Works by the Late Secretary Seward.

The late Secretary Seward was en-
gagged short time previous to his death
IN an autobiography, which he con tenn
plated making voluminous and COM
plete, embracing his personal reminis-
cences of and criticisms on the various
statesmen and politicians whose names
are passing or have passed into history,
and with whom he was brought into
immediate personal or official relations
during his lifetime. The memorable
events which conferred around his own
career, and which in themselves COM
posed the most interesting portion of
the record of the past half century. were
also TO be dealt with by the lamented
statesman, had not the hand of death
been laid SO suddenly upon him. In
this work he had already advanced a
little beyond 500 pages of closely writ
ten manuscript, which, however, only
brought the autobiography down to
1875. Here the story is to be taken
up by the Governors eldest son. Mr..
F. 81. Seward, formerly Assistant Secre-
tary OF State, who will at once set about
completing the work by supplying the
complementary biography. 1t is for
tunate that the latter was furnished by
his father with a closely detailed pro-
gramme and plan of the unwritten part
OF the autobiography, with all the
necessary papers, &C., as well as that
the young mans own recollections of
and connection with public events ex-
tend back to some time beyond the
date whereof the great Secretary's hand
ceased to write. Mr.. Stewards other
great work, "Travels Around the
World" he happily lived to complete.
1t is edited by his adopted daug hter,
Miss Olive Risley Seward, who accom-.
panied him on his interesting journey,
and it will be issued by the Appleton's
about the end of November.

How Marbles are Made.

The chief place of the manufacture
OF marbles-those little pieces of stone
which contribute so largely to the en-
Joyment of boys--is at Oberstein. on the
Nahe, in Germany, where there are
large agate mills and quarries, the re-
fuse of which is carefully turned to good
paying account by being made into
small balls, employed by experts to
knuckle with, and are mostly sent to
the American market. The substance
used in Saxony is hard calcareous
stone, which ig irst broken into blocks.
nearly square, by blows with hammer.
These are thrown, by the one hundred
or Two hundred, into a small sort of
mill, which is formed of fat, station
airy slab of stone, with a number of con.
centric burrows upon its face. A block
OF oak, or other hard wood, of the same
dlametric size, is placed over the stones
and partially resting upon them. The
small block of wood is kept revolving
while the water flows upon the stone
slab. In about fifteen minutes the
stones are turned into spheres, and
then, being fit for sale, are henceforth
called marbles. One establishment,
containing only three of these mills,
will turn out fully sixty thousand mar
bles each week. Agates are made into
ma rbles at Oberstein, by first chipping
the pieces nearly round with hammer.
handled by skillful workman, and then
wearing down the edges upon the sur.
face OF large grindstone.-Ne,o York
