The Opinion of Minister HOughtOn in
the Matter.

New YORK, June 4. Minister Houghton,
who returned from ST. Petersburg last night,
says of nhilsm, that the difficulties in Rus
STA are greatly exaggerated by correspondents
protesting to date letters from st. Peters
burg A few miscreants who think they can
gain something by assassination, are banded
together, but their numbers are insignificant
and their purposes wicked. My opinion,
based my own observance is that the
mass of the peoples sympathy is with their
government and their Emperor. The army
is loyal.

Mr.. EDITOR We wish to say few words
through the journal on the subject of Writing
Fluids and Inks. having manufactured and
sold thousands of gallons of ink ourselves,
and spent years and much money Investigate
ing the subject. At first glance some ght
deem the subject of writing inks not very
important matter. as no one person uses a
very large quantity. But this is not true
and in regard to quantity. the aggregate of all
the mites used by the multitude would make
quite little ocean, Everybody uses ink in
the enlightened world; the exceptions are
few; and nothing. except perhaps it be pure
blood, is more in demand than good article
# writing ink, up to the extent measured bv
the quantity used. and nothing hardly is more
Objectionable or disagreeable than poor ink
But why is it that there are so many worth
less inks made? 1t is because so few per-
sons know how to make good article, and
scarcely any subject in the whole range of
chemical combinations and reactions is more
confusing or pcrplexins than the chemistry
of writing ink we mean the determining of
the necessary combinations and proportions,
as well as the proper chemicals to use. And
there are SO few chemicals that can enter in
to the composition of really good ink, for
there are very many qualities that should cx-
ist in a writing fluid, and many absolutely
Indispensable in good article
A good writing ink should possess the fol-
lowing qualities Ii should be Jet black. and
black when first used brt this is not strict
~ necessary. 1t should keep good any length
of time and not decompose or become muddy
or deposit "A sediment or mould by exposure
to light or the action of the atmosphere. 1t
should not corrode steel pens. clog or gum
