THE strike among the glass blowers in
Pittsburgh and vicinity, which has con-
tinued for about a year, is now at an end,
and the various factories are resuming
business. The strike was caused by a
proposed reduction of wages, the Eastern
establishments being able to manufacture
glass cheaper than it could be done there.
The men are now willing to take about 20
per cent, below former prices. In short
time all the manufactures will be in full
operation.

again. From twelve o'clock at night
until twelve o'clock at noon is our posi-
tive time; from twelve at noon to twelve
at night most people die. A good meal
in the morning, heavy one at noon, a
light one at night, is a rule which should
be obeyed. A rest after eating is advisa-
BILE, particularly after dinner.

Ice Cream.

Take tin pail holding gallon and
fill it half full of sweet milk, cream and
all. This will be sufficient for six or
eight persons. Into this put about tea
cup of white sugar and three or four ia
blespo0nfuls of extract lemon. These
quantities may be varied to suit the
taste. If you want it very rich add a
couple of eggs, well beaten, as for cake :;
but ordinary stomachs will find the milk
and its cream sufficiently rich. Then
take piece of ice and put it in a wooden
pail and shave it with an ak, aiming to
get it as fine as possible, though some of
it may be as coarse as hickory-nuts Fill
the pail two-thirds full of ice and add
about quart Of rock salt; this is best
but fine salt will do Stir it thoroughly
and pour it into another dish, leaving a
little in the bottom of the pail Upon
this set the tin pail and fill in the space
firmly with the ice and salt, being care
full not to get any into the cream. In a
very few minutes it will begin to freeze
on the bottom and on the sides of the
pail 1t should be stirred as it freezes,
which will make it foamy somewhat, and
of even temperature. In little while
you have an article that may appear
upon the tea-table and that is both en-
jOyable and refreshing Cor. Detroit

There was an old couple at the Cen

through to the West, and they seemed
loving enough until the old man went
out and returned smoking a tive-cent
cigar and with his hat slanting over his
left ear. The wife looked at him twice
before she could recognize him, and then
opened her mouth and said: ''What'd |
tell you, Philetus Remington, before we
left New Jersey? Didn't l say you'd 90
and make a fool of yourself the first

by saying that the cigar onl Y cost five

The Travelling North Carolina Family.

The Columbus (Ohio) State Journal,
a paper given to romancing. tells the
following in its issue OF Oct. 20: Two
men, three women, a wagon, aud a blind
man arrived in this city under circum-
stances that ELECTED considerable SYM
pathy. The blind man was not per-
manent fixture of the party be tackled
himself to it in Southern Ohio, and
dropped out in Columbus. The nve
persons remaining are brothers and SIS
ters, and are named Martin. One OF the
women is about thirty years old,
and the others are in the neighborhood
of twenty, and the men close to twenty
five. They say they started from Ran
dolph county, n. c., with one horse,
wagon and few domestic effects, bound
northward to better their condition, but
without any special point certainly In
view. Their horse died somewhere the
other side of Chillicothe, and from that
point to Columbus they have drawn the
wagon themselves. They made halt
yesterday on High street, between State
and Town, and attracted large num-
Der of people by their ragged, dirty con-
dition, as well as by their singular man
ner of locomotion. They are now shap-
ing their course to point north of In
dianapolis, where they have friends liv-
ing. Their story established consider
able pity among those who heard it
particularly in the case of Col. Groom,
who, by his own exertions among the
merchants along the street, secured do
nations for them to the amount of $50.
With this they will be enabled to buy
horse. Several pairs of shoes were
given them and they were provided with
places to sleep last night
One of the sympathetic crowd that
gathered around the meandering North
Carolinians renewed an old acquaint-
ance. He had been a soldier during the
late war and had vivid recollection of
family in North Carolina who, under
circumstances of distress to him, had
Hospitality received him and furnished
him provisions. The story sounds like
fiction, but in the women of the forlorn
party he recognized, after short con-
versation, the identical persons to whose
bounty he was indebted for q "square
meal when soldering.

A New York letter says : One of the
greatest attractions in the suburbs OF
New York is "Garden City," city
growing rapidly into vast proportions,
and owned entirely by Mr.. A. Il. Stew
art, of New York. Mr.. Stewart, wish
ing TO confer benelt on an industrial
and meritorious class of our citizens,
such as mechanics, artists, statesmen,
clerks, etc., conceived the idea of build
ing city for their use, in which they
could enjoy all the conveniences and
comforts of domestic life at a price
suited to their circumstances. To &C
complish this object, he purchased
tract of land on Long Island, in the
town OF Hampstead, which amounts, in
Guiding some recent purchases, to About
10000 acres, all of which is dry,
sandy soil, admirable for building pur-
poses. The whole tract has been laid
out into broad squares, with wide streets
running through it at equal distances,
which are graded and graveled so as to
furnish the finest drives we have ever
seen. The soil has been improved and
enriched, so that most of it is suitable
for garden purposes, containing a vast
number of fruit and ornamental trees in
a most fourishing condition.
About $50 dwelling-houses have al
ready been erected, and others are in
process of erection, embracing about
thirty for the season. Probably this
number and more will be erected an
nually. The houses vary in size, and
are built in the most substantial and
perfect manner, embracing every posi-
BILE house convenience and comfort for
domestic purposes. We had the pleas
ure of examining one of the best of the
houses completed, and we pronounce
it the most perfect model of a dwelling
house we have known. We could not
conceive OF convenience Of such a
dwelling it did not possess. 1t stood
within an inclosure of about half an
acre of rich soil, with fruit and other
trees, with stable and other out-build-
ings, the whole costing about $40, 900,
and rented for $500, less than one half of
ment in a location that distance from
the city. Some of the houses are small,
with four, five or sig rooms, though ar
ranged for convenience, and rent for
from 500 to 5000 AID $500 per year.
Garden City" is locaetd about
twenty miles from New York, in one
of the most healthy neighborhoods in
the country, and is connected with New
York by a railroad just built by Mr..
Stewart, at great expense, ana is per.
haps the most thoroughly-constructed
railroad in the country, and passen-
gers are carried over it in about forty
minutes.
Mr.. Stewart, in carrying out this
grand, magnificent enterprise, has al
ready expended on it, we are told, not
less than 100000, and the work is
just begun. The city is to remain for
ever for the purpose intended, and the
buildings only to be rented. He has
erected hotel, one of the largest and
best to be found in this or any other
country, but, as yet, no provision has
been made for church accommodation,
wisely leaving it for the tenants to at
tend to that part of the work.

Emigra ion Statistics.

In one week in July last 2, 900 steer
age passengers sailed for Europe from
New York. Last Saturday week 500
sailed in single ship. During the
year ending June 80, 1873, the outgoing
passengers by sea from the United
States were 1875 During the five
years previous the average annual num-
her was 81 900. OF those departing So
706 were cabin passengers, and 65, 44S
were "other than cabin" THIS excess
in the year named is not due to the
Vienna exhibition, for during the three
months of the spring aud summer,
when travel was at ITS height, the steam
ships carried only about 500 more pas
sengers abroad than in the correspond
ing period of 1872. For the year end
ing with Juue, 1873, 48 744 citizens of
the United States came home, and
13. 3SS "aliens not intending to remain"
arrived. The whole Immigration for
the year was 473, 141, exclusive of our
returning citizens. The remarkable in
crease in the number of people going
abroad indicates the return of immi-
grants for good. Some have made
their fortunes some have been disap-
pointed even labor has fail This
last cause has operated tor the past
year more than heretofore, as the re-
turns of next season will show. Brook

The GuillOtine.

Science, says the London Lancet,
would almost seem to be as tardy of
growth as moral principle in some quar-
tiers, if we may judge from the argu-
ments against death by decapitation
which have been revived in connection
with the recent executions in France.
Poiriers, the Limours murderer, and
Moreau, the herbal poisoner of St.
Dennis, were both guillotined last week,
and forthwith the Partisan press in
Weighs against that MODE OF execution,
citing the old experiments of Dr. Sue
(the novelist's father, and even advanc-
ing as la Plus ,frdppant preuUe that the
decapitated head feels and thinks la

Our readers may remember that rather
less than four years ago we had to refute
the theory of DIR. PIBel, that Trop-
mann's head, having lost under the
guillotine the sources of common sensa-
ton, yet retained hearing, sight and
smell, with the whole apparatus of con-
seriousness and intellect The trunk,
he maintained, died quietly and pain

of a few minutes but the brain,

1t is still necessary, it seems, to reas-

becomes venous for want of oxygen,
the condition being that of asphyxIa,

ninety seconds. The physical shock
sustained from the guillotlne would of
itself, moreover, paralyze all nervous
functions too completely to admit of
consciousness taking place during the
brief interval necessary for the thorough
deoxidation of the blood IN the BRAIN.
Beyond the momentary impact of the de-
scending knife on the felon's throat, no
further sensation can be felt. Indeed,
the mode of execution is so painless as
almost to weaken the deterrent force of
capital punishment, certainly to deprive
those who would abolish that punish
ment of any argument deducible from
the "horrors of the guillotrne. "

JUDGMENT OF MUSICIANS. Theodore
Thomas, the distinguished founder and
conductor of the famous Thomas
Orchestra, New York, ought to know as
well as any one the opinions entertained
by musicians respecting musical in-
strumeuts. He declares that they gen
orally agree with him in regarding the
MASON & HAMLIN CABINET ORGANS as
much the best ms ruments OF this class
in the world. 1t is not, therefore, sur
prising that they are now largely ex-
ported to Europe, commanding higher
prices there than the instruments OF
their best makers.

q Louis de Leon.
Oh. let the soul its slumbers break
Arouse its senses, and awake
To see how soon
Life in it's glories. glides away,
And the stern footsteps OF decay
Come stealing on.
And while we view the rolling tide
Down which our flowing minutes glide
Away 40 fast
Let us the present hour employ,
And deem each future dream a JOY
Already past.
Let no vain hope deceive the mind,
No happier let us hope to find
Tomorrow than to-day;
Our golden dreams OF yore were bright,
Like them the present shall delight
Like them decay.
Our lives like Fastening streams must be
That into the engulhng sea
Are doomed to fall
The sea Of death, whose waves roll on
Der king and kingdom. crown and throne,
And swallow all.
Alike the rivers lordly tide,
Alike the humble rivulet's glide
To that sad wave!
Death levels poverty and pride,
The rich and poor sleep side by side
within the grave.
Our birth is bur starting-place;
Life is the running of the race,
And death the goal;
There all our glittering toys are brought
That path alone, of all unsought,
Is found of all.
See, then, how poor and little worth
Are all those glittering toys of earth
That lure us here
Dreams of a sleep that death must break;
Alas before It bids wake,
We disappear.
Long ere the damp of death can blight,
The cheeks pure glow Of red and white
Has passed away;
Youth smiled and all was heavenly fair
Age came and laid his finger there
And where are they?
Where is the strength that spurned decay,
The steps that roved 30 light and gay,
The hearts blithe tone?
The strength is gone, the step is slow,
And Joy grows wearisome and woe
When age comes on
