Last Saturdays Chicago Tribune contained
quite a lengthy article on the Ottawa Glass
Works in reference to their blue glass, from
which we make the following extracts:
The IMPRESSION has gained ground somewhat
in the public mind, through the medium OF the
publications relating to blue glass, that the best
material for use is that which is imported from
Europe Gen. Pleasanton himself, who may cor
rectly be termed the father OF this new and eX-
cellcnt treatment SO far as its Introduction into
this country is concerned has repeatedly stated
that he has used European glass, OF dark maza-
rine hue, because it is fused with cobalt, which
furnishes the best base for color But were
Gen. PleasontOn to test the glass winch Is now
manufactured by the Ottawa Glass Company, at
Ottawa H. he would at once acknowledge that
there is no further for purchasing the i'm
D ,rted article for the reason that the blue glass
made by this Company is the same IN every cs
sential as the material made on the other sloe OF
the Atlantic. And We VIII snow IN le" "otus
why this is so.
An inspection of the first consignment OF this
Ottawa blue glass by experts and comparisons
made, show that it cannot be distinguished from
the best imported glass. An idea of expensive
ness attending the coloring Of this blue glass
NAV be CLEANED from the bare statement that the
refined cobalt alone costs 81 per ounce. Several
other materials have also to be used to give II
the requisite soft blue shade. 1t was very fortu-
nate for the Ottawa Glass Company, OF which
Judge John d. Cation, OF Chicago, Is PRESIDENT
that they had in their employ not only Su-
perintendent familiar with the composition OF
the glass but also blowers who had made the
same article in Europe.
The Importance of the blue glass manufacture
cannot be oyerestimated Since its introduce
ton, and since the people have come to recog-
nize its remarkable sanitary properties.-or
rather the effects produced by sunlight Uttered
through this glass,-there has been wonderful
demand for it. The great object Is to get the
best glass, so that the greatest good may result
Inferior glass should be avoided. The Ottawa
factory is the first in the United States that has
undertaken to make this quality OF blue glass,
and the esteem in which 1t is he'd may be infer
red from the fact that the agents here have re-
ceiyed orders from New York for large consign-
ments, the demand there having exhausted all
the imported glass in the market
The capacity OF the Ottawa factory is over d.
600 boxes of glass annually, and it is the inten-
ton of the Company not to stop with the manu-
facture of blue glass but to make all other
shades Of equal excellence with that which is

The Speakersnip.

The SpeakeISnlp.
We do not feel so confident rs some OIL
our contemporaries that the Democrats VIII
elect the Speaker OF the House OF Repre-
senta,iyes which is to assemble In Washing
ton on the 4th of June, Tor about that time.
The majority claimed by the Democrats Is
not large, and even this may be larger IMAM
the facts Justify. Those members OF tue
next House who were filibusters IN the ias'
cherish good deal OF resentment 'o""i"'
Mfr. RANDALL, and it is not altogether ce'-
tain that he can count upon the 'o'es VI
all the Democrats in that BODY even "''',
h;s nomination in caucus, which latter eVent
we think there Is but little reason to DOUBT.
Then there are Democrats from seferat OF
the southern States who may take a notioh
NOT m oo into caucus, but to vote for some
representative OF the policy which freed
Louisiana and South Carolina from military
rule.
We some weeks ago came out in an aTti-
Gle advocating the denomination OF MI.
RANDALL. He is in one sense representa-
tive of the HAYES policy; that is TO say, he
so ruled in the House Of Representatives
during the last days OF its last session as to
insure the succession to the presidency TO
Mr.. HAYES. Gratitude for his services IN
this matter ought to secure as many votes
for him from the Republicans as dlssatis-
faction with the same act will cause nm 10
lose amongst the Democrats. But "ousht
to" and ..will'' arc not the same. The
Republicans have President whose good
will they hope to secure, and they VIII NOT
sunport RANDALL unless Mr.. HAYES be for
him, as he is not at all likely to be, though
he owes his office to Mr.. RANDALL. How
ever, there is possibility that RANDALL
may be elected Speaker by the combination
OF few Republicans with the great body
of the Democrats because there arc disSat-
isfed Republicans as well as dissatisfied
Democrats.
We regard it as certain, ut any rate, that
no such man rs GARFIELD can be elected

House of Representatives in the advocacy
OF the policy which has freed Louisiana
and South Carolina, might be. He is fair

wards the South, and was recognized rs
such several years before Mr.. HAYES
had any reputation in that line. Mr..
BANKS, OF Massachusetts,, is most COM
potent aspirant. The House has had
few ADLER speakers than he was. He
is one of the lucky sort Of politicians, too,
and knows how far to goin any given direc-
ton and when to turn back. He was a
Democrat first; then know-Sothing
then Republican; then Liberal Republi-
can lin 1872, when he supported GREELEY J
and last year he was HAYES man. Be
sides, when he was Speaker OF the House it
used to be said of him, as it is now sometimes
said OF our Judge GUIGoH, that he was so
upright, or straight, or erect, that he leaned
backwards. He will therefore not be feared
by the opposition whether he be the candi-
date of the one party or the other.
We repeat, therefore, that we are not sure
that Mr.. RANDALL can be elected. There
are new elements at work in the two par
ties: and at best "whitc folks arc mighty

BUSINESS ITEMs.-The Portsmouth (Ohio)
Times brings us the news that the Legisla-
ture OF Ohio has unanimously passed reso-
luton granting the scioto Valley Railroad
Company the privilege Of using the tow
path OF the canal. This saves the company
some $4,000. This railroad will certainly
be completed to Portsmouth this fall; and
a charter for a railroad from Portsmouth to
Huntington has recently been obtained by
parties in Ohio. Richmond will soon have
railroad connections with the Great West.

corn for the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad.

A most frightful and shocking accident
occurred Mt Wareham, about seven miles
above here, q day or two ago. The young
wife of Mr.. Frank Lands was sitting on
the ground in the garden, where some weeds
were burning. Her dress caught afire, and
before she knew it she was in blaze. She
is terribly burnt, and is at this writing very
low, her legs and back being very much
burnt.
The Good Templars of Gloucester met

chaplain: and the Rev. Mr. Littleton, past
worthy chief. There are seven lodges in
the county, with membership OF about $50.
During the late blows there have been re-
markably high tides. On the night Of the
