The Laboratory Question.

10 the Union ana American.
From a communication in your issue Of
to-day, by S. L. Sigman, on the laboratory
question, it appears he did not carefully
analyze my communication Of the 18th, to
which he refers. stated, in connection
with bis former article on laboratory, that
a "few hundred dollars would purchase the
necessary apparatus required to open
school of analytical chemistry" l said
nothing about laboratory, or "fiDe sets Of
chemical and philosophical instruments and
Iibrary"-a hundred thousand dollars
might be invested in that sud the necessary
buildings-but only mentioned the smallest
amount actually necessary to comm ence
school of analytical chemistry. 1t is to be
hoped that the analytical school of the
Tennessee School of Pharmacy may ulti-
mately grow into tbs kind of laboratory
your correspondent sees so much necessity
for. Its growth must necessarily be slow,
unless, as before mentioned, some person
or persons, approaching its usefulness and
Importance, should choose to hasten it by q
liberal endowment. Other cities have pro-
duced Cooper and Girsrd, ours may yet
bring forth one whose name will be remem-
bered by future generation by a Laboratory.

AROMATIC STORY.

"Jessics," the society gossiper of the
Washington ID. CD Sunday Chronicle
writes:
It has been many, many years since we
first saw Mr. Owens. Then he was the hand
soonest man on the stage, with superb and
graceful figure, fine features, aud glorious
GROWING of golden brown hair, which his
eccentricity caused him to cover whenever
on the stage with fiery red wig. At that
day actors aud actresses, however high they
might stand in their own profession, rarely
attained to eny high social position. During
an engagement at the Baltimore Museum
he fell in love with and courted the beauti-
full Miss Warfield, The acknowledged belle
and leader in the sristocratic world of that
city, famed for its beautiful women and
delicious terrapin! Ovens benefit was an
nouOced, and the Museum was crowded to
its utmost capacity, for the handsome young
actor was IN Immense fay0rite with the
ssheatre-goers.-
A long delay iuililcwed the last notes OF
the overture; the band again began 20 play
"a half, and then an hour, when the mana
ger appeared and stated to the crowd that
their money would be refunded at the door,
Mr. Owens being unable to appear. The
scene which followed cannot be described!
The next morning the fashi 9nable wozld
was shaken as by an earthquake, for the an
nouncement went forth that the beautiful
Miss Warfeld had eloped with Mr.. Owens.
and her cousin, Miss =, with fellow
actor of the comedian. How the knowing
ones talked! But years came and went;
Owens and his lovely wife remained as they
still do, q most devoted couple; fair Children
came 70 bless the union, and to-day who
says sugtlt bat that It has been happy
marriage? The other welded couple led
most wretched life. The poof wife strug-
gled against poverty aud illness until des'hj
so welcome in such cases, relieved her cares.
Her husband proved totally unworthy, and,
we believe, died from maniac p0tu.

To Speculate w1theut RISE.

This problem, apparently so difficult, is
like Columbus egg, easily solved. The Gift
concert Of the Public Library of Kentucky
will positively come off Dec. 8, and ticket
in that may be large fortune in cash, as
there are 1900 prizes of from S250,OOO
down to $50. This speculation is open to
all, the risk so slight that it may be disre-
garded, and the prospect of gain is greater
than ia offered by any other enterprise iu
the country.

Our Peculiar Facilities for Manufac.
turing.

turing.
To the Union and American;
The manufacture of putty is matter Of
importance, and we'll deserves notice in this
series of letters. Putty is Used in great
quantity by our cabinet-mskers, GLACIERS,
carpenters, and all those who work in wood
or & ass. It is made Of cleared chalk, called
whiting, aud linseed oil, raw or boiled, the
raw being greatly preferred. Putty of iron
is used to give by friction smooth and
glossy surface 10 telescopes, eyeglasses,
mirrors and other optica. instruments, as
well as to polish marble. Putty of lead is
used in chemical experiments. In the East
thrifty farmers make their own putty, and
sava ohe-third in cost. Ia Eastern cities
there are many putty factories, where it is
made by tons. Our apothecsries all go to
the East to buy it for our consumption.
Now the production of all sorts Of putty
is simple pro ess. It does not require
much preparation aud may be carried on
with small or large capital. Who among
US will at once take hold Of such an enter
prise? There is no risk. There is sure
sale and profit of 333 per cent. Even our
butchers will he in high glee TO have q putty
factory, because the bladders now thrown
away by them Is useless, will be of value
for the preservation of the putty against
dryness and hardness.
BRUSHES.
There are many varieties Of brushes, soft
and har.', ornamented and plain. Paint,
tooth, whitewasbing, cloth, shoe, hat, fin

~ of few brushes. 1t is singular and can
sGrable that We have no brush mandatory

tens of thousands Of hogs are butctered in

bristles that grow on the back of a hog are
worth four dollars pound; the
side bristles shout seventy-fVe cents
after they are cleaned, bleached,

maker and the saddler use the back bristles
extensively. Now we have in our State
