The QasstIOu or POIygamT.

Perhaps after all, we shall have to
rely on the fashionable dressmaKers
to deal the death blow to pOlygsmy!
A Salt Lake City correspondent says
that enc of the chief causes OF disaf-
fection In MormondOm is the intro
ducti0n OF fashionable dressmaking
and the consequent creation OF 3 taste
among the Mormon women for hnery
They have discovered that where s
man has half-a-dozen wives it Is ion
possible for him to foot all the millin-
cry and dressmaking bills, snd eonse'
auentIy a number OF the ambitions

pensity. Very few OF the Mormon'
are a6le to pay for the fashionable
costuming of i've or ten wives. BE

The rOugnen ed Glass pIseOvery.

The recent discovery of q method CT
tOughening glass, made by NJ. de Ia
Bsstie, q French manufacturer, has
been tested with such successful re-
suits that the process, which consists
of plunglng the glass into boiling lard
or fat mixed with other substances, st
certain temperature, Is being adopted
with remarkable rspidity. An article
IN the London Times, states that the
glass-makers all over France and Ger
many are using it, and that it has also
been adopted by the Americans in
Brooklyn and Boston aud alsO at the
Bellaire and Wheeling works, as well
as at other works in smaller cities.
As his process of tempering or tough
ening glass makes itten times harder
than before, and is simple and cheap,
! it must of course come into very gen.
eral use, and will prove to be in
valuable as building material. Eg-
cry one knows the difficulty OF OBJ
/ tanning good roofing Tin is the best,
| but tin is costly, comparatively
scarce, and rusts out in time. Zinc Is
poor substance for this purpose.
Iron rusts easily Slate Is brittle, and
on q flat roof breaks easily, and at
best, on a steep roof, is full Of loose
| joints. Tile is heavy, and, like all
clay material, sooner or later will be
leaky. Tar and felt, with gravel
strewn over it, which is the common
roofing material in Chicago, lasts for
a little while, but, under the influence
Of storms and weather changes, very
soon has to be repaired. The tough
| ened glass would seem to answer
every qualification for roofing purpos-
es. 1t does not perceptibly expand or
contract in the different seasons. IL

breaking. II necessary, it can be
made impervious to light, or 1t can be
made transparent, so tnat any degree
of light may be obtained through 1t.
1t can be put on in Plates OF any size,
made with ridges or fisnges so that 1t
can be grOoved together in any form
desired, and it is fire-proOL For floor
ing also it will prove of great service
as it will make q nice, clean surface

through the building. For graperiesr
greenhouses and all projections fol
plants and vegetation, it will be ad'
mirable, as 1t will not be anected Dy
vibrations, and will not be broken by
hail-storms. Every gardener knows
this trouble he has with broken
glass, but by the tempered glass
/ he will avoid all this trouble, aud
save a heavy bill OF expense.
In the mere item Of street-lamps
alone, which are constantly being
broken by stones and storms, the city
could save heavy bill of expense,
For every purpose where glass is nov

come into use. 1t promises to be one

John Bull Sees Sitting Bull.

"Gen. 8. Bull" as one. OF the Sum

distinguish him from John Bull, has
come into great prominence here. He
figures as q presiding evil genius at
the Democratic consultations over the
army bill. He distracts the War
Department, distrscts the usual quiet
Of Army Headquarters, and causes
the peace policy of the Indian Bureau
to strain and creak like a ship at sea.
How he fills all thoughts here is
well illustrated by q ready reply,

lately arrived representatives, Feceiv-

Those who have visited Washing

whose eyes have been so fortunate as

it is q colossal figure Of George, naked

4 GIrI Bitten by & RattIesnake while
Picking berries = Her Terrible
Death.
On Monday morning last, Miss
Sarah Geodloe, daughter Of promi-
nent resident OF Portage, Penn, and
two little girls, named Jennie Wagner
and Laura Webb, went off into the
Wyckoff Mountain to pick huckle-
berries. About 10 O'Clock the Web0
girl returned crying to the village,
and said Miss GOodloe had been Bit
ten by a rattlesnake, and was sick 10
the woods, about mile away. The
young lady's father, accompanied by
a couple Of friends and Dr.. Crane,
hastened TO the spot, guided by the
girl. On reaching it q fearful sight
presented itself. Miss GOodlOe lay in
cOnvulsions on the ground, and was
swollen to an enormous size, DR.,
Crane at once tore her clothing loose
and revealed the fact that her flesh
had commenced to turn black. She
was entirely unconscious, and was al
once pronounced beyond all human
aid. The snake had sunk his faugs
deep into the calf of her leg in two
places, and one of them was found
hanging to her stocking. The doctor
administered such remedies as are
used In such cases, but the unfortu-
nate young woman died in a few
minutes after the arrival of her faith
er and party. Her limbs sWelled so
that the one bitten by the. snake
burst the skin. She died in the mOst
intense agony,
The circumstances attending the
case are related by the little girl as
follows They were picking berries
near the top OF the ridge, and haC
their pals nearly filled. Sudde My
Miss Goodioe gave loud scream
snd dropping her pail, ran wildly out
of the bushes toward a plot of grass
near by, shouting, my God, my God
q rattlesnake has bitten me % ShC
threw herself on the grass, and com
menced rolling and shrieking. ThG
little Webb girl ran toward her, and
saw a portion OF the snake, which
seemed to be still attacking Miss
Goodloe. About half of the snake
from the rattles up, was exposed, and
it was sounding the latter in a man
ner deneting the greatest rage. The
little girl, with singular bravery
seized the reptile by the tail, anC
jerked it loose from Miss GOOdloe, and
killed il with q club before it go
sway. She then told the young lady
that they had better start FOR home at
once, and they hurried hOmeward
the two little girls assisted Miss Good
lOe, who continued to grow ill from
the effect of the bite, and finally
dropped in commissions at the spot
where the Webb girl left her and hur
ried on for aid. -
