the particulars of blo4dy work at
Collax in Grant parish. Judge
W. r. Rutland communicates to
the New Orleans Picayurae an ac-
count of the origin of the trouh-
les in Colfax, from which it az
pears that Kellogg, the Governor
illegally forced on the people of
Louisiana and sustained in his
position by Federal bayonets, had
commissioned parish officers, which
greatly offended the local Radi-
cal politicians. Judge Rutland
says:
1.-The Lynch returning board
ignored the election of our parish
officers, and Mr.. Kellogg appoin-

cies, but who did not qualify &C
cording to law, and allowed the

that Kellogg was going to issue
these commissions, hast' ned home

that this negro mob afterwards
prevented the assembling Of a

instance that kellogg issued the
commissions. Judge Rutland also
made the following statement:
The white people in Grant
parish and in adjoining parishes
were assembling to resist the en-
croachments of these men. Ward
aud his desperadoes have been, and
doubtless are now, prowling abont

The AIrIess Moon.

Among the illusions swept away by
modern sciences was the pleasant fancy
that the moon was q habitable globe,
like the earth, its surface diversified
with seas, lakes, continents aud islands,
and varied form of vegetation. Iheos
logians and savants gravely discussed
the probabilities of its being inhabited
by a race Of sentient beings, with forms
aud faculties like our own, and even
propounded schemes OF opening com
munication with then in case they ex-
listed. One Of these was 10 construct

The celebrated porcelain Of SaxonJ
bears the name ofthough il isnot made in
Dresden, but at the town oil Meissen, on
the Elbe, fifteen miles below the capital.
Not TO 20 there is palpable neglect OF
the tourists obligation. The porcelain
manufactory Is in the Old Castle. once

is an imposing edifee. and. from It's
lofty position on the bank OF the river,
looks remarkably picturesque at dis
tance, and not much less so on close in
specton. Its appearance is assisted by
the Cathedral hard by, a handsome
Gothic structure, with graceful open
work spire.
The earth from which the porcelain is
made is obtained from Aue, an insignii.
cant village twelve miles from Zwickau.
The process Of preparing and baking the
clay is slow, difficult aud complicated.

cult is Of the consistency of dough it is
thoroughly worked over by beating,
kneading and treading, and is then put
away moist for year or more to undergo
the moulding process, which increases It's
Elasticity. The better kinds OF porcelain
are formed in moulds Of gypsum, and the
niOest skill and care are needed to fashion
the vessels, as well as in the glazing and
baking. A good deal Of the ware is una
voidGbly spoiled, such precise handling
does itrequire; but the artisans employed
IN lts Manufacture have had years Of
training and experience, and have in
herited their trade, as is the case with
the Brussels lace-makers and Amster-
dam diamond cutters. 1t is said that
the excellence of porcelain depends on
locality and atmosphere; that numerous
efforts to manufacture the Dresden
china elsewhere, with exactly the same
material and the same workmen, have
failed again and again. There was al
ways something lapklng-somethlng
almost inde6nable, but still something.
Whether it is that the artisans are ac-
customed 10 certain routine and sub |
ject to subtle influences of surrounding,
which they cannot change without detri-
ment to the proouct of their hands, is |
an open question but that Okilled labor
not infrequently follows the same mys-
terious law governing the removal of |

periments. The manufacture of porce- |
