alleable Glass.

One OF the lost arts, which skill
and science have for hundred Of
years been making efforts to rcdis-
cover, is the production of mallcablo
glass. 1t was mentioned by many
ancient writer's, especially by Pliny,
who speaks of its being lndentod
when thrown on q hard substance.
ard then hammered into shape again,
like brass. The world uses vastly
greater amount OF glass now than
during the early ages, but has never
been able to overcome it's brittlU-
ness. That accomplished, and it
would enter into uses not even
suspected now, and probably dispute
with iron itself for supremacy as an
agent OF civilization. A glass spln-
ner in Vienna has recently made
discovery that may lead to the re-
covery of the lost link in the chain
of early invention. Ho is lnanufac-
turing a thread Of this material finer
than the fibre ofthe silk worm, which
is entering largely into the manufact-
ure OF variety Of new fabrics, such
as cushions, carpets, table cloths,
shawls, neck-ties, figures in brocaded
velvet and silk, embroidery, tapestry,
laccs, ard a multitude OF other
things. 1t is as soft as the finest
wool, stronger than silk thread and
IS not charged by heat, light, mois-
ture or acids, nor liable to fade. So
important is the matter deemed, that
while the process is kept profound
secret, the Austrian Minister OF Com
merce has already organized schools
for glass spinning in various places in
Bohemia, aud variety OF manufact-
ured articles are now for sale, and
will no doubt soon reach America.
If 1t shall end in the final rediscoyery
of malleable glass, so that it can be
wrought and rolled into sheets, 1t will
revolutionizo much Of the worlds
industry. Indeed no one could safely
predict to what uses it might not bo
applied, as the material is plentiful
in all lands. Mankind have long
waited for it. Let us hope the time
is near when SO great a boon will be
vouchsafed to them.-LowdoH Zsn,es.

AN IOWA TRAGEDY.
Suicide and Attempted
Murder in Benton County.

In December last, the clrcum.
stances of an attempted murder in
Vinton, of a Mrs. Summer by her
husband, was related in the Eagle.
The parties had separated some time
previously, then living in Minnesota,
the wife coming to Vinton among
friends. After tho attempt made
in December, James Summer, tho
husband, was arrested, and was held
for trial. At the time Of the trial,
no one appeared against him, and he
was released, since which time, we
believe, he has worked about Cedar
Rapids, or in that vicinity, Mrs. Sum.

with friends about Vlnton.
On Friday last, a small quilting
party was gathered, in Jackson
Township, at the house of Mr.. J. F.
Daggett, who is o brother Of Mrs.
Summer. There wero four or five
ladies present, Mrs. Summer among
the number. Some ti,no in the after.

Contagion-The idea OF contagion
should be abandoned. All the mis-.

the most malignant cases day after

contagiousness Of the cholera. The
incipient attacks which all have suf-

AS the Cholera has made its ap-
Dearance in several cities of the Uni
ted States, the following paper, from
the pen Of Rev. DR.. Hanlin, the well
known Missionary at Constantinoplc
will be read with interest. His ex-
perlence with the malady that some
years ago visited Turkey and other
countries OF the Orient qualified him
to speak from n wide experience
with the disease, which is now spread.
ing in many Of our larger cities in
the South:
The cholera, which has just left us
after committing fearful ravages, is
making its way into Europe, and will
probably cross the Atlantic before
another summer has passed.
Having been providentlally COM
peiled to have a good degree OF
practical acquaintance with it, aud to
see it in all of its forms and stages
during each OF its invasions OF Con.
stantinople, / wish to make to my
friends in Maine, some suggestions
which may relieve anxiety or be OF
practical use.
1st. On the approach OF the chol.
eta, every family should be prepared
to meet it without waiting for ply

tiously. that while you are awaiting
the doctor it is done.
End. If you prepare for it it vii

was puzzled; the face Of his cordial friend was
quite famiiar,and he was evidently no stranger
TO himself or family, hut to recall his name was
beyond any effort OF memory. The Professor
Jolhed IN lively conversation, disliking to
make the awkward inquiry, aud hoping for
some chance word to reveal the name Of bis
friend. But it came not, and as the conyer
sation went on, tho ignorance became more
