terday were of special interest, on ac-
count of the presence of the largest
glass manufacturer in the United States.
He was unbounded in his enthusiasm
over the new process, which he then
saw for the first time.
The advantages of the new system
will readily occur to the reader after
explanations already made in this ar
ticle. The absence of smoke, ashes,
sulphur and other impurities enable
the operator under this system to use
open instead of closed pots, so that the
intense heat is thrown upon the mate
rial direct. The time for melting is
thus reduced from fifteen or sixteen
hours to two hours. This astonishing
result was achieved on Saturday. But
Mr.. Salisbury claims that the improve
ment in quality will be as remarkable
as the saving of time. The experiments
on Saturday went far to confirm this
view, for the glass taken out of the
furnace was almost perfectly annealed,
and was drawn out into thin wire with
out breaking. The freedom from i'm
purities, which cause specks in the
glass, will enable the manufacturer to
cut it into large plates, avoid the very
severe losses he now suffers through
having to cut the glass small, in order
to escape spots and imperfections. Mr..
Salisbury proposes to reduce expenses
in glass making in still other ways. He
will triple the daily capacity of the
furnaces, reduce the cost of fuel one
half, save all the expense of cleaning
out ashes, cooling the furnaces, etc,
make the furnaces and pots last five
times as long as at present, and confine
each pot to separate space, so that it
may be removed without disturbing the
whole number, as must be done now.

Finally this desperate seemed to
weary of his massacres, and went into
Nacogdoches County, where he engaged
himself to a farmer. He wrought
quietly for several months, and formed
a strong friendship for a young man in
the neighborhood, to whom, finally,
under solemn pledge of secrecy, he
gave his correct name. His confdant
communicated with the authorities,
who, knowing the desperate character

Two Wasted Lives.

Truth stranger that fiction could be
told of the life of the late Mrs. c., one
of the most eccentric characters of the
Southwest. From the administration of
Washington to that of Van Buren she
was an habitue of the. capital. Jeffer-
son, Randolph and Madison were her
contemporaries. Her youth was spent
on the shores of the Ohio when, Pitts
burg was trading-fort. She held dur
ing. her life all of her husbands great
wealth. The heir-his nephew-who
was to receive the property at her death,
when he came of age refused to learn
any profession or trade, as Mrs. G. was
then fifty and in infirm health. She
would not give him a penny, although
she was childless, living alone on her
plantations, surrounded only by slaves.
:" You better 60 to work, George" she
would say to him. ''Pll walk over
your grave yet" N
He waited twenty, thirty, forty years,
He was a pauper, but the dead woman's
shoes were not yet ready for him.
She made preparations apparently to
live forever. Every year she bought
the costliest dresses and laces, made in
the prevailing fashion, and stored them
away in her great solitary chambers.
The heir, feeble old man, died at last
in the almshouse. She lived on.
In her hundred and first year she was
prevailed upon to make her will. After
disposing of various properties, the
lawyer reminded her of the Bogg farms,
which she had inherited from her
father. "They are mine," she said,
quietly, and continued devising her
husbands estates.
"That is ALL" she said at length, hold
ing out her hand for the pen. r
"But you have not left the Bogg
farms to anybody"
Sir, they are mine foreverw cried
the dying woman.
She fingered for another year, in
which her former slaves plundered her
of all her boarded treasures, and died at
last poorer in friends, in spirit, in the
real riches of life, than even her dead
pauper heir.
What sermon on efeminacy, pride
and covetousness could preach such a
lesson as these two lives?

A Scene in the White House.
Washington Star,


A wiry little weman, about forty years
old, and with snaky curls down her back,
stepped upto the Presidents doorkeeper
a few days ago and solemnly announced
that she was the Goddessof Liberty, and
that she had " descended from the dome
of the capitol on purpose to see the
President" The doorkeeper, somewhat
surprised, showed her to the ante-room,
and asked her to remain there awhile. He
shortly afterward led a party of ladies
in to see the President who merely
wished to pay their respects to him. I'm
seen by him the Goddess of Liberty
slipped in with the party. Inside she
created somewhat of a scene by rushing
up to the President, repeating her asser-
tion that she was the Goddess of Liberty
Just stepped down from the dome, and
demanded the pardon Of her son, who,
she said, was now in the New Jersey
penitentiary. The President, equal to
the occasion, maneuvered her out into
the hall again. She planted herself by the
doorkeeper and refused to move until
she had received the pardon of her son.
The doorkeeper, after considerable
trouble, got rid of her by saying that
the Attorney General had all the papers
inher sons case at the Capitol, and she
had. better go up there Immediately, al
he would soen lock up his Office for the
day. Hearing this she decamped, walk
ing briskly in the direction of the
Capitol. n. 81 81 Ii5t afia5D ns-

Scientific and Useful.

1t is stated that four hundred years ago
but seven metals had been discovered,
while we are now acquainted with the
existence of fifty-one, thirty of which,
nearlythree-ffths, have beenmade known
to us since the beginning of the present
century.
Clock-work has been successfully ap-
piled as motor to sewing-machines by
a mechanician of Vienna. 1t can be
wound up in a few minutes, and it will
run for several hours, its speed being
meanwhile fully under the control of
the operator.
A powerful bar magnet, in connec-
ton with Grove battery, has been sue
cessfully used in London, England, in
extracting chip of steel from the eye
of mechanic. When the magnet was
four inches from the eye, the chip of
steel sprang from the lens where it had
lodged to the inner surface of the cornea,
whence it was removed without much
difficulty.
1t has been computed that one hun
dred of the single threads of a full grown
spider are not equal to the diameter of
the hair of the human beard; and con-
sequently, if the threads and hair be
both round, ten thousand such threads
are not larger than such hair. 1t is
calculated that four million of a young
spiders are not SO large as the single
human hair. sf e.1 /.
Wood is strong in ratio to its weight.
The heaviest and densest will prove the
most durable. This should be selected
for weight-carrying purposes, such as
the ties of bridges, where the two qualities
of strength and durability are desirable.
Coarse-grainedw wood weighs the heaviest,
and, as it contains more resin than that
of finer grain, is especially adapted for
a position which has to contend with any
degree of dampness.
Concerning the so-called rain-tree of
Pew, the water does not ooze from the
trunk, and hardly ever falls in such
quantity as to convert the ground into a
| swamp. The fact appears to be that the
liquid which seems to fall from the
leaves and branches is produced by a
multitude of cicades- that live on the
juices of the tender leaves. This ap-
pears to be analogous to the production
of honey dew from the lime tree by the
agency of aphides.

The Cabinet meeting ways of two fa-
nous Presidents are thus described in
one of the Harper's new American
novels: johnson used to seat the
members at table, call the roll as it were,
and go through business by departments,
beginning with the Secretary of State.
Lincoln was entirely different. Every
man took chair where he pleased. The
President walked about, discussed mat
ters In free and easy way, or sat down
with one and another to private confer
ence. He did what he liked. I have
known him to roost his feet on the table,
tell stories to the Secretaries for two
hours, and then send them home"

The Austrian Emperor and His Love
-il - sai Story. 7tss5s lei,

The Emperor Francis Joseph, of Aus
tria, is indefatigable in his application
to business. He retires to rest at the
hour when life is beginning in Vienna,
and at five o'clock in winter, as IN sum-
mer, the Emperor, active, laborious and
watchful, is always on foot again. He
breakfasts on cup of coffee placed on
his desk, smokes one of the ordinary
Viennese cigars while reading volumin-
Gus dispatches, and remains hard at
work until the early family dinner.
Enthusiastic sportsman as he is, and
devoted to mountain scenery, no wonder
he is delighted to hurry away to his
favorite hunting grounds in the hills of
the Saltzkammergat. He leaves Vienna
in the evening, like an honest merchant
who has finished his business; he crosses
the Traunsee in the night, and arrives
at Ischl at five o'clock in the morning.
There he is to be seen in his blouse,
with his great walking stick, roaming
about in the most enchanting district Of
all his picturesque domains, or chatting
familiarly with the peasants or their
children. He is very happy in his
marriage. His first meeting with his
future Empress was romantic. One of
her sisters had been destined for the I'm
perial Throne, and when Francis Joseph
in his hunting dress arrived one even
ing at his father-in-law's residence on
the Traunsee, he was received by four
young ladies Of the family, who have
all since then made excellent marriages.
As he was chatting with the group, he
saw an apparition of beauty, with mag
nifcent hair floating over the shoulders,
illuminated in the full glow of the sun
set, approaching them from neighbor-
ing wood. 1t was the Princess Eliza
beth, the fifth of the sisters, and the
Emperor from that moment became her
slave.
