days. With the present lights
before us we are inclined to think this
deal will turn out trump card to Knox
vile.

The bill offered by Mr.. Maynard, to adj
NIT free of duty certain special machinery
for smelling particular ore in Louisiana,
and making experiments in the glassman-
ufacturing in Indiana, was fully consider
ed by the Ways and Means Committee,
and fully explained in the debate in
the House. It is not surprising thata free
trade paper in Cincinnati should try to
make point on the Inconsistency of such
bill, and it is not even surprising that
the creature Of the libelhng, public print
ing swindling ring in Tennessee should
construe the remarks of the Gazette as an
attack upon Mr.. Maynard's personal in
tegrity, but it is surprising that he should
expect this people to pay any heed to his
insinuations. The idea of such a fellow
assailing the integrity of respectable gen.
tlemsn. Rich, isn't it?
