Malleable Glass The Secret Discovered.

DiuOhlvH Eagle.
After all the labor and money that have
been expended in futile efforts to discover
some process whereby glass can be made NAL
leable, 1t is almost startling to be informed
that the secret has been found at last; and
yet there seems little reason to doubt the
brief statement of the fact now in circulation
that Frenchman named De la Bastie, who
has spent nearly six years in experimenting.
IN connection with learned chemist, has
solved the problem which has occupied the
attention OF the scientific mind in all ages.
The glass produced by him is said to be as
malieable as copper or iron, and so capable
Of resisting the action of heat that it can
be use for frying pans and all manner of kitch-
en- utensils, as well as for lamp chimnevs,
without risk Of fracture. No particulars that
can in any way throw any light upon the pro-
cess OF manufacture have thus far been given
to the world, nor are any likely to be given
until MIR. Bastie and those associated with
him. have secured something of the golden
reward which awaits the dscoverer of SO valu-
able an achievement of art Tiberius. of
Rome, we are told, ordered the execution of
the supposed magician who produced before
him glass vase which, when bent by fall. |
could be Strengthened by hammer But the
world is wiser to-day. and if Mr.. Bastie has
really revived the lost art of the unfortunate
Roman exhibitor, il will not only richly repay
lim for his labor, but will also hold him one |

The more truth we can learn about affairs

has enlightened the country great deal 1t
Is held the members of that committee did not
have time to make adequate examination into
one dark object the White League oroaniza-
ton. The Information regarding the league
Is unsatl 'factory to many. 1t should be so
full that no doubt can longer obtain regarding
that band. Therefore it is proper that the
balance of the select committee on Louisiana
outraSes should continue the investigation. 1t
Is composed Of gentlemen of whose honest
purpose and fairness no doubt can be enter
tanned. Messrs. Wheeler. Frye, G.. F. Hoar
and Marshall will not seek to cover up the
truth.
They intend to make thorough examina-
ton concerning the White League organiza-
ton, and every tair-minded citizen should bid
them godspeed, and pray that they NAV get
al the bottom facts. If the White League is
the peaceful organization it claims to be let
the fact be established beyond doubt. Ii it
has succeeded in imposing on the sub-com-
inlttee, let that fact be proven. Congress hav-
ing taken hold Of the matter it is due 10
justice and good order that no doubt should
exist OF the correctness Of the course il deter
mines on. The only cause for anxiety is the
short time remaining for action on the part Of
the present Congress. This Congress ought |
to straIghten matters in Louisiana. an we |

SENATOR CAMERoKs EXCURSION.

The attempt to magnify the importance
Of the pending trip of Senator Cameron
and his party from New Orleans to Vera
Cruz, in an idle war steamer, and to bring
odium upon the Administration for per-
hitting it, reveals very questionable, if
not narrow-minded and malignant, grade
of journalism. That the Opposition should
seize upon this occasion to prejudice the
administration is not strange, for such is
their vocation and habit; but what is sur
prising is that Republican journals should
attempt to earn cheap reputation for IN
dependence and superior devotion to the
public veal by joining in this wild clamor,
which is not at all justified by the facts of
the case as we understand them.
We do not propose to defend this trans
action upon the abstract question of right
and propriety, for the reason that strictly
considered, war steamers should never be

Johnson and Grant.

I"Parscn'' Brownlow, in the Knoxville ChrOn-
icle.I
Andy johnson, in the Senate, speaks Of his
affection for the Southern people, referring to
that class of them who participated in the
rebellion, and in the same speech charges
President Grant with being actuated by feel
ings Of yindictiveness and hatred toward them.
When we consider the records of the two men,
we are forced to the conclusion that no man
not having the brazen-faced impudence of this
brawling demagogue could thus speIk The
first difference which ever occurred between
johnson and Grant grew out OF Johnson's de-
sire TO have General Robert E. Lee arrested
and hung for treason. Grant was opposed to
JOhnsOn's programme of arresting and trying
Lee for two reasons: First, he did not want to
hang Lee; and, secondly, he told johnson that
TO do so or to arrest and try him would be a
violation Of the parole which he had given the
General on his surrender. But johnson, re-
gardless of this, insisted that Lee, as 4 repre-
sentative of the Southern people," must be
punished-that "treason might be made obi
ous.' Hewas so persistent that Grant finally
told him if General Lee was molested in any
way lie (Grant) would resign his commission
as Gcneral-in-Chief Of the Army. After that
General Lee expressed his appreciation of the
generosity of Grant, as compared with the
enmity shown toward him by this dear
''fricLd' Of the Southern people.

The object for which it is to be held is one
that appeals to the charitablY inclined, and
the novelty of the attraction to be pre-

self TO draw large crowd. The partici-

THE PROSPECTS of a Republican success
in Connecticut next Monday are encourag-
ing. 1t seems that Senator Eaton has been
making Ku Klux secession speeches for the
Democracy, and the result is a general re,
vival of Republican enthusiasm-the old
kind of enthusiasm which saved the State
from the Copperheads during the war.

may defeat US after all.

from my ancestors; but bear witness that the
strength Of my life, the ideal on which / con-
structed my ministry, the ideal Of that manhood
for which strive, has been the thought of Jesus
proVidences, above all human learning-has been
the silent spiritual influence Of Jesus, discroWned
that he might be crowned again. He ever lives
to make intercession. To me he has been more
than father or mother, and he is the secret Of my
life, the secret Of my power among you"

THE search for health has developed
many efforts to overcome the obstacles
which battle scientists who seek to destroy
and eliminate the diseases of the human
body. The newest effort in this direction
is the use of compound oxygen as a RENE
dial agent, and its success is attested by nu-
merous trials by the patients of DR.. G. r.
Starkey, of this city. As this is really o
matter of scientific importance, and Of ben
eft to invalids the world over, we do not
hesitate TO call attention TO it in this promi-
nent manner. 1t is to be hoped that DIR.
S. will be prevailed upon to make some
public explanation of the results of his in
vestigation of the subject.
