BLUE GLAss.-We do not remember
when any subject, not connected with
politics, had excited so widespread and
universal interest among our people,
There is something so logical in Genera!
PIeasanton's theory regarding the beuef-
cial effects of the associated blue and sun
light, and evidence adducod to su tain i.s
corrcctuess is so incontrovertible, that
thousands are convinced that the expert
ment is at least worth being tried. As a
consequence the demand .or more light''
on the subject comes up troEl every part
OF the country, and it is only equallod by
the demand for blue glass. In this city
the supply Of glass is not equal to the
demand, some Of the largest dealers hay-
ing long since exhausted their stock, and
being unable to replauish it. The sem
saton has also given birth TO a new en-
tarpri-e in the manufacture and sale OF
window sasheS fitted up with blue and
transparent glass, rs required, which find
a ready sale. or the thousands of expe-
riments now being made in accordauc,
with Cen. Plca-anton's theory, we hop
to hear lull and satisfactory reports. Ii
no other good comes OF it, the bDua gla.
.ensation will have at least shown ou
people Chat sunlight is one Of the most
priceless gifts a bountiful Creator has be-
slowed upon us, and which we have toe
much ignored. The old 3omans knew the
value OF sunlight better than we do, and
took thejr sun baths with great regulari
ty. We shall be pleased to receive and
publish correspondence upon this subject
especially such as details the results o

A WORD FOR TRAMPS.

There is, undoubtedly, a vast amount
Of distress prevailing among the laboring
classes Of all countries, and an immense
army Of idle men are to be found in all
our centers Of population. We, in com
mon with other journalists, have read
them frequent homilios ON "their duty to
seel, for work in the country" but when
we read, as we are compelled to admit
we do occasionally, that "a tramp was
shot by some nervous farmer who mis-
took him for burglar, or othor similar
accident happening to one Of these un
tortuate men, it tends to give us pause "
in our own opinion.
We heard the other day Of the case of
respectable young man in this city, who,
urged by his parents to seek employment
in the csntry, as he could not find it in
the city, started Off on his journey on
foot, and after trying in vain for about Il
week concluded to return homo by
tramping" (walking). Arriving a. an
inn one evening he found another tramp
had arrived before him. They were en-
tire strangers to each other. Ator par
taking Of supper, being very tired, they
went to bed, and soon after were roughly
aroused from their.slumbers by deputy
sheriff aud posse, and forced to submit to
a critical examination on a charge OF rob
bing stage a few days before. Fortu-
nately for them they did not bear the
least resemblance to the robbers, and the
sheriff who had ridden some twenty miles
tO overhaul them, was not very choice in
the language he selected to express his
thoughts OF the mon who had "stWtol
him Oh such wild goose chase" but
the nervous excitement enganderol in The
young mans mind prevented his making
any further effort to procure work in the
country, unless he could do it in some
other form than as tramp"
In European countries provision is
made lor this class. a notable instance
is found in the history ota man named
John KyrIo, immortalized by Alexander
Pope MS The Man OF Ross" If oul
memory serves Us, he had left his native
town in poverty and gone to sea, and af
ter some successful voyages returned tC
his home as tramp, and claimed It's
hospitality, bat was treated with such I'M
kindness that he next day tried neigh
boring town in the same character. BE
ing treated kindly he settled there, and
became the leading merchant Of tho
town, and his memory is cherished to.
day wherever Pope's poem Of the Man
OF Ross " is known, and that is all oven
the enlightened world.
To the credit Of the Irish people, be il
said, thoy arc proycrbial in their owl
country for theirhospitality TO the stran
ger that is within their gates" while th.
ethics OF the Turks teach them that th
stranger is Gods guest Commercial

WOMEN IN THE TREASURY. The do
lection of another thief in the cash-room
of the treasury affords mo the opportunity
of calling attention to the superiority of
women over men in resisting temptation.
Since the first greonback was printed tho
counting and putting up of packages OF
money have devolved entirely upon girls
and motrons. Thore are few in office
now who have been there from the | O.
ginning, and billions Of dollars have pass-
ed through their hands without the frac-
ton Of a dollar sticking. Have they been
rewarded ? No Numbers Of men like
Winsow, the last thief caught, have been
appointed by political influences, at sNla-
rios double those paid women, who can
not be we'll dispensed with, are not only
never prompted, but are trerted as though
they should be thankful that they aro
permitted to serve the Government for
S75 a month. Sometimes package that
! has bcen counted by n woman has been
found short in account, and no matter
! how innocent the counter may be, the
amount missing is taken from her months
salary. In almost every instance Of this
Kind eventually the thief has been found
10 be n male messenger, or some nan
who received the package from the lady
and abstracted one or two notes. Cores

THE FIRE FIN winch 2,G00 People
PERIsHED.-I'ho greatest fatality from
FIRE in public building during this cen
tury was that which occurred at Santa
60, the capital of Chill, December s, 1862
This was not in theater, but in the
leading church of the city, which was
crowded in the evening TO over1oWng by
more than 3,000 persons. A parallino
lamp, used to illuminate e transparency
on the high altar, set its frame work on
fire, and quickly wrapped in flames a
kind of tabernacle composed Of nasto-
board, canvass and wood. The church
was filed with no less than n, 000 lights,
arranged for display in long festoons OF
colored globes, with gauze and drapery
orevery description surrounding the lights
In less time than it takes to tell the story,
the whole interior Of the great church be-
came an inextiugushable bonfire, and q
rain Of liquid bluo-fye poured down upon
the crowded masses below. The church
had but one door which could be reached
by the panic stricken multitude, and thi.
door opened on the inside, and was block
ed up at the very outset of the panic by
the surging and struggling mass. Es-
cape was thus made impossible, and in
less than quarter Of an hour about q
600 human beings had perished, mostly
women and children, but very few men

American Ambassador, who was present

lives, and was the means, it is said, of ex-

ing building, never deserted his post at tho
threshold Of the doors until the roof had
fallen in, when he was carried from the
spot with his clothes smouldering and
his hair singed to the roots. The legisla.
ture Of Chill, after this disaster, passed
an act prohibiting illumiaations ofchurch.

A RAILROAD THAT CROSSES IT'S OWN
TRACK.-Jhe editor Of the lameda m
ciH0j has made trip on the Southern
Pacific Railroad, aud thus describes the
" Loop " section OF that enterprise: AT
Cajiento Station the genuine romance OF
the route commences. We touched this
interesting point just at break Of day on
Tuesday; and for an hour thereafter, al
hoit there was n "nipping and an cage"
air." we manluily kept our watch on tho
rear platform OF the train, wondering at
,be ingenuity Of man in forcing a pas
sage through obstacle. which, to the un-
professional, would hayo appalled, the
the Stoutest heart. The Tehaohapi Pass
is SO to speak, almost entirely made up OF
tunnels-seyenteen in ail-buL built of
such masonry as to remove from the
minds OF travellers all fear Of collapse
The company call this the "Loop Route, -
because, in every fact it forms perfect
loop, as, passing through the ninth tun-
mel, you come back to the same point
and cross the road above 1.-THE only case
of the kind yet known in railroad engi-
neeuug. The loop is located between the
stations, Keene and Girard, $40 miles
from San Francisco. It's length is 3,705
feet. When you imagine you are many
miles from Calionte, you cast your eyes
over your right shoulder, and 10 Caliente
is just beneath you. II is sight once
seen never to be forgotten. A, piece OF
railroad engineering il has no superior,
not even excepting the grandest achieve
ments OF tho famous South American
railroad king, Don Enrico Meiggs The
road is laid with steel rail, and the ballast
ing is perfection itself.

THE Cur AND THE LIP.-The prov
orb that many things fall out between
the cup and the lip is n literal version of
one in Latin" Mute inter pocuia libra
caoilat the origin Of which was as
follows "A king Of Thraco had planted a
vineyard, when one OF his slaves, whom
he had much oppressed in that very work
prophesiod that he should never taste Of
the wine produced in it. The monarch
disregardeG the prediction, and when ut
an entertainment he held n glassful of
biz own wine made from the grapes Of
that vineyard, he sent Tor the slave and
asked him what he thought Of his proph-
ecy now? To which the other replied,
Many things fall out between the cup
and the lip ;" and had scarcely delivered
this singular response before the news
was brought in chat monstrous boar
was laying waste the favorite vineyard.
The king, in rage, put down the cup
which he held in his hand, and hurried
out with his people to attack the boar,
but being too eager, the boar rushed up
on him and killed him without his hav-
ing tasted Of the wine. Such is the story
related by some OF the Greek writer >
and though evidently apocryphal, it GER
tainly Is productive Of good practical

old colorcd man named Uncle Jim lliIi
set himself up the other day as a phre

TIE SALT IN THE OcEAN.-SuperG-
cial observers formerly assumed that the
saItuess OF the ocean was due to beds OF
rock washed by its waters, but little
examination win prove that this is put
ting the effect for the cause, since the
beds Of salt themselves, wherever found,
give sufficient evidence that they are but
the deposit of ancient oceans or isolated
bodies of sea- water that have dried up
The modern scientific theory refers the
salt in the ocean to The chemical changes
which have taken place between the ele-
meut5 that constitute the earth's crust in
former geological periods. The sea- wa
ter also contains gold and silver. Cold
exists in nearly one grain to ton Of wa
ter, and is held in solution by iodide Of
calcium. Silver will deposit itself on the
copperiug Of ships until it is actually
found profitable to melt up the copper
from old ships aud extract the more val
ua6le metal. 1t is estimated that the en-
tire body Of sea water holds in solution
more than 1000 600 tons Of pure silver.
