show that cork may supersede india
rubbia for springs in machinery. es-
pecially where the pressure is very great.
Extreme pressure will destroy rubber,
causing it to break orsplit up into small
pieces, losing it's elasticity entirely. No
such result follows in the case OF cork,
properly prepared. The cork is first
soaked in a mixture of water and mo-
lasses, which gives it some softness and
permanent moisture. It is then cut
into disks eight inches in diameter. AS
many Of these as are needed are put

half their original thickness, bolt is
run through the center, and nut and
screws hold them in place.

The establishment of Governor Til
den is conducted upon scale Of muni-
ticence we'll worthy Of so wealthy an Of
fetal and in a manner to reflect high
credit upon the State. Dom Pedro,
who passed through here at daybreak
some weeks ago, and had the Governors
mansion pointed out to him. is said to
have remarked that he was the only Of
fetal who seemed to have place worthy
of him. The Governor maintains about
twelve servants, one of them the cook,
having formerly been in tho service of
the same Dom Pedro. He has eight
horses, two Of which are his favorite
saddle steeds. He rides nearly every
evening upon ono of these through the
beautiful Washington Park, and his
graceful bearing, even upon a highly
melted animal, is universally conceded.
He rides always unattended except by
personal friends; with whom he often
tries a gallop on the roads outside the
park. He maintains also seven car
raiges-a landaulrett, brougham, dog
cart, cIaHnce, and two buggles-and if
occasion requires, could treat the Al
banians to fine four-in-hand.
An establishment so extensive re-

GoD's RULE.-No friends have a real
perfect suitableness to each other, and
roughness and inequalities that are
nearest us are most troublesome. The
wonderful variety and contrariety OF
apprehension, interest, temperaments;,

that, whilst we are scandalized at the
discord and confusions of the world,
we must recall ourselves and admire
that all-ruling Providence which keep

the wire three taps and upsets" it to Il
head while he grips it in a countersunk
hole between his teeth and lays it side
ways in grove, where levers and
springs, playing like lightning, point
the pins. and whence they are dropped
into box. The pins are then polished,
and two very intelligent machines reject
every crooked pin. Another au'omaton
asserts hall dozen lengths, and IA per-

bv the heads and transfers them to slips
of paper, and by one movement stricks
them all through two corrugated ridges

EON. The TCkGEEENED GLASS IS MADE
We have formerly made note of the
Bastie toughened glass. It now ap-
pears that manufacture has fairly be-
gun in this country, and our reader
will be pleased to know the process by
which the glass is toughened. The
Iron World has examined the works at
Bellaire, Ohio, and we extract the III
formation on the method OF toughen-
ing. The article manufactured is q
lamp chimney.
The chimney is taken from the blow
er and heated to dull redness in small
furnace OF peculiar construction. This
furnace is heated with benzine and its
proper construction proved a serious
difficulty for long time. -Four men
are engaged in holding the chimneys
in the flame of this furnace, the proper
and equal heating ofthe chimneys- be-
ing the most delicate part OF the pro-
cess. Benzine is used to avoid the de-
position of carbon and SCOT upon the
surface of the glass. otherwise the oil
bath would permanently fix the carbon
in the glass and ruin it. The oil bath
consists of three parts of linseed oil and
one of tallow, and is heated at 800
deg. Fahr. The heat derived from the
chimneys may, by rapid working, run
it up to 400 deg, beyond which ii is
not wise to go. A test while present
showed 800 deg. The temperature of
this bath is thing to be watched. 1t
is contained in Il rectangular iron tank
of bbls capacity. Over this tank is
a shoet-iron hood in shape like the roof
of house and in each side of the roof
is an opening for the admission of
the chimneys. The gable end of the
tank is set against the furnace. To
each furnace there are two such tanks,
into which the workmen put the chin
neys. as fast as heated. In each tank
two iron baskets with perforated bot
toms are placed. When one is filed
an empty one takes it's place, and after
sufficient time (from 10 to 1G minutes)
has passed to allow the last chimneys
placed in the basket to get the full
benefit of the bath, it is lifted out and
Immediately plunged into cold water
bath. Out OF this water bath the
chimneys are taken soon as possible and
put into tank of benzine to free them
OF oil. They are taken out, dried,
rubbed with bran and are ready to
ship. A chimney can be blown and
got ready for the market i'll 80 minutes.
& takes 10 ordinary blow to break
them. They may be thrown to the
ceiling OF a room Of ordinary hight and
allowed to fall upon bare floor with
out breaking, though it is our opinion
that repeated shocks induce condition
that renders them as easily broken as
any glass.

The ,rrnst Renewed.

From the Ne1D York Times, NoU. 8.
The sober sense of the people has tri
umphed after all Twenty-one States have
been carried by the Republicans, and their /
1876 electoral votes will make Rutherford B. |
Hayes the next President Of the United |
States. The victory is one of the greatest |
moment to the country, and will be the oc |
easion of very sincere thankfulres ess among |
tae majority of.the intelligent and law-abid-
ing portion of the American people. But
the successful result of Tuesdays struggle
should not blind us to the perilous near
pess with which the Republican Party has
approached defeat The contest comes SO
close to drawn battle as to leave but little
room for jubilstion. The country has
neither accepted the Republican csndi-
dates with pronounced enthusiasm nor
rejected the Democrats with decision. Af-
ter making all deductions on the score of
intimidation and sectional feeling, after
eliminating, in fact, the action of the South
from the moral aspect Of the contest alto
gether, we have still TO face the fact Of a
very decided change of sentiment among
Northern voters in regard to the degree Of
trust to be accorded to the promises Of the
Republican Party. The election of Tues
day did not mark the close of the Republi-
can PArty's long epoch of power. But it
did place the conditions of that power on a
new basis, and it did accompany the re.
newed trust with an emphatic intimatior
that it must be more faithfully discharged
in the future than it has been in the neal
past.
Hal the power heretofore intrus ted t.

been uniformly delegated to honest and abb
men, neither the shot gun policy nor tn
corruption of the franchise could Fave re
ducsd the party to the narrow victory G

THE PRESIDENTIAL RESULT.

On our first page we state carefully the
grounds of the present conclusion that Til
den has failed in his scheme. He has not
made the South ''solid." The three South
ern Republican States that are most relia-
BILE, since Mississippi was terrorized-south
Carolina, Florida, and Louisiana-haye not
been swept into the sack by the shotgun
scheme, and after ALL Hayes is elected.
This is the present prospect. We believe
it will prove to be the actual result. But
every sensible man knows that only definite
returns can settle close election. These
returns we must certainly wait for, few
hours longer. In the meantime, let all
sides possess their souls as patiently as
possible.

THE NEXT HOUSE.

Many more Republican gains in Con-
gressmen are now seen to have been made,
as the smoke lifts from the field, and we
are quite hopeful that there will be
Republican majority In the next House,
though it is possible that there may be
still very narrow margin on the other
side. In Massachusetts,, we gain three and
probably four members. In New York the
nett gain Is one or two members in New
Jersey, one in Pennsylvania seven or
eight ; in Ohio it was FIVE; in Indiana four.
Illinois gains for us probably five members,
and Missouri four. Iowa, Michigan, Kan
sas, and Oregon each gain one
California gains one, and probably two /;
Arkansas has district in doubt
that may make US gain of one.
Wisconsin also has district in doubt, which
may give us gain; in Florida gain of one
is claimed; and in Louisiana one moro. All
these make say 40 gain, (throwing out two
or three for margin,) which would make
change of 6O and make the next House
stand Republicans 151; Democrats 141 {;
with Oolorado's new member to be added to
the Republican side, e,giving them 153,and IL
majority. From this, however, must be
subtracted few Republican losses in the
South-prohabIy one in Kentucky, one in
lsa s.l 80 - south Carolida-ma-
.a.ng total of four, and a change OF
eight, which would leave us but three ma
jority. close calculation.
While itmay be true that we do not quite
carry the House, it is evident that the re-
suit must be very close indeed; and instead
of the present overwhelming Confederate
majority, it will be but a few votes, certain
ly not over ten. This will, we think, greatly
affect the temper of the next Congress, and
check its tendency to indiscreet and reac-
tionary legislation. The Senate will remain
in control of the Republicans, though by a
small majority, and altogether, the Gov
ernment, for four years from the next 4th oi
March, must be administered on so narrow
margin of success, in every department
as to be surely put upon its good behavior
One thing we note with deep mortifics'
tion, and this is the fact that the Republi
cans have thrown away two districts il
Western New York one by factional quar-
rel, and the other by weak nomination
and that they lose one or two district
elsewhere in similar way. These fou
thrown away may be the fatal number tina
lose the House, and that would have givel
us majority there.
