T0ughene1 Glass not q Modern
Invention.

In q "Dook of Curiositicsn - VIC
read: "There was an artificer in
Rome who made vessels of glass OF
so tenacious q temper that they
were rs little liable to be broken
as those that are made Of gold and
silver. When, therefore, he had
made vial Of the purcr sort, and
such as he thought present wor.
thy of n Cesar alone, he was adj
mitted into the presence of the
then Emperor, T'ibcrius. The
gift was praised, tho skillful hand
of the artist applaudcd, and the do
nation of the giver accepted. The
artist, that he might cnhan CO the
wonder Of the spectators. and
promote himself yet further in the
favor of the Emperor, desired the
vial out Of C@sar's hand and threw
it with such force against the floor
that the most solid metal would
have received some damage or
bruisc thereby. Cesar was not
only amazed. but affrighted with
the act; but the artist taking up
the vial from the ground (Which
was not broken, but only bruised
together as If the substance of the
glass had put on the temper Of
brass drew out an instrument
from his bosom and beat 1t out to
its former figure. This done he
imagined that hc had conquered
the world, as believing
that he had mcritcd an ncquain-
tancc with Cesar and raised the
admiration of all the beholders; /;
but it fell otherwise, for the En-
perOr inquired If any other per-
besides himself was privy to the
like tempering Of glass. When he
told him No. he commanded his
attendants to strike off his head,
saying, : That should this artficel
como once to be known, gold and
silver would be of as little value %
the dirt In the street," Long after
this-viz., In 17IO- We read that
among other rare presents then
sent from the Sophy Of Persia to
The King Of Spain, were six mir
rorsof mAllesbls glass, sosexquisit-
ely tempered that they could not
b brokod.

tent that shows that, as oil thought

the country is by no means ripe as
yet for the institution of trial by

present case a man in o country

children at different times, and
had buried the bodies in the floor
Of the back room of his cottage.
A fifth escaped from him while be

/ The claim Of the United States
for the return of the 81, 500. 600
lent to help out the Centennial
Exposition has been rejected by
the United States Circuit Court ut
Philadelphia, although there are
abundant funds remaining in the
hands of the managers with which
to satisfy it. Consequently, unless
the decision Of the court is revers-
ed on appeal. the $l.500, 900 will be
distributed among the sharehold-
ers in the enterprise, and be Just
SO much taken out If the public
Treasury for their benefit. That
this would be the result was FORE
told by the opponents of the loan
ut the time it was proposed and
was Indignantly denied by its
friends. Some Of them. at least,
were disingcnuous in their denial,
aud intended that the money should
be gift and not a loan, as is evil
dent from the peculiar wording Of
the bill appropriating il.
The clause which was relied on !
to protect the interests Of the ua-
tion, and which vas used to secure |
votes for the grant reads thus:
"The appropriation hcrcinbc-
fore made shall be paid in full into
the Trearury Of the United States
before any dividend, or percentage
Of profits shall be paid to the
holders Of said stock"
The advocates Of the grant pro-
fessetl to read these words with a
comma after the word dividend"
and persuaded the public that no
dividend Of any kind would Lc
paid to the stockholders until q
loan from the United States had
been first returned. Now, BY
their counsel learned IN the law
they have SUCCESSFULLY contendcd
that there is no such comma, and
that only a dividend or per cent
age Of the profits, was intended.
lnaslnuch as dividend Of capi-
lal snot a dividend of profits, they
have got the Judge to say that the ,
stockholders may pocket the ST. Il
100000 as returned capital, and the
United States must lose the whole.
This is not the first time that a
comma or the want of q fish hook
~ which to pull money out of the ]
public Treasury. A clause IN the ,
Tariff act of 1875, by the omission
# this modest sign of punctua. I
ion, admitted free of duty all y
,inds Of foreign fruits, when the q
Intention OF Congress was merely t
o exempt fruit imported for the u
axe OF their seeds. The trick In q
hat case was universally denoun- Il
cd and speedily frustrated, but IN b

The lberville, La, South, publish
ed in the town ofPlaquemine, gives
the following report of a serious
caving Of the river bank at that
place. 1t says:
Our town was visited with a
terrible calamity on the evening OF
the 18th. About s p. m, a crash
was heard on the river front at the
head of Main Street, and the peo-
pie living near the levee, who rush.
ed out Of their houses to see what
was the matter, discovered that
onc-half Of a brick warehouse had
fallen into the river, and the lcvee
had also gone down. A short
time afterward we arrived upon
the scene, when the, remainder of
the building went in to the river.
The Planters warehouse, occu.
pied by Mr.. Gustavc Roth, was
the next TO 90. In this building
was q lot Of sugar and molasses
but by great exertion this was roll
cd out and fortunately saved.
In short time the building oc-
cupied by Laboyde as a cake shop
began to totter, aud before every.
thing could be taken out, 1t went
over in the river with a loud crash.
The night was very dark, but
with the aid Of q lantern we wend.
ed our way along toward the
mouth of the bayou where we
found the levee caving in all the
way up to the point at the bayou.
Every one living on Front street
were moving their goods and chat
lies. Attempting to return we
found q yawning gulf of water
IN place Of the road over which we |
had just Travelled. We then came
INTO Bank street, and on going up |
Plaqnemine street, we found II |
was about ~ O'Clock, midnight,
md we left the scene. Early on
he following morning we again
'isitcd the scene Of disaster, and
vc found that the row of houses
~ Front, street, consisting Of
omc ten or twelve, were on the
rink of the cave about to topple
'ver. Tho people were tearing
lown their houses and cndcavor-
ng to save the lumber. Eight
'ouses fell into the river, and
bout q dozen or more have since
'een torn down, and before the
svee is built over thirty houses
'ill have disappeared from the
most populous portion Of the
own. This is doubly unfortunate
S the greater portion ofthis prop
rty belonged 10 poor people, who
ave been deprived Of their homes
Y this sad disaster.

A Strange Scene IN Church.

From the Rochester (y. ~ Union, Jan. a. !
One day last week a young man
living In Gcncsco elopcd with tho
daughter Of q wealthy aud respect
cd citizen, the parties for some
time previous having manifested o
decided affection for each other.
Tho young couple went 10 Mount
Morris, where they took upon
themselves the solemn obligations
OF marriage I; but their present
whereabouts are, we believe, un-
known. The young lady's father
was in Albany at the time on busi-
ness, and somebody wrote him
that he had better come home and
look after his daughter. lie re.
turned Immediately. On Sunday
last he attended church, and here
occurred q strange scene. The COLI
grcgation had just concluded the
singing Of the first hymn when he
arose in his pew, took out his
watch, and addressing the clergy.
man, exclaimed: "Therc Is a dev-
II In this church, andI give him
Just five minutes to liva!" At the
same time he drew revolver and
pointed 1t at lady seated IN a pew
In front Of him. That lady was
the mother of the young man who
had clopcd with and married the
others daughter. The woman.
acting under al impulse of discre-
tion, left the church. and things
settled down again to o quiet state
Of affairs. Nothing further has
been done about the matter, though
The whole community have made
It q subject Of constant talk. It
seems that the man who feels 60
deeply aggrieved at what had pre-
taken place supposes that
The elopment was instigatcd by the
young mans mother.

With plying look,
When came the carly hush OF dawn,
My gem lie took.
Close to my breast that morn I held

An empty casket,-the bright gem
Was safe at last.
