The Lamp Chimney TraIc.


Pittsburgh Gazette Of Ytrtprdly.
The strike Of the glass lamp chimney
blowers against the "patent crimpOr,b
which they characterize as a "monopcly,p
and as intended TO increase the production
without a corresponding increase Of
wages, has developed another patent
which, /. Ia claimed by manufacturers,
will completely revolutionils the glass
chimney trade. Under the old System,
before the introduction OF the 'tcrimper,"
the blowers nado two hundred aud City
Chimneys In turn Of four hours, but
with tho "crimper" they were required
10 turn out three hundred chimneys at n
turn. This they not only refused TO do,
hut Struck" against The introduction Of
the patent process OF doing by machine.
ry what had been done by hand.
Now, instead Of having the chimney
blown" as heretofore, the manufacturers
have devised a revolving mould, in which
the chimneys can be made, and with the
aid Of the crimper, manufactured at the
rate Of eight or nine hundred per turn, by
unskilled workmen. Experimenting has
been going on for some timO with this
patent mould, and with entire success, il
Is claimed. II is stated that within q
short time the importation Of lamp chin.
neys from Germany has greatly increased,
and at prices which, without the use Of
the patent appliances referred to, our
manufacturers could not compete with.

THE oZAR AND THE SULTAN.

Russia has not made the great powers
assemble in conference for nothing She
never presented her memorandum to the
ambassadors in a spirit of mere child's
play. She has not been concentrating her
armies near the Danube and mobilizing
giant forces for q pastime. She means
business IN every sense Of the word.
Russia intends, from all appearances, 10
strike blow at Constantinopls before the
spring of 1877 shall have passed away.
Were this not the design Of the Gar tho
warlike preparations Of the past few months
would not have been made. He is pre-
pairing for this. and the magnitude Of the
preparations shows how we'll he compre-
hends the hazardous work before him.

''If merchants and bankers who miss letters
from their mail will pass through the lobby Of
the Post Office, between eight and nine O'Clock
any morning, they will learn the mystery OF
their losses: Boys of all styles of dress, from
ten to twenty years of age, open the boxes,
take the letters to the windows, sort them out,
hold them up to the light to note their proba-
bic contents, and sometimes boldly open them
then and there. Shrewd men of business fire.

and take every precaution to insure them

ACQUIEsCING In THE FINAL RESULT.
Tie question that nows sgitates the pub.
lie mind is, "Will the Democracy peace.
ably scquiesce in the ultimate result Of the
Electoral Commission 2" A strong dis.
trust has fastened itself upon the minds OF
the people In this respect. 1t Is groundless,
however. The Democracy are powerless
to oppose the final result of the great Tri.
bunal. If they do commit such folly, 1t
